Dive into late 2025's cultural and political chaos. Robind discusses Lily Allen's scorched-earth divorce album West End Girl and why it's resonating with women, dissects the viral JD Vance-Erika Kirk hug conspiracy theories, and explores the month-long government shutdown leaving millions hungry while red states cry about "big government" despite being the biggest welfare recipients.

Topics:

• Lily Allen's musical revenge against David Harbour
• JD Vance's suspicious hug and 2028 political calculations
• Government shutdown hypocrisy and SNAP chaos

Robin welcomes back returning guest Iris for a deep dive into the twisted mind of filmmaker Zach Cregger. Fresh off a belated Halloween celebration,  we discuss two very different entries in Cregger's filmography: the surprise horror hit Barbarian (2022) and his latest offering Weapons (2025). From underground lairs to interconnected narratives, Robin and Iris explore what makes Cregger's approach to horror so uniquely unsettling and effective.

We Saw the Devil will return to true crime content. Follow the new show NOW so you don't miss an episode!

This week: The government shutdown hits day 24, air traffic controllers are driving for DoorDash, and federal workers are lining up at food banks...but don't worry, a racist billionaire donated $130 million.

Robin discusses Timothy Mellon, the mystery donor who thinks welfare is "slavery redux" and wrote that Black people are "belligerent." Meanwhile, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom funded by Apple, Amazon, Google, and crypto companies. Oligarchy? What oligarchy?

Plus: Kamala hints at a 2028 run, Trump threatens Canada over hurt feelings, Larry Ellison is buying up every media company in America, and Kim Davis wants the Supreme Court to take away my gay marriage...which, rude, because I JUST got the legal right to be annoyed about household chores.

Also: Robin compares Trump's rhetoric to Kim Jong Un (spoiler: he wants to BE Kim Jong Un, not Putin), break down Stephen Miller's Goebbels moment, and celebrate 7 million people showing up for peaceful protest.

CASE 1: WHERE IS MELODEE BUZZARD?
Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished from Vandenberg Village, California, and her mother refuses to tell investigators where she is. We explore the troubling circumstances surrounding her disappearance, including a mysterious 1,500-mile road trip to Nebraska, years of systematic family isolation, and the lack of educational oversight. Evidence suggests Melodee was last seen on October 7th, 2025. The FBI has joined the search, but her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, remains completely uncooperative. Why won't she tell authorities where her daughter is? What happened during that cross-country trip? And most importantly, is Melodee safe? 


CASE 2: THE DEATH OF JACQUELINE "MIMI" TORRES-GARCIA
In October 2025, the body of 11-year-old Jacqueline Torres-Garcia was found in a storage bin outside an abandoned house in New Britain, Connecticut. Her mother and her mother's boyfriend admitted to police that they starved the child, restrained her with zip ties, and left her to die while other family members watched.

These are stories of systemic failures, community activism, and the urgent need for better protections for vulnerable children.

On August 23, 2010, police discovered the body of MI6 spy Gareth Williams locked inside a gym bag in his London flat. The brilliant mathematician and GCHQ codebreaker was found naked, decomposing, padlocked from the outside in a red North Face holdall. The key was inside the bag, under his body.



Two forensic experts attempted to replicate the scenario 400 times. They failed every single time.

Was it murder? An accident? Russian intelligence assassination? Even the coroner and Metropolitan Police can't agree.

On October 18th, over 2,500 No Kings protests are planned across all 50 states.

For this episode, Robin analyzes the documented evidence and calculates the probability that the Trump administration uses these demonstrations as justification to invoke the Insurrection Act. From NSPM-7, National Guard deployments, and historical precedent, we're looking at a potential powder keg.

Topics covered: protest safety guidance, ICE detention of U.S. citizens, National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, Texas National Guard activation, Pentagon press restrictions, and what indicators suggest potential federal emergency powers.

IRIS IS BACK, BABY!

October means horror movies (it's the only time of year I can get away with it) and questionable life choices, so naturally she picked Immaculate, starring Sydney Sweeney, a convent, and vibes that are NOT Christ-like. Robin countered with The Dark and the Wicked, a film so psychologically deranged it makes Hereditary look like a Hallmark movie.

Saturday: Robin's back to doing true crime, and this one's WILD. Investigators tried 418 times...yes, FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN TIMES...to recreate how this victim died. They failed every single time. It's still unsolved. 

 Sunday: Red, White & Bruised gets its own damn podcast feed because apparently talking about the dumpster fire of modern politics once a week as a series is still making people angry. If you love screaming into the void about how we got here, join us there too.

This week was chaos.

Stephen Miller said "plenary authority" on CNN then froze, revealing they want unlimited power. ICE is abducting U.S. citizens. The government took over federal emails to blame Democrats. And MAGA doesn't know Puerto Ricans are Americans. 

Let's talk about it.

A short review, because I just watched Netflix's "My Father, the BTK Killer" and I need to talk about it.

This isn't another documentary glorifying a serial killer. This is Kerri Rawson's story. She's the daughter of Dennis Rader, the BTK killer who murdered 10 people over nearly two decades while pretending to be a normal dad.

Imagine finding out your Boy Scout leader father, who danced with you to John Denver and took you on family vacations, is one of America's most notorious serial killers. That's Kerri's reality. And 20 years later, she's still processing it.

This show hit...differently. Because it's not about him. It's about the wreckage he left behind. The family trying to make sense of the senseless. The daughter asking herself how she didn't see the monster living in her house.

This is it. The last time we're talking about Chris Chan. Ever.

After 18 years of internet infamy, we're closing the book on one of the most documented...and most disturbing...stories online. This final episode covers 2021-2025: the incest arrest that broke the internet, the charges that mysteriously vanished, and Chris's bizarre new life involving international travel, a mysterious girlfriend named Flutter, and somehow... stability?

From getting kicked out of conventions to holding hands at Finnish amusement parks, from selling painted rocks on Etsy to hitting 100K YouTube subscribers, Chris's post-jail life is nothing anyone predicted. But the real questions cut deeper: Who's actually profiting from this mess? Where's the line between documentation and exploitation? And what happens to someone when thousands of people have spent nearly two decades watching their every move?

We're done. Moving on.

This chapter is closed.

Content Warning: Incest allegations, elder abuse, mental health crises, and the very dark side of internet culture. Not for everyone.

Federal agents rappeling from Black Hawk helicopters onto Chicago apartments. A U.S. citizen shot by Border Patrol. Military brass are humiliated at Quantico while being told to use American cities as "training grounds."

Robin discusses her thoughts Operation Midway Blitz's 800+ arrests, Portland's federal occupation, and the systematic removal of military accountability. Why are veteran lawmakers calling these actions "borderline fascist?"

What happened after the internet's most documented person got arrested for one of the most disturbing allegations imaginable? This deep-dive covers everything from the July 2021 incest call leak that broke the internet, to the livestreamed arrest that got 3,000 viewers, to 19 months behind bars, and the wild journey that followed.


The sketchy Discord manipulators, the Watchmen "protectors," the psychiatric hospital stay, and how Chris walked free through Virginia's autism deferred disposition program. Enter Flutter, the mystery girlfriend, multiple trips to Finland, and Chris somehow becoming a landlord's tenant while still selling Sonichu merch.

Fair warning: this gets dark.

The house is on fire, and too many people are still pretending it’s just a candle burning.

This is the first episode of Red, White & Bruised, a weekly political analysis series. Every Sunday, I’ll discuss the headlines and give my two cents on this current hellscape that we are living through. 

For the debut, we’re walking step by step through Donald Trump’s march toward authoritarianism, a documented trail of power grabs that’s dragged this country closer to fascism than most people want to admit. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t “both sides.” It’s the ugly truth, and it’s time we stop pretending everything is fine.

If you’re ready to cut through the noise, face reality head-on, and get a little bruised along the way, you’re in the right place.

The story continues!

Chris Chan...once a niche internet personality and meme figure, has become one of the most infamous names in online history. In this episode, Robin continues the story and documents Chris Chan’s final descent/break from reality, his spiral into delusion, escalating conflicts, and the disturbing events that turned his story from internet curiosity into criminal infamy...the horrifying revelations about his relationship with his mother.

After a long hiatus, I’m back...and I’m not holding back. In this brutally honest return episode, I talk about why I walked away from the mic: burnout, grief, disillusionment with the true crime space, and a world that feels increasingly unrecognizable. From Charlie Kirk to Chris Chan...we're back. 

Let's talk about what you can expect from WSTD in the future.

⚠️ Warning: This episode gets dark. Real dark. Listen at your own risk.

More than 15 women have now come forward saying that iconic fantasy writer Neil Gaiman (Coraline, The Sandman, Good Omens, American Gods) either blurred the line of consent, or directly and violently assaulted them.

On Monday, New York Magazine and its website Vulture published detailed firsthand accusations from eight women. The explicit details have shocked the literary and music worlds alike, but there's now another question...did his ex-wife, popular indie musician and activist Amanda Palmer know? Was she complicit in some instances of abuse? 

Let's break it all down.
