Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

(Happy Pride Month! May got away from us, and before we knew it, Pride Month was here and we realized the pride episode would come out on the last day of the ,month. But hey every day is pride with us, isn't it? Sorta? D'awwww. But really, when Amelia's 92 year old dad asked her about what "gender affirming care" meant, that's some serious queer content, y'all!) After some brain-bending time trave...

Of course you don't know what AFDH stands for! That's why you have to listen! Once again Pitney and Amelia find themselves at Texas Frightmare Weekend, the southwest's premier horror convention, and they're gonna tell you all about it. They had the usual fun (shopping, discovering awesome low-budget films, ogling Ted Raimi) and some new excitement, including Amelia's husband and dog coming on the...

While getting excited about Texas Frightmare Weekend, Amelia lets off steam by telling more "they dumb" stories about The Valedictorian and The Duchess.

So much excitement. "Suzanne" gets revenge. Pitney is reminded of the music and style of 1982 thanks to a Solid Gold video and it kicks off a crapvalanche of GenX delights.

This is a damn good one. A little post-visit debriefing leads to a story of a scandalous letter Pitney's mom received from a racist cousin.

Here we go, dragging Madonna. AGAIN. But only because we were already talking about the fear of aging, and she's out there flappin' her comically engorged lips.    So, why is "anti-aging medicine" even a thing? Aren't people SUPPOSED to age? Cosmetic surgery, magic serums, taking medications meant for sick people -- for what purpose? We talk about our real fears about aging and the culture's attit...

Everyone else is talking about Prince Harry's frostbitten junk, why not us?     Pitney has a new obsession in Harry and Meghan, and we gleefully trash the monarchy while we talk about the awesome couple. Amelia shares a terrific Netflix documentary, Stutz, made by Jonah Hill. It's all about a therapist's methods and tools for helping his patients, and it's great for people who swear by therapy and...

We are determined to be kinder to ourselves in 2023, and so far so good! We catch up on how we tried to make our Christmases as low-key and easy as possible, we talk a bit about cryptocurrency, and we don't let a list about public poo go to waste!     Promo: Fellowship of the Geeks   (Want to swap show promos?

WE'LL SEE YOU JAN 13, 2023! HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY! WE LOVE YOU! Happy Holidays! This year we're breaking down how everybody's a pagan when it's winter solstice time, because Yule is all around us, in nearly every secular "Christmas" tradition. The tree, the fire, the giving of gifts, the drinking of punch, the singing, all of it! Then a closer look at a few very American "traditions" and not one, b...

Do your surroundings and your wardrobe reflect who you are or how you want people to perceive you? Are those two different people?  This week we draw a parallel between figuring out who you are and decorating your place. Some people put on a whole persona at once and some people acquire one piece at a time. As always, we have opinions.  Plus, we careen towards the end of the #YearOfTheSaints with...

In a year where we struggled to feel gratitude, it took a little more effort than usual to get our annual Thankful episode together. But in spite of that, or maybe because of that, it's got some really good stuff in it. Amelia's giving herself a break, Pitney appreciates a fresh perspective caused by pain, and we encourage each other (and you!) to remember the minis!     Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps...

Getting honest about public disposal of dog poop. Sexual activity in cars outside the bedroom window. Public reactions to celebrity death and the existence of performative grief.

We found out that, in some parts of the country, high school seniors pay for and decorate spaces in the school parking lot, and we have very different reactions to that information. We imagine what it would have been like if such a thing existed in the 1980s, and visualize our own parking spots based on who we were back in 1986. Then some new trends, like why white rappers are all baby-soft now, a...

There exists in the world a $20,000 toilet, and we are fascinated. Amelia is inspired to put some class on her ass and invest in a bidet, much to Pitney's amusement and confusion.

Amelia's heading back to the office and is dreading wearing real clothes again. Pitney admits to wearing pajama pants in public. It's a new world out there. Pitney is excited to learn they're making a new live action Barbie and Ken movie, but not as excited as he was to hear about ketchup dripping down the wall of the White House. And this week in the #YearOfTheSaints, the first American saint, wh...
