Episode 326: Taylor Swift: The Crimes, Claims, and Controversies - Part 2

For centuries, this region was home to bright lights in the sky and treacherous monsters on the land and water. Soon, it became clear - nearly all of the out-of-this-world events centered around one family’s homestead. Once word spread, journalists, scientists, researchers, and billionaires descended on the place, hoping to capture hard evidence. Is what they found proof of visitors from another world or just the basis for a great story?

One man set out for Colorado, looking for the healing power of the mountains where built himself a grand empire. A half a century later, with the enormous structure crumbling, an author on a mission happened upon the place and introduced it to his readers as one of the most haunted hotels in the country. Were the ghosts always there, waiting to show themselves to a willing visitor, or is this another one of the legendary writer’s creative tales? This week's episode is The Stanley Hotel.

We were so fortunate to sit down with Ben and Ronnie from the Bravo-tastic podcast Watch What Crappens! After we covered the crimes of Jen Shah, we wanted to get the insights of some Real Housewives experts - and nobody knows Bravo better than Ben & Ronnie. We also talk about who our favorite housewives are, updates on the Housewife and the Hustler Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi, and all our hot takes on Jen Shah's alleged crimes. You can also check us out on their feed in a bonus episode where we discuss Teddi Mellencamp's MLM scheme and the various lawsuits of PK and Dorit on the Real Housewives of Beverley Hills. Be sure to check out their show - Watch What Crappens - wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks again to Ben and Ronnie for joining us, and we hope you all enjoy our conversation.

In Season 1 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Jen Shah introduced herself to us as being “queen bee” and MVP, but by Season 2 of RHOSLC, the MVP was staring down a possible 30 years in the federal penitentiary. Though the only guilt she admits to is being "Shah-Mazing" the jury may hand down a much harsher conviction.  Related:  The Housewife and the Shah Shocker on Hulu: Dive into the bombshell accusations against “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast member Jen Shah and her alleged involvement in a long-running telemarketing scheme.

High upon a hill lived an older woman whose power and influence terrified those around her. Anyone who dared cross her would find themselves burdened with bad fortune. Was she truly an all-powerful witch, or were the townspeople merely reaping what they sowed?

This is a special bonus episode we're releasing at the request of our Patreon subscribers. We normally do "true crime headlines" as part of our weekly bonus content, but when we covered the new Texas abortion ban SB8, our Patreons asked if we could make it public so they could share. Seeing as we live in Texas, we have received a lot of questions lately about SB8. In this segment, we discuss the legal and constitutional questions and violations pertaining to the ban. Of course, our own opinions are thrown in as well. If you're interested, please listen. If this isn't for you, that's ok, too.  We hope this provides a quick overview for you on what the law means, its constitutionality, and where the law is headed going forward as it impacts all people seeking access to reproductive care. We recorded this a few weeks ago when the law first went into effect. Since then, there have been some news updates, movement in litigation challenging SB8, and clarifications in the analysis of the law including who it does and does not apply to. So as we say in the segment, be sure to keep up with the updates on this law as it impacts you and those you love. You can also visit the episode link for updates that have happened since we recorded. All our love, from TX

At the height of the video game craze in the early 80s, this arcade machine was said to take from its players a lot more than quarters. Kids who spent time in front of its screen allegedly suffered headaches, nightmares, amnesia, or worse. Soon men in black suits whisked the cabinets away, leaving behind nothing but a legend. Was this a case of the government using mass media to control the minds of the youth, or can this story be rated M for myth?
