Welcome back ladies and gents to a dangerous episode. Dalton continues to Kill His Darlings in the most violent way possible — by taking them to Basin City. That's right, Dalton's third pick, and something of a cheat, is a trip to Frank Miller's Sin City. The anthology of gritty black-and-white tales called out to a young teen Dalton, but they might have aged like milk. We talk Miller, misogyny, and much, much more as we enter the city limits of Sin City. Did we miss a take? Let us know by emailing goodtrashgenrecast@gmail.com, and remember to subscribe to keep up with Dalton's sacrificial journey next week.

Frank Miller is one of the most influential—and controversial—creators in comic book history. With the release of his new memoir, we couldn't wait to dive in. Part autobiography and part creative playbook, Miller reflects on the defining moments of his life and career while pulling back the curtain on the storytelling techniques behind some of comics' most iconic works. In the conversation, we unpack our biggest takeaways from the book, revisit Miller's unforgettable stories from Daredevil, The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, and beyond, and delight in his candid recollections of 1970s New York City, learning from Neal Adams and collaborating with industry legends like Jenette Kahn and Dick Giordano. Along the way, we ask the bigger questions: What surprised us most? What did we learn about Miller's creative process? And were there important moments from his remarkable career that he chose to leave on the cutting-room floor—for better or worse?
1 Corinthians 8:1-13 | The Church in Sin City, Part 8 | 8/2/2026 | Pastor Tony Shen. Pastor Shen exposits how the Apostle Paul attempts to convince the church in Corinth to worship exclusively the one true and living God, to turn away from the Greek gods of that era, and explain how that applies to us, 2000 years later.
1 Corinthians 7:17-40 | The Church in Sin City, Part 7b | 7/26/2026 | Pastor Tony Shen. Pastor Shen picks back up in his sermon series through the book of 1st Corinthians, finishing up chapter 7, where Paul answers questions from the Corinthian church about marriage.
More than two years has gone by since Scott Roder, an Ohio-based crime scene reconstruction expert, presented findings that proved non-human intelligent beings appeared in a Las Vegas backyard in 2023. Since Roder's revelation, more evidence has emerged to further bolster the reality that actual NHI beings made an appearance in Sin City. However, to this point, nobody has been capable of refuting the proof. In fact, no UFO debunker, scientist or reporter has even attempted to try to refute the case.Support Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_RealityCheck out my YouTube channel:Quirk Zone - YouTubeExtraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

A Note from James:This is a very special episode for me.There have only been a few times in the history of this podcast when I've had the chance to sit down with one of my heroes. This is one of those times.Frank Miller is one of the most important storytellers of my life. When I first picked up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns in 1986, it completely changed what I thought comics could be. This wasn't just another Batman story. It was a revolution. Frank took Batman out of the colorful, campy world I grew up with and turned him into something darker, mythic, terrifying, and psychologically real.There is a comic book industry before The Dark Knight Returns, and there is a comic book industry after The Dark Knight Returns. Every Batman movie since then carries Frank's fingerprints in some way. But it wasn't just Batman. Frank changed Daredevil. He created Ronin. He created Sin City. He showed that comics could handle adult stories, painful arcs, crime, tragedy, mythology, obsession, and moral ambiguity.But what matters most to me is that Frank is a master storyteller. And I love storytelling. Whether it's books, podcasts, articles, comics, or just how we make sense of our lives, story is everything.So getting to sit down with Frank Miller and talk about Batman, myth, creativity, mentorship, discipline, and his new book, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, was a dream come true.This was my first in-person podcast in years. Jay drove up from Atlanta. I flew into the city. And yes, I brought my copy of The Dark Knight Returns for Frank to sign.Episode Description:Frank Miller didn't just write and draw some of the most influential comics of the modern era. He changed the grammar of comics.In this conversation, James sits down with Miller to talk about Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, Ronin, Sin City, and Miller's new book, Push the Wall. The conversation begins with Batman, but quickly becomes a larger discussion about how characters become myths.For Miller, Batman was never just a rich detective in a costume. The material was already there from the beginning: a child witnessing the murder of his parents, growing up without powers, building himself into a force through discipline, intelligence, and obsession. Miller's goal was to pull that core truth out and make Batman stand beside older pulp and mythic figures like Zorro, The Shadow, and the hard-edged heroes of crime cinema.James and Frank also talk about how myths are built around simple central values. Superman is hope. Batman is justice, vengeance, effort, and fear. The art is not in making those ideas complicated. The art is in placing them inside a human context so they feel emotionally true.The discussion moves into the craft of comics itself: page layouts, panel borders, visual rhythm, and how the pictures carry most of the story. Miller reflects on the influence of Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, Japanese samurai films, martial arts movies, Greek tragedy, Jean Giraud/Moebius, Lone Wolf and Cub, and the creative power of combining worlds that do not obviously belong together.They also talk about mentorship. Miller describes calling Neal Adams from the phone book, bringing him drawings, and enduring brutally honest criticism. That toughness, he says, was part of the training. To survive as an artist, you need egoism without egotism: enough belief to keep coming back, but enough humility to keep learning.The episode closes with practical advice for young artists today: go to conventions, build the strongest portfolio you can, seek out hard criticism, don't chase only the biggest titles, protect your original ideas, and look for “losers” you can make great.What You'll Learn:Why Frank Miller wanted Batman to become a myth, not just another superhero.How The Dark Knight Returns helped move comics toward darker, more adult storytelling.Why Batman's lack of superpowers is exactly what makes him compelling.How mythic characters are built around simple core themes like hope, vengeance, justice, or discipline.Why comics are not just written stories with pictures, but a visual storytelling machine.How Miller learned from Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil, samurai films, noir, Greek tragedy, and European comics.Why creativity often comes from combining unrelated influences.What Miller means by “egoism, but not egotism.”Why young artists should seek out hard lessons instead of easy praise.How to enter comics today without giving away original work too early.Why determination, stamina, and a lack of Plan B shaped Miller's career.What Miller is working on next, including a new Western-style Sin City story.Timestamped Chapters:[03:41] Meeting Frank MillerJames begins by holding up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and asking what it means to be known through one defining work.[04:00] Before and After The Dark Knight ReturnsWhy James sees Miller's Batman as a dividing line in comic book history.[05:07] Turning Batman Into a Psychological ConditionJames asks how Miller transformed Batman from a campy hero into something darker, mythic, and terrifying.[05:49] Batman as MythFrank explains that his first impulse was to make Batman stand with figures like The Shadow, Zorro, and the hard-edged heroes of crime cinema.[06:37] Pulling Comics Out of ChildhoodMiller describes his desire to push comics into adolescence and beyond the conventions of disposable monthly stories.[06:59] The Origin Was Always ThereWhy Batman's trauma, lack of powers, and self-made discipline were already embedded in the character from the beginning.[07:50] Superman Descends, Batman RisesFrank contrasts Superman as a figure of light with Batman as something that comes up from the darkness.[08:44] What Makes a Character Mythic?Miller explains that great characters usually have a simple central theme: hope, justice, vengeance, effort, or fear.[10:30] King Arthur, Luke Skywalker, and the Power of ObjectsThe conversation turns to swords, lightsabers, utility belts, and how mythic symbols carry stories across generations.[11:54] Breaking the PageJames and Frank discuss how Kirby, Neal Adams, and others shattered conventional panel layouts before Miller pushed those techniques further.[12:35] A Tradition of RevolutionFrank explains why creativity means breaking a few eggs while still working inside a lineage.[13:00] When the Page Tells the StoryHow panel size, shape, and visual composition can carry emotional meaning without words.[14:10] What Would Frank Do With Batman Now?Miller says the point is not to reinvent Batman for novelty's sake, but to find a good story.[15:00] Moving Daredevil Into Hell's KitchenJames asks how Miller brought his own New York experience into Daredevil's world.[15:45] Fear, Editors, and Media ConglomeratesFrank reflects on how creative fear moves through artists, editors, bosses, and corporate structures.[16:17] Are New Comic Stories Still Possible?Miller argues that the talent and creative energy are still there, even if it does not always come from predictable places.[17:40] How Comics Survived Their Own DeathsFrank traces comic books from the attacks of the 1950s to Marvel, underground comics, and the direct market.[19:30] What Young Artists Need TodayWhen James asks what skill matters beyond drawing and storytelling, Miller answers: determination.[20:01] No Plan BFrank explains that he never had a concept of failure because comics were what he had wanted to do since his earliest memories.[20:47] Writing vs. StorytellingWhy, in comics, most of the storytelling happens in the pictures.[21:00] Neal Adams and the Hard LessonsMiller remembers calling Neal Adams from the phone book and receiving tough critiques that tested his character.[22:34] Egoism, Not EgotismFrank explains the balance an artist needs: enough ego to return after criticism, but not so much that they stop learning.[22:51] Stealing From the GreatsWhy artists must study and learn from earlier practitioners rather than pretending genius arrives fully formed.[23:47] Batman Is Possessed, Not ObsessedFrank corrects James's description of Batman and explains that Batman is filled with an eternal force.[24:50] Daredevil, Samurai, Crime, and Greek TragedyHow Miller fused martial arts films, ninja stories, crime movies, and Greek tragedy into his Daredevil run.[27:01] Stick, Elektra, and the Sensei ArchetypeJames and Frank trace the mentor-student relationship through Daredevil, samurai stories, and mythic training narratives.[27:47] Lone Wolf and Cub, Moebius, and RoninHow Forbidden Planet exposed Miller to Japanese and European comics, leading to the hybrid world of Ronin.[28:35] The Power of IntersectionsWhy combining Westerns, samurai stories, science fiction, noir, and mythology can create something new.[30:08] Discipline vs. ChaosJames identifies a recurring theme in Miller's work: taking chaos and molding it into purpose.[30:40] Batman Becomes the FatherFrank explains the final image of The Dark Knight Returns: the orphan becoming the father.[31:24] Why So Many Heroes Are OrphansMiller says the lone child against the elements is at the heart of heroic storytelling.[32:36] Guilt, Control, and Batman's Unhealed WoundJames and Frank discuss whether Batman is driven by guilt or by the need to take control after childhood trauma.[33:43] Pushing Batman to the ExtremeWhy Miller made the Batmobile a tank and amplified the character's core qualities.[33:50] How Frank Would Start TodayMiller advises young artists to attend conventions, show their work, use the internet, and seek honest feedback.[34:36] Seek Hard CriticismWhy young creators should avoid people who only make them feel good.[34:59] Don't Chase the Biggest TitlesMiller advises artists to look for overlooked characters—or better yet, create something themselves.[35:21] Find a Loser and Do It RightA practical creative strategy: identify something bad, understand why it fails, and build the better version.[35:41] Gatekeepers and New AvenuesFrank weighs the traditional obstacles against new channels for artists to get discovered.[36:27] Protect Your Original IdeasWhy young artists should be careful about handing over original material too early.[37:00] Humility, Listening, and Surviving the BusinessMiller adds

God Is Holding Your Hand Acts 18:9-10 “One night, the Lord appeared to Paul in a vision and said, “Do not be afraid. Continue with your preaching, and do not be silent, for I am with you. No one will attack you or try to harm you, for there are many in this city who are my people.” I always get a bit jealous when I hear verses that say the Lord appeared to so-and-so in a dream or that they were visited by an angel. Then I remember that, although I am not being visited by an angel that I am aware of, if you listened to the episode on angels, you know we aren't always aware when we are visited by an angel. Although I am not aware of any visits from angels or the Lord in my sleep, the Lord does show up and talk to us each and every Thursday during prayer group. He also talks to me during my prayer time, so I really have no reason to be jealous. I don't know if you ever felt like I did. Have you ever been jealous that some people seem to hear the word of the Lord and you can't? If this is the case, I want to assure you that He wants to talk to you. God is always talking to His people; we just struggle to listen sometimes. If you are struggling to hear the Lord. If you wish, you could ask Him a question and really hear an answer. I want you to know you can. It is possible. If you cannot hear Him, it is not because He is mad at you or because He is punishing you. There could be a number of reasons why you can't hear Him. Maybe you are harboring unforgiveness toward others, which can block all kinds of graces. Maybe you don't believe you can hear Him, so you are afraid to sit in the silence and give Him time to talk? Maybe you don't have any quiet time in your day? Think about how hard it is to hear someone you are intentionally trying to hear in a crowded restaurant or on a subway train. Look through your day. If someone were following you around trying to talk to you all day, would there be any times when you would hear them? The world we live in is busy and noisy. It is not often that we sit and listen to the Word of God. This can change. If you want to start hearing from God, all you have to do is listen. He is already talking to you. I know that this may sound weird to some of you, and yet I think it is important to tell you. I often talk with the Lord. I write Him a letter, and then I write one back to myself and let the Holy Spirit lead what I write in the one back to myself. I feel the Lord is constantly telling me, “Thank you for listening; not many do.” God is not mad, He is not punishing you, He is patiently waiting for you to come to Him and ask Him what He thinks. He is waiting to tell you how much He loves you until you take a minute to listen. Can you give God 5 minutes of your time today to just listen? If you are quiet, if you are asking the Lord to talk and you can't hear anything, then you can command the spirit of deaf ears to leave immediately. You can command your spiritual ears to open. You can ask God again and expect that He will answer as He always does! I am not sure that it had a lot, or anything, to do with the verse, and yet when I feel led by the Holy Spirit, I just agree and go along for the ride. Back to the verse. It says, “One night, the Lord appeared to Paul in a vision and said, “Do not be afraid. Continue with your preaching, and do not be silent, for I am with you. No one will attack you or try to harm you, for there are many in this city who are my people.” I think this verse is a testament to God's love for Paul. He knew He was afraid, and He came to talk to him and to reassure him. It sounds like Paul wanted to leave the place where he was. Paul was in Corinth, and that was not a nice town. Its nickname is “Sin City.” I have heard Father Mike liken it to parts of Las Vegas. Paul was preaching at the synagogue to the Jews & the Greeks, but they didn't really want to hear what he had to say. When they started to oppose him and hurl insults at him, he decided to leave the synagogue and search out the Gentiles. In case anyone listening is like me, and you are not sure who the Gentiles were or what that word means, let me explain. You were considered a gentile if you were not Jewish. It is not a particular race or tribe; it was all people who were not Jewish. God came to Paul in his dreams and told him not to be afraid, that He was with him and that he would not be attacked or harmed. God is saying this to us, too! He is with each one of us, and He is protecting us from all evil. I was typing up the minutes for my prayer group, and we had several prophecies that seemed to confirm this. There were two that I thought were especially good to go with this verse. The first one says, “I watch over you, my children. All of you are my children. I break the sword of the enemy who would come against you. You have nothing to fear, for I am there for each and every one of you in each and every trial. I will never forsake my children or leave my children. I will defend you in battle. I have sent you the power of the Spirit, and He will give you all that you need to do what you have been called to do.” Isn't that amazing? God is telling us that He is here for us. He will defend us in battle and any other situation. You may be thinking you are not in a battle, but you are not in the military. Each one of us is in a battle, whether we know it or not. Each one of us is in a spiritual battle, and sometimes the enemy can take it out on our family members. We need to stand firm and hold onto this word from God and all the other words He has given us. God will not let the enemy win. He will protect us. All we need to do is turn to Him. The second word I thought went along with this verse says, “My children, take my hand. Realize that I am with you. Go into the world without fear. I am holding onto your hand. There is no need to fear, I am your God. I will protect you; I will defend you. Smile, for you are mine. Smile, my children. I am with you till the end of time. Come closer, my children, come closer, that I can reveal my mysteries to you, so you, in turn, can share them with the world. I am your Lord, I am your God, and I am all-powerful. I hold onto your hand. Move forward, move forward with joy, for you are mine.” I love how gentle God can be. He is talking about protecting us, and He is doing it in this last verse as any Father would. Think back to when you were little. When you were walking with your dad, you were probably holding his hand. If you weren't holding it all the time, you at least know it is there if you need it. God is giving us this visual of walking with Him through life and asking us to take His hand and walk side by side with Him. What an amazing visual that is for me. Yes, please, Lord, I would love to walk side by side with you! I would love to hold your hand so you can protect me and defend me against this crazy world. I also like how he ended the word with “Move forward with joy, for you are mine.” We are His children; isn't that amazing!! God is so good! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to protect and bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we are so grateful you are protecting us! We are so grateful you are a loving Father who wants to hold our hands and walk through this life with us. Lord, we ask that you help us to be able to hear you when you are talking to us. We are asking that you open your spiritual ears and allow us to have conversations with you. I ask that everyone listening to this episode be able to hear your words just as they do in the prayer group meeting. Lord, we thank you for the words above, and we ask that you help them take root in our hearts. If anyone listening to this episode had a difficult relationship with their father, I ask that you let these two messages go deep down in your heart and take root. You are a good and loving Father to all your children! We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name. Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus! I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you, and so do I!

No one is more surprised than we are. Frank Miller, the legendary comics maker behind Daredevil: Born Again, Ronin, Batman: Year One, Sin City, and The Dark Knight Returns, which celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year, joins us this week to discuss his career as he filtered it through his new memoir/self-help book, Push The Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and The Art of Storytelling. His latest creation floored us. Broken into sixteen lessons, Push the Wall sees Frank Miller excavate his past to understand his pursuit of storytelling. He attempts to explain his rebellious nature and a need to throw himself against opposing forces, but in the process, reveals the awesome, unbeatable power of change. He treats the reader as his mentors did, like Neal Adams and Dick Giordano. Push the Wall works not only as motivation for the struggling artist, but also for the struggling human. The aggression and fascination for violence are present, but more importantly, Push the Wall contains a great softness or vulnerability. Frank Miller is not a creator who doubles down on past mistakes; he admits regret and offers encouragement to everyone who must fail to grow. We're beyond delighted to have Frank Miller on the podcast. We discuss how “The City” was the first to change him, why The Dark Knight Returns should not be the template for all Batman stories, and whether or not Robocop 2 is an essential ingredient in his vocation. Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling arrives in bookstores everywhere on July 14th. Make sure you're following Frank Miller on Instagram and his website.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show for a second time: Satanic and Masonic Ritual Abuse, MK ULTRA, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, creative writer, gardener, talented musician, singer and songwriter, dancer, content creator, and the brightest and bravest light in the darkness, DianaA little bit about Diana in case you missed her first testimony episode, if you're new here, or if you need a quick recap: Born and raised beneath the desert sky of Las Vegas, Diana entered a world where her family's names and networks formed a powerful, shadowed backdrop. She is the granddaughter of a 32nd-degree Freemason of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine - a Purple Heart-decorated Air Force veteran - and the niece of a nuclear health physicist who worked at the Nevada Test Site. Her great-great-grandmother immigrated from Sicily with ties to the mob and was an Italian woman of esoteric power who stood at the head of tables, bold and matriarchal. On both sides of her lineage flowed bloodlines connected to nobility, samurai, and the hidden architectures of influence. Yet it was within these very structures that the fracture began.Before she was born and continuing until she was thirteen, Diana endured systematic ritualized abuse designed to shatter memory, weaponize terror, and erase the sacred autonomy of a child. There were cages and costumes, staged violence and choreographed performances. Rituals unfolded in deserts and parks. Music - meant to be a language of the soul - was turned into a metronome of fear. Electric shocks rewrote what the mind could not bear to hold. Lodges and hidden rooms became classrooms of indoctrination. Adult faces of collusion watched. She once wrote these horrors as “fiction,” the only safe way a child could tell the truth her body already knew. Yet Diana is still here.What they tried to shatter, she gathered. What they tried to bury, she unearthed - piece by careful, courageous piece. She learned how trauma attempts to divide a life into locked rooms and how, with patient love for the self, those rooms can be opened, honored, and reintegrated. She came to understand that the most radical act after systematic dehumanization is to insist on one's full humanity - publicly, powerfully, and without apology.Today, Diana stands as a truth-teller and fierce advocate for every survivor emerging from hidden violence. She speaks for the child who was silenced and for every soul who still feels watched, doubted, or alone. She knows the architecture of coercion—how it recruits authority, hides in plain sight, and scripts stories for the powerless. She dismantles it by telling her own story first.Las Vegas taught her about illusion. Survival taught her about revelation. In a city famous for borrowed light, Diana carries her own. It does not blink. It does not sell. It is the steady flame of a life remade—one that warms, one that guides, and one that calls the lost back to themselves.Her music—once weaponized against her—has become her sword and her sanctuary. As a talented singer, songwriter, and performer, Diana now channels the very frequencies that once bound her into songs of freedom, healing, and defiant joy. Her creative writing, once a child's coded cry for help, now flows as a river of truth that others can follow. In her garden she tends living things that grow toward the sun, a quiet rebellion against every attempt to keep her in darkness.Diana meets people in the dark without pretending the dark is light—then walks with them until they can see the horizon for themselves. Because she carries her own light, the shadows in places like Las Vegas—and everywhere else—lose their power to hide. Diana is not just a survivor. She is living proof that the light within us is stronger than any darkness ever devised. And her song has only just begun.

She helped raise the teenager now accused of killing Anna Kepner. And she just went on national television and pointed the finger at his parents.Timothy Hudson's step-grandmother, Sonya Ziske, broke her silence in a CBS News interview that fractured what was left of this family's public front. She blamed Anna's father Christopher Kepner and stepmother Shauntel Kepner directly. She called the cruise a “floating city that is usually like Sin City.” She said they created a “recipe for disaster” by putting three teenagers who weren't raised together into a single stateroom, by allegedly failing to provide medication, and by what she says was unchecked alcohol access on the ship.The parents have denied the drinking allegations. Shauntel Kepner's attorney said in late 2025 that surveillance video confirmed no underage drinking occurred. That dispute hasn't been resolved.But Ziske's interview isn't just about what the parents did or didn't do on the cruise. It's about the family unraveling in public. A grandmother taking sides against the people who married into her family. A custody battle that's been active since weeks after Anna's death. And the question of whether the adults in that hallway can ever be held criminally responsible for what allegedly happened in that stateroom.This episode pulls apart the emotional weight of the grandmother's accusation — the room arrangement, the timeline that shows no adult checked in for hours, a thirteen-year-old brother who slept feet from Anna's body without knowing — and measures it against the legal reality. The Crumbley precedent. The jurisdiction wall. The causation gap. And whether the accountability this family is demanding can come from a criminal courtroom or whether it has to come from somewhere else entirely.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're back from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas, and we've got stories to tell. This week, Amanda and Trevin recap their trip to Sin City, including our live show with Dating Detectives and Generation WHY, the highs and lows of CrimeCon, Amanda's poolside adventures at Caesars Palace, Trevin's failed quest to visit a dispensary, and an unexpected overnight stay in the wrong airport. Then it's time for some long-overdue criminal updates as we revisit three unforgettable cases from the Live, Laugh, Larceny archives. First, we check in on Justin Timberlake's infamous DUI arrest and the newly released footage of his field sobriety test—the same arrest that nearly "ruined the tour." Next, we return to California's bizarre "Operation Bear Claw" insurance scam, where fraudsters used a person in a bear costume to stage attacks on luxury vehicles in an attempt to collect nearly $142,000 in fraudulent insurance claims. Sentences have finally been handed down, and we're still thinking about that incredible dad-rock soundtrack. Finally, we revisit the Massachusetts woman who attempted to stop an eviction by unleashing a swarm of honeybees on deputies and civilians. Nearly four years later, a jury has reached its verdict. Vegas stories, criminal consequences, and one of the strangest update episodes we've ever done. Cases revisited from the LLL archives:• EP 165: This is Going to Ruin the Tour – Justin Timberlake's DUI Arrest• EP 183: When Squirrels Collide – Operation Bear Claw• EP 84: Buffalo Jills and the Buffalo Who Buffalo – The Bee Eviction Case

We returned from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas with something special: our live show from Caesars Palace! Join Trevin and Amanda as they welcome McKenzie Fultz (@Freedombarbie) of Dating Detectives and Aaron Habel of Generation WHY for a true crime game show featuring some of the dumbest criminals ever to grace Sin City. Together, they explore outrageous Las Vegas crimes involving gambling nuns, Red Bull-fueled burglars, viral taco thieves, a warehouse heist involving 30,000 condoms and stolen sex toys, a TikTok creator whose talent for playing dead landed him on CSI: Vegas, a man who climbed the Las Vegas Sphere, and the infamous Bellagio Bandit who somehow turned a million-dollar casino robbery into a masterclass in getting caught. Along the way, the audience gets involved, contestants battle for bragging rights, and everyone learns an important lesson: fascinating criminals aren't always masterminds. After the game, stick around for personal petty crime confessions, stories from CrimeCon attendees, and more time with our amazing guests. From casino capers and viral crimes to failed heists and unbelievably bad decisions, this is the lighter side of true crime, recorded live from CrimeCon 2026.
Las Vegas' reputation as the wedding capital of the world has roots that might surprise you.

From drive-thru chapels to punk rock venues to ceremonies atop the STRAT, they explore the wild world of Vegas weddings and discuss Nevada's role as a sanctuary for personal freedoms.
