In this episode The Gentleman and the disturbed Southern Belle continue their series on odd and dangerous modern jobs, discussing the duties, risks, typical qualifications, and average pay for roles from bomb technicians and Alaskan crab fishermen to crime scene cleaners, entomologists, epidemiologists, forensic psychologists, pathologists, police divers, taxidermists, and toxicologists.

They compare surprising pay levels with high danger, outline education and training requirements, and share anecdotes about the realities of working in these challenging and often gruesome fields.

Hosts introduce a short series exploring some of history’s most disturbing and strange occupations—from royal intimates like the Groom of the Stool and Whipping Boy to sewer divers, plague bearers, sin eaters, and gut‑twisting trades like violin‑string makers and lime burners.

Through a mix of dark humor and shock, the episode examines why these jobs existed, the dangers and status attached to them, and the harsh realities faced by those who did the work.

This episode explores four heartbreaking Valentine's Day cases where lover's quarrels ended in murder, including the deaths of Tara Grant, Gregory M. Stack, Tomika Peterson, and Michelle Gomez.

The hosts discuss patterns of domestic violence, motives like jealousy and control, the limits of restraining orders, and the challenges victims face when trying to escape dangerous relationships.
