This is it, folks! After 5 years and an uncountable number of burps, Amie and Tami are signing off with this very special episode that brings us full circle.

We talk Maryli

We're falling apart! Everything from desk disasters to figuring out we're too old for mesothelioma, this week's 50 States of Ghosts on PENNSYLVANIA has us humbled. Amie takes us through the ghost-hustlin' and generically-named Hill View Manor where they nickel and dime you into the grave... and beyond! And Tami talks cancer-causing flame-proofing at the Clifton 5 Theater. Hey, if i

What's more macho than a loud-ass motorcycle? A loud-ass motorcycle blasting Footloose, of course! This week puts Tami's pregnancy hormones to the test when we discuss GHOST PETS!!!

Thank goodness this is a podcast, because we are SICK of seeing our own faces these days! Luckily we've got a new face to distract us with our first in a very long time guest, Kyla!

We are living our morals and we are MAD about it! This week is another Fifty States of Ghosts, and we're definitely not entirely sure where it is or how to say it. MISSOURI!

Happy New Year, Sad Old Bullshit! This week, we're rubbin' one out for GENIES! Tami literally does NOT understand the assignment and does some rather impressive Wikipedia research on the fly, and Amie reads through a variety of real life genie/jinn stories that cover everything from bullying bullies to a jinn that puts its complaints in writing. Look, the internet had a stroke this
