You might remember him as the trigger man in Boyzn the Hood, but Lloyd Avery II’s story didn’t stop when the cameras stopped rolling.

In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer,we crack open a cold one and dive into the wild and tragic descent of a Hollywood actor who blurred the lines between fiction and reality.

Avery’s rise from South Central to the big screen was meteoric—and short-lived. What followed was a shocking spiral into gang life, a double homicide, and one of the most bizarre prison deaths we’ve ever covered. Fame, violence, and a brutal end—this is a story you won’t forget.

Grab a beer. Let’s get into it.

NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to April 25, when Todd died. The previous episode was recorded after, because I wanted to address his death on the next episode that I released. Kevin from History Goon once again joins Bill on this one, and as of the time of release, Kevin’s podcast, History Goon has been released! Show link is with the links below.

In this episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, wetake a deep breath and dive into one of the most disturbing and controlling religious movements in modern America — the Word of Faith Fellowship, led by the iron-fisted Jane Whaley. From her pulpit in Spindale, North Carolina, Whaley built a cult cloaked in Christianity, where members endured public beatings, emotional manipulation, and “blasting” prayers that sounded more like exorcisms than sermons.

We break down Jane’s rise from math teacher to spiritualdictator, the shocking allegations of abuse and isolation, and the hold she maintained over followers for decades — even banning laughter, music, and contact with the outside world. It’s a tale of spiritual control, psychological domination, and the terrifying power of blind faith.

Grab a beer — you’re gonna need it — and join us as we pullback the curtain on the Word of Faith Fellowship cult, wheresalvation came with a side of fear.

In this episode, we're cracking open a cold one and getting into the twisted saga of Clarence “Preacher” Heatley — a man whose nickname made him sound like a man of God, but whose actions were straight out of hell. Preacher wasn’t just a gangster — he was the head of a ruthless criminal enterprise that ran Harlem like a sermon soaked in blood.

From kidnapping and extortion to drug dealing and murder,Heatley’s Preacher Crew turned fear into currency and loyalty into a death sentence. We’re talking about a guy who turned a hotel into his personal torture chamber and handed down his own brand of justice like it was gospel. You’ll hear how he rose to power, what brought him down, and why his story still sends a chill down New York’s spine.

We also have sad news, regarding Todd, the first CKCB co-host, and we’re joined once again by History Goon, Kevin Carleton...And, he has an announcement!
