415: The Murder of Lita McClinton: From 20/20

Tue, 18 Feb 2025

Around 8am, Lita McClinton's doorbell rang. She peered through the peephole and saw a delivery man with a huge bouquet of flowers. She opened the door excitedly, but she had been tricked. The delivery man pulled a gun and shot Lita twice in the face, killing he almost instantly. It would take nearly 20 years to find out who had killed this brilliant and vibrant woman and why they they did it. And even then, the answers would make little sense.

Pepsi, Where's My Jet? (from Patreon)

Thu, 13 Feb 2025

The year was 1996, and the cola wars were raging. Ahhh, a simpler time. To stand out, Pepsi introduced "Pepsi Points" and said that if you earned 7 million of the, Pepsi would give you a Harrier Jet--one of the most advanced military jets of the time. They assumed nobody would be able to do it. But, of course, they were wrong. What ensued was a David and Goliath story for the ages. And I think we can all agree, PEPSI NEEDS TO GIVE THIS KID HIS JET!
