A Sunday-brunch start quickly turns intense as we unpack a Pennsylvania case where police found more than 100 human skulls, torsos, and mummified remains in a home and storage unit. We trace the investigation from tips to Instagram follows, then wrestle with motive: is the oddities trade a cover for crime, a magnet for the unwell, or both? The conversation pulls in true‑crime mythmaking, Ed Gein lore, and how the internet’s back alleys make it easier to cross lines that used to feel unthinkable.

From real‑world horror we slide into Hawkins, revisiting the Stranger Things finale with fresh eyes. We celebrate the show’s secret sauce—kids who act like kids, adults who bend but don’t break, and 80s details that feel lived‑in instead of kitschy. Murray’s deadpan heroism, Hopper’s bruised heart, the Wheelers’ quiet backbone, and needle‑drops from Master of Puppets to synth‑soaked pop remind us why this story stuck. Could there be prequels or spin‑offs? Maybe. But sometimes closing the gate is the most satisfying ending of all.

We close with our most personal segment: a heartfelt, at‑home goodbye to a beloved dog, and a candid look at euthanasia and assisted dying. We talk signs of late‑stage decline, how in‑home services protect comfort and pack closure, and why compassion can be an action, not just a feeling. Then we widen the lens to policy and ethics: hospice, autonomy, dignity, and the case for giving terminal patients a humane choice when suffering overwhelms treatment.
