        Good Mourrrrrrrrrning! This week we gather around the breakfast nook with a maple brew to chat about a couple of Canadian nightmares- part one!

          • S2 E23: Junko Furuta

            Mournin'! This week we gather around the nook to discuss a well known case from Japan. The heartbreaking story of Junko can be hard to listen to (especially when the victim's name is accidentally mispronounced a couple of times! Thank you for being patient with Brenna's brain!) so caffeinate and be mindful of your... uh... mind.

              • S2 E22: The Rules Of Death (End of Life Planning)

                Good Mourning, Beans! This week we take a shift from our usual terrible conversations to talk about a bittersweet inevitability. Chatting about mortality can be hard, and end of life planning is really important. You should know that a few considerations need to be made before it is too late. It relieves a lot of pressure for those left behind! As always, please consider speaking to a lawyer before making any major legal decisions because we are just three gals that like to drink coffee and talk about true crime.

                    G'Mern! Have you ever been so tired of legislation, paperwork, and red tape that you wish you could take matters in to your own hands? Well that's what Marv did. This week we chat about a town that pushed one of its people too far, which resulted in millions of dollars worth of damages and an unfortunate loss. It can be hard to see another way out when you are stuck in a situation like this. For now let's caffeinate and discuss around the breakfast nook.

This week we sip a mighty brew as we talk about some of Vegas' organized crime history, where we would haunt when we die, and wrap the entire thing up with a tangent on popular television. Please watch these shows so Amanda can talk about them with you, thank you.

                            Hello Glorious Beans! The gals are back around the breakfast nook! Grab your favorite mug and a fresh cup of coffee! It's time for another Mourning Murders Monday and this one takes us on a rather Long and winding road... ok not really but his last name is Long and I couldn't resist! Though, Lisa McVey is truly the hero of this terrible story. What she goes on to do is incredible. And with that... let's do this.

                            Good Mourrrrrning, Beans! This week we switch brews and bring a new type of offering to the breakfast nook! We discuss a documentary series about the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that blows Brenna's mind. Then we wanted to share this conversation about intervention and reform, as well as what we do with reports of troubling behavior. Heres a hint: Believe survivors and take reports seriously. What are your two cents? What kind of intervention can be done earlier on? Let us know!

                                Gewd Mourn! We can thank Jason for this terrible tale, so this brew is for you! This week we discuss a family divided by their own brother's awful decisions. When there is such a long history of red flags without proper intervention, there is a lot to unpack. This episode sparked some comprehensive conversation that we are excited to share with you separately. We can't wait to hear what you think, so tune in next week for that!

                                    Goooooooooood Mourning, Beans. This week's horrifying tale of abused authority is brought to you by Cora and Christina! We discuss mob mentality, the value of an "experiment" without structure, and imaginary status. You are going to need a strong brew, because this two week long nightmare has a lot to unpack.
