You Ain't a'Woofin - History, Mystery, Crime, and Astrology episodes

  • 50: Don Pedro Gilbert - the Last Atlantic Pirate Attack & 1832 Zodiac Back

    On today’s episode, Valerie tells the wild story of the Pirate Don Pedro Gilbert and his Baltimore Clipper, the Panda, who terrorized the Southern Florida coast in the early 1800s. In 1832, when he and his crew diverted from their standard piratical M.O., it would be a move that cost them their lives - well, most of them anyway. Next, Amy Jo’s Zodiac back presents an overview of the Planetary Bodies, recent Astrology headlines and the upcoming Mars Retrograde. We continue our exploration of the zodiac signs with Leo, we talk Herschel Happenings (Yes! The Herschels are back!), and the fascinating fate of Biela’s Comet, that’s no longer a comet, but still very, very cool.

  • 49: The 1832 Timeline Twist & The Murder of Polly Buttons

    On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1832 Timeline Twist features a re-elected president who threatened military action against a US state to enforce tariffs (yes, in 1832), a distillery in the Whiskey Capitol of the World, an accidental famous Viennese culinary specialty, and one of the most 1800’s Acts ever passed as a direct reaction to body snatchers. Next, Amy Jo presents the atrocious murder of Polly Buttons, a young, skilled button worker, unlucky in love, and struggling to care for her five children. In a story all too familiar, she was betrayed by her love (and his jealous wife?), her life unceremoniously cut short, and her plight immortalized in a nursery rhyme that is CREEPY AF!

  • 48: Tiger Woman: The Showgirl Murderess & the 1922 Zodiac Back

    On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of Clara Phillips, a young bathing costume model and showgirl turned jealous murderess, who in a fit of passion, attacked her perceived rival so brutally it appeared as if she’d been mauled by a tiger - that is if tigers were able to roll boulders. In the 1922 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers outer planet significations and how the 1922 solar eclipse proved Einstein correct! We discuss America’s favorite narcissist (apparently). Umm, FIVE stars named for him? Lastly, she covers the standardization of constellations, the sign of Cancer, and the upcoming transits in our Moon Moment.

  • 47: 1922 Timeline Twist & The Straw Hat Riots

    On today’s episode, Valerie features communism, fascism, and disasters up top, we remember our Jungle Juice days, consider the origins of the Sidecar cocktail and Girl Scout cookies, discuss art movements as a reaction to living through history, tap into 1922 opinions on Jazz, and finally, cover the Top 5 Hillbilly (Country) Chart hits where one artist DOMINATED the list. Next, Amy Jo presents the story of the Straw Hat Riots. Tis’ a tale of toxic masculinity gone awry, featuring the fashionable boater hat (it was good enough for Coco Channel!), and BOTH kinds of Hat Days! Amy Jo introduces how the hat industry could have encouraged the behavior, and highlights the point where good old-fashioned hat destruction by “youthful marauders” turned into a “straw hat smashing orgy” and became potentially dangerous.

  • 46: The “Brothers” Harpe: America’s First Serial Killers & the 1798 Zodiac Back

    On today’s episode, Valerie covers the infamous Harpe brother/cousins. Widely considered America’s first serial killers, we follow their early years and eventual killing spree, leaving scores of bodies in their wake in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois. Rare was the traveler who met them on the trail and lived, be it a man, woman, child, or yes, even babies. Next, Amy Jo presents the astrology of 1798, we discuss the upcoming November 19th ingress of Pluto into Aquarius for the next 20 years, and we review the historic events that occurred from previous transits, like 1777-1798. We introduce the sign of Gemini and examine the Uranus return of the US, and what Uranus in Gemini can bring about. Lastly, we prepare for the upcoming full moon in Taurus during the Moon Moment.

  • 45: 1798 Timeline Twist & The Spittin’ Lyon

    On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1798 Timeline Twist presents a hunk of French Warcake (with some Irish rebellion frosting), a QVC worthy “1798 Ink Collection” with shimmering flecks of silver for an elegant finish, we take a peek at some “Summer of ‘98” fashion influencers, enjoy some gothic fine arts, and uncover some racy new words of the year. Next, Amy Jo covers The Spittin’ Lyon, a truly self-made immigrant son of Ireland, who during his military service was “Cashiered for Cowardice”, but worked his way up to the US House of Representatives, got into a famous altercation on the house floor, and was then thrown in the slammer for violation of the Sedition Act of 1798 due to his publication which, in our opinion, was the best newspaper title of all time.

  • 44: The Van Winkle Murders of Goffle Road & the 1850 Zodiac Back

    On today’s episode, Valerie covers the story of the first murder (and execution) in Passaic County, New Jersey. Valerie relays how the gruesome crime against prominent couple, Judge John S. Van Winkle and his wife Jane Van Winkle, was solved surprisingly quickly thanks to Mother Nature and some super sleuthing neighbors, 1800s style. Next in Amy Jo’s 1850 Zodiac Back, we talk about 1850’s heavy Aries energy, including Uranus Pluto conjunctions, and the rugged archetype of the Pluto in Aries generation. Continuing our exploration of the signs of the Zodiac, we take a closer look at Taurus, and wrap up with a moon moment on the upcoming Scorpio new moon.

  • 43: 1850 Timeline Twist & The Great Republic of Rough & Ready

    On today’s episode, Valerie’s 1850 Timeline Twist features a glimpse of the 1850 Compromise, traditional songs which MAY have come out in 1850, a questionable hominy dish, cookies with mace (stir with your taser), an ad for starving artist painted window shades, a master of seascape paintings, and Victorian gentlemen’s fashion. Next, Amy Jo tells the hilarious story of the brief secession of the Republic of Rough and Ready, California; a group who struck gold immediately but disagreed w/ the taxation, they were quick to sign a new constitution, but REALLY didn’t think things through. We discover other secession movements of the past and present and the ridiculous but relatable reason Rough & Ready changed their minds.

  • 42: The Great Boston Brinks Robbery & the 1950 Zodiac Back

    On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of an 11 man Boston underworld crew who nearly pulled off “the perfect crime”, also dubbed “the crime of the century” (but we think they might’ve been jumping the gun on both). The heist, which took place on a cold January night in 1950 was meticulously and obsessively planned by Anthony “Fats” Pino, and it almost worked out. Almost. Next, Amy Jo starts Season 2’s walk through the Zodiac signs, starting with all things Aries. We reflect on understanding and communicating with other people through astrology, which can be tiring - or is it a virus? The Zodiac Back concludes by considering our current sky, including the Aries full moon, and previewing some significant astro events in Aries coming in 2025.

  • 41: 1950 Timeline Twist & the Killing Spree of 'Cockeyed' Billy Cook

    On today’s episode, Valerie covers some atomic action from a very irresponsible USA, salt mines and claustrophobia, Kraft Singles food product and its possible crossover with Bactine, the SECOND most dangerous toy of all time, and the story of a teenaged majorette who really didn’t like to share the spotlight, in the 1950 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo covers the toubling tale of a neglected young man and his quest to “live by the gun and roam”, which sent him on a vicious yet unsophisticated killing spree, leaving few who crossed his path alive but for one lucky potential victim. This all-too-familiar story inspired a famous 1971 Doors hit which was ultra-popular until the 1990s drove it into the ground.
