200: Jodi Arias & the Duke Lacrosse Scandal

Published: Feb. 2, 2022, 12:30 p.m.

We missed you all! We are back from break, refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to bring you a VERY meaty boi!\n
\n\nKristin starts us off with a sports story. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Over spring break of 2006, the Duke University men\u2019s lacrosse team was bored. So they threw a party. As the night wore on, they hired two exotic dancers to come perform at their house party. The night was a shitshow. The two women performed for the crowd of men, but stopped when one of the players made a threatening comment about a broomstick. Later that night, hours after the party dispersed, one of the women reported that she\u2019d been gang raped.\n
\n\nThen Brandi shows off her giant balls by giving us part one of her Jodi Arias coverage! When Travis Alexander met Jodi Arias, he was awestruck. She was beautiful. They talked all evening, and Travis fell head over heels. Jodi was everything he wanted in a woman. She seemed equally smitten with him. Even though they lived in different states, they tried to make their long-distance relationship work. Jodi even converted to Travis\u2019 religion. But Travis\u2019 friends weren\u2019t quite so taken by Jodi. Over time, he came to question whether Jodi was really the one after all.\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
