    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING. ANNA YOUNG AND SUSAN COX POWELL. A TWO NIGHTMARE RECAP

    Two stories. Two different worlds. The same ugly engine underneath: power without accountability. We’re sitting down with drinks and recapping our last two releases, starting with the House of Prayer cult in Micanopy, Florida. The more we read and watched, the more it felt like a blueprint for high control: authority dressed up as religion, secrecy baked into daily life, and victims left to carry the cost. We talk through what made this one so hard to research, the people who were harmed, and why “just don’t join a cult” is never the full story. Then we shift into the Susan Cox Powell case, a disappearance that still feels unresolved in your bones. We trace Susan’s early hopes, the controlling patterns that show up fast after marrying Josh Powell, and the disturbing role of Steven Powell. Spreadsheets for her spending, debt he doesn’t explain, isolation, harassment, and that awful moment when the timeline stops making innocent sense. We also dig into the investigation details we can’t shake, including the phone ping behavior and the infamous supervised visitation 911 call that leaves us furious all over again. If you follow true crime, missing persons cases, cult abuse stories, domestic violence warning signs, or coercive control, this recap connects the dots and names the red flags clearly.

    EPISODE 74: Susan Cox Powell

    A woman vanishes, a husband’s timeline bends with every retelling, and the people closest to her act like the truth is something they can outwait. We’re talking about the Susan Cox Powell case, a missing person mystery wrapped in coercive control, financial abuse, and a family dynamic so disturbing it still shocks seasoned true crime listeners. We trace Susan’s life from her early goals and tight knit community to a marriage where Josh Powell’s “legendary” controlling behavior shows up in money rules, isolation, and constant pressure. Then the lens widens to Stephen Powell, whose fixation on Susan turns into stalking, secret recordings, and behavior that forces a bigger question: how does a victim protect herself when the threat is inside the family and normalized by everyone around it? Along the way, we break down the key timeline details investigators couldn’t ignore, including the snowstorm night, the cleaned couch with box fans, the missing purse-and-keys contradiction, and the sudden moves Josh makes once Susan is gone. The story doesn’t stop at the disappearance. We also talk about the custody fight, the failures around supervised visitation, and the gut punch 911 audio that leaves us furious even years later. If you care about unsolved true crime, domestic violence warning signs, and the systems that are supposed to protect families, this one will stick with you.

    JESSE HAS A CULT STORY

    A cute little town can still hold a nightmare. Jesse finally tells the story he’s been avoiding for weeks: the House of Prayer cult connected to Mother Anna, also known as Anna Elizabeth Young, and the years of abuse tied to Micanopy, Florida. We keep our usual drink-and-talk rhythm, but this one comes with heavy trigger warnings because the details are hard to say out loud, let alone hear. We trace how a charismatic leader builds a “church” that looks clean from the outside while control tightens on the inside: new names, isolation, fear of hell, and punishment framed as holiness. We walk through the moments that should have stopped it, the cases that didn’t, and the point where the harm becomes undeniable, including horrifying abuse against children and the way members stayed loyal even after seeing the worst. We also talk about what it means when “faith” gets used as a weapon, and why cult dynamics don’t announce themselves until you’re already trapped. Then the timeline stretches forward: years on the run, a later arrest that feels infuriatingly small compared to the damage, and the shock of new investigations after Joy, Anna’s daughter, finally speaks up. We share resources to learn more, including Joy’s nonprofit Prevent the Pain at preventthepain.org, plus documentaries that put faces and places to what we’re describing. If you listen to true crime podcasts, cult stories, and survivor advocacy content, this is one you won’t forget.

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING. BILLY MILLIGAN AND GRISELDA BLANCO RECAP

    A cocaine empire stitched into lingerie. A courtroom thriller built on a fractured mind. We go live, buzzed and unfiltered, to recap two of our wildest full-length true crime stories and to say the quiet part out loud about what still doesn’t sit right. First up, we retrace the rise of Griselda Blanco, the Cocaine Godmother whose reach stretched from Colombia to New York and into the Miami drug wars. We talk through the mechanics of how her operation moved product, why she leaned on women as mules, and how public violence became a strategy when control started slipping. It’s a reminder that “organized” crime is often just organized terror with supply chains, and the cost is always paid by people far from the spotlight. Then we switch gears to Billy Milligan, a case that sits at the intersection of dissociative identity disorder (DID), trauma, and the criminal justice system. We break down how alters function as protectors, how “lost time” shows up, and why the details can feel both fascinating and horrifying. We also connect the conversation to what we learned from Jenny Haynes, because seeing how trauma can split a person raises real questions about coping, memory, and survival. And we don’t dodge the biggest debate: when serious crimes happen, what should accountability look like, no matter the diagnosis? If you want the deeper dives, we point you back to the full episodes, share what’s coming next, and tell you exactly where to find us.

    EPISODE 73: Billy Milligan

    One man gets arrested for violent crimes near Ohio State University. Then he says something that sounds impossible: “It wasn’t me.” Not an alibi, not a lie detector story. He claims it was one of his alternate identities, part of a system of 24 personalities living in the same body. That’s the rabbit hole we go down with our guests as Lindsay walks us through the Billy Milligan case, the “campus rapist” headline, and the DID defense that made US legal history. We trace the timeline the way a forensic psychiatrist would: early instability, a father’s suicide, a strict and violent home, and years of alleged sexual abuse that the story links to dissociation, missing time, and identities formed to survive what a child couldn’t endure. We talk through the alters listeners always ask about: Arthur the British gentleman, Reagan the Yugoslav “protector,” Danny the terrified 14-year-old, and the identities tied to the 1977 kidnappings, robberies, and rapes. Along the way, we dig into the details that make this case so polarizing, including distinct skills, accents, medical knowledge, and even different art styles attributed to different parts. Then we get to the courtroom consequences: psychological evaluations, the identification of multiple alters, and the first acquittal in US history based specifically on dissociative identity disorder rather than a general insanity ruling. We also say the quiet part out loud, because victims and listeners deserve it: even if DID is real, harm is still harm, and release still raises serious public safety questions. If you want to go deeper, we point you to Daniel Keyes’ The Minds of Billy Milligan and the documentary coverage that keeps this debate alive.

    EPISODE 72: Griselda Blanco

    A woman runs cocaine through corsets, builds a distribution machine across New York, and turns Miami into a headline factory of fear. That’s the real-world legend of Griselda Blanco, and we take you through the story with all the messy details intact: the childhood violence in Colombia, the leap into large-scale cocaine trafficking, and the tactics that made her both powerful and infamous. We talk about how her operation works, from female mules and custom lingerie smuggling to bribery, money laundering, and the shift from profit-driven deals to public executions. Her orbit starts overlapping with names like Pablo Escobar, and the competition, ego, and paranoia only sharpen the violence. The Miami era brings the chaos into full view, including the Dadeland Mall massacre and the wider “cocaine cowboys” drug war atmosphere that shaped the city’s history. Then we follow the collapse: informants, DEA surveillance, the arrest that feels almost unreal, and the way power can persist even behind bars. We also pause to ask a bigger true crime question we couldn’t shake: why does drug trade violence get treated as less horrifying than other kinds of murder when the body count is just as real? After the story, we cleanse the palate with a music pick from Parish Nine and share where to find us. If you’re into true crime podcasts, cartel history, the Miami drug war, and the real story behind Cocaine Cowboys, hit play, then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING Ed Kemper Recap

    He was a 13-pound baby who grew into a 6'9 presence people could not ignore, yet the scariest part of Ed Kemper is how easily he blended into ordinary life. We’re back with a raw recap of our deep dive on the Co-Ed Killer, and we walk through the mix of warning signs, family cruelty, and isolation that helped shape a predator long before Santa Cruz realized what was happening. We talk about the “serial killer salad” idea, the factors that stack over time, and the moment Kemper describes being locked in a basement night after night. That kind of isolation is more than a bad memory; it can warp fear, attachment, and empathy. From there, we trace the path through killing his grandparents, being viewed as intelligent and cooperative in custody, and then getting released back into the same dynamic professionals warned against. Then the timeline turns into a lesson in access and blind spots. The hitchhiking era, the campus sticker, the cop bar, and the reality that he hears investigative chatter while socializing with law enforcement all collide. We keep the most graphic details in the full story, but we name the key beats, the escalation, and the surreal ending where he has to call multiple times before police believe his confession. If true crime, serial killer psychology, Ed Kemper, Santa Cruz, and criminal justice failures are topics you want covered with honesty and context, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend. After you listen, leave a review and tell us what you think the real turning point was. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!! Ready to explore more shocking true crime cases with us?

    EPISODE 71: Ed Kemper

    Anniversary weekend starts with sunshine and whiplash: pool plans, Disney stories, and the kind of budget “wins” that only happen when you sit through a timeshare pitch and master the art of saying no. We talk about the weird time-warp of recording while traveling, what we’re drinking, and the tiny punches of aging like the moment you realize you’re no longer getting ID’d and the “kids” next to you suddenly look like actual kids. Then we turn the lights off and go deep into one of the most infamous true crime cases of the 1970s: Ed Kemper, the Co-Ed Killer. We trace the timeline from an abusive, isolating childhood to the murders that should have kept him locked away, then the system failures that put him right back into the conditions that fueled his rage. We also unpack how Kemper used hitchhiking culture, manipulation, and access to evade detection, and why his intelligence and calm, matter-of-fact interviews still disturb people decades later. We end with the collapse of it all: the killing of his mother, the note to police, the confession no one believes at first, and what his sentencing and prison life reveal about the contradictions that make this case so hard to shake. If you’re into true crime podcasts, serial killer psychology, and the real-world lessons behind profiling history, this one will stick with you.
