Hysteria (Yeah Ghost)

We are obsessed with the New York Times Spelling Bee game, are you? Join Michael and me as we unravel our addiction to spotting those elusive long and short words, and chat about the mental gymnastics involved. We also celebrate our global listeners from the UK, Japan, Russia, and Australia, and share a few laughs over the quirks of different accents (including Anne’s really terrible Alan Rickman impression), reminiscing about a memorable trip to St. Lucia.

This episode takes a nostalgic turn as we recount Silver Lake’s weekend treasure hunt for blue and white crockery in antique stores. Anne relives a few of her adventures at Kingsland Manor on Cape Cod, where the art of selling met genuine antiques, thanks to master salesman George Brennan. Then, uncover the surprising origins of Pottery Barn—from a man scavenging in upstate New York to an iconic brand. It’s a journey through the fascinating world of collectibles and home decor.

But that’s not all—we venture into the realm of true crime podcasts, cultural references, and an intriguing Yeah Ghost hoodie for Michael. We explore the significance of “Spinal Tap,” discuss a mysterious disorder in Genesee County, and touch recent antisemitic events at UNC. Wrapping up with tales of fashion, friends, and celebrities, including a fun discussion about Jason Statham and a night at the iconic club Regines, we promise an episode packed with engaging stories and lively conversation. Don’t miss the special audio clip of Jason Statham and match it to Anne’s impression.
