Back in 1986, Cleveland was going through it! unemployment rates were well above the country average, They would be known as 'The Mistake on the lake'

That was until United Way had a super, fantastic idea! They would release...... 2 million balloons into the sky!!! What could go wrong?! They would do this, and it would gain them a spot in Guinness book of records, and naturally, this would entice tourists to come to Cleveland, and just all their troubles would be miles away

This is the story of Balloonfest 1986

But, now we can get Matts take on it. SPOILER ALERT: There is WAY more talk about poop flinging, than there was the first time around.

In part 2 of out coverage of Wade Wilson, we will go over the day of the crimes; October 7th 2019, his arrest, his trial, and the strange, strange women who claim to love this man.

Wade gained notoriety in 2024, when he went on trial for his 2019 crimes. Women all over the internet found him incredibly handsome, for some bizarre reason, that I cannot for the life of me figure out..... is it the murders, and all the horrific abused, that he reserves for only women? is it the multiple face and head swastika's, that he was so proud of, he refused to cover them up for his trial? or is it that this man is so incapable of driving a stick shift, that he was unable to even leave his own horrific senseless, and brutal murder scene?

Whatever the case may be, he ended up having to block some of his ladies from calling the prison for him, because there were simply too many. And that right there is a good look into one of the many things that is wrong in the word.

Wade Wilson, became quite the headline, in 2024, when he went on trial for the brutal murders of 2 women; Kristine Melton (35), and Diane Ruiz (43)

Wade had only been out of jail for 5 days, when he decided to have a few drinks, do a few drugs, and then murder these two innocent victims, in the morning hours of October 7th 2019, for no other reason, than that they were there!

In Part 1 of our coverage we will touch on Wade's childhood, his adoption into a lovely family, his and past relationships, including his relationship with Kelly Matthews, who was kind enough to speak with us about her time with Wade.

As per Matt's request! This was one, that Matt listened to Hayley and I cover, before he was ever apart of Everything Scary. And, he wanted to rerecord it, and release it, as close to Halloween as possible.

This case, is hard. two idiot, teenage boys, who considered themselves to be 'film experts' had a desire to become "infamous serial killers" . and they chose someone, who considered them to be friends. Cassie Stoddart, had everything going for her. She was Smart, beautiful, friendly and kind. Sadly, she had the misfortune, of meeting Torey and Brian. And what followed, would change the course of all 3 of their lives forever.

In one of the craziest true crime stories that I have heard, the story of Daniel Danny LaPlante reads like a fictional horror story. When I first started the podcast in 2022, I knew this had to be one of the first cases I told, and it was.

But now, i wanted to go back and tell this case to Matt and hear his thoughts on one of the wildest cases. and, that's what we did. Hope you enjoy it!

Trigger warnings at the top of the episode.

I was extremely bummed after watching the @discovery+ miniseries #fallenidols that presents some pretty horrific allegations about @nickcarter from @backstreetboys, I’ve been a life long backstreet boy fan, and in particular, a fan of Nick. But, I have been burned before when it comes to celebrities turning out to suck, when you have built them up as something else in your mind, and as I watched the alleged victims tell their version of the events, in the 4 part series, that Nick did not take part in, I decided I wanted to cover this on the podcast. But if Netflix has taught me anything, it’s not to just watch one documentary. So, I dug in and did weeks worth of research. I started by reading Nicks book that came out in 2013 #facingthemusicandlivingtotalkaboutit , hoping to get a better idea of who he is, or at least how he wanted to come across. I watched the E! Reality show #houseofcarters, I watched countless interviews from the siblings, a very insightful one, was when his younger sister @AngelCharissma did @thesqueeze podcast. She opened up a lot. And I definitely learned that Nick is not at all, the squeaky clean, romantic that I envisioned growing up, lol.

I tried to remain as neutral as possible in my telling of the events. I will go over exactly what the victims had to say, and I will also go over how Nick and his team are responding. And you can draw your own conclusion. @costcocostbro sat down for FOUR hours to record this. So, it is clearly going to be a two parter. And it’s still going to be crazy long. (I did do a little bit of old school BSB rap.. and for that I apologize. )

As, I researched this specific topic, I couldn’t help but learn more about Nick, and his life, and family, so this ended up being a few stories wrapped into one. I hope, if you listen, you can go into it without a preconceived notion, and form an opinion once you have more information. I don’t even know what to call these episodes, because it goes in so many directions. So I’m just going to call it #NickCarter
