Murder, My Dude gets down and dirty this week with a look at one of Pennsylvania's most notorious outlaw bikers: Robert "Mudman" Simon. A founding member of the PA Chapter of the Warlocks motorcycle gang, Simon spent a great deal of his adult life in prison, and almost all of his time as a free man raising unimaginable amounts of hell. Once behind bars, he met the opposite side of the same coin, an equally despicable murderer. When the two crossed paths, only one would walk out alive.

Elsewhere on the show, This Week In Murder explores a TMZ report of an ex-NFL star reportedly being eyed in a double murder for hire investigation and the tale of a good cop gone bad. We also have a transportation-themed edition of Who Died The Worst?

Oh yeah, and a month's worth of quarantine has gotten us positively stir-crazy! That means more side tangents and rants than you can shake a stick at! Countless names are made fun of. We discuss obscure thrift stores and supermarkets. Learn the story of the 10 cent (or was it 50 cent?) loveseat! Oh yeah, and Christopher Guest movies! How does it all tie together? Listen and find out.

Murder, My Dude returns with another super-sized helping of true crime goodness to help make your quarantine downtime a little more fun.

John DuPont was social distancing before it was cool (ok, that's enough Covid references). The eccentric multi-millionaire lived a childhood full of loneliness before devoting much of his adulthood to sport. By the mid 1980s, wrestling had drawn DuPont's interest and he started his own elite club with some of the best America - and later, the world - could offer. When John's mental state started to weaken, however, the consequences turned deadly.

And somehow, this story led us to a lengthy discussion of the Wendy's Superbar. You'll have to listen to find out how.

Elsewhere on the show, This Week In Murder explores a new development on a case from the beginning of the century and a horrible hate crime at a Sam's Club in Texas. At the end, we finish with an edition of Who Died The Worst that only a Tiger King could love.

Murder, My Dude returns with a lover's quarrel turned into an international manhunt. Ira Einhorn was a central part of Philadelphia counterculture from the Summer of Love all the way up until the mid-seventies, but when things turned South in a tumultuous five-year relationship, he was revealed to be a bad neighbor, an even worse boyfriend, and a surprisingly hard to nab fugitive. This week's show takes you from his beginnings as a Jewish kid in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia to the prolonged legal battle waged to ensure he faced justice.

Elsewhere on the show, This Week In Murder explores the newest addition to Bob Dylan's legendary catalog and an unbelievable story of a mother and daughter both taken before their time.

And, because they can't all be gems, we end the show with, quite possibly, the worst-ever Who Died The Worst?

We've gotten an amazing response for our latest episode! So amazing, we recorded a quick thank you message.

We've been good here at Murder, My Dude and we're doing our best to practice Social Distancing! It may have made us a little bit stir crazy, though, and the result is one of the goofiest episodes of the podcast ever! The subject matter, as always, is quite serious though:

This Week In Murder explores a horrible mass shooting in North Carolina and a prison escape that wasn't in Alabama.

Our featured topic is our second annual Murder O'Dude: a look at the Shankill Butchers, a notrious and homicdal gang that terrorized Belfast for the better part of a decade. (Fans in the U.K. and Ireland: apologies in advance for our ignorance!)

Finally, a very special edition of Who Died The Worst explores the dangers of the outside world in an effort to promote social distancing!

This Week In Murder: 5:32 (Kind of)

Featured Topic: The Shankill Butchers: 23:25

Who Died The Worst: 1:21:50

Send in the clowns!

As this show is released on March 12, 2020, it 40 years ago to the day that John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of over 30 (!) counts of murder. This week, we look at the killer clown's tragic backstory, apparent successes, and the dark crimes those successes provided a cover for. We also look at the societal and parental pressures that may have created this monster. As always, it's not a pleasant story, but it's one we cover as only we can!

Our latest edition of This Week In Murder looks at a horrific domestic incident in Arizona, A biker party gone bad in Cleveland, and a controversial execution in Alabama. And as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst?

Jackson and B.P. keep their post-hiatus momentum going with the longest episode in MMD history! The Tool Box Killers, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, are among the most evil criminals this show has discussed in its year-plus of covering crime. They terrorized Southern California for the better part of 1979, praying exclusively on teenage girls in brutalizing them is such horrible ways they made witnesses flee the courtroom in repulsion and gave their prosecutors nightmares.

Elsewhere, This Week In Murder looks at a trio of current cases and we play a California-themed episode of Who Died The Worst?

This Week In Murder: 27:15

Murder, My Dude returns from a lengthy hiatus to cover the basics of what is likely the most famous political assassination of the 20th Century: the 1963 murder of President John F. Kennedy. While it's impossible to fully explore every angle of the assassination in a single podcast, this episode provides a good launching point, covering the official story as well as several prominent conspiracy theories. 

But before that, we take one of our signature detours as Jackson gets into his newest obsession: the classic Kennedy era sitcom Dobie Gillis, as well as a quick look at This Week (well, month) in Murder. Finally, we close with a rousing game of Who Died The Worst!

We normally release our show right at 12AM on Thursday, but as today would be the 91st birthday of the late Martin Luther King Jr., it's fitting to release it now instead.

We start this week's show off with our usual chaotic, comedic spin on true crime podcasting, but then we take a deep, deep look at both the infamous April 4, 1968 assassination of Dr. King, but also a serious attempt on his life a decade prior. We also explore the checkered past and frantic pursuit of the man who pled guilty to the murder: James Earl Ray.

From there, we make a major pivot. Ray recanted his confession three days after and insisted he was set up as a patsy. He found unlikely allies in his claims of innocence: Coretta Scott King and Dexter King, the wife and son of the civil rights icon. We explore the vendetta that the FBI had against King during his lifetime and the alternate theories that exist regarding one of the most heinous killings of the 20th Century.
