September 20, 2024 Ep. 175: An Abacus for Weight: Changlings and the Fairy Wife Defense
Though it kicks off with a few ghost appearances (Gus?!), this week’s episode is more on the fairy side of the realm. Shannon discusses the case of Bridget Cleary and the supposed supernatural forces that took the “real” Bridget from her family during an illness. Discussion of disability, neurodivergence, and the reactions to those with either, both in the past and today, turns quickly into some disability book recs and a reminder to broaden your content horizons! Stay tuned at the end for how we became friends and remember WE’RE NOT MAD AT YOU!!

September 06, 2024 Ep. 174: The ADHD Episode: The Conjuring House
It’s spooOOoOOoooky season!! FINALLY! This week Emma jumps right in to the creepy spooky times to tell us all about the Conjuring House. Was a family actually haunted by the previous, long-dead owners of their home? Was it because time is a flat circle? Or was it all in their heads? We learn just how much money Shannon needs to convince her to watch a scary movie and that it wouldn’t matter how much Emma was paid, but she might do it for a Rice Krispie Treat.

August 24, 2024 Ep. 173: Rocky Martin: The Stanley Hotel
We may have changed up our schedule and wanted to change our names, but the chaos remains the same, with a couple kitty production assistants who are not very *demure*. This week Shannon fills us in on the kinda sweet history and spooky present of Colorado’s famous Stanley Hotel. The inspiration behind Steven King’s The Shining remains one of America’s most haunted locations, but is it all true? Stay to the end for some potato talk and feel free to take a drink every time Emma says “patada.”

August 03, 2024 Ep. 172: Word Salad: The Argent Star Heist
Hey Jim! And everyone else! This week Emma dives into one of Shannon’s favorite topics: a heist!! The Argent Star disappeared from its impenetrable case, never to be seen again. But is it as it seems? Is the Star disguised as 35 engagement rings? Or is it still in the hands of those it was supposedly stolen from? Come find out this and more, like if Elmo really will sue, if robots were involved, and if our purple ladies of leisure get to keep their purple rooms. Stay for a surprise at the end and a whole bunch of movie brainstorming!

July 19, 2024 Ep. 171: Aliens and Sue: Monoliths
Is that Father Time’s thumb or are you just happy to see us?! Why are there metal monoliths popping up all over the world? Whether the answer is art, aliens, or just a bit of fun, Shannon fills us in on the monoliths and their most recent appearances. We hope they mean something exciting, but maybe they’re just here so we had something to do during our unprecedented times to, you know, take our minds off it all. And if that weren’t enticing enough, join us for talk of dolphin legs, hatred of water, and thoughts on showers. Do you like damp?

July 05, 2024 Ep. 170: Debouchery: Bloody Mary
Ever tried to scare yourself into seeing a bloody screaming woman in the mirror? Well…we might have!! This week Emma tells the haunting legend of Bloody Mary and who she might be. Why is she in our mirrors at every sleepover? Why do we want to see her anyway? And was she so reprehensible in life that she’s been doomed to a death of scary servitude? Come find out this week if we are successful in our attempts to scare ourselves!

June 21, 2024 Ep. 169: The Doils: P. the Doll
We might not be able to say her name, but dang do we wanna talk about her! No one said we were finished with dolls, and this week Shannon steps up to the plate with one of the biggest baddies of them all: P.T.D. We turn into carnival barkers, learn that it's required to have 20/20 vision to be a ring master, and petition once again to have Zak Bagans on the judges panel for Ru Paul's Drag Race. It's a wonderful chaotic time over here. STEP RIGHT UP and join us!

We’re baaaack! And so are these children?! Kids say the creepiest things, and some kids have convinced the world that they are old souls, back for another round on earth. Could these kids be telling the truth? Or are they making it all up? Come join as we tackle the hard questions of reincarnation, cloning, crew socks versus ankle socks, and candy cigarette endorsement.
