After an unexpected hiatus, we're finally back (almost) just in time for My Existential Crisis' 3 year anniversary!

It's episode SIXTY-NIIIIIINE!
Madison is her most boring, dad-like iteration as she talks about her love of America's greatest past time. (Guys, plant your feet before throwing a baseball, for the love of all that's holy!)

This week, Madison covers the disappearance of Natasha Ryan, a case filled with twists and turns, and an admission of shoddy research work from Dylan.

Episode 67 is here and we are back to our regularly scheduled programming! Dylan recalls his coffee drinking foibles, an unnoticed disappearance, and a regifted "little guy." Madison shares her bittersweet emotions after leaving her last show and shares her love of classic musicals (while emphasizing how she is NOT racist.)
This week, Madison tells the story of the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell, a story that has stayed with Madison for years. It's full of twists, turns, Spanish love songs, and an incredibly tragic ending. While there is little levity in this story, making fun of Steve Chantrey is a glimmer in this otherwise bleak story.
In the words of Steve Chantrey, "I love you... so put me in jail" (and spoiler... they did).

We're back with episode 65 and I promise it's worth the wait!
This week, Dylan kicks us off my telling us about a morbid omen that laid literally at his feet: a dead crow-sized crow. This sparks a discussion about Dylan's dislike for nature and travel and Madison's apparent love for the Grand Canyon, all in the search of finding what we value. Ultimately, this is one of our most wholesome openings where we only slightly dabble into Madison's recurring existential conundrum with Time.
This week, Madison tells us all about one of the events that haunted her nightmares when it was splashed (pun intended) across the news: the OceanGate Submersible Disaster. Madison tells all about what happened that fateful day, and the many, many, MANY failings that lead up to it.

It's episode 63 and we're coming at you with the most wholesome of intros today. We throw it back to driving lessons, Madison's unparalleled parallel parking skills, and Dylan dreaming about dogs made of flowers and skiing with a Greek bust statue.
This week, Madison takes us into an Octogenarian's dream with the some old Hollywood gossip: the murder of Bob Crane. A rising Hollywood star turned washed up actor, Bob Crane was murdered in his apartment shortly before his 50th birthday, but that isn't even the most interesting part of the story.

Happy Memorial Day! We're coming at you with episode 62 and we have a rather grim one for you today. But first, Dylan tells us about his new purchase and we're eagerly awaiting the visuals for it. He's also become a hat guy, but wants to make it clear that he's not a fedora guy. Madison talks briefly about her travels from the last 2 weeks where she went to Kenya, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague.
This week, Dylan gets a bit spiritually existential as he tells us about the controversial Soul Trap Theory (and no, that's not a new music genre). It's also referred to as the Cosmic Prison where we are being continuously used for our energy and then spat out for reincarnation back into the universe.
