And That's Why We Drink

107: Ghostly Cat Toes and a Box-in-a-Box-in-a-Box

Odds are we’re currently in an airport, on an airplane, or in an airport again. That’s why we’re coming at you live from Phoenix, AZ, this week! Em covers the Jerome Grand Hotel, which is full of bearded ghosts, headless ghosts, and best of all, cat ghosts. The hotel is also inexplicably proud of its ancient elevator, but we’d advise against using it. Next up, Christine picks one of Arizona’s many female murderers, Wendi Andriano, whose terminally ill husband just wasn’t dying fast enough for her liking. **TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE for this week’s live shows - visit andthatswhywedrink.com/live for more info!** Get 15% off your first Thirdlove purchase when you go to third love.com/drink For 40% off all subscriptions, visit mylola.com and enter DRINK40 when you subscribe.

Happy February, creeps and peeps (thank you, Margaret)! We’re in the month of love and we’ve got some spooky, glitchy, and mothman related stories for you. We’re also terrified of a ghost who drinks Jager and, you guys, we’ve got another 3am George Lopez story and we don’t know what to do about it. We think he might be a sleep demon.

Spirit of Christine, are you there? Scratch us with three claw marks if you want us to leave this kiddie pool of wine by your grave! In the last episode before we hit triple digits, Em covers reportedly the most haunted hotel in Great Britain, the Rams Inn of Gloucestershire. This obviously brings us to the age-old question: is it grave desecration to give spirits brownie batter?

Alright, call the priest, Em's future child is causing poltergeist activity again with their baking soda volcano. This week Em brings us the rollicking, spooky tale of Popper (aka Pooper) the Poltergeist, which leads us to contemplate the holy water evaporation cycle and teen girl angst. Meanwhile, Christine shares the traumatizingly dark story of Katy Harris and Krystal Surles. Christine prescribes many King of the Hill episodes post listening to this story.

Listener Stories: Vol. 21

OK, we're seeing a trend here. We're definitely on a friendly ghost kick after a certain doll who shan't be named. This month we read listeners' stories that are fluffier than Gio's butt curtain and feature a financially generous ghost as well as a bitchy sorority ghost who steals your homework... and that's why we drink!

86: The Haunted Doll Market and 420 Zodiac

You might need your EMF readers for this one because we've got two intense stories today. Em brings us the incredibly well-documented and terrifying (we mean beautiful) tale of Harold the doll while Christine tackles the freaking Zodiac Killer. Don't worry, our EMF definitely WASN'T GOING BATSHIT DURING RECORDING. We're fine. We think. We've also discovered we're unwittingly part of the haunted doll market and Harold might have overfilled Christine's wine glass... and that's why we drink!  Please consider supporting the companies that support us!  Get 500 high-quality business cards for just $9.99 from Vista Print by going to www.vistaprint.com and using promo code DRINK  Get a free trial membership of Beach Body On Demand when you text DRINK to 303030 Get $5 off your first month of Chegg Study when you go to www.chegg.com/drink and enter promo code DRINK Get your own 11x14 Canvas People print for free (just pay shipping and handling) when you text DRINK to 484848

84: A Powerful Chicken and a Techno Haunting

Come closer…. we have a secret to tell you… we're certainly not going to vomit a chicken into your mouth. This week Em takes us step-by-step through the myths and transformation process of the terrifying Filipino vampire/zombie/boogie-person, the Aswang. And Christine shares the life and lies of Henry Lee Lucas's infamous, though often exaggerated, career as a serial killer. His horror-scope proves VERY virgo. We also might have been both personally haunted and true crime-d during the recording of this episode so strap in for a wild ride… and that's why we drink!

Listen, we'll set a hell portal on fire, if that's what you need. This week, Em brings us face-to-face with the square-shaped goat pupils of the hauntings at Goatman's Bridge in Denton County, Texas. Meanwhile, Christine takes on the aspiring "Boss Boy" and potentially worst killer in South Carolina's history, Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins.

81: Little Pilgrims and Astrological Issues

Love your hair, hate your guts! It's *just funny* that Em brings back the drunk sorority girl voice but it's fine, we'll talk about it later... This week Em also brings you the mystery of the disappearances at the Flannan Isles Lighthouse in Scotland, and Christine tells the story of Edward, we mean, Charles Cullen, possibly the most prolific serial killer in history.
