"This is the beginning of a slasher movie. So four students were stabbed to death. We covered this at the at the University of Idaho. They slept well. They were sleeping in their bed. This is in a small town of Moscow. We're apparently the cops have no fucking idea who did it and the mystery continues to unravel." — Ben (Discussing the Idaho Murders)
The episode kicks off with a discussion about recent media narratives and personal grievances, particularly surrounding online content and perceived attacks on the hosts. This segues into a deep dive into the University of Idaho murders, with Ben providing a detailed account of the crime, the lack of immediate leads, and the unsettling aspects of the investigation. The conversation then shifts to the complexities of modern relationships, including a lighthearted take on a woman who married a rag doll and the subsequent claim of infidelity, highlighting the often bizarre nature of online romantic entanglements. This is contrasted with discussions on consumer fraud, specifically a lawsuit against Kraft for deceptive advertising regarding mac and cheese preparation times, and other brands facing similar allegations about product origin. The hosts also touch upon legal updates, such as the ongoing case of Alex Murdaugh and the complexities of his alibi, as well as broader societal issues like prison conditions and the death penalty. The latter half of the episode features listener-submitted stories, including tales of possible cryptid sightings and unsettling personal experiences, adding a layer of the unexplained and the uncanny to the discussion. The episode concludes with reflections on the show's longevity and audience engagement.
