20 JUN 2024 · This week we're back with Gina in the co-host seat, and we're off to Australia... Because Australia goes hard. In this case, Douglas Crabbe certainly went hard, in the sense he drive a very large Mack truck, at speed, into the side of a very small bar. And all this happened in the middle of the Australian outback, which just makes it so much worse. Along the way, we also talk about what exactly qualifies as a serious injury in Australia, young bowsers and scumbags, and finally, how to get kicked out of every roadhouse in the country. It's a fun one.

4 JUN 2024 · This week we have Gina back for an episode, and wow, did we ever pick a fun one. This episode is all about fetal abduction, and if you're not sure exactly what that is, you are very lucky. Because we are going to talk about what it is, how much it happens, and how it's done. And along the way, we'll also talk about the band Ghost, the (theoretical) most depressed pregnant woman in history, and state sponsered fetal theft. Go big or go home.

28 MAY 2024 · This week, we're back to cover a war story, but it's my kind of war story. The kind where nothing goes right, there's no heroism, and hundreds end up dead. This is the story of Operation Tiger, a practice run of the D-Day landings during WW2, and this disaster damn near blew the whole plan a month before the big show. We also have a guest host covering for Gina for this episode, so please welcome Bill Selby from Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer as we talk about bad plans, terrible communication, getting shot at, fight, flight or freeze, and why warships named after flowers is always a bad idea.

21 MAY 2024 · This week, we finally wrap up the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres series, and we drop right into the story of Dany Kane, a Hell's Angels member/ hitman as well as an RCMP informant. From there, we move on to listing off all the failures of the RCMP during the massacres as well as afterwards. Finally, we finish off by giving our two cents on what happened and why people should still be pissed off.

14 MAY 2024 · We're back for part 7 of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacre, because this story never ends (this was supposed to be the final episode, but we got rant-y and it became a two parter). In this episode, we cover the official investigations into the RCMP's response to the massacre and their total lack of effectiveness. From there, we spin off into some speculation about what the hell actually happened, before we get into the story of Danny Kane, a high ranking Hell's Angel member and hitman who also worked as an RCMP informant.
Along the way, we also talk tactical officers appearing on your lawn, how the RCMP can tank a criminal case if they feel like it, intimidating fire halls, and flamboyant drug dealers.

7 MAY 2024 · This week, we're back for part six of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres, because this is the story that never ends. In this episode, we talk about the transcripts of 911 calls made from Portipique during the night of the massacres, as well as finally getting to the story told by Gabriel Wortman's spouse Lisa Banfield, or at least, the story we can piece together from the snippets of her statements that have been released. To finish off, we get into the structure of the RCMP and it's systemic problems, all of which were on display during the massacres. And along the way, we become very problematic with... well, you'll hear.

30 APR 2024 · This week, we're back for part five of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres, and in this episode, we really get into the sketchy side of Gabriel Wortman's life. This includes his ties to some shady characters, his life long side quest as a smuggler, his love of guns (most of which were illegal in Canada), and his propensity to brag to anyone and everyone about his criminal activities. We also talk about his relationship with Lisa Banfield, as well as his very interesting personal life. And along the way, we also talk about Pablo Escobar's interest in New Brunswick, awkward family vacations that end in violence, and family reunions that end with even more violence.

23 APR 2024 · We're back for part four of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacre, and in this episode, we focus on some of the accounts of survivors of the attacks, and the connections between the victims and the gunman (as well as more ranting about the RCMP). Along the way, we talk about Ol Dirty Bastard, the delicate nature of going on vacation as a side guy, and how not to stand guard in an armoured car.

20 APR 2024 · This week, we're back for part four of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres, and this is where the gunman Gabriel Wortman is finally stopped by the RCMP. And the way he's stopped raises some questions (which we will talk about), as does how the RCMP reacted in the hours and days after the massacres. Along the way, we talk about concussions, helicopters, trauma informed investigations, and why if you're being hunted by someone, it's ok to shoot them.

9 APR 2024 · This week, we're back for part 2 of the 2020 Nova Scotia Massacres, and this episode focuses on the second part of the massacres on the morning of April 19, 2020. During this series of massacres, massacre-ist Gabe Wortman travelled over a disturbing amount of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia and killed nine more people to bring his total to 22.
We'll also cover how the RCMP spent the morning unable to get in front of Wortman, and how it seemed, at best, completely unable to make a cohearant decision in trying to catch him. Along the way, we talk about emergency alerts (or the lack there of), roadblocks (or the lack there of), and quite possibly the worst police chase ever.

20 MAR 2023 · Hi, and welcome to our Patreon. This episode is a strange one, but a fun one. This is a cautionary tale about what happens when engineers are allowed to run wild, and in this case, it's with a Formula One race car. In the 60's, when safety meant little. Or in this case, wasn't even a consideration. Buckle up, it's the story of the Honda RA302.

16 FEB 2023 · Hey everyone, in this TinyWorst, we cover a backwoods castration! Because why not? A man, who has decided to remain anonymous, voluntarily had his testicles removed by two men with little to no reason to be castrating anyone. So this story is right up our alley!

2 FEB 2023 · This week is a terrible one, so as my mother said, forewarned is forearmed. In 1964, a mentally ill German man lost his grip on reality and decided to lash out. With a homemade flamethrower. On an elementary school. And it's as bad as you'd expect.

14 JAN 2023 · Hello, and thank you for making it to our Patreon! This week, we're covering the strange story of a serial killer from way back in the day, and this dude was just a brain damaged killing machine... who wasn't quite sure how many he killed, but he was sure it was more than the eight he was suspected of murdering. Join us as we tell the story of Asbury Respus.
We’re just a true crime comedy podcast done by a weird married couple that finds this type of stuff awful, but funny.
