  The Most Prolific Serial Killer You've Never Heard Of | EP 72

  Jul 30, 202657 minS1

  He won a TV dating show. He was also one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. This week, Brian and Jimmy unpack two of the most disturbing true crime cases you probably haven't heard. Rodney Alcala — the "Dating Game Killer" — appeared on national television in the middle of a killing spree that may have claimed 130 victims. Then, the wild story of the "Casanova Killer" — a murderer who escaped prison, killed police officers, and was only stopped when a twin sister outsmarted him. Also in this episode: Evansville's infamous run as both the meth capital and obesity capital of America, a firsthand account of a brutal motorcycle accident, which celebrities you didn't know were from southern Indiana, and why Japan's prison system makes ours look like a resort. ⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 — Intro1:11 — Rodney Alcala: The Dating Game Killer6:26 — How Alcala was finally caught7:17 — The Casanova Killer escapes prison11:02 — Should police always patrol in pairs?16:19 — Witnessing a horrific motorcycle accident21:05 — Evansville: Meth capital AND obesity capital23:54 — Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones & local drama27:09 — Celebrities you didn't know were from Evansville35:11 — JD Vance, news media & what we actually watch43:03 — Inside Japan's brutal prison system47:36 — The most dangerous cities in America55:05 — Snake venom and digestion (yes, really) ️ New episodes every Thursday at 6PM ET.

  Jelly Roll's Slow Burn To Fame & Will Neuralink End Privacy Forever? | EP 71

  Jul 23, 20261h 1mS1

  Brian and Jimmy get nostalgic about life before cell phones, debate whether Neuralink will destroy privacy forever, and break down Jelly Roll's incredible slow-burn rise to fame. Plus: the Corvette Museum sinkhole, Yngwie Malmsteen's terrifying perfection, and why comfort might be our most valuable commodity. This week's conversation covers: the sad loss of a local musical talent, World Cup brawls (turns out it's not just Americans), the never-ending road construction paradox, growing up without the internet ("child abuse," apparently), rotary phones, cassette tapes, laserdiscs, and the Columbia House music club — all the obsolete tech that defined a generation. From there we go full sci-fi: Neuralink brain chips, Ray-Ban smart glasses, and the future of personal privacy. Then it's into the rock world: Quiet Riot's controversial new singer, the generational gap in legacy bands, Jelly Roll's van-dwelling days before fame, and our wildest concert memories — including Yngwie Malmsteen's inhuman precision and an 80s rock lineup of Nelson, Great White, Firehouse, and Winger. We close out with the Corvette Museum sinkhole disaster and a therapy session about our questionable car histories.
