The Creep Dive

This week on The Creep Dive, Sophie brings us the truly bananas story of Donald Crowhurst, a hobbyist sailor, inventor, businessman and possible Olympic-level bluffer, who entered a solo round-the-world yacht race despite having a boat that was barely ready, a business that was collapsing, and a personal relationship with reality that was about to become extremely negotiable. What begins as a desperate attempt to save face turns into a fake voyage, a vanishing act, a psychological collapse at sea, and one of the strangest, saddest mysteries ever to bob around the Atlantic.
Cassie also brings us an outbreak boat, Jen brings deep suspicion and boat opinions, and somehow everyone ends up discussing sea madness, fake logs, cosmic beings and whether men should be allowed hobbies.

The girls tackle the increasingly viral story of the 11 scientists a cluster of researchers linked to propulsion, plasma physics, nuclear weapons, orbital comms and advanced military tech who have either died or vanished in the last couple of years. Jen walks through the names, what they were actually working on, what can be verified, what absolutely cannot, and why the internet has gone feral with theories about UAP tech, anti-gravity, foreign intelligence, and the possibility of fossil-fuel-ending breakthroughs being buried before they ever see daylight. It’s murky, fascinating, occasionally very thin, and deeply unsettling. Also: Trump, Bob Lazar, Los Alamos, and the tiny little issue of whether the people in charge would ever let the world change that much.

This week: an AI girlfriend dumps her human boyfriend (correctly), a German celebrity finds herself at the centre of a deeply unsettling AI deepfake scandal that’s now causing protests and legal fallout, a billionaire dies in circumstances that feel… a bit Succession, and we meet a footballer who simply never played football but still lived the full lifestyle.
Honestly, reality is hanging on by a thread.

He wasn’t escaping jail. He was sneaking into one. This week we cover the absolutely unhinged true story of a prison reform star who broke into a brand-new prison and hid loaded weapons in the walls like some sort of deeply traumatised Batman.

A shirtless tourist tries to kidnap a flamingo from a Las Vegas casino and somehow that’s only the beginning. This week the gals dive into the absolute animal chaos of Vegas: the bizarre story of the Flamingo Hotel heist, the shocking truth behind a famous Vegas show featuring dancing orangutans, and Elvis Presley’s pet chimp who developed a taste for whiskey and started attacking guests at Graceland. Meanwhile Cassie brings the darkness with the horrifying story of a French doctor who preyed on Jewish people trying to escape during WWII. Flamingos, primates, Vegas madness and wartime monsters... just another normal week on The Creep Dive.
