  • S1 E30: Casey Anthony
    Good mourning beans and brothers. Today we are coming in hot as a fresh pot of coffee to talk about a 5'1½" turd that was never held responsible. Follow us as we confidently lead you through the back halls of this case, aaaaalll the way to a verdict that is as bitter as bad coffee. We discuss what makes us make bad choices, and about what "bad" even means. You know what is an objectively "good" choice? Being cool to kids -AND giving us a rate-er-roony on your streaming app, if available! It helps us grow and gives us feedback as we begin to plan for this new year, and season 2. Also if YOU have a recommendation for an episode, drop us a line!

      • S1 E28: Fred West

        Mournin' Beans. We are pouring a cup and thanking Adam for the nightmares -or rather... daymares? Mourmares? Anyway this is a tale of incredible neglect that lead to even worse and horrifying abuse. Just when we think this one is bad, it gets worse. Clutch your mugs and inhale the sweet sweet scents of your glorious bean water... because this guy and his wife sucks. But Adam sure doesn't! Thanks Adam!

          • S1 E27: Lizzie Andrew Borden

            Good Momu, Beanybabies! It's FINALLY happening. Amanda is finally telling the tale of the bloody brutal Borden murders. This week we talk theories, birdie-cide, and the importance of... I dunno, not leaving a crime scene alone with suspects for two whole days? We're no experts, but something seems a-miss in Fall River and we are fixin' to postulate and caffeinate.

                GOODMOURN! Today we have an extra special guest at the breakfast nook: Ben Loewy, the Artistic Director for The Playhouse Theater in Las Vegas, NV. He recently played fictional death row inmate Archie Nunn in 'So I Killed A Few People' by Gary Rudoren & David Summers. In it Archie has been granted permission to explain why he killed (at least) 8 people in a televised event one week before his execution. We talk about the inspiration for the character as well as how it feels to play a monster. Grab your mugs because we are going in deep on this one.

                Good Mourning! Today we thank Tim for recommending a truly messed up tale of murder, kidnapping, and car rentals. We chat about the importance of speaking up and learn where the term "stool pigeon" came from. The Beast of British Columbia is here to haunt our nightmares, so put some maple syrup in your coffee and let's get started!

                        Gewd Mern! What are you sipping on this mourning? This week we talk about babies and the people that want them- by any means necessary. This happens SO often that Amanda brings more than one case to the breakfast nook, so how about... folks just don't... do that anymore? We also continue to percolate over the topic of the death penalty and trauma. Get those beans ground and ready, its another Monday!
