Spooky season is officially here, and what better way to ring it in than with a collection of ghost pet stories (thank you to Patron Christine for suggesting!)

| 9/27/26 | E500 Immortal Hallway Portals and Incriminating Insects | Ahhh!! It’s finally Episode 500!! So grab your favorite milkshake, mocktail, or cocktail and join us for this momentous occasion before the dreaded “Your moment has ended” screen appears. Today, Em takes us to Oregon for the haunted Wolf Creek Inn, where we encounter a ghost army, an absolutely unreasonable amount of Jolly Ranchers, and, of course, some classic Z.B. shenanigans. Then Christine brings us some history on Old Timey Forensics, which includes missing body parts, ancient insect forensics, and touches on some cases we’ve covered over the years. So thank you for coming along with us on this wild, weird, spooky, and surprisingly lemon-filled ride for all these years. We genuinely couldn’t have made it to 500 without you… and that’s why we drink!Want to listen ad-free? Join our Certified Yapper tier for $10/month on Patreon!

| 9/20/26 | E499 Symbiotic Snack Partners and Peppermint Pattie Problems (feat. Guest Host Bethany Watson) | Welcome to another rousing, titillating, & bone-chilling episode of And That’s Why We Drink! Christine couldn’t be here this week, so Em is joined by our very own Jerry O’Connell, the lovely Bethany Watson! Today, Em brings us the Staten Island urban legend of Cropsey, with a little side venture into the deeply upsetting true crime of the Willowbrook State School. Then, in a completely unplanned bit of synchronicity, Bethany covers a true crime case with a paranormal twist: the mysterious disappearance of Jacobo Grinberg. And if we ever vanish without a trace, we’ll find you in the lattice… and that’s why we drink!Links:Willowbrook: The Last Great Disgrace, Geraldo Rivera’s exposeWant to listen ad-free?

| 9/13/26 | E498 Glossy Grinch Lips and Ghost Escape Rooms | **Content Warning: crimes against children** It’s Episode 498 and we’re feeling like Spongebob in Sandy’s house for the first time. Today Em brings us to Indianapolis for the tale of the haunted Slippery Noodle Inn with its elusive cowboy ghost. Then Christine brings us a heavy and sad story with the case of the Groene Family, which leave us needing a palette cleanser about Leona’s current fashion choices.
