Good Company in the Car: The Bigfoot and Murder and Everything Else Podcast

After the heartbreak of suddenly losing their dog , Jack and Kevin took a Celebrity Reflection cruise to distract themselves from their sadness. The episode covers a frantic drive to the port, a harrowing last‑minute boarding, off-putting martini‑bar hangouts, inevitable casino losses, and a pretty good magician. They stop in Freeport Bahamas instead of Cocoa Cay due to storm damage to the pier (Freeport is not a tourist destination) and explore Nassau’s colorful architecture, the pink courthouse, and the historic Balcony House.

There's just no shortage! After a steady diet of murder we needed the podcast equivalent of pickled ginger last week and now we're already for the next case. Bring on the stupidity Ken Fitzhugh!

The hosts trade stories about signing up for scuba lessons, exploring the Florida reef, beach metal-detecting, and quirky moments like naming a local shark “Bruce.” They also share everyday life updates—assembling patio furniture, a gardening mobility cart, canceled golf plans, and half-price mahi dinners. The episode focuses heavily on sleep apnea and CPAP experiences: the awkward at-home sleep study, insurance hassles, struggles to stay awake for testing, and how better sleep transformed their mornings. They close with plans to resume regular research-driven crime episodes in the new year.

On the night of August 21, 1955, the Sutton and Taylor families in rural Kentucky reported being besieged for hours by small, strange humanoid figures with glowing eyes. Their vivid accounts, gunfire on the property, and the rush of law enforcement turned the incident into one of the most famous and debated UFO encounters. Theories range from extraterrestrials and mass hysteria to misidentified wildlife such as great horned owls, but no conclusive explanation has been found, leaving the Kelly–Hopkinsville case a lasting mystery.

Hosts banter through a day of errands in South Florida — from a frustrating post office experience about tracking versus delivery confirmation to returning purchases, grocery runs and the realities of arthritis. They share funny observations about people at the gym, braces progress, holiday plans and kitchen finds. The episode also dives into outdoor life: a booming victory garden, surf fishing adventures catching palomitas, jacks and a bonefish while waiting for pompano, mole crabs for bait, and even baby manta rays in the surf, all wrapped up with seasonal well-wishes.

Fred and Stacey have consciously uncoupled (thanks Gwyneth) and are living together amicably while they sort out their finances. But an encounter with an online love interest ends in the death of three people! Real 911 audio...

Two friends riff about how technology has quietly taken over their lives — from convincing scam emails and scary AI videos to funny home robots like Betty (the leaf-sucking pool bot), Maurice (the pool vacuum), and Mr. Kim (the robot floor cleaner). They share stories about Alexa, iPhones, smart watches, robotic fish, movie theater etiquette, and how modern devices both help and drive them crazy, mixing humor with a touch of tech anxiety.

Jack Wilson was a beloved ophthalmologist in Huntsville, Alabama. A twisted tale of his wife and her twin conspiring to have him killed is laid bare by circumstantial evidence that just cannot be ignored. Is inheriting a $6 million estate the same thing as collecting a ton of life insurance? We think it is! We give you Betty Wilson!
