A hero with a hatchet takes the internet by storm and surfs too close to the sun. Showbiz people get involved, hubris charts its inevitable path, and the ugliness of violence snubs out a potential star. This really is one of the craziest episodes Muriel has ever put together.

Massage parlors in Madison, Wisconsin of the 1970s and 80s were red hot and ice cold. Muriel greases us up with a classic tale of orgies, murders, Quaaludes, and the evil side of biochemistry.

Eating humans, drinking booze, robbing gold, escaping the law, cross country murder sprees, Mormon vigilantes, the bribery of an entire town and a renegade crooked sheriff who briefly controlled the state of Montana. We're heading to the Wild West for the eyebrow-raising tale of Levi Boone Helm the Kentucky Cannibal. Muriel read "The Kentucky Cannibal: The True Story of an Outlaw, Murderer and Man-Eater" by Ryan Greene for this one. She fact checked a bunch of it, and it's gnarly. If you appreci...

A suave preacher, all his murdered family members, accusations of voodoo, and literary royalty get thrown into Muriel’s brew this week. Toying with Nick’s highfalutin tendencies, Muriel read Casey Cep’s “Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee” and tells the tale of six brutal deaths and how the impossible, grumpy genius who authored “To Kill a Mockingbird” went back down south and attempted to write a book about the whole ordeal. Pinkies up! As a companion 2-parter, check...

Meet the couple who knew nothing about sailing except that you could buy an old boat, teach yourself how to fix it up, and sail away from all the bummers of your life.

Enter a life of Magellan-style wisdom, Moroccan pirates, machetes, and marriages held hostage to the sea.

Henry ends, and then Muriel tells us how he began. It ain’t pretty, but it’s the finale and there are fireworks galore - the disturbing kind of fireworks that kinda look like mutilated animals, broken homes, lost kids, and injustice served. Stick around and find out if you and Nick are thinking about the same thing at the very end, and see if you can sneak “confabulation” into your vocabulary. It’s a scary episode and we have to have some fun and games, right? This is it. The fifth and final par...
