Episode 100 True Crime: The Padre Island Beach Camper Murders of James and Michelle Butler Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

Holy crap we cannot believe we have recorded 100 episodes! Thank you so much for your support over the last year-ish. We so very much appreciate you. And of course, we love you and definitely mean it.

Last week was the Bachelorette Season 17 premiere, with Katie Thurston as the lead! Jeff, the skin salesman (you read that right), arrived in an old, dusty Breaking Bad RV as his entrance. It did nothing but creep us and Katie out. He may (allegedly) be a murderer.

(10:19) James and Michelle Butler seem like a truly cool couple, full of life, laughter, and adventure. Originally from New Hampshire, they set out on a trip across the country. They were camping in their RV on the beach in Padre Island, Texas when two creeps (allegedly) murdered them to steal their truck and trailer and headed to Mexico.

Episode 99 The Bachelorette: Sufferkating through Karl (Season 17, Week 2) Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

Friendly reminder that this is in fact a Tayshia Adams Stan podcast, Tay and KB are doing a great job as hosts this season. However, we would not want to stand next to her if we were the Bachelorette lead, she would put us to shame.

This week we saw two group dates and a one on one date. The first group date was heavily sex-themed, and included a virgin arc, of course. The first one on one date of the season goes to Greg, Danielle’s absolute favorite. And then, we get a mud wrestling group date - Danielle loves it, Megan hates it (for good reason).

We are not Karl fans. He’s gotta go. Point. Blank. Period.

We do not say goodbye to any BIPOC contestants. Although we would like to have seen Aaron and Karl say their goodbyes in this episode.

Episode 98 True Crime: The Murder of Amanda “Mandy” Stavik Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

The Bachelorette is back! Danielle covers a story in the state of Washington, where Katie is from.

Before the story, Danielle shares a couple of updates about things going on with her life… There’s a lot going on. This segment contains a domestic violence homicide and a story about a miscarriage. If this is triggering for you, and not something you can listen to, we completely understand. You can fast forward to the true crime story at 21:54. CONTENT WARNING: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, MISCARRIAGE

(21:54) Mandy Stavik was a woman who enjoyed everything and everyone enjoyed her. When she was murdered in the small town of Acme, Washington, the community began searching for her high and low. Mandy’s case went cold until 2013 when two women chatting about true crime made a connection about who Mandy’s killer might be. Then in 2017, a woman took the investigation into her own hands and the killer was identified. CONTENT WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT

We are back bitches! It has been a great break, but it's time to watch a woman we know nothing about, Katie, find love, or like, or something ... I guess.

This week we meet the men and see them come out of the limo on night one. We also find out who is in the box and it is NOT Bao. Get your riot gear ready if he isn’t on Michelle’s season.
