And That's Why We Drink

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! Start your free wedding website and get $50 off your registry on Zola when you go to zola.com/wedrink Learn more about your ad choices.

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!

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.

Spirit of Christine, are you there? Scratch us with three claw marks if you want us to leave this kiddie pool of wine by your grave! In the last episode before we hit triple digits, Em covers reportedly the most haunted hotel in Great Britain, the Rams Inn of Gloucestershire.
