In 2006, an ER nurse came home from a twelve-hour shift in Portland, Oregon and walked into the wrong room at the wrong moment. Her husband had arranged a surprise for her. He thought he'd never see her again. He was right — but not for the reasons he expected. div]:bg-bg-000/50 [&_pre>div]:border-0.5 [&_pre>div]:border-border-400 [&_.ignore-pre-bg>div]:bg-transparent [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [&_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8"> _*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown">

What happened next involves a claw hammer, a hitman who picked the worst possible target, and a sentence to the paramedics that became one of the most quoted lines in American true crime.

Caroline and Daryl tell Susan Kuhnhausen's extraordinary story and then go absolutely everywhere with it — strangulation safety (yes really), celebrity death rumours, self-defence law, the UK unrest, why church might be making a comeback as a third place, and a French film with a gender-swap premise so good they're still thinking about it.

Genuinely wild story, genuinely wild tangents.
