41. Olivia Would Never

Just as I thought, my high ass didn't post this episode before New Year's. So... welcome to 2021, but when you listen to this, imagine it's December 27. Hope you all had a great NYE, even though we can't travel or hang out with friends and/or loved ones, or dress up and go to a big party... but distract yourself with this brief, macabre story! 

And then share your thoughts with us on social media:

Grab a blanket and some hot chocolate (with or without a splash of peppermint schnapps) and cozy up with a nice blanket to hear a good, old-fashioned ghost story. Well, actually, it's pretty modern. The story is told entirely through tweets. And Kayla's going to read them to you... and special guest Comfort.

PS - if you wouldn't mind sharing this link - gf.me/u/y2nzyx - my lil nugget Daisy really needs leg surgery and it is PRICEY. I'd appreciate it massively. Much love, buds! 

Hi, buds! Blame my brain for how long it took to get going again. Times are hard, etc etc. We hope you all are hanging in during this bizarre time. We are hoping to get back on track so you at least have some content to distract yourself from the hell of the pandemic, upcoming election, civil unrest, etc.

Tonight we talked about Elisa Lam, and the massively haunted Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. It's a strange topic, and incredibly sad. Note to our listeners: if you or someone you know is struggling right now (which is super understandable!) please know there is hope out there. 1-800-273-8255 is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. We love you! Please take care of yourself. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Hi, buds! Big apologies for taking so long to get this live. July has been a rough month to say the least. Anyway, Sloane came up with the great idea for us to do Q&As to add some levity since everything is so hard right now. So hers will be coming shortly.

Hi, buds! Happy Saturday! (Nope, not gonna say happy fourth when we STILL haven't arrested the men who killed Breonna Taylor.) This week we're trying to ease back into podcasting despite health problems, birthdays, and the world absolutely crumbling to hell. We're going to read some serial killer baseball cards, and if you're interested in learning more about any of these creeps, let us know and we'll do a full episode on them! Check out our social for a video that accompanies this episode.

Until next time, get some socially-distanced vitamin D, wear your mask, and just keep trying to dismantle the patriarchy and the racist American "justice" system. Love you, buds!

Bored? Stuck inside? Occupy your mind for, like, 30 seconds, and give us a five-star review on Apple podcasts. Make our day!

We're still here. And it's still quarantine. But at least I learned a fun true crime fact during work's bi-weekly company trivia. So here you go! It's a shorter episode, and my friend Mikaela guest co-hosts. Happy MDW!

Warning: We talk about The Office. A lot. 

If you're feeling gleeful over an extra day off, why don't you head on over to Apple Podcasts and give us a five-star review? Love you.

Last week was rough - but I'm getting you an episode this week, even if it kills me! Hope you like scary stories, because we're talking Creepypastas. There's been so much going on in the world and in our personal lives, that we figured we'd take a break from devastating crime and read some scary stories. 

So hit that j, cuddle up on the couch, and hunker down for some creepy stories and mild commentary. Woo!

Hi, buds! Kayla and Sloane both had their share of health issues last week. Apologies for no new episode. But tonight we are talking about Skylar Neese. (with the "we" being my roommate Comfort and myself). 

Skylar's story is terrifying, infuriating, and sad. And a lot of it takes place on social media - Twitter in particular. Now, we're not saying Twitter was the cause for this tragic story, but it did play a large part. 

As always, thank you for your continued support. We love you! Stay safe out there. 💚

Surprise! You get a second episode this week, you lucky ducks. And this is an important one. Since we just had a grand ol' time celebrating 420, it seemed only right that we also talk this week about the people sitting in prison for non-violent marijuana crimes. They paved the way for us to enjoy this wonderful plant, and so it is our duty to help take care of them, too. 

We were lucky enough to get to speak with Steve DeAngelo and Sarah Gersten of Last Prisoner Project, which works not only to free those in prison for non-violent marijuana charges, but also to help them get back on their feet and reintegrated into society once they're out.
