In this minisode, you may have a harder time guessing the next topic as we talk about highway ghosts and a freakish face off (literally). First, Chris tells the strange story of a woman travelling down the highway who sees a man walk into traffic, only to disappear into thin air. Then, Cody shares an even more bizarre tale in which a woman kills her daughter, removes her scalp, and wears it in an effort to attract her son-in-law. Can you guess next week’s topic?
Episode 105 – Witch, Please
In this Halloween episode, Cody and Chris go all OG and dive into witches, and it’s super fascinating. First, Cody talks about Mother Shipton, the female Nostradamus who could cause chamber pots to empty on men’s heads. Then, Chris shares a story (from an old book he loved) about a man who takes flight with some naked witches. Next, Cody discusses the witches of Abiquiu, New Mexico, which turned into the last known witch trials in North America. Finally, Chris talks about the witches of Trasmos, the one region of Spain excommunicated by the Catholic Church for witchcraft. Creep of the Week is an amazing witchy story by Lern. Drinks this week are Wicked Cranberry Cider and a Chris original.

Then, Jethro shares a story where another group of girls contact a spirit who spews out Heart lyrics that become ominously relevant later.

Finally, Chris gets into a true Ouija experience in Spain that was the basis for the horror movie, Veronica. Creep of the Week is a game that Cody plays with our guests. Drinks this week are Game Day Bud Light, Voodoo Ranger, and NA Sangria.

Minisode 68 – Voyeurs & Vixens
Valentine’s Day is the second worst commercialized holiday (after Christmas), and we’re celebrating it with some “love” stories (guess who wrote that sentence). First, Cody tells us about a strange tradition where a family listens outside a honeymoon suite to, um, doobers. Then, Chris talks about an ancient Egyption papyrus that, once translated, revealed an ancient erotic binding spell. These stories may be a little more obvious, but maybe not. You tell us!

Minisode 66 – New Queer’s Resolutions III
Happy New Year! Once again, we are bringing you our year in review. Chris (intentionally) didn’t prepare for this one, so Cody asked all the questions, and it’s a really fun time! Like before, we discuss our favorite episodes of the year, favorite moments, future hopes, and of course, resolutions. We also introduce a few new tidbits, like the most listened to episodes of 2020. The results are actually going to affect the new year. It’s a classic case of learning from your past and living in the present. Have a great one, everyone!

First, Chris talks about Salyut 7, a Soviet space station, and the bright encounters that the crew members all witnessed. Then, Cody shares three short stories, one with phantom bodyguards, that have a common golden thread. Can you guess next week’s topic?
