My Existential Crisis
I'm Quite Frankly Delightful (The Most Disturbing Parasites)

Episode 70, we're back! Dylan Bug-ger talks about his recent fight against fleas, "happy hoodies" and smart homes. Madison talks about the breadth of her fascinating/unnerving interests and a disappointing casting decision.

In today's episode, Dylan covers the top five most terrifying parasites and one man who loves them just a little too much. He then caps off one of our grossest episodes yet with a slightly lighter story. Blimey!

69. That's Plagiarism, Baby! (The Disappearance of Natasha Ryan)

It's episode SIXTY-NIIIIIINE!

Madison is her most boring, dad-like iteration as she talks about her love of America's greatest past time. (Guys, plant your feet before throwing a baseball, for the love of all that's holy!) Dylan has a livelier time talking about the ROI of Dollar Dogs at a local baseball stadium, dancing his little feet off, and swimming his guppy heart out.


This week, Madison covers the disappearance of Natasha Ryan, a case filled with twists and turns, and an admission of shoddy research work from Dylan.

68. In Space, No One Can Hear You Horn (AI Romance)

Episode 68! 32 episodes from the big 100, we're almost there. Dylan talks about a wholesome moment he saw on his drive and whether airhorns would work in space. Madison discusses her recent 9-hour long Twilight Imperium session before discussing violence around Harrisburg.

In this episode, Dylan delves into the emerging phenomenon of AI romance. He talks about Replika, Character.AI and the r/AISoulmates subreddit. Dylan and Madison question the legitimacy of AI romance, and finally, Dylan interviews a chatbot to get its thoughts on the subject.

67. A Poetic Lone Cooked Pancake (The Disappearance of Susan Cox Powell)

Episode 67 is here and we are back to our regularly scheduled programming! Dylan recalls his coffee drinking foibles, an unnoticed disappearance, and a regifted "little guy." Madison shares her bittersweet emotions after leaving her last show and shares her love of classic musicals (while emphasizing how she is NOT racist.)


This week, Madison tells the story of the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell, a story that has stayed with Madison for years. It's full of twists, turns, Spanish love songs, and an incredibly tragic ending. While there is little levity in this story, making fun of Steve Chantrey is a glimmer in this otherwise bleak story.

In the words of Steve Chantrey, "I love you... so put me in jail" (and spoiler... they did).

66. One Person's Daemon Is Another Person's Guardian Onion (Daimonions, Daimons and Daemons)

We're back with episode 66! Dylan has to be put down because of a pulled rhomboid. Madison's life has slowed down, but her brain keeps speeding up.

In today's episode, Dylan and Madison talk about Socrates' guiding inner voice, his "daimonion." They trace the idea across centuries, discuss theories and tie past episodes together to arrive at something cohesive.

65. Commercial Innovation Over Public Safety! (The OceanGate Submersible Disaster)

We're back with episode 65 and I promise it's worth the wait!


This week, Dylan kicks us off my telling us about a morbid omen that laid literally at his feet: a dead crow-sized crow. This sparks a discussion about Dylan's dislike for nature and travel and Madison's apparent love for the Grand Canyon, all in the search of finding what we value. Ultimately, this is one of our most wholesome openings where we only slightly dabble into Madison's recurring existential conundrum with Time.


This week, Madison tells us all about one of the events that haunted her nightmares when it was splashed (pun intended) across the news: the OceanGate Submersible Disaster. Madison tells all about what happened that fateful day, and the many, many, MANY failings that lead up to it.

64. A Near Miss at Shaffer's (Quantum Immortality)

What do we cover in the intro? What don't we cover in the intro. We go into the *perfect* French toast recipe, severe hyperpronation, Vicodin, and, of course, baseball. We also talk about Sabrina Carpenter's controversial new album cover.

In this episode, Dylan covers quantum immortality, the theory that we continue to live indefinitely, switching into parallel universes to avoid death. We talk about the theory's connection to other theories, the tragic story of Redditor /afh43, implications for the justice system and what it means to live forever.

Heads up! We do run into some crackling, but that disappears shortly.

63. The Delightfulness of It All (The Murder of Bob Crane)

It's episode 63 and we're coming at you with the most wholesome of intros today. We throw it back to driving lessons, Madison's unparalleled parallel parking skills, and Dylan dreaming about dogs made of flowers and skiing with a Greek bust statue.


This week, Madison takes us into an Octogenarian's dream with the some old Hollywood gossip: the murder of Bob Crane. A rising Hollywood star turned washed up actor, Bob Crane was murdered in his apartment shortly before his 50th birthday, but that isn't even the most interesting part of the story.

62. General Decrepit Ruins, At Your Service (The Soul Trap Theory)

Happy Memorial Day! We're coming at you with episode 62 and we have a rather grim one for you today. But first, Dylan tells us about his new purchase and we're eagerly awaiting the visuals for it. He's also become a hat guy, but wants to make it clear that he's not a fedora guy. Madison talks briefly about her travels from the last 2 weeks where she went to Kenya, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague.

This week, Dylan gets a bit spiritually existential as he tells us about the controversial Soul Trap Theory (and no, that's not a new music genre). It's also referred to as the Cosmic Prison where we are being continuously used for our energy and then spat out for reincarnation back into the universe.

We've reached episode 61! Not exactly a huge milestone but impressive nonetheless. Dylan talks about his experience taking voice lessons and gives his best rendition of John Dylnver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads."


Madison provides an update on one of the oldest cases in true crime history, the mystery of Jack the Ripper's identity. She also updates us on the Vallow-Daybell case before going into the disappearance and reappearance of Alicia Navarro.

We've reached our 60th episode! And Dylan has reached his 30th birthday. We talk about Oddjob Hats (not a sponsor - yet), Steven King movies, secret cookie recipes and unassuming drug dealers.

In this episode, Dylan goes into the emerging panic surrounding microplastics, from its origins to the current day conversation around this growing issue. We go into the health problems caused by microplastics, potential ways to detox and more.

This week, we conclude our three-part series on John Wayne Gacy. Dylan and Madison talk about their favorite episodes of My Existential Crisis, Dylan's 30th birthday and anxiety-inducing psychiatry calls to discuss anxiety. An important question is posed: Is napping a hobby?

For the final part of this series, Madison goes into Gacy's methods, his court case and execution. We talk about the grisly details and more, discussing our opinions on the death penalty and the legacy of one of America's most infamous killers.

In this second part, we follow Gacy's descent into increasingly violent and erratic behavior as investigators close in. The chase comes to a powerful, poignant conclusion. We'll follow up with the final part next week, so stay tuned.

57. An Unimpressed Confederate Ghost Soldier (John Wayne Gacy Part 1)

It's episode 57! Dylan and Madison talk for 20 minutes about all the things life has brought them in the last few weeks. Dylan has a creepy crawly scare which sent Madison into "go-mode," and Madison experienced a ghostly occurrence at the Gettysburg battlefield.


This week (and the next two subsequent weeks), Madison brings us part one of the account of John Wayne Gacy and his many victims. It's a doozy of a story that we wanted to make sure had its due diligence done. Strap in for part one and keep your eyes peeled for the remaining two parts.

Another week, another episode! Dylan talks about his problematic purchase of an overly large office chair, bemoaning the reaction of his coworkers. Madison makes an enemy of a curb, talking in graphic detail about the tumble she took.


Dylan then goes on to discuss the mysterious Mount Kailash, a place of great religious significance in many Eastern religions. The mountain, never formally summited, is surrounded by strange phenomenon and rumors of a mystical city named Shambhala.

We're joined by Binx in the studio today while we talk more about Madison's recent cruise, Dylan's selfish habits, banana milk, childhood nostalgia, and much more this time around. We just can't seem to shut up.


This week, Madison brings the story of the death of Tina Watson. It's both solved and unsolved and someone has been tried and acquitted for the same crime. In the end, you decide what you think.

We're back with another episode! We hear more about Dylan's ski trip to Vermont, all the whacky falls and the surprising fact that you can, actually, get sunburned when it's snowy and cold. Madison tells us about her Google Bot costume, created with duct tape and determination for a surreal birthday celebration.


This week, Dylan covers the dark side of meditation, going into facts and figures that demonstrate the mental danger of diving into this practice uninformed. He provides a few stories from meditators before discussing his own experience with the hemi-sync method.
