This week’s podcast episode celebrates the start of Halloween season, with Becky and Merie diving into the Hook Man urban legend’s origin story, which may date back to the still-unsolved Texas-based Phantom Killer. Along the way, your hosts address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

Which mental institution do YOU want to tour for a college field trip? Is a pre-Facebook advice column responsible for putting an end to lovers’ lanes and its associated “necking?” Which “Dawson’s Creek” dreamboat is Becky’s boyfriend in this episode? (Hint: It’s not Dawson!) Is Thor responsible for brutally killing a couple of orderlies in a 1920’s Iowa farm town?

Come for Merie yelling the phrase, “YOU F**KING FLEE!” before Becky can even say the F word once. Stay to find out which recent Netflix movie is an unintentional horror show. Also: Did YOU pick the wrong night to pick on Stanley?!

This week’s podcast episode delves into Death by Cable Guy, featuring the lovely Texas grandma Betty Thomas murdered by Roy James Holden, Jr., who headed to WalMart with her credit cards and without changing from his murder clothes. Along the way, Becky & Merie address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

Can you cut the weight line out & cover the whirl? (Neither can Becky. Or Merie’s hairdresser.) What new TV show is so bad Becky is considering filing charges against its creators? How many of you want to hack us and find all the photos of…tooth abscesses and sleeping cats? Who amongst us deserves to be punched in the dick? Depends: Are YOU the guy running a site with illegally obtained porn? Is that a demon on Merie’s shoulder or are you just a wacko massage therapist “feeling” negative energy in her shoulder?

Come for Merie’s inability to have herself at “hello. Stay for the cuteness overload of 2 cats meeting.
