Just a few hours later, the two would be seen reclining on a railroad track mere seconds before they were mangled by a locomotive traveling 50mph. Although the deaths were originally deemed an accident brought on by overindulgence in herbal refreshments, that determination didn’t square with everyone. Family of the victims smelled skunk, and it definitely wasn’t weed.

25 OCT 2023 · In April of 1983, Charles Dingle took himself out to Queens to paint the town red. He was a dissatisfied nobody from Brooklyn with a pathological inability to read a room; he had 99 problems, and that was just two of them.

Join J & JR as Khadijah fills in the details in the paradoxically famous, though little known case of Charles Dingle and his night on the town.

Under the fascist stylings of Mussolini, the nation teeters on the brink of war. Leonarda Cianciulli is a humble widow determined to keep her children safe from the horrors of conflict, inflation, bad luck, indigestion and a million other enemies - small and large - anything which threatens to harm her loin’s most magnificent discharges. Cianciulli has devised a divine plan to cleanse the evil from her midst. Using (dark) arts and crafts, lye, distilled water, an ax, an unhealthy dollop of OCD, and a belief system doing some massive heavy lifting, Cianciulli has almost everything she needs. She's missing one ingredient, but it's nothing she can’t borrow from her neighbors. Join us by the fire for potent drinks filled with tiny umbrellas and a cannabis combo platter that will keep you tripping over your own tongue, as JR comes clean with the crew about Leonarda Cianciulli, the Soap Maker of Correggio - or Bubbles, if you’re nasty. *No tea cakes were involved in the making of this episode.

18 AUG 2023 · MANIAC Adolph James (“Jimmy”) Rode was a walking nightmare - a Florida creeper who prowled through homes as people slept, blissfully unaware that a predator was within striking distance.

His brutal crimes were allowed to go cold. After a brief stint behind bars for unrelated felonies, Rode recreated himself, relocated to the Pacific Northwest and assumed a new identity. He became a new man: Cesar Barone. Too bad he had the same old habits.

27 NOV 2022 · When Rose Letts met Fred West in a quiet corner of England in 1969, it was as if gasoline met fire. They had more than a little in common, and those fascinations would fuse them - heart and soul; too bad neither of them had either. The almost preternaturally ordinary appearance of this cold-blooded couple was as deviously deceptive to rosy-cheeked young ladies as the gossamer tendrils of a web to a butterfly. This combustible pair, fueled by generations of perverse desires, preyed upon the innocent and trusting. Their kink was pain and debauchery on a scale that shocked the world when their savage fetish was revealed. Join the crew by the fire for cannabis and cocktails as Khadijah tells us this terrible but true tale of a couple who took the phrase “family oriented” to bizarre and horrific extremes.
