Influencers Are Mean & Dumb Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

This week, Ben throws a Christmas-load worth of shade on influencers and influencer culture, and lumps them into two categories, pretty or funny, and these aren't necessarily compliments. He talks about times he's met some of the meanest people are also some of the prettiest people, and that usually leads to them becoming influencers. Ben also touches on how some online beef has moved into IRL and parasocial relationships, which are relationships that are completely one-sided and how it relates to the toxic influencer enviornment. Plus, Ben reveals which online personalities he basically stalked.

Murder Follows Me Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with murder and suicide.

This week, Ben talks about some very serious crimes that happened in his home town very near to him. The first story is about his elderly neighbors, ones he had known pretty well, who were discovered dead in their home late one night, and was rumored to be a suicide pact. The second story is about Ben walking past a murder-suicide on his way to school, but only finding out the very tragic details later. Plus, Ben went on the same route of the infamous Greyhouse Bus murder, which is when a man was randomly murdered and cannibalized on a morning bus route.

If you or someone you know is suffering from depression or is in crisis, visit The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call 1-800-273-8255.
