76 - A Lil Bit of Paranormal Convention Shenanigans

A Lil Bit of a NASCAR Therapy Session and Our Usual Political BS

Hosts Sandy and Kristy discuss why they feel “dead inside” this week: Kristy is overwhelmed by constant Northeast Texas allergies and jokes the only relief is being on a cruise ship, while Sandy is exhausted from keeping her grandbaby during a sleep regression and relies on Ms. Rachel to help. Sandy also rethinks her long-standing dislike of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch after seeing evidence of his kindness toward other drivers and his son, debates whether NASCAR drivers play “characters,” and shares strong opinions about Bubba Wallace. They then vent about political mailers, misinformation, entitlement, and frustration with current U.S. politics, discuss homelessness incentives in San Francisco, concerns about COVID and vaccines, and worries about Social Security. They end by mentioning TV shows they watch to unwind, describing vivid dreams, celebrating being debt-free, and sharing their email address. werelilbitdead@gmail.com

A Lil Bit of Bad Days & Boundary Wars

Sandy and Kristy chat about feeling “dead inside,” with Kristy describing recent financial stress and the hope of becoming 100% debt-free soon, plus her jewelry business unexpectedly taking off. Sandy shares a painful neck strain and Kristy recounts her truck being broken into after it was left unlocked, urging listeners to lock vehicles and not leave valuables or guns inside. They debate politics and media clips, complain about unprofessional politicians, discuss Spencer Pratt and California’s fire response, and argue that society rewards entitlement and avoids consequences, referencing the Duggar/Josh Duggar situation and “participation trophy” culture. They also discuss proposed copper-nickel mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters and the environmental tradeoffs of tech dependence, before ending with lighter talk about bras, “free boobin’,” and inviting listener emails. werelilbitdead@gmail.com

A Lil Bit of Mortuary Mishaps and Surprise Cousins With Guest Roddy Smith

Hosts Sandy and Kristy of A Little Bit Dead welcome longtime listener Roddy, a local embalmer/funeral director serving several counties, and share why they’re “dead inside” this week, including Mother’s Day chaos at a flower shop and growing a jewelry side hustle. Roddy discusses funeral home work, being on call, removals, embalming, working with families, and how services and cremation options are changing, plus bizarre incidents like fights and a gun threat at a viewing. The group swaps paranormal stories from older funeral homes, mentions spooky local locations like the Legacy building and City Hall, and floats hosting a future ghost hunt or “Paracon” in Hughes Springs. They also talk about COVID-era experiences, vaccines, Roddy’s brain surgery episode, family dynamics at funerals, local connections, and genealogy ties. Thank yu for listening!

A Lil Bit of Freedom of Speech

Hosts Sandy and Kristy chat casually about drinks and weekend plans, then dedicate the episode to the recent death of a classic country musician while reminiscing about concerts. They share positive personal updates, including a new job in the family and a small business expansion, before shifting into a frustrated rant about a recent motorsports incident. The conversation turns heavy as they discuss political polarization, media influence, and how public figures use “free speech” to justify extreme rhetoric, including reactions to a high-profile assassination attempt. They also touch on government spending, immigration, cultural and legal concerns in their state, self-defense and gun safety, parenting and kids’ online exposure, and end with brief paranormal app thoughts, relaxation techniques, and plugs for their businesses and podcast.

76 - A Lil Bit of Paranormal Convention Shenanigans

Sandy and Kristy debrief a small paranormal convention in Mineola, Texas, and agree it was equal parts fascinating, funny, and completely draining. They describe a guided investigation in an old building where the vibe turned strange fast—unexplained touches, unsettling shadows, and moments other people noticed too. Later, they encounter eerie temperature changes, quirky spirit-box “banter,” and the kind of activity that makes you question what’s imagination and what’s not. The next day brings tarot readings, a surprisingly emotional past-life style session, Bigfoot talk that’s more convincing than expected, and a psychic roundtable that leaves Kristy feeling seen about experiences she’s kept quiet for years. By the final ghost hunt, the equipment and the energy feel like “too much,” so they call it and head back to the hotel—hoping the night ends there.
