There are monsters who hide in the shadows...

...and then there are those who hide in plain sight.

Wayne Adam Ford was a former Marine and long-haul truck driver who spent years traveling California's highways. To everyone around him, he looked like an ordinary truck driver trying to make a living. Behind the wheel, however, he was hunting vulnerable women whose lives deserved so much more than to become headlines.

In this episode of Deadhead Miles, we examine one of the most disturbing cases in trucking history—but our focus isn't on glorifying a serial killer.

It's on remembering the women whose lives were stolen.

We'll follow the investigation that stretched across multiple California counties, the shocking confession that stunned investigators, and the remarkable DNA breakthrough that finally restored one victim's identity after twenty-five years.

Because every victim had a name.

Every victim had a family.

Every victim deserved to come home.

Victims Remembered:
• Kerry Ann Cummings
• Tina Renee Gibbs
• Lanette White
• Patricia Anne Tamez

Today, Adie and I discuss the conspiracy theory, "Project: Monarch". Is this today's version of MK Ultra? Has mind control gone to a Manchurian Candidate level? Is Brittney ok? Join us for all this as we delve in deep!

Some books tell a story. Others challenge everything you thought you knew.

In this premiere episode of Carpe Noctem, Phil and Adie take a thoughtful look at Collateral Damage by Mark Shaw—a book that explores possible connections between the deaths of Marilyn Monroe, President John F. Kennedy, journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and Robert F. Kennedy.

Rather than telling you what to believe, we examine the evidence Shaw presents, compare it with the historical record, discuss where his arguments are compelling, acknowledge where historians disagree, and invite you to reach your own conclusions.

Was Marilyn Monroe simply a tragic Hollywood icon?

Did Dorothy Kilgallen uncover something she wasn't supposed to know?

Why does Robert Kennedy seem to appear at the center of each story?

And what can these cases teach us about history, investigative journalism, and the questions that continue to fascinate us more than sixty years later?

This isn't a conspiracy video. It isn't a debunking video. It's an invitation to investigate history together. Because sometimes the most fascinating mysteries aren't the ones we've solved...
They're the ones we're still talking about decades later.

Nothing like those old conspiracy theories that turned out to be true, like this one. After WW2, our own government began to experiment on American citizens without their consent through a program called MK Ultra. In this classic episode of Carpe Noctem, Adie and I cut through the BS and get into what really happened. Might want to brace yourselves for this one!

If you grew up in the 1980s, you probably remember believing the world was out to get you. Nuclear war. Killer bees. Poisoned Halloween candy. Stranger danger. The Bermuda Triangle. Quicksand. Looking back, some of those fears were very real. Others were wildly exaggerated. A few were almost entirely myths. But every one of them shaped the way Generation X sees the world today.

In this episode, we're taking a humorous—but thoughtful—look back at the fears that defined our childhood and the lessons they left behind. Along the way, we'll separate fact from fiction, revisit some unforgettable moments in pop culture, and maybe even laugh at just how convinced we were that quicksand was waiting around every corner.

So grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let's revisit the decade that taught an entire generation to ask questions...and always keep one eye out for killer bees.

Today, I'm talking about the dumbest rule the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration) ever came up with...well, one of them. I'm talking about the 60/70 hour rule, and I'll give an example of why I feel this way based on stuff that happened to me this week. Am I out of line? Am I just pouting? Do I just need a nap? Let's talk about it! I'd love to read your opinions in the comments!

A classic episode of Carpe Noctem, in which Adie and I discuss the 27 Club "J" Factor curse of Robert Johnson. Did Robert Johnson sell his soul to the devil at a crossroads in Clarksdale, MS leading to a curse that would claim the lives of artists who dared to follow in his footsteps at the young age of 27? Let's talk about it!
