Episode 36: Is That a Mermaiby or Just Another Fyre Festival Scam?

Send us a text

A macabre mermaid has washed ashore on a UK beach, leaving locals utterly baffled. The skeleton-like creature with fins prompted one witness to declare, "No one's going to believe what we saw" – and they weren't wrong. We dive into this mysterious discovery that drew crowds of bewildered beachgoers who couldn't determine whether they'd found a dead seal, driftwood, or something far more sinister from the depths.

From ocean mysteries to Hollywood demons, we unpack the upcoming documentary series that will feature Stephen Collins, who played "America's Dad" on the family-friendly show "7th Heaven" for eleven seasons before admitting to inappropriate conduct with minors. Former cast members Jeremy London and Kyle Searles will react in real-time to Collins' confession tapes – a bizarre and troubling format that raises questions about how we process celebrity scandals and why certain figures continue receiving platforms despite admitted crimes.

Meanwhile, TikTok has made the curious decision to ban its "chubby filter" while allowing countless other appearance-altering effects to remain. We question why this specific filter crossed the line when so many others that dramatically transform faces and bodies are deemed acceptable. Is the objection truly about body positivity, or does it reveal deeper societal discomfort specifically with weight-related imagery?

The saga of Fyre Festival continues as founder Billy McFarland attempts to launch "Fyre Festival 2" despite serving four years in prison for fraud related to the original disaster. With tickets ranging from $1,500 to $25,000, only one act announced, and Mexican officials confirming no permits have been requested, all signs point to another potential scam. As the saying goes: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice... you can't get fooled again.

Episode 123: Return of the Graveyard Gimps

Tonight’s nightmares: in the UK, gimps in rubber suits are crawling out of the shadows of parks and graveyards, because apparently Jason Voorhees needed kinkier competition.
