Hey guys! Life hit us hard, so enjoy an episode from the Patreon vault (guest starring Ivar)!

Hello, Strange Lovely Patroni! Welcome to this month's of strange! This month we tried our hand at palm reading! Thanks to the kit called "Handful of Stars" by Helene Saucedo (which is amazing if you're looking to get into palmistry) all three of us were able to approach palm reading in our own way and come out with incredible insight into each other's lives. (Which surprised all of us). This was a super fun subject for us to cover and we're so happy to be able to bring you this episode.

Hello, Lovelies! As you may have noticed, Ashley isn’t here this week. Thankfully, Rebecca stole spoons (and notes) from the Intern and shared a new twist on the age old tale of Evolution with us. Join us as the Intern and Rebecca try to convince us that humans evolved from mermaids and Tiffany keeps going back to banana DNA.

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Ashley explains the concept of ‘Stranger Danger’ and attempts to discourage us from making new friends. Join us as we learn about Erika and Benjamin Sifrit and try to rehome snakes.

BREAKING NEWS! Rebecca was loaned a solitary spoon and joined us for the week! YAY! Not only did she join us, but she presented too! Join us as Rebecca reads the Interns notes on Count Loose-Dick (AKA Victor Lustig), the infamous con man from the early 1900’s (who is most definitely not Leonardo DiCaprio). We also learn about the sound farm animals make, but let’s not focus on that right now…

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Tiffany is joined by everyone’s favorite Lady, Large Male Tiffany! No, Earni is not joining because Tiffany messed up the audio for this week’s episode and Ashley was already on vacation by the time she figured it out. Why do you ask? He joined to discuss everyone’s newest fear: dying on the toilet. Join us as we dive in and discuss toilet related deaths and injuries and how to avoid them. (Hint: it’s not holding your poop in.)

Hello, Lovelies! Ashley is quickly approaching vacation and wants to share the excitement with us all. Since she can’t pack us all in her suitcase (and you know Tiffany has tried), she is sharing fun roadside attractions with us to fuel our future adventure fire. Join us as we discuss Lucy the Elephant, the Oregon Vortex, Bishop Castle, the Official Center of the World, (Tiffany’s) Mystery Hole, the Oddporium, the Cushing Center, and the World’s Largest Collection of the World’s Smallest Versions of the World’s Largest Things.

Hello, Lovelies! What do hedgehogs, imaginary fireworks, DUIs, and skeletal guitars have in common? You guessed it: Florida Man Shenanigans! Our wonderful friends on Discord asked for this, and you get to benefit from it. Sit back, relax, and ask yourself “WTF?!” as Ashley and Tiffany discuss…WTF?!

Hello, Lovelies! This week Tiffany takes us back to her festival roots and teaches us about the Estonian Carry and why you should use it if you want to win a see-saw full of beer. Join us as Tiffany cons Ashley into physical excursion against her will and explains what the Finnish Wife Carrying Competition is.

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Ashley tells us all about Brynhild Paulsdatter Størseth, AKA Belle Gunness. Belle was a notorious Norwegian-American serial killer  who made it clear that “triflers need not apply” to die. Join us as we discover who Ashley was in a previous life and Tiffany tries desperately to make Belle a southern woman.

It finally happened… The Ladies covered the same topic! Mollie Fancher, the Brooklyn Enigma, is fascinating enough to peak both ladies' interest. Join us as we discuss the Victorian Fasting Girls, who claimed to be able to survive without eating or drinking for extended periods of time.

Hello, Lovelies! Want to learn about Ashley’s greatest fears? Well, join us this week as Tiffany teaches us about self-mummifying monks, also known as Sokushinbutsu. Who doesn’t want to quit eating and drinking before being buried alive? (Ashley. The answer is most definitely Ashley.)

Hello, Lovelies! Time for a throw-back to our Salem and Torture episodes as we discuss the Joshua Ward House and all the terror that goes along with it. George Corwin, the High Sheriff of Essex County, played a major role in the Salem Witch Trials. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t a good role. Now, his soul, and the souls of his victims, haunt the house built on the land he owned.

Hello, Lovelies! Are you sick of Valentine’s Day? Are you bitter about love? Let us help create your Tinder profile and turn things around for you. Until then, join us as we tell you two very different Bad Romance stories. Ashley dives into the tumultuous relationship of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall and how their story still lives on in New Orleans today. While Tiffany takes us back to a simpler time when a ghost was all you needed (until he ghosted you).

Hello, Lovelies! Welcome back to Unsupervised! This week, Tiffany blasts off to DC to meet our first Venusian, Valiant Thor. Join us for this wild ride as we learn that aliens just want us to be Christians to save us from nuclear war. Make sense? Didn’t think so.

Hello, Lovelies! For our first unsupervised episode, Ashley takes us back to her roots and tells us about the first cult to take up too much space in her brain. Join us as we break down how Jim Jones was so influential, and find out why cults are “everywhere you want to be, and everywhere you shouldn’t”.

Hello, Lovelies! This week CK IS BACK! We talk Frankenstein, galvanization, electricity, and other spooky things for this Halloween Special!

Hello, Lovelies! Ever heard of John Brinkley? Well, let Rebecca ruin your day. (Actually, blame the intern, he wrote these notes) Brinkley had a dream. A dream to become a doctor. After much... persistence?... he finally made it? Ok, it was totally not legit. Did that stop him from using goat genitalia from treating patients? No. Concerned? You should be. Please join us as Rebecca ruins Ashley's day and Tiffany keeps count of how many times Rebecca says "Goat Balls".

Hello, Lovelies! And welcome to this month's bonus where we focused on (or, at least tried to anyway) on motivation!

Hello, Lovelies! In honor of listener appreciation month Tiffany brings us the story of Henrietta Lacks and HeLa cells!

Hello, Lovelies! This week Ashley is bringing you a fan pick and we are talking about coming of age stories from around the world!

Happy Pride Lovelies and welcome to June's bonus episode! This episode we discuss how pride was for us this year and what it means to each of us personally.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we challenged Ashley to find a story where no one dies! (What?! Why?! You'll see...) This week we discuss the harrowing story of Aron Ralston and his determination to survive.

No whiskey was harmed during the making of this episode.

Hello, Lovelies! This week Rebecca blows away the other ladies! We learn about weather phenomenon, starting with micro-bursts, and make our way to raining spiders. (I'm sorry, what?) Pull up a chair, and maybe an umbrella, as we discuss weather we didn't realize we didn't like.

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Ashley had a brain fart and decided to tell us about Jaycee Dugard and her story. Why is that a problem for Tiffany? Listen to find out!

Hello, Lovelies! Rebecca was in the middle of moving (don't worry, the cats are adjusting fine, thanks for asking) so we're pulling in a ringer this week by releasing a previous patron exclusive during which we talk about tarot! If you can get past the 10 minutes of Rebecca frantically trying to use math to explain things (I mean, how else would she explain anything?) shit gets real real fast this episode. We still don't know why decks of cards like to poke at feelings until you call for mercy, but they do and we have opinions on it.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we're bringing you three medical stories! (yes, Rebecca was very happy to talk medical subjects two weeks in a row)

Hello, Lovelies! Rebecca is experiencing life to the fullest right now (translation: she's stressed tf out) so, our intern has stepped in and provided an episode that is sure to make you laugh, cry, and maybe rage because you aren't a pompous ass and yet your life isn't as successful as this butthead's life is. Join us as we (all) discover who Karl May was and why his name is noteworthy. (Hint: it's related to Hitler)

Hello, Lovelies! This week Tiffany finds a way to sneak in a topic Rebecca specifically told her not to cover. Join us as we discuss Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss, the man who kill President James A. Garfield. (Don't rely on those history books that tell you it was Charles J. Guiteau.) Why wasn't Tiffany supposed to cover this? Listen to find out! (Hint: It involves sticking stuff up butts.)

Hello, Lovelies! This month we got crafty! From old hobbies to new passions, we talk about our experiences and what we like about making stuff.

Hello, Lovelies! Look, Rebecca isn't being lazy with the title, she just wasn't the one who edited this episode and therefore has no idea what's about to happen. (Could she listen to it before hand? Maybe. Could she instead go back to Breath Of The Wild? Absolutely yes.)

This week we had the incredible CK join Ashley and Tiffany! (Swear Rebecca is still alive, she has just been really really busy) Join them as CK tells the tale of Elizabeth Short. She was an aspiring actress, but unfortunately became known as the Black Dahlia.

Hello, Lovelies! This week Rebecca tells us all about early version of medical devices! From the early chainsaws to things that look like a steam punk stapler crossed with a compass, we have ya'll covered this week.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we listened to Tiffany tell us about capgras syndrome. From the history to the diagnosis we're here for it... or are we?

Surprise! And hello, Lovelies! We had a friend request an extra extra bonus about happy animal stories. Enjoy!

Hello, Lovelies! This week Ashley tells us all about Wallace Souza and the length he went to to keep his true crime television show going.

Hello, Lovlies! This month we got spiritual by exploring individually what that meant for us and what direction we should go. Join us as we discuss our journeys while getting distracted by plenty of tangents.

Hello, Lovelies! Is this episode late? Yup. Does this mean Rebecca didn't get creative with the title cause she's distracted by coffee on a Sunday morning? Also yup. This month (last month?) we attempted to get physical by exercising. Key word here is "attempted".

Hello, Lovelies, and Happy April Fools! This week we handed our feed over briefly to the guys at Hysteria 51.

Nothing worse than a photobomb. There you are minding your own business, taking a picture of your lovely daughter and next thing you know some idiot time traveler / astronaut / inter-dimensional being drops his/her/its mug into your frame. And while we’ve all been through it, there’s a famous version we’re talking about this week – The Solway Firth Spaceman. Where did the other figure come from? Could this be a real, true documentation of a close encounter? How much is free film for a year actually worth? We dive in deep and see what develops. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually did research this week (albeit unsuccessfully, but…ya know…baby steps). Brent channels his inner British housewife from the 1960s (it wasn’t a huge leap). And John starts talking about time travel again (we wish it existed so we could go back and stop him). All of that and more on the podcast that doesn’t do a ton of photo shoots, but when we do they’re in the UK and they involve a spaceman – Hysteria 51.Show Description for Hysteria 51:Hysteria 51 is a weekly podcast that takes an every-man approach to the World of the Weird – UFOs, Aliens, Mysteries, the Paranormal, the Unusual, and the Unexplained. Hosts John Goforth, Brent Hand, and Conspiracy Bot (a cranky robot bent on world domination who also happens to be the show’s head researcher) examine a different topic each week and generally come to one conclusion…the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.Hysteria 51 is a 2019 Webby Honoree and has been featured in HuffPost, Podcast Movement, KC Paracon, Planet ComiCon, Alien Con, Wizard World, and Discover Pods as well as being picked by POPSUGAR and UPROXX as one of the best conspiracy-theory podcasts in the field.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we talk about Tiffany's (least) favorite subject, the ocean! First, Ashley hits us with all the important facts that, most importantly, make Tiffany uncomfortable. Second, Rebecca tells us about the great and mighty Megalodon which also makes Tiffany greatly uncomfortable. Finally, Tiffany talks about rubber duckies that float freely at sea because of course she does.

Hello, Lovelies! Welcome to what happens when Rebecca gets overwhelmed at work. (Don't worry, she's fine and we expect to return to normal shortly) This week we're releasing an episode that was previously released on Patreon. This one specifically we tried our hand at meditation. Do we calm down? Do we nap? (Yes) And don't worry, we all know you're back again for Tiffany's Diary Corner and yes, it's still our favorite part too.

The apps we used during this experiment are Headspace and Let's Meditate (this episode was not sponsored).

Hello, Lovelies! This week's theme was haunted objects! First, Tiffany tells us the story of the Black Orlov: a diamond that brings death to its owners. Next, Ashley discusses the Devil's Rocking Chair that was initially possessed... but still kinda is but it's with Zac Baggins now so that's under control. Finally, Rebecca discusses the painting called The Anguished Man. There's even a bonus surprise Large Male Tiffany! Well, he doesn't make an appearance, but he does startle Tiffany, which Rebecca found entertaining.

Hello, Lovelies! Apologies for the bad audio... Rebecca recorded remotely and was not there to assist and trouble shoot. This week, Tiffany talks about the science behind savants! From famous savants to us making it really obvious we don't know anything about classical music (Ashley was thinking about Tchaikovsky, by the way) we have a lot of fun this week Tiffany attempts to get sciency.

Hello, Lovelies, and welcome to our first Sage N' Tales! This month's theme was "what are new ways for us to deal with mental health"? Spoiler: It was not Rebecca spending 100 hours in a new video game (she's fine and totally doesn't have said video game on pause to post this episode >_>)

P.S. We know the audio is a little wonky and we can't figure out why? Looks like the magical pixies wanted in on this week's episode I guess.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we discuss the important historical events surrounding the Little Rock 9 in honor of Black History Month.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we each brought a completely random topic. First up, Tiffany discuss how a clever lawyer kept rats from being thrown in jail. Next, Rebecca tries to tell the Ladies about the conspiracy theory that is the Black Knight, but learns she needs to just let Tiffany handle the conspiracy theories. Finally, Ashley tells us two heartwarming stories about bears. Pull up a seat, pour a hot drink, and enjoy this grab bag of topics!

Hello, Lovelies! Welcome to Rebecca's Musical! Episode. Musical episode. We talk about musical instruments. Especially weird ones. Sorry guys, you want a musical episode go ask Ashley. : D

Instruments discussed in this episode: Octobass, pyrophone organ, Theremin, glass harmonica, Cross-Grainger Kangaroo-Pouch Tone Tool, Stroh Violin, Hurdy Gurdy, and Fluba.

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Tiffany takes us to the mountains of Kentucky to visit the Fugate family, also known as the Kentucky Blue People. Why are they blue? What is methemoglobinemia? And, why can Tiffany say that but not hemoglobin? Find out that and more as we travel in the way-back machine to the Troublesome Creek, KY of 1820.

Hello, lovelies! This week we discuss the Alaskan cryptid, the kushtaka! In reality, this was an excuse for Ashley to talk about otters.

Hello, Lovelies! This week, everyone’s favorite “Lady of Strange” is back. Large Male Tiffany is here to wish you a Happy New Year! Join us for a (briefer than) brief history of New Years resolutions and a quick update on LMT’s life.

If you’d like to keep caught up with Earni’s podcast, you can find him on all the podcatchers. Just search for Deacon Dad.

**This was recorded on Tuesday evening. Wednesday evening, Earni had another memory loss spell. He does not remember having a podcast so we can’t promise it will be updated anytime soon. You are more than welcome to check out what is currently out there though. As always, we love you and hope your New Year is beyond amazing.

Hello, Lovelies! During our impromptu break we still wanted to leave you a couple treats until we're back full swing in January. Make sure to mix something up and enjoy this song brought to you by the one and only Ashley.

Hello, Lovelies! Given the right circumstances, nature can do some crazy stuff, including carbonated lakes that douse the neighboring area in CO2. We first focus on a lake in Camaroon, Africa, that, unfortunately, caused 1,700 people to die overnight. This week we dive into the theory, the science, and some questionable 3rd grade humor.
