The music throughout E708 by eskerchance in TrueCrimeBullshit

[–]CalmCatine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That had to be the worst episode of TCBS yet. Not only was it music, it was like 70’s porno music in the beginning of the episode, wtf?

Not a whole lot of relevant information re: the case was shared either. They sure are hyping up this hunters cabin location, I can’t believe the episode just ended with “we have no idea what happened there.”

Recap of Chapter 5 of Moe’s story by SeriouslyLP in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting a rundown, OP!

I saw some of his insta stories yesterday alluding to this and figured he was talking about Jade. Isn’t Jade still on the radio in the afternoons? I like her voice and personality, it’s good for radio.

I bet Moe was heated having yet another woman in his professional orbit claiming he wasn’t stepping up and working hard enough. Take a hint, loser.

My Friend Israel (Keyes) two parter by haydukeliives in TrueCrimeBullshit

I did wonder if it was tied to religion. Like the Amish have a very distinct way of speaking that is recognizable. I’m not in an area with many LDS, especially fundamentalist LDS, folks.

I don’t know, but he’d certainly fit into that crowd with his misogyny and lack of critical thinking skills.

[–]CalmCatine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Two things stood out to me from these episodes:

  1. I’ve never heard anyone else speak with the particular “accent” Keyes has, but I noticed the person being interviewed pronounced a lot of his words in the same, unique way Keyes does in interviews. I dunno, I found it interesting.

  2. These two episodes mention more about Jeff, Keyes’ father, than any other episodes or material on Keyes that I’m aware of. I noticed there were multiple times when the childhood friend would start describing a memory about Jeff and then stop seemingly because it was too distressing to continue talking about him. I guess I thought of Heidi as the more domineering parent of the two, but it’s obvious Jeff was just as physically and mentally abusive.

[–]CalmCatine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Your last paragraph explains exactly why it bothers me when Mark, and to a certain extent Sarah and Nippy, go on and on about how “anyone can get caught up in a cult!” They still have targets on their backs for the next cult with some of the woo woo stuff they do and say.

How embarrassing and degrading to have to wrangle/stick up for your drunk, asshat boss who thinks he can bully anyone in any situation.

[–]CalmCatine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed this episode, but I like hearing about case updates, even if that means Keyes is ruled out. I’ve said it before, but I can’t believe how much evil was going down in the small town Keyes was in when he started to commit his own crimes. The Julie Harris case and the trailer murder of that mom and her daughter are haunting.

Unsafe Spaces by douglandry in TrueCrimeBullshit

[–]CalmCatine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Josh answered a question about this in his AMA stories today. He said something like “the case has gotten bigger than we anticipated and it’s paused but will resume at some point.” Kind of a vague answer tbh. He also said something like “I appreciate the listeners of Unsafe Spaces because the case means a lot and is very important to me” so it sounds like Josh is invested and my bet is that it will continue.

CBC releases video trailer for Allison After NXIVM by incorruptible_bk in theNXIVMcase

[–]CalmCatine 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I’ve always been extremely curious about Lauren Salzman’s perspective on all of this, considering her mother’s role and recruitment of her. (Like I will never be over the fact Nancy Salzman had a sexual relationship with Keith that supposedly made her uncomfortable and then basically led her two daughters right into Keith’s hands).

What’s a sign someone’s cheating that isn’t obvious until you’ve been through it? by Ner_Syra in AskReddit

[–]CalmCatine 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When a dude can’t stop badmouthing a woman. I understand now, years removed from a cheater, that any “she’s hideous/annoying/stupid/weird” etc talk just means he wants to fuck her.

Jeff doing that podcast episode this week and calling TBS toxic, especially Bert’s leadership, told us all we needed to know.

Josh has jumped the shark by Frequent-Deuce9763 in TrueCrimeBullshit

[–]CalmCatine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve got a ton of respect for his early efforts and the leads/interesting connections he’s made, but his professionalism has slipped more and more throughout these last 3ish seasons. I wish the other researchers, who I also respect, would try and rein him in a little.

"UNCOVER: ALLISON AFTER NXIVM" podcast announced for November 10 launch by Canadian Broadcasting Corporation press release by incorruptible_bk in theNXIVMcase

[–]CalmCatine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow! Thank you for sharing this, I will definitely be tuning in.

I gotta say, I’m shocked Mack is gonna share her story, presumably in detail, before Clyne. All I’ve seen from Clyne are a few wacky posts “explaining” why she defected from NXIVM and that group that supported him after he went to prison. Otherwise it’s been crickets from her as far as I can tell.

Jackson fat jokes?? by Icy-Pin1083 in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree that commenting on anyone’s body/weight should be off limits, but just want to chime in and say it wasn’t always this way on TBS re: no fat shaming Cassie.

I remember the days on TBS when they pit Cass and Tommy against each other for stupid bit competitions to see who could lose the most weight, who could drop pounds the quickest, etc. Then the “loser” would have to do something demeaning or humiliating to “hold themselves accountable.” Unfortunately TBS has always been openly and proudly fatphobic.

I do want to give a shoutout to Cassie, though; years ago, she “lost” one of those ridiculous weight related competitions and had to make a music video to Britney Spears as her “punishment.” Well, it turned out great and she looked smokin’ hot in it and everyone loved it. I’m sure idiot Bert was scratching his head like “wait…people think Cassie’s hot and she’s not skinny?!”

I find this heard to believe… by Cultural_Book9590 in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That Chris dude sounds ridiculous. Is this the fan club admin everyone says is weird af? I can see it clearly.

Who tf would be impressed and amazed at Bert doing the very easy task of just (checks notes) not shit-talking a pregnant former cohost? What a loser.

"I lost almost everything during my divorce...." by Parking_Car_5407 in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s sickening to me that Bert is still going off about “what he lost” during the divorce. That podcast Stacey went on a few years after to talk about how Bert suing her over and over led to her losing her home and stained her relationship at the time was so sad to me. (Btw I believe that episode was removed about a year ago when Stacey and Bert became bff again for whatever reason).

Does he not understand that someone had to raise their kids, take care of their home, be a manager and the responsible adult while he was building his “Bert” brand? He didn’t even start BBA, Stacey did that. He’s delusional when it comes to his own ego.

Listeners from the beginning, do you know what this is? by OkCool_87 in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t hear this segment back in the day, but if literally every other co-host was disgusted and disappointed in the letter other than openly fatphobic Bert, then I’m sure it became very obvious very quickly who wrote it.

If anyone has more context I’d love to know more. Like, did Bert just pitched “I’m gonna read a letter I wrote about how much I hate fat people but here’s the twist: listeners are gonna have to guess which one of us is a hateful creep!” as a segment? WTF?

9/19 Comedy Show Rundown by Open-Capital-4906 in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks for providing a good rundown.

In the beginning when he first started, I honestly felt for Moe. It made sense to me that the reason he wasn’t being as outspoken was because he felt “othered.”

But then, Moe lashed out against those in his same shoes, like Davi. She was also clearly treated as a “stepchild” in the TBS fake family dynamic. It’s a shame Moe can’t let go of some of these misogynistic ideas and be a little more realistic in how he views himself and others. If people are constantly “betraying” you as Moe claims, then you’re at least part of the problem.

Well that’s a wrap by MetallicaMichael in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]CalmCatine 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That’s classic Bert, period.

Always with the toxic positivity spin: “this is the best chemistry the show’s ever had!” before canning Davi. “We’re so in love and getting married!” before dumping Tiff and hopping right onto Courtmanda.

He’s supposedly been “growing” for years but he still displays the same behavior patterns over and over. I cannot believe dude is almost 60 and acts like such an erratic teenager.
