This week takes us up to the Big Apple, specifically The Bronx in the 1930s, when prohibition was in full swing and everyone had the greatest of depressions. Meredith brings us another Curious Case. This particular case being of  Irishman Michael Malloy who just would not die no matter how much wood alcohol or shrapnel sandwiches he consumed. I...

Folks, I'll be honest it's been struggling to write a description for this episode. It's past my bedtime and I forgot how far off the rails this episode gets.

When I say off the rails, I mean really off the rails. Kind of like how Tommy Lee Jones was able to divert a lava flow in downtown LA using city busses in the 1997 movie Volcano. Unfortunately there was no Busses available when Mt. Saint Helen erupted in 1980. T...

We don't come empty handed either, along with Emma's stories we also bring beer! An essential for any good time around a ca...

To be honest, I'm not even sure how to describe this episode. It's a little wild and very weird. But it is what it is. In short, this week Meredith is bringing us to the zoo while traumatizing us on how the cocktail 'The Monkey Gland' got its name its just nuts. Literally AND metaphorically.  We learned it, so you do too.

It's 11 o'clock on Thursday night and this episode comes out in one hour, maybe someday we'll have the episodes edited before the deadline. But today is not that day. What a bad choice.

Bad choices are the theme of today's episode, Meredith makes us relive the horror of having to deal with sand getting everywhere with the drink for the week, Sex On The Beach. Though it may seem fun, remember that sand gets everyw...

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream. 

But this isn't a dream that you necessarily want to be apart of, because it is reality and it is terrifying. 

This week Emma brings us a CreepyPasta, now known as scary spaghetti, entitled BedTime. If you ever had sleep paralysis this is right up your alley. Not only does Emma bring us a spooky, creepy story, but she also gives us one very lovely nightcap. Made with things that are meant to put...

Oh boy do we have a treat for you this week. 

It's not just one or two stories this time. This week Meredith brings us three separate stories that you can say were based off of the paranormal, or maybe just calling it a hunch would be more accurate. But we dive into three different cases where ghosts helped bring their murders to justice. 

While we listen to the tales of these ladies reach out from beyond the grave, we get to si...

We have to set a new low bar for humanity this week, and we still expect people to trip over it.
