My Existential Crisis episodes

  • 62. General Decrepit Ruins, At Your Service (The Soul Trap Theory)

    Happy Memorial Day! We're coming at you with episode 62 and we have a rather grim one for you today. But first, Dylan tells us about his new purchase and we're eagerly awaiting the visuals for it. He's also become a hat guy, but wants to make it clear that he's not a fedora guy. Madison talks briefly about her travels from the last 2 weeks where she went to Kenya, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague.

    This week, Dylan gets a bit spiritually existential as he tells us about the controversial Soul Trap Theory (and no, that's not a new music genre). It's also referred to as the Cosmic Prison where we are being continuously used for our energy and then spat out for reincarnation back into the universe.

  • 61. Aaron the Ripper (The Disappearance and Reappearance of Alicia Navarro)

    We've reached episode 61! Not exactly a huge milestone but impressive nonetheless. Dylan talks about his experience taking voice lessons and gives his best rendition of John Dylnver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads."


    Madison provides an update on one of the oldest cases in true crime history, the mystery of Jack the Ripper's identity. She also updates us on the Vallow-Daybell case before going into the disappearance and reappearance of Alicia Navarro.

    We've reached our 60th episode! And Dylan has reached his 30th birthday. We talk about Oddjob Hats (not a sponsor - yet), Steven King movies, secret cookie recipes and unassuming drug dealers.

    In this episode, Dylan goes into the emerging panic surrounding microplastics, from its origins to the current day conversation around this growing issue. We go into the health problems caused by microplastics, potential ways to detox and more.

  • 59. Have You Heard of Mindfulness? (John Wayne Gacy Part 3)

    This week, we conclude our three-part series on John Wayne Gacy. Dylan and Madison talk about their favorite episodes of My Existential Crisis, Dylan's 30th birthday and anxiety-inducing psychiatry calls to discuss anxiety. An important question is posed: Is napping a hobby?

    For the final part of this series, Madison goes into Gacy's methods, his court case and execution. We talk about the grisly details and more, discussing our opinions on the death penalty and the legacy of one of America's most infamous killers.

  • 58. The One Animal You Won't See on an African Safari (John Wayne Gacy Part 2)

    We're back with part two of our three-part series on John Wayne Gacy. Dylan talks about his disheartening experience with an Instagram scammer and his heartening experience with a large branch. Madison goes into her upcoming trip to Kenya and the tiger-less safari she has planned.


    In this second part, we follow Gacy's descent into increasingly violent and erratic behavior as investigators close in. The chase comes to a powerful, poignant conclusion. We'll follow up with the final part next week, so stay tuned.

  • 57. An Unimpressed Confederate Ghost Soldier (John Wayne Gacy Part 1)

    It's episode 57! Dylan and Madison talk for 20 minutes about all the things life has brought them in the last few weeks. Dylan has a creepy crawly scare which sent Madison into "go-mode," and Madison experienced a ghostly occurrence at the Gettysburg battlefield.


    This week (and the next two subsequent weeks), Madison brings us part one of the account of John Wayne Gacy and his many victims. It's a doozy of a story that we wanted to make sure had its due diligence done. Strap in for part one and keep your eyes peeled for the remaining two parts.

  • 56. Big Chair Problems & Pastry Chef Aspirations (The Mystical Mount Kailash)

    Another week, another episode! Dylan talks about his problematic purchase of an overly large office chair, bemoaning the reaction of his coworkers. Madison makes an enemy of a curb, talking in graphic detail about the tumble she took.


    Dylan then goes on to discuss the mysterious Mount Kailash, a place of great religious significance in many Eastern religions. The mountain, never formally summited, is surrounded by strange phenomenon and rumors of a mystical city named Shambhala.

  • 55. My Happy Meal Ass & a Bubble Wrap Salesman (The Death of Tina Watson)

    We're here with episode 55 and we're feeling some weird energy today.


    We're joined by Binx in the studio today while we talk more about Madison's recent cruise, Dylan's selfish habits, banana milk, childhood nostalgia, and much more this time around. We just can't seem to shut up.


    This week, Madison brings the story of the death of Tina Watson. It's both solved and unsolved and someone has been tried and acquitted for the same crime. In the end, you decide what you think.

  • 54. Taming the Tain & Syncing the Hemis (The Dark Side of Meditation)

    We're back with another episode! We hear more about Dylan's ski trip to Vermont, all the whacky falls and the surprising fact that you can, actually, get sunburned when it's snowy and cold. Madison tells us about her Google Bot costume, created with duct tape and determination for a surreal birthday celebration.


    This week, Dylan covers the dark side of meditation, going into facts and figures that demonstrate the mental danger of diving into this practice uninformed. He provides a few stories from meditators before discussing his own experience with the hemi-sync method.

  • 53. A Hairline Fracture in My Sanity & Wasabi Schwabe (Third Man Syndrome)

    We're slightly delayed, but BACK with episode 53!


    This week, Madison talks more about her upcoming travel plans, some upside down pineapple lore, fears of human trafficking, and Somalian pirates, but that's just a normal Tuesday for her. Dylan provides no comfort at all, but still remains incredibly optimistic despite the troublesome state of the world. Don't worry though, we've got Rush Limbaugh in our corner...


    This week, Madison covers the phenomena known as Third Man Syndrome and shares stories from those who have experienced it. Dylan impresses us all with his poetry knowledge and his fortune telling abilities.
