The "2 Executed Dogs" Comedy Hour

Explicit content warning

03/29/24 • 63 min

Everyone asked for it, so here’s an episode where Carley and Blair (try not to) talk about the two dogs that were executed for witchcraft. In a new Girl Historians tradition, it only took 5 or 6 episodes into the season to lose their minds. There’s lots of singing.

Also: Blair won the Princess Diana award at Toronto Sketchfest, lots of singing, Breaking Bad spoilers, bad drug experiences, addressing a Truthtanic controversy, St. Paddy’s Day, James Acaster’s new “Hecklers Welcome” stand-up show, comments on the podcast, hog videos, your mom’s weird friends, little pugs hexing you with crusty white eyes, defending Rent and Tick Tick Boom, secret Letterboxd accounts, Carley’s sister’s enemy, Blair crying, and a musical finale.
