Wine, Weed, Weird!

We're back on our bullshit sound quality because Podcastle is such a bad podcasting service that even though we're giving them money, it only works some of the time. But fear not! We're switching hopefully before next week! In the meantime, Emily and Ky have a lot to say about silly muppets, high seas hijinx, and Grand Daddy Pirate, Long Tim Curry Silver! Featuring, reddit stories about being left at the altar, previews of future episodes about depression era criminals, and very little information about the plot of book the movie is based on.

Welcome to Wine, Weed, Weird! An Ohio pop culture history podcast! For today, anyway. Emily and Ky are full of fun facts about how this cute little bop of a song got written, recorded, orchestrated for a marching band, then captured the hearts of Ohioans everywhere, and got made official! Emily also has to share with you how delighted she was with her snowy walk, and Ky unravels the mystery of Iowa's state rock song! Ok actually, that mystery is just as deep as ever. Maybe next time! We're also coming at you with a bonus song: Schnappy Schnap(?), The German Christmas(?) Gator! Emily is making this up, but it sure sounds plausible! You CAN'T leave us a voice memo, but you sure can comment on our instagram, and enjoy the dulcet tones of Emily's fancy new microphone!

Are you ready to watch a documentary about competitive endurance tickling? Well, too bad, because that's not what this documentary is about. Are you ready to watch a documentary about tickling fetish content? You're not gonna believe this...well, if you're a loyal listener, of course you are! This documentary goes off the rails more or less immediately, and just continues in that direction until entire metaphorical towns are demolished. In the meantime, Emily and Ky are waiting for the competition to start, cuddling cats, considering what they would do for $1,000, and getting more and more class conscious all the time. Tickled is on Netflix, and yes, you have to see it.

It's 2025, and Emily and Ky are here with an episode with all your favorites: asmr snack crinkles, hot takes, cat cameos, tattoo speculation, and a very special belated Christmas gift! Bugs are weird little guys, and this documentary puts them in the spotlight for once. Experience classic pod fun facts from the bug's perspective, and empathize with old and young ants! Plus, Emily has an important update on character of the pod, Historical Buffoon Benjamin Franklin, and Ky tries a cordial cherry! It's short on sound effects, but high on...well, weed, obviously.

We're not late this week! But we are a little languid. Join Emily and Ky for a very chill New Year's post where they discuss how they spent New Year's Eve, Christmas, where Emily is now, and the only New Years song our hosts know of, "Auld Lang Syne". What does it mean? Where does it come from? What is its number in the folk music index? Wait, is Emily a dj now?? DJ Sloopy in the Hoooouuuuuuse!!!! Along with special guests Faith Hill, Billy Crystal, and Bob Dylan. New Year, new intro, same old Wine, Weed, Weird!
