His survival story is both disturbing and strangely inspiring.The conversation shifts to modern relationships as we discuss a Florida couple arrested for their overly enthusiastic public displays of affection, Elizabeth Holmes' apparent connection to a new medical startup despite being behind bars, and an OnlyFans model's controversial plan to help virgin men avoid becoming "incels" through intimate encounters.

Send us a textThe world keeps getting weirder, and we're here to make sense of it all. From supernatural encounters to technological controversies, this episode explores the bizarre landscape of human experience in the digital age.We start with the peculiar case of a 75-year-old Long Island widower found with 100 dead cats in his basement. Is this a criminal deserving punishment or an elderly man suffering from mental illness? The lines blur as we examine the circumstances around his animal hoarding and the appropriate societal response.Our journey continues with the disturbing theory that accused murderer Brian Koberger committed his crimes to impress a former professor – a twisted attempt to demonstrate his intelligence through what he thought would be the "perfect crime." The case raises questions about academic obsession spiraling into violence.We tackle Hollywood's curious trend of replacing redheaded characters with Black actors, exploring what this means for representation while keeping things light. The conversation shifts to our heartwarming "Bud of the Week" – an eight-year-old Kentucky boy who ordered 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops on Amazon to share with friends, showcasing childhood generosity in its purest form.Perhaps most fascinating is our exploration of "widow's fire" – the documented phenomenon where grief transforms into increased sexual desire. We examine one woman's claim of experiencing a threesome with her deceased husband's ghost, considering how people maintain connections with loved ones who've passed.The episode concludes with a troubling look at AI's role in courtrooms, where technology now creates digital versions of murder victims to deliver impact statements written by family members. This practice raises profound ethical questions about technology, justice, and putting words in the mouths of the dead.Join us for an episode that balances humor with thoughtful analysis as we navigate these strange territories.

Send us a textWhat makes a state kinky? According to a new survey, it's a combination of strip clubs, adult toy stores, OnlyFans accounts, and of course, your fetish-related search history. Nevada takes the crown as America's raunchiest state, while Wisconsin residents keep it tame with their top fetish being... socks? From "vor" (fantasizing about being consumed) to "ball busting" (exactly what it sounds like), we break down the surprising regional preferences that define American sexuality.The Karen Read murder case takes another turn as prosecutors reveal she called her ex-boyfriend 44 times between midnight and 6 AM on the night of his death. But as we discuss, this obsessive behavior might actually support her innocence rather than guilt. Would someone who committed murder really blow up their victim's phone afterward? It's giving desperate ex-girlfriend, not calculated killer.Meanwhile, the woman who went viral for defecating on a stranger's car turns out to be a foot fetish OnlyFans creator offering "toe-tally" experiences for just $7.99 monthly. And at the Met Gala, K-pop star Lisa sparked controversy by wearing underwear featuring Rosa Parks' image – a fashion choice that has us asking where exactly the line between commemoration and disrespect lies.We round out the episode with stories that defy explanation: the man who hid naked in his ex's shower with a knife (claiming it was just a "prank"), another who caused a town lockdown with a rifle-shaped bong, and a registered sex offender who urinated in a church's holy water.

Send us a textCould New England be harboring a serial killer? Despite law enforcement's adamant denials, the discovery of twelve bodies across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts between March and April raises serious questions. We dive into why officials seem more concerned with debunking "online sleuths" than solving these crimes, and what the evidence actually suggests.The stupidity of criminal minds takes center stage when we explore the case of two New Jersey teenagers who deliberately set a 15,000-acre wildfire, then told police "Mexicans did it." Their brilliant plan unraveled when investigators found text messages contradicting their story. Now facing charges of aggravated arson and hindering apprehension, these teens demonstrate what happens when poor judgment meets even worse cover-up attempts.Elizabeth Smart's kidnapper Wanda Barzee is back in custody after being spotted feeding ducks in a park—a violation of her sex offender restrictions. We examine the troubling fact that Barzee served less than her original 15-year sentence due to a "miscalculation," while her accomplice received life imprisonment. The disparity raises uncomfortable questions about how our justice system treats female accomplices versus male perpetrators in violent crimes.In other disturbing news, approximately 100 dead cats were discovered in a Long Island home, with three survivors rescued from what must have been a nightmare scenario. On a more hopeful note, we share the incredible story of Mirage, a 12-year-old tabby who survived a 380-foot fall in Bryce Canyon National Park that tragically killed its owners.Join us for a blend of true crime analysis, social commentary, and uncomfortable laughs as we process these bizarre headlines.

Send us a textEver wondered what happens when someone has an affair with a married person in North Carolina? Apparently, they can be sued for wrecking a home. We kick off this episode exploring the fascinating "Home Wrecker Law" and the case of former NFL player Steve Smith Sr., who's facing a $100,000 lawsuit after an alleged affair with a married woman. The explicit text messages and confrontational phone calls make for a wild story that raises serious questions about personal accountability in relationships.From relationship drama to bizarre legislation, we venture into Texas where lawmakers are bizarrely focused on banning "furries" from schools. The "Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Role Playing in Education Act" (yes, that spells FURRIE) might just be the strangest piece of legislation we've covered yet. While students struggle with math and science, Texas politicians are worried about kids dressing as animals—making us wonder about priorities in our educational system.Things get even messier as we dive into the case of Pennsylvania's "Delco Pooper," a woman who took road rage to a whole new level by defecating on a stranger's car after being called a "fat bitch." Her mugshot alone tells a story, but her claim that it was a "clean poop" had us all questioning humanity. We round things out with a controversial Arizona bar that created t-shirts comparing their underage drinking bust to 9/11, offending pretty much everyone with a conscience. Between paying respects to a 98-year-old Mets superfan with an unfortunately hilarious name and closing with some Winnie the Pooh wisdom, this episode showcases the absurdity of American legislation and human behavior when pushed to extremes.Whether you're fascinated by weird laws, bizarre human behavior, or just need a good laugh at the expense of those who take themselves too seriously, this episode delivers.

Send us a textHeartbreak and betrayal strike as we uncover the devastating truth about the viral "sperm race" sensation that captivated millions. What appeared to be an innovative sporting competition was nothing more than an elaborate AI-generated hoax created by a 17-year-old from the Bay Area. Our hosts process their disappointment in real-time, mourning what could have been the world's most unique sporting event while examining how easily we can all be fooled by increasingly sophisticated technology.In a somber shift, we pay tribute to Jill Sobule, the groundbreaking singer-songwriter behind the original 1995 hit "I Kissed a Girl," who tragically perished in a house fire at age 66. We reflect on how her music challenged social norms when LGBTQ+ themes were still considered taboo in mainstream culture, predating similar pop cultural moments by decades.The conversation takes several wild turns as we debate whether dogs should be allowed in grocery stores (spoiler: probably not when they're licking the produce), examine a gruesome murder case involving a Colombian porn performer, and share a cautionary tale about why you should always wash thrifted clothes before wearing them—unless mysterious facial bumps are your desired aesthetic.We wrap with the ironic story of a Kentucky lottery winner who celebrated his $167 million jackpot by allegedly kicking a police officer in the face, proving once again that money can't buy common sense. His girlfriend, aptly named Fightmaster, joined in the chaos, living up to her surname in spectacular fashion.Whether you're mourning the loss of what could have been the world's most exciting sperm competition or contemplating your next thrift store purchase, this episode reminds us that in a world full of deception and danger, sometimes all we can do is laugh and remind ourselves that everything's gonna be okay, bud.Support the showSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

While medical experts cast doubt on her story, it opens up a fascinating conversation about disease transmission and perhaps relationship alibis gone wrong.From strange infections to dangerous obsessions, we examine the disturbing case of a misogynist armed with a crossbow who attacked two women in Leeds before taking his own life. His plans for an "Otley Run Massacre" thankfully fell far short of his deranged ambitions, leading to a discussion about the twisted psychology behind such attacks and society's fascination with these stories.Technology takes center stage as we unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming our world in unexpected ways. Australian radio listeners were shocked to discover their favorite host "Thye" was actually an AI creation after six months of daily broadcasts. Meanwhile, deepfake technology poses serious threats to our justice system, with experts warning that fabricated video evidence could send innocent people to prison. The recently passed "Take It Down Act" aims to criminalize deepfake revenge porn, but could it be misused by politicians to suppress criticism?We wrap up with a journey into the world of UFO conspiracies, exploring claims that the Vatican holds secret knowledge about extraterrestrial encounters and the chilling assertion from renowned researcher Jacques Vallée that UFOs have deliberately caused human deaths.
