At about 2:32 in this episode, Martha speaks of grim fairy tales and says: "They still [something] me out."
What is the word she used there?

Hi, mpg! I said that they "skeeve me out." Are you familiar with that term? It's mostly heard in the Northeast, apparently from Italian "schifare," meaning "to disgust."
(And do grim fairy tales skeeve you?)
I'm not familiar with grim fairy tales
I don't keep up with the Darwin Awards either
The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of
the human genome by honoring those who
accidentally remove themselves from it...

> It's mostly heard in the Northeast
Interesting -- I grew up in the Northeast (Boston suburbs, 1970-1990) and don't recall ever hearing it.

Martha, didn't you mean "northwest"?
