Chapter 1: What happened to Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell?
Hello, Florida. Your favorite son and biggest baby are coming home to bring you the laughs you deserve. Everyone likes to poke fun of the Florida man. Everyone likes to use Florida as a punching bag whenever an alligator on meth eats an old person. It can happen anywhere. As a famous Floridian baby, I feel your pain. So that's why I'm coming home to let you know it's okay to be who you are.
It's okay that the rest of America is scared of us. It's okay that books are illegal in our schools. It's okay whenever it gets cold, it rains iguanas. I'm here to support you. So come on out. March, I'll be in North Florida. And in May, I'll be in South Florida and Orlando. It's the Invasive Species Tour. Ed Larson, me, is coming to Florida in March and May.
I'm coming to Jacksonville, Panama City, Tallahassee, Marco Island, Dania Beach, Orlando, and Key West. So lock up your public subs and start singing the Miami Dolphins fight song because we're going to party like it's Florida, baby. Tickets at eddytoons.com.
There's no place to escape to. This is the last. On the left.
That's when the cannibalism started.
Yesterday, what happened? I know you guys are going to be, listen, tell me about it. I'm so excited to finally tell you this. It finally happened to me. I was on my Toto praying and I, do you ever have, I know people don't necessarily like it when I start with anything about my bodily functions. I'm just going to start like, I'm not going to go into it deep.
It's not necessarily, it's they just plain don't like it. It's whatever. There's a couple that like it. There's a couple that like it. But you know when you're having a filthy, dirty little fuckers? You know when a duke's too hard?
Lick your lips.
You know what I mean? When a duke's too hard?

Chapter 2: Who were the key figures involved in the Doomsday Murders?
You just want an army of dogs to just make a lot of noise.
Yeah.
It seems like it would be an encumbrance.
I feel like that as if you were blind and you wanted to take it out on us. Being like, you'll have to deal with my seeing eye army.
Now, while the cops hadn't charged Alex Cox with the murder of Charles Vallow and instead believe the easier, work free explanation of self-defense, the people in Chad and Lori's immediate circle were not so easily swayed. See, for some reason, the murder of Charles Vallow was what finally snapped podcaster Melanie Gibb out of her delusions concerning Chad and Lori's claims of divinity.
Because I don't think Melanie Gibb ever really believed that their text chains wishing for the death of Charles Vallow were actually going to work. Melanie Geb later said that while she started out as a true believer, she did anything Chad and Lori asked her to do after the murder.
Not because she was a follower, but because she had become afraid that if she said no, she would be labeled as a zombie and murdered as well.
It's quite possible. It's also quite possible that she started getting real upset when they started using her as an alibi. Yeah. That's what they started to do because everybody was just a removable piece that wasn't Chad or Lori. Also, an accessory. Didn't she, like, help steal his car? Oh, yeah. Melanie Gibb is guilty of crimes. She should have been arrested as well.
I'm actually really, really surprised that she wasn't. She's out there, out there still, podcasting away, her with other illuminaries in the podcasting world, such as Meghan Markle, Barack Obama. Yeah. Some of the finest podcasters out there. She's really doing it. And she she very much so was a part of this conspiracy and only extricated herself when it got hot.

Chapter 3: What led to the deaths of Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow?
We're going to be given a lot of it today. Yeah.
That's what I always say. If you want to learn how to do something well, don't just look at the masters. Look at the failures. Look at the failures. Lori told his school that JJ had gone to Louisiana to stay with his grandparents. But she told JJ's nanny that JJ had gone to visit his grandmother in Hawaii. No fucking reason. Yeah, JJ's living an amazing fake life. Yeah.
The explanation Lori had given people about Tylee, however, the one that she'd gone to BYU-Idaho, that was starting to wear thin. On September 24th, Tylee's older brother and Lori's first son, Colby Ryan, texted Tylee's phone to wish her a happy birthday. Obviously, Lori Ballow had been anticipating something like this.
because she'd kept Tylee's phone charged and ready to use since Tylee's murder. So when Colby texted Tylee's phone, Lori texted back, pretending to be the dead daughter that she had killed.
And this brings me to one of my most, one of my largest pet peeves in all of millennial-made content. Our feeble, sad attempt to write like teenagers and to speak like teenagers. Every single time I see a show that has been obviously written by 40- to 50-year-olds with teenagers speaking, they sound really fucking stupid.
And I don't think that you need to have one pedophile on every staff that knows how to talk to kids.
Well, they did. It was called the Disney Channel.
Oh, yeah, that's right. Nickelodeon.
It made huge hits.

Chapter 4: How did Lori Vallow justify her actions?
And after Ian spilled everything he knew, he became an informant, pumping Melanie for any information she might have. You got to do the flip. Got to do that number one flip. Chad and Lori, meanwhile, seem to have completely given up on the idea of a new Jerusalem.
Now that their spouses were dead and Lori's kids were out of the way, they used the near half million dollars Chad had received from Tammy's life insurance policy to rent a house in Hawaii in December of 2019. They all but abandoned Rexburg.
Fucking right out the door. Out the door.
And that's great advice for anyone who lives in Rexburg.
Get out of there.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Now, this blasé behavior about the impending apocalypse was strange to the faithful followers Chad had left behind. And all the people who'd followed Chad without question were at long last starting to examine everything with a closer lens.
What with the many deaths and disappearances surrounding Chad and Lori, it began to finally dawn on podcaster Melanie Gibb and her pat boyfriend that they very well might become accessories to murder if they weren't careful.
Now, there's a lot of things as a woman I'll accept. I'll accept friends that kill their children for the sake of the Lord. I'll accept people who kill their husbands, people who kill their boyfriends. But I will not accept responsibility.
