Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

We weren't in town long enough to record a whole episode, so this week we're giving you delightful miscellany! Tids and bits snipped from various conversations that add up to forty jam-packed minutes!

A wandering discussion about a new anime cafe in San Antonio becomes a walk down memory lane peppered with people we've nicknamed and obsessed over. Pitney's obsession with a guy who makes Skyrim videos and pronounces words oddly. Amelia's disappointment in Sonic's failed jalapeno chocolate shake and Pitney's fascination with their new pickle slushie. And then Pitney got picked up by a hottie at Target!

If you could meet five people you admire from the past, people who are dead, who would they be? Pitney was tasked with this exercise and it stumped him. We thought of all sorts of dead folks we would want to meet and what we would talk to them about. But mostly we talked about what dead people we'd like to have as guests on our show!

For example, did you know your grandfathers? Pitney and Amelia didn't know theirs. One was a really interesting dude who has some 'splainin to do about minstrel shows!

What was much easier was to come up with fictional characters we would want to hang out with. After all, who wouldn't want to hitchhike the galaxy with Ford Prefect?

And finally, human nature. Are we good or are we bad? The answer might surprise and depress you.

How dare people think they have the right to judge us!

Seriously, though, Amelia had two really gross encounters with waitstaff at Applebee's where they treated her as a "fat customer" instead of a "customer," much to Pitney's surprise. She talks about how she often gets treated horribly for daring to exist in public as a fat person, and how fat people, women in particular, get misdiagnosed by awful doctors who see the fat and assume it's the cause of every malady. Then Pitney talks about a couple times when he was treated badly by waitresses and he rained terror upon their establishments! (Not really. He just got somebody fired.)

Finally, Pitney shares a story about this year's Pride service at his Unitarian Universalist (UU) church, and how much he loves the opportunity going to church gives him to learn that his assumptions about people are often incorrect.

But will we stop judging people? Surely you jest!

This week, Pitney and Amelia talk about some of their past relationships, particularly the moment they knew it was OVER. Sometimes it sneaks up on you, and sometimes it hits you like a ton of bricks, but that moment comes when the relationship just can't go on any longer.

And sometimes the relationship shouldn't even happen to begin with. There are an awful lot of rom-coms where the guy and girl hate each other in the beginning and get married at the end. What a dumb message to send to people. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, LISTEN TO US!

And in the middle of it all is a reference to an old "Worst Person in the World" story. To hear it in full, be sure to check out The Mafia? Fuhgeddaboudit!

Have you seen Wild Wild Country on Netflix? It's a documentary about the hubbub surrounding the commune of the followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (now known as Osho) in Oregon. Everybody's talking about it, including us!

Amelia hasn't watched the series yet, so Pitney told her all about the events that happened back then, and how many parallels there are with the way things are now. Hate, intolerance, anger, discrimination, violence. None of that has gone away.

And in the middle of it all, a palate cleanser about how Tricia Von Liechtenstein feels about high efficiency washer and dryers. (It's not positive.)

It's our SECOND ANNIVERSARY! Time really flies, doesn't it?

This year, instead of doing a clip show, we decided to give you a semi-normal, but still kinda special episode to celebrate the end of our second year. Am I hyping it too much? Probably.

First, Pitney tells us how frustrated he is with how Kerrville Land Rush will be handled this year, and how fun it is to hang out around a bunch of parked cars in 95 degree weather for a day and a half. Amelia doesn't understand it.

Then we answer a handful of questions from The Ungame, a very hippy-dippy, no-losers sort of boardgame from the 70s. And because it's us, it alternates between silly and serious pretty quickly. And there's a lot of talk of cock. (Don't knock the cock talk.)

And just when you think it's over, we announce the winner of our Do You Love Me contest! Be sure to check our website, Twitter, or Facebook group to see photos!

This is a tough one, but we promise it's worth it.

We didn't go to Texas Frightmare Weekend this year, so you know we had to have really good reasons. Oh boy did we.

Pitney's reason is kind of hilarious. Itchy, but hilarious. Amelia's reason is terribly sad. And even though she was only barely ready to talk about it, she wanted you to know what's going on with her, because this show is nothing if not real as hell.

(Warning: the old mic was in bad shape and we didn't realize it, resulting in some un-edit-out-able clipping. It only happens a few times. It's awful. We apologize.)

This week, Pitney and Amelia reminisce about the glory days of fanzines and a dear lady who wrote terrible poetry about TV characters she loved. What the most extreme "con people" think is funny versus what we think is funny. When you're nu and aspire to be tru. Verity Noslen never got enough food. The art of gardening and butterfly support for the chronically impatient and obsessive. Pitney is insanely pro-sugar. What a clueless nerd said he'd do with a million dollars.

(What do you think would happen if we put "true crime" in our show notes?)

This was our first time attending HavenCon http://www.havencontx.com, a LGBTQIA+ geek & gaming con in Austin, and it was so fabulous we have to talk about it!

Hear us gush about the con's inclusivity and diversity, the wonderful people we met, how much we love hanging out with furries and the fur-adjacent, the Grand Illusion drag pageant, the incredible cosplay, the fate of Pitney's Skyrim costume, the incredible hotel, and the delightful guests, including Daniel Newman, Tracee Cocco, Tracy Scoggins, and the folks from Bioware!

Plus, a brief and devious fantasy about what we'd do if we ran into the Worst Person in the World!
