Blame It On The MoonEpisode Airs Sunday May 30 2021 @ 7pm EST
The gals are glad they don't have to get up at "ass o-clock" in the morning to get the woodstove ready for cooking breakfast.  Talk is back & forth-playground antics, bears & their smell, blue clay in Wedgewood, local hurricanes, and more.  They decided to blame most everything on the moon....

A Tupperware ShedEpisode Airs Sunday, May 16 7pm EST
Things have finally quieted down a bit, & the gals have a conversation that could almost pass for normal.  Almost.  
Byron finally admits that sometimes she would like to secede from Asheville. Alicia defends the good ol boy network (what??) & shares a secret from that one time at band camp... They somehow manage to use the word "lobotomy" in the same sentence with the word "children".   Oy!
Enjoy!

Time is WyrdEpisode airs Sunday, May 9 2021 7pm EST
The birds are singing, the kettle is on, & the gals are on the porch talking about all manner of things. They both agree that the Flat Earth Society folks have the right to believe whatever they want...even if it's wrong.  We find out Byron thinks Benedict Cumberbatch kind of looks like Big Bird & that Big Bird can be sort of...sexy. Then on to hair...yes, Byron still likes a man with alot of it.  We learn that her nickname as a baby was Rooster...then we find out how she got that nickname...We finally hear one of the "Grandma songs". (Lyrics below)There's a short progress report on the Revelator deck.

I’m Wondering HowBy Elsie Barnette 1945, Music by David Selby 2016Performed by The Current Residents Band
So you fell in love againAnd now we are only friendsYou say that you’ll be happy nowBut when I think of the pastSomething tells me it won’t lastAnd if it does, I’ll still be wondering how
Chorus:Wondering how I’m gonna face tomorrowIt seems there’s nothing to live for nowAnd as long years come and goYou’re the one I love you knowAnd I’ll get by but dear I’m wondering how
You are the only love I knowAnd I thought you loved me tooBut one by one you’ve broken every vowAll the things you seemed to beFooled a dozen more than meI could be wrong but dear I’m wondering how
Now I hope that fate is kindAnd contentment you will findMay sorrow never cause your head to bowBut you know what people sayFor every wrong we all must payI’m sure you will but dear I’m wondering how
Bridge:
If you still think that you are rightWhen you read this note tonightI’ll never bother you again I’ll vowBut dear I’m so afraidThat you’re happiness will fadeYour bound to suffer and I’m wondering how
Chorus
 
Stay Wyrd Yall...

Fathers* now our meeting is over,
Fathers* we must part;

And be safe forevermore.

Where The Soul Never Dies

Lyrics
To Canaan's land, I'm on my way
Where the soul of man never dies
My darkest night will turn to day
Where the soul of man never dies
No sad farewells (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love (Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies (And the soul of man never dies)
The rose is blooming there for me
Where the soul of man never dies
And I will spend eternity
Where the soul of man never dies
No sad farewells (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes)
Where all is love (Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies (And the soul of man never dies)
The love light beams across the foam
Where the soul of man never dies
It shines and lights the way to home
Where the soul of man never dies
No sad farewells (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes)
Where all is love (Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies (And the soul of man never dies)
No sad farewells (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes)
Where all is love (Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies (And the soul of man never dies

Eating Chickweed Like A What? Wyrd Mountain Gals

Eating Chickweed Like A....What?Episode Airs Sunday, April 18 7pm EST
The gals are on a tear, declaring that it's better to run out than run off (you know,  R U N D -  O F T).   Don't worry, they're just spring feverish for this episode. Talk ranges from Charles Taylor to local real estate, to the groundhog.  Alicia wonders if anybody ever uses Selby's first name & reveals the origins of the nickname "Huggy Bear".
Question: what do Real Estate Developers, Groundhogs, & stupid people have in common?
 
Charles Taylor: Taylor was the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, on the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations.[citation needed]
Taylor served on the advisory board of the National Wilderness Institute, a "deceptively named" pro-timber group which worked to promote timber companies' private property rights and reduce environmental safeguards.*

Spring has sprung & the gals are confessing all their sins...(sure, & if you believe that...).  
Ok.  They're confessing most of them.
Ok.  They're confessing a few of them.
Ok.  They're not really telling yall anything much, but it should make for an entertaining hour or so.  Here are their "confessions".
1. Byron will eat anything2. Byron forgot to use self-rising flour 3. Alicia eats biscuits, but doesn't make them4. We all love a bandwagon5. Byron is actually a city person (She said it!)
So there you have it.  Don't be too shocked.  
There was also more ladylike chat about death, developers, Eric Rudolph & how to really support a friend when they're angry*.
