In today’s episode, we’ve teamed up with Scooby and Shaggy as we saddle up in the Mystery Mobile - complete with a flux capacitor - and head to the heart of Austin, TX, circa 1885. We’re on the hunt for the world’s very first serial killer - The Servant Girl Annihilator.

It appears that the city’s residents of the time got this guy confused with Santa Claus, though… instead of leaving out cookies and milk, they opted for the family axe and a sandbag or two. Seems like door locks weren’t all the rage back then either.

If you’ve ever wondered what all of those seemingly odd towers around Central Austin were for, tune in and get your history on!

Let’s go, our fellow freaks!

In today’s episode, we’re not dicking around. We cut right to the chase as we embark on a (literally) sobering tour of Texas’ spookiest spots on the map - and Brad isn’t having it. Not only is he shaking with fright in the corner, he’s butchering the sh*t out of the stories. He can write, folks, but he needs a crash course in 3rd grade level reading.

Jessica is in her element, though, and decides it would be fun to sick one of her creepy haunted dolls on Brad. We’re pretty sure he cried in the car on the way home.

So whether you’re into spooky season or not, you don’t wanna miss this one. Let’s go!!

In today’s episode, we remind everyone that we suck and deserve to be punished (yes, please). Why didn’t anybody tell us we sounded like sh*t?! Well, you can’t say it now because we finally figured it out and we. sound. like. ANGELS!!

We decided to celebrate our newfound clarity with a kickoff to spooky season! We talk all things haunted and horrific, and Brad pees himself a little bit. He’s not a fan of horror. Oh, and Jess is indeed scared… she just can’t show it as her face is frozen. She just won this year’s Botox Challenge and she’s smiling ear to ear, you just can’t see it.

When we do things, we do them BIG, people! So let’s get this party started!!
