I Swear To Drunk I Am Not God

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 11.

We’re back in murder land.

We’re digging into one of the most heartbreaking and controversial chapters in true crime history: The Atlanta Child Murders.

We’re looking at the victims the world almost forgot and the man the system was desperate to pin it on - Wayne Williams. Was he a prolific predator, or a convenient scapegoat for a city on the brink of a race war? We’re peeling back the layer...

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 10, Part 2.

We’re back in it.

In the final chapter of our dive into Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail Vol 2., we move out of the smoky backrooms of the 20th-century mob and into the high-tech, high-def world of the modern technocracy. Volume 2, Part 2 is about the digital harvest.

We’re picking up right where the "stray cats" met - Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This isn...

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 10.

We’re back in it.

In this episode, we continue the conversation started in Volume 1, this time diving into “One Nation Under Blackmail: Volume 2” by Whitney Webb.

If Volume 1 taught us anything, it’s this: the system was designed this way.  Volume 2 drops us directly into the rise of Jeffrey Epstein. Not just the headline version of Epstein or the crimes we already know. But the infrastructure around h...

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 9!

In this episode, we descend into the suburbs of 1970s Houston to examine the case of Dean Corll, a man the world remembers as “The Candy Man,” but whose neighborhood knew as "The Pied Piper".

Behind the friendly persona was one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Corll groomed and manipulated teenage boys, ultimately recruiting two of them - David Brooks and Elmer Wayne ...

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 8 - PART 2!

In Part 2, we move from smoky back rooms to boardrooms with better lighting.

If Part 1 built the foundation - Prohibition money, mob logistics, compromised officials - Part 2 shows what happens when the underworld goes corporate. The old guard dies off, but the infrastructure evolves.

Drawing exclusively from Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail (Vol. 1), thi...

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 8 - PART 1!

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on One Nation Under Blackmail Vol 1. by Whitney Webb - a meticulously sourced deep dive that reframes power, corruption, and control in America as a long-running business model, not a conspiracy theory. 

We'll talk about how intelligence agencies, organized crime, financial institutions, and political elites converged to create a system ...

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 7!

In this episode, we examine the case of Jane Toppan, a woman often reduced to the label of “killer nurse,” but whose crimes reveal something far more disturbing. Toppan didn’t simply murder her patients - she manipulated them. 

Charged with twelve murders and confessing to at least thirty-one, she exploited a system that trusted caregivers implicitly and rarely questioned deaths labeled as “natural.” ...

In this Sober Take, we examine the federal sentencing memorandum in Pamela Anne Hemphill, a January 6 case that shows how courts evaluate individual conduct inside a mass event.

*CORRECTION:KEPT CALLING HER PATRICIA IN THE EPISODE*

Hemphill pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a restricted Capitol building, a misdemeanor offense. On its face, the charge appears minor. But the government’s sentencing memorandum a...

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 6!

In this episode, we step deep into Chicago history to unpack the myth and the menace of Sylvester “Two Gun Pete” Washington, one of the most infamous and contradictory figures in the city’s law enforcement past.

Celebrated by newspapers as a fearless crime fighter and quietly feared by the communities he policed, Washington was the most recognizable Black police officer in Chicago history. Armed with ...

In this Sober Take, I ramble about a federal class-action lawsuit alleging that Stake.us operates as an illegal online casino in the United States while marketing itself as a “free” social gaming platform.

The lawsuit also names celebrity promoters, including Drake and Adin Ross, alleging they were paid to livestream gambling activity using funds supplied by the platform—creating a misleading picture of risk for everyday users.

This ...

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 4!

This week, we’re taking a sharp left turn from Kansas and landing in Miami Beach.  In July of 1997, world-renowned fashion icon Gianni Versace was gunned down on the steps of his own mansion.

Today, we’re digging into how a kid from San Diego spiraled into a cross-country killing spree, how he managed to stay one step ahead of the enti...

Welcome to Season 4 - Episode 3!

This week, we’re heading to Wichita, Kansas. The quiet little town that wasn’t so quiet once BTK showed up.

Bind. Torture. Kill. That’s what he called himself. And for thirty years, he hid behind the mask of a husband, father, church leader, and city code enforcer while secretly turning his darkest fantasies into reality.

My sister Kirrah is joining me this week to unpack ...

Welcome to Season 4 - Episode 2!

**THIS EPISODE HAS SOUND ISSUES**

This week, we're going to blast off (literally) into one of the strangest true stories in American history: Heaven’s Gate.

In 1997, 39 people dressed in identical black outfits and Nike Decades “left their vehicles” in hopes of catching a ride on a UFO trailing the Hale–Bopp comet. Behind the headlines were Marshall Applewhite (a fallen preacher’s kid tu...
