In April of 1983, Charles Dingle took himself out to Queens to paint the town red. He was a dissatisfied nobody from Brooklyn with a pathological inability to read a room; he had 99 problems, and that was just two of them. A series of criminally idiotic decisions combined with poor social skills, a fountain of alcohol, and (an apparent metric ton of) cocaine in his coat pocket, would make lasting memories for the handful of people who happened to be at the bar that night.Join J & JR as Khadijah fills in the details in the paradoxically famous, though little known case of Charles Dingle and his night on the town.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bent-and-twisted--5176129/support.

Venture through the creaking door if you dare. In this episode, JR relates the batsh*t beliefs of a devoted mother who loved her children to a fault.Welcome to northern Italy, 1939. Under the fascist stylings of Mussolini, the nation teeters on the brink of war.

She's missing one ingredient, but it's nothing she can’t borrow from her neighbors.Join us by the fire for potent drinks filled with tiny umbrellas and a cannabis combo platter that will keep you tripping over your own tongue, as JR comes clean with the crew about Leonarda Cianciulli, the Soap Maker of Correggio - or Bubbles, if you’re nasty.*No tea cakes were involved in the making of this episode.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bent-and-twisted--5176129/support.
