Show notes

In August 1987, two Arkansas teenagers stumbled into the woods for a midnight hunting trip and walked right into an active, high-stakes drug drop. Hours later, their bodies were laid out across train tracks to be crushed by a freight train. What started as an absurd official ruling of "accidental marijuana stupor" quickly unraveled into a terrifying web of local corruption, a trail of murdered grand jury witnesses, the CIA-linked Mena airport, and state-level protection reaching all the way to the Governor’s Mansion.

The Teen Lover in the Attic Murder Jul 15, 2026

Show notes

Imagine having a secret lover. Now imagine hiding him in your attic crawlspace for nine years while your husband sleeps directly below.
In 1913, Dolly Oesterreich—the wife of a wealthy Milwaukee apron tycoon—seduced a 17-year-old factory mechanic named Otto Sanhuber. To keep the affair alive, Dolly convinced Otto to legally "disappear" and move permanently into her uninsulated attic. For nearly a decade, Otto lived like a subterranean ghost—cleaning, writing pulp fiction, and serving as Dolly's on-demand secret.But when Dolly's husband gets violent, Otto drops down from the ceiling holding two semi-automatic pistols... and things get way weirder from there.From the secret cross-country smuggling of a human being to pistols buried under rosebushes, the La Brea Tar Pits, a rotating carousel of new lovers, and the most outrageous legal loophole in court history, this is a story you have to hear to believe.

The Cisco Grove Robot Alien Encounter Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

In September 1964, a 26-year-old missile tracking technician named Donald Shrum went bow-hunting in the Tahoe National Forest. He expected to bring home some venison—he didn’t expect to spend 12 grueling hours trapped in a pine tree fighting an interstellar tactical squad.Throw out everything you think you know about sophisticated, peaceful alien abductions. The Cisco Grove incident is a visceral, chaotic, retro-futuristic survival horror movie come to life. We’re talking short humanoids wrapped in seamless silver gimp suits and a five-foot-tall mechanical "robot" that looked like a smoke-belching 1950s refrigerator with glowing red eyes.When the entities surrounded his tree and started blasting him with suffocating knockout gas, Shrum didn't lie down and submit. He turned into a 1960s Rambo, launching hunting arrows that detonated into showers of blue sparks against metallic torsos. When the ammo ran dry, he resorted to pure, beautiful medieval desperation—lighting his own hunting cap on fire and raining burning garbage down on his cosmic captors.Join the guys this week as they dive deep into one of the most bizarre, physical, and downright ridiculous standoffs in UFO history. Grab your burning hats, strap yourselves to a branch, and let’s get weird.
