Is Rob Mahoney the most normal man at The Ringer? Debatable. But we are sure that he’s our guest today and down to get weird with Jason and Tyler. On the agenda today: a French aristocrat accused of murdering his family who became a fugitive, Jason’s top 10 fugitives still on the loose, a discussion about the Fort Hood shooter’s execution, and a lengthy debate about Shrek’s, umm, anatomy.
Terror Month continues and we’re looking upward to the skies. Jason and Tyler use last week’s wild flydubai story to discuss other harrowing aviation incidents before hitting updates on the Siberian plague situation, Christa Pike’s botched execution, and more.
Wait a Second… is kicking off Terror Month with the most terrifying idea of all: nuclear annihilation. Following news last month that an AI chatbot nearly got us into a war with China, Jason and Tyler look back at the early-’80s incidents that nearly brought the Cold War to a boil. With the help of The Ringer’s Joel Anderson, they talk NORAD and real-life war games.
Jason and Tyler are back and they're breaking down one of the most mysterious cases in American history: the murder of Lizzie Borden's parents. With the help of producer Justin, they look into the case against Lizzie, alternative suspects, and why the story was ripe for an adaptation in Ryan Murphy's Netflix series 'Monster.'Then, they look at one of the most messed-up cases they've seen recently: the R.C. Horsch investigation in Philadelphia. Are we looking at a serial killer situation?
Seems like a lot of you buy into the WTC Building 7 conspiracies. So, we’re diving back in. Jason and Tyler are joined by friend of the show Big Wos to break down your Building 7 comments, Osama Bin Laden theories, and more.
