DeepSummary
Jobeth and Donna are the hosts of a comedy true crime podcast called 'Women Talkin' 'Bout Murder'. In this episode, they interview Mike Jones, a convicted serial killer who claims he accidentally killed his three wives during separate water skiing accidents on Lake Norman. Mike tries to flirt with Donna and Jobeth while describing the bizarre details of how each wife died in what was ruled a 'freak accident' by the police, until they finally arrested him after the third wife's death.
Mike portrays himself as a tough, manly 'basic white guy' with tattoos and a motorcycle. He claims he only had affairs to be a better husband and provide his wives better sexual satisfaction. Donna seems intrigued by Mike's persona, while Jobeth remains skeptical of his story and is disturbed by his flirtatious advances.
At the end, Jobeth and Donna reiterate their key takeaways about the dangers of boats and getting married. Jobeth expresses regret about letting the call with Mike get carried away but admits it provided a fascinating, if uncomfortable, look into the mind of a killer.
