Monday Mar 29, 2021
Monday Mar 29, 2021
Emily and Taylor are joined by their awesome friend, Ret, who is there to be both witness to and cause of things getting...weird. Emily tells several stories of people who survive falling off of cruise ships, and Taylor gets religious (lol) with the near-death-experience story of Mary Neal. There's also a surprising amount of talk about if the movie Titanic were a porno. So. There's that. Enjoy!

Ep. 82: Feels Like Womb

We done switched steezes here, everyone. Emily's talking avalanches, and specifically a man who survived one very recently. Turns out--we don't like avalanches any more than we like tsunamis. Taylor went full true-crime, with the story of the abduction of Ben Ownby-- a boy whose rescue leads to the recovery of another victim as well--Shawn Hornbeck.
Our occasional co-host Kat is with us, and we neglect to mention it, but she has a great new podcast called Perfectly Marvelous, a watch-along pod about The Marvelous Ms. Maisel. Find it here: https://perfectlymarvelouspod.podbean.com/

Hello listeners!

After a harp noise, we do go on to decompress a bit about the events of last week, for anyone who gets ASMR out of hearing people bitch.

Emily and Taylor manage once again to be on similar wavelengths with their stories-- Emily tells the story of sisters Leslie Roy and Lee Wright, who survive a time stuck in the cold wilderness with some good spirit and ingenuity. Taylor tells the opposite of that-- David Coughlin and Raffi Kodikian, two men stuck in the desert who give into terrifying delusions of their own imminent death.

Ep. 77: Oh No...Oh No...

Monday Dec 14, 2020
DISCLAIMER: Hey all we are so happy to be back, and we hope, in the spirit of being reunited, you will forgive this little whoopsie. Emily's story is actually one we have covered on a previous episode. HOWEVER, it does have some more updated information, and because neither of us realized this at the time of recording...we treat it like a brand new story. Originally in episode 47, Em tells the story of Nikki Goeser, a stalking survivor turned guns-rights activist. Taylor, meanwhile, brings the story of Jacklyn H. Lucas, aka Mr. Immortal, who survived pretty much everything the military could throw at him.

It's our spooky ep, everyone! We've got our friend Lizz on this one for the first time! There's an attempt at making black vodka, there are tangents, and there are stories that err on the spookier side-- but really, at this point, what's spookier than other human beings? Nothing! Emily talks of a teacher who comes to believe her students are possessed by demons, and Taylor brings your the story of 2 families who survived being stalked by someone they called 'Restricted'.

Wednesday Oct 14, 2020
Happy 75th everyone! Is this the...diamond anniversary? I don't know and I refuse to look it up. This episode both has a bear and WAS a bear, so, we apologize for the tardiness, but we hope that you enjoy this episode. Taylor's got a bear story (because we just can't stop, I don't know what to tell you) that is truly insane-- so no skipping! And Emily tells the story of a heroic survivor of one of the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally of 2017. Please vote, and be good to each other.
