The Bottom Bible

The tricks and treats keep coming this week, this time in the form of urban legends. You know them, you've heard them, and you've retold them incorrectly at countless parties. We found some good ones, so let's gather around the Bottom Bible campfire and have a little scare 'n share.

 

What are some of your favorite urban legends? Share them with us at thebottombible@gmail.com or leave us a message on the old Bottom Bible after hours hotline (805) 628-2397.

The spooky days are upon us, and we don't just mean the real-life nightmares we're living. It's actual Spooky Season, and we're going to try to escape the current hellscape by diving into some terrifying tales of people who were accidentally declared dead and/or buried alive. As if we needed something else to fear, am I right? Join us in this classic search engine wormhole, let's pretend we're at a socially distant slumber party with your best pod pals.

Unless you've been living under a dick-shaped rock, you've probably seen (or at least heard of) Chris Evans' accidental dick pic whoopsie-daisy moment. So this week we're looking at accidental celeb nudes moments, when those wacky celebrities we all know and love have accidentally, or "accidentally" posted their own nude photos. There's also a bonus callback to some royal jewels!

This week we are answering a question from one lovely listener named Joceeelllllyyynnn. Jocelyn has asked us a simple but fairly common question: Can you go from "friends with benefits" to an actual relationship?"

So what do you think? Can you go from "fook" to official?

We weigh in, oh we weigh in HARD. Tune in to see if you agree.

Do you have a question you'd like us to answer, a hope you'd like shattered?

This week we have a relaxed fit episode discussing our personal experiences with talk therapy. Vanessa shares with her experience as someone who has recently just begun a brand new therapy journey. Katy peppers in her experience as someone who has been on a therapy path for about 3 years now. Join us for a relaxed but truthful discussion about our mental health voyages. 

I'm sure by now you're all very familiar with Animal Crossing New Horizons; it was the "IT" game of the lockdown. While this game is very popular with the young, it seems to be equally as popular with the young at heart. More and more, research finds that older generations are turning to video games to ward off depression, for mental dexterity and for a sense of community. Join us as we highlight three of the most popular "Senior Gamers" currently streaming, selling turnips (if ya know ya know) and twitching their way into our hearts. 

 

Some might say it's the most wonderful time of the year... BACK TO SCHOOL! This year things are a little different, so we're going back to simpler times and reminiscing about our back to school favorites. Must-have school supplies, back to school fashion moments, and the TV that fed our souls and filled our hearts with joy.

 

What were some of your must haves? Are you a Ticonderoga Stan? Did you fuck with wide-ruled trash? We want to know! Listen to this week's episode and tell us how your memories compare, we wanna hear from you!

We sit here completely astonished and utterly perplexed as we give you our 100th episode. We cannot thank you enough for listening, for downloading, for sharing this podcast with your friends and (cool) family members. Thank you for indulging in all of our fart facts and torcons. 

For the 100th episode we flipped the script and asked you, the listener, to submit to us your questions; anything was fair game. We went old media, printed them out and literally pulled them out of a hat. We reminisce about past episodes, reveal some very personal details that we haven't shared with you before and discuss what's next for our anything-goes-except-unsolicited-dick-pics-podcast. 

So again, thank you. Next week: Episode 101.

xoxo, 

Katy & Vanessa  

If you're great at counting like us...then you realize this is the LAST episode before we hit out 100th episode!

True to form, our brilliant Vanessa came up with the idea to ask one each other about our "firsts"; covering an array of milestones: First bra, first kiss, first drug, first job to name a few. Meth and Beetles and Bras; oh my! 

Join us, we PROMISE this episode is full of surprises! 

And yes, that is an Office "Dinner Party" reference for all of Katy's fellow Office fans. Snip Snap Snip Snap 

This week Katy deep dives into the Tradwives movement, which was is a movement that has spread with the help of social media for women who prefers to take a traditional submissive role in marriage. Sounds harmless, if not a little old-fashioned, right? Well.... Katy finds that the domestic waters are murky with the movement being mostly made up of upper-class White women, and its association with extreme right-wing beliefs and White supremacists. Join us for a fascinating look into a movement that isn't quite as squeaky clean as its followers would like you to believe.
