#461 - Wife Swap Snap - Beach City, Ohio

James Pietragallo, Jimmie Whisman
About this episode

This week, in Beach City, Ohio, a very different kind of family goes on the reality show "Wife Swap", seeming a little odd, but having a real family connection. A few years later, things are much different, when police respond to a 911 hang up call, to find a horrible & bloody scene, with the killer still clinging to life. What could have caused this very close family to explode in violence?


Along the way, we find out that we don't want anything to do with "Amish comedy", that there may be such a thing as too close of a fmaily, and that you can only control & monitor someone, so much, before bad results occur!


Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie Whisman
