Tue, 10 Nov 2026

All right, Fam, it’s time to jump in the way back machine! This time we’re going back to the good ol' innocent days of the early 1990s when THE FORMER MAYOR OF CINCINNATI, Jerry Springer, comes on the national scene and ruins everyone’s good time with this TRULY-BAD-FOR-THE-CULTURE TV show. What started out as a Phil Donahue ripoff quickly devolves into a violent, exploitive, LITERALLY MURDER-INSPIRING trainwreck. And guess what: NOBODY IS HERE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THEY DID. Fam, Patrick and Gillian literally lived through this time and truly forgot how bad it all was. Anyway, buckle up BECAUSE HERE WE GO!

539: Wicked Witches (from "Mean Girl Murders")

Thu, 05 Nov 2026

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES! When Misty makes a new friend, Jenny, at work, she’s roped into a web of…strangeness when Jenny’s “guardian” (yeah, we have questions too) Irina. Irina suggests the three of them form a Coven BECAUSE WHY NOT and immediately tries to get Jenny and Misty to kill--YES KILL--her rival evil witch, Lindsay. This is all real, Fam. After a few botched attempts AT MURDER, Irina enlists the help of two idiot men. These derps break into the rival witch’s house in the middle of the night and wreak havoc on the place. This results in the tragic murder of a young man who never should have been there in the first place. It’s all…a mess and we scream a lot about it. UGH LEAVE THE WITCHES ALONE.
