Hey Teamsters! It has been a while. Carey Ann and Allison start off this episode with updates. While there is no defined plan for the upcoming year, your fearless leaders are recouping their spoons and taking some time to make sure that the pod is sustainable. While you wait, please enjoy this episode of Chick Shit's podcast episode "Strip Clubs." Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your encouragement, patience, and support. We will be back. If you're out there, keep listening.

It has been a busy holiday season, Teamsters! We are mixing it up a little with this episode and we have answered some of your questions as well as asked and answered a few of our own. Join us for a look into our weird labyrinth mind things.

Tis the season, Teamsters! Time for another holiday mash up. Unlike Halloween, CA definitely got the memo for this special episode. First, Allison gives us a history of the jolly man himself. Carey Ann then shares a new Christmas classic. Is it a cult classic? Who's to say. Happy Holidays! Hope this season brings you joy and rest.

Hello Teamsters! Hard to believe the year is coming to a close! Having a podcast kind of feels like Truman Show Syndrome. There is an audience, we just are aware of being recorded. Nonetheless, podcasts are part of a cultural moment, and well... just stay tuned to figure out why that is relevant. Then, learn about the assembly line, cars, and for better, or worse, the life of a famous white man. Allison's anthem to all is "D-BAD" which is truly something that Mr. Ford could have benefitted from hearing a time or two.

Happy Thursday, Teamsters! Do any of you remember watching a documentary in middle school that said that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s? Carey Ann sure does! What is this weird phenomenon of false memories that is the Mandela Effect? Speaking of false memories, many people have claimed over the years to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia. Allison takes us on a journey to the past through her life and her last days, perhaps even her last moments. The intersection may be clear, but the rest of it is pretty murkey.

Happy Thursday, Teamsters! We're all mad here, so we might as well go down the rabbit hole... Ready to forever change the way that you think about movies? Carey Ann's topic this week looks at a simple test used to gauge media and unravel the idea that women exist only in their relationships to men. Then, follow AllisonWonderland as she leads us down the rabbit hole that is the life of Lewis Carroll. Feel free to draw your own conclusions, but this story just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Happy Post-Thanksgiving-Warm-Gerbil-Cult-Release day, Teamsters! Welcome back to this weird labyrinth mind thing that we call a cult episode. This week, Allison takes us down a dark and twisted hole with more content warnings than we can begin to name. While "The Ant Hill Kids" sounds cute, be warned this is not a warm and fuzzy cult. Carey Ann juxtaposes all of that trauma with a look at Spirited Away, Japanese culture, and a hint at the cult of Studio Ghibli. There was so much more to say and unpack with this movie; drop a note to the Pod on Instagram with your thoughts and feedback! Join us again on Thursday for your regularly scheduled programming.

Happy Thanksgiving Teamsters!! The Pod without an Aud family wishes you delicious food and time with friends and loved ones. This week's episode is a Patreon pick for CA. Borderline Personality Disorder is widely misunderstood and over stigmatized. Join us as we learn more and unpack some of the misconceptions. Then, meet Typhoid Mary who just wanted to make peach ice cream but accidentally said "eat my sh*t."

Why was Pavlov's hair so soft? All the conditioning... Get it? Hey Teamsters! Where else can we talk about sexually arousing objects, like sexual imprinting and penny jars? This week, Carey Ann covers fetishized objects and body parts and the multitude of theories surrounding fetishes. Allison then covers the strange and unusual world of records that leads us down fun rabbit holes like "who has the longest fingernails?" and the strongest injections.

Happy Thursday Teamsters! Two quotes to spark our topics today: "Shelby was right, it does look like a brown football helmet." and "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free." Do you know where these quotes are from before listening to the episode? Hint: Carey Ann's topic this week is grief and loss, which spans beyond the five stages of grief and goes deep into the nuances of loss. Allison then leads us through the history of the busiest immigration inspection station in our history, Ellis Island. Oh, History! Oh, Psychology! Thank goodness for snacks.
