This week's episode opens with our usual chaotic banter, but be prepared for it to be a little extra unhinged. Dani is battling brutal allergies and is fully spiraling. She's in a very dark mental place, which means the jokes are coming fast and possibly a little too unfiltered. Just to be clear: the humor is a coping mechanism, not a lack of empathy. Once we get it together, we dive into one of the most disturbing cases we've covered: Las Poquianchis. This group of sisters operated a network of brothels in the mid-20th century Mexico that concealed a horrifying reality of exploitation, abuse, and murder. Dani and Gabe break down how the operation started, grew, continued for so long, and the devastating toll it had on the victims. From chaotic coping to a dark story.. listener discretion is advised.

We're back! We start this episode off with a quick acknowledgement that.. everything is a lot right now. Next, we do a quick life update and then dive into the bizarre and unsettling case of Erin Patterson, the mushroom murderer.

What begins as a seemingly wholesome lunch spirals into a true crime tale so wild it feels made up, but unfortunately is very real (like the reality we're living in!). Expect dark turns, questionable decisions, and the kind of side commentary that only happens when the world is on fire and you're coping with humor.
