We're trying Momofuku's incredible instant noodles in no-spicy Soy & Scallion, and nicely-spicy Tingly Chili. If you can find both, get both, as they don't disappoint. Then, a very Matt-tastic (his words) cult episode! He covers Gwen Shamblin Lara, the giant-coiffed lady as seen in the doc The Way Down, who was a church leader known for her Weigh Down Workshop of extreme Christian themed dieting. This episode mentions abuse of children, discretion advised. Holiday season is coming back in a big way, so we swear we're here. We were quite busy this season but not too busy to talk your ear off. We also talk about the gross-Tommy takedown, hotness? noodle size, noodle price, noodle obsession. Noods.

This week, we jump right into trying Oreo's yet again. One is standard, Red White and Blue Firecracker Pop! Blueberry, Lemon, cherry cream on a blonde Oreo. Go find those if you still can. They taste like PIE!!! We dang'in F with 'em. Matt also tells his story about the effect Asian sodas had on him. Kelsey talks about the internet! She's covering the feminist 4B movement from Korea, and it's migration to women in the US after 2024's orange political upheaval, because I guess women also want rights. The 4B's are no marriage, no childbirth, no dating, no sex. This movement started in 2019 after the murder of a woman in Gangnam Station caused social upheaval and national outrage. She's maybe also covering the "traditional wife aesthetic" honeytrapping of some ice and other agents. The Creeps also talk about Joe Bob's 3 B's, the gas nightmare because of the orange nightmare, Matt lying, the texture of the cookie part of the Oreo, the Flavor over Sugar ratio of imports, and the story of a girl.

This week, Kelsey's got a big box of imported Oreo's for us. She got the Oreo Flavor of Asia Variety pack, quite a large box of: Original, Blueberry & Raspberry Split, Crystal Grape & Peach Split, Ice Cream Matcha, and White Peach Oolong Tea. Then, Kelsey talks to Matt about Malik Chandler of Grove City, Ohio, his use of TikTok to attempt a Chris Hansen, and the shooting of an alleged pervert and pos that occurred after. The Creeps also talk about Kit-Kat's, accurate flavors gone wrong, and being tired.

This week, a great lineup of sugar sits before our Creeps. We're trying Little Bites mystery flavored mini muffins, Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie themed mini muffins, and we're washing it down with the bold jolt of Alani Witches Brew - one of the best ones they make. Then, Matt shares the worst college football crime in years with Kelsey, someone who usually does not sport. We're talking about the now infamous Michigan loss that was egregiously turned into a win by referee intervention, the addition of an extra second, and an undeserved extra hail mary attempt for Michigan. Matt also shares the Western Michigan University paper's reporting of a robbery, because it for sure was. The Creeps also talk about doing what we want, kicking Spooky Season into high gear, what makes the best cereal milk, and Matt's love of football when it's done fairly.

This week, the Creeps talk about Matt's birthday party, where we tried Kelsey's best ever Italian Cream Cake. Then, Matt's uncle Kenny brought up a chocolate cake, donuts, and Bismarck's from Nu Era Bakery, located at 120 Stratton St. in Logan, WV. Open Tue-Fri 7 AM-5 PM, Sat 7-3, closed Sun-Mon. None of this cake lasted, we ate all of it. Then, Matt gets into some winter squatch, and then I guess some summer squatch? We're talking about abominable snowmen. But not just any old kind, nope we've gone weirder than ever, bringing you the Underwater Abominable Snowman of the Bahamas, found by whacked out divers in the late 70s. Somehow. They also talk about birthday parties, twists, cake fiends during cake season, hot dog shapes, the Buttercream Gang, and the history of yeti legends large and small.

This week, Kelsey travelled home with at least a bakers dozen of Pokémon styled goodies from Krispy Kreme! She also had to grab some seasonals because we are forever known for our love of Autumn snacks. They're already here and we gotta eat 'em all. Here's what we tried: Pokéball, cookie butter, maple cheesecakes, mocha, pumpkin cake, Charmander (chocolate toasted marshmallow filled, orange caramel icing), Bulbasaur (vanilla), Squirtle (cotton candy buttercreme, Jigglypuff (strawberry), Pikachu (lemon filled), very gold donut holes that cover your hand in gold Then, Matt tells a tale of tales gone missing. In Arizona, a couple steal thousands of dollars worth of books from their local library in an attempt to resell them to Half Price Books, for an amount we can only assume is like twenty bucks... The Creeps also talk about their favorite starter pokemon, opting for the seasonals and specialties, expensive hotel breakfast, library overdues, and the literacy crisis. If you would like to honor the memory of Dolly Parton and dishonor the memory of the Arizona book bandits, you can donate to the Imagination Library at Donate.imaginationlibrary.com/

This week, CODE ORANGE! The Creeps are still getting spooky and it's gonna stay that way! We're trying more Bones coffee, first the Army of Dark Chocolate variety, as Kelsey cold brews it with cold foam and chocolate drizzle because we're awesomely bougie and it only gets more fancy from there. They try S'morey Time, Holy Cannoli with all sorts of accoutrement. Then, Matt takes Kelsey on a trip to 1800's New England (all of New England, just all of it) for the insanity of several stories on the panicked belief that friends and family were vampires from beyond the grave. That those vampires were making the living sick instead of it being (Tuberculosis) consumption. And that the bodies needed to be exhumed, examined to determine vampirism, in which they were then cut apart and re-buried or even burned in (often failed) attempts to spare the ones left sick above ground. They also talk about the candy and pumpkin spice flowing, coffee roasts, needing caffeine for night recording, fall trips on the east coast, Colin Robinson, Val Kilmer in Tombstone, and Matt's pocket knife. Trigger warning: this episode contains Updog.

This week, Britte grabbed too much candy again. We have a lot of squishy things going on. We're trying: Gummy Burst Cotton Candy Grapes, Freeze-dried Sweet Tarts, and Fizzy strawberry discs and flamingos. Note: they did not eat the flamingos... Then, Matt has BREAKING NEWS! We have a naked guy roaming our town. The Grafton Streaker. Folks reported to Matt that a guy ran down (more up really) East Main Street of downtown Grafton, WV without a lick of cloth on his body. Just running around in the full breeze. What happens after that I challenge you to believe - he makes it to Ace Hardware way up the hill, where he is -I swear to all the gods we are not kidding- hit by the car of his own mother. The Creeps also talk about squish, that the editor is a child?, cotton candy grape breeds, cherry candy is top tier, housing a two liter of cherry 7-up, starburst preferences, what does Flamingo taste like, and introducing this episode - the Peep-o-meter!

This week, Kelsey brings us more Oreo's to try and we're never upset about that. We're trying the new limited run Cinnamon Bun flavored variety, and really they should keep this one around too. Then, Kelsey talks about a very recent tragic event occurring in the last month or so. This involves the murder of Sara Gilson(Duff) by Jeremiah Shawn Duffey (a terrible person who also ended himself after), after he was investigated for abusing a minor during basketball that he coached at an elementary school on tribal land, and after she got a Protective order and posted about her horrid ex on her highly followed TikTok. Note: If you know anyone who needs assistance with mental health crisis, have them call or text 988. StrongHearts Native Helpline: By calling 1–844–7NATIVE (1–844–762–8483), American Indian and Alaska Native victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and dating violence can speak to an advocate. Matt tried BTS Oreo's finally, enough that he considered saving K-Pop... The Creeps also talk about sugar bits, entry horror stories for kids, lost Oreo's, and the Netflix doc meme.

This week, the Creeps are getting spooky! We're also trying pepperoni rolls from Mt Top Convenience located as you're heading out of Thomas, WV towards Davis, WV. (Or 16105 Appalachian Hwy if you don't like my sort of directions) Open Daily 5 am-10 pm, Sun 7 am-9 pm. Here's what we tried: Pepperoni roll with pepper jack, with jalapeños, with banana peppers Then, Matt brings hauntings back to the show with the whole weird history of the West Virginia State Penitentiary, located in Moundsville, WV. He mentions the founding of the jail, the horrible things that went on there, it's castle like architecture, it's basement. He also mentions the haunted wv road trip you can do. They also talk about Shovels & Rope playing a sold out show at Purple Fiddle, getting touristy up in the splendor of Canaan Valley, pep roll crust, Mississippi oddities, and civil war stuff, and protecting Jimothy at all costs.

This week, Kelsey tries BTS themed hotteok brown sugar pancake flavored Oreo's that are purple and have fun imprints and phrases on each cookie. She also tried Purple Cotton Candy Alani. Matt tries a few of the new Pumpkin Pie M&M's and questions why we keep buying M&M's... Then, Matt talks about a case involving the body of a man found in Clendenin, WV in 2014. Using CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) and medical analysis they've determined the man is identified as Jeffery Allen Blake from Moundsville. Kanawha Sheriff's are asking for any information or tips to be sent to their office at 304-357-0169. Article credited to WSAZ 3. The Creeps also talk about disappointment, the nostalgia of cold medicine flavors like it's a wine tasting, pumpkin vs pumpkin spice, snack squirrelling, and the pure joy that is Jimothy.

This week, Matt talks about the Jim Thorpe adventure he and Britte took to vend at Mahoning Drive-In's VHS Fest X, and their concessions perfections are what they ate all weekend. They also travelled north to the historic district of Jim Thorpe, PA where they tried a hip donut cafe called Donerds. Here's what they tried: Best popcorn in a theater ever, corn dogs, chicken and fries and dippets, pretzel nuggets and nachos with rico's cheese because you have to Donerds: Coffee, Chocolate Chip Cannoli donut, Strawberry Pistachio donut Then, Matt hits close to his home of Logan County. He talks about corporate true crime. Some just call it a flood. The 1972 Buffalo Creek disaster, in which slurry dams gave out under the pressure of millions of gallons of rain and coal waste, combined with years of neglect and incompetent build design. This wiped villages off the map, killed 125 people, injured 1,121, left over 4,000 homeless. Gov. Arch Moore's "investigations" were not even close to enough, and still not enough has been done for a region and a state who has given their entire lives over to coal. The Creeps also talk about too much filling, their high count episodes, popcorn kernel technology, videotapes, Matt's usual PA Haterade, Taco Bell lettuce, and family ties to coal industries. Note: there's some echo on this one but that just means you get to hear our lovely Creep voices twice!

This week, Kelsey has us try Domino's new Slice Sauce, a parmesan sort of ranch-ish Canes-ish sauce that is maybe for wings but they have it for pizza. Millie also gives it a try and review. Then, Kelsey gives Matt zoological lessons about the honey badger, and how they are fearless scrappy fighters in the wild, even when they come up against lions. She talks about a pet honey badger named Stoffel from South Africa. She ties this in to true crime by illustrating Stoffel's career as a pro escape artist. The Creeps also talk about dip-its, the worst chain sauces, school pizza, spoilers, JK being a DB, and nature docs.

This week, we're back at the Grafton Monster Festival to try delicious treats and talk to all our beloved Creeps and weirdos. We're trying Cryptid themed cookies from one of our favorite locals - Barnes Blissful Baking of Grafton, WV. You can get in touch with Rena for gorgeous cupcakes, decadent brownies and roll cakes, delightfully loaded up cookies, and more by visiting her Facebook, emailing at [email protected] or by calling 304-435-8416. Here's what we tried: Grafton Monster (Cookies and Cream: Vanilla cookie with cookie bits, vanilla Oreo buttercream), Flatwoods Monster (Mint Chip Sundae: Sugar chocolate chip cookies, mint chip buttercream, cherry topping), Big Foot (Chocolate mocha pudding pie: Chocolate cookie, mocha pudding topping, chocolate buttercream), Veggie Man (Carrot cake: Carrot cake cookie, cream cheese frosting, candied carrot) - These cookies were all unreal. Then, Kelsey and Matt share a live cyptid dive q&a with Charlie Mewshaw, co-creator of multi-award winning Arcane Carolinas podcast, and a lead natural resource science and technology expert on Lost Monster Files on Discovery, available to stream on HBO Max; and Tim Vickers, co-host of the Three Tortured Souls podcast (now closed), who has a haunted object experiment to scientifically measure whether items possess haunted conditions or abilities in a controlled setting. They also talk about the folksy shindig and Chance McCoy's impromptu performance on the Leonard's deck, buffalo chicken dip as a baller quesadilla filler, our great little mountain towns, and our favorite cryptids we'll never shut up about because cryptids rule...

This week, Kelsey shows matt a few drinks hand selected and brought over to us from Korea: We're trying zero sugar drink mixes from Songwon in Iced Tea Peach & Mango, and Grapefruit Tea Then, Matt gives us a new new new story, because he had to. Because whoever did what is alleged here is in the running for WV scum of the year. This freaking story is about two locals charged for operating an alleged drug house very very walking-distance-close to Grafton High School, same street. After a neighbor tip, police trash raids found meth, glass and foil, needles, and fentanyl laced material. Again, close to a school, the school Matt and Britte went to as teens. The brazen audacity of it all. The Creeps also talk about Matt's hatred and our love of grapefruit, our love and Kelsey's hatred of hops, Sunny references, dinosaur chocolate, allergy survival and pain for art. Lore: Britte did not know Kelsey has a Korean cousin. Yes, I know the title matches the cadence of saying Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out. Springsteen rules.
