We're Actually Human

The Guilty Files

This week on The Guilty Files, things look a little different—but don’t worry, we haven’t lost the plot (just maybe our minds). In this raw and unfiltered bonus episode, Brian and Dani pull back the curtain and get real about the chaos, curveballs, and caffeine it takes to keep this podcast alive. With life throwing punches and production delays piling up, they’re hitting pause on the usual case deep dives to share a heartfelt update, a few behind-the-scenes laughs, and some truly wild stories from their past lives in law enforcement.
From Dani’s unforgettable origin story as “Door Slam Dani” to Brian’s ride-along from hell featuring the mayor’s nephew, Yeezys, and an Instagram livestream gone horribly wrong, this episode is equal parts vulnerable and unhinged. It's also a love letter to the people who keep showing up—the listeners who’ve become part of the foundation as The Guilty Files grows brick by brick into something big. You’ll also hear how the team juggles not one, but three major shows (including Sasquatch Odyssey and Disturbing History), and what it really takes to run a studio while still showing up to tell the stories that matter.

It’s chaotic. It’s real. And it’s a reminder that sometimes the best episodes are the ones where we show up not with all the answers, but with the truth—and a few disaster stories for good measure.Tune in, laugh with us, groan with us, and remember: we’re all just doing our best. The case files are still coming. But today? We’re letting it breathe.
