Drink about something

A prison escapee shows up in Tallahassee with a new name and a “fresh start,” and within days the violence returns with a speed that still feels unreal. We walk through Ted Bundy’s final Florida spree, including the Chi Omega attacks near Florida State University, the evidence left behind, and the fear that ripples through survivors, families, and an entire campus community. We also trace the timeline beyond Tallahassee, from the attempted abduction in Jacksonville to the kidnapping and murd...

A woman with a gun hitchhiking across Florida sounds like a myth until you follow the dates, the roads, and the bodies left behind. We tell the full story of Eileen Wuornos, from the brutal childhood that shaped her to the relationship and money pressure that set the stage for a fast, violent run through 1989 and 1990. Along the way, we talk about why Monster hit so hard, what the movie gets right, and what it smooths over to make the story easier to watch. We walk through each victim and th...

We hit record from one of the most infamous addresses in American true crime: the Lizzie Borden house in Fall River, Massachusetts. We’re on a New England road trip, we’re exhausted, and we’re literally sleeping in the Lizzie and Emma suite while telling the story of the 1892 axe murders that still spark arguments 130 years later. The house is tight, creaky, and weirdly calm, which somehow makes the details hit harder. We walk through the Borden family dynamics, Andrew Borden’s money a...

A throwaway joke at work that nobody understands can make you feel ancient, but nothing snaps the room into focus like a story where fame, paranoia, and violence collide. We’re Jesse and Lindsay, and we’re digging into the Oscar Pistorius case, from his rise as the celebrated “Blade Runner” to the night Reeva Steenkamp was shot behind a locked bathroom door in South Africa. The details are brutal, and the contradictions are hard to ignore, especially once you look at what was happening around...

A normal walk home. A well lit London street. CCTV everywhere. Then a man flashes a badge and says the words that are supposed to mean safety: “I’m a police officer.” Sarah Everard’s case hits like a punch because it’s not a mystery built on bad decisions, it’s a nightmare built on trust, compliance, and power. We walk through who Sarah was, what that March 2021 COVID lockdown felt like in the UK, and the minute by minute timeline that investigators pieced together through bus footage, dash ...

A man with a genius IQ. A trail of fraud that spans states. Multiple prison escapes that sound impossible until you realize he planned them like a full-time job. We’re drinking about Stephen J. Russell, the real-life con artist behind I Love You, Philip Morris, and we’re not just retelling the plot, we’re digging into what made it all happen. We talk through Russell’s early life, adoption fallout, and how abandonment issues and secrecy can shape a person’s choices for decades. From law enfor...

A mother, a wheelchair, a stack of diagnoses, and a whole community convinced they’re watching a miracle of survival. Then the news shows Gypsy Rose Blanchard standing up, and everything people “knew” collapses. We’re telling this story with care and honesty because it’s not just a viral headline, it’s a brutal example of medical child abuse and coercive control hiding in plain sight. We break down Munchausen by proxy (factitious disorder imposed on another) in plain language, then tra...

A friendly shuttle ride and a “buy us a drink” deal shouldn’t end in horror, but sometimes the danger shows up wearing a smile. We start with our usual kitchen-table banter and a round of “what made us feel old,” then we pivot into a killer couple story that left us furious, sick, and desperate for people to hear the warning signs. Pride Month is also front and center. We share resources for The Trevor Project and encourage donations, especially as funding gets cut for services that LGBTQ yo...
