33 - LuLaRoe / Espiral Vinho Verde

In a SHOCKING twist, Eliza did the research for this episode on the tasteless LuLaRoe MLM from the 2010s. If you like leggings that smell bad AND have dicks on them, LuLaRoe is the brand for you. But the clothes aren't just lacking basic decency - it was also a cult. Ruth joins us as a guest, and she will be back next week too. I promised Eliza she could have 6 months off doing research again. Want to email us about your cult experience?

32 - Weird Dreams & Ghost Stories / Stormalong Mass Appeal Hard Cider

Eliza is out this week so Ruth and I cover a topic she vetoed because she thought "nobody cares about other people's dreams." This week we talk about weird dreams and ghost stories. And we drink Stormalong Hard Cider, which is the absolute best cider you can get. Want to tell us a ghost story? Email us at DrinkWithMePodcast@gmail.com

31 - Bad Popes / Apothic Dark Red Wine

The pope wasn't always an ancient man wearing a silly hat. In the old days - the REALLY old days - popes were young, frequently insane, and liked to party hard. On today's episode, we're going through a greatest hits of Bad Popes and Anti-Popes, mostly from the medieval times. And we're drinking the blood of Christ - red wine.

30 - Holy Grail / La Croix Black Razzberry

We sincerely apologize for missing last week, so this week's episode is coming out a little early. Today's topic is the Holy Grail and King Arthur. We also talk about Nic Cage, who went on a grail quest recently. Next week's topic is Popes and Anti-Popes, and we are returning to our Thursday release schedule.

29 - Disappearances at National Parks / Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte

Something fishy is going on at the National Parks. And we're not talking about the bathrooms. We're talking about the disappearances. Thousands of people have gone missing within the parks, and many of the cold cases have strange circumstances surrounding them. On today's episode, we theorize on what could be to blame for the massive scale of missing persons at the National Parks. Is it the Skinwalkers? A wormhole to another dimension? A serial killer? Or is it perhaps...a giant bird? You be the judge. Want to email us stories of giant birds you saw? Email us at DrinkWithMePodcast@gmail.com
