We're raising our Bloody Marys to celebrate both Lindsay's birthday and our podcast's first anniversary in this raw, unfiltered episode that perfectly captures what makes Drink About Something unique – our ability to balance life's joys with exploration of its darkest corners.
The celebration kicks off with a recap of Lindsay's birthday dinner at her favorite Mexican restaurant, complete with a sombrero, singing waitstaff, and a tiny margarita with a candle. Jesse went all out with gifts, focusing on Lindsay's love for Bloody Marys with an impressive array of mixes, garnishes, and specialty vodkas. We also highlight meaningful purchases from survivors' businesses, including clothing from Jennifer Turpin (of the Turpin family case) and Aaron Goodwin.
But true to our format, we don't shy away from the darkness. We delve into the horrific case of David Parker Ray, known as the Toybox Killer, whose crimes were so disturbing that Jesse experienced an emotional breakdown during our recording. This raw moment underscores the weight of what we cover – a serial predator whose full victim count will never be known, leaving countless families without closure.
The episode captures a profound realization: how cases like this highlight the everyday fear many women live with, and how covering true crime has opened Jesse's eyes to this reality. We recommend "Cries in the Desert" for listeners wanting to learn more about this disturbing case.
As we toast to our 50th episode and prepare for our upcoming New England trip, this milestone recording embodies everything our podcast stands for – finding moments of connection and joy while confronting the darkest aspects of humanity. Join us for this unedited glimpse into both our celebration and our contemplation of a case that left us forever changed.
