We did a Q&A over on Patreon for January and got some great questions! This one we had to share...What is a conspiracy theory that you think is totally possible? Do you guys really believe one? And which one do you think is just nonsense?

We want to know what conspiracy theories you believe in and which ones you think are bananas!

Patreon Ep. 2: Audio Only: The Scott Peterson Talk

Megan attempted to do Kara's makeup while also talking about the Scott Peterson case and well, it's as ridiculous as you'd expect.

Several people on TikTok made it clear to Megan that she should take another look at the Scott Peterson case, because apparently there's been a lot of talk that he may actually be innocent. Now you can listen while Megan recaps the case and she and Kara discuss the theories behind why he might be innocent and who else could've killed Laci.

Enjoy! And remember, whether you agree or disagree, we are ALWAYS happy to talk about cases!
