The Goodboys? Catching Predators and Getting Views

April 18, 2025 · 28 min

Show notes

I talk to Adam, Deen, and Ryan: "The Goodboys" about the Tik Tok and Youtube videos they make. We discuss pranking police officers, the motivations behind their predator hunting content, and what happened when they caught their maths teacher allegedly trying to meet a 15 year old boy for sex. 


👩‍⚖️ LEGAL NOTE: I am not aware of any ongoing legal action regarding the predator sting we discuss in this episode. Out of an abundance of caution, I have still bleeped out the name of the teacher in question.  


⚠ CONTENT WARNING: Child sexual abuse is discussed throughout.
