April 25th, 2025, I woke up to heartbreaking news. Todd Teal, My life long friend of 35+ years, as well as band mate, and the original co-host of CKCB had passed away from an apparent heart attack.

This episode is a tribute to Todd. I've taken segments from 7 episodes that stuck out in my mind, that were very funny, and put them in this episode. I've also included messages from his friends, as well as other podcasters who were on episodes with him.

Its a touching way for people to remember him, and hear and see him laughing and having fun. There's not just this. He was on over 90 episodes of this show. That's well over half the catalog! RIP, Brother...I'll catch you on the flip side.

You might remember him as the trigger man in Boyz in the Hood, but Lloyd Avery II’s story didn’t stop when the cameras stopped rolling.

In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer,we crack open a cold one and dive into the wild and tragic descent of a Hollywood actor who blurred the lines between fiction and reality.

Avery’s rise from South Central to the big screen was meteoric—and short-lived. What followed was a shocking spiral into gang life, a double homicide, and one of the most bizarre prison deaths we’ve ever covered. Fame, violence, and a brutal end—this is a story you won’t forget.

Grab a beer. Let’s get into it.

NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to April 25, when Todd died. The previous episode was recorded after, because I wanted to address his death on the next episode that I released. Kevin from History Goon once again joins Bill on this one, and as of the time of release, Kevin’s podcast, History Goon has been released! Show link is with the links below.

In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, wetake a deep breath and dive into one of the most disturbing and controlling religious movements in modern America — the Word of Faith Fellowship, led by the iron-fisted Jane Whaley. From her pulpit in Spindale, North Carolina, Whaley built a cult cloaked in Christianity, where members endured public beatings, emotional manipulation, and “blasting” prayers that sounded more like exorcisms than sermons.

We break down Jane’s rise from math teacher to spiritualdictator, the shocking allegations of abuse and isolation, and the hold she maintained over followers for decades — even banning laughter, music, and contact with the outside world. It’s a tale of spiritual control, psychological domination, and the terrifying power of blind faith.

Grab a beer — you’re gonna need it — and join us as we pullback the curtain on the Word of Faith Fellowship cult, wheresalvation came with a side of fear.
