There's a very good chance that the traditions shared in this episode have been covered in years past. Luckily for the two idiots on the couch, our minds resemble those of gold fish and we often forget what we've discussed on here. Luckily part two for us, Ciara did remember just how much we loved a middle school band concert and brought us a little treat to enjoy at the beginning of the episode. We hope you all are enjoying a gentle and intentional holiday season with people, animals, books, shows and blankets that bring you joy. Merry everything from our corner of the internet to you! -Jeri & Ciara

The title of this episode is somewhat misleading- not the so poopy so dead part, that's actually bizarrely accurate but if you're having trouble figuring out how those things connect to the holidays, know you're not alone. Ciara typed *christmas* into the email search bar and for whatever reason, death was a central theme. While poop wasn't mentioned as much, it still is our podcast so there's no world where we don't have a poop story correlate with whatever word we type into the search bar. When we do scandal episodes, it is hard to write a description because you all know what is going down so instead of being a thorough explainer, I thought I'd share some alternative title options:

-I love bulldogs, I love bubba Gump, I love being by myself

-Spade and Neuter your sisters or whatever Bob Barker said

-I think I chemical burned my puss puss

-Stay tuned to see who my aunt gives grandma to for Christmas

and finally

-I gotta get out of here and bleed onto something

You're welcome for the continued lack of context, out of pocket eppy quotes.

It isn't often that a meme works it's way into everyday vernacular, but once in a while, when all the stars align, iconic phenomena such as The Florida Man becomes a universally known marvel. Without any context at all, you've already created an image in your head and it is an unhinged one at that. We've found some top tier Florida Man/Woman stories that are sure to reinforce that picture you've just created and as a bonus, we threw in some additional holiday hoopla from states outside of Florida, because let's be so ffr...America is just one big Florida.

Something has changed within us, something is not the same…that’s right. We’re not regular ladies anymore, we’re wicked women. Somehow we remained completely oblivious to the storyline of the musical for the entire 30 years of its existence and now, much like everyone else who has entered the universe of Oz, it is now our entire personality. Hangout while we deep dive into the history of one of the most beloved broadway musicals of all time. Beware, spoilers are somewhat included, however, this story has been out for longer than we’ve been alive soooo….

If there's one thing millenials love doing, it's adding the word *functional* in front of scary words to make them less harsh. This week we're prepping for the inevitable marathon panic attack also known as the holiday season by learning about a cute little trauma response that we may or may not have adopted after years and years of being forced to work while experiencing global agony. I don't think this is what Darwin meant when he studied survival. The bar for the "fittest" is looking pretty low and pretty frozen these days.

It's a listener story schmergusbourg. I think I spell it differently every time I include it in a description. You know the drill, people send in their poop, scandal, ghost stories and we interrupt them constantly with arguably unimportant anecdotes of our own.

Since we have 4 more years of yelling into the abyss, we're assuming you won't mind if we go ahead and take the first 30 minutes to do a mental health check in before diving into an incredibly thorough DYSBT google doc. As much as we want to be all peepee, poopoo, hehe, haha- as people, we're not ready yet and we know some of you aren't yet either. So let's sit in those feelings for just a little bit and then let's listen to the out of context quotes that somehow didn't cancel us before today. Shoutout to our listener M (I actually don't know if I can share your name so lmk and I'll update it lol) for procrastinating on their paper and allowing us to rot for today's episode.

Regardless of when you listen, the day this episode goes live is election day and it isn't just any election day. Today is a day that could go down in history as the first time that the United States of America elect a woman into its highest office in the land. As we know, she isn't the first woman to run for president, but I think what might shock some of us is learning exactly when the first female was nominated to run for President of the United states. Would your shock reach new levels to know that it was during a time when she couldn't even vote herself? We're sharing the incredible herstory of Victoria Woodhull, the first female to run for president of the united states in the 1850's. You read that right - almost 200 years ago and we're still out here wait for that first Madam. Whether it is made today or another 200 years from now, history is happening and it is SO important to make your voice known. Make a plan and get out and VOTE!

On this exact day, 5 years ago, we nervously hit launch on an episode titled "Oh yeah, Martha? You're a freaking witch - The Salem Witch Trials," and our lives were changed forever. We always said that we would continue the podcast as long as it brought us joy, but we certainly didn't know just how much joy it would bring us. For half a decade, this hobby turned job turned passion has brought us across the country in front of thousands of our friends. It was given us opportunities to see and do things that we couldn't have ever even dreamed possible. We're forever grateful to the two nervous ladies who sat in their comfy pants one fall evening and hit record. We're grateful they hit upload and that they continued to show up week after week for themselves and now for you. You guessed it- those ladies were us. Now those ladies are struggling to continue talking in the third person, so to close out, we want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for the most incredibly fulfilling life. Thank you for the encouragement and the support, the grace and the love. Thank you for the friendship with and without interaction. As much as this is an opportunity to celebrate how far we've come, we hope you all will take moment to reflect on your own journey. Celebrate the growth and changes that you've made. Celebrate the parts of you that got you here as much as the parts you put to rest along the way. We're so proud of you. This anniversary is as much for you as it is for us, CHEERS TO 5 YEARS!

Playlist of the Dead: An All-Star Halloween Special

Six Strangers. One Cursed Playlist. Ultimate Power—or Certain Death.

Drawn by a mysterious letter promising the power to control an army of the dead, six strangers arrive at a hidden location with a single task: survive a binge-listening session unlike any other. Their key to unlocking this dark magic? The Necronomicon iPod, a macabre piece of technology loaded with a supernatural podcast playlist.

Meet the crew: a die-hard podcast fan, a cat dad with a quirky side, a skeptical ghost hunter, a spiritual healer, an unreliable flake, and a professional entertainer with a flair for the dramatic. Together, they must endure each eerie episode—but as secrets are revealed and tensions rise, not everyone is guaranteed to make it out alive.

This one-of-a-kind horror-comedy event features exclusive segments from fan-favorite podcasts: And That's Why We Drink, Two Girls One Ghost, Creeps and Crimes, Ladies & Tangents, and Live, Laugh, Larceny.

Will they unlock the power of the undead—or will the cursed playlist claim their souls first? Tune in to this all-star podcast holiday event for a supernatural audio adventure like no other!
