    E379 A Never-ending Slumber Party and an ATWWD Bowling League

    It's episode 379 and we're experiencing technical difficulties and making big life announcements (Christine even screamed so loud she hurt her missing tooth)! Tune in to our intro for some surprise info and updates. Then we're digging into our audio vaults to share one of our earliest live shows: Houston, Texas in 2019! Em accidentally covers two stories involving the words "spaghetti" in the Spaghetti Warehouse (actually in Texas) and the Old Spaghetti Factory (not actually in Texas). Then Christine covers the wild case of Ana Trujillo, the Stiletto Killer. We're funny but not stupid... and that's why we drink!

    Listener Stories: Vol. 91

    YouTube! We're so sorry, yet again, about the weird glitch-lag. We promise we're working on fixing these mysterious lags but in the meantime the listener stories show must go on, even if the May stories aren't as important as our birthday month stories... oops, did we say that out loud?! Tune in this month for some fun, mystery themed stories including a current Starbucks arrest, a house haunted by a full body apparition of a burnt man and even a spooky little haunting at one of our live shows. We also reveal the name of our next brand new tour and share some medical intuition... and that's why we drink!

    We're so proud of our second book, coming out this September! Make sure to pre-order your copy today: bit.ly/hranextstop

A Paean to Trolls and Shifters

The Hircine Shifter

So funny, so cool

A breath of fresh air

When you’re drowning in fools

Like on Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet

She drinks boxed wine and has cute pets.

Gio, Moonshine and Juniper

And That’s Why We Drink

Cos we don’t have fur.

Em’s Team Milkshake and London Fogs

Co-wrote a bestseller but so nonchalant.

Stone Tape Theory is wackadoo

But Xiinon leaves behind green goo

Genius Gemini makes Escape Rooms

Snazzy Troll Holes for Sassy Clown moves.

This makes a great segue, or should I say segoo?

You won’t find Squonks or Afancs in zoos

Christine loves Em but Em hates Lemon;

Are petrified fruits allowed into heaven?

True crime and paranormal stories galore

And That’s Why We Drink

Cos we always want more!

Podcast darlings, with Eva’s help

Christine and Xandy read from Yelp.

Em’s not jealous though; it’s all good

Cos the Hircine Shifter’s here for good!

These people

I love these beautiful people and the wonderful (wonderfully awful?) stories they tell me every week. I wait patiently to listen on Monday instead of Sunday so I can enjoy the episode on the way too and then from work and bookend my day. Keep up the great work, but remember Gio is the real star. Love from Ireland

SarDuggs ,

Love it!

I’m in my final year in college and this podcast has been getting me through all the final essays and projects! Don’t think I could be making it through without listening in when I’m studying
