We're continuing spooky season with some of your creepy kid stories! We did our best not to detour from the stories too much, but ultimately, we are who we are. Speaking of being who we are...we're also liars. You're not imagining things, this was supposed to be the mothman episode. Fear not! That one is coming next week! We promise! Not that it means anything since we're clearly unreliable and untrustworthy. So sorry. Hopefully the birth control this episode provides makes up for it. Consider this episode medicinal. (For legal reasons, this episode will not prevent children. It's content, not a contraceptive, what do we look like? Magicians? Scientists? Witches? Don't put that on us.)

You know those words that circulate society and you have no idea what it is, but you don't want to feel like an idiot so you nod along and pretend to know what's going on? That's us with the word Cryptids. We decided it was time to become enlightened and be able to add something meaningful to the conversation surrounding cryptozoology and connect with our inner pseudoscientist. Turns our we have nothing enlightening to say, but we potentially solved a 17th century murder and contributed to a musical.

Happy first episode of October! You know we had to start it off with a spooky spookster of an episode! In true L&T fashion, in an hour and 15 minutes of content, we share probably 1 and a half ghost stories but we like to still think the episode in its entirety will still bring you joy. Let's get in the holiday spirit with some actual spirits- both liquid and apparitional. Is that a goose pimp on your arm or are you just happy to see us?

TW- ED, Childhood Trauma 

It's Hispanic Heritage month and we asked our facebook group to give us some inspo about a topic where we could highlight and celebrate Hispanic history and culture. SO many requested The Chicano Movement. It is no surprise that we hadn't heard of it before and had essentially 0 frame of reference. This is us sharing what we learned with you! Please feel free to continue the conversation in the comments & share your favorite hispanic creators!

We're bringing this episode to you straight from the newly finished hole! Relax by the fireplace with us and be soothed by the sweet sounds of screaming cicadas and the air conditioner as we recap our trip to see Trixie & Katya and finish with a mental health check in. Contrary to a lot of our previous check-in's, we're doing surprisingly well thanks to more intensive therapy and a healthier work life balance. If 2020 Jeri & Ciara could see us now - SHOO. In this episode, Jeri does go into detail about her recent EMDR therapy session. She does not go into any explanation of any specific traumatic event but in case you are triggered by even vague descriptions of childhood trauma, skip the last part of this episode! She also wants to make sure that everyone knows that her experience with EMDR is unique to her and that despite regurgitating what was told to her by a professional, she still has an elementary level understanding. What happened in her session is not what happens in every session and everyone's experience will be personal to them. She also is having trouble continuing to type in the third person so she's wrapping it up here.

We're diving back into our mental health ish with this one. You ever use a word so frequently that you feel like you know what it means, but when prompted, you're like...."i feel like I know the gist, but now that you ask- idk sh*t about d*ck?" That perfectly describes our experience with the word *codependency.* Follow along as two absolute idiots discuss the words of an educated doctor and try to apply his science words into our own special way of understanding why codependency is almost always a big'ole maybe don't.

Who remembers that we had an AITAH submission form? Not me! But luckily after a bit of a whoopsie that resulted in a black eye and a mild concussion, Ciara showed up and saved the day with some of your entries! I don't know that we'll ever be able to call our listeners AHoles, so here is an episode of validation and "you're doing great, sweeties."

The second official installment of our new favorite series is finally here! This is sharing your Ho(rror) Stories 2.0! Per usual, you guys sent some absolute bangers in and for whatever reason, poop was a reoccurring theme. Not sure where in the world that came from...couldn't be one of our main character traits or anything.

CW- Childhood Trauma, Ab*se, Addiction This video is the equivalent of when a DJ says "we're going to slow it down for a couple songs" after playing dance bangers for 15 minutes straight. We're back in therapy so that means you're back in therapy and this week we discovered (the incredibly misleadingly named)- Magical Thinking. In short, the recipe for this sweet little coping skills reads as such: 1. childhood trauma 2. using irrational, mystical and unrealistic reasoning to describe current situations 3. hitting the big puberty and being unable to escape this kind of thinking 4. believing as an adult you can make debt collectors go away if you ignore the mail they keep sending. The first step to fixing the problem is acknowledging there is one. Consider this us saying "hiiiiiii" to the definite presence of this distorted cycle of thinking that we frequently carry in our day-to-day survival pack. I would also like to note that although we discuss the responsibility of caregiver to be a stable and healthy example for their child, we understand that adults suffering from mental health disorders, ab*se cycles, addiction, financial insecurity and need help themselves. This is in no way meant to shame those who fall into any of these categories or to shame anyone who may be listening that currently feel they are surviving through any of the above. This is meant to give information and validation to the inner children in those who relate. We always want to remember that two things can be true at the same time. You can understand why someone may have hurt you or put you in harmful situations, while also being frustrated that you had to withstand the trauma in the first place. Your feelings are valid. Your wounds are real and they deserve to be acknowledged and healed.

We asked you to send us your hot takes and we fished them out of a pancake bowl. These opinions are all over the place. I'm talking one second we're discussing bodily autonomy and the next we're talking mad smack about cake. This is an extra long episode because you know we love to give an opinion! Let us know your hot takes for potential future episodes or what your thoughts are on the ones we shared. Also if anyone could explain the one hot take that broke our brains, that would be super helpful. We love you, bye.
