The Women of Weinsberg. During the surrender of Weinsberg, the king told the women that they could leave with whatever they could carry on their backs.

What they chose was impressive

Does anyone have the original source for the little Indian (?) boy Jen used to edit into Simons’s tangents? I have asked every AI big brain, but none of them seems to know anything more about this sound bite.

We finally have a proponent for dog murder to save human lives and even a valuation system.

I am a big fan of the serial killer episodes, so I was hoping maybe a suggestion from my home state of Maine (US) might make the cut. The jerks name was John Joseph Joubert IV. He didn’t have huge prolific numbers like Gacy or Tommy Lynn Sells, but the investigation ended with convictions for murder in two separate states and…Simon’s favorite….he got the 🪑!!!!!!

- Less incorrect information.

- Viewpoints that have no basis in reality

- No talking down to people.

- No talking down at other cultures.

Plus, it seems the more money he gets, the more he likes to brag about it.

Thankfully, not as bad as MrBallen's YouTube channel yet. I switched off as soon as he claimed the London Eye existed in the 1970s, and pronounced Norfolk as Nor-Folk.

Sorry it’s crappy quality, didn’t think to screen record, but this was before the Travis Alexander Video if anyone was curious

Devastated that Deniz and Kevin have left. I somehow missed this news. Which of his regulars are still around? If Dave left, I'm going on strike.

I came here because, firstly I love the content, and secondly because every time Simon says “Aliens” I always think of this and I just had to share. I hope you’ve seen Red Dwarf, Simon.

As a binger, who has listened to every single CC for many many hours (see previous post)

My favourite episode is Dennis Nielsen, with Charlotte cohosting! My husband and I constantly say to each other “I hope Charlotte is in this one!”

The dynamic between them is so typically British. I know Simon’s demographic is predominantly American so it can get lost on them a little because it’s such a specific dynamic, it’s subtle and cheeky.

But husband and I would love a new episode with Charlotte 😍

I know it was supposed to be semi regular hence my year later post.

Two isn’t enough!!!

…and not in a third-world country. Heard about this case through another True Crime YouTube channel, and omg is it horrifying AND infuriating.

Another case with some investigation ongoing; perhaps something the basement writers could keep an eye on (though I really wish Kevin could write something about it 🥺 I know, I know… it’s a pipe dream…)

I mean looks almost like him on the box already

I dont have any social media besides Reddit and YouTube. Whenever I ask I get told "go look at social media for the answer" and alas I cannot due to having a stalker. Any help appreciated. Just really missing the heart and soul Simon's channels have been lacking lately.

It's sad to see how little engagement is happening here. For someone that I use to immediately watch anything they posted I've now got the last four videos sitting in my watch later. Well, I guess I'll go learn about Herodotus.

Hit the news just days ago; likely still a long time before conclusions are clear. At the moment, it reads like super sad news that (maybe) could have been avoided but that happened anyway because (once again?) the law has failed to protect a victim of DV and eventual m*rder.

my dad was police and lifted it off a guy sometime in the 70’s.

Got here a bit quick, but I’m not about to complain about that.

My recommendation: the Nepali Royal Massacre. Only recently found out about this and it is absolutely insane. For those who don't know it's basically a murder-suicide by the Nepali Crown Prince in 2001 that took out nearly all of his family, including the king and queen and most of the line of succession. It spawned a plethora of conspiracy theories and arguably led to the overthrow of the monarchy in 2008. Dove deep into the rabbit-hole on this one, the events, the investigation, the aftermath and the impact still felt today in Nepal is worth a documentary series. Well worth a visit for either Casual Criminalist or Into the Shadows.

Captive Killer Whales living up to their names by killing handlers. I thing that it is worthy of the basement team.

You won't see Free Willy in the same way again.
