Main Corpse

In this episode, we didn't try any snacks, we were snackless. It's very sad. However, we do have some short B Roll for you to enjoy.Then, Kelsey somehow brings us ANOTHER WWII animal story, Another WWII DOG story. This time, she tells of a very Great Dane named Juliana, a dog owned by a modern day Job apparently. During the Blitz, the major German bombing of Britain, Juliana prevented a bomb explosion in her house, saving her owner. Two years later she would save her family a second time, earning herself two Blue Cross medals.Your crazy Creeps also talk about cats, divine intervention, copying adventure archaeologist movies, and Kelsey's love of Pedro.

For this episode, there's no food portion, no cafe, diner, nor dive. Just an audience that loves cryptids and weird stuff along for the ride with us. Kelsey and Matt present this beast live at this year's Mythic Realms Convention in Philippi, WV where we interview James L. Rickard, author of several adventure and science fiction novels, such as My Pet Zombie, and The Windmill Portal. He joins us for the entire recording of the panel, as Matt delves into history and sightings of several mysterious creatures and cryptids around our state, as Kelsey plays a guessing game. We covered black panthers (black mountain lions of WV), freshwater octopus, flying manta rays, and Veggie Man.The Creeps also talk about UFO's, nerds, ghosts, jabbering, trees, and everything in-between!

There's Grape and Strawberry so far.Then, Matt talks about a man in Keyser, WV who has been accused of allegedly murdering his brother in May of this year. The interesting part is 100% what the guy's name is. Possibly also how he talked on the call about how he wouldn't give an answer until police arrived...Your fantastic hosts also talk about peak Reese cup freshness, police scanners, the town of Big Ugly folks in bars, and summer berry seeds. The Creeps have ghosts in their studio. Matt should be nice to them. Article credit from WBOY.www.wboy.com/news/crime/man-named-michael-myers-charged-with-murder-in-mineral-county/

In this episode, we give you a couple of recordings once thought to be lost, but Britte found them!For this one, the creeps tried Waterloo sparkling water, in the new Flavortown themed lineup, said it was Spiced Mango but we're not sure we believe them. Kelsey isn't a fan of any water that sparkles, but we didn't let that stop us. We also tried 7-Up Tropical, if you can find that one anywhere, go for it. Then, we've got Matt telling us all about Minecraft, the new movie they've made, and all the shenanigans surrounding it. Tune in to hear Kelsey exclaim, "Was that a LIVE CHICKEN?"The Creeps apologize to Canada for Matt's accent, and talk about guava hatred, summertime nostalgia beverages, horror movies coming out soon, and their Guy Fieri obsessions.

Main St. Open Tue-Sun 4-9 PM.Here's what we tried:14" pizza with house made sauce, pepperoni, sausage, and black olivesThen, the Martians are coming! Matt brings a well known fable back from the 30s. In October of 1939, just before Halloween, the folks at CBS wanted to cook up something special to scare the kiddies young and old, and they definitely did. Matt goes into detail on the panic and mass hysteria caused by the Orson Welles radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, a false reporting long before the eras of the fake serial, the mockumentary, or found footage. Matt also goes into the wild broadcast aftermath that happened later in Quito, Ecuador.They also talk about silly geese, the classics, WWII weirdness, giant offset trucks, and the infamous missing food from Episode 46...

The case remains unsolved as of recording. Matt also gets political talking about Chevrolet. Note: there is an odd interference noise near the end just before the outro, unsure what that was, unable to edit out.

There's still a chill in the crisp Spring air, as your lovely Creeps try new flavors of Sprite Chill: Strawberry Kiwi and Cherry Lime! One of them is zero, I don't remember which one, don't ask me. We also tried Chester's Cheddar Jalepeno popcorn after drinking soda, instead of washing it down because we're crazy people.Then, Matt reads a very recent NPR headline about a babysitter, at a family's home in Kansas, checking under the child's bed for "monsters" and finding a real person under there instead. Kelsey then tells a brief story about a weird dasher.The Creeps also talk about hardcore cough drops, rollin with the Coke Boiz, the perfection of all things cherry limeade, Kelsey hopping onto the forgetting allergies train Britt is already a conductor on, price rage, falling for weird classic advertising, and killing Matt with Kiwi unsuccessfully.

Shoutout to Liz Pavlovic who recommended Ritzy to us oh so long ago, and our apologies if we said your name wrong, our Editor shares the pain of the long name...

A big fake round of applause for our episode this week. The Creeps try an absurd assortment of Krispy Kreme donuts, all Pop Tart themed, in the following delightful flavors: Frosted Strawberry with shortbread, Chocolatey Fudge with brownie batter buttercreme, and Brown Sugar Cinnamon with a brown sugar cinnamon cream cheese buttercreme. We can die happy now.Then, Matt has updates to a local story about a tractor trailer and car collision on the Cheat Lake Bridge in Morgantown, WV during this year's blustery January snowstorms, and the death that occurred when the car plunged into the Lake below.His update includes details about the Phoenix Police's arrest of the wrong person.The Creeps also talk about perks if you pay up, search teams, Morgantown driving on a good day, Kelsey slanders buttercream again, and Matt quits.

This week, Kelsey makes you thirsty. The Creeps try two different wonderful sodas: Dr. Pepper Blackberry Zero Sugar, and also Coca-Cola Orange Cream Zero Sugar. I only mentioned one of these sodas in the title because the Orange Cream pop removes joy and vitality from all it touches.Then, Matt delves into his love of cars and how he doesn't want your precious Dodge Charger or gross Kia to be stolen, taken for a joy ride by idiots who can all too easily break in and take your ride for a spin. The main example Matt gives us comes from downtown Atlanta, where three kids were arrested after stealing and then crashing a Dodge Charger.The Creeps also talk about lying, Funcles, swear words, gummy snacking from your kid's stash, Vanilla Coke texture, criminal baby cats, and flavor that won't leave, like an unwanted guest in your mouth house.

This week, Kelsey gives you a deep dive of everything she discovered at the 2025 Festival of the Arts at Disney World. She tried scores of wondrously crafted entrees and desserts from pop-up vendors all around EPCOT, too many to mention here.Then, Kelsey gives us updates on the Supreme Court's decisions concerning New York Times v. Sullivan, a landmark case of the 60s that shored up protections of First Amendment freedoms of Speech and the Press, specifically the press and its ability to investigate prominent people without fear of defamation suits. Recently mogul Steve Winn wanted the historic libel law ruling to be overturned.They also talk about the heaven that is pimento cheese, Matt getting hangry from texts, fancy rope dropping with friends, breaking through the density of pound cake, drinking without stirring, and Matt briefly shared when he excitedly got his hands on some intensely smooth Elijah Craig 18 year aged bourbon.

Little else is known nor can be confirmed for sure, seriously...The Creeps also talk about traffic helicopters, dragons, and better names for that big cup. Kelsey brings up her dream Three Musketeers again.

This week, road rage is the real crime. The Creeps ate Taki's that Britt found. We tasted Waves Dragon Sweet Chili potato chips, and original Blue Heat Takis for some reason.Then Kelsey gives Matt a local story of Cassie Sheetz, a hiker who had gone missing in the Mon National Forest in 2021, until what were believed to be her remains were discovered. Kelsey also goes into the recent closure of the case with charges dropped and no further investigation of the men who were around Cassie around the time of her disappearance.The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System database mentioned on the show is available at namus.nij.ojp.govThe Creeps also talk about Dracula, heat extremity, jerk motorists, discovering new likes, being cooped up in the snow, and blowin'

They also talk about showing up late to baked goods, eating the wrong thing you picked up off the plate, being unapologetic to an editor that has to hear a heater running when it's cold, and the Creeps are left dumbfounded and speechless by the deliciousness of maybe the best bread we've ever had.

This week, the Creeps are trying out hot pepper maple syrup from Spruce Knob Maple, they poured it all over some pepperoni pizza. You can find a variety of their syrups by visiting Cardinal Market in Bridgeport's Meadowbrook all, or visiting their website, Spruceknobmaple.com Then Matt covers the recent release of cctv footage from London that may be looked at in the case of the death of renowned drag queen legend Heklina in 2023. There's still not a lot of information on this story, but we wanted to get the word out there. Peaches Christ, aka Joshua Grannell, long time collaborator and friend of the deceased, said in an article, "To get the London Police to take more action has been something Nancy and I have been pushing for since the tragedy began. Why has it taken this long? There is so much more to this story that will have to be told." If you have any information on the three men last seen around the area, please do not hesitate to contact proper authorities in the UK. The Met Police is asking anyone with information in connection to Heklina's death to call 101 quoting CAD1824/03Apr23 The Creeps also mention cute tiny bottles, horror movies, the Last Drive In, and Matt missing his cue. We promise Matt will teach Kelsey who all the actors mentioned are, eventually...

We're frozen. Your Creeps have turned to ice, unable to meet together in person to record. So they gather using modern technology to talk about recent food they've managed to try on warmer days. This involves burgers and a lot of soup. We review tasty delights from our local favorites: soup options at Leonard's in Grafton, and salad and an enormous chicken sandwich from Onyx in Fairmont. Then, Matt tells of a very old cold case. He talks about the Wickenburg massacre, involving the murder of six during a stagecoach robbery in Arizona in the 1870s. They also discuss who was alleged to carry out the crime during the day, but also who might have been actually responsible, and the politics at play. They also talk about definitely eating food, small towns, fun appetizers, desert heat, and local dateline.

This week, we're back with more Zapp's! This time, we're trying Zapp's classic tart and spiced Voodoo flavor on their thick and buttery Pretzel Stix. Then Kelsey travels way past the holidays to give us the tale of an odd tradition in Lima, Peru, where police dress in costume during the holidays, including during raids. She details a video where police raided a suspected drug trafficking gang hideout, accompanied by an officer in full Grinch garb, head to toe green furry costume, wearing Santa's jacket with sledgehammer in hand. This Grinch stole Christmas from the drug dealers. The video is a must-watch. Also, the Creeps talk about digging for crumb dust, Scruff McGruff the Crime Dog, wanting local police to step up their costume game, and Matt being unprepared yet adored by fans?

This episode has everything, except for cats. They also talk about New Year's snacking of buffalo chicken dip, a shared intense love of the funkiest cheeses, "hear me out" cake, Matt's distrusting nature of his cohost whilst Matt talks about waiting 40 days and nights for your biblical tequila, followed by Matt and Kelsey's fancasting of who would play Guy, Sammy, Kelsey, and himself in the eventual movie about the heist. Sure you've heard of Superwholock, now get ready for Mainlock. Also, yes. Once again our Editor tried to kill Kelsey with food. PLEASE CONTACT MATT ABOUT PROCURING PAPPY

This week, we're about to start this New Year off right with a jolt, a boost, recharging our batteries with the AriZona x Fallout collab Vault Tec Green Tea Energy Drink. Kelsey bought a big ole 12pk Variety Pack of these gigantic cans that come in 3 Flavors: Red Apple, Georgia Peach, and Pomegranate, all of which are also a lightly carbonated Green tea. The Editor wanted to make sure you know it says "lightly carbonated" right on the can so you don't throw yourself off with the flavor experience like they did. Then Matt shares the story of a bank robbery that occurred in Westover (around Morgantown), WV in the fall of 2024. This robbery potentially involves a local wanted suspect, whose identity is as of current date unknown to the public, that may be wanted in several other states for other charges. Story credit: Ben Conley, Dominion Post Also, the Creeps also talk about the Amazon Prime Fallout show, Matt's kiwi allergy, spy movie face changes, and losing "It".

This week, the Creeps celebrate once again by making holiday sweets.

Our story on this Christmas Eve special is The Phantom Hag, Author is unknown

This week, we're festive for the holidays yet again. The Creeps try Sprite's new limited edition Winter Spiced Cranberry flavor. If you see this somewhere, you better grab some, it seems to be flying off shelves. Kelsey says, buy orange sherbet, make punch! Then Matt shares the story of a real life hamburglar in Augusta, Maine, a wild incident that occurred in the drive thru of a McDonald's in 2012. Burgers were stolen, police were called, hijinks were had. Also, Matt gets real funky fresh in honor of the Durst, and he's unfortunately and temporarily lost his sense of smell unless the sprite gods ripped cheated him. Also also, HORSE! Kelsey tells of a horse in front of her in her own McDonald's drive thru tale.

This week, the Creeps try a tasty burger from Aboo's Burger, a mainstay located in the food court of the Meadowbrook Mall at 2399 Meadowbrook Mall Rd, Bridgeport, WV. Open daily 10am-9pm, Sun 11am-6pm.Here's what we tried: classic gyro with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a garlicky tzatziki sauce (Be sure to try their chicken shawarma too!)Then, Kelsey covers the story of the Sodder family, whose house mysteriously burned down on Christmas Eve, 1945 in Fayetteville, WV. Shortly after the events, the family started to question the official report that their children had died in the fire. What followed was a decades long search for the truth.The creeps also talk about staying in the groove, being best friends, 1800s name changes, and possible origins of Matt's favorite hotdog.

This week, we're staying festive for the holidays. The Creeps try a few new creations from Little Debbie themed around their classic Christmas Tree Cake. They taste a white and red North Pole Nutty Buddy and then festive striped Christmas Tree Cake themed soft cake donuts. Then Kelsey tells the tail of a sworn police officer who stole the lunch of a coworker when his back was turned. The sensational betrayal occured recently in the police department of Wyandotte, Michigan. And it was pup-etrated by a member of their K-9 unit. That's right, the very dogs we trust to protect us couldn't protect a simple sandwich. Also, Matt's mad about missing sprinkles, weird booktok, and our hosts attack Deb.

This week, the Creeps try a cheesy assortment from local bar and grill Whiskey Biscuits, located at 254 Emily Dr, Clarksburg, WV. Open Sun-Thur 8-8, Fri-Sat 8am-9pm. Here's what we tried: WV style hotdog, classic smash burger, fried potato kegs, cheese grits Then,  Matt shares part two on the life and death of Elizabeth Short, also known as the Black Dahlia. Matt talks about the initial investigation, suspects, and the public and media response. They also talked about William Randolph Hearst, and newspaper sensationalism of the 40s.

Prepare yourself, this one has the best intro ever. The Creeps test the limits of nature, we're drinking Oreo Coke, a Coca-Cola that is Oreo Cookie flavored. Yeah.Then, ripped from the TikTok headlines, Kelsey brings Matt a story from New York, in which a Department of Transportation driver struck an 86 year old former mobster-turned-baker, while the man was walking in the street. The force of the impact decapitated the unfortunate pedestrian, with the driver inconsolable staying at the scene until others arrived. The person who was killed happened to be a former member of the Genovese crime family as a mob captain. According to an article, one police source told the New York Post: “He spent his life looking over his shoulder, but he forgot to look both ways before crossing the street.” Also, the Creeps talk about being a cool guy, making mixed drinks in your mouth, blue apes, soda bubbles, and Matt gets Snakey.

In this episode, the Creeps try a couple flavors of Skittles Drinks, a non-carbonated bright and colorful concoction that is flavored like you're eating Skittles. Our hosts tried "Sour" which was nicely tart and reminded us of vampire'ing our teeth into the foil of a little hug drink, and "Original" which I guess tasted original...Then, to whom it may concern STOP Matt relays an odd tale of a woman, Ricki Smith, from Kentucky STOP Who was told in her brain? STOP by Kanye West using little taps on a table maybe? STOP Telegraphically and not telepathically... to take a car. Yeezy has been accused of the wizardly arts of Telegraphy STOP They also talk about sweet moves, spit takes, long pauses and Matt sings a little bit.

This week, the Creeps came back from all the festivities of their second invite as judges to Taste of Bridge Day, a massive event that coincides with all the other Bridge Day events of the weekend. A fundraiser to benefit Canyon Rim Rotary Club, this yearly event is located at Adventures on the Gorge. Plan early next year, as they usually sell out of tickets. We tried every item at the event and go into a good bit of detail in the episode, including the winners. Visit Officialbridgeday.com/taste-of-bridge-day for more information. 2024 Winners were as follows: Best Snack: Bumbler Bee Baker / The Cake BoxBest Appetizer: Smokey'sBest Entree: The Gaines EstateBest Dessert: Smokey'sYouth's Choice: The TablePeople's Choice: The TableThen,  Matt talks about Elizabeth Short, also known as the woman who was murdered in 1947 in Leimert Park in Los Angeles, which famously became the Black Dahlia killing. This mysterious murder and mutilation is still unsolved nearly eighty years later. The Creeps also wish you a Happy Halloween, talk about our love of cheese, full pepperoni rolls, being exhausted from Spooky Season events, and explain more about what Bridge Day encompasses, including catapulting folks off a giant bridge.

In this episode, the Creeps get creepy in Spooky Season, by trying not one, but TWO ghostly and ghastly flavors of bright saccharine soda goodness. First, we try the 2024 Mystery Flavor of Mountain Dew's now famous VooDew line. It's safe to say they were very unsure on solving the mystery but they definitely loved it. Then, we say this soda's name three times in hopes he'll appear. We tried the Beetlejuice Haunted Apple Fanta that reminded us of spiced caramel apples, and it is so monstrously green you'll have to grab one just to see it.Then, Kelsey gives us another story ripped from the headlines of the TikTok For You Page... This story is one from TikTok itself, where a widespread viral video made the claim that you could get free money from Chase Bank ATM's if you did an odd (bad) thing with checks. Spoiler alert, you could not, but you could end up with a free trip to jail. The Creeps also talk about 90s potpourri, dumb criminals, and putting some more zhuzh on top of it.

Reminder: The Creeps will be back at Bridge Day this year as guests for Taste of Bridge Day. See you out on the Gorge!This week, the Creeps try beautiful cupcakes from Bonnie Belle's, a classic bakery from Clarksburg, their newer shop located at 20 Shaner Dr, Bridgeport, WV. Open M-F 7:30 AM- 6:00 PM and Saturdays 8-3.Here's what we tried: A frosted sugar cookie and an absurd assortment of cupcakes: s'mores, apple filled, classic white cake, and a chocolate raspberry that Matt ended up enjoying (He is not a fruit filling guy)Then, Matt treats you to an experimental episode, ripped from the tweets, a recent development in festivals gone wrong: We're covering the botched debauchery of the Detroit Bridgerton inspired Ball, a meetup for super fans of the Netflix series that occurred around late August, where fans didn't at all get what they originally signed up for due to shady business practices on a large scale.The Creeps also talk about youth and their tic tacs, vacation brain fog, ponies, lots of holiday growth, budget weddings, and being frantic at the last minute. Tweets Credit: Rachel Eaton @rayleearts 

In this episode, the Creeps try a candy bar that is "a ghostly sheet of cinnamon toast flavored creme" that is definitely not... supposed to taste like cinnamon toast crunch cereal, so it doesn't. Don't even ask whether it for sure does.Then, Kelsey gives us the solid golden story of a warehouse worker in Australia that stole a whole dragon hoard's worth of limited edition Australian currency coins that are themed like the kids show, Bluey. He allegedly stole $600k AUD worth of the coins (nearly $400k USD) before he was arrested in Sydney. If you have any information leading authorities to the whereabouts of the rest of the coins, they're asking you to contact Australian Crimestoppers. Never forget that this episode is where the Creeps came up with the term "Matt'irondack chair" and society is better for it. The Creeps also talk about trick or treaters, sweet kangaroo karate moves, toilet science, the "Keepy Uppy game" and Matt's objective to call folks "bandit" again.

This week, Kelsey comes back to us from the Healing Appalachia event. If you don't know about the great work going on with that festival, please look it up. Incredible bands playing in support of one of the most important causes in our state, addiction recovery. Kelsey brought home some pickles from the West Virginia Pickle Guy, followed by jerky for us to try from Cane Creek Jerky, handcrafted locally sourced jerky from Lexington, Kentucky. Kelsey, Matt, and even the Editor rated the pickles and the jerky so very high. Here's what we tried: "dang good" Pineapple Habanero sliced pickles, just the softest Spicy Beef Jerky everThen, Matt talks about an event that happened 30 years ago, August of 1994, around Oakville Washington. You gotta tell all your friends about this one, we think it's much bigger and far more bizarre than the meat rain incident of similar repute. An event that involved blobs of unknown origin and material makeup, which fell from the skies onto everything below, covering an area around twenty square miles across a period of three weeks. The Creeps also talk about the Derby, grabbing chips, Sicily being pictured, bee weather, and cute dogs at events. Also the Editor gets sweet revenge around eight minutes in.

In this episode, the Creeps drink two new Nestle Sensations cereal and waffle themed milks, not sure flavored is the right word. We tried one that is Frosted Flakes, the other is Eggo waffles and syrup. You be the judge on whether you find these sweets to be treats or tricks, dream or nightmare.  Then, Matt tells Kelsey about an awful occurrence over and under a bridge in Chicago, that is well known as "Poopgate" or the Dave Matthews Band Bus Incident, although that one makes it sound far less gross and odd than it is. On August 8, 2004, twenty years ago, the operator of a tour bus belonging to Dave Matthews Band unloaded around 800 pounds of human waste from the bus, through the Kinzie Street Bridge into the river. However, this waste also landed directly onto tourists riding in an open-top passenger sightseeing boat that happened to be sailing by underneath. Do we need to remind y'all that DMB wrote a song called Don't Drink the Water...
