True Dat

This year, during museum hours, robbers entered the Louvre and in 7 minutes, left with $100M worth of crown jewels. The heist shocked the world because of how brazen it was - the thieves blended in plain sight, descended out of a window down a construction ladder, and fled on motorcycles. With heightened security and DNA, it's not likely someone could get away with such a crime these days. That being said, these risky art and jewel heists are nothing new. Na'im and Xia cover some of the most infamous cases - from the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, to the Isabella Gardner Museum in 1990, and finally, the $1B jewel heist in Germany in 2019. They also discuss what these crimes symbolize culturally, and who has the right to own a piece of history. Since the recording of this episode, all four suspects of the recent Louvre heist have been taken into custody.

One of our fav comedians, Brendan Sagalow (AKA Sagdaddy), joins Na'im and Xia in the studio this week! They discuss the Murdaughs - a family that was once a big fish in a little pond. A prominent law dynasty spanning four generations in South Carolina, the Murdaughs quickly fell from grace after patriarch Alex was tied to a series of deaths and financial scandals in their community. Na'im, Xia, and Brendan talk about how those with power and wealth believe they are above the law, what they would do if they were in Alex's situation, and what his possible motives were.Follow Brendan:https://www.instagram.com/brendansagalow/?hl=enFollow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/https://x.com/Xia_LandFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/Naim__AliWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

This week on a very special episode of True Dat, we have legendary comedian Jim Norton in the house! He, Xia, and Na'im discuss Aleister Crowley - an English occultist who earned the reputation of being 'the wickedest man in the world' in the early 20th century. Although Crowley was never convicted of a specific crime, his bisexuality, prolific drug use, and ties to the occult were enough to send tabloids in a frenzy at the time. Some suspected Crowley was a spy for the British government during WWI, while others thought he was simply a devil worshipper. Eventually, Crowley started a commune in Sicily, where he was kicked out by Mussolini for lewd behavior -- one man died on Crowley's property, and it's said his cult was making animal sacrifices. No wonder Ozzy Osbourne wrote a song about him!

Ed Gein is very much abuzz right now due to the recent Netflix show about him, but even after watching 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story', his true character remains a mystery. What we do know is that Gein was an emotionally stunted man with schizophrenia who believed he could resurrect his mother from the dead by making a skin suit out of corpses. But when detectives uncovered his house of horrors, the media took the bizarre story and ran with it. Since then, Gein has inspired some of the scariest American films - from Norman Bates (Psycho), to Leatherface (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), to Buffalo Bill (The Silence of the Lambs). And while Gein's story has become a folk tale of sorts, Na'im and Xia attempt to debunk some of the myths surrounding him.

Sexual misconduct in schools is nothing new, and while the majority of perps are male, there seems to be a growing number of female teachers who have been making headlines for similar offenses. Perhaps the most well-recognized case that exemplifies this trend is that of Mary Kay Letourneau, who groomed and eventually married her 12 year old student, but there have been several, more recent examples since. Na'im and Xia discuss gender differences at play in these situations, the unfair power dynamics, as well as potential mental impacts the abuse has on victims.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?

In an attempt to 'blur the lines between fiction and reality', amateur filmmaker Mark Twitchell acted out his fantasy by pretending to be the TV character Dexter Morgan. Only instead of taking out a 'bad guy' under the guise of vigilantism and getting away with it because it's a TV show, Twitchell lured an unsuspecting victim into a rented garage, murdered him in cold blood, and got caught. Luckily Mark is in prison now, where he was finally able to catch up on all the seasons of Dexter...Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

The case JonBenét Ramsey is considered by many to be the biggest unsolved murder in contemporary American history. In the 90s, her face was on the cover of every tabloid on the supermarket checkout line. The public, demanding justice, blamed the Ramsey parents for her death and subsequently dragged the family through the mud. There are a few theories on who hurt JonBenét that continue to circulate, but one thing is clear: the police need to test and retest DNA samples using forensic genealogy before it's too late.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Carl Panzram may not be the most famous criminal in US history, but once you learn about him, it's impossible to forget his name. Born in Minnesota in 1891 and executed in Kansas in 1930, Panzram managed to commit just about every crime in the book in his short 39 years on earth. And he didn't let borders stop him - he committed heinous acts abroad in both Europe and Africa as well. Carl claimed to have been made into the monster that he was, and his case still raises questions about nature, nurture, and prison reform.

Three days after the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2024, the bodies of Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington were found frozen in the backyard of their friend Joran Willis' house. While their deaths were certainly suspicious, there was no evidence of foul play - though the internet was ripe with theories at the time. It wasn't until the toxicology report revealed that the men overdosed on cocaine and fentanyl, that Willis and his drug dealer were charged.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

The retrial and acquittal of Karen Read has been a media sensation, mostly because this was one of a few cases in recent history in which the defendant's innocence was glaringly obvious. And although Read is now a free woman (save for a minor DUI charge), there are still many unanswered questions surrounding the death of her boyfriend, John O'Keefe. What happened that night at 34 Fairview Road in Canton, Massachusetts? And why wasn't the inside of the house ever searched? Lastly, if Read isn't responsible for O'Keefe's death, who is? Na'im and Xia have their own theories, and hope that one day the truth will come out.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Episode 13 of True Dat features a special guest, comedian LeMaire Lee!! The trio covers the unbelievable story of Delimar Vera, a girl who was kidnapped from her burning home at just 10 days old by a distant relative and raised under a different name. While authorities concluded that the baby succumbed to the fire, her birth mother knew in her heart that something was wrong, and never stopped searching for her daughter. Six years later, at a family party, Delimar's mother sees a little girl who has an uncanny resemblance to her. Through some cunning detective work of her own, Delimar's mother's instincts are proven right, and the two are ultimately reunited.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__ali?lang=enFollow LeMaire:https://www.instagram.com/lemairelee/?hl=enhttps://x.com/lemairelee?lang=enWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Back in the day, if you were a young man who wanted to make a quick buck in Philly, word on the street was that you could go see 'Fast Eddie' AKA Ed Savitz. Savitz was a successful business man and well-known child predator who operated for decades in West Philadelphia, relatively unscathed. By the time he was caught, 'Fast Eddie' had developed a highly detailed system of abuse, evidenced by the thousands of photos he kept in a storage unit, along with hundreds of garbage bags of his victim's undergarments.Follow Xia:https://www.instagram.com/xia_land/?hl=enhttps://x.com/xia_land?lang=enFollow Na'im:https://www.instagram.com/naim__ali/?hl=enhttps://x.com/naim__aliWant more True Dat?Go to https://gasdigital.com/ to get the episodes early, uncensored, and ad-free.

Chris Benoit's story is a prime example of what CTE can do to people. Over the course of one weekend in 2007, Benoit went from being one of the top wrestlers in the WWE, to a man who annihilated his family, and finally, himself. Because of his heinous crimes, the WWE has tried to erase him from their history books, yet it's hard to ignore the fact that doctors claimed that at around the time of his death, Benoit's brain was functioning at an equivalent to that of an 85-year-old's with Alzheimers.

Episode 9 of True Dat covers the death of Ellen Greenberg, an elementary school teacher from Philadelphia who was found deceased in her apartment by her boyfriend in 2011.

Have you ever done something small that ended up having catastrophic consequences? Well, James Scott did, and that's who we're talking about in episode 6 of True Dat! Scott is one of a handful of Americans charged with 'causing a catastrophe' - he's currently serving life in prison, bearing the responsibility for the 'Great Flood of 1993'. The flood was an environmental disaster, costing $15 billion in damages to the city of Quincy, IL and the surrounding areas, though luckily no one was killed.

This next episode of True Dat will give you another reason to hate the healthcare system - that's right, we're talking about Charles Cullen AKA 'The Angel of Death'.
