Short Suck #9 - The US Human Body Trade May 10, 2024

Show notes

What happens to your body when it is donated to science? Does it actually end up in front of some doctor or medical student? Not necessarily. Sometimes it ends up being sold by nefarious body brokers to be used for explosive detonation testing or to add to the collection of some weirdo who just likes dead bodies. What happens to corpses in the US is not nearly as regulated as you probably think.

400 - Molly and Michael Jackson: Rolling on the King of Pop! May 06, 2024

Show notes

Michael Jackson is the most successful solo act in the history of recorded music. Only the Beatles have sold more albums. He has the top selling album of all time, Thriller. And the 5th best selling album of all time, Bad. He was arguably the most famous man in the history of the world at his career's peak. But also.... a very troubled, beyond eccentric person who was creepy with kids, at best, or... a pedophile. I try and explore his life today... while fighting against the effects of a double-dose of Molly... for Timesuck's 400th episode. Hail Nimrod and thanks for sticking around!!

399 - Osage Murders: The True Story Behind Killers of the Flower Moon Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

The Osage Reign of Terror - dramatized recently in the 2023 award winning Martin Scorsese film, Killers of the Flower Moon based on the 2017 book of the same name - has been described as an epidemic of murders and mysterious deaths among the people of the Osage Nation. This is a wild story of a preposterous amount of corruption, conspiracy, and cold-blooded killing. Most experts state that at least sixty murders - and quite possibly HUNDREDS - were committed between 1918 and 1931, with the majority of murders taking place between 1921 and 1926 in just one rural county in Oklahoma.

On Saturday night, April 11th, 1981, a young mother, her teenage son, and her son's teenage friend, were all violently murdered in the small, picturesque community of Keddie, California.

398 - August Engelhardt and the Coconut Cult Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

Did you know that in 1902, August Engelhardt travelled from Germany to a small island in the South Pacific and tried to build a community based mostly in worship of the sun, being naked all the time, and literally only eating coconuts? He tried for seventeen years. Oh yeah. This is a weird one.

397 - Jim Bakker: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of an American Grifter Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

Jim Bakker, and his wife, Tammy Faye, revolutionized tele-evangelism in the 1970s and 1980s. Their PTL Club, was, at it's height, pulling in millions a WEEK in donations to support their cause. But their cause was a lie. Jim was not who he claimed to be, and financial and sexual improprieties would send him to prison... before he got out and started running his scam all over again.

Short Suck #7 - Survive the Apocalypse in Style: The World of Luxury Doomsday Bunkers Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

Do you have a plan in mind for what you would do in a doomsday event like nuclear war, alien invasion, a deadly plague, some Terminator Skynet style "robots have turned against humanity" scenario, etc.? Some people do. Some very rich people. And it's insane what they're building in case everything goes off the rails.

Show notes

Ervil LeBaron was raised by a cult leader... would have several brothers who were cult leaders...and would father several more cult leaders. And out of all of them, he was the worst. The Mormon Manson loved to call for blood atonement - ordering the execution of between 20 and 30 people, many of them rival cult leaders.

394 - Serial Killer Richard Byrd: The Las Vegas Strip Strangler Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever heard of disturbing serial killer Richard Byrd? He raped and strangled eight young women to death in Las Vegas between 1991 and 2001, but almost no one has heard of him, because he was arrested... the day after 9/11. And he took a plea bargain and never went to trial. Hear his wild story today... and never think about hair brushes the same way again.
