Main Corpse

In this episode, the Creeps try a candy bar that is "a ghostly sheet of cinnamon toast flavored creme" that is definitely not... supposed to taste like cinnamon toast crunch cereal, so it doesn't. Don't even ask whether it for sure does.
Then, Kelsey gives us the solid golden story of a warehouse worker in Australia that stole a whole dragon hoard's worth of limited edition Australian currency coins that are themed like the kids show, Bluey. He allegedly stole $600k AUD worth of the coins (nearly $400k USD) before he was arrested in Sydney. If you have any information leading authorities to the whereabouts of the rest of the coins, they're asking you to contact Australian Crimestoppers.

Never forget that this episode is where the Creeps came up with the term "Matt'irondack chair" and society is better for it. The Creeps also talk about trick or treaters, sweet kangaroo karate moves, toilet science, the "Keepy Uppy game" and Matt's objective to call folks "bandit" again.

This week, Kelsey comes back to us from the Healing Appalachia event. If you don't know about the great work going on with that festival, please look it up. Incredible bands playing in support of one of the most important causes in our state, addiction recovery.

Kelsey brought home some pickles from the West Virginia Pickle Guy, followed by jerky for us to try from Cane Creek Jerky, handcrafted locally sourced jerky from Lexington, Kentucky. Kelsey, Matt, and even the Editor rated the pickles and the jerky so very high.

Here's what we tried: "dang good" Pineapple Habanero sliced pickles, just the softest Spicy Beef Jerky ever
Then, Matt talks about an event that happened 30 years ago, August of 1994, around Oakville Washington. You gotta tell all your friends about this one, we think it's much bigger and far more bizarre than the meat rain incident of similar repute. An event that involved blobs of unknown origin and material makeup, which fell from the skies onto everything below, covering an area around twenty square miles across a period of three weeks.

The Creeps also talk about the Derby, grabbing chips, Sicily being pictured, bee weather, and cute dogs at events. Also the Editor gets sweet revenge around eight minutes in.

In this episode, the Creeps drink two new Nestle Sensations cereal and waffle themed milks, not sure flavored is the right word. We tried one that is Frosted Flakes, the other is Eggo waffles and syrup. You be the judge on whether you find these sweets to be treats or tricks, dream or nightmare. 

Then, Matt tells Kelsey about an awful occurrence over and under a bridge in Chicago, that is well known as "Poopgate" or the Dave Matthews Band Bus Incident, although that one makes it sound far less gross and odd than it is. On August 8, 2004, twenty years ago, the operator of a tour bus belonging to Dave Matthews Band unloaded around 800 pounds of human waste from the bus, through the Kinzie Street Bridge into the river. However, this waste also landed directly onto tourists riding in an open-top passenger sightseeing boat that happened to be sailing by underneath. Do we need to remind y'all that DMB wrote a song called Don't Drink the Water...

The Creeps also talk about 90s ads, backpack sadness, cashew poison, nipples on nuts, and whatever Matt's talkin' about. (A shitshow, as matt put it)

The Creeps try simple and easy home cooked items that were scratch made by our host Kelsey, using a hand picked selection of fresh ingredients from our latest visit to the Bridgeport Farmer's Market.

Here's what we tried: A big Sandwich, on whole wheat bread, piled high with so many veggies, including grilled marinated eggplant, feta, and a tangy slaw. She also made peach crumble for dessert. Ingredients pulled from The Vegetable Garden, & Green Thumb Botanicals

The Creeps also talk about Matt's love of Australian filmmaking, affordable meal prep, and onions.

Then, Matt talks about several young backpackers who went missing and were killed brutally in New South Wales, Australia in the late 80's to early 90s, true stories which influenced the Wolf Creek series of films and shows. This episode contains graphic descriptions of killings, discretion advised. 

In this episode, the Creeps snack on the odd delights of Meiji's Chocorooms, a mushroom shaped biscuit coated in milk and dark chocolate (and thankfully for Kelsey contains no actual mushrooms)

Then, Matt ushers us into Spooky Season with a few local legends, all of which involving creatures in and around The Mon, the Monongahela River, which flows through the Fairmont and Morgantown areas North into Pennsylvania. For this episode, we cover the Ogua, an enormous snapping turtle-like animal, the Monongy, which is a sort of odd fish that is said to be half human and possibly fought people in wartime, and the Rivesville River monster, a big long serpent like swimming animal with at least one fin.

They also talk about Cadbury pumpkins, candy corn, orcas, and wild ad memes.

We have a giant 75th episode, the Creeps finally try Hill and Hollow on the show after wanting to showcase them for years. This lovely family's food truck is renown for its fresh, creative, and super local treats. To find them, visit Facebook.com/hillandhollowwv/ for schedules and more info. We found them at our latest visit to the Bridgeport Farmer's Market. Here's what we tried:
Ramp hummus made portable on pita with salad greens, tzatziki sauce, and the best feta crumble ever; and a West Virginia style hot dog made with a quarter pound beef hot dog, mustard, creamy slaw, and a bison chili. For real.
Then, Kelsey tells the tale of a classic case from Iowa in the 70s, in which a gun trap was set to go off in an uninhabited structure (or inhabited if you agree there's ghosts) on the Briney property, which was triggered to hit Katko when he entered it.Also, the Creeps talk about odd birthdays, The Frighteners being a masterpiece, and leaving a clean plate. Matt cries about lack of biscuits, Kelsey tried ramps for the first time ever, seriously go look up what a ramp is, you don't want to live your whole life never trying one. Kelsey makes the Editor laugh with yet another D&D reference.

In this episode, the Creeps cronch on a bunch of Limited Edition flavor Lay's Ruffles potato chips that's themed as Korean-style Sweet and Spicy Chili, contained in a beautiful purple bag. These chips have a nice kick of spices.
Then, Matt tells a brief tale of a very recent alleged event, in which a 41 year old lady in St. Louis, Missouri and definitely not Florida, berated and assaulted a manager of a Jack in the Box over claiming to be missing a single chicken strip, followed by a complete lack of ranch. The two of them continued outside and that's where it got wild.
The Creeps also talk about extra pickles, pie on a stick, and torturing Matt with noodles.

In this episode, Matt explains his desire to visit this adorable legendary local institution, after we had all been in the area previously and didn't go. We're trying an assortment of lovely pastries from JR's Donut Castle , located at 3318 Emerson Ave, Parkersburg, WV. Open Daily 6:00 am - 10:00 pm.

Here's what we tried:

Cannolis, cherry cheese danish, maple nut bar; Donuts: creme filled, apple fritter, a fruity pebbles pink frosted cake that they inhaled, a stealthy reese's, crescent, sour cream, classic cruller

Then, Kelsey tells a wild and awful story about a Washington State couple living in Sissonville, West Virginia, who were charged with felony child neglect for forcefully overworking their adopted foster children in grueling conditions without compensation or safety, while making them sleep outside the house in a locked barn. 

The Creeps also talk about wwii movies, George C. Scotch, and Little Debbie flagships, like, a lot...

In this episode, the Creeps get excited to try something they already like: popcorn, that is flavor themed of something they also already like: Twinkies. They're trying Hostess Twinkie popcorn that Kelsey found at Dollar Tree.

Then, Matt shares information on the story of Luke Stout, a young man from Buckhannon, WV, who mysteriously disappeared after he was last seen on Hickory Flat Rd. in 2012, and he has been missing since.

If you have any information regarding his whereabouts, please contact WV State Police at 304-473-4200, anonymous tip line at 304-473-1001, or Luke's Family at 304-518-9178, or Luke's mother at 304-472-2141. The Case number is 3220-14004 , National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) Case number 16962 . The details of his disappearance and information about Luke can also be found through Voices of the Silent, as well as the Charley Project, which provides profiles for cold case missing persons, at Charleyproject.org/case/luke-david-stout

The Creeps also talk about fizzy water, soft vs crisp, and the rap game.

In this episode, the Creeps try Peruvian dishes from Miskycha, located at 139 Conference Center Way Ste. 105, Bridgeport, WV. Open Mon-Sat 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM. Here's what we tried:

Roasted chicken and rice with aji pepper sauce, Aji de gallina (Creamy spicy chicken served over potatoes and rice with olive and egg), and a special they were serving to celebrate Fiestas Patrias (Pervuian Independence) - Mazamorra Morada (Cinnamon spiced Purple Corn Pudding with plums)

They are highly recommended by the show, this is some of the best food we've ever tried. Main Corpse Seal of Approval.

Then, Matt hops up on his soapbox against the allure of serial killer culture, and instead covers the works and life of Sharon Tate, and the life she and her child could have continued to have, had it not been cut short by murderous cultists that Matt would rather no longer continue to name.

You have homework at Matt's request: Go watch the movies Eye of the Devil, Fearless Vampire Killers, and Valley of the Dolls. The Creeps also talk about Christmas desserts, movie references, and Jack Palance.
