Don't Move - Atlanta's Most Awkward Hold-Up
3d ago00:07:10Tap to summarizeOn July 3, 2023, a man walked into the Nail1st Salon on Piedmont Road in Atlanta, Georgia, demanding cash and gesturing as if he had a weapon hidden in his shoulder bag. Instead of the panic, screams, and instant compliance he likely anticipated, he was met with a wall of pure, unbothered calm. From customers casually looking up to an employee who literally kept answering the phone, the salon’s refusal to participate turned an attempted armed robbery into 30 seconds of pure secondhand embarrassment. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

"Definitely not a bag full of drugs" - Tricia Croley and Damon Bennett
5d ago00:06:00Tap to summarizeOn June 18, 2026, Laurel County Sheriff’s deputies noticed a vehicle parked illegally in an "Employees Only" spot. What should have been a mundane encounter with the car's occupants, 51-year-old Tricia Croley and 48-year-old Damon Bennett, quickly spiraled into viral internet fame. After Croley handed over suspected narcotics and a fake ID, a search of the vehicle uncovered a black canvas bag that featured what might be the least effective criminal cover story of all time: a printed label reading "Definitely not a bag full of drugs." --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Excluded - Dana Ireland
2w ago00:42:14Tap to summarizeOn the afternoon of Christmas Eve 1991, 23-year-old Dana Ireland was brutally attacked while riding her bicycle on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The Phantom Firearm - Alan Abrahamson
3w ago00:09:26Tap to summarizeIn January 2018, the wealthy gated community of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, woke up to a baffling tragedy. Alan Abrahamson, a 71-year-old businessman, was found dead in a field with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest.
