In this first episode of Season 8, Greg and Patrick decide it is deeply unfair that the podcast has not grown popular enough for them to buy their own Quantitude jet. They thus decide to make it a true crime podcast and dedicate the episode to revisiting the crimes and punishment of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing. They plagiarize other true crime podcasts to delve into the case and determine if justice was served.
