They trade examples and opinions, including a rumored Galveston rollercoaster rescue “inappropriate touching” claim, the reality behind the McDonald’s hot coffee case, a TikTok-related lawsuit alleging the algorithm is too addictive for kids, and other odd or extreme suits like airlines being sued over “window seats” with no window, a lost-pants case seeking millions, and various trademark disputes.

    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.

They contrast generational attitudes about feelings and social media pressure, touch on politics and college bias, and swap stories about how time speeds up, raising kids, loss, and finding purpose. It ends with childbirth and hair-dye tangents. Thank you for listening!!!

    In episode 74, Sandy and Kristy celebrate how far the podcast has come and ask for ideas for a big 100th-episode plan (TikTok and cocktail hour included). Kristy’s “dead inside” moment is heavy: her husband’s worsening health pushed him to walk away from a job he’d held for 23 years after the company offered him a degrading, unhealthy position, leaving the family facing big life and financial changes. Sandy’s gripe is lighter but relatable: her broken-AC-and-heater Nissan needs replacing, but slimy, sexist car sales tactics—and a dip-spitting salesman—make shopping miserable. They also vent about ChatGPT confidently spreading misinformation, talk verifying sources (including sketchy Google results), share true-crime updates on the Gilgo Beach murders, and plug a local boutique’s 10-year anniversary plus an upcoming paranormal convention and merch.

They rant about misinformation (including people misreading “inconclusive” ballistics), touch on the Dugger case update, argue you can’t judge how someone grieves, and end with a creepy embalming TikTok, a Harry Potter casting complaint, and a formal apology for unwanted Bubba Wallace ads.

  17. 59

    72 - A Lil Bit of Beer, Bands, and Bizarre Legal Battles

    Sandy and Kristy, tipsy in a hotel after a Journey concert, riff on how romantic old music was before diving into Afroman’s legal saga: a sketchy tip led Adams County deputies to raid and trash his home for alleged trafficking and a “basement” (his house doesn’t even have one), confiscate cash from a suit pocket, and return it short. Afroman responded by using his security footage to make mocking songs—especially “Lemon Pound Cake”—sparking a civil case they say raised major free-speech issues, with a judge they view as biased despite a jury ruling in his favor. They then discuss the Duggars/IBLP as a cult-like system that protects abuse, including past molestation and child porn convictions, new allegations involving a 9-year-old, and an arrest tied to locks on kids’ doors, while debating how religion and church culture enable harm.Thank you for listening!!!

Sandy celebrates being given a new grandma name—“Bob”—by her grandbaby, which is quickly becoming her entire personality. Next up, they impulsively buy VIP tickets to a paranormal convention, including a ghost hunt and Sandy’s long-wanted past-life regression.

Along the way they tumble through TikTok brain-melt, argue about misinformation, drag people who can’t pronounce basic words (Candace Owens), and detour into books—including the unfortunate discovery of “fairy porn.” They end with a call for emails, more subscribing, and their classic reminder about where not to put your fingers.THank you for Listening!!!
