Hybristophilia, aka Bonnie and Clyde syndrome, is the technical term for sexual arousal inspired by someone else's crimes. Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, Chris Watts — all received a ton of love letters in prison, often with bikini pics enclosed. Ramirez and Bundy each married women after they had gone to prison for a slew of disgusting crimes. Theories abound for this bizarre attraction: Are these women lonely victims of manipulation? Or is something more sinister afoot? Molly thinks she knows, and Katie begs us all not to drag bad boys' good names into this.

Blind items often reveal Hollywood scandals long before they hit the newstands. Crazy Days and Nights, a blind item gossip site, talked about Harvey Weinstein and Keith Raniere (of the NEXIVM cult) long before reputable news outlets revealed their crimes to the public. Who's next? Katie and Molly look into the rumours swirling around Chris Cuomo, and speculate as to why so many blind item websites seem to have it out for Meghan Markle.

This episode brought to you by Gal Gadot's celeb-studded rendition of John Lennon's famous anti-war song "Imagine." We unpack why it's the wrong song for the crisis at hand, and why it's the exact opposite of playing the trumpet for your neighbors. We're also covering why it is that celebrities and basketball players can get tested for COVID-19 while the rest of us stay home and suck it up. Also: Which social media influencers are capitalizing on the crisis? This all probably has Lennon rolling in his grave, but Katie shares her best guess for what he would want us to do if he was still alive: Stay in bed and grow your hair.

The Doctors will see you now! And this time... they're real doctors. Dr. Shiloh & Dr. Scott from  "LA Not So Confidential" join Yeah No Yeah to discuss celebrity stalkers: the who, the why, and the what the hell.  Molly opens with a stalker who studied a pop singer's selfies, zooming in and enhancing the reflection in her pupils to find out where she lived.  Then we cover Taylor Swift's most persistent stalker, the woman with an erotomanic obsession with  David Letterman,  and the obsessed fan who tried to murder Bjork. Along the way, the doctors talk erotomania, delusion, and the connection between suicidal and homicidal ideation.

Yeah No Yeah recorded this episode from our respective homes, muddling our way through the covid-19  pandemic with rest of the world. We thought we'd take this time to check in with some of the celebrity doctors and MLM scams we've covered the past two seasons: What do the essential oil peddlers and schlocky TV doctors have to say about coronavirus? We talk about Goop-approved physician Dr. Kelly Brogan, the suspect psychiatrist who doesn't "accept coronavirus as a reality."  Did Dr. Drew not treat the virus with the seriousness it deserved? Why is Dr. Phil giving toilet seat-licking "coronavirus challenge" tik-tokkers a platform? This episode also covers the rumor that the coronavirus came from bat soup, and the role of Chinese traditional medicine in the illegal wildlife trade.

Young fans of YouTube and TikTok believe a few of their favorite entertainers have been kidnapped, and are being forced to make extremely creepy  videos against their will. According to Katie, "There's nothing the teen detective of YouTube can't do...except properly identify when someone is being held captive." We go over the conspiracy theories that swirl around BonSkinny, Marina Joyce, and Kate Yup, as well as the Alternate Reality Games that may provide some explanation for a few internet mysteries. This episode also touches on the real missing person cases of Karlie Guse and Kayla Berg, and how certain YouTubers have used concern over these cases to grow their channels.

To Catch A Predator got great ratings, but NBC cancelled it in 2007 after one of the targeted offenders met a violent end. Host Chris Hansen developed a devoted fan base, and the show’s cancellation left them thirsty for more pervs. But legal authorities argue that Chris Hansen – and his many imitators – don’t actually use the best tactics. We ask the tough questions: is using a vigilante group called "Perverted Justice" to bait a bunch of ‘philias into eating pizza with underage girls REALLY the way to ensure these men do jail time? Hansen has revitalized his career with the help of YouTube and the Onision drama, but his staffing choices have raised more questions about his judgment. Excitingly, we have a surprise guest spot from Dr. Shiloh of LA Not So Confidential, who pops in to give us some professional insight into what type of offender takes their twisted fantasies offline.

15 years later, we’ve gone where few women have gone before, wading into Neil Strauss’s The Game and swimming in its somewhat slimy waters. While dorky and somewhat manipulative, his writing seems blissfully inoffensive compared to the incel rants that get upvoted on Reddit today. We talk about some major misconceptions that date-challenged men like to circulate, including the notion that hypergamy relates to modern dating or square jaws. Although this episode nearly put us off all men everywhere, our old pal Chris (from YNY seasons 1 & 2) made an appearance to explain what it is that men are looking for when they crack open a book by Neil Strauss.
