Wine, Weed, Weird! episodes
- She is Summoning a Cult (It’s about My Octopus Teacher)Emily and Ky love octopuses, because they are fucking weird, and cool as shit. If they could interview an octopus for the podcast, and I don’t mean like if an octopus could talk, I mean if they could get themselves in the presence of an octopus with sufficient service or WiFi to record, and talk to it and about it for an hour, they totally would. And that would probably be their most popular episode. But they can’t. So the next best thing is this episode about the surprisingly controversial Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher. You won’t want to miss Emily getting all fired riled about how much this guy sucks, or Ky hopping into her judging corner to introduce us to pterodactyl porn! Here’s the link to the article Emily kept referencing. Have fun! https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-39/reviews/my-octopus-girlfriend/ On a related note, do you, or does anyone you know work in an aquarium with an octopus in its collection? Send us a message!48 min
- No, it's Gonna be Fine, Come on! (it's about our Murder Mystery Party)We're back! Did you miss us? Of course you did! So we've got a real treat for you: did you know that murder mystery parties are a thing? You could have one literally anytime! How does one throw a murder mystery party? How much does it cost? How much work is it?? Well, lets just say, it's a lot like starting a podcast...so of course Emily and Ky have been there, done that, and got the stories! And of course, it wasn't enough to just find a random free script and invite all their friends. They also had to take over a random G train for a few hours! So, was it weird? What do you think? Get ready for an extra dose of giggling as they discuss the Lord, the Peasant, and the little engine...that could kill!39 min
- We Are Not Casting their Natal Charts (It’s about Sponge-Bob SquarepantsDive back under the sea with Emily and Ky as they continue their coverage of two more episodes of Sponge-Bob, and explore important character dynamics. What is the dichotomy between Sponge-Bob and Squidward? Is Plankton an Aquarius? What laws govern bodily fluids in the sponge universe? Is every villain lemons?? You won’t want to miss the cat cameos, or the Sponge-Bob swears discourse! Get it in your ear holes!43 min
- Ask and Ye Shall Receive (It’s about Sponge-bob Squarepants
Emily and Ky are back in person to report on this seminal work, the man, the myth, the sponge: Sponge-Bob Squarepants! And they don't have to tell you, it's weird! What laws govern the sponge universe? Was Sponge-Bob adopted? Was Glove World...really supposed to be Glove World? What does all this have to do with Emily's hygiene habits in the shower? This special episode features zero fact-checks, but a bunch of stuff that Emily and Ky heard somewhere that may or may not be true! You won't want to miss Emily and Ky talking about (and to) Ky's cat Captain! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? You do, mother fucker!
43 min - Chaos, and Tranquility (it's about "My Pal Foot Foot")
It's been a while since Emily and Ky discussed a song, and this one's a DOOZIE! Are the Shaggs an all-female proto-punk rock band who needs to be on your radar...or just some unfortunate teens under duress who cannot wheel time signatures? Can they be both? Was this song written specifically so a couple of inebriated weirdos could emphatically discuss it fifty years later? Is this band composed of sea-dwellers? What kind of a name is Foot Foot?? There's a lot to cover. You're welcome.
43 min - If you can be Laying Down, Why Aren't You? (it's about Motivational Speakers)
Buckle up! Emily and Ky are delving deep into their personal history (and revealing more details for your string-and-pin boards in your basement) to share with you the weirdest school assembly speakers they can remember! You won't want to miss Ky's musical stylings, Emily's high school accidentally teaching her being drunk is fun, or their tips for having fun drug-free fun in a small town! Do they spend the first ten minutes just talking about trying to be normal humans again after lock down? Absolutely! Tune in for your weekly helping of Mona Lisa sewage!
49 min - There’s No Chill in a House Fire (it’s about Disney’s 1965 Fire Safety PSA Featuring Donald Duck)Join Emily and Ky as they discuss a weird video about a sobering topic while of course, not being sober. Is Walt Disney’s head cryogenically frozen? Do Huey, Dewey, and Louie take turns sleeping in the middle? How high of a window could you drop your cat out of in an emergency, and would putting them in a laundry hamper first help? Just kidding, Emily and Ky have better fire safety plans now, and so should you! Don’t ask your grandkids for fire safety help; ask your fire department maybe? And then tweet your plans @WineWeedWeird! Also photos of your front yard lampposts!46 min
- Pretty Good, Huh? (it’s about Bully Smart)
Put up your snake arm! It’s never too late to learn how to handle bullies (and/or gang members??), but it’s definitely too late for those pleated front pants…or maybe not? Emily’s girlfriend has a pair! And when you're recording in the past, can you ever know which episodes have the least listens?? As usual, we’ve got more questions than answers. Put some candy in your pocket, grab a magazine, and come along as Emily and Ky learn how to be street smart! Bully Smart is wildly weird, but maybe not as weird as school...or men!
39 min - Lisa Frank Sewage (it's about Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue)We're back for part 2 of our first two-parter about the non-stop wild ride that is Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue! Which is also our 10th episode!!! When we left off, we were discussing crack pipes, and Bugs Bunny impersonating an officer, and shit only gets weirder from there. You won't want to miss the criminally negligent ninja turtle, brain roller coaster, or Cora losing all her toys and room decor in one fell swoop! This anti-drug propaganda is pretty absurd, hilarious, and insulting to all our intelligence, but that doesn't mean drugs never cause any problems. If you want to change your relationship to a drug, and are struggling to, it's ok! Talk to someone you trust, and ultimately, consult a medical professional with experience in addiction. There are lots of great options out there to help you live a healthier, happier life.37 min
- Punk's Not Dead (it's about Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue)Buckle up! It's part one of our first ever two-parter! OF COURSE we have a lot to say about this president-approved, corporation-cooperation fueled anti-drug propaganda piece from the late '80's/early '90's! Like, how very punk we are, and how Frosty the Snowman is probably about crack!This shit is wildly hilarious, but also we have to talk about how much fucking money went into teaching everyone that drugs are evil incarnate, and how that allowed the state to get away with locking up (mostly black and brown and/or poor) people for non-violent crimes for DECADES. The war on drugs did SO much harm, and propaganda pieces like this video were a huge part of it. Fuck that, and fuck Bush Sr, and his wife (who may or may not be named Barbara). Laugh your ass off with us, but afterward, make sure you're fighting for the end of prohibition, prison reform, police abolition, and reparations. Here's a link for you to learn more from smarter people than us: https://drugpolicy.org/issues/mass-criminalizationAlso, for fucks sake, go get vaccinated! What are you even doing???32 min
