E109 A Tornado of Cuddles and an Extra Ab
Hey there, drunks and punks (go with us, we’re trying to make it happen)! Welcome to our smooth and goosebumpy sounds! We’re back in a re-styled studio with new mics and we’re feeling great, that includes Lemon. Per usual, we have some wild and spooky journeys to take you on today: Em brings us the brutal creepiness that is the Beast of Gévaudan (a french story that throws Em back to their high-school french class days) and Christine tells the crazy story of Evelyn Dick and the 1946 Torso Murder (so buckle up). Also, be prepared, Lemon makes his audio debut… and that’s why we drink!Please consider supporting the companies that support us!

Listener Stories: Vol. 26
Happy March, everyone! Did you know that knowledge is power and just because you're dead doesn’t mean your education has to stop? Today we learn that and more from listeners who tell us stories about their Harry Potter loving ghost friends, sibling soul swapping experiences, astral projection and whiskey- infused cemetery night terrors. We also learn about the haunted house of the former Canadian Prime Minister... and that's why we drink!Please consider supporting the companies that support us!

E108 The Kings of Banter and a Mummified Lemon
If this plane goes down, don’t tell our mothers we were in group 8! We were home from tour long enough to record this week and are already back on the road to the Pacific Northwest and FREAKING CANADA! We also catch up on topics from Valentine's Day to hot sauce to voodoo, so buckle up. We do eventually tell some epic stories from our favorite live shows that didn't initially get recorded including Dear David and the murder of Viola Drath, aka the inspiration for the upcoming "The Worst Marriage in Georgetown"!
We also introduce the newest member of the ATWWD family… a mummified lemon (named Lemon) Christine found under her bed in San Jose… and that’s why we drink! In Citrus and in Health!

E107 Ghostly Cat Toes and a Box-in-a-Box-in-a-Box
Odds are we’re currently in an airport, on an airplane, or in an airport again. That’s why we’re coming at you live from Phoenix, AZ, this week! Em covers the Jerome Grand Hotel, which is full of bearded ghosts, headless ghosts, and best of all, cat ghosts. The hotel is also inexplicably proud of its ancient elevator, but we’d advise against using it. Next up, Christine picks one of Arizona’s many female murderers, Wendi Andriano, whose terminally ill husband just wasn’t dying fast enough for her liking.

E106 The Worst Toy Story and an Empty Wine Stockpile
Do you see shadow people? Is there a ghost texting you? Does a witch crawl up your face and grab your teeth while you're in bed? Then you just might have sleep paralysis! Buckle up because today Em takes us through some truly horrifying stories of real life sleep paralysis. Meanwhile Christine brings us the extremely fucked up tale of the Postcard Killer, John Frank Hickey. And we reminisce about the past two years on our official podcast birthday! And that's why we drink!

Listener Stories: Vol. 25
Happy February, creeps and peeps (thank you, Margaret)! We’re in the month of love and we’ve got some spooky, glitchy, and mothman related stories for you. We’re also terrified of a ghost who drinks Jager and, you guys, we’ve got another 3am George Lopez story and we don’t know what to do about it. We think he might be a sleep demon. Thanks, kind of, we’re terrified… and that’s why we drink!Please consider supporting the companies that support us!

E103 Martian Beer Pong and Sweat Glands of the Hand
Guys. Our heads hurt. We’re time traveling again this week for Em’s second part in their series on Project Pegasus and our minds are sufficiently blown. Then things get dark real quick when Christine covers the story of the Bike Path Rapist, Altemio Sanchez. And we might be a little more telepathic than usual this week… and that’s why we drink!
