  • Ep. 24 - Unknown Number: High School Catfish & Embarrassing Stories
    Sep 9 2025

    On this week's episode, we discussed the recently released Netflix documentary about the teen girl who was relentlessly bullied online for almost 2 years and it took the FBI to figure out who the culprit was - HER MOM!

    Although its a heavy story, you'll want to stick around to the end to listen to submitted, found, and personal embarrassing stores that keep things light hearted and serve as a reminder that we are all human.

  • Ep23 - Lightning Strike Survivors
    Aug 18 2025

    We're baaaack!

    After a little hiatus over the summer, we are back and talking about the survivors - lightning strike survivors. The inspiration came because Kelsey's grandfather, who is 93 years old, has been struck by lightning TWICE. Oh, and he has seen a UFO.

    We start things off by talking about the lightning hotspots in the US(Tampa Florida) and the #1 spot in the world(Venezuela). Then share some real life stories of people that have been hit by lightning and lived to tell the tale, although some are still suffering from chronic issues.

    Finally, we lay out a few of the ground rules of thunderstorm safety to keep you safe so you can tune into our next episode.

  • Ep. 22 - Radium Girls and The Greatest Beer Run of All Time
    Apr 21 2025

    "Trust me"......This can either be a phrase to gain collaboration or used by manipulative people and corporations to deceive.

    Unfortunately, those words proved fatal for dozens of people in New Jersey when they were hired to paint watch faces with radium, a highly toxic compound that made the face glow in the dark - although each was assured that it was 100% safe. Oh, and by the way, it was a requirement to use their lips to make the tips of the brushes pointy for greater precision. It didn't take long for the negative effects of radium poisoning to rear its ugly head. Women would stop menstruating, jaw were detaching and simple dental procedures would never heal. This wasn't the type of thing that took decades. Within 10 years over 50 people were dead, including the Radium Girls, who were crucial to ensuring someone was held accountable!

    That's not the only story in store though. Next we dive into the wild tale of Chickie Donohue, the retired marine who decided his buddies fighting in Vietnam deserved a beer. His story is one that you wouldn't believe if it wasn't documented.
