Oh hey! We didn’t see you there!

This week, we’re telling poop jokes and avoiding squirrel gangs, so the usual…

First up, Maggie is going to tell the story of Tarrare – the French showman turned spy that could not stop eating. This story is pretty gross and also slightly ridiculous, so if you aren’t into poop jokes from 18th century France, you might want to skip this. Or don’t. We can’t tell you what to do.

Dreia is getting back to her roots with the tale of the Mackie Poltergeist. While it is unconfirmed if this was a poltergeist or an angry gang of squirrels, we are going to just assume it is the former. Andrew Mackie and his family were super patient with the poltergeist and let it just get bored with them before it declared it was going to peace out on a Tuesday. It gave itself a deadline and it stuck with it.

We truly appreciate all of your support and we’re so glad you’re listening. Thanks for being the best, even though we are the worst.

Maggie and Dreia are swapping roles this week – Dreia goes DARK and Maggie tries to like history.

Up first, Dreia is going to tell the story of the murder of Kathy Hobbs. Kathy was a precocious and possibly depressed teenager who believed she would not live to see her 16th birthday. While she did live to see that birthday, she didn’t live much longer after that.

After that huge bummer, Maggie is going to talk all about The Empress of Austria and the Queen of Hungary – Elisabeth of Bavaria. Elisabeth is the Jamie Lee Curtis of 1898 and a general badass. She had the mother in law from hell, struggled with an eating disorder, and suffered through tragedy after tragedy, but that didn’t stop her from being super political and creating the dual monarchy of Austria and Hungary.

We’ve got a lot to talk about this week and we hope you enjoy it all! Please let us know what you think by contacting us through one of our channels:

What happens when you mix Dreia, Maggie, and some murder-osas (it’s really a mimosa, but just let us have fun, okay?)?  You get our sixth ever CULT WEEK!  We are full of eggs and champagne and we are ready to party this week. 

 

Up first, Maggie is going to discuss the utter travesty that is the Kingston Clan (also known as the Kingston Group, the Kingston Cult, or The Order) and the rampant abuse that happens there.  If you weren’t aware, the Kingston Clan is an offshoot of the Church of Latter Day Saints except they aren’t a legitimate religion and they are also led by a group of pedophiles that also happen to be batshit insane.  We’ve got a happy ending for you in the form of Christine Marie Katas who happens to be an angel that will take in and provide support to any one that escapes from the cult and needs help.

 

Dreia has a FUN cult this week and she’s talking about Happy Science.  Guys, that’s literally the name of this cult.  Happy Science.   I’m just going to let that sink in for a minute.

 

Okay, ready for the rest, because it’s bananas.  The founder of Happy Science believes that he receives messages from God, Buddha, Ben Franklin, and even Barack Obama and that he has the secret to being happy.  He knows how science works and he also knows how to be happy.  Buckle up and join us on our journey to Japan for this one!

Did you know that most humans are actually just garbage piles? Oh, you didn’t? Well, let’s talk about Adolf Eichmann, the Nazis, and the Milgram Experiment. After most Nazis were caught and put on trial, most of them claimed that they were just following orders, which got Stanley Milgram thinking about how much pain humans would be willing to inflict upon other humans in the name of following orders. Turns out, it’s a lot.

Things don’t get better with Dreia’s story, either. Nearly 30 years ago, Bonnie Haim disappeared from her seemingly perfect life. Her husband Michael claimed that she walked out after a fight and abandoned him and their son Aaron. This unsolved case was recently solved when Aaron took matters into his own hands to start digging up the backyard of his childhood home.

This week, we’re delving into the ghosts of Mt. Everest and then talking about the Soap Maker of Correggio.

First up, Dreia is going to tell us all about the multitude of ghosts that hang out as shadow people begging for food on Mount Everest. The ghosts are all very hungry, but there is one that will offer you tea and one that will go all Lorax on your ass if you cut down any trees. We have some pretty clear priorities, though, we’re here to talk mint cakes and ghosts NOT yetis, so don’t come at us with that ish.

Maggie is about to bum everyone out with her take on Leonarda Cianciulli, also known as the Soap Maker of Correggio. While Leonarda may have made soap the normal way to sell in her shop, she also once made soap out of the fat from the body of one of her victims. Guys, she was just trying to protect her son from death by performing human sacrifices. And what’s a human sacrifice without a little human fat soap and bloody tea cakes?

Thanks for listening, friends!

This is the episode where neither of us can actually pronounce words and it’s a lot of fun. It may also be the tequila.

Maggie gets to go first, and she will regale you with the tale of Arthur Baby Shark – erm – Arthur Shawcross. Long story short, Arthur Shawcross is a garbage pile of a human that also happens to be a pretty prolific serial killer from upstate New York.

Next up, Dreia has some history to go over – big surprise there…. This is not the story of Jamestown, even though Maggie seems to think so, but it is the story of the Colony of Roanoke and how everyone mysteriously disappeared.

Look out for all of the sharks, land pirates, and spooky croutons in this episode and thanks for listening!

This episode is A Whole Other Sack of Cats because it’s CULT WEEK!

We’re talking politics, sex cults, political cults, and alien cults – it’s like a terrible party you DON’T want to be invited to.

First up, Grandpa Saul invites you to join him at the Sullivan Institute where it’s all kinds of sex, all of the time. Except for the times when the cult members are beating up random people for spilling paint – which is a reasonable reaction, friends. Let’s get real here.

After all of that sex, we’re going to take a trip in a flying saucer – are you ready to be brought to the Next Level? Yes? We’re glad to hear it because Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Lu Nettles are ready to show you how to get to the spaceship as long as you join Heaven’s Gate.

We are all about not joining either of these cults – both require quite a few sacrifices, including completing suicide, which is not something that we would recommend.

Thanks for joining us on this journey, friends!

It’s all cats, all the time on this episode of We are the Worst. So… we hope you like those!

But for reals, Maggie is going to get historical on all of your asses and it’s fun. History is super fun when it involves a sex worker that loves her some horses and cash money. Marguerite Alibert is our heroine tonight and she will show off her ankles regardless of what her men say about it – she’ll even go so far as to murder her husband for trying to tame her.

Dreia is for sure the worst this week and she’s going to tell you all about Zombie Road in Missouri. Yeah, it’s another ghost story and it’s not for listening to alone in the dark. But did you know that ghosts are actually just geometric shapes? Watch out for Johnny Trapezoid if you’re ever in Missouri.

Thanks for listening, friends! You’re the best and we are the worst.

Don’t get too excited, friends. This is NOT a special episode. Dreia does a fake out and we get a twist ending that no one saw coming. Except, it’s a cold case and everyone already knew how it ended. We’re then going to put on some tinfoil hats and talk about the looming threat of land sharks – they’re a thing and they’re coming to take over the world. Just ask Maggie.

This week, Dreia tells us about the murder of Sheila Lorena Barrero Fernandez. Sheila was a travel agent and bar tender who had just finished her degree in Tourism Studies when she was murdered. Was the murderer Chef Boyardee or someone else? Unfortunately, this case is cold and is not likely to be solved any time soon.

Maggie then talks about the disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lornegan, former Peace Corps volunteers that went missing during a diving trip in Australia. After the dive boat abandoned the couple, they were never heard from again. Was this a case of murder-suicide, running a way to start a new life, or did the Lornegan’s drown in the ocean? We may never know as their bodies have never been found.

Welcome to the Waffle House of Chicken, everyone! This is the episode chock full of Satanic Panic, cold case murders in the Bible Belt, a weird Japanese ghost with a surgical mask, and, of course, chicken!

Join us as we chat about the West Memphis Three and how the brutal murders of three little boys led to the false imprisonment of some goth teenagers. The case is full of all kinds of weird twists and turns and has not been solved to this day – some twenty-six years later.

After that, Dreia will regale us with the tale of Kuchisake-Onna who really just needed external validation from her husband and the village she lived in, instead she was brutally murdered and haunts a small island off the coast of Japan. Look out for telephone poles and women wearing surgical masks and if a stranger asks if you if you think she’s pretty – just run.

Thanks for the nightmares, Dreia.
