On May 1st, 1900, at 10:28 in the morning, something ignited inside the
Winter Quarters No. 4 coal mine in Carbon County, Utah. At least 200 men
died. It is still the deadliest disaster of any kind in Utah history.

By lunchtime that day there were 107 widows and around 270 children
without a father, in a town of about 1,800 people. The local paper wrote
that every house, without exception, was a house of mourning. Utah ran
out of coffins and had to bring 75 more in from Denver by train.

The company gave each widow five hundred dollars, wiped out the debts the
miners owed at the company store, and reopened the mine 28 days later.
Nobody was ever held liable, even though the state mine inspector had
flagged that exact hazard three years earlier and again one month before
the explosion.

This Labor Day episode is about what happened to those men, what the
company did afterward, and what happened to the two towns they lived in.
Winter Quarters had a main street over a mile long and thirteen saloons.
It was empty by 1930. Scofield has 26 people living in it today. The only
thing in that valley that outlasted everything else is the cemetery.

This guy stole $100 million from people in his own faith community. Changed his name to do it. Used ABBA's "Money, Money, Money" as his actual radio theme song. And somehow, at his sentencing, some of the people he scammed stood up in court to defend him. Federal prosecutors called it one of the biggest fraud cases in Utah history. The court itself said he built a "cult of personality." The story is a good one...let me know what you think. 👀

He sold his company to Motorola, built the largest private home in Utah with an underground racetrack and a Disney-themed tunnel, and then just... stopped. Never finished it. Never explained why. Watched the price crash by two thirds before it finally sold, to someone nobody's ever named. Here's everything that's actually confirmed, and everything that's still a total mystery.

You see the pink boxes everywhere, but you probably don’t know how the empire actually started. This week, we’re looking at Crumbl. Specifically, Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, two guys with zero baking experience who built a $2 billion company using tech-world algorithms.

We’re diving into the full timeline, from the early days in Logan to the massive controversies that followed, including federal labor fines, local copycat lawsuits, and the sudden revenue drop that forced them to change their name.

• Listen now and remember: Stay nosey.

Ogden, Utah. 1974. What started as a routine closing shift at the Hi-Fi Shop turned into one of the most brutal and depraved crimes in American history. When three airmen from Hill Air Force Base walked into the shop with a blue gym bag, they weren’t just looking for electronics, they were looking to conduct a deadly "experiment."

In this episode, we go deep into the soundproofed basement of 2323 Washington Blvd. We detail the harrowing survival of Orren Walker, the tragic bravery of Michelle Ansley, and the 18-hour shift of investigator George Throckmorton, whose refusal to give up led to the "smoking gun" hidden under a barracks floor.

This isn't just a story of horror; it’s a testament to the resilience of the families who stayed unbroken and a community that stood together to demand justice.

Stay nosey.

Hi Nosey Neighbor. In 1990s Utah, one slogan was king: "One Call, That's All." It belonged to celebrity attorney Keith Barton, and he used his fame and fortune to build a 25,000-square-foot palace in Alpine that became the stuff of local legend.

But behind the gold leaf, marble floors, and grand ballroom, a shocking story was unfolding. In this episode, Nosey Neighbor is peeking over the fence to uncover the truth...or at least some of it. We're digging into the family lawsuits that exposed a staggering $40 million in debt, a secret lifestyle of chartered jets and lavish parties, and the financial chaos that brought the entire empire crashing down.

We'll take you to the dramatic courthouse auction where the mansion was lost for a fraction of its value, and reveal the stunning twist of its recent renovation and jaw-dropping $30 million price tag. Find out what really happened to Keith Barton and the incredible fate of the house that 'One Call' built. It's a cautionary tale of ambition, family drama, and the secrets hidden in the neighborhood's grandest homes.
