Deliver Us Some Evil

In this episode of Fifty States of Murder, Eli and Mel bring you to Ogden, Utah, a sleepy little town where nothing interesting happens... unless you count the infamous robbery at the local Hi-Fi electronics store that ended in -- you guessed it -- cold-blooded murder! Sure they claimed they didn't plan on killing anyone, except that these jerks blabbed about it all over the local Air Force base to every Tom, Dick, and Nancy th...

The Fifty States of Murder hits a high note as Eli and Mel take you on a guided tour of one of Ohio's most notorious murderers: the Cleveland Strangler! Anthony Sowell wasn't the sort of guy you brought home to mama unless mama also had a crack addiction. But he was always a gentleman when it came to the ladies, generously sharing his malt liquor and helping them out of second story windows. After a string of "dates&qu...

In this episode of Fifty States of Murder, Eli and Mel throw a dart at the wall and find themselves in the Blue wasteland that is New York State! And since they have to suffer, you have to suffer... So roll your spliff, pour a drink, and get comfortable as you endure the tale of a ginger rat-bastard teenager who got his get-back by going after an unsupervised child. Ironically the kid was everything Eric Smith wasn't: cute, wel...

The Fifty States of Murder is finally here! Eli kicks off our inaugural episode by making Mel guess the state by way of trivia questions so easy she embarrasses herself by getting them all wrong. (You can see the aurora borealis in Colorado, right??) Then we take a deep dive into a string of murders committed by a man who was either a giant or a midget, a native or a settler, or maybe it was a whole gang, and while we're at it,...

Eli and Mel welcome author Paul Lonardo to the show for a first-of-its-kind guest appearance! Paul has published everything from horror to romance, biography to true crime, spec-fic to sports history, horror haikus to a children's book about a goblin baseball player! Eli and Mel pick his brain clean, getting the inside scoop on his lifelong love of the horror genre, how he collaborates with normal people (you know, non-writers)...

Eli and Mel wrap up another blockbuster Black History Month by plumbing the depths of the social-media cesspool so you don't have to! What did we find? Black supremacist cults! Did you know that the United States is really Egypt? Or that Quikrete has been used to literally cover up the truth? And how about that talking wall-mounted fish down in Memphis? Does anyone trust that guy? Learn all about the real history of America, th...

The D.U.S.E. tackles an unsolved mystery as we document the trail of bodies left behind by the Washington D.C. Freeway Phantom in a Black History Month whodunit from way back in 1971! We have no answers but plenty of questions, like what happened to the victims' shoes? Why weren't suspicious characters like step-fathers and boyfriends ever investigated? Which flavors of doughnuts kept the cops from doing their jobs? And why...

Those at the D.U.S.E. would like to make you feel loved this Valentine's Day but we all know that's impossible. So instead they've chosen to tickle your cockles and whatever else you want them to feel-up with this heart-warming story of a suave man with black hoodoo magic getting what he wants from any woman, and a woman that he wants nothing more than to get away from, but can't! That's right folks, this ain...

In our latest installment honoring Black History Month, Eli and Mel go where no DUSE has gone before as they examine the deranged antics of a man with the double whammy of a low IQ and an unusual hobby. It's Philly's very own corpse collector! He didn't paste them into scrapbooks or trade them on eBay, but liked to keep them around for nostalgia's sake, and who can blame him? Even if it's a collection of dead ho...

In this episode Eli and Mel reveal the long lost formula for the success of one of the internet's most prolific rap artists: commitment, enthusiasm, dedication... and crack!

What's better than witches? Ghost witches! Now throw in a poltergeist, a U.S. president, a war everyone has forgotten, a dog with a bunny head, an awful lot of things that go bump in the night, and a few fart jokes for good measure and you've got the story of the Bell Witch, a story just for you! Well, you and the thousands of people who camped out in the Bell family's front yard to witness the otherworldly weirdness fi...

Despite the happy-go-lucky title, this episode is not filled with good things. Eli and Mel tap into the subject of "Goth Chicks" by talking about Randy Stair, a man who knew he was a man but also knew that when he died he'd become a cartoon ghost goth chick paranormal investigator. What started as a fantasy became obsession became reality. Was the guy psychotic? Sure, but that didn't stop him from having goals and...

It's the end of an era as Eli and Mel close out the discussion of Jmmanuel's Talmud and finish the thrilling tale of the true history of Jmmanuel, the man also known as... Jesus Christ! And they do it in a way that really speaks to the yoot-- err, youth of tomorrow. So how far apart is the truth from the "truth" in the New Testament? Well to be honest, it's a little different but same same. Jmmanuel goes into Israel, causes a rumpu...

The D.U.S.E. invites you to join us as we bid a fond farewell to "The Amazing Chris-Chan" series as it waddles its bumble butt off a cliff with all the other dumb lemmings.

As for Chris-Chan, will his saga ever really end? The immortal Christ figure has been tasked with joini...

In this episode of "J'mmanuel's Talmud" Eli and Mel cut the fat out of this hog to keep this Kosher narrative flowing! Sure they could tell you about all the times J'mmanuel slandered the Chosen People and then said something profound, but who has time for parables? Instead we dig deep into the story of J'mmanuel as he travels to Judea, the land of money changers, whales, pharisees, Birkenstocks, and people who can't seem to get in...

Ho ho ho! And we don't just mean your mom! Have a Merry Christmas and whatever other made-up holiday you chose to be annoying about. In this not so jolly Christmas special, Eli does his best to scramble your egg nog by telling you all about the copious amounts of blood libel, infanticide, child abuse, cannibalism, zombies, necromancy, animated scare-crows, half goat demons, cultural subversion, black face, racism, and murder that l...

Armor up viewers, grab your axes, your swords, and your holy collection of limited edition signed Sonichu Comics, and let's raid the holy land! Or whatever Chris-Chan thinks is the holy land, which might be everyone else's version of hell. In this episode our boy Chris-Chan finally gets the boyfriend-free girl he's always wanted! Well, sort of. Turns out she was a professional, and that means she'll be your honey if you got the mon...
