We got another double header! This time its a coupl'a cannibals!
*Incase you didn't catch the word "Cannibals" being used over and over again...this one is explicit, to say the least. :)
For our appetizer, we head back to July 2008, when Vince Li gruesomely murdered a fellow Canadian bus passenger named Tim McLean. Li didn’t stop at murder, he stabbed, beheaded, and even ate parts of McLean’s body. The police eventually arrested him after an hours-long standoff. But WHYYYY!!!???? Who was Vince Li? Why did he kill Tim McLean? And why did he eat him!?
Then for the main course, we talk one of the most infamous cannibals to date, Issei Sagawa. A Japanese man claiming to have always had a fascination with human flesh. At the age of 35 he finally acts on it, killing a dutch woman that he had befriended, just so could eat her! Oh and he never did any jail time. He lived a long life and died of old age. It was a paperwork error or something...you know how these things go... 0_0

This week we got a double feature! We kick things off with the death of 18-year-old, Anna Kepner. She was found wrapped in a blanket under a bed, surrounded by life jackets, on a cruise ship in November 2025, with very few clues as to what happened to her. Now, her teenage stepbrother has reportedly been arrested and charged….and for damn good reason if you ask us.
Then we move on to another case involving a horrific incident that took place in 2019 on Labor Day in Logan, Ohio. 44-year-old photographer Victoria Schaefer was visiting Hawking Hill State Park to take photos. Schaefer had just finished and began walking back up the staircase to leave when there was an unforgettable cracking sound. Schaefer is in a heap on the staircase, not moving. Lying nearby is a large log that somehow "fell" from the cliff above.

Todd Sees was a Pennsylvania man who mysteriously disappeared in 2002 only to be found dead and emaciated, 39 hrs later. Its a case that gained notoriety due to its strange circumstances, mainly witnesses reporting UFOs, a boot found high in a tree, and no signs of foul play. This ones a head scratcher for the ages, especially if you don't believe in aliens! lol
*Intro song was HEAVILY inspired by Fontaines D.C. - Jackie Down The Line

The Riker's Island Art Heist happened on March 1st 2003, when four prison guards had the brilliant idea to steal an original Salvadore Dali painting, although not his best work, but still, an original Dali, and replace it with an elementary copy. The story of how the painting got there in the first place is almost as good as the heist itself!

Everything seemed fine at first but Jonathan was a time bomb waiting to explode.

This has got to be one of our funniest Headlines to date, we had too much fun making this one! We kick it off with a woman who was hit in the face by a bird at Sea World! Then a man who swallowed a $35,000 egg pendant necklace, yikes, but he's still having a better day then the guy who was found dead in the back seat of his own car, which had been towed TWICE, before anyone noticed. Then we round things out with a fraud scheme that would make Mrs Doubtfire proud.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I had a comp list at Limelight in the 90s. Everyone knew Fred Asher & Michael Alig. Crazy times.
I love you all so much
damn you😄😄😄😍😍 guys are amazing love you from Tehran I laughed so bad with this one about the guy landing real quick 🤣🤣 man you killed me 💚
nice
louie the big pervert
I agree with the MW Diss too. I agree. same with Tom Hardy. Mumbles and plays ton Hardy in every movie he's in.
whoever mixed that is THE master.
I love the music on the openings and your singing👍
Also there's a lot of people these things have happened to. But the only reason you heard of some of the cases is because they were known on social media. Which is sad in its self if you think about it but perhaps just them being on tiktok their story will become a warning or message to others to think before you share info online or think before you act in general.
Tiktok isn't as generous as it use to be with the algorithm but yeah there's people with multiple millions of followers because f the lack of restrictions to the algorithm early on.
Listen, I love this podcast, but please don't ever do a fake NY accent - especially repeatedly, the entire episode; you guys totally suck at it. Love, a New Yorker
I have heard this story a half dozen times and the more I hear it I will go for the multiple personalities
we actually aren't that nice ... thus story is crazy to me because I lived in Medicine Hat when this happened
we actually aren't that nice
I like how in this episode they focused on the victims backstory, wich was great btw
Nice Intro😂😂
I wonder if Susie was trying to separate them because of Laurie's actions and she wanted revenge.
The movie where the bad guy is a nice guy describes the series Cobra Kia well.
Well shit.
well this is kind of sad.....
