Original Episode Description

Things are getting weird this week—and that’s saying something.

We’re joined by the delightfully bizarre minds behind

Weird True Crime

for a very special guest episode. Together, we form the

Roundtable of Weird

, where strange dilemmas, dumb criminals, and questionable life choices are always on the menu.

Trevin kicks things off with an existential crisis involving his life partner, ChatGPT. Is his unrelenting politeness costing the planet millions in server strain? Will he risk environmental ruin in the name of kindness? Meanwhile, Amanda escorts Lyla to her first karate competition, where she’s baffled by the tournament's poker-chip-based economy and baffling logistics.

The Weird True Crime duo enters the chat with their own personal weirdness. Amber’s husband has become a walking billboard for his job, refusing to wear anything

but

his work uniform. Gina, on the other hand, keeps forgetting one crucial thing at the grocery store—salt. Weeks of underseasoned food have left her flavor-deprived and full of regret.

Then it’s time for the main event: a four-person crime story showdown. Trevin and Amanda dig into petty crimes too short for a full episode, while the Weird True Crime crew brings us the finest dumb criminal tales straight outta Texas. You’ll hear about:

Alex Van Duyn and the mysterious gifts from the

Portland Pisser

83-year-old Lillie McClendon weaponizing

sausage water

A feathery vandal terrorizing Rockport, Massachusetts

A mischievous dog embarking on a crime spree in McAllen, Texas

Avante Nicholson’s drug-dealing Easter/420 promotion campaign

Tamain Marquell Williams double-fisting a beer and coffee because he

doesn’t have time for that

Annamae Cabalsa Martinez calling AAA—

during

a high-speed police chase

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile getting a

frank

warning in Waukesha, Wisconsin

There’s a whole lot of dumb, weird, and wonderful packed into this episode. So pull up a chair, grab your beverage of choice, and get ready to join the weirdest roundtable in true crime podcasting.
