This week on Sip, Spill & Solve, Kiki and Jeannie head to Georgetown, D.C. to climb one of the most famous—and haunted—staircases in movie history: The Exorcist Steps.

Built in 1895 and made infamous by the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist, these steep, shadowy stairs have seen more than just cinematic screams. Locals whisper about eerie chills, phantom footsteps, and the feeling of being watched—long after the cameras stopped rolling.

The girls sip a bold, blood-red Cabernet while spilling fun film trivia, spooky lore, and a few personal confessions about fear, faith, and fall cardio gone wrong.

The One With Slag Pile Annie

Sip, Spill & Solve – Episode 18

Grab your glass and your ghost stories — we’re heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home of steel, smoke, and one legendary spirit who never clocked out: Slag Pile Annie.

According to mill lore, Annie was a tough-as-nails worker who met her end deep in the tunnels beneath the Jones & Laughlin Steel Works. Decades later, steelworkers swore she still showed up for her shift — same coveralls, same red bandanna — whispering,

This week, Kiki and Jeannie sip their newest autumn cocktail, the Golden Harvest Fizz — a cozy mix of apple cider, caramel vodka, and ginger ale with sliced apples on top — while unraveling the haunting legend that fuses Pittsburgh grit with ghostly lore.

Episode 14 Description

It’s Cocktail Confessions time, and this week we’re pouring the Royal Apple — crisp, cozy, and just dangerous enough to make you spill your secrets. 👑🍎

Then we dive into two stories that prove bad notes never end well:

🧻 Dumb Criminals: Meet the Toilet Paper Boyfriend — a North Carolina man who thought TP-ing his ex’s house and leaving a threatening note was a good idea. (Spoiler: it wasn’t. Police were not impressed.)

👁️ Uncorked Mysteries: We open up the chilling case of The Watcher — the New Jersey family who bought their dream home, only to start receiving anonymous, terrifying letters from someone who claimed to be watching their every move.

We’re not your normal sleuths — we’re two girlfriends, sipping cocktails, giggling way too loud, and absolutely unqualified to be doing this. But that’s kind of the fun.

🎧 Pour a Royal Apple, press play, and remember: Stay suspicious… and don’t get Burg-e-ler’d.

Pour yourself a cocktail (we sure did 🍹) and join us as we kick off this week’s episode with one of the dumbest criminals of all time — the infamous Lemon Juice Burglar. This guy really believed that rubbing lemon juice on his face would make him invisible to security cameras. Spoiler: it didn’t.

After we stop giggling (well… mostly), we pivot into the chilling case of Maura Murray’s disappearance (Part 1) — one of the most infamous and unsettling mysteries in true crime.

We’re not your average true crime sleuths. We’re two girlfriends, sipping cocktails, laughing too loud, and totally unqualified to be doing this — but that’s exactly what makes it fun.

So grab your drink, settle in, and remember: stay tipsy, and don’t get burg-e-ler’d.

This week, Jeannie’s sweet tooth strikes again — in wine form — and I’m still trying to nudge her toward the deep, dry side of the vineyard.

But it’s not just wine we’re uncorking. We’ve got a burglar dressed in clown pants, a blonde wig, and fake boobs (yes, really), proving that some disguises are unforgettable… even when the crimes themselves fade from memory.

Then we shift gears into the haunting disappearance of Jesse Farber, a case that’s as cold as it is heartbreaking. We follow the trail — or what’s left of it — and dig into the lingering questions that keep this mystery alive.

Grab your glass, settle in, and prepare for a wild ride from absurd comedy to chilling true crime.

🍷 Wine, Whine & WTH kicks off this week’s episode with one of the most ridiculous crimes we’ve ever covered:
A group of thieves breaks in, finds an urn… and decides to snort what they think is cocaine. Spoiler: it wasn’t. It was grandma. 😬

Then we shift from jaw-dropping to chilling as we unpack the unsolved elements of the Wolf Creek Murders—a case involving two victims, one man sentenced without a confession, and a suicide that left even more questions.

Two wildly different crimes. One very suspicious bottle of wine. And your favorite unqualified duo doing what we do best: spiraling with sass.
