Welcome to episode 257 where we deep dive into all of our hyper-fixations! Most importantly, for Xandy's last episode we have not one, but two lighthouse stories for you.

Happy New Year! It's episode 256 and we're not judging any vegans today but we certainly are judging anyone who loves candy corn as much as Xandy.

E255 Holiday Cryptid Friends and a Very Merry Christinemas Dec 26, 2021

Show notes

Christmastime is here... and so is the original cork-toothed pirate, the unhinged Shifter herself, CHRISTINE! What more perfect time to have an intermission in her parental leave than for the holidays. Don't worry, we sing both of our traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas songs to make up for lost time. Then Em covers the Dwight Schrute approved "dirty, worse Santa", Belsnickel. And speaking of Santa, Christine brings us a hilarious, scary and wild set of stories about Santa crimes. And did Christine eat walnuts out of her father's old boot? Tune in to find out! That's definitely why we drink!

We're going wild with "fun" facts today for episode 254, from Runescape to shoe buckles to the last woman hanged in New York State! For Xandy's second episode, Em covers the second part in their two-part series on the local lore of the Bunnyman Bridge. Then Xandy takes us time traveling through old newspapers and the case of Bathsheba Spooner, the first woman executed by the U.S. government.

E253 The Funcle Takeover and the Crimes of Christine Dec 12, 2021

Show notes

Who's guest hosting episode 253? Well, let's just say, it's very high and he doesn't like ladders... it's Uncle Xandy! We have the sorry fool who shares blood with America's Hircine Shifter here to tell us a true crime tale from his family's German hometown. But first Em brings us part one in a series on a personal urban legend from their own hometown: The Bunnyman Bridge of Virginia. Then Xandy covers serial killer Jürgen Bartsch and talks way more about castration than he planned. And thankfully we can confirm that Christine hangs curtains better than the Bunnyman... and that's why we drink!

E252 B-List Ghosts and French Diamond Thief Girlboss Energy Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

Meet us at the floating ghost beer, because it's episode 252 and we're still at the haunted bar! Em finishes their two-part series on the Glen Tavern Inn and the Phillip Experiment that was done there to create a fake (or psychically real?) ghost. Then Eva takes us on a wild heist with French Adventuress Jeanne de Valois-Saint-Rémy aka self proclaimed Comtesse de La Motte, and the Affair of the Diamond Necklace she masterminded and inadvertently helped kick start the French Revolution. Join us for the hottest tea of the week and our very bad French accents... and that's why we drink!
