Ep 191 - A Quarter Pounder and French Fries - Chad Daybell Pt 4
Part four of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell trial. Today we learn about all sorts of things and hear from all sorts of sassy people. We would also like to ask Judge Boyce not to hold us in contempt and wonder if you know that Garth brought Tammy a Quarter Pounder and fries.

Ep 190 - I'm Sorry Pop-Pop - Chad Daybell Pt 3
Part three of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell trial. We’re keeping up pretty well and Casey turns this into almost a telenovela of sassy judges and courtroom daddies. We are still working through to the prosecution's witnesses and it’s been a lot. Again, we really suggest that you go back and refresh with the episodes covering Lori’s case for more context on Chad’s.

Remember back about a year ago? Almost exactly actually, Casey dove into the wild, terrible trial of Lori Vallow. Well, now Chad Daybell, her partner in the crimes (and a few more) is starting his trial and Casey is here with some details. If you want a refresher on Lori’s case you can check out Casey’s four part series starting in episode 153.

Ep 187: It's Not For You - Appalachia
What’s the number one rule of Appalachia? Listen to this episode and you’ll find out. Casey and Roya go back to their roots in the mountain range known for strange occurrences and mysteries. Roya leads this episode though, talking about some of the lesser known cryptids, legends and general spooky shit from different areas of the range. If you want to hear about big names like The Bell Witch or Mothman, please let us know on social media or in a review on Apple podcasts!

What do guano, rocks, and Ernest Hemingway all have in common? Let us introduce you to Lester Hemingway. Writer, explorer, adventurer, island owner? What even is an island? This is a pretty fun episode where Roya got boozed up early on so please come, and enjoy!

Ep 185: You Said One of the Jurors Came Out and I was like 'Good For Him' - Carol Christie
In this episode, Roya covers Carol Christie, an extremely inspiring survivor and escapee from a polygamist cult in Canada. We go over how she got involved, how she was abused, how she recovered, and how she got revenge.

Ep 184: We Don't Slander the Name of Señor Pascal Here - Cake or Death?
What’s the weirdest way someone could be tested to see if god is on their side? Dipping your hands in hot oil? Surviving a cobra bite? Perhaps by eating several raisins worth of bread and cheese and not choking?
Casey covers all the variety of ways that people tried to test to see if god was on the side of those who were on trial for crimes. The outcomes were simple, if you died, or didn’t heal in 3 days, you were guilty. If you survived or were miraculously healed, you were innocent.
Is there one you think you could survive? Or one that you think was the most interesting? Let us know.

Ep 183: I've Never Met a Good Dennis - The Murder of Marylynn DePue
Jeepers Creepers, Where’d You Get Those Peepers is something you’ll definitely be asking yourself after you look at a picture of Dennis DePue, a violent bully whose crime had a lasting effect in shaping the first scene of Jeepers Creepers. His whole family were made to be his victims, finally culminating in a very unfortunate morning with his ex-wife, Marylynn DePue.

Ep 182: It's All the Cocaine - The Dancing Plague
It was the dancing plague, blood and priests, only 15(18). This is not what Dancing Queen was about (probably), but there was a woman who started dancing and couldn’t stop and she caused a craze that hit the whole village. We talk about (historical) facts, possible legends, divine causes and actual theories.

Ep 181: Penny Jackson, No Relation to Michael or Alan Jackson - She Wants Revenge
Was her sentence justified? Help us decide. Today Roya is covering the patreon chosen subject ‘She Wants Revenge’ as we talk about Penny Jackson and how she might just be the most quotable killer we have covered on this podcast (though Casey and I quote Denny Rader a lot ‘Oh Anna, why did you not appear?’).

Did you know that Japan had their own version of the Red Sox? Well, they do, but their losing streak may be able to be blamed on… a fast food mascot? You’ll have to stick around and hear what Casey has to say!

Ep 179: The Pot Pie Lady - Blue Beards
So, it was the runner up for the poll and Roya thought it would be fun to cover two episodes from the poll. In honor of Valentine’s day, we’re talking about Henri Landru, The Bluebeard of Gambais. He’s a real piece of work that will make you maybe be a little relieved to not be in a relationship, or maybe give you pause when a proposal seems too good to be tru.

Ep 178: I Made a Poop Joke - Mary Ellen Pleasant
Abolitionists. The Gold Rush. Racism. Black Excellence. Casey tells us about the incredible life led by Mary Ellen Pleasant, a Black female abolitionist who moved out to California in search of fortune. Fortune that she definitely found. She was pretty incredible and we hope that everyone walks away with a new baddie to respect.

Ep 177 - Oh No! I Forgot About the Wee-Woos! - Mark Kandel
Did you grow up with a family that was very attached to your local weather people? Well, that was the case for a lot of people in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania in the 90s to 00s with Marisa Burke. She was the area’s It Girl news anchor whose romance with Mark Kandel took the whole viewing area by storm.
But the romance wouldn’t last forever when Mark had some bad habits that creeped into their lives and ruined their marriage and threatened to tarnish her reputation forever.

Ep 176 - Can You Imagine if Witches Made You Unable to Come? - Cone of Power
What do witches, Hitler and Aleister Crowley all have in common? Potentially one very particular ritual. Casey takes us back to World War II where a coven of witches gathered together to tell Hitler he couldn’t come. The crazy thing? It didn’t not work. But who actually did it?
Did it even happen? You decide

Ep 175: Thou Art a Liar - Cock Lane Ghost/Scratching Fanny
Was it murder? Was there a ghost? What even is incest really? All that more explored in this strange ghost story, where Casey takes us back to England, 1792, where Dick on Cock Lane got his life all stirred up by the possibility of a ghost haunting his daughter.

Ep 174: Save Dana, The Rest Can Go - Virilio Aguilar Mendez
We know that you heard from Roya last, but this case was important so we wanted to interrupt our previously established episodes to get this in here while it’s super relevant. Earlier this year, an injustice was done in Florida (shocker) and there may be some time to help make a difference. If you would be so kind to take a few seconds to sign this petition if you feel moved by the situation, Roya and Casey would greatly appreciate it.

Ep 173: Hold On, I Have to Look at the Chuck E Cheese Menu - Chuck E Cheese Murders
Roya takes Casey and you all on a trip through a fairly cut and dry crime, but is it all it seems to be? The assailant, while not justified, was also made to be a victim his entire life. Abuse and cruelty compounded with hereditary mental health struggles seemed to leave a young man with no chance at avoiding violence.
Also Roya was moving this episode so she was recording in an empty room, hence the difference in audio.

Ep 172: Edward Spork-Hands - The Sutton Family Alien Invasion
Let us sell you a movie idea. It’s the 1950s, rural Kentucky, a hootenanny is happening when aliens attack. Well, good news, you don’t have to wait for the summer blockbuster, Casey is here to tell you all about the Sutton Family and how they fought off (?) an alien invasion (?) on their farm. Look up the pictures or the social media posts. You won’t regret it.

Ep 171: Good For Her - The Descent of Inanna
Ever been interested in ancient Sumerian poetry? No? Well, this might not be the episode for you then. In this episode, Roya talks about a Sumerian myth, the Descent of Inanna. Who is Inanna? You might know her as Ishtar. Where is she descending from? The Great Above. Where is she descending to? The Great Below.

Ep 170: One of God's Mistakes - The Beast of Bray Road
Who, or what, is eating all the roadkill in Wisconsin? Is it vultures or other carrion birds? Nah, it’s almost certainly a werewolf, dog man from hell and/or space. Leaving us with a lot of room to speculate and make wild connections between gray clouds being the product of aliens because aliens are also gray, Casey tells us about The Beast of Bray Road, an urban legend from Wisconsin. Or is it?

Did you ever wonder how the potato became so big in Europe? No? Well, too bad, you’re gonna learn today. Roya takes the pod on a trip to yester-century as we talk about how the potato got to Europe, how it got so big in Germany and the king who was better at image rehab than any PR person in 2023, Frederick the Great.

Ep 168 - Gobsmacked - Nottingham Goose Fair of 1766
From goose shoes to cheese mayhem to cock on a stick, this episode has a little something for everyone. History! Water Fowl! Looney Tunes Antics! Dairy Products! Socialism! What more could you want? Casey takes us on a trip to 1766 with some history of things leading up an incredible cheese riot. Are there cheese thrown like frisbees? Listen to find out!

Ep 167 - Most Homo-Cides - Cari Farver
The case that’s taken TikTok by storm, Roya covers the twists and turns of the love… line(?) between Dave Kroupa, Cari Farver and Liz Golyar. Some sus antics, a finger print on a mint tin and a solid tech based bust with some actual good detective work for once!

Ep 166 - If You Told Me Nandor Said That… - Persian Royal Weirdness
Do you want to listen to a podcast episode where Roya learns about her Persian history from an unexpected source, Casey! She’s on nightshift again folks which means she’s feral! But it’s just starting so she’s at least coherent still. Does she describe a historical king as ‘very slay’ yes. Yes she does.

Ep 165 - About an Hour of Science - The Voynich Manuscript
Finally, Roya has a chance to explore about an hour of science as we talk about the Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious book that no one knows anything about. Parts don’t make sense. Is it aliens? A medieval fraud? The first copy of Cosmo? We don’t really know, but it certainly interested Roya.

Ep 164: You Remembered that Possible Murder Wee-Woo? - Tarrare
Wow, this one is a wild one. It might make you queasy, it might make you feel bad for the person, it will definitely leave you confused by the end of it. Today, Casey talks about Tarrare, who is quite a tragic character of French history that is often not talked about… Maybe for good reason…

Ep 163 - Testifications - Lucy Letby
It wouldn’t be an episode if Roya didn’t do an impression of a Sour Patch Kid, but instead, first it’s funny then it’s sad. Another super recent case, this one about a serial infant killer, but is there more than meets the eye here? Get your tinfoil hat out, but only the small size because we’re not talking about aliens or anything (this time).
Also *update* in the case, she was found guilty and sentenced to a full life sentence.

What are your thoughts on reincarnation? Well, today, Roya’s going to talk about one of the cases that is touted as having the most potential to be a true case of it. The Pollock Twins have a lot in common with their sisters. Maybe too much to be a coincidence.

Have you ever wondered what happened when you took a failed football playing college drop out and a crematory named Coastal (that is not on a coast btw)? The answer will probably not surprise you, because nothing good happens. Casey takes us on a wild roller coaster of a case that was voted on by Patreon.

Please listen to this episode fully before you look up anything about this so you can enjoy the roller coaster Roya takes Casey on. This week, Roya is covering the disappearance of Rudy Farias in 2015 and how the case suddenly got a huge break just a few weeks ago from the date of this airing. Please enjoy the information, updates and shock of Casey as we look into this case and explore some potential bombshells and some current theories.

Probably not going to hell this week… Maybe only a little… We talk about our comrades of the sea and their endeavors to sink the rich. Casey tells us interesting facts about orcas, what they are, what they’ve been doing and potential explanations as to why they’re being such curious little guys when it comes to ships. We go back in history some to another very cantankerous whale.

Are we going to hell? Probably. Do we worry about it here? No. This is a safe space. It’s not our fault that the very expensive tickets were only one way and no one told the billionaires. Roya talks about OceanGate and their submersible, Titan, which captured her attention the whole time it was gone.

Finally, Casey can dump this case out of her brain and think about someone else other than Lori Vallow and demon Ned Schneider. The satisfying conclusion we were all hoping for (as long as it stays that way). Sponsored by Coca-Cola and Satan himself.

We’re closing in on the finish line of this case. The grim light at the end of the crazy murder tunnel. But! We’re not quite there yet. We have at least one more episode of Casey’s manic deep dive into Lori Vallow’s trial where she can finally be freed from this case and dump out half of her brain to make room for new information.

We got jokes this episode guys, from wondering what makes a special agent so special to animals and demons with people names, we cover some bizarre topics not unlike this case in general. The story is starting to unfold in all its dark and gruesome details. We will be continuing on with the coverage of the case from here for at least 1 (maybe 2) more episodes.

So, Roya didn’t realize how much effort editing was going to be so if it’s a little rough. Her bad. This episode starts up Casey’s in depth wrap up of Lori Vallow’s case and all the new evidence and information brought to light in the case.

Ep 152: Shark Coochie-gate 2023 - Movie Crimes
It was surprisingly hard to figure out how to search for ‘movie crimes’ without getting results like Zodiac or My Friend Dahmer, but it was finally managed! Roya collects some short stories of various crimes that happened on or around movies as well as one very troubled film production. Was it just egos? An aboriginal curse? Billy Zane? Celine Dion? That necklace from Titanic maybe? You be the judge. Also the long awaited return of new elevator music!

Ep 151: Zak, What's His Face and The Other One - Haunted Buildings
Do you have the shine? Maybe a friendly chef could tell you if you do or not as you join Roya and Casey in exploring the haunted Stanley Hotel, the inspiration behind The Shining. Haunting celebrities for years, almost every room is said to have something spooktacular happening in it. From the limestone and quartz caves below all the way to the attic.

Ep 150: The Crypto-Bro Pipeline - “Haunted” Buildings
Maybe it’s ghosts, maybe it’s Maybelline. Welcome back back back again and thank you all so much for your patience. This episode is all about Castle Frankenstein and whether Mary Shelley was inspired by a castle she went to or maybe Ben FRANKlin. Get it? Franklin, Frankenstein. We think there could be something there. Also Casey is very critical of both Roya and Ghost Hunters International.

Ep 149: You're a Well-Seasoned White Person - Food Crimes
Of course Roya had to twist the topic in a way because that’s just who she is as a person. So in this episode instead of talking about a food related crime, she covers a crime against food. Did you ever wonder why MSG is so scary to Boomers? Should you feel comfortable adding it to your popcorn? Some of your questions will be answered!

We're going to make you listen to the episode to find out the nickname of this serial fraudster, Carlos Rafael. He had a foul mouth, an American dream and a very loose understanding of math when it came to fish. The guy just won't stop talking about his machinations either. Idiot.

Ep 147: She was Married and Divorced *wink wink* - Good For Her Crimes
This episode, Roya continued the Rome theme while talking about a couple of crimes that'll have you saying 'good for her' like you're Lucille Bluth. First, we start off with Giulana Tofana, the poisoner who freed up to 600 women from their prison of being a wife in 1600s Rome and follows up on a short story of revenge from India in the 2000s. Like Delilah Bon says, Dead Men Don't Rape.

Ep 146 - He's Just a Lil Gaius! - Julius Cesar (life and death, abridged)

Ep 144 - I'll Take the Compliment Avocado Toast - Forensic Files Reports
We asked, our patreon answered, even though they didn’t know what we were asking for. We love a ride or die relationship. We decided to ask for random numbers that would be connected through an incredibly complex formula to find a season and episode of Forensic Files to cover. Our take on a book report.

Ep 143 - That Goblin Standard - Rodney Alcala
This episode Roya covers Rodney Alcala, The Dating Game (show) Killer. In the episode we talk about Jenna Marbles, how hard it is to quantify grossness, and why Roman Polanski should never be allowed to win an award in the US along with the actual case details. It’s all… kind of relevant, we promise.

Ep 142 - Japan was in it's Villain Era - The Lee Family
Starting off our crimes of the large and small screen episodes, Casey covers the Lee Family (curse? maybe). Unfortunate and untimely deaths? Definitely. The similarities are endless, uncanny and uncomfy as she talks about the death of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee and draws parallels between their very early deaths. A bonus episode coming to Patreon where we speculate wildly on possible causes (conspiracy theories) on the deaths.
