This week, we're back with more Zapp's! This time, we're trying Zapp's classic tart and spiced Voodoo flavor on their thick and buttery Pretzel Stix.

Then Kelsey travels way past the holidays to give us the tale of an odd tradition in Lima, Peru, where police dress in costume during the holidays, including during raids. She details a video where police raided a suspected drug trafficking gang hideout, accompanied by an officer in full Grinch garb, head to toe green furry costume, wearing Santa's jacket with sledgehammer in hand. This Grinch stole Christmas from the drug dealers. The video is a must-watch.

Also, the Creeps talk about digging for crumb dust, Scruff McGruff the Crime Dog, wanting local police to step up their costume game, and Matt being unprepared yet adored by fans?

This week's show is a doozy, the Creeps sample a few delights from Almost Heaven Desserts & Coffee shop, located at 100 W. Main St. in Bridgeport, WV. Open Mon-Thu 6AM-9PM, Fri 6AM-10PM, Sat 7:30AM-10PM, Sun 8:30AM-8PM

Here's what they tried: A salad with chicken, walnuts, cranberries, and Blue cheese, with their sweet Italian vinaigrette, followed by a hefty slice of chocolate peanut butter pie with a divine crust

Then, Kelsey tells of a claim that there was a million dollars worth of Santo tequila (a brand of tequila produced by Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar, no less) stolen around the Mexican border, followed by other claims that the same tequila was in fact not lost or stolen. This episode has everything, except for cats.

They also talk about New Year's snacking of buffalo chicken dip, a shared intense love of the funkiest cheeses, "hear me out" cake, Matt's distrusting nature of his cohost whilst Matt talks about waiting 40 days and nights for your biblical tequila, followed by Matt and Kelsey's fancasting of who would play Guy, Sammy, Kelsey, and himself in the eventual movie about the heist. Sure you've heard of Superwholock, now get ready for Mainlock.

Also, yes. Once again our Editor tried to kill Kelsey with food. PLEASE CONTACT MATT ABOUT PROCURING PAPPY

This week, we're about to start this New Year off right with a jolt, a boost, recharging our batteries with the AriZona x Fallout collab Vault Tec Green Tea Energy Drink. Kelsey bought a big ole 12pk Variety Pack of these gigantic cans that come in 3 Flavors: Red Apple, Georgia Peach, and Pomegranate, all of which are also a lightly carbonated Green tea. The Editor wanted to make sure you know it says "lightly carbonated" right on the can so you don't throw yourself off with the flavor experience like they did.

Then Matt shares the story of a bank robbery that occurred in Westover (around Morgantown), WV in the fall of 2024. This robbery potentially involves a local wanted suspect, whose identity is as of current date unknown to the public, that may be wanted in several other states for other charges.

Also, the Creeps also talk about the Amazon Prime Fallout show, Matt's kiwi allergy, spy movie face changes, and losing "It".

This week, the Creeps celebrate once again by making holiday sweets. Here's what we made:

Kelsey tested a fun spin on her usual Christmas cookie: She made peanut butter cookies and they're grape jelly thumbprints!

You'll want to make plenty of these, they were a huge hit with the whole fam.

Then, Kelsey tells this year's classic ghost story, while Matt shares the history of this Christmas tradition.

Our story on this Christmas Eve special is The Phantom Hag, Author is unknown

This week, we're festive for the holidays yet again. The Creeps try Sprite's new limited edition Winter Spiced Cranberry flavor. If you see this somewhere, you better grab some, it seems to be flying off shelves. Kelsey says, buy orange sherbet, make punch!

Then Matt shares the story of a real life hamburglar in Augusta, Maine, a wild incident that occurred in the drive thru of a McDonald's in 2012. Burgers were stolen, police were called, hijinks were had.

Also, Matt gets real funky fresh in honor of the Durst, and he's unfortunately and temporarily lost his sense of smell unless the sprite gods ripped cheated him. Also also, HORSE! Kelsey tells of a horse in front of her in her own McDonald's drive thru tale.

This week, the Creeps try a tasty burger from Aboo's Burger, a mainstay located in the food court of the Meadowbrook Mall at 2399 Meadowbrook Mall Rd, Bridgeport, WV. Open daily 10am-9pm, Sun 11am-6pm.
Here's what we tried: classic gyro with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a garlicky tzatziki sauce (Be sure to try their chicken shawarma too!)
Then, Kelsey covers the story of the Sodder family, whose house mysteriously burned down on Christmas Eve, 1945 in Fayetteville, WV. Shortly after the events, the family started to question the official report that their children had died in the fire. What followed was a decades long search for the truth.
The creeps also talk about staying in the groove, being best friends, 1800s name changes, and possible origins of Matt's favorite hotdog.

This week, we're staying festive for the holidays. The Creeps try a few new creations from Little Debbie themed around their classic Christmas Tree Cake. They taste a white and red North Pole Nutty Buddy and then festive striped Christmas Tree Cake themed soft cake donuts.

Then Kelsey tells the tail of a sworn police officer who stole the lunch of a coworker when his back was turned. The sensational betrayal occured recently in the police department of Wyandotte, Michigan. And it was pup-etrated by a member of their K-9 unit. That's right, the very dogs we trust to protect us couldn't protect a simple sandwich.

Also, Matt's mad about missing sprinkles, weird booktok, and our hosts attack Deb.

This week, the Creeps try a cheesy assortment from local bar and grill Whiskey Biscuits, located at 254 Emily Dr, Clarksburg, WV. Open Sun-Thur 8-8, Fri-Sat 8am-9pm.

Here's what we tried: WV style hotdog, classic smash burger, fried potato kegs, cheese grits

Then,  Matt shares part two on the life and death of Elizabeth Short, also known as the Black Dahlia. Matt talks about the initial investigation, suspects, and the public and media response.

They also talked about William Randolph Hearst, and newspaper sensationalism of the 40s.

Prepare yourself, this one has the best intro ever. The Creeps test the limits of nature, we're drinking Oreo Coke, a Coca-Cola that is Oreo Cookie flavored. Yeah.
Then, ripped from the TikTok headlines, Kelsey brings Matt a story from New York, in which a Department of Transportation driver struck an 86 year old former mobster-turned-baker, while the man was walking in the street. The force of the impact decapitated the unfortunate pedestrian, with the driver inconsolable staying at the scene until others arrived. The person who was killed happened to be a former member of the Genovese crime family as a mob captain.

According to an article, one police source told the New York Post: “He spent his life looking over his shoulder, but he forgot to look both ways before crossing the street.”

Also, the Creeps talk about being a cool guy, making mixed drinks in your mouth, blue apes, soda bubbles, and Matt gets Snakey. He's a sneaky little snake.

In this episode the Creeps rave about fancy affordable pizza from the Clarksburg Pizza Company, a newer eatery located at 1704 W Pike St, Clarksburg, WV over in Adamston near Toni's Ice Cream. Open Mon-Sat 11-9, Sun Noon-6.
Here's what we tried: Local 89 Fire Sticks (Ranch base, jalapeño slices, topped with mozzarella and provolone with a Calabrian chili aioli)

Then, Kelsey talks about Alison Botha and her survival after being abducted in South Africa where she was held at knife point, raped, stabbed repeatedly and left for dead.

Trigger warning: around 12:30 onward, abduction, rape, graphic violence.

The Creeps also talk about letting each other know about food secrets, perfect crust, as well as letting y'all know that we're a safe space if you need someone to talk to.
