  • The Von Erich Family: Wrestling Legacy Warped by Tragedy
    2022/10/17

    Today I'm going to tell you about the Von Erich's, a wrestling family that was full of success but warped by tremendous tragedy. The father of the family was Fritz and he began his wrestling career in the early 50s an evil nazi villian. When he was ready to retire and raise his family he began work as a promoter with the WCCW. Fritz would have 6 sons and all but 1 passed away tragically early. Join for me as I tell about the sons, their lives, accomplishments, and tragic fates. It's described as a story of incredible success or a cautionary tale depending on who you talk too.

  • Marvin Gaye: The Inner Turmoil of a Songwriting Genius Part 3
    2022/09/19

    Welcome to the final episode about Marvin Gaye's life. We have already talke about his childhood and rise to fame so this time it's about the fall from grace leading up to his murder. In the last few years of his life his drug use had taken over not only his life but his personality. He lived in a drug fueled paranoia that was incredibly difficult for those around him to bear witness to. Oddly enough he would predict how he would die the year before but just couldn't predict by whom. If only that foresight was all encompassing, he could've prevented the event that he was trying to protect himself from. He was an incredible musical talent that wrote from his soul. He wanted to share his life in the only way he knew how. Unfortunately, there was so much pain and suffering that he held within.  Just a warning that this episode does contain discussions about suicide, drug use, sex, and violence so please keep that in mind if you choose to listen. I hope you enjoy the conclusion to this 3-part series on Marvin Gaye's life.

    2022/09/06

    Today we are picking up where we left off in our last episode, Marvin had just gotten married and was beginning to see some success with his music. During this episode his career really takes off but with that so does his battles within. As his music becomes more successful, he becomes more reclusive after an on-stage incident with his duet partner Tammi Terrell. He manages to keep his tulmutous marriage together until a 16 year old walks into the Motown recording studio and catches his eye. Once this happens it seems he is in a gentle balance of bliss and chaos. We will end this episode in the year 1978 with just 10 years left in his too short life that will be discussed in part 3. 

    Just a warning this does include mentions of suicide, mental health, and sex so please be aware if this is something you aren't interesting in listening to.

  • Creators who Kill
    2022/08/08

    Today I bring you 3 stories of young people who were on popular content creation platforms whose personal lives were taking a turn for the murderous. Jared Loughner spiraled after a high school break up and targeted his local representative to take out his disillusioned hatred for the government on. He took many lives that day except his actual target. Pekka eric Auvinen brought his legally purchased gun to school to take out what we can only assume was his revenge for being bullied. The attempts to prevent this tragedy by his parents were never taken as seriously as they should have. Lastly Claire Miller took the life of her disabled sister for reasons only she knows and that we can assume. They could’ve used their platforms for good but instead they are now an example of warning signs to look out for.

  • Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan: The demise of the bodybuilding power couple
    2022/07/25

    What do you think about when you hear bodybuilder? For me it’s people like Lou Ferrigno who became the embodiment of the hulk. Arnold Schwarzenegger who became an action star and the governor of California. Oh, and you can’t forget muscles on muscles and dark fake tans to show them off. For this couple of bodybuilders, they had it all from incredible physiques, fame and fortune, and each other. They were looking to start a business which prompted them to hire an assistant, but little did they know this decision would eventually destroy the future they were planning when they brutally murdered her. Today I want to tell you about Craig Titus and Kelly Ann Ryan who murdered their assistant Melissa James and set her on fire. The fall from the top sure hits hard once you reach the bottom.
