764: The Internet’s Darkest Cult (Plus Olympic Dick Drama)

We start with the moment that detonated live television a BAFTAs broadcast that spiralled into shock, silence, and the fastest PR scramble in recent memory. What happens when something uncontrollable collides with a room full of cameras? Who takes responsibility? And why did the beep button seemingly clock out early? Then we wade into royal territory custody, consequences, and that now-iconic photograph that launched a thousand memes. Is this a turning point for accountability or just another chapter in the long tradition of power protecting itself? Over in the U.S., things are somehow even more unhinged. We look at escalating political theatre, deranged call-ins, and the growing sense that reality itself is buffering. And finally — the story that feels like it was generated by an AI trained exclusively on dystopia the 21-baby surrogacy mansion case. What was happening inside that house? How does something like that go undetected? And what does it say about wealth, control, and the commodification of bodies? It’s a packed episode. It’s bleak. It’s chaotic.

Part 2 of our Black Dahlia deep dive: we pick up where Part 1 left off and barrel through the decades of suspects, misinformation, and “lone woman murders” around post-war LA… before pivoting north to the Zodiac the ultimate attention-seeking neckbeard killer and the wild new theory linking the two cases via a recently cracked cipher, a suspicious alias, and a creepy little “deathbed” sketch that may as well be screaming I DID IT.

It’s the Christmas edition, which means: stop buying shite, your presence is the present and now let’s immediately ruin the vibes. We’re unpacking the Epstein files “release” (heavy redactions, missing footage, photos of powerful men lounging with very young-looking women), the mass shooting at Brown, and the targeted killing of an MIT nuclear plasma physicist that has the internet whispering “assassination” (and Reddit out-detectiving law enforcement). Then we spiral into Candace Owens’ ongoing Erica Kirk/Charlie Kirk conspiracy saga, before landing in absolute devastation: the murder of director Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle found the next day by their daughter and Trump’s genuinely unhinged statement that somehow turns it into an OKR celebration for America’s “golden age.” Merry Christmas! Want something lighter? We can’t promise that but we can promise more: Patreon this week includes a disappearance, plus survival horrors involving ants and a maggot-filled leg situation.
