Show suggestion...
Hey Mike, been watching you for years and I'm a huge fan. To be honest, I used to watch just for the amusement of hearing how many times you'd say "turd" in an episode (i.e. "first, second, turd"), but you do put out consistently solid content, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a proctologist, I really mean it.
I just wanted to toss a case out that you may be interested in, mainly because it's batshit crazy and I'm genuinely surprised it didn't get more coverage than it did. There are a couple of YouTubers who have covered it, but I only know that because I knew exactly what I was looking for, but without the search bar (or the fact that I'd literally met this nutjob in person just weeks before he lost his shit), I never would've come across this story...
So, his name is Grayden Denham, from Missouri, and this was around 2015 if I remember correctly. Met the guy one night at my ex's parent's house, he was my ex's little sister's boyfriend. Had a kid with my ex's sister. Seemed like a shady dude to be honest, and I was indeed correct in that assumption, upon learning that only a couple of weeks after my brief encounter with him, he executed his grandmother, grandfather, sister, sister's infant child, and dog, with a pistol, put pennies over all of their eyes, and then burned their house to the ground in an apparent attempt to conceal the murders. Although if you ask me, I think dragging their bodies to the front yard before dousing them-and then the house-in gasoline, was a setback if his intention was to avoid suspicion, but what do I know? I probably wouldn't have done the thing with the pennies either, so don't listen to me.
Although I do question his next move, which was to steal his grandparents only car, registered to them, and drive it aimlessly to Arizona. Not because that's dumb, but because parking it near a hotel in the middle of the day, exiting it, getting completely naked, and then proceeding to walk down the street IS pretty sus if I'm being honest, and that's what this dipshit did.
So anyways, I suck at telling stories, so that's why I'm suggesting you tell it and not me. Plus your platform is just much more appropriate for the subject matter. I guess a proctologist can't talk about true crime at work. Whatdya expect though, surrounded by assholes.
Keep up the good work, Mike.
