2025/12/31

A quiet holiday night, a clink of ice in a glass, and then a hard turn into two cases that still haunt the true crime canon. We start with the 1929 Lawson family murders, a Christmas story no one wants but everyone struggles to understand. Charles Lawson dressed his family in new clothes for a portrait, sent his oldest son to town on Christmas morning, and then killed his wife and children before taking his own life. What explains the unthinkable: a head injury, a suspected pregnancy involvin...

EPISODE 61: THE LAWSON FAMILY

2025/12/25

A raisin-topped Christmas cake, a formal family photo, and a North Carolina farmhouse in 1929—this story sounds like fiction until the facts line up. We start warm and human with holiday traditions, grandkid adventures, and the kind of music memories that glue families together. Then we trace the Lawson family case step by step, from sharecropping roots and a puzzling December shopping spree to the devastating sequence on Christmas Day and the ritual staging that followed. It’s a tough listen...

DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING SARAH HALEY FOXWELL RECAP

2025/12/24

A peppermint coffee in hand and a heavy story on our minds, we sit down to revisit the kidnapping and murder of 11-year-old Sarah Haley Foxwell and the decisions that failed her. This raw, unedited recap cuts through the noise to look at how a repeat sex offender moved through the system, why “good behavior” behind bars can be a dangerous metric, and what it takes for a grieving family to turn loss into lasting change. We unpack the case through Jen’s perspective—Sarah’s mother—whose intervi...

EPIDODE 60: Sarah Haley Foxwell

2025/12/19

A cozy holiday hang—warming up vocals, trading birthday plans, laughing about sweaters—becomes a stark lesson in vigilance when we turn to the kidnapping and murder of 11-year-old Sarah Haley Foxwell. That tonal whiplash is intentional: joy is what we’re protecting, and Sarah’s story shows how quickly comfort can fracture when a predator knows the spare key and the routines inside a home. We trace the human threads first. Jen’s earlier loss of an infant, the pressure to “move on,” the strain...

EPISODE 59: Kendrick Lamar Johnson

2025/12/12

A Christmas singalong turns into a hard pivot, and for good reason: we’re stepping into one of the South’s most contested cases, the death of Kendrick Johnson, a 17-year-old athlete found upside down in a rolled gym mat at Lowndes County High School. The official story says accident. The details refuse to cooperate. We walk through the timeline with clear eyes—how the mats were stored, where the shoes actually lay, the students who came into the gym minutes later, and the six-hour delay befor...

2025/12/03

A Hollywood mystery collides with holiday chaos and neon-soaked nostalgia. We start by unpacking the Natalie Wood story from the ground up: a child star shaped by a mother’s ambition, a career that paid the family’s bills, and a haunting “dark water” warning that framed her fears. Then the weekend that won’t let go—Catalina Island, a yacht called the Splendor, broken glass, smashed bottles, delayed calls, and a body found at dawn. We walk the timeline with fresh eyes, weigh competing accounts...

EPISODE 58: Natalie Wood

2025/11/28

A holiday toast turns into a hard look at a Hollywood legend whose final night still churns like rough water. We start with Black Friday energy and fresh mojitos, then trace Natalie Wood’s path from Miracle on 34th Street to West Side Story, a childhood built by a mother’s ambition, and an industry that too often rewarded silence. The bright arc of her career meets the shadows of Old Hollywood—alleged predation, whispered cover-ups, and the way power can bend the truth until it breaks. We wa...

DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING: FALL RIVER CULT RECAP

Drink about something ·

2025/11/26

A town can break twice: first when its jobs vanish, then when its story gets rewritten by fear. We walked through Fall River—slept in Lizzie Borden’s room, ate with locals, and then pressed into Bedford Street’s harsh past—to examine how a “satanic cult” rose from recession, predation, and performance. The headlines point to demons. The record points to control. We lay out the players: Carl Drew, a runaway who learned power the hard way; Robin Murphy, young and feared, intent on ruling her s...

EPISODE 57: FALL RIVER CULT

2025/11/21

A hard seltzer on a cold balcony turned into a journey through one of New England’s darkest chapters. We pull back the curtain on Fall River at the end of the 1970s—where a shrinking economy, a booming sex trade, biker swagger, and occult theatrics collided. At the center: Carl Drew, a violent enforcer who ruled Bedford Street; Andy Maltese, an older predator who claimed Jesus and psychic visions when cornered; and Robin Murphy, a 17-year-old who refused a pimp, commanded fear, and bent Satan...

DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING: EMILY PIKE RECAP

Drink about something ·

2025/11/19

A 14-year-old’s name should not depend on a leaked memo to be seen. We sit down after a long day and open up about the case of Emily Pike—how a child in a group home disappeared, was later found murdered, and still no arrests have been made. We unpack why this story matters, how it connects to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Persons (MMIW/MMIP), and what it says about systems that fail the most vulnerable. We bring in reflections from our conversation with Native drummer and singer...

2025/11/14

A surprise reunion at the table quickly turns into one of our heaviest episodes: the life and loss of 14-year-old San Carlos Apache girl Emily Pike and the systems that failed her. We walk through the timeline with care—from unprosecuted assaults and a distant group home to repeated runaways labeled as routine, the denial of an Amber Alert, delayed notifications, and the devastating discovery near Globe, Arizona. This isn’t about sensationalism. It’s about clarity, accountability, and what mu...

DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING: THE WARRENS RECAP

2025/11/12

What if the scariest part of your favorite haunted tales isn’t the demon at the door, but the people who profit from your fear? We tear into the Warrens’ most famous cases and the broader ecosystem that turned moral panic into a business model—linking Amityville’s admitted hoax, Annabelle’s elastic mythology, and the Conjuring franchise’s “true story” aura to very human motives: money, status, and control. We walk through a repeating pattern across the Warrens’ headline cases—financial strai...

2025/11/07

Ever notice how the most famous hauntings get louder the moment a camera shows up? We grab a cold seltzer, shake off a brutal post‑Halloween fog, and trace three headline‑making cases—Enfield, the Smurls, and the Snedekers—while testing each story against timing, incentives, and the thin line between fear and folklore. It’s part road trip through late‑70s and 80s paranormal culture, part reality check on what happens when grief, adolescence, and a house with bad wiring collide with a media ma...

2025/10/31

October doesn’t just smell like cinnamon and pumpkin at our place—it crackles with stories we were told to fear. We kick off with a joy-soaked Halloween ritual: 66 quarts of candy, shots for stressed parents, porch tacos, and a quick-hit recap of Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando. The fun isn’t filler; it’s how we rebuilt our relationship with fear after growing up with rapture timelines, church “haunts,” and the all-seeing eye of satanic panic. Horror, for us, became a safe exposure therapy...

Perfect Neighbor, Perfect Nightmare RECAP

2025/10/30

A quiet Ocala duplex block with kids playing in the yard should feel safe. Instead, it became the backdrop for months of hostile 911 calls, a neighborhood on edge, and a fatal shot fired through a closed door. We walk you through The Perfect Neighbor—built from body cam footage, interview tapes, and security videos—and trace how a petty patch of grass, a seized tablet, and constant harassment turned into a tragedy that shattered a family and rallied a community. We talk about the pattern fir...

Drink about something ·

2025/10/29

A haunted waterbed, a family in over their heads, and a courtroom where the devil wasn’t allowed to testify. We pull apart the real story behind The Conjuring 3’s “Devil Made Me Do It” and ask the hard questions the legend prefers to skip. Did a possession jump from a teenage boy to his sister’s boyfriend, or did stress, alcohol, and tangled relationships set the stage for a fatal mistake? We trace the timeline from the Bridgeport–Newtown move and the first “be well” shove to improvised deliv...

2025/10/24

We trace the Glatzel and Johnson families from the first day of oddities to the arrival of Ed and Lorraine Warren, “light” exorcisms, and a promise that the beast would claim another soul. When Debbie starts fresh at a kennel owned by Alan Bono, pressure builds: a boozy lunch, doors blocked, music hammering, and a sudden fight that leaves Bono fatally stabbed. In the aftermath, Arnie Cheyenne Johnson denies memory of the attack and his lawyer pushes the headline defense: “The devil made me do...

DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING AMITYVILLE RECAP

2025/10/22

A brutal family murder, a discounted dream home, and a legend that swallowed a neighborhood—Amityville is as much a story about us as it is about a house. We walk through the facts of the DeFeo killings, then slow down to examine how a decade of grief turned into a global ghost franchise. The details that matter—addiction, violence, a rushed confession, and shifting insanity claims—sit next to the details that sell: cold rooms that no fire could fix, swarms of flies, a red‑eyed “friend” named...

2025/10/17

The most infamous Dutch Colonial in America didn’t start as a horror franchise—it began with six bodies found face down in their beds. We pull back the curtain on 112 Ocean Avenue to separate what’s on the record from what was engineered for the spotlight. We walk through the 1974 DeFeo murders, Butch’s shifting stories, the courtroom battle over insanity and “demonic influence,” and the sober verdict that anchored the case. Then we follow the paper trail a year later, when George and Kathy L...

OUR EAST COAST TRIP RECAP

Drink about something ·

2025/10/16

The map said nine days; our hearts turned it into a highlight reel. We roll out at dusk, chase the Exorcist Steps before sunrise, get humbled by DC parking, and reset our nerves at Ford’s Theatre. A tunnel panic in Baltimore tries to hijack the ride, but we breathe through it and learn a trick we’ll use all week: pair fear with a bigger view. Philly greets us with a concierge win, a middling cheesesteak, and the Rocky Steps that feel exactly like you hope they will. At Black Tom Island we fra...
