"No one ever wants to hear ukulele" is the most powerful insult I've heard in a minute.

The jingle is fantastic, don’t you dare change it!

I believe the descendant of Agnes Nutter in Good Omens' last name ends up being Device, which is neat!

Anathema Device - she is the one who befriends Adam (which unknowingly sets into motion several of the 'end of day' portents' by lending him her collection of new age magazines) and also gets hit by Aziraphale and Crowley's car while her riding bicycle at night which causes Agnes' book to change hands; informing the angel, among other things, "thou cocoa doth grow cold". As a super nerd with a long-standing fondness, and special connection, with Good Omens for several decades *and* having studied witch trials for even longer - I really appreciated this. While a situation like this can't truly be "enjoyed" considering the injustice of reality, hearing their story (and realizing what a masterful tribute Neil and Terry wove in for them into theirs) was something I was pleased to hear told in this way. I'm surprised I hadn't heard the historical version before (most likely due to the U.S being so focused on Salem and everywhere else being about quantity with minor exceptions for major figures like Joan of Arc) but I'm glad this was how. Although it's not technically a "respectfully" episode, I think the gang certainly handled it like one. --- Sorry for the ramble, if someone mentions G.O - I can rhapsodize bohemian.

I personally love the theme song and am genuinely trying to write an arrangement of it to dizi (Chinese bamboo flute). Rock on

I'd love to play it on guitar but I'm not a native speaker and can't entirely figure out the lyrics - which is the only reason the audio quality bothers me.

Just a couple notes about the lyrics 1) "Sweaty" is a sarcastic term of affection, a purposeful misspelling of "sweetie", there's like layers of irony 2) I am not actually sure if it's rotted or rotten, since it's supposed to rhyme with what I think is "sodden" it might actually "rotten". The vowel sounds are slightly different in my dialect, so that's why I thought it was "rotted", haha 3) "sodden" is not a very common word, it means damp or moist, specifically saturated with moisture...like the ground would be! I hope that helps!

DEFEND THE OPENING JINGLE!

so like, how... voluntary are the confessions of 17th century women when a man trips and has a stroke and she says "yep, I sold my soul to the devil and my mom's blood was sucked by Satan himself - it was all my fault!" Cuz like... even if I had done that, I don't think I'd confess to it.

You're delightful and so is the theme song! 💖

The theme song SLAPS.

do you know where you are? you're in the jingle, baby. you're gonna die!

Wow my head hurt so much this morning I didn't even say anything. 😮 Anyway Hoots, *I* like your jungle[sic] and I know that's all any of you were concerned about. So carry on. 5 stars, no waffles.

This Alice Nutter is the one that Chumbawumba's Alice Nutter took her stage name from.

I love the song.

also savory oatmeal rips; i'm usually a butter, salt, and pepper kinda guy but this soy sauce prospect intrigues me.

Today I watched a youtube short where a Golden Retriever named Oatmeal washed his paws in a so-called pawussy, so I think there something witchy going on...

At Mandy's house- so I have 3 kinds of oatmeal. This one I blackmail a dude in Vermont for, that one comes from a woman convinced that I'll hex her dog to kill her dad, and the other one I just choke down dry...

I will review you this week. I am very excited for this episode

A tough time, to be sure, but we should be grateful for the hard work of the witch hunters of yesteryear, it's thanks to their efforts that we can be sure all our public officials are noble, hard working people, pure in Christian thought and deed, and free of the corruption of witchcraft. God bless ye, gentlemen.

"Widdowes" is a real surname, because I guess when the English first needed surnames, someone was a widow's son

This one is hilarious! Witchmeal is what I'm gonna label all my oat jars now.

My rabbits just got attacked by a 300 lb (I'm guessing) black bear while I was listening to this The bunnies alright. I managed to chase the bear off before any permanent damage could be done

Almost done catching up on all past episodes. I'd just like to say I enjoy this podcast so much and am looking forward to every new episode💓

like i do kinda love the concept of angels that are like bacteria, there is already the belief that god is everywhere and in everything and visualizing this concept as trillions of microscopic angels everywhere and in your body is kinda sick ngl

Finally getting around to this one. For my first comment: It's true, Hoots is an honorary queer. She's got the vibes.

1:59 the Witches' curse, duh

I'm not sure if it was said in the episode, but the word demdike apparently meant demon woman, so it was not the poor woman's actual name.

Which website do you use to convert money into today's money?

Okay so I just recently found y’all so I know I’m a year late… but I shall be so disappointed if we don’t rename the tools of Witchcraft, henceforth and heretofore, as Demdike Devices. Is that your wand? Nope. That’s one of your Demdike Devices. Need some essential oils? No you don’t. You need some Demdike Device Drops. Mortar and Pestle? Now it’s your handy dandy Double Demdike Device. I’ve had three grand mal seizures in two days. I’ll just show myself out.
