Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

Goin’ deep on dirty talk, baby-birding and other grossness, butthole maintenance, taking care of your feet, and a wannabe hippy chick trying way too hard. And you gotta stay till after the credits, because this time there’s a fashion trend from the 90s we thought was really stupid.

The Social Dilemma. We watched it, and we have thoughts. Tricia may have been right about some things. The recent “cancellation” of Dr. Seuss. And be sure to stick it out till the post-credits scene where Pitney got thrown out of a Hickory Farms for a reason that honestly shouldn’t surprise you too much.

(hey, did you already download this and it was missing the ending? well, it's fixed! sorry about that!) Happy 1st Everybody-Stay-Home-niversary, you guys! This week, we hit you with a big ol' grilled cheese sandwich, a #YearInSelfCare reminder about respecting yourself, some excitement about Texas Frightmare Weekend, and then we go where things get ugly. Really ugly. And probably smelly, too. The alt-right filth in fandom. Who told these jackholes they were allowed to like cool...

This week we tackle the Colbert Questionert, 15 questions that help you really know a person. Our favorite sandwiches, scariest animals, worst smells, and MORE. Plus, the benefits of putting thoughts and feelings into actual WORDS. And if you’re curious about the old episode we mentioned where we take the Bernard Pivot questionnaire from Inside the Actor’s Studio, here you go: https://bitchenb.libsyn.com/inside-the-bitchen-studio Promo: Slay Queens Podcast (Want to swap show...

Selfies. We don't understand them. Or the people who constantly post them. Or the people who bully those people. Or Rihanna, who is apparently awful. And you know what else is awful? Hip dips. Apparently. And this week in self care, reduce your stress by paying off your credit cards. Promo: 2 Girls on a Bench (Want to swap show promos? Email us!) We love you for listening!

We're a little all over the place this week. We've got some commentary on religion, or rather the religious (because that's not the same thing), respect for the flag, respect for your neighbors, respect for your teeth, and then we bring back Bitchen in the Kitchen! This time it's all about soup. We're even giving you a recipe for minestrone! Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and Paranormal Burrito (Want to swap show promos? Email us!) We love you for listening!

Remember when Tipper Gore and a bunch of other politicians' wives with nothing better to do decided to be the nation's mommies and let us know what records were dirty? Good times. But what Tipper and friends didn't realize is the music they grooved to in the 1970s was far more dangerous. This week we talk about what the PMRC targeted and the insidious mind poison they missed. And this week in woo, Amelia takes us to the world of twin flames. It's so bad. Promo: Brook Reading...

It's that time of year again where we talk about gratitude, and things that make our world a better place. Everything about 2020 has been crazy, but some good has come out of it. We talk about the people who are struggling to make it work (such as teachers and creatives) in contrast to things like the effects of working at home full time on Amelia's emotional health. Also: - The joys of therapy via Zoom. - Food delivery services providing new exposure to small local restaurants. - Xbox...

Our best stories about our worst roommates. Breaking stuff, skipping out on bills, being generally gross - this one's got it all! And women who believe they've been pregnant for YEARS and doctors are just too dumb to agree with them. For real. The woo-woo world of cryptic pregnancies. And we know the title is weird, but if you listen, you'll understand. Promo: Invasion of the Remake (Want to swap show promos? Email us!) We love you for listening!

It's Pitney & Amelia's Spooky Stax! We're celebrating Halloween this year by sharing our love of Halloween themed records!

Angela in Sleepaway Camp. Liz in American Horror Story: Hotel. Charlie in Hereditary. Three very different ways of looking at trans identities.

Don’t forget October is ALL THE HORROR month, and our next episode is a special supersized discussion with our friend Dr. Leks Drakos about trans characters in horror. Tell your friends! This week we kick it off with an all new Hatin’ on Satan, where we make fun of a woman who thinks wearing face masks and standing six feet apart to control the spread of COVID-19 is Satanic! Link to the full YouTube video! And then WAY too many stories related to urine. We apologize for getting a...

First a bit of catching up, talking about dogs, how insane the weather is, and how you used to be able to afford to live in Austin when you couldn’t pay your bills on time. Then a quick “woo” lesson in urine therapy. Yup, urine and the people who swear by drinking it. Pitney saw a couple movies, Resolution and The Endless, and they haunted him so much he had to tell Amelia about them. Then suddenly we’re talking about the Shakers and Pitney starts singing. You know, like a normal...

First off, we are SO SORRY about the weird sound issues in this one. It's been insanely hot in California and Pitney's mom's house had NO AC so there was a fan on full blast and we didn't realize the sound was picked up until it was too late! Beware when Facebook ads suddenly offer you everything you’ve ever wanted, like hot tattooed guys in linen pants. Online clothes shopping can be a nightmare, especially when the stuff comes from some company in China you’ve never heard of. Caveat...

This week we're talking tarot! Learn how tarot can be a useful tool, even for non-believers like Amelia. Learn about the structure of the tarot deck (major and minor arcana, suits, court cards), and how card meanings work based on their position and the intuition of the reader. Also, we discuss weird public perceptions of what tarot is about, and how to choose a deck that will work for you. And, as always, we laugh a lot along the way. No year of woo segment this week, because the whole...

This week, Pitney and Amelia talk about exciting careers we could have had if only we’d made more of an effort. Or any effort at all, in Amelia’s case. Then some talk about learning to type sends us on a tangent about a favorite KISS album, which reminds Pitney how he and Tricia Von Liechtenstein met. And this week in woo, Amelia discovers “flower essences.” You MUST watch the video that inspired this segment! Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and 2 Girls on a Bench (Want to swap show promos?...

After a quick bit of catching up, Pitney and Amelia talk about Hamilton hot takes and how it’s not necessary to announce to the world that you don’t like a thing. All fandoms have this problem, but jeez people, just because someone likes a thing you don’t like doesn’t mean that person is WRONG. What can make or break a cast album. Memories of cute drag queens from back in the day. Has Amelia ever seen Firefly? The answer kicks off a discussion about stuff we don’t watch, and reasons why...
