Pull over and gird your loins, Fam, because this one is NUTS and we have a lot of feelings bout it! In 2004, a 64-year-old man is found bloody, beaten AND YES NAKED behind a dumpster in Richmond Hills, Georgia. He claimed complete and total amnesia. As in he said he had no idea whatsoever who he was, how he got there, or anything else. EXCEPT FOR EXACTLY 22 MEMORIES THAT END AT SOME POINT IN THE YEAR 1978. Ummmm, OK! And thus begins the journey of trying to solve the mystery of this man who SWEARS HE'S NOT AN AX MURDERER... which is exactly what an ax murderer would say.

FAM! We'll have Part 2 of our coverage here in the regular feed next week, but if you don't want to wait, it's also available right now, early and ad-free, as a special bonus for all Patreon members!

FAM! We're off for for the holiday break, but while we're away we're sharing the first episode of our Patreon coverage of Murder in Glitterball City here! Check it out, and then find the rest of our episodes over at our Patreon page!

Fam, we're off to Louisville - or, as apparently NO ONE CALLS IT, "Glitterball City." We're in a part of town that's known for being both spooky, with historic and possibly haunted houses, and fabulous (!), with an influx of gay residents. But the neighborhood is shocked in 2010 when a body is discovered in the basement of Joey and Jeffrey's house. Taken in for questioning, the two men have... wildly different versions of what happened.
