Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

Sure, we're angry as hell this week but there's so many more reasons than just the SCOTUS rulings and the world going to hell. We covered a lot of that sort of thing two episodes ago, so feel free to go back and listen to Fighting Heels if you want to get revved up about that.     This week we're talking about some celebrity stories that have us annoyed. The recent forced-outing of Rebel Wilson, w...

Ahoy, matey! It be the Pride episode, and this year we're talking all about gay pirates. It's a bit of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, the real story of why the legendary Blackbeard would want to sail with a guy like Stede Bonnet, and the hit HBOMax series their tale inspired, Our Flag Means Death! Fascinating tidbits about life on the high seas, why the pirate aesthetic won't let us go, and our usual w...

Happy Pride Month! We're gonna get you fired up and ready to make some changes in the world. If you've never participated in activism before, it's time you started.    #Pride #PrideMonth #Pride2022    Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and FriGay the 13th     (Want to swap show promos?

Assorted tales of entitlement and disrespect. A "Dear Abby" letter about not wanting to hear the Happy Birthday song, an AITA about how a woman eats noodles, and the aggro-face-humping abomination that is Madison Cawthorn, who lost his primary bid for his own seat in Congress in between the recording and the posting of this episode! Huzzah!   And don't forget this week's saint profile, Bernard of...

It's Texas Frightmare Weekend time again! Normally, we'd be recording in the car on the drive home, but this year ended up very different! Find out why Pitney couldn't come to Dallas, and how Amelia spent the weekend at the con all by herself! Hear about the tragedy of Waco traffic, the glamour of getting a tattoo in the dealer's room, actors who can totally get it, con-goers who need to STFU, and...

Pitney's mom hollering at an old lady who won't bid fast enough at bridge. And she once called 9-1-1 because his dad used her coffee pot. And we have a lot of opinions about House of Gucci.   And this week we celebrate dog saints.     Promo: Family Plot     (Want to swap show promos? Email us!)    We love you for listening!

Please enjoy this thick, hearty bowl of Texas Chainsaw Massacre stew, where we talk about the glorious original 1974 film and the 2022 Netflix sequel. Then help yourself to a tasty side of spring-fresh patron saints of doink disease, and for dessert, a random discussion that took us back in time 40 years to a scandal in Bay Area Starsky and Hutch fandom.     Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and Aim For T...

We're pissed off about what's going on in Texas and Florida and damn straight we're gonna talk about it in the way you'd expect from us. Our feelings are serious even if our language is not. Smart, vulgar talk about scary stuff. A quick note about what Chuck Tingle is up to these days. (Don't know him? You will!) And a discussion about a murderous SkyrimIRL video blogger JinnKid turns intro an exa...

(Important to mention this was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.)  Pitney returns from his brief hiatus, and he has big news that even surprises Amelia! And Amelia learned her husband doesn't like sitting and watching TV, even though that's a lot of what he does anyway. News about Russia causes us to reminisce about a delightful weekend at a hotel with the Soviet track team. And boy...

Amelia chats with an old friend she's been calling Frito since the night they met in 1986. They talk about their school and its ridiculous confederate mascot, how important it is for students to understand that high school isn't reality, and learning how to "human" from the right sources. (For example, don't let Disney princesses or John Hughes movies teach you anything about what relationships ar...

Amelia cuts loose on what it's like to be a fat chick, especially what it is to exist in a world that tells you at every turn that the worst thing imaginable for most people is that they could look like you. If you're a fat person, you get it. If you're not, you'll learn stuff.   It's also February, which means Valentine's Day is coming up. So of course this week the saint we feature is St. Valent...

Amelia talks to the delightful K Anderson from the Lost Spaces Podcast about loving trashy gay bars, realizing everybody isn't a little bit into women, understanding the need for queer spaces, dumping evil people, hating Gwyneth Paltrow, and being comfortable enough to find yourself. And this week's #YearOfTheSaints segment brings us back to the days of Romans tossing martyrs to the lions, and one...

The first of several 2022 episodes sans Pitney. Amelia is totally unchaperoned and freaking out only a little bit. But she's got some old classic clips from the first year of the podcast (featuring an inappropriate use of Vaseline and a disgusting lack of oral hygiene), the first installment of the Year of the Saints (who is the patron saint of podcasters? The answer may surprise you!), and some u...

That's one hell of a title, isn't it? Made you look! In addition to flasked flatus, we talk about honesty in online kink commerce, the "Steve Vai groupie" (a video that was viral back when it meant copying VHS tapes and actually handing them around), a scammy handyman, and a big announcement about what the show's gonna sound like for the next few months. (And speaking of sound, we apologize for th...

It's OK not to be OK during the holidays. Commiserate with your pals Pitney and Amelia as we talk about how we just CAN'T EVEN right now. Set boundaries. Eat yummy food. And watch movies where people fight on Christmas because it's hella cathartic. (We discuss three: A Summer Place, The Ref, and the John Waters classic Female Trouble.)   Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and Brook Reading Podcast     (Wan...

Or should that be House of Snucci? Anyway...     Bitchy old queen opinions about Madonna, Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, Will & Jada, and crossdressing kids.   Promo: Ignorance Was Bliss  (Want to swap show promos?

Here we are again, that time of year where we talk about the stuff we're thankful for. But this year, we gave it a bit of a twist.      And I hope you all understood the episode title, Thankful Balboa. If you follow us on social media, you've seen us revisit past Thankful sequels, such as Thankful 2: Electric Boogaloo, Thankful 3: Rangarok, Thankful 4: The Revenge, and Thankful 5: The Gobbler Stri...

We are so sick of white women right now. First, Amelia got riled up because a couple of Karens told a Mexican woman she was wrong to buy decor for Dia de los Muertos at Spirit Halloween, and a Becky gave her crap over the meaning of the word "less." Then Pitney saw an article about a paranoid TikToker who is upset that all the Alexas in her house are listening to her. But things get much happier w...

Amelia's tenuous connections to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. Pitney is excited about the documentary Hail Satan? and what he learned about the Satanic Temple. Salem, Massachusetts has a weird way of "celebrating" their history this time of year. And this week in self-care, enough is enough.    Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and FriGay the 13th    (Want to swap show promos? Email us!)   We lov...

Welcome one and all to our All The Horror Special for 2021!   Tonight we were joined LIVE by Drew (Reel Feels Podcast), Mikey (Fellowship of the Geeks), Tony (Flicks XRayed), and Tricia & Siana (2 Girls on a Bench) to answer questions delivered to us by a spinning wheel filled with topics such as "hammiest performance in a horror movie" and "favorite low budget horror movie." We even played a roun...

When a relative is a member of the "organic elite" and thinks they have the right to be rude. We complain a lot about people who look down their noses at others for obnoxious and often uneducated reasons. And in this week's look at self-care, shake it off.   Don't forget we've got an #AllTheHorror live stream coming up on October 16th!   Promo: 2 Girls on a Bench  (Want to swap show promos? Email...

Instead of going to Texas Frightmare Weekend, we took separate vacations in haunted hotels! Pitney in the Brookdale Lodge in Felton, CA, and Amelia in the Driskill Hotel in Austin, TX. Find out about their storied specters, and whether or not we had any encounters with the dead! Hear about Amelia's visit to Austin's Museum of the Weird, the upsetting things she observed in the hotel bar, and how m...

A couple stories we couldn't handle at all. One is from Dan Savage's "Savage Love" column, and the other from "Am I The Asshole?" on Reddit. Then there's a bit of talk about perception of skinny vs fat, and the joys of smoking. And in this week's self care segment, the benefits of a good cry.   Promo: Aim For The Head Podcast   (Want to swap show promos? Email us!)   We love you for listening! Ple...

Sometimes the best self-care is not beating yourself up for not doing enough self-care. Don't compare yourself to people who seem to have nothing else to do but meditate and eat clean, because that's total crap. And then Pitney and Amelia compare dreams, and Amelia loses.   White Woman's Instagram by Bo Burnham:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHotXbGZiFY     Promos: Ignorance Was Bliss and 2 Ske...

The freckle community. Appropriating appropriation. Identification by phallus. When a cigar is definitely NOT just a cigar. Big Macs and banana surprise.  And this week in self care, fill up your senses.   Promo: Thanks For Coming!  (Want to swap show promos?
