My Second Self and I is the unique comedy/true crime show where one of the hosts is just a disembodied voice! Join Matt and his Co-host Alex (the voice in his head) as they take you through a weird, wacky, wild, or otherwise unbelievable true crime story! The research is all real, the jokes come fast, and you never know what Alex might have to say....does your brain always say what you want it to say?

Oh snap! It's a bonus episode! This is the third volume of the Anthologies of Weirdness that I like to do from time to time! In this episode you'll find 3 stories that are all equally crazy in their own regard, but have absolutely nothing to do with the other! It's a really good excuse to talk about some wild stuff and make jokes about the crazy parts of life you might not otherwise hear about!

This week Matt and Alex look at a chilling case of parricide from South Carolina! How can a kid that had every step of life laid out for them end up where he is today? And what did he do to get there? We're in Rock Hill South Carolina this week, so maybe it has to do with all the rocks? Or maybe the hills? Either way, we're gonna talk about it and have a few laughs. Rise and Shine everybody!
