  • 2:9 Want to see a trick? The John Wayne Gacy Episode
    Mar 21 2022

    We are missing Kiki this week, she's on a little vacay, but Jarad  joins MJ and we talk about another infamous serial killer that was executed in the 1990's. John Wayne Gacy, the killer clown, raped and murdered at least 33 young men in the 1970's. His execution was not completed until May 10, 1994. This is our take on this truly evil murderer.

  • 2:8 Dr. Jerkyl and Jeffrey Dahmer
    Mar 17 2022

    This is episode we have a special guest, Jared Howard, the founder of Serial Killers Anonymous: podcasts, documentaries, news and Stories. This week we talk about Jeffrey Dahmer the notorious serial killer. He falls in our 90's category because he was captured and sentenced to 900 years in prison, during the 1990's. We make a lot of inappropriate jokes at the expense of Jeffrey Dahmer, but we truly respect the victims and their families. The devastation this man caused is unbelievable and his life is not to be respected or remembered as anything but horrendous. This was a remote podcast and the connection isn't the best, but it is still well worth the listen. Enjoy!

    Wow, this was a fun episode. We take a deep dive into the world of the Viper Room in the 90's. This little piece of Hollywood is what Kiki calls the Cecil Hotel of the bar scene. Take a nostalgic ride with us back in time to all the debauchery you can handle at the Viper Room.
