The gals are in good form in this 1 hour episode They've come up with a new term--"intuitive" podcasting, Byron discovers Clabber Girl baking soda & Alicia is gaga for the upcoming mushroom season.
They both want to know about the rudest/most insulting thing someone ever said to their listeners & start it off by sharing their own stories..
Did you know-->"It smells like early spring, which starts Feb 1st. and it doesnt look like chicks and bunnies".
Trigger Warning-some gross things, a weird mention of squirrel genitalia & paddling in school is discussed.....but honestly....if you listen to us regularly you're probably used to it by now....

Wyrd Mountain GalsThe Customer Is Always Right
Well, Byron hasn't kicked anything, tripped on anything, or "blessed anybody out" so far today  (it's still early though). Alicia recounts her latest customer service nightmare & declares  "I know what I'm doing with this customer service crap".  Does she really?  You decide...
Great Question from Eric Sellers-Spectre Detectors Paranormal Investigations.  Thanks!
