Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 4, Episode 5: Mon Valley Mystery
Q: Do you think that Robert Marshall killed both Michael and Tony?
Professor Debbie expresses that there are too many coincidences among Tony, Michael, and Marshall, hinting that if they all interacted in the same area, it is possible that Marshall was involved in both murders.
Season 4, Episode 18: "Escape!"- Part 2
Q: Did you ever stop and say, Joyce, back off a little bit?
They never actually told me to stop, but they did say, you know, you're too friendly, you know, you're too nice.
Season 4, Episode 18: "Escape!"- Part 2
Q: Did you think perhaps you were crossing some sort of a line?
I was at first, but then I guess I got a little too comfortable.
