So this week we are going to talk about the Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie case from last year and our own conspiracy theories about it. 

But first! We both have had pretty interesting (?) weeks and catching up was a roller coaster of emotions.

And to wind everything up, Karyn talked to someone and is doing a lot better, despite the crying that may or may not have happened during the episode.

Next week we're going into the case of Jon Koppenhaver and Christie Mack.

I needed a more lighthearted episode to get through this week because my cat got skunked, there's a new person at work, and I thought I was having a heart attack, so here are 7 things on the internet that are driving me bonkers right now
1. Facebook Marketplace posts that aren't done properly
2. Men on dating apps that are in the women looking for women section
3. the "@everyone" in groups 
4. ASMR
5. People lying on the internet
6. Context matters
7. What isn't OCD?

Taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming because Karyn is struggling with a life change and can't think of much else right now. Some things last a lifetime, some things don't, and sometimes you don't find out until it's over. On to the next chapter!
