Drink about something

A throwaway joke at work that nobody understands can make you feel ancient, but nothing snaps the room into focus like a story where fame, paranoia, and violence collide. We’re Jesse and Lindsay, and we’re digging into the Oscar Pistorius case, from his rise as the celebrated “Blade Runner” to the night Reeva Steenkamp was shot behind a locked bathroom door in South Africa. The details are brutal,...

A police badge is supposed to signal safety. In Sarah Everard’s case, it became the tool that took it away, and we’re still angry about it. We jump on live for a raw recap of our full coverage, walk through who Sarah was, and trace how a normal night in London during COVID lockdown restrictions turned into a tragedy no one should have to fear. We talk through the details we can share on social pla...

A normal walk home. A well lit London street. CCTV everywhere. Then a man flashes a badge and says the words that are supposed to mean safety: “I’m a police officer.” Sarah Everard’s case hits like a punch because it’s not a mystery built on bad decisions, it’s a nightmare built on trust, compliance, and power. We walk through who Sarah was, what that March 2021 COVID lockdown felt like in the UK,...

A fake pregnancy is one thing. Keeping it alive for months, staging a gender reveal, and pulling everyone into the performance is something else entirely and the ending is as brutal as it is hard to understand. With drinks on the table and zero filter, we pick back up on the viral Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct and walk through the moments where the story should have collapsed, the red flag...

A man with a genius IQ. A trail of fraud that spans states. Multiple prison escapes that sound impossible until you realize he planned them like a full-time job. We’re drinking about Stephen J. Russell, the real-life con artist behind I Love You, Philip Morris, and we’re not just retelling the plot, we’re digging into what made it all happen. We talk through Russell’s early life, adoption fallout,...

A true crime documentary rarely hits like this, but Maternal Instinct starts with a scene so shocking we’re still trying to process it while we talk. We’re recording “raw, uncut, and unedited,” drinks in hand, walking through the viral story out of New Boston, Texas and the disturbing spiral around Taylor Parker and Wade Griffin. What begins as a relationship that moves way too fast turns into a m...

A mother, a wheelchair, a stack of diagnoses, and a whole community convinced they’re watching a miracle of survival. Then the news shows Gypsy Rose Blanchard standing up, and everything people “knew” collapses. We’re telling this story with care and honesty because it’s not just a viral headline, it’s a brutal example of medical child abuse and coercive control hiding in plain sight.  We break do...

A “missing” purse. A hot tub night with new friends. A couple chasing thrills so hard they stop seeing people as people. We jump into the strange, brutal story of BJ and Erica Seifert and how their relationship goes from intense to outright dangerous, with a vacation in Ocean City, Maryland as the turning point. We walk through the early timeline and the whiplash pace of their marriage, then dig i...

A friendly shuttle ride and a “buy us a drink” deal shouldn’t end in horror, but sometimes the danger shows up wearing a smile. We start with our usual kitchen-table banter and a round of “what made us feel old,” then we pivot into a killer couple story that left us furious, sick, and desperate for people to hear the warning signs. Pride Month is also front and center. We share resources for The T...

A missing kid case is devastating on its own, but it hits differently when it starts with something painfully normal: a teenager heading out to get a haircut and buy Christmas gifts. We talk through the Daniel Morcombe case with the respect it deserves, including how a routine bus stop and a sudden change in plans can create the exact opening a predator looks for.  Then we move from grief to actio...

A child’s brain can do something both miraculous and devastating when the world becomes unsafe: it can split experience into separate parts just to survive. That’s the core of the Jenny Haynes story, and it’s why we brought back our most-listened-to revisit. This conversation is heavy, raw, and full of the kind of details that stick with you, so take care of yourself while you listen. We break dow...

The human mind's capacity to protect itself is both remarkable and haunting. When four-year-old Jeni Haynes began suffering unimaginable abuse at the hands of her father, her developing brain created an extraordinary defense mechanism – dissociating into multiple personalities. Not just a few, but OVER 2,500 distinct alters emerged to help her survive seven years of torture. CHECK OUT OUR NEX...

Three minutes late can be the difference between a normal Saturday and a family’s worst nightmare. We’re talking about the Daniel Morcombe case from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, where a 13-year-old boy leaves home to get a haircut and shop for Christmas gifts, waits at an unofficial bus stop under an overpass, and is never seen again. We walk through the timeline with care, from the confusing mome...

A man steps out from behind a bedroom door wearing yellow dish gloves and raises a claw hammer. Susan Kuhnhausen, a 51-year-old ER nurse in Portland, Oregon, has seconds to decide whether she becomes a headline or a survivor. What happens next is one of the most gripping true crime survivor stories we’ve ever covered, and it’s a raw reminder that the most dangerous moment in a breakup can be the m...

Rockville weekends don’t just give you a lineup, they give you a full-body story: dust, heat, storm warnings on repeat, and those perfect sets that make the struggle feel worth it. We’re coming at our Welcome to Rockville 2026 recap raw, live, and unedited, ranking performances by sound, crowd energy, stage presence, and overall vibe while we relive the best surprises and the biggest letdowns. We...

A sweaty campsite morning at Welcome to Rockville turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about concert culture, safety, and what we owe each other in a crowd. We’re recording from the Orange Lot at Daytona International Speedway, so you’ll hear the real festival backdrop while we swap stories from night four, including the kind of chaotic glow-party lore and rail-life exhaustion that only mak...

Three teenagers get branded as monsters, a community falls hard for a satanic panic storyline, and a case held together by a false confession becomes “truth” for nearly two decades. We wrap our West Memphis Three series by following Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley from conviction into the realities people don’t like to picture: prison violence, death row, and years of solitary...

A small-town murder case collides with the peak hangover of the 1990s Satanic Panic, and the result is a lesson in how a narrative can outrun the facts. We’re rereleasing Part 2 of our West Memphis Three series because this case still lives under our skin, and because the details around Jessie Misskelley’s confession deserve to be heard with fresh ears. We break down who Jessie is, why his reporte...

Three little boys disappear after a normal day of school, and West Memphis, Arkansas flips from worry to terror in a matter of hours. When their bodies are found in a muddy drainage ditch in Robin Hood Hills, the town wants an answer fast and the system starts acting like a story matters more than the truth. That’s where Part 1 of our West Memphis Three series begins.  We walk through the timeline...

A case can be horrifying on its own, then the internet shows up and makes it even uglier. We sit down with our drinks and recap two stories that hit hard for very different reasons: Catherine Knight in Australia and the Idaho 4 murders at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho. Along the way we also talk about why certain true crime details stick in your brain, and why some stories take longer to shake t...

Four students share a busy off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho and within a tight window of minutes, a normal college weekend turns into the Idaho Four murders. We walk through the layout of 1122 King Road, the routines of a party house, and the chilling moment a surviving roommate reports seeing a masked stranger pass her door and leave through the sliding glass exit. It’s a case where confusion, a...

A comedy icon with a voice you can hear in your head. Three women who walk into a home after graduation night and never walk back out. This recap turns from pop culture nostalgia to pure dread as we revisit the death of Phil Hartman and the long running mystery of the Springfield Three in Springfield, Missouri. We talk through why Phil Hartman mattered so much to SNL and the 90s comedy scene, then...

A normal graduation night ends with a porch light smashed, three purses stacked on the stairs, and a little dog shaking in someone’s arms and then three women are simply gone. We’re in Orlando recording from a hotel room, laughing about theme park drinks and anxiety wins, and then we pivot hard into one of the most haunting unsolved missing persons cases in America: the Springfield Three from Spri...

A warning can be loud, clear, and still arrive too late. We’re going to Australia for the Katherine Knight case, a true crime story that starts with a childhood steeped in violence and ends with one of the most disturbing murder scenes in modern criminal history. Along the way, we talk through the pattern we keep seeing: intense attachment, explosive rage, control, and the way people around her no...

A lot of comedians are funny. Phil Hartman was foundational. We start with a warm, slightly chaotic hit of nostalgia (the drinks, the “what made you feel old,” the Saturday morning cartoons), then we get serious about why Hartman still feels like a once-in-a-generation talent. If you grew up on Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, or NewsRadio, you’ve already felt his influence even when you didn’t...
