Banshees And Booze

Look at us cultured bitches! This week Amie and Tami CAREFULLY talk their way through a discussion of haunted brothels! Tami revisits a classic Ghost Hunters episode where the boys find their hard rubber balls at the Birdcage Theater in Tombstone, Arizona. Then we slide our beers over to Butte (BUTT!), Montana at the Dumas (DUMB ASS!) Brothel where there were so many fucks happening at once, they had to get the Fridgedaire involved. Figure out some French Canadian sex tricks and shut the fuck up, Martha! . Engineer: Nathan G. .

Sip along with the accidentally not-terrible drink, the Tamibocker (guess who made this one!). Hear about the once-glorious hotel that's now a retirement home full of the oldest people your hosts are DYING to chat up.

Spoiler alert: Tami fucking cries again. This week we take a sideways step from the usual ghost stories and dive into the fascinating/terrifying/hilarious world of Near Death Experiences. Amie tells the story of Messiah, who faced the devil and came back for his daughter. Tami fell down the rabbithole that is the International Association of Near Death Studies, and still isn't sure how much to believe. Luckily we have a bunch of funny stories to lighten the mood at the end; who doesn't love a good zombie story? And the girls make another afterlife plan to meet at Boardners... of course. .

Sometimes you wanna ghost WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR GRAVE.... (bum, bum bum!). Sometimes you just want to slip into a topic that feels familiar, and that's why we went back to the haunts that keep on possessing us: Bars! Hear about The Red Lion in Chicago that Tami thiiiiiiiiinks she went to once (who can tell; that period of her life is a blur), and hear a first-hand account of a kind spirit encounter from a long-time bartender at Earnestine and Hazel’s in Memphis. Plus a fun and extremely altered Up Ghost and Personal from Tami's very own brother, Andy Hillberry! It's one for the ages: call us, Ted Danson! . Engineer: Nathan G. .

Could it be..... SATAN??? Nothing like a 30 year old reference to start a podcast description, am I right? This week Amie and Tami tackle their own anxiety demons while discussing the possessions that have kept them up at night. Did Roland (Ronald?) Doe have a shitty aunt, or was a Ouiji board to blame? And was the Smurl family possessed by something other than a terrible last name? All this and more while Tami drinks some juice that was POSSESSED by alcohol, and Amie sips some post-exorcism juice. This podcast.... is clean. (I end the way I open; deal with it...) . Engineer: Nathan G. .
