Jan 13, 202200:51:10Tap to summarizeHappy new year, lizards! We're back and what a winding road of recording this episode twice, having the audio bork differently two times, and then going with the original recording because it was slightly less bad this has been. All worth it for the story of Candy Jones, a.k.a. Arlene Grant, model possible MK Ultra victim. Buckle up for hypnosis, secret missions, possible Winter Soldiering, and fry bits.Also, a lengthy ode to Alias, a recommendation for Only Murders in the Building, and ~tales of pregnancy~.Sources:Wikipedia article on Candy Jones: https://bit.ly/3r9z0kgScience Digest, "Hypnosis Comes of Age": https://bit.ly/3GqqoMzDonald Bain, "The Control of Candy Jones" (audiobook): https://adbl.co/3tvxoUVOZY, "Was this Blond Bombshell the CIA's Secret Weapon?": https://bit.ly/3fjG7kAUnrevealed Files, "Candy Jones: A Secret Agent of the CIA Mind-Control Program": https://bit.ly/3KbsiD6*******Get in touch:Instagram and Twitter | @winetimespodMM | @truecrimewine69Katy | @katyhosswinetimespod@gmail.com

Transcribe →54 | Kaz II, the Ghost Yacht
Dec 9, 202100:46:07Tap to summarizeHow is it December?! Lizards, we recorded this one in a post-Thanksgiving haze, so in addition to the tale of Kaz II, the ghost yacht, get ready for opinions about gravy.Oh, right, we said ghost yacht. Further proof that you don't fuck with the ocean, back in 2007, the crew of the Kaz II disappeared with no explanation, in a way compared to the disappearance of the Mary Celeste's crew back in the late 1800s. We'll take a detour, don't worry.What's your opinion on gravy viscosity? Pre-order MM's biography, "Disheveled But Seaworthy," today. Take a drink whenever we give you a new reason to not go in the ocean ever. Movie corner! Since Katy just got around to seeing Rise of Skywalker, we have a timely Star Wars discussion. Our fingers are ON THE PULSE OF POP CULTURE, you guys. We also chat about Shang Chi and Hereditary.Sources:Kaz II on Wikipedia: https://bit.ly/3oEha98Mary Celeste on Wikipedia: https://bit.ly/3Gtxcc0The Guardian, "Australian coroner ends mystery of 'ghost ship'": https://bit.ly/3dAMU8MMedium, "Behind the Mystery of the ‘Ghost Yacht’": https://bit.ly/3DA1kApThe Paranormal Guide, "Kaz II Mystery": https://bit.ly/3oB2PtL*******Get in touch:Instagram and Twitter | @winetimespodMM | @truecrimewine69Katy | @katyhosswinetimespod@gmail.com

Etc.!Katy breaks MM's brain with a mushroom reference. "Hey, who wants to talk about some missing kids, now?" At what point when you're caught in a lie do you just give up? Also, hey, parents.

Transcribe →52 | Let's Not Meet
Nov 25, 202100:48:16Tap to summarizeWe're back with some spooky tales from the spookiest place on earth... Reddit. Katy and her scratchy voice went to r/letsnotmeet and found a few tales for MM to react to - do we believe they're real? Either way, let's not meet.There's a difference between people and FUCKING PEOPLE, you know what we mean? Also, if they say "stay on the trail," stay on the goddamn trail. Has no one read A Sound of Thunder, jfc. Don't play a drinking game with MM saying "noooope," you'll die. Katy will always assume there's a hillbilly that's going to hunt her. Pro tip from your millennial aunts: ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS.

Transcribe →50 | Point Defiance Park and Kell's Irish Pub
Nov 4, 202100:41:45Tap to summarizeLast episode was our birthday and this episode is our 50th! Cheers! For our 50th episode, Katy has two Washington-state stories that are spooky (Kell's Irish Pub) and spooky adjacent (the very tragic tale of the murder of Jennifer Bastian and how her ghost is reportedly seen in Point Defiance Park).We are, of course, ready as hell for the Animal Crossing update. We will give you our thoughts, of course. Katy had never really experienced Zak Bagans before researching Kell's and is truly, truly baffled by his whole... [gestures generally] thing. There's an unexpected connection to our Starvation Heights episode (#33)!

Transcribe →48 | The Oakville Blobs and the Toxic Lady
Oct 21, 202100:48:40Tap to summarizeSPOOKY SEASON continues on the Wine Times Mysteries, y'all! This week, Katy covers two more medical mysteries - the Oakville Blobs and the death of Gloria Ramirez, who has been dubbed the Toxic Lady, since several people treating her fainted and got sick. 1994 WAS A STRANGE TIME, OKAY? Contemplate your mortality~ Spooooky~Drinking game this week: every time MM says EW during the Oakville Blobs story, take a conservative sip of your drink. What would you do if weird jello blobs started raining down? Katy's brother should do marketing for Jell-O. When encountering a medical anomaly, make sure to account for the amount of smooth-brained women involved. Pro-tip: DON'T GOOGLE THESE, Y'ALL.Also, Katy got MM into Stardew Valley, so we're branching out from Animal Crossing corner. Be advised if this is a thing for you - because it was relevant to the discussion, Katy didn't cut out her bones snapping at the end of the episode. There are a few knuckle cracks.
