The episode dives deep into the complicated case surrounding Mackenzie Shirilla, exploring the evidence, toxicology reports, courtroom drama, and the question that still divides people: was the crash intentional or a horrible reckless mistake?

Heavy conversation gets balanced out with hilarious debate questions, childhood stories, embarrassing public moments, weird foods, old technology nostalgia, and classic McCoy family chaos. From failed leapfrogs over bike racks to accidental WWE-style toddler tackles, this episode swings between true crime discussion and absolute comedy.

Kota also introduces a new “Myth vs. Facts” segment, tackling whether a penny dropped from the Empire State Building could actually kill someone. Plus: lottery wins, bizarre medical stories, a motorcycle stuck on a traffic light, and the Canadian woman who allegedly terrorized her ex by sending him 1,847 lemons through DoorDash.

    Episode 55: So… At What Point Do You Call the Police?

    Send us Fan Mail This week, Kota and Losa kick things off by bonding over exhausting work weeks before diving straight into chaotic internet humor—reacting to a viral prank video that had them laughing (and slightly horrified). From there, the conversation spirals into hilarious personal stories, including childhood chaos, revenge with seat warmers, and a truly unforgettable “running on all fours” moment. The episode leans into its signature “what is wrong with the world?” energy with a series of bizarre news stories. They cover everything from a temple in India requiring visitors to consume cow-based concoctions, to a prosthetic leg washing up on a beach, and a Florida couple driving around with a dead alligator strapped to their car. The running theme: at what point do you call the police? Things only get weirder with talk of recalled heated socks catching fire, a restaurant accused of storing roadkill in its freezer, and a deep dive into questionable food choices. The hosts balance disbelief with humor, constantly challenging each other (and listeners) on where common sense should kick in. To wrap it up, Kota brings in cryptid lore with the Loveland Frogman—an alleged four-foot-tall, bipedal frog creature that’s gaining attention as a potential state cryptid. Naturally, this sparks a mix of skepticism, curiosity, and new irrational fears.

    Episode 54: My Flabbers Are Gasted

    Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode of Current Chatter mixes humor, shock, and a bit of existential reflection as Kota and Losa bounce through a lineup of wild and bizarre stories. They kick things off talking about the podcast’s unexpected growth shoutout to Chile!! And what it really means to “go viral” without becoming a cautionary tale on the internet. From there, things take a turn into the unsettling, starting with a disturbing case of public indecency that sparks a real conversation about consent and basic human decency. That theme of “what is wrong with people?” continues with a jaw-dropping medical story involving a surgeon removing the wrong organ raising serious questions about accountability in healthcare. The episode balances that heaviness with some strange-but-fascinating news, including chimpanzees potentially waging what looks like a “civil war,” and a man building a tiny submarine… for his pet parrot. Naturally, this leads to a mix of awe, confusion, and some very real anxiety tied to the Titan sub implosion. On the lighter side, they share a hilarious story about a 91-year-old woman so locked into her video game that police had to perform a welfare check life goals, or maybe a cautionary tale, depending on who you ask. The episode wraps up with internet absurdities, including a poorly designed “wash your hands” sign you truly can’t unsee, plus some relatable rants about door-to-door visitors and awkward social encounters.

    Episode 53: The False Prophet Effect

    Send us Fan Mail This week we go down a wild rabbit hole with Netflix’s The False Prophet and honestly, we weren’t ready for how messed up this one gets. What starts as a conversation about FLDS culture turns into a full breakdown of how one man, Samuel Bateman, took advantage of a broken system and turned it into something way darker. We’re talking manipulation, control, blind faith and decisions that will genuinely make you pause and go “how does this even happen?” We don’t just recap the documentary we react to it in real time. The anger, the confusion, the moments that made zero sense, and the ones that hit way too hard. Especially when it comes to the women and kids caught in the middle of it. And then there’s Christine and Toga two people who saw what was happening and decided to step in, even when it meant putting themselves right in the middle of something dangerous. This episode is messy, honest, and a little all over the place because that’s exactly how this story feels. But at the end of it, one thing’s clear: this wasn’t just about one man. It’s about what happens when people are taught not to question and what it takes to finally break out of that. As always stay hydrated, take care of your mental health, and brace yourself for the unexpected.   Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts!
