Yeah, That Happened

Who you gonna call? Probably not us. This week we're ushering in the most wonderful time of the year with a couple of ghost stories. We definitely accuse (probably falsely) someone of murder while Joyce talks about the many wives of William Haymond and how many of them are still hanging around at the super scary Haymond House in Sutton West Virginia. Also, Joyce is definitely going to be a paranormal investigator. Then we ask the age old question of "Can demons be cherubic?" while Nikki retells the story of the Sallie House in Atchison Kansas.

Get cozy, sip on some pumpkin spice, and get spooky with us. 

This week we check in on Nikkis roof and Joyce's mental health - either of which could be blown over at any moment.  Also, our truly terrible accents are back!

We're discussing why is France? And Joyce gets necromagous while telling us some of the more interesting parts of French rules about marrying someone who has already died. Which is a thing? 

Then Nikki tells us about L'inconnue de la seine, the woman who would eventually go on to be immortalised as rescusi-annie. 

Get your applause signs lit up and head down to the morgue for this one...

Milk, milk, lemonade, in the back scams are made. We've finally figured out technology and are back with a fan picked episode!!! Joyce is unwholesome in her rage about Urine Therapy. Maybe set the coffee down for this one? Then put your goat in the backyard while Nikki tell us about (not a) Doctor John Brinkley and his Glandular Therapy. We'll be discussing the importance of parental me time, ensuring you always finish your drink while it's warm, and early viral marketing tactics. 

Boil Boil Toil And Trouble, that's right - it's Witchy Woman time! Join us for Joyce's last night in New Zealand where we get the witchiest we possibly can. Nikki reads some cards and tells Joyce her future and then we talk about Lady Glamis, who absolutely was not a witch. Very auspicious. 

Another mornins morning all around! We have a plethora of ways to expire in store for you today. We're talking unusual deaths throughout history. Joyce brings us a tale of hot pokers and falling turtles. Nikki tells us about the Rasputin of the Bronx, Mike Malloy. A man who just wouldn't die, despite everyone's best efforts. Including her worst Irish accent. You've been warned.

AND there's a spooky update on Front Room Phil, who does not understand personal boundaries!

Grab your coffee, or your martini - we're back (after a little break for the plague and technology breaking) to bring you a chat about the ladies we don't get to hear about in history class. Women in warfare. Joyce channels the 300 and talks about Artemisia of Halicarnassus, who still ended up having to look after kids. And Nikki talks about Nany of the Maroons, a Jamaican folk hero we should all know about. 

Maybe don't get on the boat. At least not without checking to see if someone has predicted  that boat sinking. Because sometimes art imitates life a little too closely and life says "hold my beer" This week Joyce tells us about how the Titanic disaster was *definitely* predicted in a book years before it happened. Nikki is also nautical and booksy with the tragic tale of Richard Parker aboard the Mignonette. He really should have googled himself. Also, we definitely (don't) understand and figured out how to calculate nautical miles.

Happy whatever you celebrate (or don't) this time of year! We're just as surprised as you are that there's a Christmas bonus episode. We're talking Charles Dickens today. Joyce is vaguely describing a Dickensian Christmas meal.... if it were done in the 70's with jelly and some super gross fondue choices. Meanwhile Nikki is talking about the man who most likely inspired Ebenezer Scrooge, John Elwes. A man so notorious for his penny pinching ways that  Scrooge himself would have felt intimidated.

Happy Holidays Fadoodlers! Ever think there could be more inventive ways of coercing good behaviour out of your children? Or getting them to do their chores? Well, have we got the lore for you. This week we're diving into some Christmas lore. Joyce gives us the low down on Gryla and the Yule Lads and Nikki takes it a step further by telling us about the Yule Cat, or Jolakotturinn. Iceland is getting a lot of love from us, and a lot of mispronounced words. 

Buckle up for 8746 reasons to mistrust your history teachers. Joyce tells us how Catherine the Great was not a witch or a nympho bitch. And Nikki rages about colonialism while telling us about what a turd Christopher Columbus was and why  we should be celebrating anyone but him. Polish your dick cupboard and give your vehicle a nickname, fadoodlers.
