And That's Why We Drink

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 Please consid

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!

It's episode 197 and we're here to tell you, we don't know that goat and we've never seen that lizard before in our lives! 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.

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!
