We learn that Byron corrects the phone sales gal's pronunciation & she talked for 45 minutes to a credit card salesman from Dublin. Who would have guessed that she liked talking on the phone so much? lol...
Alicia has decided that somebody will be offended at everything they say. Byron declares she's at that age...

The gals made it through the busy Samhain season and are on a roll. They move quickly from one thing to another. Politics, tarot readings, psychology, you name it. Lots of crows in this episode. which should tell yall they're feeling pretty good...
Alicia asks the question--have you ever met a single person who was not addicted to either sugar or caffeine?
There's are a couple of warnings for our listeners--not too many though.

The gals are recovering from what has (arguably) been one of the most intensely challenging Samhain seasons yet. They're both ready for some downtime as their thoughts turn to the coming days of winter in Western North Carolina. There's still alot to do, but the old traditions are calling..
Alicia talks about her new mast cell discoveries & offers a tip for those who may be looking for a Doctor to help them with their own mast cell diagnosis/treatment. She reports on the new goings on with The Current Residents band (it's all good)!
We find out Byron has cold feet how she deals with it. They go on to talk some more about Samhain. They didnt have the energy to talk about Asheville, but we do hear a little about Byron's card reading. A few more quick stories & then it's on to confession time!
They've got plans for 2023....

The gals have a good chat about the upcoming holiday season & what exactly it means to them.
Byron declares her love of Imbolc. Alicia decides her favorite is Samhain--"because the older I get the closer I get!"
They speak a littel bit about dreams, Byron's recent trip to the liquor store, which leads to speculationn about the two of them doing a live broadcast. Alicia reports on a trip to the Circle K, declaring it a "wonderland".
We put in a few vintage clips - hope you enjoy!

Byron and Alicia discussed their recent beach trip to East Beach, where they enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and seafood meals. However, they faced some challenges while camping in Florida due to weather conditions and wildlife. They also shared their experiences from a recent festival and their reluctance to camp again. The pair also discussed exploring content creation on Tiktok, despite concerns over data handling and time management. They ended the meeting with plans to create video content around local ghost stories for Halloween.***
*** Does the description above seem a little "off" to you? Just a little too conventional for those Wyrd Gals? You're right! Good job! This is an (unasked for) description of our show by AI! Yep, it's ubiquitous now...
So you'll just have to tune in to get the real show.

They may sit down & do stand up comedy soon, what do yall think?
Byron is thinking about going deeper into the world of "digital stuff". Alicia gives her the standard warning.

Alicia is griping about the gravel size at the State Fair. Byron's been earwormed by redneck "jack-assery" on the radio. Alicia admits to being taken by Oliver Anthony. We hear a little about Byron's trip to Lebanon (Tennessee). She's jazzed up...

Byron & Alicia are chatting away on the porch on a beautiful October afternoon. Talk turns to milk trucks & milk you had to shake. They decide fat free half n half is ethically & morally wrong. Then the butterwagon shows up & right off the bat Alicia wonders if she's getting ready to die...
Their minds have moved over to seasonal things & they talk about it for a bit...you know, death & the like. The porch is bright & comfy as the talk flows.
We hope you enjoy this episode. :-) It's a little over an hour because it was so dang pretty outside they didn't want to stop!
