Hey Besties, Boozers and Shakers! We're kicking off the new year with our ParaPods pals Taylar and Morgan of Creeps & Crimes! They're bringing us Jack Frost cocktails aka a Christmas bruise in a cup and stories that may have gotten lost in our inbox but were thankfully sent to C&C as well. Join us this week for some beautifully emotional, festively creepy and borderline disturbing stories from our shared listeners. We love y'all! Shout out to all Kentucky mamaws... and that's why we drink!
Announcement: We've gone fishin' (figuratively)! After eight years we're finally starting to build in some time off this year, starting this week Sunday, January 4th. Instead of releasing a regular episode we'll be giving ourselves some FLTs (fun little treats) and giving our staff some extremely well deserved down time. Thank you for understanding!

Happy long weekend, everyone! It's episode 460 and we're so sorry to report that life got in the way this week so we weren't able to record a new episode.

Em tells us spooky tales from the Hotel Galvez and Christine covers the wild story of astronaut Lisa Nowak. We may even catalogue everything in our first ever Buc-ee's carts... and that's why we drink!
