Side Stories: True Crime Trial Update - Summer 2026

This week, the march toward My Lai continues as America sinks deeper into Vietnam, from JFK and the Gulf of Tonkin to LBJ’s escalation of the war, the rise of body counts, and the growing brutality that helped create the conditions for a massacre... As LBJ himself put it, "there ain’t no daylight in Vietnam".

Henry & Eddie crawl out of Midsummer Scream with busted knees, empty wallets, and an irresponsible number of 4K DVDs... RFK Jr. sings the praises of the perfect shit, a hacky killer clown caught on RingCam bearing gifts, the Grim Reaper hit with charges after loitering outside UK hospital, Sinatra karaoke turns fatal, an Arkansas football player spends two hours sharing his helmet with a rattlesnake, Listener E-Mails, and MORE!

The boys are back as Marcus leads Henry and Ed into the first chapter of the My Lai Massacre, tracing the long and bloody road that brought America into Vietnam. From French colonial rule and the rise of Ho Chi Minh to guerrilla warfare, Cold War paranoia, and one catastrophic decision after another, the boys break down how America stumbled into a war it never understood and could never win.

Henry & Eddie bring you this week's wildest stories and craziest news - Mitch McConnell: Dead or Alive, "Daddy Daughter Dream Team" Rabbit Hole: the story of Patrick and Sarah Getchell, Miracle Baby arrested in Virginia shooting, the Florida Steakhouse offering a nude dining experience, Wisconsin man allegedly kills mother and covers mother in cat litter before setting corpse on fire, Indiana woman cuts out her father's heart, Colombian theater evacuated during ‘Spider-Man’ screening due to moviegoer’s uncontrollable bout of ‘rotten’ farts, Listener Mail, and MORE!

This week, Henry leads the boys into the deadly world of Breatharianism, the completely debunked belief that humans can survive entirely on air and “universal energy.” From fast-food-loving conman Wiley Brooks to Australian guru Jasmuheen and her lethal 21-Day Process, we follow the ridiculous idea that convinced people to starve themselves in pursuit of spiritual immortality.
