Bad Trip Bad Trip Podcast

California really has it all, from mummified baby dragons and Satanic cults to the real-life site of the Windows XP wallpaper. This week, Taylor breaks down the weirdest laws and strangest pit stops in the state — including a store that’s basically Spirit Halloween on steroids.

Then, Shauna introduces us to Jeff, a mysterious Los Angeles man with CIA connections and wayyyy too many guns. We learn about his life, his death, and some of the people who became ensnared in his tangled web throughout the decades.

Awwww shit y’all... Taylor here. I’m writing the description this week, so you know shit is gonna get WEIRD! First, I tell you the tale of a desperate mother, Aeropostale tote bag circa 2008 (allegedly), and richie rich newborns with fancy security bracelets.

Then, Shauna describes a cryptid that just won’t stop wildin’ out with those spindly arms and Slenderman-esque legs. Listen in as she gives us the scoop on Wetzel’s Riverside Monster and a sexy man from the 60s with the nicest face cakes in town.

It’s short and sweet this week — minus the sweet… So, buckle the fook up, cause it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Hustlers, grab your guns. We’re headed to California, the home of Hollywood, the Redwoods, and marijuana dispensaries with some very creative names. First, Shauna gives us the 411 on California, and we play some games to get us acquainted with the Golden State.

Then we take a hard left turn as Taylor shares the story of the Paradise Camp Fire, the most deadly wildfire in California history. It’s a difficult one to get through, but it’s important — and it shines a light on human bravery and how evil corporations get away with literal murder.

Content warning: Fire, death, mention of animal death

We’re back after an unplanned but much-needed break — and we’re ready to get creepy, y’all. This week, we’re bringing you two minis to wet your whistle before we get back to our regularly scheduled programming.

First, Shauna tells us the story of Bart(leby) Brown, a guy in the early 1900s whose drunken encounter with a mule put him on the water wagon for life. Then, Taylor talks about her favorite topic ever: anthrax! When this insidious bacteria isn’t getting lit in IbiTHa to show Avicii that it’s cool, it’s wreaking havoc and annihilating people’s flesh.

Yeah, maybe don’t listen to this one while you’re eating.

Nevada is a dangerous place. As much as you might want to, we don’t recommend boning in a hot spring or robbing a grocery store at gunpoint. It’s been done before, and the consequences are not worth it...or are they? Find out in this week’s episode featuring wacky headlines from the great(?) state of Nevada.

We also head to Reno to meet the cutest politician on the planet, and then to Tonopah, a town that just might have more clowns than people.

Sorry, folks — we don’t make the news; we just report it.
