Episode 216: Mia’s Nightmare, James’s Mirror Man And Yiya Murano’s Cyanide Tea | Monique & Amy

The girls are back with an episode that starts with mystical Russian Orthodox nightmare fuel and ends with Argentina turning a serial killer into Friendship Day merch. Totally normal. First, Amy tells the story of Mia and James, a mysterious ex-boyfriend from an Otherworld Patreon story who casually claimed he could have the dreams of people he slept next to. Cute first date chat? No, thank you. Then he accurately described Mia’s lifelong recurring childhood nightmare, the one she had never told anyone about, and somehow, after that, the nightmare stopped. And if that wasn’t enough, Mia later saw James’s body in a mirror with a completely different old man’s face, and when James told his therapist, she admitted she had seen the same man too. Then Monique takes us to Buenos Aires for the story of Yiya Murano, the so-called Poisoner of Montserrat, a woman obsessed with status, elegance and living like a socialite on money she did not have. After running a Ponzi scheme on her friends, Yiya allegedly solved her little financial problem by poisoning three women with cyanide. And somehow, after prison, Argentina said: we have a new pop culture icon. We’re talking TV appearances, mugs, memes and musicals. This episode has dream stealing, hooved angel warnings, poisoned pastries and a whole lot of “what the fuck?”
