In this weeks episode, Kate and I discuss the horrific abuse that went on at the Willowbrook State School in Staten Island and how it only came to light after an ex employee contacted a local reported and snuck him inside the building.

Ever find yourself in a hair-raising situation, both literally and figuratively? Let's unravel the knots together! This week's episode spirals from the hilarious trials of taming a wild mane with mousse and a diffuser, to the heartwarming interactions with our community, including an adorable moment with Karen's grandson and his take on our tongue twister challenge.

Have your eyes ever been drawn skyward by the inexplicable? Ours sure have, especially after diving into firsthand accounts of the notorious Tic Tac UFO incident and chilling helicopter encounters that'll leave your head spinning faster than an unexplained aerial object. We discuss everything from the UAP Task Force's ongoing scrutiny to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, while pondering the true origins of these enigmatic sightings. And you bet we didn't skip on the personal anecdotes – everyone loves a good blooper or a misadventure involving Pina Colada tea, right?

Join us as we peer into the cosmic unknown and consider what message peace-bearing, potential celestial neighbors might be sending. You'll hear about tic-tac-shaped mysteries that defy physics, government insiders grappling with the implications of daily sightings over restricted airspace, and a drone footage debate that might just redefine the term 'bugging out.' Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for a heartwarming, hair-frizzing, and possibly universe-altering adventure!

Ever had a golden retriever who’s more couch potato than canine athlete? This episode has us in stitches sharing the shenanigans of dog ownership, like Caesar, who'd rather plant his paws than parade around the park. Our four-legged companions come with their own set of comical quirks, from having a 'selective' sense of hearing to planning forest adventures, we've got tails that'll tickle your funny bone. Then, we swap puppy tales for a stroll down history lane, where we unravel the curious case of the Green Children of Woolpit – a story that's as mystifying as it is geographically close to home.

Our chats veer from the dog park to the downright bizarre with the Green Children – kids with a hue that’d make even the Jolly Green Giant do a double-take. We chew over theories that span from extraterrestrial to earthly anemia about why these medieval children might've looked like they stepped out of a storybook. And the oddities don’t end there; we skip over to Kentucky where the people aren't just warm-hearted, but also once blue-skinned! By the episode's end, whether you're a dog lover, a history buff, or just in it for the laughs, you’re guaranteed to be intrigued by the colorful tales and mysteries we've fetched for you.

Pop the bubbly and toss a treat to your fur babies; our podcast has officially circled the sun! Celebrating our first year has us looking back at the Pollock Twins episode with a fresh set of eyes, beloved pets nestled at our feet. I'll even let you in on my secret for handling a rambunctious puppy and the laugh-out-loud negotiations with my ever-surprising teenagers. Join me for a stroll down memory lane, coupled with a pinch of tongue-twisting fun to kick off this anniversary special with a smile.

Yet, not all anniversaries are about celebration; some bring to light stories that challenge our understanding of human behavior. This season, we peel back the layers of a 2004 McDonald's incident that spiraled into a psychological labyrinth, unveiling the power of obedience over the phone. Follow the investigation with me, from the shocking discovery of similar hoax calls nationwide to the trial of David R. Stewart, and unravel the legal entanglements that leave us pondering the essence of responsibility.

Wrapping up, we grapple with the ethical quandaries presented by extreme obedience, exemplified by the Milgram experiment. The historical backdrop is stark, with moments like Jonestown and the Holocaust serving as harrowing reminders of the dark side of human nature. Our exploration might unsettle you as we reflect on individual accountability within the web of authority, leaving you to consider where you'd draw the line when confronted with questionable commands.

Imagine ringing in the New Year, only to discover your house has been burgled! That's one of the surprising tidbits we chew over amidst tales of superhuman feats in our latest podcast episode. We whisk you from the warmth of Josie's ninja-like kitchen prowess to the astonishing abilities that make the extraordinary seem ordinary. Join us as we marvel at individuals who redefine the limits of the human body, like Tim Cridland, the man who feels no pain, and a performer electrifying the audience, quite literally, on France's Got Talent.

Have you ever heard of someone whose body produces wire-like material or a girl who can see through skin and bone? We unravel these mysteries and more as we explore the enigmatic stories that leave us questioning the very fabric of human biology. From Natasha Demkina's 'X-ray eyes' to a woman plagued by mysterious wires, we're not just recounting these wonders – we’re diving headfirst into the implications of such anomalies on our understanding of medicine and what it means to be human.

As we wrap up this episode, it's not just about the awe that these superhumans inspire; it's about the ripples they create in the ponds of science and public imagination. From Natasha Demkina's diagnostic prowess to Malaysia's 'Magneto Man,' who uses his magnetic charm for a good cause, we celebrate the bizarre and the inexplicable. So, grab your pup for a sleepover, cozy up, and prepare to be astounded by the tales of people who stretch the boundaries of possibility. Share your thoughts and your furry friend's photos because, in the midst of the extraordinary, life's joyful moments shine the brightest.

Ever wondered what lurks in the shadow of St. Nicholas's benevolence, waiting to snatch those who've landed on the naughty list? This episode unwraps the chilling legend of Krampus, the horned figure from Alpine folklore, who dishes out a very different kind of holiday spirit. We take you on a festive yet spine-tingling journey through the snowy Alpine regions where this demonic creature emerges on Krampus Night, just before St. Nick's own rounds. Picture a being so fearsome, it makes a lump of coal seem like a gift from a Secret Santa. We're pulling the sleigh over to discuss the balance between reward and retribution during the yuletide season, as we share tales of birch branches and abductions to a dark lair – a stark reminder to always be good for goodness' sake.

Join us as we parade through the cultural festivities that bring this mythical beast to life in spectacular fashion. The clatter of hooves and the rustle of fur suits fill the air as we explore how Krampus parades and festivals have spread their eerie joy from Europe to American shores. We contrast this fearsome fiend with more benevolent creatures like the Perchton and consider the rising popularity of Krampus in contemporary media. From silver screens to console games, the fascination with this shadowy holiday figure continues to grow. So, fill your mug with hot cocoa, and revel with us in the darker, yet intriguing Christmas traditions that have both haunted and delighted generations.

Prepare for a chilling journey as we navigate the dark and twisted narrative of Jim Jones and the People's Temple. Brace yourselves as we journey from sunny California to San Francisco, tracing the terrifying transformation of a community that once promised change and equality. However, as we peel back the layers, the grim reality of life under the iron fist of Jones unfolds. We expose the insidious fear and manipulation that defined his rule, the oppressive practices within the temple, and the horrific consequences of defiance. A warning to our listeners, this part details the distressing deaths of hundreds of individuals, including children; proceed with caution.

Our exploration into the People's Temple reveals a disturbing reality of exploitation, manipulation, and abuse. Jones, in his relentless thirst for power, used his followers as pawns to amass political influence. The lure of a better life attracted many unsuspecting victims, but the reality they stumbled upon defied their wildest nightmares. Hear firsthand accounts of public beatings, family separations, and physical and mental abuse that reveals the horrifying extent of Jones' control.

Lastly, we examine the ghastly details of Jonestown, the notorious settlement in Guyana. Witness how Jones ramped up his fear-inducing tactics to unimaginable heights, feeding his followers fabricated news of outside threats, and conducting fake suicide drills. The desperate escape attempts of some members lead us to the fateful day of November 14, 1978. Hear the chilling sound of Jones coaxing his followers to "die with dignity", a haunting echo that marked the tragic end of the People's Temple. Our retelling of the Jonestown massacre paints a terrifying picture of blind devotion and a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power.
