AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! OI! OI! OI! What's up you beautiful kooks! This week we've got a "rough one" in the realm of true crime...and that's the epitome of hyperbole as far as understatements go! The boys are taking a look at the infamous Adelaide "Family Murders", which to this day remains surrounded by unanswered questions and conspiracies even roughly 50 years after they were committed. It's fairly common knowledge that there was definitely more than one perpetrator but only one man has ever been convicted for this series of five disturbingly brutal, psychosexually sadistic murders. Once again we try our absolute damnedest to maintain a "comedy" podcast while delving into particularly dark subject matter...but you gotta laugh to keep from crying, right? RIGHT? Heh...yeah, sure. Of course. (As we collectively drop to floor in the fetal position). WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS...TOGETHER! All this plus another regular instalment of "What's Weird This Week?" Enjoy! XOXO

Opening/closing theme: "Ghost Town" by Aves, also featuring "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (instrumental version) by Kylie Minogue...cuz she's Australian, as well as an extra special appearance by The Muppets!

HEYYOOO! What's up all you beautiful kooks! WOOOO! It's good to be back from those...dark, DARK times we are living in. Ho hum! Kiss my bum! We're all here to have some fun! This week we finish out our three part series on all of the peripheral weird shit surrounding the Lewis & Clark expedition, including: cryptids, espionage, banking conspiracies, syphilis, suicide, the potentially accursed ground upon which this great-ish country is built, along with various segues concerning Fleece "The Booty Warrior" Johnson! All this plus a personal heartfelt "What's Weird This Week" in which we illustrate both our mature willingness to better ourselves/provide early indicators for our eventual mental instability! Also...A HOMOCIDAL RAMPAGE! This one's got it all folks! Give it a gander...don't cost nothin'!
