The Best Friends Guide to Money and Murder

Episode 13: Game Shows and Newlywed Trivia

Caroline explains to Claire in this epsiode that if she has to talk about murder in this epsiode she will quit. Quit what? We're not sure.
The Ladies talk about what game shows/ reality TV they would win. They also end up asking each other newlywed questions. It gets a little weird.

Stay safe, be good, and wear a mask.

Episode 12: Manipulation Central and The Unsolved Airplane Heist

Today's episode is a real doozy...again.
Caroline focuses on more information about cults and one of the most well known cults: Jonestown. This story is very graphic, and very triggering.

Claire takes us all on a turbulent (get it?) ride with her story, covering the infamous D.B. Cooper and the mystery surrounding his escape. We will also take a bourbon and soda after hearing these two stories - in moderation of course.

As mentioned in the previous episode as well as today's-

Episode 11: If You Have to Ask if It’s a Cult- It Probs is. Also, We Love a Good Missing Painting

TW: animal abuse, mentions of multiple types of abuse, su***de.

Today’s episode is a very informative look into cults, and stolen paintings.
Caroline covers the developing story of The Garden, the differences between communes, religions and cults, as well as her own opinion. There is the understanding that this commune could be what they claim to be, however there are certain things that are concerning to some people. Caroline and Claire implore viewers to do their own research. This is a heavy topic, and both ladies understand how verified cults have mournfully impacted an innumerable amount of people all over the world.

Claire takes us on a somewhat lighter journey of Two Laughing Boys with a Mug of Beer a Painting by Frans Hals. This story includes 3 misfortunes, 2 Boys, and 1 solid mug of beer. Honestly, so thankful for Claire, and her constant rays of sunshine.

Note from Caroline:
It is important, especially for this episode, that we explain to you some of our sources in the description. I was able to gain a lot of information about the background on cults from some good goog searches. For the purposes of the commune described in this episode, I used information from these tiktok accounts listed below. I do not claim to be the first person to cover this story. These people did the work, as well as a few others. There are already some articles written by insider.com etc. I hope that my story today provides an in-depth timeline, information on cults, and the ability for viewers to form their own opinions, and do their own research.

Thomaseddisonhatepage - Their name is Sumner, and they are lovely. They continue to cover the story as it progresses.

Cultmaker- They also provide information on the commune, and provide updates on what is happening. They also make multiple tik toks informing viewers on the Rainbow Family, give information on what cults are, as well as information on Sundown Towns.

BookofEdith- same as the our other friends. They provide information on the commune, given updates, do their research, and also called immigration.

New episode alert: Our weird month continues with two new compelling stories.

Caroline describes the hair-raising true story of Charles Manson and his doomsday s*x cult. It's not a fun time, and Manson has a weird fixation with The Beatles and trying to start a race war.

Claire goes into the crazy world of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. There's just so much maple syrup. It's amazing. Grab some pancakes and buckle up!

New Episode Alert:

On today’s episode Caroline and Claire are trying something new! They want to talk about anything but murder and crime today.

They discuss everything from podcasts to boardgames.

Join us this week for an inside look into what it is like when we hangout. We love you all.

Stay safe, be good, and wear a mask.

Episode 5: A Plethora of Suspects, and Jack the Ripper’s Ghostwriter.

In today’s exciting new episode, We’re doing something fun, fresh and new.
Today, We are both covering the ghastly, notorious and unsolved case of Jack the Ripper.

This story is not for the faint of heart.

Caroline speaks on the actual crimes, the unfortunate victims, and the ever growing suspect list. Like- there are too many suspects, my guys. We could probably cut down that list just a smidge.
Claire divulges into the fascinating theory of James Maybrick, and The Diary of Jack the Ripper, and the implications for what the diary may mean for the case. There’s intrigue, questionable characters, and honestly too much blood involved.

As always a disclaimer: Have we mentioned that we love disclaimers?
This guy- whoever he is, fu***ng sucks. Because of that, the story also sucks.
The start of the case begins around the 11 minute mark.

New episode alert!

Episode 4: The Strength of a Child and Google Search: The Ponzi Scheme Guy

In Today’s episode, Caroline examines the harrowing tale of Diane Downs, who attempted to murder her children. She was able to kill one, while also traumatizing the other two children. We learn how a child’s strength helped bring her siblings justice.

Claire gives us all a lesson on money schemes. Even more specifically, we get to hear the story of Charles Ponzi, and why this form of money made sense to some people. The moral is there are definitely better ways of making money, then having to drop off the face of the planet. But, to each their own we guess.

Episode 3: Power Coats, A Slew of Tangents and A Missing Painting

Welcome back!
In today's episode Caroline and Claire remark on the exciting news of a new president, and the end of a hateful era.

Caroline goes into depth on the KC Strangler Lorenzo Gilyard and his notorious killing spree, as well as highlighting an interview between Lorenzo and Piers Morgan.

Once again, Caroline's story covers topics that may be hard for viewers to hear. This story starts at the 10 minutes mark and ends around 39 minutes.

Claire talks about one of Caroline's favorite topics- art theft. Specifically, the theft of the painting, A Cavalier.
We love a good mystery, and we love you all.

Episode 2: A Star Trek Heaven, and (Not) so Fatal Landing~

OUT NOW!!

In today’s not so very new podcast- Caroline dives into the fascinating story of Aileen Wuornos, her year of executing men and why her childhood may have led to her life of crime. One year is surely a very short amount of time to kill 7 grown men. Claire explains the true, and intriguing story of Marcus Shrenker, and how jumping out of an airplane, though inventive, is FOR SURE not the way to fake your own death.

Disclaimer- Both stories today handle very sensitive topics today. We want to make sure everyone is aware, and okay with listening to this episode. We also promise that at some point, we’re going to talk about less depressing stuff.
The story of Aileen Wuornos discusses a lot of seuxal abuse/rape experiences, and death.
Marcus Shrenker story mentions su***de, and death. Most of this is towards the end of the story, but it is mentioned a few times.

WE ARE LIVE!! You can listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple podcasts or whatever you like to listen :)
