  • Amish Red Riding Hood from Too Stupid To Live

    Amish Red Riding Hood from Too Stupid To Live
    Sep 24 2025
    It’s a Ye Olde crossover! Lindsay Valenty, host of ye Olde Crime Podcast, takes a brief respite from the world of historical true crime to visit the wonderful world of Amish fairy-tale retellings! She joins Becky to review “Amish Red Riding Hood” by Ashley Emma ($0.99). Book: ⁠Amish Red Riding Hood⁠ Podcast: ⁠Ye Olde Crime Podcast ⁠(⁠Check out Becky on Can You Guess the Cramp Word⁠) Episode Sponsor: ⁠SmartLabels.⁠ Take the stress out of tracking inventory with QR code labels! Once upon a time, a woman named Scarlett was ostracized from her Amish community for being the girl who cried wolf, or more specifically, coyote. Years ago, no one believed her when she witnessed her father killed by a coyote in the woods of Unity, ME. However, when the predatory beast returns Scarlett will stop at nothing to make sure this threat is taken care of. But this time, she has someone on her side – the handsome widower next door, Jacob. So when Jacob, more or less, is like, “Scarlett, what great fearlessness you have,” she’s all, “The better to get vengeance with.” And soon Scarlett’s story of redemption may just end with happily ever after.

  • The Beer & Whiskey Flood Drinking Disastersode of 1814-1875 from Doomsday

    The Beer & Whiskey Flood Drinking Disastersode of 1814-1875 from Doomsday
    Sep 17 2025
    It’s rare for us to have an episode with so many feces mentioned right off the top, but do not worry, refreshments will be served.On this episode: we’re doing another one-of-a-kind episode here, and I’ll explain the rules as get into it, but for all those listeners who love our more unhygienic content, have we got a treat for you. We’re talking about the only consumer product you can blow out your nose while friends and strangers cheer you on; we’ll discuss more context and uses for plop and manure than you could shake a feces coated stick at; and we’ll see why the only thing you can’t kill about the British in countless, ghoulish ways, is their spirit.And if you were listening on Patreon… only one extra segment, but it’ll definitely be different. I’ll be providing some Dodge Caravan math, but I’ll be belching the whole thing for you on a dare from my family.If you are turned off by the mention of faces, this may not be the episode for you. This episode travels all over 1800s Britain, and this is not our first trip to the scabbed over, feces encrusted manure factory that was Victorian England. I am on record as saying they are our grossest episodes, by far, in my opinion. This one may be the worst. I mean, we did one where people were showered in the gory remains of a dead horse that spent the last three weeks cooking in the sun until it randomly popped on some lady in a giant crinoline dress like she was catching hot soup, and she’s all, “not this again”. I owe a debt of thanks to the Ye Olde Crime Podcast for clueing me in to just how no soap, no toothpaste, no germ theory it got. It is my strange privilege to bring you this one-of-a-kind first in the history of podcasting: a SIPPING Game, where with every mention of “human filth” in all it’s iterations and sources, you take a sip.With all due respect, you should feel free to skip a few. I think we mention feces alone 29 times. This might not be for everyone, but for those of you who do, I say hats off, because you can barf into them in an emergency. I’m always watching out for you.The rule of thumb is your liver can tackle about one full size drink an hour, and then you drink water. Provided you follow this precaution, you’ll still die if you sip every time. Feel free to cheat. I encourage it. Do not hurt yourselves. In fact, drop your car keys in your toilet tank before you even hit play. And have a secondary or backup human on standby to watch you listen and make sure you don’t drink yourself into a neurological disorder.The episode is a fun one, and I hope you enjoy. Mark yourself safe after.All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channels: Send us your listener questions to ⁠bit.ly/AskYOC⁠.

  • Hazel Farris: The Modern Mummy from Weird Distractions

    Hazel Farris: The Modern Mummy from Weird Distractions
    Sep 10 2025
    This week's distraction covers the alleged life of Hazel Farris. In 1906, Hazel's short-lived life came to an end after supposedly revealing a dark secret about her past to a new lover. After no one claimed her remains, a local furniture store (and funeral parlour) owner realized Hazel's remains may be a ticket for financial success. Need a distraction? I got you.
