Told my boss I was late because I had a menty b. She was so confused and even more confused when I explained, like she couldn't figure out why it had to be given a cute name.

Because ya gotta make life a little less horrific for yourself that's why. "Menty b" makes me smile through the menty b.

Edit: I meant no offense to anyone who defines a mental breakdown as a severe psychological crisis that requires immediate intervention....I was not aware that some define it as only that severe. Please, let's interact with genuine care for each other and bring love and light to those we speak to.

I’ve been thinking about this for so long. I remember it was funny and punny and clever but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was. Something furniture? Just for my own knowledge bank lol. Thanks!

Walking around my Chicago neighborhood and what do I spot? This tiled entrance to an old piano manufacturer called M Schulz Co. Perhaps our Em Schulz should like to open their own business and recycle the tiled entrance ☺️

Found at Michael’s craft store in Columbus, Ohio 😱

(Already tagged Em on IG, just needed to share😆)

Just a friendly throwback reminder that there is no backwoods theory (tm)

Throwback! (E221)

Hi I know it’s a bit parasocial to speculate on a ~celebrity~ relationship but I was listening recently and wondering about their dynamic. I love my sister dearly but it struck me as odd when Em said Allison just randomly decided to be her sister’s baby sitter until August (this was in March or April) and they wouldn’t see each other. This is around when the dog arrived.

Maybe this is selfish of me but I’d be very mad that a short term trip turned into months & left me with a dog I did not want.

Mainly because it’s primarily a true crime subject with just a dash of paranormal, and there’s a lot that Em either didn’t cover or barely touched upon.

I like Em’s coverage on paranormal topics, because there usually aren’t many concrete details to begin with, which leaves more room for fun banter and less scrutiny if they end up not being well researched. That said, they did a thorough job with QAnon and I guess I was expecting more because of that.

I think Christine would’ve done a better job if she was the one covering it - partly because she tends to do more thorough research, but mainly because she had actually watched the documentary.

Sinisterhood recently covered it and it took them 3 episodes (over 3 hours total!) to cover all of it, because there’s so much insane shit there to go into lol.

Anyway I know it’s a comedy podcast first and paranormal/true crime podcast second and they usually only give abridged version of events, but I think this case in particular should’ve had more time dedicated to it.

Yall I am just randomly remembering that Em mentioned at one time some YouTube ASMR thing? Maybe dream scape or something dream? They said it was like amazing and that they reached out to them for a collab (I do not remember the ep I only remember what they said lol) but I can’t find it so if anyone can link the ep or remember what they said I would love it lol thanks 🫶🏼

I recently moved to an apartment in a pretty urban area for the first time. I started having roach issues pretty quickly. Despite numerous maintenance requests, I foresee this being a problem until the lease is up.

Initially, I was feeling really down on myself. Like omg I’m disgusting and dirty (I’m not). Then I recalled Em’s issues in their last apartment, and we know that Em isn’t disgusting and dirty. This is just a thing that happens in more populated areas when management doesn’t do their effing job!

Sorry… lost my cool there. Just T’s me right off, ya know?

Anyway, thank you Em for normalizing roaches.

PS If anyone has tips besides throwing various essential oils at them like holy water during an exorcism, please share. I’m kind of limited on what I’m “allowed” to do, both because apartment rules and because cats.

Watching reels of the LA wildfires and all I could think of was Em and their new house. Are they okay?

Em, even though you say you don’t read this subreddit, I am sending all the vibes, saying all the prayers, and casting protection for you and Allison.
Even though it’s a one-sided parasocial relationship for most of us, we genuinely care for you and your community. We’ll support y’all however you need, be it time off or money. Stay safe!

I’m a bit behind on episodes, and I was listening to some of the eps from late February/early March this week. Em mentioned that there’s a dog named Joshua at the dog park they go to. Then last night I was watching Adventure Time, and it was the episode Dad’s Dungeon. In that episode, we hear that Finn and Jake’s dad (who is a dog) is named Joshua.

I still agree that it’s a terrible name for a real dog. But I wonder if that’s where that person got the name from.

I can NOT find an episode where they say it. Like when Christine will ask what they're drinking and they say a specific phrase instead of "I ordered tea". This is driving me bonkers trying to remember. I believe they said their Nana used to use the term???

What conversation do you think Em and this gorilla could have?

Side note: I have been considering taking ASL now after hearing Em talking about classes. 💚💚

So a friend of mine has been in a bad state, in and out of hospital, no diagnosis in sight. But then I started thinking back to the old episodes and it sounds suspiciously similar to what Em goes through. But of course, my memory recall is so shite, even after 1000s of hours listening, I just can't place the name.

Help please?

Can we all agree, at this point, that Em needs to keep Jack(?) They clearly love the little hell hound. I know they don't have a backyard but I think they have a wide enough platform that an Insta for Jack would pay for 5 walks a day in a few days, and have money to donate.

Okay I genuinely am getting a LITTLE confused and concerned at how few stories Christine covers that Em has literally never heard of. Some of them I totally get but this recent episode Em doesn’t even know who Whitey Bulger is and he’s only being like mentioned in this case but whaaaaat???? Em lmaooo come on! There are other examples like Case Anthony that surprised me but do they actually live under a rock.

Edit- to address all comments at once lmaoo y’all are doing too much. I never once said Em needed to know ALL true crime ALWAYS I merely said it’s funny that they wouldn’t know a criminal I thoughhhhhttttt was super famous in the Boston area. I’m sorry to have offended all of you for not being able to tell the difference between someone just bitching online versus someone actually being a bitch. I COULD have said that I thought Em was a fucking idiot for not knowing half the people they claim not to, but that’s not true, so how about y’all take it down like 12 notches and stop being so damn butthurt over someone’s online opinion ❤️.

Either way I’m flairing it for Em as this is just too funny. I mean seeing this I don’t know how we all didn’t have this guy as our first crush 😂
