DNA Test Reveals My Dad Isn’t My Dad!

In 1983 James Duncan was fatally shot during a domestic altercation at his home in rural Fayette County, West Virginia. The incident occurred after a heated argument with his wife, Cleo, and her son, Jerry Raines.

This week, Dana takes Anthony through the sharp-tongued, trailblazing journey of Joan Rivers. The incomparable woman who broke barriers, burned bridges, and built a comedy empire on brutal honesty and unrelenting ambition. From early stand-up gigs and being blacklisted by Johnny Carson, to reinventing herself through tragedy, reality TV, and plastic surgery punchlines, this episode covers Joan’s rise, her losses, her legacy, and the cost of being the first — and funniest — woman to do it all with a mic in her hand and no filter on her mouth.

Accused of luring fishermen to their deaths during storms and practicing dark magic, her story takes a dramatic turn when young Joe Bob Duggett discovers her performing rituals over dead bodies.What follows is a chase into the swamp that ends with the witch sinking into quicksand—but not before she utters a terrifying curse: "I will break out of my grave and burn down the whole town on May 25th, 1904." Though buried with heavy chains wrapped around her grave to prevent escape, exactly twenty years later, Yazoo City erupts in flames. When the smoke clears, residents discover the chains around her grave mysteriously broken.The witch's nameless grave still stands in Yazoo City's Glenwood Cemetery, just 50 feet from Willie Morris himself, who immortalized her legend. Unlike many folk tales that fade with time, this one comes with physical evidence you can visit today—a lasting reminder of promises kept from beyond the grave.We also share exciting podcast updates, including our new merchandise line, upcoming vampire-themed episodes, and our growing listener map across four countries.
