    SUBSCRIBERS ONLY: Neighbors- The Farm

    First, we head to Philadelphia, where a feud over feral cats escalates to unbelievable new heights. Meet Jean, a neighborhood cat lady and aspiring filmmaker with a spiritual side, and her neighbor Maurice, who has been pushed to his breaking point by the overwhelming smell and mess. When Maurice takes a stand by destroying a thousand-dollar “cat hotel,” the conflict lands them a spot on an iconic TV courtroom. It’s a wild ride involving 3D glasses, quantum healing, and a legal battle presided over by none other than Judge Judy. Then, we travel to a quiet suburb in Kokomo, Indiana, where one man’s dream of a self-sufficient homestead has become his neighbors' nightmare. Trevor, a former OnlyFans creator turned farmer, is raising pigs, goats, and donkeys in his backyard, much to the dismay of his neighbor, Darrell. Armed with a sharp tongue and a love for Gin and Sprite, Darrell launches a one-man crusade to shut the farm down. The dispute unfolds in a series of city council meetings, culminating in a ruling that only adds fuel to the fire and a final, feathered act of defiance.

    The Lindsay Shiver Story: A Murder Plot in Paradise

    In the summer of 2023, police in The Bahamas were investigating a local bar burglary when they accidentally discovered a shocking murder-for-hire plot in a series of WhatsApp messages. The alleged target was Robert Shiver, a former football player from a wealthy Georgia family, and the accused mastermind was his estranged wife, former beauty queen Lindsay Shiver. The message that blew the case wide open was just two words: "Kill him." What followed was a story that seemed ripped from a movie script, involving a crumbling marriage, a luxury vacation home in an exclusive Bahamian resort, and an affair with a local bartender. As the case unfolded, it would draw in reality TV stars and reveal a pattern of escalating conflict, with both sides making explosive allegations. This is a deep dive into the story of Lindsay Shiver, a case where a picture-perfect life hid a dark and complicated reality.

    [Florida Files] The Suitcase Murder: The Trial of Sarah Boone

    In February 2020, Sarah Boone zipped her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., into a suitcase during what she claimed was a drunken game of hide-and-seek. She then filmed him as he suffocated, taunting him and ignoring his pleas for help. The videos she recorded on her own phone became the centerpiece of a bizarre four-year legal saga that included 13 attorneys, a viral ad for legal help, and a defendant who smiled through her own sentencing. This is the story of a toxic relationship that ended in a chilling murder, captured on camera by the killer herself. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

    Shoreline Defenders & The Bearded Bard- A Just for Fun Episode from the Moms!

    A quick heads-up: this is a bonus episode where we're just having some fun. We also say 'like' a lot. We're, like, sorry... but not really. Today we're discussing the first episode from HBO Max's "Neighbors". Welcome to the sun-drenched beaches of Santa Rosa, Florida, where the battle for the shoreline is raging. Meet the “Shoreline Defenders,” a group of residents who believe the beach is for everyone, and the homeowners who will do anything to keep their slice of paradise private. Tensions boil over as one man, armed with a GoPro and the “Shoreline Defender” app, decides to take on the local beach patrol, leading to a series of confrontations that are as bizarre as they are hilarious. From heated arguments with a self-appointed beach cop to a tense sit-down at a local restaurant, this is a story about just how seriously people take their sand. Then, we head to the wide-open spaces of Montana, where a man’s dream of a quiet country life is shattered by a dispute with his neighbor. What starts as a disagreement over a fence and a road quickly escalates into a full-blown feud involving Zoom court, a failed mediation, and a whole lot of passive-aggressive staring. But there’s a twist: one of these neighbors is a TikTok star known as “The Bearded Bard,” with over two million followers. When the drama spills over onto social media, things get even more complicated. It’s a classic tale of country versus city, with a surprising connection that proves these two might have more in common than they think.

    Grace Jennings: The Santa Fe Sword Murder & The Trial of Isaac Apodaca

    On October 29, 2022, police found 21-year-old Grace Jennings dead inside a detached garage in Santa Fe, killed with a sword. Her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend, Kiara McCulley, admitted her role, but prosecutors say she didn't act alone. They argue that Isaac Apodaca coerced her into committing the murder through a series of manipulative text messages, promising her advancement in a secret organization called "Ghost." As Isaac's trial is slated to begin soon, the case hinges on whether the state can prove he was the mastermind behind the gruesome killing, even if he never touched the murder weapon.

    In May 2006, 32-year-old writer Rey Rivera vanished from his Baltimore home after receiving a mysterious phone call.
