And That's Why We Drink

Goodbye, Australian listeners! In episode 17, Em and Christine butcher Australian accents while singing some #classic Australian tunes. They also discuss the Stanley Hotel, the very hotel that inspired Stephen King's The Shining, as well as the infamous Katherine Mary Knight, who may or may not have cooked her husband's head on the stove. And that's why we drink! 

"Lesbians, Incest, Murder, LET’S GO!” - Christine, trying to get you excited about her story. It's episode 16 and shit's gettin' real. Em gives an elementary school-style book report on the Lemp Mansion, which is haunted by the ghosts of suicide victims, horses, and beer. Oh, and it's run by a skeleton.  And sorry to all you scarf-people, but Christine's story about the Papin sisters might ruin scarves for you forever. There are also eyeballs involved. Lots of eyeballs. It's one of our creepiest episodes ever. BUCKLE UP! 

It’s episode 15, and Em and Christine TOTALLY know that, despite what they may or may not have said in the intro…  Listen, this episode is full of bad juju.We chat about the ghosts of St. Alban's Sanatorium and the disturbing tale of DeeDee & Gypsy Rose Blancharde. There’s a goat-headed man who shoves people down stairs, a haunted bowling alley with a suicide bathroom, and a doctor named BERNARDO FLASTERSTEIN. Honestly, what more do we need to say? 

"Meet us at the Monte V!" In this episode, Em tells Christine all about the haunted Hotel Monte Vista, which features a fun dude who hangs raw meat on the chandeliers and some ghosts that just wanna have a drink. Meanwhile, Christine brings down the mood with the disturbing story of Josef Fritzl and his underground prison. And that's why we drink...

Welcome to ep. 12! Em tells Christine about the "Chair of Death" and its super-dramatic owner, who happened to get hanged, tarred, and feathered in front of his own bar. Christine tells Em about Carl Tanzler, who decided that since his 21-year-old love interest didn't return his affections during her life, her corpse would have to live with him after her death. All in all, it's a barrel of laughs. And that's why we drink! 

Episode 11 features a haunted wine cabinet, AKA Christine's dream come true, as well as one of the creepiest unsolved mysteries in recent years - the case of Elisa Lam and the strange elevator surveillance video taken shortly before her death. Come hear Em rap Salt and Pepa and learn how to play the Elevator Game with us! And that's why we drink.

Meanwhile, Christine tells the story of the indestructible Michael Malloy, which includes a lot of drinking, snapping, and rat poison. Basically, this episode is a spin-off of Newsies. And that's why we drink!

Get ready because this one's a doozy. And that's why we drink.
