In the early morning hours of May 11, 1995, a couple of tourists driving along a clifftop in Corsica were flagged down by a hysterical woman, who told them that she and her husband had just been involved in a car accident. And the car, with her husband in it, was laying at the bottom of the cliff, 140 metres below.

The story only becomes more tragic when the woman tells police that she and her new husband, Marc, were in the first week of their honeymoon.

But after a chance sighting a year later, an investigation is launched into the death of Marc Van Beers and let’s just say… things are not what they seem. They couldn't be further from it. And as the layers of this story start to unravel, a very frightening and tragic picture comes to light. Enjoy!

This week has been a really dark and heavy one, so we're gonna try our best to take your mind off things with a bit of our favourite trivial bullshit.

We talk about Will and Jada's latest relationship admission and how some confronting news about the Teletubbies 'sun baby' got us thinking about our fave kids TV shows of all time.  And we've got three WEIRD stories that involve a bottle of milk, a gross TikTok admission, and a highly disturbing peek into the strange workings of Mel's mind. Enjoy... and take care of yourselves. xxx

This week, the first family of reality TV has a new pod… and it inspired a solid anti-bucket list item for Mel. We also talk tissue box grievances, why Combantrin is a household staple, why open-backed shoes suck, and Monty gets the most ridiculous offer of all time. Enjoy!

In May 2008, a pair of 40-year-old twin sisters are spotted on CCTV walking along the central strip of the UK's longest and busiest freeway. When Highway Patrol arrive, they cannot believe their eyes when they see both women step over the barrier and VERY intentionally run right into oncoming traffic.

They both survive, but what would play out over the next couple of days will leave you shaking your head for a multitude of reasons... because when it comes to suspicious, this story is about as fishy as it gets. Enjoy!
