In this week's episode, the fellas are diversifying their portfolios. Textiles, farming, glass fabrication: that's where the money is, especially when we can fully staff our businesses with 12 year olds! Join us as we ask the important questions like: Why did we allow this practice to proliferate so long ago? Why is "so long ago" still actually happening today? Do children really NEED all of their fingers? It's a coal cart full of atrocities and the crushed bodies of underage kids in this one! 

In this week’s episode, the guys spend half of the episode lamenting the fact that they have to get into the gritty details of a brutal crime… which is something they’ve always avoided. But was Elizabeth Short’s life cut short because she was unknowingly putting herself in harm’s way or was she the victim of circumstance after someone she barely had any connection with saw an opportunity to fulfill his psychosexual predilections? Honestly, we don’t know the answer, we just know that this was a heavy episode. 

In August’s monthly mini, the fellas feel as if they didn’t give full credit to a couple of the big names calling the shots in the CIA’s MK Ultra program. So many shady dealings are interconnected in this one that, honestly, it just kinda goes from horrifying to impressive at a point. 

In this week’s episode, we’ve got more state sanctioned atrocities than you can shake a stick at! Plus we’ve got piles of dead monkeys, the mysterious death of Frank Olsen, French heroin cartels, and difficult questions about what to do with all of the orphan children we drugged and psychologically broke. Last week was just the prologue, baby, THIS one’s where the action is… the terrible, tragic, unforgivable action. 

In this week’s episode, the boys dive deep into the lead up to the creation of the CIA and the scientific breakthroughs that inspired the OSS, the CIA, and infamous covert operations like Project Paperclip and Project Artichoke. We’re spraying coastal cities with biological weapons… of knowledge, so hunker down for some state sanctioned atrocities in this first part of our 2 part series on MK Ultra. 

In this week’s episode, we’re uncovering an ancient civilization that you’ve never heard of… you’re welcome. Do we believe the theory? Are we convinced that everything that you’ve learned about archeology is completely false? You’ll have to listen to the episode find out exactly how much our answer is “No, that’s crazy!”

In this week's episode, spontaneous combustion, perpetual motion machines, and rumpology, oh my! Guest host Dwight Mosby joins Patrick and Riley in making candles with nothing but cigarettes and the grease from their fat old man boobs. Honestly, your favorite fortune teller probably couldn’t have guessed the topics on this pseudoscience episode. 

In this week’s episode, Patrick and Riley head down the holler to deep dive the lives and history of West Virginia’s coal miners. Along the way, we uncover the history of the term “redneck”, a ruthless industry taking deeply unethical measures to keep their feet on the throats of their labor force, a truly badass folk hero, and the largest armed insurrection in the history of the US since the civil war. 

In July’s monthly mini, the guys are focusing a little more on the silly side of the Satanic Panic of the 80’s and 90’s… well, that was the plan. Sadly, it still devolves into some horrors driven by the moral pearl-clutching of the gullible masses. 

In this week’s episode, guest host Jake Teeters joins us in making fun of the Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately, and much to Riley’s dismay, making fun of it didn’t stop us from covering the very real consequences of idiotic moral panics and things get… well… predictably awful once we examine the McMartin preschool trials and the West Memphis Three.
