Ed makes his fateful stop at the Plainfield hardware store, and a simple sales receipt turns into the thread that unravels everything. We follow the search of the farmhouse and the investigators’ grim discoveries, connecting Bernice Worden to the earlier disappearance of Mary Hogan. It’s small-town whispers becoming national headlines as we break down how the case finally snapped into focus, and set the stage for Gein’s interrogation, insanity claims, and what comes next.

It’s Natalie’s birthday week, and Sean finally does a roast, believe it or not, and yes, it’s about time. We read fresh Trashbag Stories, play a quick round of Two Words, and react to the news that Britney Spears deleted her Instagram (woah). Funny, a little petty, and very us.

Episode 3 takes us from whispers, to the night the investigation breaks open. We track Bernice Worden’s disappearance, the timeline that points police to Gein’s farmhouse, and what the searchers uncover inside, with plain-English context from contemporaneous reports and court records. Clear storytelling, real history, and our dry humor to keep you breathing through the grim parts.

Episode two takes us deeper into Plainfield and the making of a monster. We unpack the farmhouse, the control, the isolation, and the red flags everyone clocked but did not have language for at the time. Sean brings the comic relief in the worst possible places, Natalie adds the therapist lens for why certain behaviors escalate, and together we connect the show’s scenes to real small-town dynamics, grief, and obsession. Expect sharp scene-by-scene commentary, weird little details you missed, and a few moments where we both go absolutely not.

Back to business and fully caffeinated. We talk Britney, pig Cardi B, and then hit our favorite segments, News Highlights, Two Words, Trashbag Listeners, and Sean’s Scary Shit. Thank you for listening and for sticking with us.

Ed Gein’s story opens on the bleak Plainfield farm under the iron grip of his mother Augusta. Episode 1 titled “Mother” shows how her fire and brimstone lessons, strict isolation, and fixation on purity shape Ed’s fearful view of women and the world. We see daily farm routines, awkward attempts to connect with others, and early voyeurism that neighbors sense but ignore. The focus stays on Augusta as the center of his life and the blueprint for his choices, setting up how control, shame, and loneliness start to harden into something darker.

Sean’s starving, Natalie’s chain smoking an Expo marker, and somehow we're still doing this show. Buckle up for another episode packed with news highlights, Two Words, and our signature Trashbag Stories.

We are back for good this time, and yes, we know we skipped episodes again. Consider this our apology tour, complete with listener emails, grandma-level roasts, and a real talk moment about why we will not read certain messages or stalker submissions anymore. This show is meant to be an escape, not a reminder of the world’s pain, and somewhere in the middle of it all, we are also scared for Lupe’s chalupa.

Episode 92: Believe it or not, we’re actually on time! We overshare a few personal details (because therapy is expensive), and once again try to crack the case of Sean’s mysterious stalker. Spoiler: it’s definitely not Natalie pretending. If it were, those emails would have better grammar, juicier insults, and probably a coupon code for Taco Bell.
And listen to the Gacy recaps!!!!!!!

Episodes 5 and 6 “You Have to Dig / It Never Ends”
As Gacy’s execution nears, investigators continue searching for answers both in the ground beneath his properties and in the lingering mysteries of his crimes. Families of victims confront ongoing grief while law enforcement pursues the possibility of additional bodies, using DNA to identify remains and following new leads tied to locations Gacy once controlled. Decades later the case refuses to close, proving the nightmare of Gacy’s actions truly never ends.

It’s Sean’s birthday episode and we have a pile of presents waiting for you. There’s a stalker message with a birthday clue, Natalie steps in with a roast, and we pull out some of Sean’s most memorable quotes from the last couple of years. To top it all off, there’s even a surprise message from B. The only problem is that Sean is hungover and sounding a lot like Eeyore, which makes unwrapping all of this even funnier.

John Wayne Gacy Recap: Episodes 3 and 4. We are back in the crawlspace for episodes three and four, and honestly, it just keeps getting darker. In episode three, we go into Gacy’s double life and how he managed to be Mr. Friendly Clown on the outside while hiding a nightmare underneath. By episode four, we are in full trial mode with his lawyers trying the insanity defense, experts arguing over his mental state, and a jury forced to sit through details that would scar anyone for life. We break it all down with our usual mix of shock, sarcasm, and “how the hell did he get away with this for so long.”

Not to brag but we actually made it to 90 episodes. If you are still listening at this point, congratulations, you officially have no standards. This week, we basically speed through because Sean is running on fumes, and I am back to my glamorous life of working. We are taking a break from Sean’s stalker fan mail because honestly my stomach cannot take another creepy love letter, but we still bring you two words, news highlights, viral videos, and a fresh pile of Trashbag Stories. Short, messy, and just barely held together, kind of like us.

RECAP Devil in Disguise Wayne Gacy Episodes 1 & 2. We jump right into the disturbing double life of Wayne Gacy, the smiling neighborhood clown who was hiding something straight out of a nightmare. From the way he lured his victims to the frustratingly slow investigation, it is a wild and unsettling look at how a monster lived in plain sight. You will hear our reactions, questions, and pure disbelief as we break it all down in our own chaotic style.

Episode 89! Can you believe you’ve stuck with us this long? We can’t decide whether to thank you or recommend professional help. Either way, we appreciate you. Today’s episode is a glorious mess, packed, and apparently, everyone hates Natalie. We’ve got a flood of listener emails (keep them coming), another round of juicy trash bag stories, and some movie trivia straight from The Hangover. This one is chaotic, unpredictable, and all over the place, just how we like it.

Here we go, Episode 88. And wow, we are learning a lot about Sean. Turns out he’s a cuddly teddy bear with a deep love for Superman ice cream! His stalker emails are rolling in fast, and they are getting intense. We’re officially scared for our dear Sean. Please don’t hurt our little heartthrob, Noah! (The Notebook)

Sean might need security after this one. Thankfully, B and Lupe are here to save him. Tequila is flowing, Superman ice cream is melting, and the laughs just keep coming. Please don't be sensitive.

Episode 86 is here and it’s a hot mess just how you like it. We kick things off with some mean listener emails because apparently verbal abuse is your love language. Then it’s on to trashy listener stories, trashy news highlights, and yes Are You Smarter Than a Sixth Grader is BACK to remind us we probably aren’t.
Grab your snacks, embrace the chaos, and ENJOY THE TRASH.
