Podcasting Day: Megan Wants A Murderer, Part 5 🌭

As with all great manhunts, our acclaimed podcast series Megan Wants a Murderer has come to an end, starring Megan superfan Lydia Bugg, series creator Seanbaby, and amateur reality show murder investigator, Robert Brockway. Listen to episode five now to finally find out which contestant from the 2009 show Megan Wants a Millionaire was the killer! And more importantly, learn if Brockway deduced it!

We discuss the final, unaired episode where Megan had the aspiring woman-buyers play a game that’s going to sound like I’m making it up because we’re doing a murder-hunting podcast about it, but it’s this: they wear each other’s faces and perform skits as the others. Then Megan asks each of them probing questions written by the men trying to destroy them. It’s an activity too cruel and stupid to be fun, but weirdly perfect for helping a podcaster guess which man is a killer 12 years later.

Was it Lipless Al, the man who spent the entire episode in a fussy rage?

Was it Corey, the collective of fungus piloting a man shell?

Could the murderer be Canadian Ryan, the homophobic dick who only feels joy when he is hurting others?

Brockway made it through this entire podcast series without ever looking it up. Maybe he thinks it could still be Corey?

When asked to put on other men’s faces and become them, the contestants revealed many new personal failings and character flaws. Maybe Brockway should revisit some of the suspects he eliminated. Could the killer be Francisco or Punisher?

Brockway still considers Foot Collector Dave, the pathetic, horny quitter to be a lead suspect. Could he be right?

Wait, has Brockway checked with cartoonishly obvious mafia hitman, Big Mike, to see if he was the killer?

As the episode continues, Brockway collects data and builds possible narratives. You can listen in real time as his keen mind traps the murderer a mere 12 years after he was caught!

Brockway even considers T.J., the man so generic we didn’t learn his name for four episodes.

In the end, Brockway had only his wits and 220 minutes of deceptively edited reality show footage to find the culprit. Did he do it!? Find out wherever you listen to podcasts! Like and review! Thank you to Liddy, our patrons, Megan, all the non-murderer contestants, and the amorality of late ’00s TV producers!

We also thank Corey.

We also are Corey.

Podcasting Day: Megan Wants A Murderer, Part 4 🌭

Today, on the Dogg Zzone 9000, Brockway and Seanbaby are joined by 1900-HOTDOG’s own Lydia Bugg. Together they explore unknown territory– the fourth episode of 2009’s Megan Wants a Millionaire. Though a perfect episode of television (because every one of the contestants was a hilarious failure), it was never aired (because one of the contestants got caught murdering).

It’s Part Four of our groundbreaking true crime reality watchalong podcast series, Megan Wants a Murderer! Brockway still doesn’t know which of these terrible men committed a gruesome crime, but you can listen to him try to figure it out from knife throwing alone.

That’s right! The television show taken off the air for murder features a head-to-head knife throwing battle! And a sword fight! And a sumo match where both men are holding a metal pipe? And a martini contest? Wait, and an underwater box-opening race? A-and also a bocce ball competition? And one of the guys pulls out his phone to show Megan his penile implant wearing a Santa hat! And then five of them make out with her, four of them in front of the others?! With special guest star, Jack Dagger, who you of course know as the 2004 National Champion Tomahawk Thrower! All in less than 40 minutes! This show would have changed the world, but the only people it changed were the three of us because we’re the only ones who ever saw it.

Listen wherever you do your podcasting, and help support the site with whatever click engagement things they do there! Will Brockway find the killer? Is it Sex Toy Dave?

Was it suspected human foot collector, David, the “professional” SCUBA diver of 15 years with “certifications coming out his ass” who just fucking sucks at everything and almost died in four feet of water?

Is it maybe Al, the generous but lipless man who spilled champagne in Megan’s eye during episode one?

There’s still one contestant who gets so little screen time and has so little personality none of us can remember him. Chorman? Is it maybe that guy? The Chorman guy I mentioned?

There are so many obvious suspects, and Brockway’s killer-finding mind still hasn’t ruled out lipless Al.

Maybe it’s Alex “Aleconda” who showed Megan an unsolicited dick pic in person, had it go quite badly, told a camera crew, “every time I show a picture of my d**k something good happens,” got kicked off the show, and then told the same camera crew, “she saw my d**k and then she sends me home!? WHAT!? Does she ever want pleasure in her life?” Could someone with that much self-control and good judgement ever take a human life?

You’re going to love it, but nowhere close to as much as we did! And remember: Brockway still doesn’t know which one of these awful, piece-of-shit millionaires killed his wife, so don’t tell him!

Podcasting Day: Megan Wants a Murderer, Part 3 🌭

Lydia, Seanbaby, and Brockway, the whole 1900🌭 team, come together to discuss episode 3 of the TV landscape-altering disaster that was 2009’s Megan Wants a Millionaire. If you’re just joining us, Megan Wants a Millionaire is a reality show about a woman hoping to sell her body and life to unloveable monsters for, hold on let me run the numbers… upwards of $30,000 a year.

Listen here! Or over here if you missed Megan episodes one and two.

The episode we are discussing was the last one VH1 aired because, as you may know, one of these terrible suitors… was a murderer. And Brockway still doesn’t know which one! Brockway is still wildly guessing! Brockway can’t find murderers!!!

As with previous episodes, don’t tell him! There are still two more unaired episodes in this acclaimed podcast series and two more chances for him to solve the mystery using heavily edited reality show footage alone! Was it Trust Fund Joe?

Was it one of the ones they never show and we never talk about?

Maybe the killer is David, the smarmy asshole who talks to Megan like she’s a baby?

Wait, is Brockway sure it’s not Joe?

Is it millionaire stripper Punisher? Or the guy who takes his shirt off every time Punisher takes his shirt off?

Podcasting Day: Hot Dog Nights, Megan Wants A Millionaire Part 2 🌭

It’s Podcasting Day, and this week Seanbaby and Brockway are joined by the indefatigable Lydia Bugg in their ongoing hunt for a murderer! If you missed part one of our True Crime miniseries, Hot Dog Nights: Megan Wants A Murderer, you can find it here.

A little background: Pop culture in the 2000s was all about finding the worst, least repentant person around and giving them millions of dollars to be terrible in public. In 2009, to close out the era of gleeful despicability, VH1 ran a reality show called Megan Wants a Millionaire. The premise was that title, and that’s seriously it. There was no other level. I know your brain has been conditioned to expect one, but fuck you! That’s it!

The official twist was that nobody was sorry about this. There was no pretense of shame. Nobody trying to explain it away as a hunt for love, or a fun gameshow, or anything other than what it was: A wonderfully manipulative woman seeking a rich idiot to purchase her. 

The unofficial twist was that one of the contestants was an actual murderer! 

Maybe the twist should have been that only one of these men was an actual murderer!

The twist of our podcast is that Brockway does not know who the killer is, and nobody is allowed to tell him! Especially not you — he still doesn’t know! So come join Inspector Seanbaby, Sergeant Lydia, and Junior Detective Brockway on the hunt for a murderer! A murderer who has already been caught and convicted! The stakes have never been higher! It’s our grown-up show for adults about mature stuff like sex and manipulation and murder — it’s not 1900HOTDOG! Put those Wiener Kids to bed! This is Hot Dog Nights!

Remember to subscribe to the podcast wherever you pod your casts, and please leave us a review. Be sure to mention that it sounds like we’re smuggling snakes, and use lots of suggestive emojis so everybody gets it.

Podcasting Day: Megan Wants a Murderer, with Eddie Doty 🌭

There are no standardized ways to measure curses, but 2009’s Megan Wants a Millionaire is the most cursed television show of all time. It was born from a reality show knockoff of a chain of reality show spin offs of a reality show knockoff starring a reality show star famous for losing reality shows. The title is not fucking being cute, and it was a show about a woman selling her services as a “trophy wife” to “millionaires.”

The Dogg Zzone 9000 Hot Dog Nights: Megan Wants A Murderer, Part One is available wherever you get podcasts, and you can start listening now! But back to what I was saying about Megan Wants a Millionaire…

The show was purposefully waving its filthy dick at decency, just daring society to collapse. It was a human auction starring seventeen men so pathetic they thought going on TV for a chance to buy pussy from a dirtbag made them look cool. But one of these performatively amoral monsters had a secret. It turns out one of the, again in quotes, “millionaires,” was… a murderer.

You might already know this story. When an almost popular VH1 dating show gets pulled from the air after three episodes because one of the singles killed his wife, your entertainment news editor is going to say yes to the story pitch. The incident was pretty famous and, without exaggeration, changed the entire reality show industry. But what makes our story special is this: Brockway doesn’t know which one of these guys is the killer.

Don’t tell him! Don’t tweet it at him or mention it in Discord or invite him to a Dungeons & Dragons campaign called “GOBLET OF THE DONALD IS THE MURDERER.” Robert is going to, in this multi-part podcast series, try to figure out which contestant is the murderer just from how he runs obstacle courses or tries to fuck a dingbat.

He and I (this is Seanbaby typing, hi) are joined by my old friend– producer and editor Eddie Doty. Among his many TV credits, Eddie edited several of the VH1 shows leading up to this including Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love. He coined the phrase “Krang body” which we use several times to describe Donald, producer of the Chainsaw Cheerleaders film series and for all Brockway knows, a murderer. Here’s Donald (he didn’t win or murder anyone (probably?)):

Enjoy the show and I repeat: if you remember who did it or have The Google, don’t tell Brockway! We haven’t recorded the entire series yet and it’s very important to me to find out if he can detect murderers simply from how they perform during zany activities. It helps support us if you Like and Review! And please Firemare us on Krull!

Podcasting Day: The Satanic Panic, with Jason Pargin 🌭

I would wish you all a Happy Podcasting Day, but I’m afraid that’s inappropriate today. This is a Very Special Episode of the Dogg Zzone 9000 where Jason Pargin helps us tackle a very serious problem: Satan.

Yes, it takes three to tackle Satan – one for each leg and one up high – but more specifically, we’re talking about the Satanic Panic. It was a hilarious and ridiculous nationwide witch hunt that spanned all of the 1980s, and the inherent comedy of panicky idiots seeing the devil in nerd games was only slightly dampened by the many, many real lives it ruined. 

Luckily Seanbaby brought the craziest god damn book to lighten the mood: Satanic Ritual Abuse: A Therapist’s Handbook. 

It’s a manual for gullible therapists on how to coach attention-seeking adults into bad improv about the devil, and it’s full of illustrations you’d only pretend to put on the fridge even if you loved your lobster-clawed blind child very much.

Our fine Patrons get the bonus episode, where Jason sticks around to watch Aquaman do very little in a confusing tale of Super Friends! And don’t forget to buy Jason’s incredible new book, Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick, wherever incredible new books or dick punches are sold. Please also subscribe to our podcast wherever podcasts or dick punches are subscribed to, and leave a review! Be sure to mention that it DEFINITELY DOESN’T sound like we’re all a bunch of fuckin’ dweebs who the devil would never hang with. Clarify that it DOES NOT sound like that.

WE LOVE YOU, SNAP-SNAP, BUT THESE ARE OVEN DRAWINGS.
