    A Solo Race, A Fake Journey, and a Breakdown No One Saw Coming

    This week on The Creep Dive, Sophie brings us the truly bananas story of Donald Crowhurst, a hobbyist sailor, inventor, businessman and possible Olympic-level bluffer, who entered a solo round-the-world yacht race despite having a boat that was barely ready, a business that was collapsing, and a personal relationship with reality that was about to become extremely negotiable. What begins as a desperate attempt to save face turns into a fake voyage, a vanishing act, a psychological collapse at sea, and one of the strangest, saddest mysteries ever to bob around the Atlantic. Cassie also brings us an outbreak boat, Jen brings deep suspicion and boat opinions, and somehow everyone ends up discussing sea madness, fake logs, cosmic beings and whether men should be allowed hobbies.

    Anti-Gravity, Dead Scientists & the Tech They Weren’t Meant to Finish

    The girls tackle the increasingly viral story of the 11 scientists a cluster of researchers linked to propulsion, plasma physics, nuclear weapons, orbital comms and advanced military tech who have either died or vanished in the last couple of years. Jen walks through the names, what they were actually working on, what can be verified, what absolutely cannot, and why the internet has gone feral with theories about UAP tech, anti-gravity, foreign intelligence, and the possibility of fossil-fuel-ending breakthroughs being buried before they ever see daylight. It’s murky, fascinating, occasionally very thin, and deeply unsettling. Also: Trump, Bob Lazar, Los Alamos, and the tiny little issue of whether the people in charge would ever let the world change that much.

    Sausage Fingers, Supreme Courts, and Surrogate Armies

    We start with the moment that detonated live television a BAFTAs broadcast that spiralled into shock, silence, and the fastest PR scramble in recent memory. What happens when something uncontrollable collides with a room full of cameras? Who takes responsibility? And why did the beep button seemingly clock out early? Then we wade into royal territory custody, consequences, and that now-iconic photograph that launched a thousand memes. Is this a turning point for accountability or just another chapter in the long tradition of power protecting itself? Over in the U.S., things are somehow even more unhinged. We look at escalating political theatre, deranged call-ins, and the growing sense that reality itself is buffering. And finally — the story that feels like it was generated by an AI trained exclusively on dystopia the 21-baby surrogacy mansion case. What was happening inside that house? How does something like that go undetected? And what does it say about wealth, control, and the commodification of bodies? It’s a packed episode. It’s bleak. It’s chaotic.

    764: The Internet’s Darkest Cult (Plus Olympic Dick Drama)

    The Winter Olympics are in full swing and so is Trump—ripping into US athletes for daring to have opinions, while Jen enters just ONE sport: Dick Watch. We unpack the cursed saga of Penisgate in ski jumping (tight suits, crotch “adjustments,” and the alleged evolution into injectables), plus the tragic beauty of a sport where everyone flies like a terrified ironing board. Then we pivot because of course we do into the Epstein mire: why Keir Starmer is getting dragged for “the system,” why Peter Mandelson is the eternal shadow in the room, and why this whole story feels like respectability laundering with a side of panic. And finally… we go properly bleak with 764: the online cult started by teens targeting teens, coercing kids into self-harm, cruelty, and blackmail—an internet horror that will make you want to superglue your children’s thumbs together. **Quick trigger warning: the segment at 29min discusses online child exploitation, coercive control, self-harm and animal cruelty.
