Did the husband really do it? - Scott Peterson
On this week’s episode, I tell Russ all about the murder of Laci Peterson. Russ doesn’t really care about true crime that much so he doesn’t know anything about this case. He doesn’t even remember the media frenzy it caused back in 2002. Him being so out of the loop is interesting to me. Russ can look at this case with totally fresh eyes without the media influencing him. A lot of people believe Scott Peterson is innocent of this crime and should be exonerated. We are gonna lay out ALL the facts I could find and tell you if we think this husband really did it! Moral of this story... when you are a lying, cheating husband the court of PUBLIC opinion will find you guilty of even the most heinous crime. Learn more about your ad choices.

So you wanna be a killer eh? - Mark Twitchell
On this week’s episode, I tell Russ about the giant ass hat known as Mark Twitchell. He is a Canadian wanna be serial killer who was obsessed with the T.V. series Dexter. He tried to be exactly like Dexter Morgan but fortunately he failed miserably. Mark was a sci fi nerd and amateur film maker who was a true narcissist the core. He really believed he was a genius and God’s gift to women. Moral of the story... “Do, or Do Not. There is no try.” - Yoda Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
