  3. Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Part 2

    Episode 536

    Show notes

    Shit got real REAL fast when the FBI came knock knock knocking on Matty's door. They let him know: Anyone gets hurt or dies at this thing, it's your ass, kid. Does Matty take this opportunity to, you know, shut the thing down to STAY OUT OF PRISON? NOPE! Instead, he tries to move this thing away from the ONE BATHROOM TOWN of Rachel, Nevada to downtown Las Vegas. BUT THE INTERNET DOESN'T CARE WHAT MATTY WANTS ANYMORE. And so as the MILITARY BRINGS IN BACKUP and the SHUTDOWN THE AIRSPACE over Area 51 in preparation, the world waits with baited breath to see how many INTERNET IDIOTS actually show up to this thing. Fam, just, like, leave the aliens alone already. This is why we can't have nice things.

  4. Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Part 1

    Episode 535

    Show notes

    Meet Matty, the self-described "twenty-year-old loser working at the vape kiosk in the mall." In 2019, bored and sort of as a joke, he made a post on his Facebook page - "shitposting" - encouraging his 41 followers that they should all storm Area 51 in three months. He created an event and went to bed. Little did he know the hell and chaos he was about to unleash as THREE MILLION PEOPLE signed up to ACTUALLY DO IT. And once the internet caught wind of this, it was just a matter of time before this became an international countdown to the day. And who knew what would happen. The only thing they knew for sure was that the US Military had orders to SHOOT TO KILL anyone who tried.

  5. What the Neighbors Saw (from "48 Hours")

    Episode 534

    Show notes

    In 2013, Gary Herpst left his wife and son and went missing. But... they didn't seem to mind all that much and only RELUCTANTLY filed a missing person report for him. Turns out this guy was a reeeeeeeeal piece of work - to quote The Chicks, "a missing person who nobody missed at all." So it wasn't until 2020, when a piece of his skull was dug up by a dog, that anyone, including his neighbors, learned the truth of what happened.

It was... odd. Even odder was when the Staudte son, Sean, ALSO DIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. Shortly thereafter, SEAN'S SISTER SARA WAS ALSO IN THE HOSPITAL DYING OF ORGAN FAILURE. Again, Diane had no questions. So what in the ever loving hell was going on here? You're about to find out, Fam, by way of SOME OF THE MOST CHILLING POLICE INTERROGATION VIDEO WE'VE EVER SEEN.

    Episode 531

    Show notes

    OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and die for him. And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent there for him. The only thing was, his story was a complete lie. And when Bridget notices THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS missing from her bank account, she knows Ricky has scammed her. And then, Ricky takes off. But guess what? Our SHEroes Cecile and Brian are gonna track that POS down and make him answer AND PAY FOR his crimes. GO GET HIM, LADIES!

    Debbie Kelly led a fabulous life in San Antonio, TX - a successful career, a giddy group of tennis-playing girlfriends, and a new house. But after she fell for her contractor (who was shadily slow-rolling the construction in order to spend time with her RED FLAG!!!!), things went horrifically wrong. One dark night in their home led to a terrible mistake - or was it? Grab an ice-cold Dr. Pepper and run a comb through your hair, Fam, and follow along with the story with us.

  10. The I-70 Killer (from "People Magazine Investigates")

    Episode 529

    Show notes

    In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED THANKS TO HER OWN BADASSERY, LIVES WITH A BULLET LODGED IN HER SPINE. Oh, and get THIS, Fam - the cops actually think they know who this piece of shit is... BUT HAVEN'T FREAKING ARRESTED HIM YET. Ugh, it's a lot, but we're gonna get through this together.

  12. The Devil in Hammond (from "Murder in the Bayou")

    Episode 527

    Show notes

    OK, look, we love the bayou. Like, we LOVE IT. The accents, the trees, THE FREAKING GOTHIC VIBES. But what we don't love is the murder. Especially this one. On August 23, 1987, a young mother named Selonia Reed was found murdered in her car about a mile from her home. The clues were few, but there was one that was significant. A cigarette butt. In the pre-DNA 1980s, there wasn't much they could do with it. But, shockingly, it was well preserved. And though it would take THIRTY FIVE YEARS to get it done, that cigarette butt would eventually lead investigators to Selonia's killer. That's...too long. But here we are. And now let's spend some time with Selonia's friends and family--including her impeccably dressed sister--to hear about how amazing she was.

  14. Risky Business (from "Killer Relationship")

    Episode 525

    Show notes

    On January 2014, 46-year-old Jerry Moore was stabbed to death in his home in Marietta, Georgia. When no suspect emerges, Jerry's best friend Randy - WHO HE MET AT A GAY LINE DANCING BAR - presents the cops with a critical piece of information that eventually solves the case. It involves a loser shitbag roommate, a gay bakery, and a CAKE DECORATING ROOM. Jerry's murder was senseless and brutal, but the people he surrounded himself were incredible, and they're all here to tell his story. And so we beg you, please please please get yourself a gay bestie like Randy. Ugh, get ready to get mad, Fam.

  15. A Toxic Love Story

    Episode 524

    Show notes

    In June 2016, Michelle Hadley was served a restraining order. She was barred from ever again speaking to her ex-boyfriend Ian and his new girlfriend Angela. According to the restraining order, Michelle had been stalking Angela and Ian for months - she'd been making horrible threats against the couple and their soon-to-be-born twins. Michelle was crazy insane. Or was she? Even after watching the documentary three times, we still don't have all the answers, we still don't understand everything that happened, and that's what makes this documentary so great. And our coverage of it absolutely bananas, Fam!

    Episode 521

    Show notes

    Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband. Perhaps a bit... too close. We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie. Why did Jean keep the embalmed bodies of her husband and sister IN HER HOME, and how did she get the seemingly all-too-willing characters around town to help her? Thankfully, the ever-trusty Beth Karas is here to help us sort through the shenanigans.

  19. Blood on Bourbon Street (from "Fatal Destination")

    Episode 520

    Show notes

    In July 2003, 34-year-old Shawn Johnson was in New Orleans for a conference. And he did WHAT ANY OF US WOULD DO and tacked on a few days for a little bit of fun. On his last night in town, he found himself at an infamous bar called The Dungeon where he met a group of people who he invited back to his hotel room to fill the hot tub with Champagne and continue the party. Again, like any of us would do. However, Shawn would, tragically, be found dead in the room the following morning. On the walls of the room were ripped up and torn out pages from the bible. And on the bed, the creepiest homemade doll - WITH REAL HUMAN HAIR - that was ever created. The search for Shawn's killers was a mess. But in the end, some sort of justice prevailed. But oh my god, can everyone take it down a notch?

  20. Worst Ex Ever: Dating the Deadpool Killer

    Episode 519

    Show notes

    Fam, when they say "Worst Ex Ever" they really aren't kidding here - and giving him the "Deadpool" moniker just because he's got the same name as the comic book character? Yeesh. This creep runs the gamut from theft to selling dogs online to rape and murder - but talks his way out of things thanks to gullible investigators, at least for a time until someone close to him turns the tables. Lots of garbage here, so come scream along with us!
