They got a little tangled in their own puppet strings but don't worry, Em's just the puppet master and really the puppets are playing Em. And we were blown away by all of your armchair stories! We hear from folks who saw faceless men who froze to death glaring from their Lay-Z-Boy, had their sheets caught in an armchair full of ghostly withered arms, had yearly lucid dreams of embroidered armchairs and dangerous scarecrow men on Halloween, and even had their lives saved by an outdoor rocking armchair! Should we keep it going with Ottoman Autumn? ...and that's why we drink!

E222 The Wine Kill Switch and the Paranormal Vagina Monologues
02:18:55

It's Em's lucky episode 222 and the rumors are true... Christine is with demon! We're dishing all the details on reactions and reliving the wild pregnancy genius that is The Maltese Bagans (created because a certain famed demon hunter yet again did not respond to Christine's pleas). Then Em takes on a story just dripping in ectoplasm from every orifice, the story of medium Eva Carrière (NOT to be confused with our Eva, for reasons that will soon become clear). Afterward, Christine takes us to New South Wales, Australia to cover the brutal and heartbreaking case of the Lin family murders and a daughter so incredible we can't send her enough love and light. We also debate the use of planchettes as teething toys... and that's why we drink!

E221 Family Nuts and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Backrooms
02:00:21

You asked, Em covered the wrong story, and then we finally delivered... this week on episode 221 Em is officially covering the topic so many of you asked for: the Backrooms Theory. And, wow, is it creepy! From mobile mannequins to death sheep to the currency of boiled almond water, you won't want to miss this wild ride. Then Chrisitne covers a story we can't believe we hadn't heard before: Abraham Shakespeare and his tragic murder over lottery money by Dee Dee Moore. And don't forget to check out the link below to an announcement so big only one man could do it justice, but for legal purposes may or may not have actually been involved... and that's why we (don't) drink!

01:07:47

We're back with some traditional (and extremely creepy) listener ghost stories this month, boozers and shakers! Tune in to Listener Stories: Vol. 55 for a terrifying paranormal tunnel, some wild symptoms of exorcisms and to top it all off a ghost that's just super disappointed in you, potentially for playing hoop and stick. Christine also shares a terrifying tale of her own involving lightning and a ghost that traveled with her to a condo... and that's why we drink!

E220 Astrophysics Improv and the Owl Queen
02:06:59

Did you want to learn science from someone who just learned it yesterday? Well, welcome to episode 220 in which we do our best to understand multiverses, black holes and spaghettification (which we promise is a real term) all because Em researched the wrong topic. But as space lovers we were enthralled with the Back Door Theory, because honestly the idea of being torn apart atom by atom is just as scary as any cryptid. Em promises to bring you the Back Rooms Theory (also not the Back Woods Theory) next week. Then Christine pays homage to early pandemic binge watching trends with the story of Joe Exotic, his escalating rivalry with fellow big cat lover Carole Baskin and a murder-for-hire ploy that's only the tip of this chaotic iceberg. Christine also gets to practice her dramatic lyric reading skills... and that's why we drink!

E219 A Paper Mâché Nose Doll and Mothman's Grandchildren
02:31:25

Get ready because episode 219 is a chatty one! What is a paper mâché nose doll? Who are mothman's grandchildren? We've got wild speculation on both this week and two fascinating topics: First Em takes us back into old school medium territory with the story of Helen Duncan aka Hellish Nell aka Scotland's Last Witch. It involves way more cheesecloth than you think. Then Christine covers the mysterious case of the Somerton Man aka the Tamam Shud case, which involves more secret pockets and ear measuring than you might think. We also tackle a question we know you've been anxiously waiting for us to answer: What exactly is British Vampire Condition? ...and that's why we drink!

E218 A Skeleton's Waiting Room and Christine's New Screen Name
01:53:59

Is that the voice of the wise owl in the woods? Is it the ghost of a grandma who wants to cremate her cares? Or is it Chrisitne in her old elementary school play costume trying to infiltrate a secret society? This week on episode 218, Em takes us deep into the Bohemian Grove, an exclusive club and "summer camp for presidents" with some wild allegations attached to it. Then Christine closes out her first two-parter with the conclusion of her story on Richard Ramirez, the "second-hand" nightstalker and true terror of a serial killer. We also contemplate some gossip we have to bleep out and Satan's divine intervention... and that's why we drink!

An enormous thank you and sincerest apologies to Talk Murder With Me by Natalie DeGroot. We unintentionally used portions of her article on the murder of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind (in episode 214) without giving proper credit and we wholeheartedly want to rectify that.

E217 A Mantis Manifesto and a Serial Killer's Dentist
01:50:34

If you see a praying mantis while listening to this episode, cover it's ears! Because this week in episode 217, Em takes us on a deep and disturbing dive into the world of praying mantis aliens (segoo-ing from the evil dark lord mantis from Laura Clarke's story last week). Then Christine brings us her first two-parter ever with part one of heavy hitter Richard Ramirez. Also, remember to be on the lookout for large bugs in robes... and that's why we drink!

Listener Stories: Vol. 54
00:33:57

Does this melodious voice sound familiar? Maybe even like it was cursed by a witch in order to achieve paranormal radio stardom? That's right, we have the one and only Terry Carnation from Dark Air as our first, best (and only) guest. He's known by many names and we've heard the moniker Rainn Wilson floating around too but we firmly believe that identity theft is real, so we're hoping the latter isn't a fraudulent imposter. Happy April Fools Day! Don't forget to store your souls (NOT sperm) in a crystal pendant and wear it non-stop in case you expire in the Venice canals and have to be fished out by a gondolier (or Em's bare hands)... and that's why we drink!

Make sure to listen to Terry's triumphant return to radio in Dark Air, premiering April 1st, 2021! You can also hear Terry on Radio Rental and explore his collection of spooky stories on VHS - both are available on all your favorite listening platforms!

02:15:35

Blessings from the satanic praying mantis! It's episode 216 and Em is taking us to space for the wild and disconcerting story of the abductions of Laura Clarke. Then Christine takes us to Cleveland to cover an extremely disturbing case, the case of the Cleveland Strangler Anthony Sowell.

We also discuss the recent rise in hate crimes against the AAPI community and the devastating, targeted shootings at spas in Atlanta. We'd like to provide the following resources to help combat hate crimes and support the AAPI community:

We're taking you back to our live show in Seattle this week where Em covers the most famous cryptid of all, that's right, Washington State Monster himself, Sasquatch! Then Christine brings us the unbelievable story of the kidnapping of local 9-year-old George Weyerhaeuser and the wild logistical choices his kidnappers made. Christine might have also worn Em's underwear in your city, Seattle... and that's why we drink!

It's episode 214 and you know what that means... a lesson in face washing direct from Em's apartment that didn't have running water at the time of recording! Sit back, relax and let Em regale you with their post-pandemic fashion predictions followed by the creepy and sad story of the Headless Nun of New Brunswick. Then Christine takes us to Fargo to cover the brutal story of the murder of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind. Christine also exposes us all to art via her trenchcoat... and that's why we drink!

Excuse me, Spotify? We'd like to submit our podcast for a new category, that will only include us, called "Podcasts Built on a Thousand Demons". We anxiously await your response. In the meantime, Grandpapa Emothy is bringing us a wild haunting from Connecticut in the Trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, also known as the "Devil Made Me Do It" case. Then Christine takes us to England for the chilling White House Farm Murders. And in case you've ever asked that age old question, "when will I ever need to know math in the real world?", we've got an answer for you and it's apparently while telling ghost stories... and that's why we drink!

Sit back, relax and enjoy our chill 90s coffee shop vibes this month, boozers and shakers. Let us set the stage: you're walking back to your seat with a scone and a London Fog in hand. Maybe you're wearing a black turtleneck, maybe you're even wearing one of those weird shrunken crinkle shirts that had no right being as popular as they were. You hear the snaps that tell you the last poem is over and a new artist is about to take the mic. You chit chat with the friend you dragged with you for moral support, until you hear it... the most mournful, dulcet tones you've heard all night. They're speaking of love, loneliness and the dangers of lamp light. Their red eyes meet yours as they deliver their well rehearsed verses and for a single second that holds all of eternity, you're locked together in this supernatural moment.

E211 The Echelon Twins and a Rotary Butt Dial
02:41:52

Welcome to episode 211, where this week we're spreading the bad news so it doesn't turn into worse news... Join us as Em dives even deeper into the world of conspiracy theories for the second part in their series on QAnon. They cover the antisemitism at the root of it, just how people are getting sucked in and the rumors about who could be behind the infamous Q poster. Then Christine takes us back to Psych 101 class with the case that prompted not only the Bystander Effect but the origins of 911 itself, the murder of Kitty Genovese. We also look into Kitty's badass life as a bartender, "bookmaker" and girlfriend. And lastly, is Em a gummy worm sinner? ...and that's why we drink!

Check out the blog posts Em mentions in their story here:

02:18:20

Let's plunge into it! Episode 210 celebrates all things lemon and plunger related as we also spill bread crumbs all over the floor... That's because Em is taking us on a very timely journey through the wild web of beliefs of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Then we segoo flawlessly into cult territory as Christine takes us to Antelope, Oregon in the 80s to cover the Rajneesh Movement and their plan to poison an entire town. We also learn how Christine finally made the cut for Hoboken Style, baby! ...and that's why we drink!

Happy February! We've got DJ Love and DJ Cupid in the house... but we rewound live radio so we're actually not sure those are the final names we're going with. This month we've got quite the smorgasbord of mind-bending tales, some involving love, some obsession, maybe even a little Bigfoot spoken word poetry in the mix. Definitely make sure you listen to the very end for an especially mind-blowing story. We'll give you a hint, it involves Zak Bagans! It was just a real dealer's choice this month and Eva was the dealer. Our main takeaways are: A love emergency is still an emergency and also we might have rashes on our souls... and that's why we drink!

Then Christine covers the dark and controversial case of the murder of Trang Ho by her Harvard roommate Sinedu Tadesse. We also learned a new phrase and it's, "please don't violate our airspace"... and that's why we drink!

Be careful with your bread this year, everyone! It's episode 205 and we're already worried about what we could manifest even with just sandwich predictions. Speaking of predictions, this week Em covers all the times the TV show The Simpsons predicted the future, and how the writers just might be time-traveling mathematicians. Then Christine covers the story of Mexican human rights activist Miriam Rodríguez Martínez and how she tracked down her daughter’s killers all on her own. Also, why did no one call us to go eat cheese on Mars... and that's why we drink!

You can find Christine's heartfelt video on miscarriage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOiCz2KMuRs

E204 This Year's Sandwich Predictions and the Old Synaprague
02:22:31

Happy 2021 and episode 204! Christine has already met her quota of songs sung to Em, but don't worry she has more. This week we're starting the new year with a bang as Em brings us the story of the Golem, straight out of Jewish folklore. Then Christine covers heavy hitter Son of Sam and throws Em back to stories Linda told of living in the area Son of Sam terrorized. We also speculate on the horrors of Fantasia and we, like Golem the Pokemon, would also like one hundred candies in order to evolve... and that's why we drink!

Listener Stories: Vol. 51
01:06:06

Welcome to 2021! We're only predicting sandwiches this time around. We decided to scale down our manifesting this year and just focus on food... remember when we learned the history of the word "quarantine" mere weeks before the epidemic hit. Yikes! We're just so glad to be here in the new year with you all and reading your creepy stories. This month Em dubs the theme "poop your pants" scary. We've got an equal split of wild paranormal stories and true crime connections, like the truth behind who spotted Richard Speck's notorious tattoo that led to his capture. We also hear from a listener who was cursed by our listeners episode about curses caused by the podcast. Lastly, we may or may not have discovered that Chrsitine's real dad is a bathroom shadow figure... and that's why we drink!

E202 Spiritualist Chippendales and the Murder Situation Show
03:37:30

Would we want to have our pants unbuttoned in a dark wardrobe by a bunch of spiritualists? We ponder this and many more hard hitting questions this week as Em brings us back to the booming age of American Spiritualism with the story of the Davenport Brothers and their tricky wardrobe. Then Christine takes us to 1996 and Christmas day in Boulder, Colorado for, you guessed it, the notorious JonBenét Ramsey case! Our orthopedic slippers are off on this one, so buckle up for all of our thoughts and theories. We also hatch a plan to convert our Blue's Clues wardrobe into a working Davenport cabinet... and that's why we drink!

In honor of such a milestone, we're covering the hard hitting topics you've always yearned to know more about, like "does every dead guy have his name changed to Walt in the afterlife?" and "if you buy 12 cakes and your grandfather's ghost eats 9 of them, how many do you have left?".

E201 Pi Day Advent Season and a Ouija Planchette Flasher
02:33:50

Episode 201 is one linguine all the way to the top! Mostly because we discover that if we die under strange circumstances and there's not a ouija board session with us entered as witness testimony, we'll be pissed. This week Em covers the Fox Sisters, whose claim to fame is foot cracking and accidentally founding American Spiritualism. Then Christine takes us to Australia for the wildly mysterious death of Phoebe Handsjuk and a deep dive on the science of trash shoots. And maybe we're just a product of our times, but we're not sure we would recognize the specific sounds of coffin-making... and that's why we drink!

E200 The Burbank Fish-Flopper and a Homicidal Rhombus
03:04:09

Episode 200 is finally here!! Can you even imagine a world in which Christine doesn't know Em is a clown?! Or that Em would be surprised that a member of Christine's family set a bear loose in town?

We're taking quite a few walks down memory lane today and we've got some fun, throwback announcements to go with it! We just released a kick ass, limited edition ATWWD comic book that brings our very first episode to life! We also released vintage merch that's lived with us in all our recording studios (and Em screen printed with their very own hands). Em also made us all a digital escape room so we can celebrate together from afar. And we've got some surprise guest appearances from Lemon (who is safe and sound and quarantining with Em) and the story of a newly blossoming, real life friendship with Farmer Bob.

For our stories today we decided to keep with the throwback theme and revisit the topics from our first episode: The Winchester Mystery House and Jonestown! We had a blast giving these OG topics a fresh coat of paint with our current research methods. We even discovered some new details we missed the first time around, like the Winchester Mystery House is even more of a fire hazard than we previously thought and Jim Jones just might have been the only straight person in the entire world.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who has stuck with us on this wild ride. We can't thank you enough for helping us spiral this small idea of ours into the chaotic fever dream it's become. We couldn't do it without you! But perhaps most importantly, even after 200 episodes, you can still call us daddy and we'll sell you a monkey... and that's why we drink!

E199 The Surgeon Sturgeon Named Spurgeon and Big Bert in the Million Acre Wood
01:45:46

Always Christine, never the coroner... this week on episode 199 (wow, so close to 200!) we're still battling side effects of our new medications but are wholeheartedly embracing all the many and varied ways we could feel uncomfortable next! We've also got some big and mysterious stories to distract us this week as Em takes us on an epic Scottish adventure to Loch Ness. That's right, Em is covering the legend of Nessie (and their potential love interest with some Xiinön-level falsies)! Then Christine covers an unsolved mystery that will leave you contemplating chimneys, folded clothes and cabins in the woods in the story of missing Colorado teen Joshua Maddux, also known as the Boy in the Chimney.

And do you think Nessie could have been a vacuum cleaner this whole time? Either way, Em may have officially sent Christine over the edge and into the loch... and that's why we drink!

Check out the poem Em mentioned in their story that was written in Nessie's very own first language: bit.ly/nessiesong

It's episode 198 and we've got lots of juice covered news for you! For starters, we're getting so close to our 200th episode and we can't wait to share the surprises we have in store. Then Em announces they've officially been diagnosed with ADHD and is reaping the benefits of their new medication, including both dry mouth and a laser focused deep dive into what it means to be drawn and quartered... which unfortunately happened in their story topic this week: the Charleston Old City Jail aka the most haunted building in South Carolina. Then Christine covers a story with a wild amount of footage pre-murder: the Watts family killings. We're also led to believe Nichol is the new Meghan... and that's why we drink!

Although we might have started an avalanche by turning ourselves into wolves, because this week Em brings us the second part in their two-part series on the history and trials of werewolves. Then Christine covers the tragic death by exposure of Saskatoon Saulteaux First Nations teen Neil Stonechild and the wildly racist practice of starlight tours by local police.

Lastly, we offer our apologies but we mean full offense to medieval pamphlet writers... and that's why we drink!

HALLOWEEN IS HERE!! And Eva's currently calling a lawyer because episode 194 is so spooky, it might just be illegal. We're also worried Zak Bagans is going to sue and/or block all of us now... Because as a Halloween surprise Em is covering the history of our favorite paranormal investigator and the origins of Ghost Adventures!! Christine then takes us on a wild Halloween ride that may very well be the basis for the urban legend that had our parents combing our Trick-or-Treat candy for poison, the story of The Candyman Ronald O'Bryan. Tune in to hear all about our spooky live stream, see Christine's Lemon costume, and get a sneak peek of Em's undying alien love, Xiinön!

And, in the meantime, should we start peeing on ourselves now just in case it wards off ghosts? And that's why we drink!

E192 Comfy Chic and a Full Ass Exorcism
01:45:44

Move the embalming fluid aside and get comfy! Because this week, episode 192 is ushering in the spooky season! Em gives us an old-school haunting with an '80s talk show twist in the Snedeker Haunting. Then Christine takes us to Scotland for the wild and fucked up tale of Bible John, a dance hall murderer who confounded police for so long they gave out business cards to every man they eliminated as a suspect that said, "I'm not Bible John". We're also pretty sure this episode includes the sound of a hundred thousand bats flying out of our souls and leaving our husks behind... and that's why we drink!

Podcast Blackout
00:01:26

In light of this week’s demonstrations against racial violence and police brutality in America, it did not feel right for us to disregard the current climate and post an episode of ATWWD. Instead, as white folks, we feel it’s time to step out of frame and listen, learn, and absorb from Black voices, before taking action.


Instead, And That’s Why We Drink has decided, alongside several other podcasts, to participate in the Podcast Blackout in support of and in solidarity with this week’s demonstrations against police brutality and racial violence in America.


Instead of listening to this week’s episode, we urge you to take this time to do what you can to join the fight against racial injustice. If you are unable to protest, there are still countless ways to directly help the protest efforts. If you have the means, please consider donating to Campaign Zero, Reclaim the Block, the Black Visions Collective, or countless other local and national initiatives. You can also spend this time joining the clean-up efforts in your city, or educating yourself, family, and friends about the events that have let up to the current state of our country. Please visit tinyurl.com/blmforever for an extensive list of places to donate, petitions to sign, and tips for protesting safely.


Thank you, and we’ll be back next week. For now, we urge you to take action. Whatever you do, don’t do nothing. White silence is white violence.

"Pour one out for Michael Scott, Juniper and Em's computer! We attempted to up our game and record video this week and accidentally crashed Em's computer... oops! But that only means we get the chance to release the audio from one of our favorite live shows: Minneapolis at the beautiful Varsity Theater! Sit back, relax and get your drinks ready while we tell you the tales of Pepie the monster of Lake Pepin. He's either the size of a leg, an elephant or 20 feet, we're not exactly sure. Then Christine covers "the most cold blooded murderer who ever walked god's footstool", Harry Hayward and his dramatic murder of the badass dressmaker Kitty Ging. We're also mildly confused by the Minneapolis hamster tubes... and that's why we drink!

Em covers the legendary Omni Parker Hotel, which is just chock full of ghosts and also delicious rolls. Then Christine covers a criminal so brash he masqueraded as everything from a Rockefeller to a European baronet (we're not sure what that is either) but his real name is Christian Gerhartsreiter. Don't miss the first real memory we made together in Boston as actual friends... and that's why we drink!

Merry Christmas Tanner! Let's all go tap-dance on Em's coattails. This week we both accidentally end up in Salt Lake City, which seems to be a pretty messed up place (no offense, SLC).

Meanwhile, Christine covers a different kind of horror, the murder of Franklin Bradshaw, a wealthy grandpa with a cardboard briefcase and oatmeal full of amphetamines. We also learn that Em went to modeling school and Christine…well, didn’t. And that’s why we drink!

01:43:53

Funcle Em strikes back! We're drenched in buffalo plaid and Canadian cheer this week - Christine is back from Halifax and has brought Em an entire souvenir shop's worth of Canadian swag. Em then takes us to their home state of Virginia for the story of the Witch of Pungo, Grace Sherwood. And Christine brings us back to Canada to convince Em there are, in fact, Canadian murderers. And, boy, does Bruce McArthur prove that point. PS. Does anyone want to do some dark magic involving artisanal peanut butter with us? ...and that's why we drink!

E133 A Dumpy Tunnel and Dungeon Lite TM
01:39:02

Pardon us, we need a quick turkey intermission... Juniper will fill in for us while we're gone. This week we're leaving the U.S. to cover the hauntings of the entirely too old Dover Castle and a compilation of Austrian murders including Hugo Schenk the Viennese Housemaids Killer, Max Gufler the Austrian Bluebeard, and Oswald Sibrol who just doesn't get a nickname.
We're also completely broken hearted by the recent, and all of the previous, mass shootings. If you are looking for a way to contribute to stopping gun violence, here are some suggestions:

01:53:47

Hold on to your Bermuda shorts and khaki hot pants because we've got some doozies for you this week. Em shakes the dust off their Detroit notes and covers the extremely fucked up Eloise Asylum.

E121 The Plumbing Dutchman and a Murderous Glow Down
01:20:26

Hold onto your bellybuttons, because it’s finally here! This week we had the pleasure of sitting down with the lovely gals of Wine & Crime to discuss “glow up” stories… Don’t worry, Christine had to google it too. Em takes “glowing up” quite seriously with their coverage of the Flying Dutchman and his glowing, skeleton-filled ship. Meanwhile, Christine takes somewhat of a left turn and covers the story of serial killer Jake Bird and his murderous hex that left six people dead. It was a glow up for him, but a glow down for the rest of the world. And that’s why we drink! Check out Wine & Crime on your favorite podcasting app, or at http://www.wineandcrimepodcast.com!

E110 A Pretty Little Monster and a Planetary Enzyme
01:20:44

Calling all cool teens! Stop snagging and necking and tune into our horniest episode ever! In episode 110 Em covers the Goatman(person?) of Maryland. It’s unclear whether he’s a genetic experiment gone wrong, a hairy old introvert, or simply an urban legend. What we do know, however, is that he’s 100% axe. But that’s not all! Em gives us a bonus story this week - the Pope Lick Monster! Or as we like to call him, the Pretty Little Monster. 



Meanwhile, Christine covers the story of Ira Einhorn, who considers himself Philadelphia’s very own planetary enzyme. However, we know him as a hypocritical, predatory murderer who did NOT invent Earth Day and also smells like a hoagie with onions. Moral of the story: contrary to popular belief, the world could use a little less hugging. And that’s why we drink!

Hey there, drunks and punks (go with us, we’re trying to make it happen)! Welcome to our smooth and goosebumpy sounds! We’re back in a re-styled studio with new mics and we’re feeling great, that includes Lemon. Per usual, we have some wild and spooky journeys to take you on today: Em brings us the brutal creepiness that is the Beast of Gévaudan (a french story that throws Em back to their high-school french class days) and Christine tells the crazy story of Evelyn Dick and the 1946 Torso Murder (so buckle up). Also, be prepared, Lemon makes his audio debut… and that’s why we drink!

Happy March, everyone! Did you know that knowledge is power and just because you're dead doesn’t mean your education has to stop? Today we learn that and more from listeners who tell us stories about their Harry Potter loving ghost friends, sibling soul swapping experiences, astral projection and whiskey- infused cemetery night terrors. We also learn about the haunted house of the former Canadian Prime Minister... and that's why we drink!

01:30:19

If this plane goes down, don’t tell our mothers we were in group 8! We were home from tour long enough to record this week and are already back on the road to the Pacific Northwest and FREAKING CANADA! We also catch up on topics from Valentine's Day to hot sauce to voodoo, so buckle up. We do eventually tell some epic stories from our favorite live shows that didn't initially get recorded including Dear David and the murder of Viola Drath, aka the inspiration for the upcoming "The Worst Marriage in Georgetown"!



We also introduce the newest member of the ATWWD family… a mummified lemon (named Lemon) Christine found under her bed in San Jose… and that’s why we drink! In Citrus and in Health!

E107 Ghostly Cat Toes and a Box-in-a-Box-in-a-Box
01:03:22

Odds are we’re currently in an airport, on an airplane, or in an airport again. That’s why we’re coming at you live from Phoenix, AZ, this week! Em covers the Jerome Grand Hotel, which is full of bearded ghosts, headless ghosts, and best of all, cat ghosts. The hotel is also inexplicably proud of its ancient elevator, but we’d advise against using it. Next up, Christine picks one of Arizona’s many female murderers, Wendi Andriano, whose terminally ill husband just wasn’t dying fast enough for her liking.

Buckle up because today Em takes us through some truly horrifying stories of real life sleep paralysis. Meanwhile Christine brings us the extremely fucked up tale of the Postcard Killer, John Frank Hickey. And we reminisce about the past two years on our official podcast birthday!

Guys. Our heads hurt. We’re time traveling again this week for Em’s second part in their series on Project Pegasus and our minds are sufficiently blown.

Christine’s immune system rebelled against her this week, so we’re coming at you with our first Philly live show! Em covers the General Wayne Inn, which features some pretty judgmental drunken spirits, and Christine covers the Philly Poison Ring, which is full of spaghetti, witchcraft, and, of course, murder. Philly, thanks for being good to us. Til next time. And that’s why we drink!

Something is very wonky in the state of Brussels, but don't worry because THIS IS OUR 100TH EPISODE!! Hold on to your buckets because we've got presents, surprises, new stories and a BIG announcement to celebrate 100 episodes and over 200 stories told! This week Em and Christine swap story ideas which brings us the mysterious tale of the abandoned merchant ship, the Mary Celeste, that was found abandoned and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean with no explanation. On the true crime side, Christine tells the wild tale of Belgium-Hungarian serial killer András Pándy, which, involves the hiring of actors, you'll never guess for what! And Christine humanely saves a piece of confetti from downing in her wine... and that's why we drink, from 10/30/16 to forever!

01:40:22

Spirit of Christine, are you there? Scratch us with three claw marks if you want us to leave this kiddie pool of wine by your grave! In the last episode before we hit triple digits, Em covers reportedly the most haunted hotel in Great Britain, the Rams Inn of Gloucestershire. This obviously brings us to the age-old question: is it grave desecration to give spirits brownie batter? Meanwhile, Christine covers the much requested and devastating story of the Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, Texas. We also just might be opening our own bread and breakfast… and that's why we drink!

02:00:33

So sorry, everyone, we have to reschedule. We have a demonic assault penciled in for 3pm today. But in the meantime, Em brings us a movie report of the Vatican exorcist, Father Amorth, and how the director of the Exorcist (the film) witnessed his first real-life demonic possession. On the true crime side, Christine, hot off her jaguar-filled honeymoon, tells the tragic story of the death of Tina Watson, who died under suspicious circumstances while scuba diving in Australia on her own 2003 honeymoon. And lastly, get ready, because we're quitting the podcast game to become full-time bubble wrap salespeople… and that's why we drink!

Meanwhile, Christine shares the traumatizingly dark story of Katy Harris and Krystal Surles. Christine prescribes many King of the Hill episodes post listening to this story. We also announce our spin-off show, "Poor and Spicy in Missouri"… and that's why we drink!

Meanwhile Christine brings us the heartbreaking story of the murders of Hannah Graham and Morgan Harrington, a case that intersects with Em's alma mater. We also may have coerced Blaise into starting a band called, "Blaise and the Jaguars"... and that's why we drink!

Today we read your listener stories featuring the Brazilian version of Bloody Mary, a v haunted British church, a cult condo and a freaky deer for your post-Halloween come-down. And speaking of deer, did you know Em trapped a deer in a ski resort bathroom once? You'll have to listen to find out... and that's why we drink!

E91 Mad Lib Disease and an Everlasting Faint
01:37:03

We're back in real time! Christine has redirected her wedding planning energy into Halloween surprises! And don't worry, it's only part one of our Halloween celebrations because you know us, we can't do anything just once, especially during spooky season. Today Em and Christine bring you extra special creepy compilations - Em relays the scariest moments from their mom Linda's life and Christine brings us the many genres of Ouija board murder. And here's the thing, we're not planning on making a homemade Ouija board out of hotel wine glasses during our upcoming tour - but if it happens, it happens, OK? And that's why we drink!

Shout out to all our suspiciously beautiful listeners out there because you just might be a witch!

In this episode, Em covers the notorious Cecil Hotel, filled with doom, gloom, and vengeful ghosts. Meanwhile, Christine covers the batshit crazy unsolved Hollywood mystery of William Desmond Taylor. And that's why we drink!

01:06:24

Ok, stop pinching people's butts and do something good. This week Em dives into the haunts of the Cary Hotel in Placerville, California and one ghost, in particular, who has quite the sexual appetite. There's also gold dust and ghost cats involved so get ready for a wild ride. Meanwhile Christine shares the brutal and baffling murders of the Setagaya Family in Japan. Our parting words of wisdom this week? Don't bother taking the elevator... and that's why we drink!

Listener Stories: Vol. 21
00:47:54

OK, we're seeing a trend here. We're definitely on a friendly ghost kick after a certain doll who shan't be named. This month we read listeners' stories that are fluffier than Gio's butt curtain and feature a financially generous ghost as well as a bitchy sorority ghost who steals your homework... and that's why we drink!

E87 Paranormal Fun Facts and Your Sister's Pony
01:27:26

Are you sitting down? It's about time we had the talk. When a mommy ghost and a daddy ghost love each other very much that's how a baby ghost is born! This week Em brings us the origins of Casper the Friendly Ghost and still manages to traumatize Christine. Meanwhile, Christine dives into the wild story of Jack Gilbert Graham, a truly pre-TSA tale. We also preview a theme song remix a genius listener sent us that is definitely our new live show intro music. And we discuss plans for our Halloween sleepover... and that's why we drink!

E86 The Haunted Doll Market and 420 Zodiac
02:12:01

You might need your EMF readers for this one because we've got two intense stories today. Em brings us the incredibly well-documented and terrifying (we mean beautiful) tale of Harold the doll while Christine tackles the freaking Zodiac Killer. Don't worry, our EMF definitely WASN'T GOING BATSHIT DURING RECORDING. We're fine. We think. We've also discovered we're unwittingly part of the haunted doll market and Harold might have overfilled Christine's wine glass... and that's why we drink!

E85 Transgender Lemonade and Old Ass Bowling Balls
01:24:17

Episode 85 is upon us! Get your holy water ready because Em takes us back to the Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum to cover Ed Gein's cauldron and Bela Lugosi's creepy portal mirror. Meanwhile, Christine cracks into the fucked up case of David Edward Maust, another serial killer who actually begged to stay in jail. We also learn that Christine's 6 year-old self may have performed a dark ritual and, don't worry, we find a way to bring up bowling again... and that's why we drink!

E84 A Powerful Chicken and a Techno Haunting
01:28:55

Come closer…. we have a secret to tell you… we're certainly not going to vomit a chicken into your mouth. This week Em takes us step-by-step through the myths and transformation process of the terrifying Filipino vampire/zombie/boogie-person, the Aswang. And Christine shares the life and lies of Henry Lee Lucas's infamous, though often exaggerated, career as a serial killer. His horror-scope proves VERY virgo. We also might have been both personally haunted and true crime-d during the recording of this episode so strap in for a wild ride… and that's why we drink!

E83 Ghost Goats and Horror-scopes
01:10:25

Listen, we'll set a hell portal on fire, if that's what you need. This week, Em brings us face-to-face with the square-shaped goat pupils of the hauntings at Goatman's Bridge in Denton County, Texas. Meanwhile, Christine takes on the aspiring "Boss Boy" and potentially worst killer in South Carolina's history, Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins. We're also into reading serial killer's HORROR-scopes now (get it?) and Gio learns to share his wit in the workplace ...and that's why we drink!

E81 Little Pilgrims and Astrological Issues
01:36:04

Love your hair, hate your guts! It's just funny that Em brings back the drunk sorority girl voice but it's fine, we'll talk about it later... This week Em also brings you the mystery of the disappearances at the Flannan Isles Lighthouse in Scotland, and Christine tells the story of Edward, we mean, Charles Cullen, possibly the most prolific serial killer in history. And per Gio's horoscope, he'll see you at the farmer's market, maybe... Love you, mean it! And that's why we drink!
