Banshees And Booze

Netflix and chill? More like Hulu and pee ourselves! This week Amie and Tami watch episodes of their favorite paranormal investigation shows and remember why they're too chicken to watch them in the first place! Hear about Ghost Hunter Brian's whiney trips up the 219 steps of a haunted lighthouse, and empathize with Ghost Adventurer's cameraman Billy who wants to put a pillow over Zak's face. Also Tami just found out while typing this that Zak spells his name "Zak" and she is DONE with him all over again and that's coming from a "Tami", ok? And lastly, please help Tami and Amie fight about Margarita salt rims. . Engineer: Trevor Reece .

There's a wolf in the office, and shit is weird, y'all. All that's to be expected as Amie and Tami take on a paranormal topic that's a little outside their normal haunted (wheel)house: ALIENS! But what does feel familiar is the title of Amie's memoir: Good Times; Bad Drinks. You might as well shoot it, because the Mars-garita isn't fit for human consumption. Learn about some ancient aliens and a more modern Arizona conspiracy, and marvel as Tami has a sudden flashback to the time she saw a UFO. Carlos... call me! . Engineer: Trevor Reece .

It's Dads' Day, and that means BOOOOOrbon! Sip on an apple cider-based mixed drink while Amie and Tami meticulously avoid the common association with the term "Ghost Dad..." (Yikes.)
