This week on Spilling the Tea, your two Nashville besties dive into one of the most disturbing true crime cases in American history: Ed Gein, the man who inspired horror icons like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.

But here’s the thing — Netflix and pop culture love to paint him as this unstoppable, bloodthirsty monster… and the truth is way more complicated (and somehow, even creepier).

We’re breaking down what really happened vs what’s been exaggerated for entertainment and while we’re unpacking the “monster,” we also have to ask — why are we so obsessed with him? Why do we binge this stuff in the dark like it’s self-care? And… are we the true monsters for turning real tragedy into entertainment?

Expect spooky details, lots of side tangents (because we cannot stay focused), and the kind of existential dread that only true crime can serve.

This week, Whitney and Liz attempt to stay on topic… and absolutely do not. We kick things off by spiraling about Nashville crime rates “skyrocketing” (according to vibes, TikTok, and our own anxiety), and whether we should be concerned or just stop scrolling The Scoop.

From there, we dip our toes into true crime cases in Nashville...the eerie kind that make you double-check your locks but still somehow keep listening. Just enough detail to make you say, “Wait… WHAT?”

Naturally, this leads to ghost stories (because Nashville is haunted, we will not be taking questions), several ADHD-powered detours that make sense eventually (kind of) and a sudden reminder that we are in our healthy era (physically, emotionally, spiritually… sometimes mentally). Brace yourselves for our dark humor and sudden side convos that hijack the episode.

If you love true crime, ghost stories, unhinged commentary, and listening to two gals get off track in real time, this episode is for you.

It has finally come - the days when we say "well back in my day..." so come take a stroll with us as we reminisce about our childhood and the good ole days! Grab a sunny D, a tang, or even a kool aid burst and laugh along with us as we talk about tamagotchis, floppy disks and razor scooters, oh my!
