Episode 67: Sweep the Leg, Taylor Swift!

Send us a text

Death, fame, and terrible decisions take center stage in this whirlwind episode. We kick things off with the bizarre discovery of human remains near Taylor Swift's Rhode Island mansion. A leg washing up in the ritzy neighborhood of Westerly adds another mysterious body to Rhode Island's growing collection, though authorities insist there's no connection to Swift or evidence of foul play. Meanwhile, the pop star faces unwanted involvement in the Blake Lively-Justin Baldini drama while trying to focus on her tour and relationship with Travis Kelce.

The conversation takes a disturbing turn as we examine what might be the worst case of parenting we've encountered that doesn't involve direct harm. Ashley Pardo, a 33-year-old Texas mother with face tattoos, was arrested for purchasing military gear, weapons, and ammunition to support her middle school-aged son's aspirations of becoming a "famous mass shooter." The grandmother discovered the boy hitting bullets with hammers and found an improvised explosive device in his room, highlighting how the pursuit of notoriety can warp even parental judgment.

On a lighter but still bizarre note, we explore the renaissance of toupees among younger men. With modern adhesive technology and more realistic appearances, "tiny toupees" are offering balding men an alternative to expensive hair transplants. But the question remains: when dating, is a toupee something you need to disclose upfront?

The episode takes a somber turn with two tragic stories about internet fame's dark side. A 23-year-old Mexican influencer was murdered on livestream in her beauty salon, while a veterinarian took his own life after facing intense online backlash for kicking a horse in a viral video. These stories serve as powerful reminders that behind every screen and social media account is a real person deserving of basic human dignity, regardless of their mistakes.

Friday’s episode covers a little bit of everything: first, we get updates on D4VD-- and realize Kyle actually does know one of his songs — thanks to endless TikTok memes.

Finally, we discuss the man arrested for making what he claimed were rage-bait videos, which turned out to be plain old hate crimes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
