Send us a textAuthenticity versus fabrication takes center stage as Dee Billy addresses the swirling rumors about a supposed street confrontation with someone known as Boyo. With unflinching directness, Dee Billy dismantles claims that Boyo ever "backed out" on him or had any direct altercation, calling such stories pure imagination from someone desperate for street credibility."This clout chasing is crazy," Dee Billy states early in the conversation, setting the tone for a raw, unfiltered discussion about the dangers of false narratives in street culture. The supposed confrontation—where Boyo claimed to have pulled a weapon on Dee Billy only to receive a cool, collected response—never happened according to Dee Billy. "He ain't never had no direct run ins with me ever," he emphasizes repeatedly, revealing that the only real situation involved someone else's beef entirely, with Boyo's own family members contacting Dee Billy asking to leave him alone.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is how Dee Billy addresses the broader implications of such fabrications. He challenges listeners to find anyone who could truthfully claim they've ever "punked" him without facing consequences, whether "from the street or in jail." His reputation speaks for itself among those who truly know the culture. As the conversation winds down, Dee Billy issues a direct challenge to Boyo: "If he really want to make his imagination true, man, come outside. Stop making it up." For those who value authenticity in a world where social media allows anyone to craft a false persona, this conversation serves as a powerful reminder of what real street credibility actually means. Listen now and hear the unvarnished truth behind the rumors.Support the showFollow our IG & Twitter for live updates @LFTGRadio

Am 5. April 1722 entdeckte Jakob Roggeveen im Südpazifik Rapa Nui, das die Einwohner „Te Pito o Te Henua“, den „Nabel der Welt“, nannten. Die Insel sollte allerdings unter dem Namen bekannt werden, den Roggeveen ihr gab: die Osterinsel. Wer waren die Einwohner*innen und warum erschufen sie rund 1.000 riesige Steingesichter, die sogenannten Moai, und stellten sie mit dem Rücken zum Ozean auf? Warum fand die Cook-Expedition, die nur gut 50 Jahre nach Roggeveen stattfand, viele Statuen umgestürzt und beschädigt? Und warum stand das Volk der Rapa Nui gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kurz vor der Auslöschung? Was war in den knapp 200 Jahren seit der Entdeckung der Insel durch Europäer geschehen? Wir haben den aktuellen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Forschung zu Rapa Nui zusammengetragen. Vielen Dank an Lars von Auf Distanz für die Glückwünsche.

Today we turn to one of Japan's most enduring and disturbing legends, 'Kuchisake-onna', also known as 'the Slit-Mouthed Woman'.This tale of a disfigured woman who asks a chilling question has stalked schoolyards, late-night streets, and the public imagination for decades. But beneath the horror lies a deeper story - one shaped by post-war trauma, shifting societal fears, and the evolution of urban myth in a media-saturated age.We trace the legend's rise from whispered folklore to national panic, exploring how stories like Kuchisake-onna take root, why they thrive, and what they reveal about the fears we try to suppress.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

Open wonderfully late: Mon-Thurs 11 AM-Midnight, Fri-Sat 11 AM-1 AM, Sun Noon-8 PM. You can find them on Facebook and Instagram, or by visiting ApothecaryAleHouse.Square.Site Here's what we tried:Pimento cheese dip with toasted baguette; three cheese roast beef panini on rustic Italian bread, with pepper jack, cheddar, and swiss, grilled onions, and horseradish mustard.They also tried the chips and dip that comes with every sandwich!Then, Matt starts a brand new series on Main Corpse, when he dives into the real life stories that inspire urban legends. Matt shows love to 90s slasher movies and wants to share. For his first episode, Matt keeps it local as he loves to do, with legends from West Virginia. Besides a quick recap on the usual WV folklore, Matt talks about two more: Screaming Jenny from Jefferson County, and then briefly the legends that arose following the co-ed murders that occurred in Monongalia County.Editor Britte will never forgive Kelsey for saying that four cheeses is too much cheese. The Creeps also talk about comics and cryptids.Life advice: offend the chefs and get the dips.
