Give Me Murder Or Give Me Death

Ok But Really This Is The Last One Sep 21, 2021

Well, this is the death rattle of GMMOGMD. The first of the three episodes posted today (Tuesday, September 21st, 2021) was a false flag. It can be equated to a patient flatlining, the second one I guess would be the defibrillator that briefly allowed the show to regain consciousness, but now the fucker truly dies. Thank you all so much for listening and supporting us over the years. We will (not[because when you die you enter permanent nothingness{most likely}]) see you on the other side.

Whoops, here's another one! Sep 21, 2021

Ok so I goofed again, as is the wont of this 'cast. Turns out I actually had 3 unreleased episodes, this is 2/3. So the one that said it is for real the last episode ever is, in fact, not the last episode ever. Sorry for being a piece of shit, love you guys.

FINAL EPISODE EVER! Sep 21, 2021

I swear I didn't hang on to this on purpose to leave you hanging. It's just...I was releasing the bonus episodes on the main feed piecemeal after moving to LA, then the pandemic happened, then I moved back to Pittsburgh. And I forgot! Sorry! No idea what this one's about but I hope you enjoy! Miss you guys, hope to start another podcast in the next few months. shipweeksforeverhashtag

Give Me Bonus #13 Jun 10, 2020

Like all of these, I have no idea what this episode is about, just uploading them in sequential order. My birthday was 4 days ago, I'm old enough to run for president now. These are wild, historic times. It's a lot to risk because of COVID but I participated in BLM marches in Hollywood and Pittsburgh, gonna try to avoid people now in case I was exposed. I doubt anyone who has listened/listens to this podcast would disagree, and it should go without saying but, Black Lives Matter. If you're still here and listening, thank you, we hope you're doing okay.

Give Me Murder #71 - New Year's Necrophilia Pt. 1 Jan 02, 2019

Sorry guys, it's the new year and we are experiencing a cold, gray, wintery desolation that hangs over every fiber of our very being. So we rambled A LOT on this one, but join us as we make it through the first 5 (out of 10) classifications of necrophilia and still self-consciously wonder about this podcast. We were in a mood, hope you like it.

Give Me Murder #70 - Happy Christmas/Sort of Bonus Episode 3 Dec 25, 2018

We hope you're having a lovely holiday and the weight of existence isn't bearing down on you. It's explained in the episode but Alex messed up and this was supposed to be bonus episode 3 for the Patreon but now you all get to hear it! This is what our bonus episodes are like: fast and loose. There's a Christmas murder story as well as a whole load of other shit, we swear by episode 100 we're totally gonna have it together.

Give Me Murder #69 - Blood Drinking Creep/Monster: John Brennan Crutchley Dec 19, 2018

This is the story (that we occasionally get to amidst our incessant rambling [we truly can't apologize enough for our existence]), of John Brennan Crutchley.

Give Me Murder #68 - Murder Innit? Dec 10, 2018

From 18th century England comes the story of a horrific child abuse murder. As I forgot to do this at the beginning of the episode please take this as a trigger warning because violence against children is described. Please also note that we get super off topic in this episode but, like, we always do. And like, is this podcast even good? Truly we don't know. Dear god we hope you keep listening.

Give Me Murder #67 - Los Hermanos Menendez Dec 06, 2018

It's the Menendez brothers! Please enjoy our light analysis of the background leading up the crime as well as our usual nonsense. Wow, THIS is a good episode, but obviously that's totally up to you to decide and we really shouldn't be making that call. Apologies.

Give Me Murder #66 - Thankful for Witchcraft Nov 19, 2018

Bizarro deaths, bizarro Lena & Alex recording on a Sunday, what does it all mean? No one knows, let alone us. Does anyone actually read these descriptions? Shoot us an email.

Give Me Murder #63 - John Wayne Gacy Oct 11, 2018

Lena picked a serial killer! Heard of him? We realize that actually some people may actually not have heard of John Wayne Gacy, but really, where were you hiding? We're really playing the hits this time, getting off the rails, existential dread, etc., this one is fun!

Give Me Murder #62 - Henri Landru Sep 27, 2018

To be quite fair and honest this episode is all over the place. It's light on accents but we slip some in. It is a mix between discussions of deep existential angst, what it means to be a psychopath and/or serial killer, and the very interesting story of Henri Landru, who killed at least 10 women in France in the early 20th century.

Give Me Murder #61 - Aliens? Maybe. Sep 13, 2018

We discuss the Travis Walton "alien abduction" and a whole bunch of other stuff this episode. That abduction (very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very) probably did not happen. Harrison feels pretty strongly about extraterrestrials and jumps in for a while on this one. The biggest takeaway from this one is that thinking about space too much is horrifying.

Give Me Murder #60 - Cannibalism 201: Continuing Education Aug 30, 2018

More cannibalism stuff, we know you love it (do you?). This is a pretty rip roarin' damn fun episode, pardon our 5 minute aside about religion and the peril of being aware of one's own existence, the vast majority of this episode is about cannibalism!!!

Give Me Murder #59 - Richard Speck Aug 16, 2018

Did Mark Wahlberg do 9/11? Mostly the episode is about Richard Speck though, most of you probably know who he is, if not it's pretty bad.

Give Me Murder #58 - La Guillotine Aug 02, 2018

GUYS WE'RE SO SORRY!!! We know it's been almost a month since our last episode, we had to live our stupid lives. We also know our stupid lives will end someday, we hope that you can forgive this transgression as we will all be long forgotten someday and all memory of this and other podcasts will cease. Anyway lots of good, clean decapitation in this one! Lena gets a little dark (unusual), Alex makes everyone feel weird (usual), we're back!

Give Me Murder #57 - The Highway of Tears Jul 05, 2018

Lena discusses Canada's problems with its high rate of indigenous women who have been murdered over the decades, and specifically one stretch of highway in British Columbia. The hosts also talk about all kinds of other stuff (duh). What should we have as gifts, etc. for when we launch our patreon?

Give Me Murder #56 - Budd Dwyer Jun 21, 2018

A Pennsylvania legend, if you've never heard of him you're in for a horrible treat. If you have heard of ol' Budd stay tuned for our chat about PA potato chips and all the other stupid stuff we talk about.

Give Me Murder #55 - Dahmer Jun 07, 2018

Yeah, Dahmer. This was a birthday gift from Lena to Alex. Alex's favorite serial killer on his birthday. Also sorry haha lol (kidding for real sorry) we didn't release an episode last week. We've been going through some changes and please listen to our bullshit spiel at the beginning and give us some feedback if you're so inclined, thank you, we love youl

Give Me Murder #54 - Never Love Anyone May 25, 2018

The Jodi Arias story, she stalked, harassed, and ultimately murdered her ex-boyfriend. You can kinda hear a band in the background because our new studio is in a warehouse with a bunch of other studios. So sorry about that, it's not too loud though, and you're gonna die someday so like big scheme not a huge deal.

Give Me Murder #53 - Christman Genniperteinga, 1000 Murders? May 17, 2018

Was there a 16th century German cave dweller/robber/murderer who claimed 964 victims? No one really knows, but we sure talk about it!

Give Me Murder #52 - Edmund Kemper May 10, 2018

We talk about one of America's most infamous serial killers Ed Kemper, the Coed Killer. Many of you are probably familiar with this case, but come along with us as Alex is sick and on dayquil and thus a touch loopy.

Give Me Murder #51- The Toolbox Killers May 03, 2018

This is a horrible, unpleasant, and not funny episode. Sorry about that. We recorded this one over a year ago before we figured out how to toe the line on picking certain crimes and trying to wring humor out of them. So apologies all around on that. We couldn't release a brand new one because life is an unceasing nightmare that constantly throws roadblocks in our way. We thank you for listening. Never die.

Give Me Murder #50 - Cryptidiots Apr 26, 2018

FIFTY! We made it to 50 episodes, thank you to everyone who has listened and stuck with us this far. This episode is about some fake and dumb things that don't actually exist. Lena is perfect, Alex is garbage, stay with us for 50 more

Give Me Murder #49 - American Werewolf in Nowhere Apr 19, 2018

Werewolves, are they real? No. Get ready for an episode where Alex is at a loss for words as Lena regales us all with the wonder of werewolf internet forums. Alex is pretty low energy in this one and characteristically self-conscious, as always Lena is perfect. Thank you for your continued listenership.

Give Me Murder #48 - "Ghost 'Stories'" Apr 05, 2018

In this episode Lena struggles to keep up with Alex's horrible research. Can anyone blame her? No they cannot. This is a meandering look at some really bad and poorly written internet ghost stories by two podcasters just trying to make sense of this godawful world. Enjoy!!

Give Me Murder #47 - *Sigh* Vampires Mar 29, 2018

We start off with Richard Chase, he's well known but talking about him never gets any less terrifying. Then we move on to some other blood suckers Lena found via reddit, the world is a cesspool and Alex melts down over and over again because of how seriously people take vampirism.

Give Me Murder #46 - KISSM (Angels of Death) Mar 22, 2018

Alex hesitates to say something gross, Lena comes up with some killer acronyms, and so much fun is had all around. We also learn about lots of murders of the elderly and infirm.

Give Me Murder #45 - John Edward Robinson Mar 15, 2018

We touch on a lesser known American serial killer from the 80's and 90's.

Give Me Murder #44 - Cannibalism: A Thinkpiece Mar 08, 2018

Is cannibalism bad? Yes, almost undoubtedly, but some people don't think so! If you'd like to hear their opinions this is your episode! Listen to some horrible takes about people eating other people.

Give Me Murder #43 - Ghosts of Pennsylvania Mar 01, 2018

Pennsylvania is where we are from, there is a lot of history here. People think there are ghosts here, there aren't, not here and not anywhere else. But pretending can be fun (Lena is undecided on the issue of ghosts)!

Give Me Murder #42 - Yorkshire Ripper Feb 22, 2018

Not Yorkshire pudding...sorry that's a terrible joke. This is an episode about a brutal serial killer. We ramble for 8+ minutes at the beginning you have been warned! This is a fascinating case of a deranged and delusional psychopath, as well as stifling police ineptitude.

Give Me Murder #41 - ALIVE, Eh...Not Everyone Feb 15, 2018

This is the story of the rugby team that crashed in the Andes mountains and had to eat the dead to survive. Lena chose an episode about cannibalism, without any influence from Alex! Oh joyous day, except for the story itself really. Though it is truly a story of triumphant survival so not amongst our most dismal episodes. But also it's about eating people.

Give Me Murder #40 - President Hotel Room 1046 Feb 08, 2018

An old fashioned murder mystery! In the year 1935 in Kansas City, Missouri a young man checked into the President Hotel, and a whole mess of odd occurrences later he never checks out. Hear about Alex's weird ears and enjoy his several meltdowns!

Give Me Murder #39 - The Central Park Five Feb 01, 2018

What happens when Lena is sick, both your hosts are feeling the sustained existential dread that winter brings with it, and the subject is a gross miscarriage of justice? You get a bummer of an episode! It's the same old story, coerced confessions, the facts don't add up, intense media scrutiny, etc. In this episode we explore the case of the Central Park 5 and remind ourselves about the lack of justice in the world lol! Just kidding about the lol.

Give Me Murder #38 - The Grim Sleeper Jan 25, 2018

Here's one from the vault! Our producer is sick so we couldn't put out a brand new one but you've never heard this, we recorded it early last year when we were just podcast babies. We're still only podcast toddlers...anyway you get the drift, it may sound different than recent ones! This is about a serial killer in Los Angeles that neither of us were familiar with, we hope you enjoy.

Give Me Murder #37 - A Billion Little Cuts Jan 18, 2018

Torture! Brazen bulls, Judas cradles, death by a thousand cuts (aka "A buncha cuts"). This episode is all about ancient and medieval torture and execution methods, and oh boy is it fun.

Give Me Murder #36 - The Night Stalker Jan 11, 2018

Richard Ramirez, you know him, you hate him. This week Alex's awful and negative feelings about murder and death return, how exciting! Lena ruins her day because she reads this story which is well known, but always terrifying.

Give Me Murder #35 - I See (and Make Love to) Dead People Jan 04, 2018

Necrophilia, the entire episode is about necrophilia. Look, it's gross, but it's also really funny! There's no murder in this one just people who died of normal stuff so it's fun! We know though, it's like really, really gross.

Give Me Murder #34 - Gilles de Rais Dec 28, 2017

Gilles de Rais was a compatriot of Joan of Arc, and an important figure in 15th century France, but his main jam was killing kids. Part of this episode is super fun and funny, and part is horrifically dark, please enjoy! We hope you all are having a moneyed holiday season.

Give Me Murder #33 - Reg Christie Dec 21, 2017

Ok so he did actually have a dick, but this Englishman struggled with impotence and was made fun of for it as a child. He was also later injured in a gas attack in WW1, what a winning combination for a well-adjusted adult! This episode includes serial murder, wrongful conviction, and sadness.

Give Me Murder #32 - The Pazzi Conspiracy Dec 14, 2017

It's another story of murder from hundreds of years ago! This is our first visit to Italy, and coincidentally, our first foray into medieval Italian politics!! We're talking about the Pazzi conspiracy and the murder of an important nobleman from one of the most powerful families in Italy at the time. He was killed in a church during mass, and a whole mass of people were killed in his wake as retribution, should be fun!

Give Me Murder #31 - The Hotel of Death Dec 07, 2017

We're gearing up for the holidays with a real bummer of a story! This episode goes over the mysterious death of Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel in LA in 2013. It's not a fun story but it's a very interesting mystery. We also touch upon a few other mysterious deaths at the hotel over the years, and of course Alex mentions that nothing really matters.

Give Me Murder #30 - Katherine Knight Nov 30, 2017

Katherine Knight! If you don't know this story you're about to hear some awful things!! It's hard to say whether Alex's attempts at an Australian accent or the ending to this story is more horrifying. This truly is a terrible, gross, gory episode (but not right away). Thanks for sticking with us we love you.

Give Me Murder #29 - The Winchester Idiot House (And More!!) Nov 16, 2017

The Winchester Mystery house, is it actually a mystery? No. At least not according to Alex. If you like when Alex hates something you will love this episode, and vice versa. Lena did not know this in advance all she did was provide us with a nice podcast topic, she's the best. ALSO: stick around after that story to hear a bonus interview with our producer Harrison!! We figured it'd be nice to hear from him since you guys don't know much about him, enjoy!

Give Me Murder #28 - The Heilbronn Phantom Nov 09, 2017

This we recount the tale of a mysterious female serial killer that haunted Germany for over 15 years. There are lots of twists and turns in this one as well as German accents. If you've never heard this story you're in for a treat as well as meandering and rumination, we love you.

Give Me Murder #27 - Meatballs and Murder (Belle Gunness) Nov 02, 2017

Gravy, meatballs, murder. November is upon us and Thanksgiving approaches so what better time to talk about these 3 Norwegian-American pasttimes. That makes no sense of course but neither does this podcast much of the time. Join us as Lena mispronounces meatballs and Alex latches onto the completely fiction concept of a "gravy servant." This is the story of the famous Belle Gunness, the Norwegian immigrant to the United States suspected of killing many of her suitors and stealing their money.

Give Me Murder #26 - Halloween's Cancelled Oct 26, 2017

It's our extra double special (or whatever the hell I say in the episode) Halloween episode! We wanted to pick something extra gruesome and weird that took place around Halloween, and boy did we do that, we also rambled a lot but hey ain't this whole thing really just a bundle of fun? Murder is bad, look it up. This episode is about a small town in Ohio where a grisly double murder took place in 1995 which prompted the whole town to cancel all Halloween related activities that year, to avoid Satanists, it's pretty interesting.

Give Me Murder #25 - Murder House on the Prairie Oct 19, 2017

The Bloody Benders - a family (but were they?) of 4 is suspected of upwards of 20 murders on the Kansas frontier in the 19th century. This episode is all about free love, family, and actually neither of those it's about 4 psychopaths setting up an insane murder scenario for guests they had in their home. A wholesome tale from the Heartland.

Give Me Murder #24 - Anthony Family Values Oct 13, 2017

Sorry for the late posting! We've had some technical issues in the form of busy lives and vacations and standup comedy tours, but who cares we're all gonna die right lol? Anyway this one is from the deep archive that we recorded about 7 months ago (we have a few more gems that are super dark and not funny that we may release if we find ourselves in a similar bind again). It's about Casey Anthony, you know her, you (probably don't) love her. This is our drunken take (yeah we were drunk for this one hell yeah being alive and being drunk rules!) from so long ago we have no idea what the hell we talked about but we hope you enjoy it!

Give Me Murder #23 - Whoops! Failed Assassination Attempts Oct 05, 2017

Three stories of famous failed assassination attempts. Sure they all lived but eventually the targets all died from other causes (as everyone does) so this is staying true to the podcast thematically. It's on brand!

Give Me Murder #22 - Ghosts Can't Be Scary if They're Not Real Sep 28, 2017

We got ghost stories! Lena provides with a real treat of some pretty cool stories that Alex obnoxiously takes to task. If you believe in ghosts you might hate Alex, but you will love Lena she's great. Oh also skip ahead to 3 minutes if you don't want Game of Thrones spoilers, sorry that's all Lena's fault Alex had nothing to do with it! Also the second half of this episode is a companion episode to #16.

Give Me Murder #21 - L'Affaire des Poisons Sep 21, 2017

The Affair of the Poisons, it's just like it sounds! Affairs, poisons, and guess what also magic and spells and whatnot. And don't forget about the murder, so much murder. This is the captivating story of a surge in poisonings in 17th century France under Louis XIV. Court intrigue, adultery, real weird magic stuff, we got it all.

Give Me Murder #20 - Never Take a Cruise Sep 14, 2017

Lena brings us two sad and compelling stories of disappearances on cruise ships. Never go on a cruise, only bad things happen, and Disney is evil.

Give Me Murder #19 - All About Exorcism! Sep 07, 2017

We cannot stress enough how much Alex does not believe in the supernatural. Please enjoy as he lays into an exorcist who did an interview in Cosmo of all places. Also listen to various stories about exorcisms from around the world and how they go wrong (which is always)!

Give Me Murder #18 - Jonestown Aug 31, 2017

The story of Jim Jones and where it all went wrong (there were a lot of issues from the start). Lena chose to do our first cult episode! It's a fascinating story with a horrifying end. We also go off on a tangent about the events in Charlottesville we couldn't help it!

Give Me Murder #17 - Spa Day! The Acid Bath Murderer Aug 24, 2017

Don't lock your kids in a small garden, or do! Everyone's screwed so it doesn't really matter what you do or don't do! But don't be weird to your kids because they might grow up to dissolve people in acid! This one's a real dang doozy guys!

Give Me Murder #16 - Moore Family Axe Murders Aug 17, 2017

The Moore family and 2 guests were brutally murdered with an axe in Iowa in 1912. Join us for a little fire and brimstone, with a light helping of Alex reiterating how stupid he thinks the idea of ghosts is.

Give Me Murder #15 - The Stupid Death of Tycho Brahe Aug 10, 2017

Tycho Brahe was a famous astronomer and a very weird dude, he also died in such a dumb way. Also be sure to enjoy as Lena and Alex briefly explore the mystery of existence and mortality (AKA Alex goes off on an insane tangent but also it was Lena's idea to start a podcast in the first place so there's plenty of blame to go around). Have fun listeners we love you!

Give Me Murder #14 - A Myriad Murder Medley Aug 03, 2017

This week Lena provides us with a number of different stories about murders and one dumb way to die involving a cactus. Other stories cover the gamut, from Avril Lavigne to a fake CIA agent, this week is all about variety (and murder and death).
