Summary

Last week, we did our first-ever live show on the Crimewave true crime cruise! We covered three cases, a sort of "sampler platter" to give new listeners an idea of what kind of stories we usually tell on TCC. Case 1 is the bizarre story of a parody website that ended up bringing dozens of would-be killers to justice. Case 2 is the murder of chef Dan Brophy by his mystery-novelist wife. Case 3 is the true story of Stede Bonnet, bumbling pirate wannabe and possible boyfriend of the dread pirate Blackbeard. Thank you so much to IRL Events for the opportunity to perform live--it was a blast! Thanks too to Royal Caribbean for hosting us all. Note: There were some visual aids that went along with these cases, so sometimes you'll hear the crowd laughing at those. Patreon supporters will also have access to the half-hour Q and A session we hosted after the live show.

0:00.0	Hello campers. Can everybody hear me? Probably not.
0:29.4	It's a cacophony in here at the moment. Everybody shut up. I have something to say.
0:38.8	So, hello campers.
0:40.5	Grab your marshmallows and gather around the true crime campfire.
0:43.4	We're your camp counselors.
0:44.6	I'm Whitney.
0:45.4	And I'm Katie.
0:46.2	And we're here to tell you a true story that is way stranger than fiction.
0:49.8	We're roasting murderers and marshmallows around the true crime campfire.
1:00.2	Thank you. We're roasting murderers and marshmallows around the true crime campfire. This is normally where the music goes.
1:03.0	We're coming to you today from the middle of the ocean on Royal Caribbean's Beautiful Liberty of the Seas.
1:08.6	And this has been the most fun I have ever had in my entire life.
1:12.5	100%. It's so fun. It's been amazing.
1:17.6	It's been incredible to meet some of y'all in person. It's amazing getting to hang out with these other rock star podcasters. It's just been absolutely surreal.
1:26.1	And we know some of y'all today have probably
1:27.9	never listened to us before, so we wanted to give you kind of like a charcutory platter of the
1:33.1	kinds of stories that we usually do. One bizarre story, one murder, and a little bit of history at the
1:38.6	end. So settle in, get comfy, and we'll start with case one. The dark web's not safe, but we are.
1:46.1	Some of the most important discoveries in history happened by accident, like penicillin.
1:51.2	A scientist was so much of a slob that when he went away for a few days and came back to his lab,
1:55.8	he found mold all over his petri dishes.
1:58.3	And then he noticed that the mold seemed to be repelling bacteria.
