  • 188. Bonnie and Clyde: Part 1
    Feb 11 2026

    Get in, loser, we're going to rob some banks.

    This is the story of American outlaws Bonnie and Clyde. Come for the ghosts, stay for the Disney vault, some kind of brick incident, the turkeys aren't talking, that's why I put a hole in the box, now it's crime time, vacation nun, and the Golden Girls Gang.

  • 187. Tuckahoe Plantation
    Feb 4 2026

    All right, listen. Everything's cool, okay, and if this is your first episode, PLEASE, GOD, CHOOSE ANOTHER, LITERALLY ANY OTHER EPISODE FIRST.

    This is the semi-prepared story of the Tuckahoe Plantation. Come for the ghosts, stay for the Scarface special, the pretzel part, I don't know which penis, human baby stag, clones in the spiritual sense, baby Thomas senior, and jump jiving and wailing.

  • 186. John Dee and the Devil's Hoofprint
    Jan 28 2026

    One of these days we'll get back to telling ghost stories, but real quick, can we tell you this absolutely bonkers true story of a weird virgin who summoned the devil?

    This is the story of John Dee. Come for the devil's hoofprint, stay for a professional ghost, a good male midlife crisis, this horoscope can't be right, cyclops cowboy, 12,000,000 degrees Celsius, book smart not street smart, and the devil changing a lightbulb.

    Thanks to listener Caroline Jones for the research!
