      You should check out Last Podcast On The Left - goes even farther with the humour, and more in depth on the topics. I've often found myself asking, "how can I possibly be laughing at this horrific detailed crime?!?" while listening to those tree lads. Found Mike later and he's like the visual, "safe for work" version of them. ♥️🍍

      @@tagaway6173 Hey that's a great question! If you're just looking to get a feel for them, scroll through the episodes for something that catches your attention. They've covered many of the same cases Mike has here, for example Mark Twitchell.
      Their series on the BTK killer is very very good, and my personal favourite is the creepypasta episode, "then who was phone"
      Keep in mind it's actually a podcast, but most episodes can be found on the RUclips channel LPOTL (no idea if it's their official one lmao). They're also on Spotify and podcast apps, and their official website has the episodes categorized with direct download of the mp3 files.

      Florida is a messy place, but they also make all arrest records public, so you do hear about all the crazy crimes people are arrested for. I'm sure every state and country has some insane criminals running about but you don't hear about it, get the names of those people and pictures to go with it.
      However, Canada is still top ranking for me. We're a large country by area, but only have under 30 million total poluation. I live in a place called Labrador, which is about as big as the state of California with a population of about 25,000 people. California has a total population about equal to the entirety of Canada, so it stands out even more when you hear about such horrific crimes being committed here.

Maybe he's explained it and we haven't seen it yet. But surely he's got more than 2 shirts.

      @@netsk2000 I don't think he went from nothing I think he had a lot of pent up rage. Picture someone telling you that they love you, having 2 kids with you. And then you find out that they have been sleeping around on you, want a divorce, wont move out and then flaunt their new relationship infront of you. Then tell you the reason why they fooled around on you is cause your a lame duck in bed. That would piss most rational people off pretty badly, this is the first time in one of these video's where I look at the victim and think that they were a pretty shitty person as well. Not deserving to be killed but a person that definitely has more issues then a coat of paint and is definitely not innocent either.

Steve appears to have been a very loving caring husband and father and Chrystal seems to be the kind of woman who uses men and telling someone basically you are not good in bed as you return from spending the night with your new lover is not exactly tactful! LOL Also sharing a home with your ex-husband, whom you know took the divorce very hard and was still wearing his wedding right was downright stupid. It was a bomb ready to blow. Whatever her problems were, she seems to have enjoyed chaos and drama. Chrystal's behaviour contributed to this killing.

    Survival Rules During Separation
    1- Don’t remain living under the same roof with your soon ex to be. So don’t start the separation until you have a place to go and enough money to survive a couple of months after the separation.
    2- If you are legally married, DON’T start dating until the divorce is totally completed. Dating before the completion is considered cheating (like it or not).
    3- Is safer and healthy to wait at least a couple of months before dating again.
    4- Keep your new dating low profile for a while.

Would be friendly if we ran into each other. We both were done with marriage. All of these rules aren’t really real rules. Murder has happened with couples where they were together and the victim thought things were fine. Where victim did everything you said above. Happened in every circumstance you can think of between people. There are no rules except maybe stay away from people who seem really unstable. But then again there are people walking around today that were involved with unstable people. It is almost like after watching a ton of these that you can’t really tell who is going to murder you. Who is just going to make your life hell. I would say odds are greater with someone in your life that is obviously violent and controlling but even then I think better to get away because that is a miserable way to live.

    That’s very sad she was named after crystal meth, had drug addict parents and was abducted at 13. Then to top it all off murdered during the hurricanes 😭 She’s very beautiful!

      That abuse she went through when she was younger probably made it hard for her to even have a steady relationship and is probably why she had affairs. That abuse as a child really haunted her for her whole life. So freaking sad

    I just want to say that having been through Harvey, I have never been more proud of my city when Houstonians came together to help each other in the aftermath. Harvey was devastating but the way neighbors helped each other - and total strangers - was inspiring. Steven took advantage of the chaos in an evil way, while the rest of us were coming to one another’s aid. Tonight, exactly three years later, we’re preparing for the possibility of Hurricane Laura. To keep calm, I’m bingeing Mike’s videos ... again. I wish Crystal didn’t have to be a subject of such a video, but it keeps her memory alive.
    Anyway, thanks, man! Wish us all luck! ⛈🍀 The coast from here through Louisiana needs it!
