wish they would talk about more dumb [ __ ] then I've got great news for you
great news for you we have a patreon we've been talking about this for literally two years and it finally felt
like fun and exciting for us to create and so with the patreon we have lots of
different levels that you can choose to support us regardless of your your financial situation all the levels are
the same and so support us with whatever you want whatever you can and you will get some bonus unhinged content from us
so every month at least we will be recording an episode of a court of Molly and Madison which is our bonus pod which
if you like our tangents if you like our chaos you're going to love this as a you're going to love this as a spoiler
we won't be sharing magic moments on a court of Molly and Madison or aom as we've been calling it we will be sharing
our most unhinged voice note that we sent to each other throughout the week so yes that alone is worth it it's uh
We've recorded a couple because we want to have like a bank MH as it comes out so you'll have at least a few to to
binge right as you get access but as we recorded them I'm like this is the best
thing we've ever done it's so much fun and we say at least once a month because we've been recording them and having
such a good time that you will maybe get some bonus content when we're feeling a little bored when we need to like spark
some creativity that's been the most fun part of it is I thought that adding another podcast would be like hard and
scary but what I love so much about this community is that you guys have given us so much space to be ourselves and that's
what you guys have loved so much about this podcast that we just get to have fun and be silly for an hour and talk
and hang out and that's my favorite part about doing this podcast so it's like just like I get more of my favorite bits
and it's made me feel more creative for this podcast yeah agree agree also I did
make a declaration at the end of the first episode of aaom that if 100 people sign up for our patreon I will do
Richard Simmons sweat into the oldies 3 live with you all so oh I forgot about that
promise if that doesn't entice you I don't know what
will thoughts and prayers for me and for us if you're like what does Richard
Simmons have to do with this podcast you're just going to have to listen and find out you're just G to have to listen and find out and you might want to
listen to the end of this podcast if you want a little taste # sneak
peek okay all right let's start with our magic moments of the past 100 episodes
Magic Moment of the Pod Madison go a magic moment of the Pod does it have to
be something that happened on the podcast no just something relevant to
the podcast because of the podcast this moment happened okay okay okay okay my magic moment is about a year and a half
ago the very first time someone came to the store because of our podcast I remember
that day the first time I got to meet another human being who came up to me
and said I listen to your podcast and she was from out of state
yeah was that Meg it so clearly yes Megan I didn't say Megan I didn't say
your name because I was so scared I was going to get it wrong but Molly said it first so I feel
better Megan came from Tennessee she was wow in town seeeing family and I got to
meet her and that was the first time in my life someone has ever been like can we take a picture together the strangest
moment I'm sure I acted like a total freak so sorry I haven't gotten much better in interacting with you guys
again so sorry a little bit of um I'm what they call an inside cat I don't do
well with with others that's why I have a podcast is because you could just sit inside and you don't talk to you don't
talk to anybody but it was like the moment that I was like oh we're doing
something and people are listening and like somebody would take time out of their [ __ ] day to come to my family's
small business and just because they hear me talk online like that's wild and
that was when I really was like oh this is going to change my life yeah yeah and can't confirm it has can't confirm okay
what was yours there's so many so many I thought of one and then now I I think of
another one that like is equally really cool so I think I'm just going to go with that one and it was the fact that
we got to go to Disney together to take our merch photos to
take our merch photos where I mean it was just like a genuinely fun day like
you know how sometimes you go to Disney and there's like a bummer moment where like everyone's tired and their feet hurt uhhuh like I feel like we skipped
the bummer part and we just like we like our feet hurt great let's all go home okay yeah like I that is let's listen to
the rent soundtrack on the way home our friendship I think that's what has given
this podcast so much longevity is that but we really are so committed to what is easy and fun mhm
and that trip was such a culmination of that of like no I'm not I refuse the I
refuse the pressure to be here from open to close and I refuse the pressure to ride every ride and like what if we just
all choose our most important thing and we just prioritize those things and then we eat a silly little snack and we go
home and it was so fun it was so fun it was like one of the highlight of my year
and the photos are so silly they're so silly and I think like really one of the
Magic parts of this podcast is all the ways that it's made sure that we get to hang out in real life I know I know I
was like the other one I was like the other one I was thinking about was when we did the anniversary oh yeah episode
in person and really it was just because I wanted to come see you uhhuh that's the best part is it's like what are what
are ways that we can say we're working and we technically do something productive but really we just get to
hang out all day yeah and that's honestly like part of the reason why I love this podcast is because it forces
us to hang out for two hours every single week yes I'm like and then stay in constant communication which as
someone with ADHD I have a really hard time keeping in touch with my friends if they're not on my schedule I talked to
you probably more than I talked to my mom mhm I definitely talk to you more than I talked to my mom I talked to you more than I talked to my husband I think
I think I talk to you more than I talk to D and I know because I'll be on the couch texting and be like m Med again
uhhuh yeah I'm like mhm uhhuh last night I literally had to be like we're solving a
[Laughter] mystery because we were solving a mystery I was like I promise I'm
listening I just H like this is really important we're Instagram we are digging into the archives of someone's
ex-husband's mom's Facebook to figure out and it's really important I promise
I will listen to how your day was just give me 45 minutes to solve this thank you love you
bye yeah exactly exactly and I feel like and it's so interesting because we're so
in sync with each other like I remember a couple days ago I was like so today sucks and you're like great I'm
in a piss poor mood too and I was like cool you want to just not record today yeah can we it's always like we are so
uh it's so good our our flow of energy where we're just both like tomorrow work great
we'll check in how we're feeling tomorrow yeah it's something I have a
lot of gratitude for all right gratit toe you're a gratit toe you're a grat
frog it's something I have a lot of gratitude for anyways I take it all back you're a hateful
Craton oh on that note before we dive into our woo Awards our award show that
we made up with five different categories this is the longest standing metaphysical award
show in history we've just been it's been passed down to us yes before we
dive into that let's take a moment to hear a word from our sponsors this episode is sponsored by
little treat magic the ancient and sacred art of making life better one impulsive snack at a Time Ever Had a Bad
Day magically healed by MC flurry with not one but two toppings ever transcended the mortal plane after
taking that first sip of an absurdly crispy Sprite that's not just a snack
it's a spell with our exclusive churo invocation ritual simply whisper I
deserve this before your first bite and feel all negativity dissolve into cinnamon sugar Bliss little treat magic
because sometimes the simplest spells are the most powerful available wherever snacks are served and Vibes need
restoring God I love that sponsor my favorite sponsor to date okay into
the woo Awards so our first category we actually
asked you on Instagram to nominate some uh some potential winners
here so our first category is the most unhinged tangent so this is for the biggest off-topic spiral that somehow
still made it into an episode and the nominees are [ __ ] Mary Hill the groundhog Zaden and reand our tangent on
shifting into the Harry Potter Universe to have sex with Draco Malfoy the dead mouse pendulum of it all Kiki and BBA
and how do eels reproduce my favorite part about this is that we didn't discuss who wins oh
yeah okay on the count of three we're gonna say who we think should win ready okay one one two [ __ ] Mary kill yes
like the dead mouse pendulum is Iconic de missed by Magic lore but it was
grounded in reality it it it was it was grounded in like in the heart of the episode genuinely yeah and Kiki and buba
was a genuinely good tip that people have messaged me saying has helped them meditate [ __ ] Mary kill with the
groundhog that does Groundhog's Day Z Ron and
resand that had no basis in what we were talking about it got so many comments so
many people responded it's our most commented on episode and you know
what I would do it again I would ask it again I would I
would in case you missed it here's a clip from that episode
in this corner Shadow daddy number one in this corner the
groundhog wait okay [ __ ] Mary kill Zaden
resand groundhog but you can't kill the groundhog that has to be a rule you
can't kill the groundhog you can't oh
no I fear that like the way that I read these books recent like
I think that whoever I don't kill would change depending on what book I had read
most recently you know like I think I would have to marry the groundhog
because sure I don't want to [ __ ]
it this is really the worst I hate this imagine can you
imagine stumbling upon this podcast just I really they were like we're going to talk about shout out and suddenly where
[ __ ] Mary kill and there's a groundhog involved I hate it here and then I would [ __ ] zadan and I
would have to kill reand yeah I think that's probably how I would go too but I would feel really bad
about it if you're listening on Spotify let us know and if you kill the
groundhog just know you're cheating yeah you can't because it's too easy if you
kill the groundhog yeah you can't kill the groundhog but if you [ __ ] the groundhog don't tell me either
ah Phil I'd [ __ ] him any day of the week no you have to marry Phil and preserve
his Chastity it's a Loveless married it's a marriage of convenience it is a marriage
of convenience because I don't want to [ __ ] the groundhog I'm sorry and for those of you who answered
and did [ __ ] the groundhog just know I remember and you're on a list you are on a watch list and the two people who
cheated and said they were G to kill the groundhog you're on a worse list there's
another list for you and it's not good no no and our next category is most
iconic episode title for the most ridiculous or oddly specific episode name our nominees are what can we learn
about magic from Taylor Swift low effort rituals for creativity when you're in a
piss poor mood or meditation hacks for the ADHD brain all are oddly specific
oddly specific all right should we say who we think we should in on the count of three yes yeah I like this part where
we didn't plan yeah yeah yeah ready one one two three low effort rituals for
creativity when you're in a pis mood did you change yours as I started talking no
but we're out of sink and so so I wasn't sure if you were talking yet or not I
think that's what really makes it a demystify magic Extravaganza is that we've planned all of it except for the
one really important part where there's a winner yeah yeah yeah but I love that episode and it does still slap so and
here's a little clip from that episode in case you missed it I really like um like an active
meditation when I'm in a creative slump like going for a Walkin nature or um
like dancing around in my living room whenever I feel like this is is not going to surprise any regular listener
but whenever I feel like I don't have the motivation or the energy to film I just put on um a little little diddy
called Aaron's Party come get it and I perform that with 110% of my energy in
my kitchen for my dogs yep works every time this is my formal request uh Molly if you don't know does meditations on
YouTube and they are fabulous this is my official request for a meditation for a piss poor mood I have one what do you
mean is it called meditation for a piss poor mood have I missed it no no no no no I'm going to write that down though
write for frustration no I need piss poor mood and you know exactly what I mean category number three most bizarre
but weirdly useful tip another one that we asked you on Instagram to give us our nominees this is a spell ritual or tip
that seems silly but actually worked and the nominees are energy cleansing while you go piss
girl meditating on Kiki and BBA washing your shower curtain on the
full moon reading smut for sacral healing and manifesting using video
games these are some really good these are some really good tips can I tell you one that was submitted that did not make
the list of nominees but I would like to give like a a special nod to a nod yeah uhhuh somebody did say that they learn
from this podcast that you can order a McFlurry on the McDonald's app and that's what wins in my my heart
that is to me what is the most important tip that you could have learned from this podcast always order on the
app I actually started using the app because I wanted to get points for my
always coupon there's always a coupon the problem with me is I only get Sprite
sometimes fries I was going to say no French spr sometimes I get a french fry
love a french fry they're changing their french fries though so really they're yeah they're going to cook them in beef
fat again I won't be able to eat them oh tough I know so I'll have to get my Sprite at McDonald's and my fries at
Burger King it's a hard KN life for a little treat I know anyways let's say
who we think our winner should be on three one two three energy c
p oh there's a disagreement wow what happens now means that means you all
have to vote Yes so our our top contenders are cleansing your energy
while you pee or reading smut for sacral healing I think we should make the argument for why our choice should win
and then I agree should weigh in on Instagram I agree I agree I agree okay
so for me the winner is clear energy cleansing while you pee this is where while you pee you release any energy
that you've picked up throughout the day you say I release this you flush it away you clear your system energetically so
you don't get drained great for empaths great for people who work around other humans great for people who feel burnt
out great for people sensitive in crowds I like this one because sometimes when I
ask people what's a habit you do every single day they have a hard time giving an answer because not everyone has
habits ingrained in the day they kind of do different things and especially if you have a work that starts at different
times different days you might not have a habit every day that you can habit stack with your magical practice but one
thing I know that you do every day without fail is go piss is
pee and because of that and because the situation of going P is the same for
everyone most people it's very similar every time you pee it's more or less the same no matter where you are right
little variation or you stand right and then maybe wash your hands right but you
can create very clear sometimes you squat okay all right yep fair fair fair fair
you can create very clear mindfulness cues to remind you to do your magical practice so like when the cold caress of
the toilet seat hits my behind in the morning I automatically not your behind
take a breath and breathe out all the yuck you know release it let it go the
way you said behind really got me and and because we've had this conversation
you're you're sitting here and you're like that's the silliest hip I've ever heard next time you go piss girl you're
going to think about it mhm that is true you're going to think about it I fear that like maybe I was a little skewed in
my choice because reading SP for sacral healing is my favorite tip but yes I do
think that energy cleansing while you pee is the most weirdly useful tip so maybe you've convinced me wow that was
easy yeah apparently I'm not very strong in my convictions H well next
[Laughter] our next category is the I have no idea what we're talking about award for that
episode that completely derailed into absolute nonsense mhm our nominees are
low effort spells for Focus low effort birthday magic rituals and the science
of pendulums winner on three mhm count us
down one 2 3 low for
focus in a landslide Victory a landslide we actually had to scour the archives to
find another nominee that could possibly stand up to the absolute chaos that was
that episode what were we even derailed by a gust of wind I fear like there was
there was nothing that we were not tangentially going to talk about was that the groundh talk I think so I don't
know Lily Q Us in give us a give us a clip give us a clip Lily take us down
memory lane if I don't feel super aligned with
those colors I do like a Teensy tiny meditation Teensy tiny an itty bitty
teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini meditation okay that I do for color
magic that I wanted to share with you guys and I thought maybe we could do it all together for Focus yeah let's do do it and so then
you know what color you're using for your color magic for your tasks if you want to bring a focus spell candle into
your life oh my God this is so exciting or you could choose your pen color you could choose your pen color your
notebook color the color in your office the color of your office shoes the color
of your office blanket you have office shoes you don't shoes that only live in
my office yeah maybe this is a main thing because we get no but you wear your
boots to work and then you change into your office shoes oh I was thinking like your home off I thought you meant like
in your life right now you had know I also do that too I have inside shoes we've talked about this well yes inside
shoes but those are not office shoes like they're not shoes that come on and off at the office they yeah otherwise I
won't have shoes in here but I imagine shoes that you only wore in that room
yes otherwise if I leave with them then I risk run the risk of walking outside with them you take them off when you
leave your office yes and I put my house shoes on I
understand like if you work in an office because like people have Subway shoes I
know about Subway shoes yeah I never had Subway shoes cuz I just worked in atleisure so I got to wear sneakers all
the time I never had to wear heels I don't think I've ever worn a heel for more than 45 minutes is something that I was thinking about recently so back to
the color radet sorry us filming this episode on Focus
today is really like you know what I need us both we're
going to do this meditation and then we're going to find a candle our final category is the best
spell gone wrong for a moment a spell or ritual did not go as planned and I'm
going to be honest we saved the best for last because there's really only one winner here and if you're real one if
you've been here since day one you know what we're about to say and it's the moment Molly's money Bowl burst into
flames in our Full Moon episode yeah one of our first episodes
we ever recorded and I almost burnt my house down in the middle of it and I really feel like that moment is what set
the tone for this podcast because that is how we learned that you guys love a
tangent you guys love a little chaos you don't want primed and Polished yeah you
didn't want us to cut that out you said give it to me now roll the clip
Lily I do also have that on my list so I had it in kind of like a two for one
because I kind of lump physical cleansing physical cleaning in with spiritual
cleansing so sorry hold on a sec my money bowls on fire oh my God
we have to keep that in I'm not editing that out I'm not editing that out
[Laughter]
Molly wait I need you to describe it for me I can't see
it so I have I have this money Bowl in the corner of my office and I put like
herbs on the little tealight and oils like whatever anyways the tealight ran
out uhhuh so a small bonfire you put herbs you put you put
leafy greens and oil on a flaming object well the problem isn't when it's on the
candle the problem is when all the wax burns out and the herbs just catch and I just see the flame progressively get
bigger and [Laughter] bigger so from my perspective I just
start talking and I see your eyes go wide and go
Shifty and then see you start to try to get up and then realize you're going to have to interrupt me oh God that was
really funny and what a beautiful trip down memory lane that was what a beautiful
trip down memory lane I I'd like to thank all the nominees and I'd like to thank the
