Wine, Weed, Weird!

I Forget about Research (it's about "Chicatita")

Could Abba have been Baab? Probably not, but Emily and Ky won't let that stop them from repeating a fun, new word! Is this actually the music video for "Chicatita"? No, but Emily and Ky aren't ones to let facts and information get in the way of a great episode! Join them for a discussion of the most disturbing snowman you've ever seen, a man who is absolutely lit, perhaps about his parliament sleeves, and the ultimate question: who is Chicatita???

That's Great, Greg, Thanks! (it's about the Gregorian Calendar)

Happy New Year, Cephalopods! Have you ever wondered why we celebrate the new year in the dead of winter right after Christmas? Honestly, we still don't really know why they committed to this choice, but you can join Emily and special guest co-host Teddy for a somewhat spotty historical exploration of the calendar we all use all over the world: The Gregorian Calendar! Was it invented by a groundhog? Why are some of the months named after numbers, but the never the right ones? How long have we been using this particular calendar? How did we used to reckon days in the winter? Emily and Teddy do, indeed, at least vaguely, answer some of these questions, but they also spend about half the show talking about ghosts! Thanks for listening in 2025, whether you've been around since season one, or just discovered us! Here's to so much more weirdness to help us make it through a 2026 that is unfortunately already turning out to be a doozy.

I'm Not Prepared to Let That Go (it's a Re-Release of our Season One Nativity Episode!)

Season one was a different time...Emily and Ky were so young, so fresh, so guiddy...and they'd spent so little time delving into their religious trauma! In some ways, this was the episode that tilted the trajectory of Wine, Weed, Weird, so of course we gotta revisit it this Christmas season! Think about the story of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, some shephered and some wisemen, and we're going to insist, some farm animals, in a whole new way this year! Or an old way, if you're a long time listener. It'll be a nostalgic treat!

Murdered in Cold Pud…dle (it’s about Frosty the Snowman)

Ky is back, and she’s asking the real questions about Frosty: is John Deer in this movie? Did people keep children in school till Christmas Eve in the 60’s? And, where are Karen’s pants?? Emily has no answers, but she’s busy writing the claymation Frosty prequel featuring a psychological deep dive into the neglectful upbringing of bad magician, Professor Hinkle. (Professor of what??) Join them for a possession narrative that might also be a pro-life plot that moves lightning fast once a moral authority rabbit who’s bad at impressions takes the reins!

I'm Blessed (it's about "A Choir Sings Jesus Cometh into my Kitchen and he Eateth all of Food)

We've got a special Christmas surprise for the Cephalopods: Teddy is co-hosting this week!!! Of course, we all miss Ky's hot takes, but you can see her hot legs instead in Company XIV's Nutcracker Rouge!!! We'll be sure to have a special segment to hear her thoughts on this topic on our next episode, In the meantime, enjoy Teddy playing with a puppy, Emily flexing on how much more weird shit she's processed the last five years, immune system comparisons, and impromptu sermons. It's a weird one, and is it even about Christmas? Or is it about something...more? "For I do speak of my own accord..." -Jesus
