This week on Moose on the Loose, we discover that ancient employee loyalty had absolutely no limits.

First, we travel back 4,500 years to the ancient city of Ur, where servants, musicians and guards were buried alongside their dead king so they could keep working for him in the afterlife. Talk about a job that follows you home.

Then we revisit the 2001 classic Shallow Hal and ask the important question: was it a heartfelt lesson about inner beauty, or two hours of fat jokes wearing a motivational speaker costume?

Finally, we meet the rhesus macaque monkeys that have figured out organised crime. These furry little masterminds steal phones, glasses and wallets, then demand food in exchange for returning them.

Plus: animal trivia, Two Mooses and a Lie, and Tara discovers that some animals are far smarter than either of us expected.

It's dead kings, monkey extortion and questionable life choices all the way down.

This week on Moose on the Loose, we uncover the deeply disturbing truth that half the movies from the early 2000s should probably end with police sirens. Drew Barrymore infiltrates a high school in Never Been Kissed, a teacher falls in love with someone he thinks is 17, and somehow Hollywood thought this was wholesome. We also revisit the horrifying era where glasses automatically meant “ugly nerd.”

Then things somehow get even weirder with the true story of the Cadaver Synod — the time the Catholic Church dug up a dead Pope, dressed his corpse back up, put him on trial, chopped his fingers off, and threw him in a river. Medieval history was apparently written by people having full psychotic episodes.

We also discuss Trump’s “space army,” dads screaming about lights being left on, why “we need to talk” is psychological warfare, spite-cleaning mothers, squash goggles, electric cars, and whether catastrophising every possible outcome is autism or just being alive in 2026.

Honestly, this episode has everything:
corpse court, ethical violations, emotional damage from electricity bills, and a woman aggressively turning lights on in empty rooms.

This week on Moose on the Loose, Jasmin and Tara tackle one of life’s great mysteries: why people ask “How are you?” when they clearly do not want to know the answer.

From awkward street greetings, to a heated debate about whether it’s ever okay to sleep at your ex’s house when you’ve got a new partner, things quickly spiral in the way they always do.

Jasmin then takes Tara down a rabbit hole with the bizarre true story of the Dancing Plague of 1518, where hundreds of people danced uncontrollably for days and the government’s solution was, somehow, to hire a band.

Along the way, they discuss the best invention of all time (electricity), whether anyone would survive without their phone, Tara’s upcoming True Grit challenge, and why some old movies were wildly inappropriate.

This episode has everything:

• social anxiety
• relationship boundaries
• mass hysteria
• mouldy bread
• David Bowie’s very noticeable pants
• and absolutely no useful life advice

If you’ve ever overthought a two-second interaction or wondered whether history was just one long series of terrible decisions, this episode is for you.
