Halloween episode number two in our spooky series for the month of October takes us back to 1927 — to one of the most chilling true crime cases in Los Angeles history: the kidnapping and murder of twelve-year-old Marion Parker. This shocking case gripped the nation with its twisted ransom plot and gruesome aftermath. Listener discretion is strongly advised, as this episode includes graphic descriptions of violence and autopsies.
But don’t worry — we bring the mood back up at the end with some classic Funny Pair humor! Stick around to hear about our newest obsession with the Hamburger Song and the mysterious new playlist that might be heading your way. Tune in for a haunting mix of true crime chills and our signature laughs in this spooky edition of Funny Pair!

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
