Laugh at Chris and Paula
A husband and wife talk about family and pop culture. What’s the meaning of “family”? How do you even spell it? Is it wrong we watch more cartoons than our kids? Why do we put out feeders for birds but not squirrels (not even Flying Squirrels?) Do we watch mobster movies just for the murders? Do people really need a rhyme to remember how many days are in a month? Is Whomping Willow in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter? Oh, and why did our ceiling collapse? Plus, Life Hacks, Southern Paula, Pappy the C-PAP Machine, Top 10 Lists, Painful Memories, Future News & More.

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
