    EPISODE 89: The Outraging Murder of Sarah Everard

    A normal walk home. A well lit London street. CCTV everywhere. Then a man flashes a badge and says the words that are supposed to mean safety: “I’m a police officer.” Sarah Everard’s case hits like a punch because it’s not a mystery built on bad decisions, it’s a nightmare built on trust, compliance, and power. We walk through who Sarah was, what that March 2021 COVID lockdown felt like in the UK, and the minute by minute timeline that investigators pieced together through bus footage, dash cams, and surveillance. Then we get into Wayne Couzens, a Metropolitan Police officer, and how he used pandemic rules as a weapon to justify a false arrest. We also talk about the warning signs people say they missed, the indecent exposure reports that should have mattered, and how a workplace culture can normalize the unforgivable until it’s too late. The public response matters here just as much as the courtroom outcome. We cover the rage that followed, the vigils like Reclaim These Streets and Clapham Common, and the awful advice some officials gave women afterward, basically telling them they should “just know” if an arrest is legit. We read part of Susan Everard’s victim impact statement because it puts the real cost into words no headline can capture. And because we always need a reset after heavy true crime, we end with a band feature to cleanse the palate: Capture This with “It’s About Money.” If this story makes you angry, you’re not alone.

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING : Stephen Jay Russell, and maternal instinct recaps

    A fake pregnancy is one thing. Keeping it alive for months, staging a gender reveal, and pulling everyone into the performance is something else entirely and the ending is as brutal as it is hard to understand. With drinks on the table and zero filter, we pick back up on the viral Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct and walk through the moments where the story should have collapsed, the red flags that got waved off, and the gut punch that comes when deception turns into violence.  Then we hard pivot into a completely different kind of true crime: Stephen Jay Russell, the real-life inspiration for I Love You, Philip Morris. We talk about the double life, the con-man confidence, and the wild prison escapes that sound fictional until you realize they actually happened. Along the way, we unpack the messy motives that swirl through this case, love, abandonment, survival, ego, and what “rehabilitation” looks like after decades behind bars and years in solitary confinement.  We also share what we’re lining up next, shout out the community that keeps us going, and talk through ways to connect with us if you want to guest or collab. If you like conversational true crime, documentary recaps, and real reactions that don’t pretend these stories are simple, hit play, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a review.

    EPISODE 88: The Things Steven Jay Russell Does for Love

    A man with a genius IQ. A trail of fraud that spans states. Multiple prison escapes that sound impossible until you realize he planned them like a full-time job. We’re drinking about Stephen J. Russell, the real-life con artist behind I Love You, Philip Morris, and we’re not just retelling the plot, we’re digging into what made it all happen. We talk through Russell’s early life, adoption fallout, and how abandonment issues and secrecy can shape a person’s choices for decades. From law enforcement jobs to identity scams, he keeps reinventing himself, and the reinvention turns darker as the stakes rise. The story hits hardest when we get into the HIV/AIDS era and his relationship with Jimmy Kimple, including how fear, stigma, and broken systems made survival feel like a privilege that had to be bought. Then it’s escape after escape: disguises, forged paperwork, impersonated officials, and the moment his obsession with staying close to Philip Morris pulls someone else into the consequences. We also wrestle with the criminal justice side, including the shocking sentence, years in solitary confinement, and what “fair punishment” should look like for a nonviolent con artist whose harm is real even when it isn’t physical. If you’re into true crime podcast storytelling, prison escape cases, con artist psychology, and LGBTQ history, you’ll have a lot to say after this one. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us: where do you draw the line between love, survival, and crime?

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING. PART OF A CRAZY STORY.

    A true crime documentary rarely hits like this, but Maternal Instinct starts with a scene so shocking we’re still trying to process it while we talk. We’re recording “raw, uncut, and unedited,” drinks in hand, walking through the viral story out of New Boston, Texas and the disturbing spiral around Taylor Parker and Wade Griffin. What begins as a relationship that moves way too fast turns into a maze of claims, pressure, and public posts that make it harder for everyone involved to admit what they’re seeing. We unpack the inheritance narrative that powers the whole con: promises of millions, big purchases meant to buy trust, and a constant stream of explanations for why the money is always just out of reach. We dig into the red flags that show up early, including the too-perfect backstory, the sudden move-in, and the way questions get treated like betrayal. Then we get into the pecan farm deal and the “trust fund” runaround that feels like it should end everything, until another bomb drops. The turning points are brutal: a vehicle that gets repossessed after being framed as a generous gift, the desperate scramble to keep the story alive, and a pregnancy claim that collides with what an OBGYN and friends say is medically impossible. We also talk about the people around the couple: who speaks up, who stays quiet, and how easy it is for a lie to isolate someone from the friends trying to help. If you’ve watched Maternal Instinct, you’ll have opinions, and we want them. Subscribe for more true crime reactions, share this with a friend who can’t look away from a documentary like this, and leave a review with the biggest red flag you think should’ve ended it sooner.

    EPISODE 87: Gypsy Rose Blanchard

    A mother, a wheelchair, a stack of diagnoses, and a whole community convinced they’re watching a miracle of survival. Then the news shows Gypsy Rose Blanchard standing up, and everything people “knew” collapses. We’re telling this story with care and honesty because it’s not just a viral headline, it’s a brutal example of medical child abuse and coercive control hiding in plain sight.  We break down Munchausen by proxy (factitious disorder imposed on another) in plain language, then track how Dee Dee Blanchard allegedly used doctors, paperwork, and performance to keep Gypsy isolated and dependent for years. We talk about the red flags that get missed when medical records vanish, when “mother says” becomes a substitute for evidence, and when a child is treated like they can’t be trusted to tell the truth about their own body. If you’re interested in trauma psychology, child welfare failures, and how systems get manipulated, this conversation goes deep.  We also get into the hardest part: the relationship that becomes Gypsy’s attempt at escape, the events that lead to Dee Dee’s murder, and why “why didn’t she just leave” ignores how captivity can be built out of fear, medication dependence, and learned helplessness. From prison to parole to public scrutiny, we talk about what healing looks like when the internet turns real trauma into content.  If this episode hits you, share it with someone who cares about survivor-centered true crime, subscribe for next week, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING Hitler And Hooters Meets A Murder Plot

    A “missing” purse. A hot tub night with new friends. A couple chasing thrills so hard they stop seeing people as people. We jump into the strange, brutal story of BJ and Erica Seifert and how their relationship goes from intense to outright dangerous, with a vacation in Ocean City, Maryland as the turning point. We walk through the early timeline and the whiplash pace of their marriage, then dig into the toxic push and pull that shows up once real life hits: long absences, control, jealousy, and the need for constant intensity. From there, the recap moves to Ocean City, where they meet Josh and Jeannie Ford, party at Secrets, and lure them back to a condo. What should have been a normal night turns into accusation and chaos when Erica claims her Coach purse is gone, along with valuables and prescription medication. We also talk about the details that make this case so unsettling: the idea of “thrill crimes” as relationship glue, the careless choices that leave evidence behind, and the way partners often flip on each other when the pressure finally arrives. And yes, we get into the bizarre piece that helps bring everything down: a Hooters break-in for merchandise, the kind of stupid risk that ends up mattering. Listen through, then tell us what you think the real catalyst is here: obsession, ego, or the rush.

    EPISODE 86: Erika and Benjamin Sifrit (HITLER AND HOOTERS)

    A friendly shuttle ride and a “buy us a drink” deal shouldn’t end in horror, but sometimes the danger shows up wearing a smile. We start with our usual kitchen-table banter and a round of “what made us feel old,” then we pivot into a killer couple story that left us furious, sick, and desperate for people to hear the warning signs. Pride Month is also front and center. We share resources for The Trevor Project and encourage donations, especially as funding gets cut for services that LGBTQ youth rely on. We also point you toward the Matthew Shepard Foundation and why its work against hate and violence still matters. If you’ve been looking for ways to support LGBTQ mental health and crisis intervention, this is a solid place to start. Then we unpack the case of Erika and Benjamin “BJ” Seifert and the Ocean City, Maryland murders of Joshua Ford and Martha “Jeannie” Ford. We talk about obsession, drugs, escalation, and the red flags that stacked up fast: guns, reckless behavior, and a situation that went from party vibes to control and violence in minutes. We also get into how the investigation closed in, how the couple turned on each other, and why this story changes how we think about making “new friends” on vacation. We cleanse the palate with our music pick, Chart Attack’s “Chop Suey” cover, then wrap with where to find us next.

    DRUNK ABOUT SOMETHING: Daniel Morcombe And Jeni Haynes recap

    A missing kid case is devastating on its own, but it hits differently when it starts with something painfully normal: a teenager heading out to get a haircut and buy Christmas gifts. We talk through the Daniel Morcombe case with the respect it deserves, including how a routine bus stop and a sudden change in plans can create the exact opening a predator looks for.  Then we move from grief to action. We highlight the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, “Day for Daniel,” and why child safety education works best when it’s simple, repeated, and matched to a child’s age. We also share how we approach those conversations at home, because awareness is not just a headline, it’s a skill kids can practice.  We also revisit the story of Dr. Jeni Haynes, a survivor whose life and advocacy have helped many people understand dissociative identity disorder (DID) without myths or sensationalism. We point you toward the documentary “We Are Jenny,” her book “Girl in the Green Dress,” and the hard truths about trauma, memory, and what it takes for someone to finally be believed.  If you listen to true crime podcasts for more than shock value, this one is for you. Subscribe to Drink About Something, share it with a friend who cares about prevention and survivor voices, and leave a review telling us what case or topic you want us to take on next.
