What happens when the internet decides to pit 100 men against one silverback gorilla? We dive into the most ridiculous—and viral—debate no one asked for but everyone’s obsessed with.

You ever hear a story so messy you don’t even know where to start?

This week on the MFM Mini Pod, we’re diving into the Karen Read case — the trial blowing up the true crime world (and TikTok).Was it drunk rage? A coverup? Or the worst case of “wrong place, wrong time” we’ve ever seen?

We break down all the players:

- John O’Keefe, the off-duty cop found dead in the snow.

- Karen Read, the girlfriend accused of running him over — or maybe just being too convenient to blame.

- Brian and Nicole Albert, who hosted the afterparty at 34 Fairview Road (where things went really sideways).

- Colin Albert, the nephew with the sketchy timeline and some serious temper issues.

- Jen McCabe, the friend with the very suspicious 2:27 AM “how long to die in the cold” Google search.

- Brian Higgins, the flirty fed who tossed his phone at a military base (because why not?).

- Michael Proctor, the lead cop who literally texted about how much he hated Karen — and just got fired.

- Special prosecutor Hank Brennan is running the case now, but Read’s defense team — Alan Jackson and David Yannetti — are coming in hot.

This case has it all: bad vibes, missing evidence, deleted phones, conspiracy theories, and one giant question — did Karen Read even do it?

If you're into true crime, citizen sleuthing, or just wild courtroom drama, you're gonna want to hear this one.
