Not Tonight with Linda and Brenda

Fan Favorite Mama Brenda is back for our episode of firsts — first kisses, first “times”, first boyfriends, first Murderino memories, and the first time Mom let one of her children go missing.

Episode References: Robert Durst, Ted Bundy (not hot), the Green River Killer, JonBenet Ramsey, Diane Downs, Natalie Wood, Natalie Holloway, Matt Dillon, the cast of The Outsiders, Shia Labeouf, Joaquin Phoenix, Mr. Robot, Pete Davidson, Patrick Swayze, crackheads, and a Jesus-looking hippie dude.

Astrological houses, corona boyfriends, manifestations, Oprah, serious cult activity (heavy on the NXIVM and Manson Family), and getting stuck in K-holes.

Linda’s Ivy update, Irish corrections from our dear friend Jack, and Brenda tells her Church Lady story. Then, Mama Brenda appears and gives her own recollection of the Church Lady story which is entirely different. Who's telling the truth?

#Manassas, grandma stories, emo stories, and mutha uckas.

The finale to our 36 Questions Series -- talking weighted blankets, embarrassing stories, ADHD life, and being half Britney.

Linda’s new girlfriend, Brenda’s psychic reading, the one time Brenda stayed sexy but almost got murdered, serial killer birthdays, and our forked-up south nodes.

Linda sounds like Britney and hates Ani Difranco, Family Aerosmith stories, existential crises, math homework freakouts, Animal Crossing updates, and a request to send us your dang birth charts (and quesadillas).

Special guest Shinyribs is here! 

We talk about several crocodilians and Jeff effing Lowe. It’s what you came for.

Brenda is pissed. We sing a duet from Mr. Rogers. A little bit of our secret selves. Look, we don’t know what’s going on. Have fun.

We talk about that girl from Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Daniel the puppet (and Elton John’s brother?), then Brenda shares a bleary-eyed story about a weird bug.

We talk more wigs, then get down to brass tacks — what’s up with Carole?

Good night... sweet dreams... of wigs and tarot cards and alter egos.

Cults, tiger attacks, resilient weirdos, sicko weirdos, one cool dog, and a major murderino cliffhanger.

Talkin' ghosts, music,  vibe cards, a Leonardo da Vinci geekout, and Brenda whispers like Drunk Karen.

More Misery, Animal Crossing, Jenelle from Teen Mom, and a deep dive into the weird and wild story of an old neighbor named Timmy.

Misery. And More Misery... ever had hard butter on soft bread?

We have our first guest! Our mom is on the podcast talking about knives in the back door, ghost stories, a dog she had for two days, a murder we can’t actually talk about, and regular mom things. Sweet dreams!

Story Time! Discussing Brenda's favorite effed up childhood book,  The Cherry Migration - Story by Bruce Balan and Illustration by Dan Lane (who is equally important.)
