Wine, Weed, Weird!

Join Emily and Ky as they express bafflement and try to understand what happened with their viewing of Jeckyll and Hyde. We know now, of course, that it was the Pretend Spirit. They also consider how Jeckyll and Hyde compares to other stories about the darker side of human nature, such as The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and The Purge, with special consultant, Teddy! Is it about drugs? Is it about purity culture? Is it ok to have sex in this moral universe, or not? We may never know. Donate $10 if you want us to re-do the watch along!

It's the Moooooooost spooOOOOOky of the year! When Emily and Ky watch a silent horror movie, and gab the whole time for your enjoyment! This year we had an accidental, super special unwanted guest: The Pretend Spirit! But that's ok! There's options! Join Emily and Ky for youthful idealism, and the consequences of just not like, fucking. There's probably a moral here, but we don't really get there until next week.

God bless Granddaddy Wiz, and never forget that anything can happen on Halloween. We are gathered here today to celebrate the gift of the life of Tim Curry. By covering a movie he was in. A delightful dark house murder mystery comedy called, Clue! Not the clue. If any listener would like to report whether Emily picked up putting "the" in front of things that don't have "the" in front of them from Ky, or if Ky picked it up from Emily, that would be great. In the meantime, enjoy funny murders, strange choices in murder weapons, and the example of the word "No" in the English language.

Happy Spooky Season to all who celebrate! If you remember Bunnicula as a charming tale about accepting those who are different than you instead of assuming differences are dangerous (obvs queer-coded), then I am so sorry, this tv adaption is...less about that. But at least it is about how material hardships will push people to a tribalist, anti-outsider state, so it's pro-leftist politics after all! Join Emily and special guest co-host Teddy for this hot take, and more! Does Bunnicula sound more like Clavicular than Dracula? (Yes) And what's with that guy, anyway? (Homosocial patriarchal shit) Are wolves breaking into the plant to commit OSHA violations? (I shit you not, this is a plot point.) Emily shares her bridge too far, and Teddy offers shared cultural experiences with Marcelo Hernandez, then they both agree that letting veggies sit and rot all week is a criminal offense. Lets just focus on the fact that it's ok that the little rabbit eats veggies a little differently than most, because he's not hurting anybody! It's totally queer-coded.

How do you handle issues of consent and bodily autonomy when trying to help severely mentally ill people? Do you do m&m's? Does everyone know about Dolly Parton's acrylics? 9-5 keeps bringing up the important issues this week as Emily and Ky consider a film makes them look cool, calm, and collected.

Happy 9/25, officially Dolly Parton Day in NYC! Of course, Emily and Ky are celebrating this week (and next week) with an exploration of the equal parts campy and woke classic, 9 to 5! Do they remember the names of the characters? Do they get very far into the plot? Have you listened to this show before? The important thing is, you can always bring an uber coffee to this interview!

We're back with another Wine, Weed, Weird Historical Figure! John C Lilly was a big old nerd, whose scientific inquiry led to inventions we still use today, and some fascinating questions. He also fell into a K hole in his later life, and predicted the downfall of humanity due to AI. And you can't forget about the dolphins, bro! Dive in along with Ky as Emily explains, with medium attention to the timeline or research, the fascinating science of John C Lilly. Along the way, they explore the ethics of animal sex! Get ready for exploiting whales!

Is sex like the limbo? Is it worse than falling off a cliff? Is it a good thing to sing with your dad about? Is abortion like suicide? Can't you just like, pull someone out of a car without magical powers? Can't women just want to have sex?? Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, and no, according to this incredibly unhinged abstinence-only PSA. Join Emily and Ky for a time traveling adventure featuring an unforgettable dance number, numerous creepy men, a cheap bottle of champagne, and a message that makes even less sense once you take Jesus out of it. We're all just out of our wrappers and rolling in the dirt!

Emily and Ky have many concerns about this hotel. They wouldn't stay in a hotel specifically for only short girls, for example. They would also ask for another room immediatly if placed in one that featured a glory hole...and once they looked through the hole (shut up, you would, too!) and discovered they were non-consensually involved in aother guest's kink, they for sure would have been out of there. But maybe if you're a champion boxing fly you don't worry about those sorts of things? Anyway, of course it was the wife who saved the day. Stay tuned for chipmunk voices, and discussions of systemic racism!

Jimminy Cricket is back along with his new alter ego, Jiminy Cracket, to tell us not to leave anything plugged in your room for two minutes or your house will burn down, but nothing whatsoever about eating batteries in a PSA that contains sound advice for historical buffoon Benjamin Franklin, and maybe undersells the danger of mixing water and electricity just a bit. Emily and Ky have a lot of electricity stories to share from childhood fears, to really old fuse boxes, to a the chaos that a lack of electricity causes, and of course, robot massages! Listen, I cut out a full 20 minutes of additional unrelated stories. You'll get em eventually, don't stress. But do lick a nine volt battery and tell us about it!
