    Episode 74: Two Generations, One Questionable TV Show.

    Send us Fan Mail Kota is back after nearly two weeks away, and this week on Current Chatter, he and Losa have A LOT to talk about. The two dive into Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story and break down what worked, what absolutely did not, and just how much the series seemed to stretch the Lizzie Borden story to fill eight episodes. From questionable character portrayals and invented storylines to the very strange decision to bring Eileen Wuornos into the mix, Kota and Losa have plenty of questions—and very few good answers. They also talk about the actors who actually nailed their roles, some historical inconsistencies they noticed, and whether Eileen Wuornos deserved to be the focus of her own story instead of being worked into Lizzie Borden’s. Then things take a darker turn as they discuss a developing Colorado case involving allegations of altered sexual-assault case reports, before switching gears to football, this week’s wins and losses, and the upcoming games. And because this is Current Chatter, the conversation eventually goes completely off the rails when Kota reveals that he apparently knows WAY too much about pigs, serial killers, and disposing of bodies. Two generations. One conversation. Zero ability to stay on topic. As always stay hydrated, take care of your mental health, and brace yourself for the unexpected.

    Episode 73: I'm all Alone!! There's no one here beside meeeee!!!

    Send us Fan Mail Kota couldn't make it to the microphone this week, so Losa takes over for a special solo episode of Current Chatter! She dives into three bizarre and surprisingly fascinating stories: an Iowa family with five generations born on the exact same day, critically endangered lemurs whose songs have surprising similarities to human singing techniques, and a humpback whale that somehow found its way into California's Sacramento River. Plus, Losa tackles the family's ongoing football rivalry, shares her favorite moments from the week, and asks listeners which of the three strange stories deserves the title of this week's Strangest Story. It's a little different without Kota, but the chatter—and the weirdness—must go on!

    Episode 72: Lindsay Clancy Part 2 A Case With No Easy Answers

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Current Chatter, Kota and Losa continue their discussion of the Lindsay Clancy case in their first-ever Part Two. After diving even deeper into the case, the two take a closer look at postpartum psychosis, mental illness, the healthcare system, and the difficult question of how someone can be held accountable while also recognizing the possibility of severe mental illness. They discuss the controversial 11–1 jury split, the holdout juror, jury privacy, the intense reactions playing out online, and the fear that this case could reinforce harmful stereotypes about women and mental health. There are no easy answers here, and Kota and Losa don't pretend there are. Instead, they talk through what they believe, what they still don't understand, and what they hope can change when it comes to mental healthcare and getting people help before a crisis reaches this point. Then, because this is still Current Chatter, they leave the heavy stuff behind for a little football talk—including the Chiefs absolutely wrecking the Broncos—and make their picks for the week. As always stay hydrated, take care of your mental health, and brace yourself for the unexpected.   Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!

    Episode 71: Lindsay Clancy: Well, That Got Dark

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Current Chatter, Losa takes over the episode and brings Kota a true-crime story he somehow missed—the shocking case of Lindsay Clancy. As they dig into the murders of her three children, they discuss postpartum psychosis, mental health treatment, the insanity defense, and where accountability fits when someone is experiencing a severe mental health crisis. Kota hears the details for the first time, leading to plenty of questions, disagreements, and some seriously uncomfortable conversations about whether prison or psychiatric treatment is the right answer. And because this is Current Chatter, a very dark conversation somehow ends with a discussion about bidets. This one is heavy, complicated, and definitely leaves them with more questions than answers.  Two generations. One noisy world.

    Episode 70: Donkeys, Lions & a Truckload of PBR

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Current Chatter, Kota and Losa talk bad luck, broken water heaters, and some hilarious family stories from Kota’s teenage years. Then things get weird with mistaken lions, a very unfortunate petting-zoo donkey, and a conversation about police, mental health, and when lethal force is justified. They also dive into dangerous roller coasters, the fascinating mysteries of the human brain, a stolen truckload of PBR, some questionable trivia, and plenty of football trash talk as the new season gets closer. It's another week of random conversations, weird stories, laughs, and a few moments that get surprisingly deep. Two generations. One noisy world.

    Episode 69 The New Satanic Panic Is Vegetables

    Send us Fan Mail After a two-week break, Current Chatter is back—and apparently, we forgot how to podcast. Kota and Losa are reunited and catch up on everything they missed, including Kota’s wisdom teeth extraction, a surprising discovery about his dental health, and why laughing gas apparently does absolutely nothing for him. This week, the weirdness gets turned up with a 29-toed world-record-holding cat, the bizarre sport of German finger wrestling, and AI-generated vegetables brutally attacking each other. Are violent AI fruit videos the new “satanic panic,” or are people just looking for something new to be outraged about? The duo also talks about the recent losses of beloved cultural icons, a robot that apparently decided Usain Bolt’s world record was just a suggestion, and why Kota and Losa have collectively decided they are much better at fighting than running.

    Episode 68: Don't Alt-F4 Me

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Current Chatter, Kota and Losa dive into another collection of bizarre stories and plenty of family banter. They kick things off with KFC and Oreo’s wild new fried-chicken-flavored cookies before asking just how far is too far when it comes to fast-food branding. They also discuss a bride who took “cold feet” to an extreme by burning down the church where she was supposed to get married, and a Florida steakhouse offering a very unconventional nude-dining experience.  The episode also has a feel-good story about Goosey, a pet goose who alerted his family to a barn fire, plus a detour into the strange world of porch geese and seasonal goose outfits. Then things get competitive when Kota and Losa break down their weekly ChatGPT football competition, talk preseason football, injuries, and their teams, and continue their increasingly serious battle for bragging right As always stay hydrated, take care of your mental health, and brace yourself for the unexpected.   Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!

    Episode 67: This Is Why We Can't Be Left Alone

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Current Chatter, Kota and Losa are back with another episode packed with weird stories, random conversations, and plenty of laughs. Kota shares his disastrous Walmart experience, while the two discuss stolen Civil War cannonballs found in an airport, including the questionable decision to wrap them in toilet paper. They also talk about Mexico’s enormous 3,400-pound torta, a raccoon causing chaos in someone’s garage, and the strange lengths people will go to for rare collectibles. The conversation then turns to football as Kota brings the latest Broncos training camp news and shares why he thinks Denver could have one of the most explosive offenses in the AFC. Losa, of course, has plenty to say about the Chiefs. They also chat about giant spiders taking over Kota’s house, the new Masters of the Universe movie, The Odyssey, and whatever else manages to come up along the way. Another week of Current Chatter, another collection of stories that somehow turn into a conversation about everything.
