No one is sure how it started , whether accidental or intentional, but soon one city in the Panhandle during the 1950s and 1960s was responsible for 2/3 of all loss of limbs insurance claims in the US , with the city of Vernon as the main culprit. Payouts moved faster , as we say, than boudin in the break room. When one payout reached $100,000 , insurance agents got suspicious and were sent to investigate the city of Vernon where as one insurance agent noted in his 1972 report, the two major past times were ‘watching hound dogs mate’ and ‘self-mutilation for cash.’ On this episode “Welcome to Nub City” we discuss how a small town suffering a financial depression, turned people to desperate measures to stay afloat or get rich quick …. Joining us to discuss is special guest and podcast host Sai Sion of Build a Better Ally. 

 We also discuss Errol Morris’s documentary Vernon, Florida, which due to threats from the Nub Club’s goons has nothing to do with the loss of limbs scam, but is instead a delightful character study of Vernon’s non-Nub Club Members. Be sure to tune in. There may or may not be an impromptu Nub Club theme song from our wonderfully talented guest!

Two brutal murders occurred with a church setting and remain as cold cases. Reverend Carol Daniels was murdered on August 23, 2009 on the way to preach at her church in Anadarko, Oklahoma. She was found nearly decapitated, stabbed, doused in chemical agents, and left in a crucifix-like position near the church's altar. Another woman, Missy Bevers, was murdered in the early hours before teaching a fitness class outside Creekside Church in Midlothian, Texas on April 18, 2016.

Tina Frey, is the founder and owner of Cypress Arrow Cane Corso and trains and breeds dogs in a multitude of services including search and rescue and (HRD) human remains detection. Cypress Arrow is Louisiana's largest Cane Corso breeder and all breeds dog trainer and is nationally recognized. We learn more about what it takes to conduct and manage a grid search with the dogs and how they are trained to find people on both land and water.

Our minisodes are a break from true crime where we discuss Michelle's internet search history, which is teeming with the weird and wonderful.

In this episode's crime adjacent topic, we have created a safe space to discuss and admire both reborn and sex dolls or "hard bodies," as we like to think of them with special guest, Andrea Schmidt. Sprinkled into the conversation, we cover Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and give nod to our lord of lords "Britton," the reborn doll known worldwide. And speaking to the ether: where does one keep their sex doll when parents come to visit, and can they potentially foster necrophilia? Are these "expensive hobbies" for loneliness or do they parrot larger truths about our society that haven't yet passed the "normalized" threshold?

Following the murder of a New Orleans police chief by an unknown assailant, 11 Italian immigrants and Italian Americans were lynched by an angry mob on March 14, 1891.

The event remains the largest mass lynching in US history. In 2019, the city issued an official proclamation of apology for the tragic event, which had plagued the Italian community worldwide.

In Part 2, we continue our discussion of women experiencing homelessness with special guest, Staci Alziebler-Perkins, the Executive Director of Gathering for Women-Monterey, a day shelter that services 400 women annually, many of whom are over 60-years-old and who are locals. 80% of those who filed for unemployment at the height of the pandemic in 2020 were women. We learn the stories of these resilient women who are teachers, mothers, caregivers, scientists who had their lives changed in an instant.

Women who experience homelessness have fallen through the cracks in our databases and are among the population that is statistically referred to as the "missing, missing." We speak with Michael Reid who is a retired Episcopal priest, advocate for the homeless, co-founder and organizer of The Fund for Homeless Women of the Community Foundation for Monterey County, and author of No Vacancy: Homeless Women in Paradise. Michael's message remains timely and urgent: this issue concerns us all and until we change the narrative of "THEM" to "US," homelessness will continue...
