Explicit content warning

09/23/21 • 90 min

Have you ever wondered if your Airbnb host REALLY left for the weekend? Are there any hidden rooms in that cabin you didn’t know about? Bethany fell down a rabbit hole of creepy Airbnb stories and she’s passing the savings on to you! Then, Kathleen is questioning all of the health “rules” we’ve been told our whole lives: you need 8 glasses of water, 10,000 steps, 7 servings of fruit and vegetables, etc etc. Are they true? Who came up with them? WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM US?

S4 Ep352: The Strange Case of Peter Bergmann & A Deepfake Cheerleading Scandal

It’s an unintentional true crime episode! Who’s ready for some sultry Kathleen “sexy voice?” Our girl has strep throat but she’s showing up like a champ to discuss the cheerleading scandal that introduced a lot of people to the world of “deep fake videos” - taking a video of one person and editing a different person over them! But was this really a case of edited footage? Bethany is talking about a man who showed up in Sligo, Ireland, and disappeared forever! But did he even exist in the first place? Plus some sweet sweet #TowelContent that we forced our editor to keep in.
