- It's episode 356 and on Wednesdays we get the middle finger by text message! Tune in this week for some prank call talk as well as some creepy stories. First Em brings us a 101 class on mirrors - are they both an entrance and a dead end at the same time? Then Christine covers the heartbreaking and mysterious case of Darlie Routier. And for our next trick... and that's why we drink!

Who are these people who want short episodes??? Youre banter makes me too happy 😊
ME every time they mention people who’ll complain or skip the banter! It’s what helped me get through 3am work shifts!
Same here!!! I love long episodes!!!
I have tried other podcasts (when I ran out of atwwd episodes) and I really don't like how dry and short they are, the banter makes it feel more personal and funny!
Ikr - Em and Xtine keep apologizing for long intros and banter, and long episodes - but it's the best part 😅. Also, I never see the comments that complain about rambling eps!
Totally got my dog from a rescue in Ohio named “barely used pets” 🤣
For real, the banter is my favorite along with the derailments. 😊 This is how my brain works on the daily. Plus, it helps me when I'm feeling lonely, stressed or over stimulated. ❤ Thank you all for the amazing videos and episodes on rituals. Christine chapel's and Empire's voice sooth my soul. Can't wait to see you guys in SLC, UT. 🧡
“I’m going through a tunnel” I’m using that next time a student asks me a question answered in the syllabus.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy the elevator music ♡ this podcast is superb.
On behalf of my great-grandson, I apologize for his unwarranted text
"I'll keep it together so you can be the main character and then we'll swap" THE BEST
cackling 30 seconds in
I just came home from a night I thought I wouldn’t survive because social anxiety and your upload “it’s like a reward”
I love y’all ❤️ k byeeee
Okay so I listen on Spotify 99.9% of the time but I always come here when Christine has an unexpected "guest" appearance and whether it's cat, dog, or baby it always makes me happy!!!
This is the most I’ve ever related to anyone’s conversation patterns, in my life.
If you wanna know what your bit is Christine, it's "this one is a doozy" lol. I love it, don't change
“Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face - there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes.
Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself.
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.”
Fernando Pessoa
"Avoid sleeping with a mirror facing your bed"
Me, with not one but two full sized mirrors facing my bed: 👁👄👁
I ❤ long episodes
We LOVE the banter. This is one of the most unhinged episodes. I've listened since basically the beginning and this has to be one of my absolute favorites!!❤😅😂
6:29 Cut to me, ramen noodles hanging out of my mouth Cthulhu style, laughing through my nose, and ttying not to shit myself. 😂
I had the EXACT same cackle as Em when Christine said muddly blary 😅
The banter reminds me of how much fun my sister and I have together and I love it
I was excited to see a long episode. But I got even more excited when I realized the 1st was two days ago, and I get to listen to Listeners Stories after! 🤯🎉
First thing, absolutely love the long episodes, especially due to banter. Secondly, there are plenty of apps that you can use a fake phone number and choose one from anywhere.
One thing I can't stop thinking about with the reflective surfaces is what about spectacle wearers? Would Em have to use some kind of device to prevent them being reflective if that's possible, or just go without them for a period of time?
Lastly, I feel terrible for the family in so many f-ed up aspects, but how in the absolute hell can Darren say he might know more about someone else who murdered his own children, but it's not important enough for him to care to potentially save the life of the mother of those children?! That he takes Drake to see her in prison and knowing she's fighting on death row. What about when Drake hears that information someday and knows the man who raised him could've been holding the key for him to live a life being raised by his mother...
I dread doing dishes and putting away laundry so I watch the podcast as my parallel play. Personally I think the banter makes it better lol never mad at the longer episodes!
Such a slippery slope this podcast and I love it ❤❤❤❤
I’ve heard so many times now about mirrors facing the bed and different bad things but I’ve always had them facing my bed so when I get up the first thing I see is me
probs my favorite episode to date
mirrors/doors facing the bed is considered bad feng shui because of too much energies from 'portals' facing your resting area, i personally feel more comfortable with my bed at an angle from them
“Happy Friend, Happy Em”
As if I don’t love your banter enough! Listening to you all while stoned is a whole new ride! 😂
This is one of my favorite episodes recently!! I use y'all as my parallel play humans especially for laundry so I love that Em talked about that! Bring on the long silly goofy episodes
Yass a longer one!! ❤❤❤
Do not stop the banter!! I live for it 😂
22 seconds in, very strong start. Excellent.
Christine you should cover/look into Mckamey Manor! The rabbit hole goes so deep. It’s a wild ride through the haunt and the owner Russ.
40 mins in & still lmao thanks guys you are great!
Yay for the long eps! 🥳
“THRECK“ has me 🪦
lol turkey was part of mesopotamia so Christine guessed right. egypt is in africa and mesopotamia was in the middle east
All the mirrors in the Villisca Axe Murder House were covered.
WALTS GRANDSON?
Omg from Huntsville or Decatur? Thats in Arkansas close to where we are from. 😮
Em should watch Skeleton Key!
Do you think Darly could have been ‘medicated’ in some way to get through that birthday party day?
What if Walt’s great grandson is also a ghost and was reaching out from beyond the grave?? Idk why this was my first thought, but it was. Maybe I spend entirely too much time watching ghost shows 😂😂😂
In regard to Christine’s case- I find the birthday party unsettling. A mother who is afraid for her own safety in the hospital a week prior is now throwing a birthday party in the cemetery- doesn’t add up in my eyes.
Put this ep on while I cleaned my room! So helpful! Managed to clean and declutter and dust my shelves and wash and change my sheets!
Love a fur baby cameo! & please always banter!! I listen when I'm at work and it feels like we're having a kiki🥰
christine is would love to hear you cover the Hart family murders, i have met the people involved in this case and it’s very sad
What a gross miscarriage of justice...The statue for guilty verdicts is "beyond a reasonable doubt." Juries routinely completely misunderstand their roles as jurors and it is beyond frustrating. They aren't there to decide whether she did it, they are there to decide whether it is reasonably possible that she did NOT. That many unanswered questions should never result in a guilty verdict.
Gotta be Pure Romance lol! If it is the balm is the bomb diggety and even works well for a lip balm.
Sqidward's really gettin the business from that crow, but at least his head isn't nailed to the wall anymore lmao 😅
I wonder if Em has heard of a "true mirror"? One that doesn't show your reflection, but flips it so you see yourself the way others would see you. Invented by a guy with the last name Walter- coincidence? 🤔
Sex toy dresser...freaking amazing! 😂🎉😂
I'm here for the banter! 😭
Had to come here to finish the episode because the last two minutes are messed up on Spotify
Im crying im laughing so hard
Tell me why I just had a video about Blue Lava from Indonesia come up on my twitter TL this evening (after listening to this ep this morning). Either a really weird synchronicity or our phone's artificial intelligence has really stepped it up a notch. Creepy either way
I assumed everyone thought mirrors are as scary as I did 😅
Black Mirror was named for the reflection in phone/computer/tv screens hence the focus of many episodes involving technology. So there were many “black mirrors” in the show fyi!
Got me rethinking the psyche of the Villisca Axe Murderer. Lookin at you reverend or as I like to call him, creepy pastor. 👀
Btw, I will never complain that episodes are too long!! NEVER!!
Ok listening to ep 68 and walt asked for family to reach out js
Also im not listening backwards im listening chaoticly xxx
Wait… didn’t people see their reflection in water? 🤔
There’s this idea that the only way people were meant to look at themselves was by looking in the water, crouched down to see themselves. I always thought it was interesting.
I think that they are noting the difference between seeing yourself in something fixed like a mirror vs a reflection that is less accurate like moving water or in a spoon. 🙂
@@jaybird7915 oh my gosh I’ve heard this too I think that’s why I immediately thought of water. Damn thank you for reminding me!
@@TediruxeveltI posted the quote in another comment after some digging!
I don’t know why they spend so much time think the only way people could see themselves before mirrors was trough water surfaces. They could just look at a silver platter or something.
I heard that “™ ™ ™” !!! MBMBaM!!
I was listening on podcast app but came here for Juni content
Now I’m tempted to turn my bedroom into a room of mirrors. That might be kind of trippy
Just wanted to chime in about this but cause I fucking LOVE beach glass. Lol
Beach glass and sea glass CAN be made naturally by lightning striking sandy beaches; y’all are right that glass is made of sand, it’s basically just melted sand.
"Magma" Em: UUEGHH 😩
My closet doors are fully mirrors and they face my bed so maybe I’m fucked? But I like them. I can practice dance with them!
I think Blue Lava is blue because of sulfur.
I think you'll be okay if you break your mirror, unless it's literally filled with liquid mercury
I think the reasoning for the mother doing this to her kids and not her husband can be pointed back to that journal entry where she talked about wanting to grow old with him, but she missed the spontaneity of life (possibly before their children). Perhaps her only goal was to stage an attack on her kids and then it would just be her and her husband again. Just a thought, however she was obviously suffering from post partum depression which can obviously cause you to behave in ways you normally wouldn’t. Now I say this ONLY as a thought IF the mother had done this and not an intruder.
Em, did you mean body doubling?
Yeah. That’s what they mean. I’ve always experienced this but never knew it was something. I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago. I’m 37.
@@DelliHopp same and same! It was such a relief being able to explain to people why I wanted them around while I cleaned 😂
I was gonna say parallel play is something toddlers do 😭😭😂
@@kimbjackson I was like "well...i also like to do my own things and not interact when I'm hanging out with others" 😂
Lololololol “if anyone else has a secret passageway sex cabinet…?” *raises hand* My bed frame has hidden spaces with sliding doors just above where one would lay their head and the difference between what my spouse and I keep in our hidden drawers on our designated sides of the bed is hilarious. My husband’s drawer: lots of different medicines and drugs for his various ailments such an inhalers, pain killers, adhd meds, and the random pair of gages he keeps saying he’s gonna wear but never does. My drawer: sex toys, kink shit, two non sexy time candles, and a sloth beanie baby my college roommate gifted me on our first day freshman year. 😂
I was positively vibrating waiting for the "vampires probably have reflections in modern mirrors" bit! You didn't disappoint!
Also, team #freedarlie 😢
50:24 mirrors were discovered/invented and humanity has deteriorated ever since 😂
I think the mother is innocent. I think the husband did it and or paid something to do it.
I'm only at the gum thing, but for myself, I know people chew gum to try not to cry. It's a distracting sensory that can help not cry
When my little sister (5 years old) died, we had birthday parties at the gravesite with balloons etc. The adults always held it together for us kids. It was back at the house afterwards that the tears came.
You don’t know how you'll handle a terrible situation until you're in it.
My partner and i dont have mirrors, at all. Even the ones in our bathroom, are absolutely covered. We believe mirrors can steal a soul and they are also a 2 way portal from our world to the under realms. They invite Demonic presences to come through.
I think it could easily go either way in terms of her interview and the birthday party. You can see it as extremely callous or you can see her behavior as shock and almost a sense of denial on her part as to the reality of the situation. It makes me feel more inclined to believe her innocent. I think anyone who could murder their sons and stage it, would be slightly more cunning and circumspect in their behavior.
The text was probably a wrong number. Not very nice.. 😢
Or a prank because Christine has often talked about a ghost in her house whose name is Walter.
Yes it's a reference to an old photo. I just learned that.. my bad 😔
I was taught in my undergraduate geology class that mica glass was used as the first mirrors 🫤
Hey!
Wasn't there a man named Walter in one of Christines old photos? The haunted one? 🙃
I’m like…..not a lava expert exactly but I did study biology and geology in Iceland in the late 90s and managed to fall in a volcano, and the blue lava is caused by the sulphur content of the lava. It appears blue if there’s a higher concentration of it. 🩵
At least that is what they told us at the time. I’m not googling it to independently verify.
