Teacup, Owen, and I got to join Sandra and Kasey as we all spent some time Idling in the Impala discussing our favorite unhinged brother moments...

Luckily, Baby is roomie and fits five quite comfortably! Come listen as we compare all the different ways that Sam and Dean went above and beyond for each other.

Want to see some of the real life goodies you could be getting your hands on? Then look no further (well, I mean, look a little further, because, you know, the pictures...they're...they're down...further...👇) just a tiny bit further:

(Thanks to @talltalesandbedtimestories herself for sharing all but that first photo, which is mine. Excellent modelling work, Sandra! 📸)

If you'd like more info on the campaign, including where the profits will go, check out this previous post, which also has links to Sandra and Kasey's official posts and media about the campaign. 💖

If you've already got your Ride With Pride 🏳️‍🌈 merch, that's awesome! I hope you love it as much as I love mine (the t-shirt is so soft, new fave). 🥰 Also, share using the tag #pridingintheimpala, maybe, please? I wanna see. 🥹

If you don't already have any, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO GO GO! Time's almost up! ⌛😱

Either way, if you've got a couple of seconds to spare, I know K&S would be super grateful for a reblog to help spread the word in these final hours of the campaign. 🙏😁

Apart from that, it's been a heck of a month, peeps. Let's get loose!

@aomasade and I created It’s A Moose for WinterNatural in 2023 and now it's been podficced 🥰❤️ by Sandra over at @idlingintheimpalapodcast. Thank you so much 🥰💗

Summary: Sam and Dean contend with Sam being a literal moose 🫎

IN THE CAR (Ch. 10, Finale)

The PodFic Series - in its entirety - can be accessed on AO3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49451239/chapters/124802044

It's been just over a year since @idlingintheimpalapodcast debuted the first podfic chapter of this amazing story, written by Roni (goshen-applecrumbledore). I hope you all enjoyed the journey as much as I did narrating this work.

I'm constantly in awe of the talent of fanfic writers. I've been narrating original fiction and non-fiction for over two years now, and y'all are heads and shoulders above most of the stuff I get commissioned to produce!

Check out Roni's first interview on the podcast (we couldn't help ourselves, and it was mainly about how much we loved Pine Sweat)! And make sure you subscribe to the podcast on your favorite listening platform so you don't miss the second interview @sam-is-my-safe-word and I had with this talent ~ set to release sometime in November!

@goshen-applecrumbledore, we are not worthy!

We're a little later than usual this year, but Happy Early Pride y'all.

The Idling in the Impala Pride 2026 merch is LIVVVVVEEEEEEE

Head on over to the website and have a looksee. If you don't see what you want, drop us a msg and Kasey will try & make it happen!

This years art work is by the incredible @jayjay-thejet-plane.

As always, 50% of the profits from this fundrasier will go to @thetrevorproject If you would like to hear about the process of coming up with this years art, we made a little bonus episode!

We've got a full backseat in the Impala today. Jackie @jinkieswouldyoulookatthis has hitched a few rides with Sandra and Kasey before.

Today, she’s brought her co-hosts from The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean podcast.

Owen @oh-whenyouloveit, Teacup @teacupunicorn, and Jackie discuss and rewatch Supernatural through Wincest colored glasses on their podcast. Regardless of whether a watcher of the show ships or doesn’t, even canon has opinions:

"You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other, right?" ~Zachariah, Point of No Return, 5x18

Buckle up, because two podcasts collide today to provide some prime examples of just how unhinged Sam and Dean are about each other.
