Guest pod!! In this episode we are joined by friends and Patrons Jamie and Beth! This is a deep dive, so we had to cut it into two episodes. Tiff decides to entertain all of us with the topic of the Bloody Benders, a "family" of serial killers from Kansas in the 1800s, not a bloody poop disease as the name might suggest.  Bonus Shameless Plugging: Go follow Jamie on Twitch as BigJay1066...

A real podcast about fake animals that might really exist, but its all fake with real evidence. As you probably guessed, we dive into cryptids, and in particular the famous Michigan Dog Man! Also, a big announcement about the future of the podcast.  Support the show

Follow us down the rabbit hole that stemmed from the nursery rhyme "The London Bridge Is Falling Down." This lead to fires, crazy houses, Viking attacks and medieval torture. You might even add a new US location to your bucket list....don't worry, we'll get to it.  Support the show

We're talking about another disease guys.... the measles! Learn about why this disease is so scary and watch out for paint cans. You'll get it, after Scott has to explain it because someone is bad at pop culture references.  Support the show

If you aren't already anti-prohibition, and if you listen to us we assume you are, then this episode will reinforce your hatred. Making booze illegal is one thing, but to poison the bootleggers source of industrial alcohol is a whole other level of ridiculous. Pop open a bottle of your favorite legal spirit and join us!

Our first guest on the pod! To test the collaborative podcast waters, we had Patron (and Tiff's best friend) Murphy on to talk about hair.

You read that right, Tiff decides to go super depressing with the Oklahoma City Bomber himself on this episode. It's worse than you imagine, and we only skim the surface with this one. Come learn a thing or two about America's most infamous domestic terrorist attack.  Support the show

By popular demand (one suggestion on YouTube) we are covering the tragic plane crash that killed an entire Russian hockey team. In 2011, the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv's team plane went down shortly after takeoff from a local airport. This one requires vodka...and lots of it.  Support the show

So, we have no power. A wicked storm ripped through our hometown and knocked out power to most of the county. Good news, besides a tree down, we are fine. Bad news, we have no way to record/edit/upload a new episode. To resolve this issue we are releasing our original bonus episode that was previously Patreon only. Consider this the ultimate #shamelessplug to what you will find over on our Patreon...

Just a heads up, the title is misleading. This one is about the Edmund Fitzgerald and how it sunk in Lake Superior amongst a storm in 1975. The rest will all makes sense as you listen...hopefully.  Support the show

So you think you know what a Siren is? You, like us, are probably wrong. This episode we look at the misconception of Siren's and how they evolved throughout history. This one is less murder-y and more fantastical.  Enjoy, just don't follow us into the water.  Support the show

Join us as we cover the highly publicized execution of Rainey Berthea. The execution wasn't botched, but this episode sure was.

Let's all learn about the Soo (pronounced Sue) Locks, located in Sault (also pronounced Sue) Ste Marie, MI. These are the Great Lakes version of the Panama Canal, and are one of Michigan's most prominent features. And of course, Tiff has some terrible story about boats with funny names crashing. Come take a listen and laugh along.  Support the show

In honor of Shark Week we decided to dive into the worlds largest shark attack. Hundreds of oceanic white tip sharks prey on hundreds of capsized seamen when the USS Indianapolis went down in 1945.

An unsolved shorty? Yup! Tiff goes for a more light hearted one this time around, but decides to do an unsolved one just to piss Scott off. Come listen to how the Wacker's (easy jokes) were tormented at their home in the 1980s.  Support the show

Warning, this episode is gruesome. Tiff decides to dive into the always fun topic of executions.

Grab your vat of wine (without a human in it) and squirm your way through this one.  Support the show

This week we come back to Michigan with a murder of state Senator. One of Michigan's most infamous unsolved murders is that of Warren Hooper, who was allegedly assassinated by The Purple Gang in the 1940s, in connection with the corrupt politicians of the day. Its gruesome, and we were plenty drunk, so...enjoy! Support the show

In a more light hearted approach, this week we talk about the mysterious fires of the Hackler Family house from 1940s. While Tiff likes to think these are seemingly unexplained, Scott is convinced that the wife is behind it all along. Take a listen and let us know what you think. #MinnieDidIt Support the show
