Why? He hated women. Why? They had no business in the work place, or anywhere else other than at home, making babies. Good thing no woman degradedherself enough to make a baby with him.

In the mid to late 90s, there was a local heavy metal band in Milan, Italy called Beasts of Satan. They practiced Satanic rituals in addition to playing their music. But when 2 members of the band disappeared without a trace, the father of one of them decided he wouldn’t rest until he knew where he was. 6 years later, a drunk man who was a member of the band was picked up off the streets. This uncovered a whole web of evil tied to the Beasts of Satan, linking them to multiple murders. This case launched Italy’s own Satanic Panic.

Help! History Goon Kevin is STILL holding me hostage! This time, he’s forcing me to listen to a horrible story about a Nazi scumbag that I’d never heard of. Oscar Dirlewanger. This puke valued human life a little bit under the value of a German cockroach, which made him a perfect choice as a general to people like Hitler or Himmler, who he served under. This guy was a monster from the day he was born, and you’ll be asking yourself why this guy isn’t as well known as cockroaches like Himmler and Hitler.

In this brutally satisfying episode of Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer, we dive into the dumbest decisions that brought some of the world’s most dangerous serial killers to justice. These weren’t master criminals brought down by genius detectives—they were their own worst enemies. From Israel Keyes using his victim’s debit card at ATMs on camera, to Arthur Shawcross returning to the scene of the crime for a snack, to Dennis Nilsen casually calling a plumber about human remains in his drain—these guys practically handed themselves over.We’re cracking open a cold one and laughing through the jaw-dropping idiocy of killers who couldn’t help but leave a trail of breadcrumbs straight to prison. Sometimes evil isn't just cruel... it's really, really stupid.https://www.ckcbpodcast.com/https://x.com/CKC_Beerhttps://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/https://www.youtube.com/@CrimesKillersCultsandBeerhttps://bsky.app/profile/ckcbpodcast.bsky.socialhttps://www.facebook.com/CKCBPC
