It's another accidental 2-parter! Which, honestly? Emily and Ky should have seen coming. The 1987 proto-Pixar animated masterpiece, The Brave Little Toaster, probably deserves its own season! Is the relationship between the household appliances and the little boy they love so much...appropriate? Does Ky just have dirty mind? Why isn't the refrigerator sentient? How much do library cards cost? Oh yes. They talk about libraries a lot in this one. Because they're important! Do YOU have your library card? What are you even doing?? Go get one! And then watch the Brave Little Toaster! Which is mysteriously available for free, with no ads, all in one video, on Youtube, but NOT on Disney Plus! Does anyone know whats up with that??

It's our last SpoOoOoOoky Season Episode, and we are going out with a bang! Emily and Ky are joined by not one, not two, but...two and a quarter(?) special guests: Emily's sister Alexis, and Emily and Ky's dear friend, and beautiful ageless swordfish, Megan, and an additional disembodied voice wearing a dinosaur-print button-up all chime in for a round table discussion of the 1986 classic train wreck, The Worst Witch! The writing may be abysmal, the special effects cringe-worthy, and the plot resolved in two minutes, BUT, there's a five-minute green-screen song and dance number with Tim Curry in Isis wings, so all in all, it's a must-see. Don't miss Ky stepping into her judging corner early, Emily, Ky and co's business plan for a bachelor party bait and switch, or their mini-review of the ABC family hit show, The Secret Life of the American Teen-ager! It just might be our spookiest, and most unhinged, episode yet! Side note: toward the end, we mention the possible need for a content warning, but ultimately, we cut the stuff that it might have been needed for. Apologies if the overall effect is that we're making light of content warnings. Content warnings are good, and important!

Emily and Ky are continuing their tour of weird vhs tapes Emily used to get from her small town library, as well as their obsession with Donald Fucking Duck with these spooky season shorts! And how appropriate are both of these topics for the 25th episode of Wine, Weed Weird??? Our little baby podcast has been listened to 400 times, and we are wildly grateful to whoever out there is down for our weirdness in America, Australia, Germany, Canada, and more! So, what is literally anything that is going on in "Duck Pimples", starting with the title? Did the bracelets turn into crackers? Are pearl handcuffs kinky? If a gorilla is in your house, why would you not just leave? When did Donald's house get so big? Why is this gorilla so angry? This shit is unhinged. Ky literally can't even handle it. Emily is strangely unperturbed. There is no fact-checking, because that's Ky's job, and she's just trying to keep up. So maybe you can tell us what's up with the murderous gorilla trope? We'll just tell you the myriad ways this shit is weird!

Spooky season continues, and today we’ve got a classic Halloween song! Tiny content warning: Emily and Ky start the podcast halfway through singing a worship song with hand motions. If references to that sort of thing bring up painful memories for you, believe me, we get it. Just skip the first 30 seconds or so of this episode. You may think you know the “Monster Mash”. Ky sure thought she did! But prepare to have your world rocked because this one gets even weirder than they thought, and the fun backs are truly wild. Tune in while Emily and Ky paint a picture of a musical debut, an experiment gone awry, a sex party, and/or a variety show! It’s either the Halloween party we all wish we were going to, or the most awkward gig ever, but either way, we will definitely be doing the mash.

It's Spooky Season!!! Emily and Ky are beyond excited, and have put themselves in the same room with a pot of mulled wine (and a packed vape of course) to celebrate the season with their favorite weird, spooky stuff! To kick things off, they're inviting you to a Frolic with Disney's take on the Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Ichabod Crane, part two of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (why don’t the characters appear in order of billing? We cannot know!) Ichabod's a weird character, but also apparently a settler sex symbol. Bron Bone's name seems simple, but turns out to be near impossible to say consistently. And Katrina? Ok, we blame her for a lot. Get your candy corn, carve a pumpkin, and get ready for all your favorites: Emily and Ky poorly singing songs from the movie, Ky's judging corner, unrelated ballet trivia, talking donuts, and more!

Emily’s dusting off that English degree because she and Ky are breaking new ground on the podcast this week by talking about a book! Got a copy? Follow along! The illustrations are incredible. Find out which character Emily relates to the most, explore the relationship between the only characters with more than one line of dialogue, ponder the confusing messages regarding appropriate daytime and nighttime activities, and the importance of punctuation. And of course, Ky’s back in her judging corner! Go, Dog. Go! And listen to this episode!

Emily and Ky are putting on their science hats! Because there’s nothing weirder than how animals do it! Except for maybe how humans do it, but that’s a whole other episode. Join them on an exciting odyssey (odd-yssey…see what I did there??) into a world of sneaky cuttlefish, violent bees, over-achieving cats, and sooooo many animals who fuck around, and find out! Are their facts correct? Uh, mostly! They think! Who cares! You’re here to have fun!

So not only is it another remix episode, it's also our 20th episode! Whaaat!!! Of course, Emily and Ky are still stuck on their good pal, Donald Duck. They've even cooked up some conspiracy theories about him! You won't want to miss Emily over-explaining her ironic instagram art, or Ky attempting to recite a few extra digits of pi. It's the most fun you've ever had learning about math! Or at least, we're allegedly learning about math. Does it qualify as math if you just point out how shapes are involved? You be the judge!

Someday, this podcast will have fan merch, and the first shirt Emily and Ky offer will just be covered in w’s, but the second one will say something like “Let Donald Duck Chill” as long as they can do that without being sued because, damn, he is a friend of the pod, and the ultimate weirdo, and he is so clearly being set up at all times. Is this video about Donald Duck? No! Is Donald Duck the narrator? No! Is he inexplicably and utterly unnecessarily still in it as an incompetent artist, and doctor who dispenses giant golden keys that are a metaphor for birth control? Yes! Disney is at it again with a simultaneously progressive and wildly sexist, at times surprisingly disturbing, always incredibly vague video about…family planning. Are you ready? Probably not, but let’s go! Oh yeah, did I mention this is the REEEEEEMIIIIIX episode? Emily’s a little drunk, Ky’s a little high, and they both have a lot to say about Texas’ bullshit abortion law. That is, if they can remember if they announced the topic yet.

Emily and Ky love octopuses, because they are fucking weird, and cool as shit. If they could interview an octopus for the podcast, and I don’t mean like if an octopus could talk, I mean if they could get themselves in the presence of an octopus with sufficient service or WiFi to record, and talk to it and about it for an hour, they totally would. And that would probably be their most popular episode. But they can’t. So the next best thing is this episode about the surprisingly controversial Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher. You won’t want to miss Emily getting all fired riled about how much this guy sucks, or Ky hopping into her judging corner to introduce us to pterodactyl porn! Here’s the link to the article Emily kept referencing. Have fun! https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-39/reviews/my-octopus-girlfriend/ On a related note, do you, or does anyone you know work in an aquarium with an octopus in its collection? Send us a message!

We're back! Did you miss us? Of course you did! So we've got a real treat for you: did you know that murder mystery parties are a thing? You could have one literally anytime! How does one throw a murder mystery party? How much does it cost? How much work is it?? Well, lets just say, it's a lot like starting a podcast...so of course Emily and Ky have been there, done that, and got the stories! And of course, it wasn't enough to just find a random free script and invite all their friends. They also had to take over a random G train for a few hours! So, was it weird? What do you think? Get ready for an extra dose of giggling as they discuss the Lord, the Peasant, and the little engine...that could kill!

Dive back under the sea with Emily and Ky as they continue their coverage of two more episodes of Sponge-Bob, and explore important character dynamics. What is the dichotomy between Sponge-Bob and Squidward? Is Plankton an Aquarius? What laws govern bodily fluids in the sponge universe? Is every villain lemons?? You won’t want to miss the cat cameos, or the Sponge-Bob swears discourse! Get it in your ear holes!

Emily and Ky are back in person to report on this seminal work, the man, the myth, the sponge: Sponge-Bob Squarepants! And they don't have to tell you, it's weird! What laws govern the sponge universe? Was Sponge-Bob adopted? Was Glove World...really supposed to be Glove World? What does all this have to do with Emily's hygiene habits in the shower? This special episode features zero fact-checks, but a bunch of stuff that Emily and Ky heard somewhere that may or may not be true! You won't want to miss Emily and Ky talking about (and to) Ky's cat Captain! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? You do, mother fucker!

It's been a while since Emily and Ky discussed a song, and this one's a DOOZIE! Are the Shaggs an all-female proto-punk rock band who needs to be on your radar...or just some unfortunate teens under duress who cannot wheel time signatures? Can they be both? Was this song written specifically so a couple of inebriated weirdos could emphatically discuss it fifty years later? Is this band composed of sea-dwellers? What kind of a name is Foot Foot?? There's a lot to cover. You're welcome.

Buckle up! Emily and Ky are delving deep into their personal history (and revealing more details for your string-and-pin boards in your basement) to share with you the weirdest school assembly speakers they can remember! You won't want to miss Ky's musical stylings, Emily's high school accidentally teaching her being drunk is fun, or their tips for having fun drug-free fun in a small town! Do they spend the first ten minutes just talking about trying to be normal humans again after lock down? Absolutely! Tune in for your weekly helping of Mona Lisa sewage!

Join Emily and Ky as they discuss a weird video about a sobering topic while of course, not being sober. Is Walt Disney’s head cryogenically frozen? Do Huey, Dewey, and Louie take turns sleeping in the middle? How high of a window could you drop your cat out of in an emergency, and would putting them in a laundry hamper first help? Just kidding, Emily and Ky have better fire safety plans now, and so should you! Don’t ask your grandkids for fire safety help; ask your fire department maybe? And then tweet your plans @WineWeedWeird! Also photos of your front yard lampposts!

Put up your snake arm! It’s never too late to learn how to handle bullies (and/or gang members??), but it’s definitely too late for those pleated front pants…or maybe not? Emily’s girlfriend has a pair! And when you're recording in the past, can you ever know which episodes have the least listens?? As usual, we’ve got more questions than answers. Put some candy in your pocket, grab a magazine, and come along as Emily and Ky learn how to be street smart! Bully Smart is wildly weird, but maybe not as weird as school...or men!

We're back for part 2 of our first two-parter about the non-stop wild ride that is Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue! Which is also our 10th episode!!! When we left off, we were discussing crack pipes, and Bugs Bunny impersonating an officer, and shit only gets weirder from there. You won't want to miss the criminally negligent ninja turtle, brain roller coaster, or Cora losing all her toys and room decor in one fell swoop! This anti-drug propaganda is pretty absurd, hilarious, and insulting to all our intelligence, but that doesn't mean drugs never cause any problems. If you want to change your relationship to a drug, and are struggling to, it's ok! Talk to someone you trust, and ultimately, consult a medical professional with experience in addiction. There are lots of great options out there to help you live a healthier, happier life.

Buckle up! It's part one of our first ever two-parter! OF COURSE we have a lot to say about this president-approved, corporation-cooperation fueled anti-drug propaganda piece from the late '80's/early '90's! Like, how very punk we are, and how Frosty the Snowman is probably about crack!  This shit is wildly hilarious, but also we have to talk about how much fucking money went into teaching everyone that drugs are evil incarnate, and how that allowed the state to get away with locking up (mostly black and brown and/or poor) people for non-violent crimes for DECADES. The war on drugs did SO much harm, and propaganda pieces like this video were a huge part of it. Fuck that, and fuck Bush Sr, and his wife (who may or may not be named Barbara). Laugh your ass off with us, but afterward, make sure you're fighting for the end of prohibition, prison reform, police abolition, and reparations. Here's a link for you to learn more from smarter people than us: https://drugpolicy.org/issues/mass-criminalization Also, for fucks sake, go get vaccinated! What are you even doing???

Our special guest, Steph-Steph the Best-Steph is back to confront the real issues of our day: academia, where babies come from, and 80's-inspired rock opera! You won't want to miss our blistering commentary on abortion, religion, sex, and, oh yeah, this weird song called "Dumpster Baby" by John Maus! Heads up! It's our first giveaway!!! Do you listen to our podcast from a country that is not the good ol' (actually pretty fucked up, RIP) U S of A? Follow us on twitter, and rate and review us on apple podcasts or wherever you listen that lets you do that, and contact us some type of way (we recommend [email protected], or a twitter dm to @wineweedweird), and if you're the first to do so, you'll get a CUSTOM WORK OF ART by Steph-Steph the Best-Steph! You can also give her a follow on the gram: @lynnearartstudio.

Get excited for this very special episode featuring our very first guest: real live artist, and alleged Alaska-expert, Steph-Steph the Best-Steph is joining us to talk about the one, the only, Bob Ross! How much to we actually talk about Bob Ross? You'll have to listen to find out! You won't want to miss our philosophical gymnastics, and touching childhood stories. Follow Steph-Steph the Best-Steph @lynnearartstudio, and if you're our Mysterious Canada Listener, leave us that voice memo to claim your original painting!

Emily and Ky are doing something a little different today: it's not a song, it's not a movie, it's an important piece of inspirational history! Get ready for the story of Roy Cleveland Sullivan, aka, Saint Sully, who was struck by lightning seven times and lived! You won't want to miss our shout-out to our mysterious Canada listener, or us failing to math! Put on your rubber-soled shoes (we think?), read along on the Wikipedia page, and prepare to be amazed. The world is a weird place, y'all!

We're paying tribute to one of the founding fathers of rock-and-roll's only number one hit in the U.S.! It's "My Ding-a-ling" by Chuck Berry, and yep, it's weeeiiird!!! In an uncomfortable way. Tune in for the most awkward episode of Wine Weed Weird yet! You won't want to miss our double fact-check, or our first special guest cameo!  And guess what! We're on apple podcasts now! So get over there, and give us those 5-star ratings and reviews so everyone else can find us!

Finally! Ky and Emily have been looking forward to digging into this absolutely bizarre attempt to make religion fun for...ok, I guess about two weeks now. It’s still a new podcast. Tune in as we extend Ky’s Judging Korner to the whole episode (because asparagus suck at parenting), do our best to avoid the minefield that is our Christian upbringing, and reckon with our first exposure to the horrors of capitalism! It’s a long one. We had a lot to cover.
