Real ChillsShiver - Imaginary FriendsWe talk about the creepy imaginary friends children have...And how creepy kids are, in general.
We debated even posting an episode but we wanted to spend a small amount of time together doing something that makes us happy, as friends.
Do what you can. We are recommending the Okra Project (https://www.theokraproject.com/) and the Equal Justice Initiative (eji.org) as just two of the causes you should research and consider supporting. Stand together. Black Lives Matter.

Hear our late-takes on Tiger King, some Instagrams you should be following, and how all of our teenage boyfriends were probably descendants of the Pennsylvania cryptid, the Squonk: a being that mopes around, crying in the woods.

Real ChillsDan D'Aprile - Ghost Hunting with MomDAN D'APRILE talks about his ghost-hunting mom, working on the set of GHOST ADVENTURES, and what the Black Dahlia house is like IRL 65+ infamous years later.
We didn't realize paranormal investigation societies have the same level of drama as the Philly comedy scene-- only this time, the stakes are BEYOND life and death.
We play a game of WOULD YOU RATHER but after listening to this episode, you'll be asking yourself why we didn't play TRUTH OR DARE OR HAIR. Truly, a missed opportunity on our end.

Real ChillsChe Guerrero - Past Lives LivedWE'RE BACK! SEASON 2 coming for you and we're starting things off with our friend, CHE GUERRERO. We talk about our earliest memories (spoiler: birth?) and about past lives. We make wild guesses about the essence of human nature and learn none of us actually understand capitalism. We play a quick game of Would You Rather and it goes deeeeep. Che's album, A Temporary Summit, is out now and you should buy it (capitalism?)

Real ChillsEpisode 10 - Alien Witch FingersOn this episode, Cody Wright tells us about his encounters with aliens. Are we saying that intergalactic species traveled all through outer space, possibly crossing dimensions of existence and physics, on their advanced technologies, unfathomable to our understanding-- to mess with a kid...in the woods...of NEW JERSEY?!?! Yes. Yes, we are saying that. We also talk about Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy and play a game of Real Questions.

Real ChillsEpisode 9 - Killing the DeadThis episode we have the very funny George Brudermann on to talk about growing up in the New England vampire country-- Connecticut! We goss about who in Philly Comedy is most likely a psychic vampire (spoiler: it's probably all of us, tbh.) We discuss an "academic" study of modern vampirism and unscientifically analyze whether all figurative draculas might be OCD. In our group therapy segment, we reveal our own personal neurosis top it off with a very revealing game of HAUNT, MARRY, KILL.

Real ChillsEpisode 8 - Sleepover GamesWe're back from a summer vacation! This week we have Roya Hamadani on the podcast to talk about ghosts of the Philippines! We chat about the creepy sleepover games we played as kids and if you fall asleep while listening to this episode, we will definitely braid your hair, put your hand in warm water, and make you summon a spirit in our parents' bathroom! Our game this round is Fiction or Folklore and we keep it pan-Asian --with some beasties and ghouls you've probably never heard of. LYLAS!

Real ChillsE7 - Bigfoot Comes Out To PlayThis episode, Jack Fitzsimmons tells us about that time he actually saw BIGFOOT and, honestly, we couldn't be more jealous. We fangirl'd out about now being two degrees removed from Bigfoot and are mad that it didn't bring us any degrees closer to Kevin Bacon. Le sigh.
We talk about The International Museum of Cryptozoology in Portland, Maine. We also play a game of 20 Questions-- Cryptid Edition!

Real ChillsEpisode 6 - It Sees You When You're SleepingThis week our guest is the very funny Megan Chialastri. You might say they "suffer" from sleep paralysis but, as fans of the strange, we celebrate it. Megan is an unaccredited expert on true crime everything-- which comes in very handy when talk true crime documentaries and we dissect the Twitter spectacle that was Dear David. Spoiler: We all would have asked better questions. In a rousing game of Would You Rather and we confirm that Megan and Meg are complete opposites despite sharing the same name.

Real ChillsThe Haunted Smush Room and Other TalesPat Dohony lived in a real-life haunted house-- where he generously let his guests sleep in the basement. This story is too wild to write a summary but let's just say this is riveting until the end. We butcher Spanish pronunciations from the story Meg shared about a small town in Mexico who were visited by spirits and gold.
We play a twist on the classic drinking game, "Don't Judge Me," and, not passing judgement is REALLY the hardest part.

Real ChillsEpisode 4 - Christina's Unwanted RoommateChristina Anthony dishes about her WORST roommate-- a ghost! Spoiler: He's a fuckboi. This ghost-dude will be in-between forever until he learns how to be less of a dipshit. He also has depression because he never comes out of his room.
We blow Christina's mind with the demon-talk AND we discuss innovations in tampering with the spirit world via 3D-printing. Can we 3D print some protection spells?
We play a game of Fiction or F'Real and all learn something about the many treasures of Oregon.
