Think of this show as more of your everyday people sitting around a table, campfire, barbershop discussing the news they saw last night. We aren't political analysts, talking heads, or journalists. We're your crazy aunts trying to make sense of the news. We're both news junkies trying to decipher the truth. We know they’re other people out there with the same look of confusion after reading or seeing something on the news. Most of the time we're like what the fuck were they thinking?! Those are the things we'll explore every week; the questions ordinary people have about politics.

Episode 24 - American Women Serial Killers
Women serial killers' make-up just 11% of all cases in the past century. In recent decades it’s more like 5 to 7%. Up until 40 years ago, law enforcement believed there were no women serial killers. They never identified them because it was believed women were incapable of the depravity needed for these horrific crimes. Women serial killers have been around since the 16th century. We discuss why and how women kill. What makes them different from their male counterparts? What makes them different from each other? Of course, Melissa and Renee give their opinions on the matter and decide, could you be a serial killer?

Episode 23 - Serial Killers
We won’t have serial Killers if you stop counting
America has 3 times more serial killers per capita than any other country in the world and has produced 67.58% of known serial killers. We look at why. The USA has a staggering figure of 3,204 serial killers. Is it just because we are better at gathering data? Is it the obsession of the media? Is it the size of our country or our transient lifestyle? We go through all these possible scenarios and more with our sense of humor always in tow.

Episode 20 - Would you believe? The Opioid Epidemic
Opioid deaths rose 29% during the pandemic. Not a huge surprise that people were self-medicating during a difficult time. The overload of the pandemic and the election, the illegal drug trade has been able to multiply their efforts. The (STOP) act put in place in 2017 was meant to prevent and enforce criminal cartels from being able to ship illegal drugs to America via the International Postal Service. However, the Trump administration never implemented any of these regulations. We have the laws, but we have no one enforcing them! Listen, rate, and review this important and personal episode.
