This Folie a Deux Bull&@!#?!
We’re gonna be straight with you: this subject matter ended up being more "infuriating bullshit" than "fun bullshit." We invite you to listen as Stacie peeks behind the curtain of the folie a deux phenomenon, and the hosts also put forth a surprising theory on the origin of “your mom” jokes.

Customer Reviews
Good fun!
This podcast is such good fun! The hosts are hilarious and the topics are eclectic. Give this one a listen!
This podcast is an inside job
I’m pretty confident that the Illuminati or the Freemasons created this podcast so that they could seem so ridiculous that anything else they do would be normal in comparison. THAT’S the conspiracy here.
No but seriously, I haven’t had this much fun since I met Sasquatch at the Denver Airport. True story. This podcast made me laugh, reflect, and find the inner believer inside my soul.
The hosts are nothing short of fantastic, and they only get funnier as you go. I recommend keeping up to date, because you won’t want to miss a single episode! If you like comedy, conspiracies, cryptids, and fun, this is the podcast for you. If not, you’re a liar and you should listen anyway. You’ll become a believer, too. So strap on your tinfoil hat and hit play. You’re in for a ride.
Funny AND Informative??? Yes please!
Do you like weird conspiracies? Do you enjoy listening to weirdos talk about weird conspiracies? Then read on!
Ok, full disclosure, I personally know one of the podcasters, but I swear I’m not THAT biased. Honestly, this show cracks me up, and I fully believe that it would crack me up even if I had no clue who Stacie or Rachel were. AND, I now know more about Freemasons and Illuminati than I ever have, so it managed to teach me something new while making me snicker out loud AT THE SAME TIME! If you, too, would like to snicker and snort your way through interesting subjects like El Chupacabra, The Bermuda Triangle, and some dude named Jerry, all while admiring a deep and abiding understanding of English accents, this podcast is for you.
