Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

Exposing Ourselves

Stories of days that started off bad and then the world just kept piling on more and more crap. Amelia got heatstroke at a nude beach, and Pitney had to find money for a late power bill payment. Then some jackass gave Amelia a mullet in 2006. It’s a whole thing. And this week in self-care, the importance of sleep.   Promo: Invasion of the Remake  (Want to swap show promos?

Tickled By Elmo

Happy Pride, queers and dears! This year we’ve got a lot of fabulous stuff for you. A bit about what queer-friendly and inclusive stuff Target is up to, a couple of non-cis historical figures, and we give you the lowdown on a surprisingly subversive sixties comedy called The Gay Deceivers. It’s so much more than the difference between peonies and marigolds! Watch The Gay Deceivers (1969) on YouTube!  Also, The Fabulous Steve tells us about some of his favorite memories of pride parades past, and in this week’s self-care segment, we’re gonna just chill out and check in with our bodies for a couple minutes.   Be sure to check out this new documentary on Vimeo: Watch DONNIE: A Transgender Man's Story | Vimeo On Demand   Promo: Thanks For Coming!

Pride, Pronouns, and Peonies

Dog Poop on the Dance Floor

Hey! It’s Mental Health Awareness Month! Regular listeners are quite aware of our mental health or lack thereof, but we haven’t done an episode about it in a while, so here we are, talkin’ about it. We’re talking medication, masculinity, and making an effort to look out for ourselves. No shame here! If you're curious about our other episodes focusing on mental health issues, check out the mental health category on our website. Then, you and Pitney have movie-watching homework to do. Someday soon we'll do a deep dive on the Shudder original horror film Host. Get a quick peek into it at the end of this episode. And this week in self care, activating your parasympathetic nervous system.   Promo: FriGay the 13th   (Want to swap show promos? Email us!)   We love you for listening!

Yay! Therapy! v2.0

  Simple food versus complicated food. Why delicacies are things we probably shouldn't even be eating in the first place. Just because something is French, that doesn't mean it's fancy. We've got an idea for a gourmet seasoning that will make us millionaires. Then we take a giggly tangent into the world of adhesive underwear. And in this week's #YearOfSelfCare, chill out with radical acceptance.   Promos: Paranormal Burrito and 2 Skeptical Chaps  (Want to swap show promos?

Screw You, Frenchy!

Has the world become so sensitive that it’s necessary to apologize to imaginary people who haven’t yet gotten upset? Do we no longer assume that people aren’t out to offend us? Are some people so focused on themselves they can’t stand that everything isn’t about them? We have opinions.

Sorry Not Sorry

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.   Promos: 2 Skeptical Chaps and Brook Reading Podcast  (Want to swap show promos?

In My Mouth

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.   Promo: Paranormal Burrito  (Want to swap show promos?

(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.

The Rubber Chicken Incident

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.
