Good Company in the Car: The Bigfoot and Murder and Everything Else Podcast

A young woman is murdered by a California highway late at night. The killer is the last person anyone in San Diego expected...

(The AI recaps used to be so much more dramatic…) Kevin and Jack discuss the new Scream film—its recycled thrills, satisfying reveals, and a personal trigger scene—then move into reflections about urgent medical care and how it feels to be told to wait. The episode then shifts to a lively Disney trip recap: Animal Kingdom animals, Avatar and Banshee flight, meeting Kevin from Up, getting stuck on Pirates of the Caribbean which was amazing, park tips, shopping frustrations, and the relaxing and slightly boozy Brightline ride home.

Where do we start? Anti-freeze? Check. Life insurance? Check. Infidelity? Check. It's like falling on a bruise...

Thank goodness for cell phone pings or this monster might have gotten away with it!

Two friends recount their seven-night Norwegian cruise from Miami, comparing it to Celebrity, navigating port visits in Puerto Plata, St. Thomas and Tortola, and sharing amusing encounters—like a line dispute with a fellow passenger, shopping at an amber museum, and meeting two fun couples from Long Island. The episode highlights practical annoyances (slow internet, drink packages, and desalinated water), sunny island moments at Stirrup Cay, local sights and costs, and a brief health scare that turned out to be resolvable—wrapped up with candid humor about travel expectations and onboard life.

Jack and Kevin travel from Florida to Maryland for a nostalgic weekend in St. Michael's, enjoying ramen, conveyor-belt sushi, and a homecoming dinner with longtime friends. The trip blends warm memories, quirky motel and hotel moments, Goodwill finds, and a tense airport delay and de-icing scare before returning to sunny Florida.

After the heartbreak of suddenly losing their dog , Jack and Kevin took a Celebrity Reflection cruise to distract themselves from their sadness. The episode covers a frantic drive to the port, a harrowing last‑minute boarding, off-putting martini‑bar hangouts, inevitable casino losses, and a pretty good magician. They stop in Freeport Bahamas instead of Cocoa Cay due to storm damage to the pier (Freeport is not a tourist destination) and explore Nassau’s colorful architecture, the pink courthouse, and the historic Balcony House.

This episode explores the 1896–1897 mystery airship wave across the United States: thousands of reported nighttime lights and dramatic accounts of airborne craft, alleged crews, and even Martian visitors. It traces the sightings from Sacramento through the Midwest, examines explanations (hoaxes, misidentifications, secret inventors, and early aviation), and looks at how newspapers and later UFO enthusiasts shaped the story.

There's just no shortage! After a steady diet of murder we needed the podcast equivalent of pickled ginger last week and now we're already for the next case. Bring on the stupidity Ken Fitzhugh!
