Who are the Carpet People? They’re two separate guys - Kevin Carpet and Georgio the Human Carpet - who have nothing to do with one another, yet they each inexplicably wrap themselves up in carpet to lie down in New York nightclubs, hoping that people will step on them.

Kalachi, the Town That Couldn't Stop Sleeping | Case File #232 Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

So, who are the people of Kalachi, Kazakhstan, and why did an entire town just decide to nap for days on end? Well, they didn’t exactly “decide” – but, in a phenomenon that still has people confounded years later, hundreds of villagers in Kalachi started randomly falling asleep for days. And by that, we don’t mean they got extra comfy on the couch; we’re talking multi-day comas. This town fell into the world’s longest nap, and even now, most folks have yet to piece together even a semi-coherent answer as to why.

The Sex Raft Experiment | Case File #230 Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

What is the sex raft experiment? In the extremely insane pantheon of insane 1970s science experiments, right next to dolphin handjobs and psychic spoon-bending, there lies one forgotten maritime debacle more Love Island than thesis. It was called the "Acali Experiment," but history remembers it by a better name: The Sex Raft.

The Mob Boss Who Pretended to Be Crazy For Decades | Case File #228 Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

Vincent “The Chin” Gigante was a crime boss infamous for two pretty stellar feats. One: sounding like a Dick Tracy villain. And two: feigning mental illness in order avoid prosecution for a lifetime of crime. Most surprisingly, he almost pulled it off.

Show notes

What is Roar? It’s a 1981 movie starring Noel Marshall, Tippi Hedren, and Melanie Griffith about a family that gets attacked by dozens of big cats. However, the movie itself isn’t all that interesting compared to the story behind it because throughout production, as many as 70 people were injured from those cats, making it one of the most dangerous film productions in history.
