By popular demand, for this episode we’ve selected a bottle of 19 Crimes Red Blend out of Australia. We hear this wine pairs beautifully with Long Pig (aka “The Other Other White Meat”).

Ep3 Lesser Known Cults is OUT NOW! Go to our Listen page or check it out directly on SoundCloud.
The gals discuss a couple of utterly bonkers cults that have somehow evaded the spotlight in recent years. These stories will have you saying “Uganda be kidding me!” and googling travel agencies to take you to the comet Hale-Bopp (AKA San Diego). Episode topics include our odds for scoring a Nike endorsement deal, #tfw your apocalypse predictions are thwarted, and everyone’s favorite company, Herbalife. This week’s wine pairing has a bizarre (and somewhat inexplicable) cult following of its own: Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. Go grab a bottle (you know it’s on sale) and enjoy!
Ep2 Arson is finally HERE! Go to our Listen page or check it out directly on SoundCloud.
