True Crime
Wade Griffin: Insecure Big Boy Disease and a Missed Baby

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 True Crime

Wade Griffin never attended a single doctor's appointment or ultrasound during Taylor Parker's fake pregnancy — because there weren't any. His family knew she was lying from the start, but Wade threw away every friend who raised doubts, driven by a combination of pride and what Henry calls 'insecure big boy disease.'

Taylor Parker: How a Fake Pregnancy Became Murder

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 True Crime

Taylor Parker faked being pregnant for 10 months, using a purchased bump and a kicking simulator to deceive her boyfriend and his entire family. When the lie could no longer hold, she murdered her best friend Reagan and cut the baby out with 94 cuts — having studied C-section videos on YouTube.

Ukraine's Autonomous Drone Kills Without Human Input

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 News

Ukraine deployed a fully autonomous combat drone that selected and killed targets without any human trigger — the first confirmed such kill in warfare. The drone killed several Russian soldiers and destroyed a truck; the only reason anyone knows is because a second drone was sent in afterward to assess the carnage.

Technology
AI Is Just a Fancy Buzzword for a Computer Program

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 Technology

The word 'AI' means nothing — it's software executing instructions, not thinking. Henry argues that companies dependent on AI-written code are racing toward collapse because AI can't actually think, and humans don't even understand their own cognition well enough to replicate it.

True Crime
The Accidental Vigilante: How Bob Sent a Pedophile to Prison

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 True Crime

A vigilante named Bob posed as a young boy online to trap a community pedophile, then accidentally terrorized him into self-surrender — not through tactical genius, but because Bob kept going to jail for unrelated crimes and going silent for months at a time. The predator thought he was facing a cold, calculated mastermind.

News
Epstein Emails Prove Dialogue Connections

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 News

Emails from Jeffrey Epstein's archive show he was told 'Peter Thiel loves your secret society idea.' Once the name 'Dialogue' was known, researchers found Epstein correspondence referencing the group — he was invited to attend and was sent materials from the sessions when he couldn't make it.

Religion & Spirituality
The Indian Man Who Stood in One Place for 12 Years

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 Religion & Spirituality

A devotee of the Hindu god Shiva stood in the same spot for 12 years as a vow of standing penance, an extreme austerity practice. His feet have turned black and necrotic — functionally dead but still attached. Henry and Eddie marvel at the discipline while questioning whether using a leaning board at night means he didn't actually do it.

News
Peter Thiel's Secret 'Dialogue' Society Exposed by Wired

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 News

Peter Thiel has been quietly running a secret society called Dialogue since 2006 — its membership and website kept hidden until hackers found a security loophole. Attendees included Ted Cruz, Scott Bessant, Bryan Johnson, Cory Booker, and Ezra Klein, proving this isn't a left-right divide but a wealth divide.

Society & Culture
Tom Holland Going British and the Polymarket Bet

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 Society & Culture

Henry proposes betting on Polymarket that Zendaya will leave Tom Holland within a year, citing the inevitability of Holland 'going British' — losing his looks as he ages. The segment spirals into a discussion of fluoride, sock garters, and the correct financial play of cashing in your 401k on celebrity breakups.

True Crime
Pathological Lying: The Psychology Behind Taylor Parker

Side Stories: Maternal Instict · Jun 24, 2026 True Crime

Pathological liars don't just lie — they try to make the lies real, which is far more dangerous. Taylor Parker's pattern started with catfishing boys in high school using friends' nude photos, progressed through fake cancer and MS diagnoses, and culminated in inventing an $8 million inheritance to keep a boyfriend.
