Presenting Gone South Season 4

The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He’s nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination.  The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD.  A man passes by him muttering -  “Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?” Another citizen points and squeals -  “He’s the one! He’s the one!” With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care.  This man just won $50.  How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn’t even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run… and yet.  There is a lookalike contest for the killer? Most Americans have been asking themselves this past week - who really is the true victim here? Is it the one that was shot and killed? Or is it the shooter himself? Or is it all of us?

“To Catch A Predator” steps: Hire an adult decoy to lurk on websites advertising themselves as 13 year olds looking for a middle aged companion.  Invite the adult predator to a house that has been wired for audio and video recording.  Have the host of the famous TV show pop out to ask the predator questions and arrest them on the way out.  That is the premise to the show “To Catch A Predator” that has now been cancelled for its moral dilemmas.  But now influencers are recreating the show themselves on their platforms. Luring in predators, confronting them, and then calling the police.  That’s what 17 year old Gavon tells the cops was his plan… He met up with a middle aged man on Grindr for the purpose of robbing him because he deserves it. Why else would he talk to a minor? But for the police to believe his side of the story they have to go through his phone… and that’s where they find a folder titled - “Dark.”  The password? “Murder.”  Suddenly a simple robbery case turns into a murder investigation because in it… are videos and photos of 17 year old Gavon Ramsay killing and SAing a 98 year old woman in her own home. Gavon Ramsay is the predator.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you trust a random stranger to give you life-altering advice? A TikToker is standing on the sidewalk with a giant pasteboard - “ASK ME FOR FREE ADVICE.”  A middle aged man on a bike stops and asks “Do I go to Uzbekistan or stay here?” The whole exchange is bizarre. She asks him why would he move? He tells her for a woman. She asks him why doesn’t he just date an American woman? He tells her that he’s already married with kids… All of this is made more confusing by the fact that the entire time the man appears calm. He’s pleasant and keeps smiling…  That TikTok is filmed in June. In August, just 2 months later, a man goes missing in one of the deepest lakes in the state. He’s presumed dead.  But why does he look identical to the man in the TikTok video? Did this man actually drown?  Or did he fake his death, abandon his wife and kids, to be with a new woman?

“I woke up alone in a hospital. There is nobody here. I can’t find a single person. Humanity is extinct. The date is February 2027.” That is from a viral TikToker, Javier, who claims he is from the future to warn us about humanity. But there’s no way he’s actually from the future, right? Meanwhile, in Miami - an IG model is telling the police - “the aliens are coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming.” The authorities are confused. She tells them - “I’m from the future. I’m a crystal ball. You can live off me.” The police ask her if she remembers what happened.  “Yes, I remember. I died.” Puzzling. Because she’s not dead. She is very much alive but just one block down there are two people that are dead and they’re not coming back.  Full Source Note: www.rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

When you walk into an Abercrombie & Fitch store - just know, that they’re watching you. They know that most likely you will take a right upon entering. They know approximately how long you will stay in the store. What the scent and the music of the store does to impact your spending.  But most importantly - they know that you were lured in by the shirtless guys standing out in the front. Each employee is meticulously hand selected for their looks and attitude. It’s all about the brand.  This is all the work of then CEO, Mike Jeffries, a “mad genius.” Who has now been indicted for running a sex trafficking ring of male models.  His alleged ties and connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy are starting to come to light. With everyone wondering - how did this go on for decades?

It’s the middle of the day in South Korea. Koreans are at work, grabbing lunch, picking up their kids from school, minding their own business.  Amongst them is an American man named Ramsey- who clearly does not look like he’s up to any good.  He’s live-streaming on his phone while glancing from side to side.  When he feels the coast is clear he takes out his portable speaker… and starts playing… Diddy’s song “Last Night.” He runs in front of the camera, takes off his shirt, and starts pouring baby oil down his torso.  He starts dancing on the female figure in front of him. Sexually rubbing his body on her frame.  This video will go viral in South Korea. And a new game will start - hunting Ramsey.  Objective of the game? Hunt Ramsey.  Find Ramsey.  Punch Ramsey. Because the female figure he tried smothering in baby oil is not any random statue. It is the statue representing the hundreds of thousands of young girls who were taken, enslaved, and SA’d dozens of times per day for years during the war.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In September 2024, Eminem released a new song - the lyrics read: “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R  Got so many SAs  Wait  He didn’t just spell the word rapper and leave out a P-Didhe? RIP, rest in peace Biggie and Pac  Both of y’all should be living  Cause he might put a hit on me like - Keefe D get em” Notorious BIG & Tupac were two of the most influential musicians in the world. They were both murdered within 6 months of each other, and Diddy has always been connected to their deaths.  One of them - he saw as his competition  Another he saw as his money-making machine.  Which means - did Eminem just ask the question - Did Diddy kill them?
