Ok ok, we lied. We didn't break up. BUT! We wanted to prepare you for this episode all about friendship breakups which can hurt really bad! Sometimes worse than a romantic one! We were able to interview some bar patrons for this episode and they tell us some of their worst friend breakup stories. Some were betrayals, some were a classic case of ghosting without any explanation. Either way, they are hard and we appreciate everyone who opened up to us. And again, sorry for pranking everyone but maybe don't be so gullible?! We are bff4e ok?

Every town has one of them. The whimsical house covered in signs reading “Psychic Readings”, “Palm Reader”, and “Walk ins Welcome”. Have you ever wondered if they are legit? Well we have and we went to one so you don’t have to! We went to our very own neighborhood's fortune teller and she gave us some things to think about to say the least. In this episode, we talk about our ....strange...experience going to a psychic. She read our auras, our tarot and more!

October is our favorite time of year and what better way to enjoy it than with a new ✨spiritual ✨buddy.

It’s the end of September which means it is our last STI September episode. Listen as we talk about a few experiences from people diagnosed with HSV 1/2 aka Herpes. Plus, we goofin about random things like cigars, dental dams, and cheaters. And remember, 1 out of 3 people reading this has herpes—and that’s okay! Your love life is NOT over and you are still a bad bitch. Don't forget it!

As you know, it is STI September! In this episode we are going in on the HIV epidemic of the 80s and exploring how badly it was handled. Not t0 mention how common it is and the stigma against the LGBTQ + community because of it. Plus, we talk about our night out which includes karaoke, creepy men, and the new little moon earth has acquired. Listen up and give thanks to the Harvest!

Welcome to Season 3!! That's right! We're back and better than ever, babies. This month of September is all about STIs and de-stigmatizing such a common thing! Today we talk about HPV, colposcopies, male gynecologists (they're weird, right?!) and finally we bring back our hexins and blessins series. You don't want to miss this! Get your speculum ready and open up to our first episode of thank you so much season 3!!!

It's another week of friends and on this episode we interview none other than Langston Alimayu! Langston is a good friend of the pod AND happens to be Kirsten's partner. We ask them about their childhood, their art, and we talk musicals. Plus listen to us recount our trip to Joshua Tree and the lesbian bees that came with it. Hate us or join us!

It's a brand new month and we are talking about FRIENDS! That's right! We will be interviewing our friends, family, and loved ones all this month. Our first "friend" is Ally's partner Kadar! Learn all about how this Santa Monica native grew up, what he's up to now, and how he invented the pepperoni trifecta. Listen to the very end where we close out with one of his most popular songs! Hate us or join us!

Welcome to our last episode of drug month! This episode is all about bath salts. I'm sure we all remember that one guy who turned into a zombie in Florida, but what exactly are bath salts and why do people do them? We also talk about Justin Timberlake's recent mishap and bring back an oldie but goodie segment: Let's get deep! Hate us or join us, and stay tuned to see what next month has in store!

We couldn’t talk about drugs without giving our natural gurlies some justice so on this week’s episode we’re doing a lil peyote and ayahuasca and by “doing” we mean “talking about”. Even though these drugs are technically legal if they are included in your religious rituals. But first we get a little hexy and blessy. IKYK

MDMA, or "Molly" has always been around as the "rave drug". But what is it and when did this popular pill really hit the scene? Listen to us discuss our old rave days, and learn more about what makes Molly the ultimate dancing drug! Again, we do not do ANY drugs, but our imaginations and dreams say otherwise. Wait for the drop and join us for this week's episode!

Listen up, everyone! We’re not, like, by any means, advocating for any illicit drug use here. We’re just curious, and think y’all might be too. We’ve all heard the lore of Coca-Cola being laced with cocaine at the turn of the last century. But let’s go deeper. And also talk about what we might have done if we tried it. Even though we never would because it is illegal. We present you, this week, thank you so much for: cocaine.

It's a new month which means we have a new topic. June is all about DRUGS! And the first drug we're learning about is LSD or "Acid" as it's normally called. Listen to us talk about the history of how it was discovered, the shady shit the US government was doing with it, and our own experiences. Which...we don't have any experiences because we DO NOT do drugs but if we DID try acid...we imagine what it would be like. Hate us or join us as we kick off the first episode of Pride Month! Happy pride, girlie pops!

For our last episode on MLM's, we decided to dive into the wild world of essential oils. We go back into the man behind Young Living Essential Oils, Gary Young's past and it probably isn't what you think! Listen to us yap and see who we are 'Hexin' & Blessin'' in today's episode! Stay tuned for next week's episode as it starts our brand new category in the month of June. Can you guess what it could be? Hate us or join us!

Can you believe it’s been a year since we started this podcast? We’re so excited to have brought you 43 episodes this past year. We talked doulas, we talked occult, animal sex, polyamory, horror, astrology... the list goes on and we have way more where that’s coming from! Tune in this week as we reminisce and answer some of your burning questions. And while you’re listening we have a question for you—what do you want to see us talking about in our next year?TW: domestic violence, loss of a parent(If you or someone you know is struggling with domestic violence, get help. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-7233)

As you know, this month is all about MLMs. Well, did you know there are MLMs within 0nly f4ns?! That’s right. This week is a tell all with our special guest, Rose La Reine. We talk about shady OF creators, how to get your online presence poppin, and we even go a little bit into the Drake and Kendrick beef everyone is talking about. Buckle up! This week we are bearing all!

Its the month of May. May starts with M which means, yep, you guessed it! This month is all about MLMs! This episode is specifically about Cutco. I'm sure we all have a cutco story, but did you know they prey on young kids to sell their knives? Sure, they are good knives! No one is arguing that. But for $2k? Get out of here! Listen to us be yappers while we discuss the Cutco multilevel marketing scheme that is ran by Vector Marketing. Hate us or join us? (but not in an mlm way)

we’re at it again. call this the third episode on witchcraft, call it the first on Wicca. whatever you wanna call it, we’re bringing you back to the occult and wrapping up our month on religion. Wicca is what we’d like to call a Pagan religion. and by we, we mean everyone because it is a Pagan religion. but not all Pagans are Wiccans. you get it, right? Wiccans come from Pagan roots and there are some neat beliefs and Sabbats to discuss. i bet you guys knew that Halloween came from Pagan roots, but did you know Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving all incorporate Pagan traditions too? oh, also we broke our streak and missed you guys last week but don’t at us okay, we’re only HUMAN!

The Scientology building looms over the end of Ally’s street and we’ve talked about doing an investigative episode about Scientology from the beginnings of this podcast. Originally we were going to try to take a look inside, but the more we learned about it the more that seemed like a bad idea. Then one day a couple of weeks ago, Ally met a guy in a squirrel costume standing outside of the building with signs. He’s a professional protester who lives in a van painted “Scientology is a Cult” and this week we interviewed him to find out why.

Satanism, it's really not about devil worship. No really, we swear, and you don't have to take our word for it. This week we talk about modern Satanism from Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan to the even more modern Satanic Temple. It's a movement, an ideology, and the ultimate way to troll organized religions! Listen every Friday this month as we talk about different religions you may not know much about! Hail Satan!..?

We never expected to have less reproductive rights than our mothers did 50 years ago, but here we are, in the year of our lord, 2024 where it's illegal to have abortions in our home states of West Virginia and Indiana. As women’s month comes to a close, we wanted to rant…I mean DISCUSS the history of abortion access and what’s happening with it today. Don’t expect this episode to be an unbiased, fact based episode (although there are some factoids for the nerds). No, we are very much on one side of this debate and we have passionate feelings when talking about our right to choose. Hate us or get mad with us for this week's episode!TW: r*pe, pregnancy, ab*rtions, etc.

did you know that feminism isn’t just about giving women equal rights? it’s about advocating for inclusivity, social justice, and equity for all marginalized communities. okay, we see the irony here, two white girlies telling you it’s time to make way and give a voice to underrepresented groups in feminist theory, but we couldn’t not talk about it for women’s month. so, step aside “boss babes “ and make way for inclusivity for all—which is what feminism is all about anyway, right?

you asked for it and were delivering—women's history and politics as told by Kirsten & Ally. this episode we're dishing out some hot takes on current events in the media and we talk about some ladies in history that you maybe haven't heard about, but probably should!

we’re all movie critics here in LA and it IS women’s day after all so we’re talking about THE test to determine if a movie is feminist or not. you’d think these days in the wake of fourth wave feminism we’d have no problem finding movies that pass it but to our surprise, this definitely isn’t the case. we also talk about where it came from and why it’s not like that serious of a test guys! hate us or join us this week for episode 9 and let us know if your favorite movie passes the bechdel test!

It’s the first episode of March and what better way to honor the month than to talk about all things women! We are specifically talking about ADHD in women, which—shocker here—is not just “where’s my phone?”and “oh shit I’m running late.” We answer questions like why are women diagnosed so late in life and what is different about their symptoms? Listen to us talk about our own experiences and some research on girlies with ADHD. We touch just the tip of the iceberg with this episode and would love to hear more from you guys. Are you neurospicy or do you think you might be? Dm us after you listen!

sexual kinks. we all have them to some degree, but just how unusual are yours? in this last episode relating to love, we dig deep into the world of unusual kinks. some of them you may have heard of, but some of them may be new and shocking to you. plus, we talk about our submitted listeners' kink stories and experiences. beware: we talk a lot about bodily fluids and functions. and yes, of course we talk about human egg laying.

as you know, February is all about LOVE. for that reason, we thought it would be appropriate to have both of our significant others on for a special valentines day episode. listen us talk about how we met, our opinion on Taylor Swift, and what it's like being in an interracial relationship. don't worry, there is also a newly wed game where we battle it out. which couple knows each other best? listen to find out!

is love real or is it all in our heads? find out in this episode if it is possible to see when someone is in love. we dive into what goes on in your brain, how to keep the romance alive, and we may even take a break to talk about a...different kind of ...head. hate us or join us as we get lost in the romantic vibes of february.

this months theme is LOVE and we are kicking off february with a topic we’ve visited before, polyamory! but this time we sat down with friend of the pod, Tori to talk about her experience dating as a queer woman in the poly world of LA. listen as she comes to a fairly recent realization about what she wants out of life, and what has changed her mind about ethical non-monogamy. this is a deep one, guys! love is ever so complicated 🩷

this one is for the REAL fans not the FAKE fans. listen to Kirsten do what she does best (which is to interview if you didn’t already know). Interviewing Ally and her little bro to be exact. there will be game shows. there will be family secrets. and most of all there will be good laughs and crips popping of cold ones.

this months theme is all about FAMILY. so why not kick it off with the most family thing you can do? keep your family’s blood line going strong by inbreeding, of course! that’s right, folks! we’re talking about incest! we are just two curious girlies wondering why it happens, why it’s a taboo, plus we explore some famous families known for their incest and inbreeding. come in with an open mind and buckle up, everyone! season 2 of thank you so much is here!

something we ALWAYS think about right before the holidays is of course, the Bermuda Triangle. we’ve all heard of it, but why hasn’t anyone talked about the doom that lies beneath in a while? well, that’s what we found out in our research for this weeks episode! is it science? or is it some white dude inventing his own explanation out of thin air (literally)? thats for us to find out!

It's kind of like if sleep paralysis meets sleepwalking meets teleportation. Makes sense? It didn't really make sense to us either so we dug a little deeper into the world of astral projection, or Out of Body experiences (OBE) as some people describe it. We're not really sure what to think but there are many a tale of frolicking the world consciously and "invisibly". Let's talk about it.

Okay, friends. Our last episode was uploaded on Oct 31. It is now Nov 22. We’re well aware. We’ve been MIA and you know why??? It’s the damn daylight savings blues and we’re FEELING. IT. We haven’t stopped recording for you guys though and it’s about time we come back with an episode. While we were gone, you could maybe have seen us at the abode kindling the beginnings of our coven rituals. As you can see from the Instagram photo those are these hands practicing ✨magic✨. What better way to regain control when the world feels empty and meaningless? So yes, we’ve been dabbling in a little bit of the mag (pronounced madge, rhyming with vag, intentionally) and it’s working? Anyway, you can now listen to us explain a lil more about what we’re learning about in the world of the occult. Join us as we continue the saga of our baby witch journey. Also, we just decided season 2 starts in January. Tell us what you’d like to hear for season 2??

was it a man? was it a moth? was it… a baby demon? this week marks our last episode of spooky season and we wanted to talk about CRYPTIDS! if you don’t know what a cryptid is, they are monster folklore from different areas where people claim to see human-like creatures causing chaos and destruction. listen as we tell some scary stories about monsters in different states around the US. are they real? or just lore? that is for you to decide!

ever thought about how independent horror films are made? a girl in a cheerleader uniform gets chopped in half. a group of teenagers breaking into their school at night get plucked one by one and slaughtered by a monster with a chainsaw. how do they get it to look real? where do they find people who are willing to be dismembered on camera? how does one make a fake pig mask? and how the hell do they fund it? our friend Missy—producer, director, and pig girl for a slew of independent horror films shot in the 2010s—comes on and tells all. she answers these questions and more. we've got some craaazy kills to talk about. stay tuned to the end to listen to a fun conversation game.

Most of us know by now it isn't an evil deck of cards with intentions of cursing those who dare to handle them. They've been used by occultists and lay people alike for centuries all over the world and for many different purposes. Listen to us dip our toes into the magical world of tarot. We talk a little bit o lore and a little bit o what these cards mean and end with giving each other some readings. Be sure to stay tuned to the very end for a spooky story.References:⁠Llewellyn's Complete Book of Tarot: A Comprehensive Guide⁠⁠The Modern Witchcraft Book of Tarot: Your Complete Guide to Understanding the Tarot

boil boil toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble! the witch as we see her in media is a decrepit, ugly, hunchback lady with a crooked, warty nose who eats children and conjures evil spells. but that isn’t all true, and we’re here to talk about it! we blame the patriarchy for painting witchcraft in a negative light. as we kick off the first episode of spooky season, we dive into all things witchcraft including the history, starting a coven, and why witchy girlie pops always get a bad rep. sit back, cast your favorite spell, and join us as we get spooky. plus! don’t miss the creepy story at the end from one of our listeners! happy spooktober!! 🎃Source Links:Witchy history

If you're in LA, if you're in your 20's or 30's and especially if you are those two things and ALSO queer you've been around a fair amount of astrology talk. Mercury retrograde. The big three. Planets in houses. We must confess in light of this, we still have to look up our Sun/Moon/Rising sometimes. That's where our special guest comes in. Listen to our interview with our friend Elizabeth Tzagournis, who spent much of the pandemic researching and learning the ins and outs of astrology. We talk planets, we talk houses, we talk retrogrades, and we also get a little reading of our own.

ahhh... personality tests. it’s always “you’re emotionally vulnerable and self isolating.” and never, “you’re an emotionally vulnerable hottie with a phat ass.” amirite? even so, we love taking them. we love being able to define our traits and put order to the madness inside our minds. today we continue a subject we started talking about last week: archetypes and specifically how they connect with personality. we talk more about our buddy Carl Jung, who has a lot of research out there about personality. and we discuss our own results on a very popular online personality test. tune in! linked is the test we took, so you can take it too! and tell us your results because you know we gotta know.for further investigations:16 Personalities TestCarl Jung research:Psychological Types by Carl JungCarl Jung Personality Types by Fiona RossCarl Jung’s Theory Of Personality: Archetypes & Collective UnconsciousFreud and the Oedipus Complex:Oedipus complex: psychology (Encyclopedia Britannica)Revisiting Freud’s Oedipus Complex in Girls by Fatima AdenwallaThe Big 5 and the MBTI:The Big 5 Facets and the MBTI

dreams. we all have them, but do we all remember them? sometimes your dreams come to you as a sign with a deeper meaning, and sometimes they are just straight up random and crazy. ever wonder why punching someone in a dream feels like punching underwater? what about learning how to lucid dream? we go into all that and more in this episode dedicated to the dream world of our subconscious mind. is it another dimension or is it just thoughts that our brains make up? the world may never know. tune in, girlie pops! and float away into dreamland with us.have an interesting, weird, funny, dream you'd like to share? email us at [email protected]

this is an especially IYKYK situation, but do y’all remember when Alice from the L word made that whole queer web of girlzz in LA that had dunnniit together? and it was intricate but shed light on connections that weren’t too far from home for her & the main crew? many groups of friends probably have a similar map of love about them. and in the world of polyamory there’s a whole glossary of terms to describe these relationships. so we decided it needed to be talked about. and then also we interviewed our bestie and listener from day one about her experiences in the polyamory world. listen to part one in likely a three part serious about, you guessed it: POLYAMORY BABYY.If you wanna see the whole glossary of terms, here's the website:Ready for Polyamory

Let's set the scene: you're in your parent's basement listening to Grateful Dead with your buds and the couch is breathing. Or maybe you're in your dorm room finger painting with a towny and you go out for a cigarette in the rain and your acquaintance comes up with a clear umbrella and the raindrops are dripping in such a way that you feel they KNOW something.
