This week, Beth and Wendy delve into the case of James Edward Pough, a black man who went on a deadly shooting spree in Florida in June 1990, killing nine people. The massacre at the GMAC payment center in Baymeadows is regarded as one of the earliest workplace mass shootings in U.S. history, sending shockwaves through Florida and the nation. But there was more to the story; authorities soon discovered that Pough had killed two people and injured two others the weekend before.

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.

Thanks for listening! This is a weekly podcast and new episodes drop every Thursday, so until next time... look alive guys, it's crazy out there!

Join Fruitloops for our new biweekly minisode we are calling "Love You, Byeee!"

In this episode from the week of 03/24/25, Wendy and Beth tackle life’s existential rollercoaster. From surviving adulthood without screaming into the void too often, to finding joy in the small stuff, they sprinkle in personal stories, questionable music opinions, and yes, Meghan Markle’s latest TV adventure.

But wait, there's more! Like a podcast piñata, this episode bursts open with everything from true crime to thoughts on personal responsibility, all served with a side of sass. They also unpack global travel advisories (spoiler: the U.S. is not winning any hospitality awards), the tragedy of missing Indigenous women, and the modern quandary of “Who has my DNA and what are they doing with it?”

Look alive, y’all, it’s crazy out there!

In this episode from the week of 03/10/25, Wendy and Beth share personal updates about their lives and adjustments after their break. They explore the theme of self-sufficiency through gardening, offer media recommendations, and discuss current events, including activism and social issues. Their conversation also covers various news stories, from political protests and the disappearance of a student, to updates on high-profile murder cases and a tragic account of abuse and neglect. Along the way, they examine the broader societal and justice system implications of these events while also sharing lighter moments, like a child's amusing call to 911.
