Yikes! Murder and Stuff! A True Crime Podcast

It was supposed to be two parts! It was supposed to be released 2 weeks ago! But this is the end! Listen in for confirmation that if you do a half-assed job, don't care about your subordinates, place loyalty ahead of experience, even the worse outcome isn't that bad if you're in a *certain* class of people.  

Is the ship going to run aground?? Yes. Will the Captain go down with the ship?? Hell, no. Behold the power of ego, ineptitude and apathy towards one's fellow man! Listen in bewilderment of how people can turn into cannibals after mere hours on the open sea! This is part two of three of the Shipwreck of the French Frigate Medusa!

What happens when you put an entitled idiot in charge of a relatively simple naval task and he, in turn, puts an even more entitled idiot in charge so he can get where he's going as fast as possible because another idiot tells him to ignore all instructions? What could possibly go wrong with a ship of fools who are short on lifeboats off the coast of the Sahara? Murder and stuff on the high seas, mate!  

The magic of daytime TV has given society the "Cash me ousside" girl, a look into the mind of Tom Cruise and a fist fight between Geraldo and Nazis. But they've also been the catalyst to some very gruesome crimes. Listen in and learn about three murders and stay tuned for another Killer Karaoke by Acadia! This one's a good one, so don't miss it!

MURDER BALLADS ARE A THING and they are horrifying, hilarious and sometimes, quite touching. Listen to Acadia Einstein, Jennifer Sandwich and Mells Bells (research by Gee Gee Caffeine) terribly sing all their favorite songs about murder death kills. And be sure to stay till the end for a special Killer Karaoke!

We have a special guest today! Mells Bells returns to talk to us about guillotines! Just some very normal chat about the most efficient beheading machine ever made and some very serious puns. Sorry for the delay and thanks again for listening!

Five members of a family in rural Turkey walk on all fours. Are they humans devolving? Are they a missing link? Do they lack a gene that is responsible for modern humans to walk on two legs? Or is it something else? Yep. It's something else. Listen to this short episode and find out!

70s, 80s, 90s movies told us that we would all certainly die of quicksand and it would kill our beloved horses, too. But what even is it? Is it as prevalent as movies from our childhood said it was? Will it kill you? Yes. It probably will. But not if you do some pole work.

A Hollywood star, a King, the CIA, youth serums, dwarfism, squalor, ninjas, mad cow disease, murder; this story's got it all!

England has a dead pool. We want in on it. Sweatshirt, Acadia and Sandwich talk about current deathlist favorites, 80s sitcoms, which version of The Office is better, sexy dudes and how to make the dead pool more challenging by adding in younger participants for no particular reason. We hate on Kissinger, Betty White and Taylor Swift and Acadia teases at a Bruce Springsteen vs. Billy Joel Manifesto that may or may not ever be written. You can't possibly understand how far off the rails this one gets unless you listen in!

We lost 2 weeks to the flu, had ridiculous weather, lost our voices, encountered technical problems that destroyed this week's episode, SO Mells called in wanting to do a Ted Talk. No, not *that* Ted Talk, a Ted BUNDY talk. With all the Bundy Bunches out there, we thought we'd take this opportunity to get together for a rando chitty chat about The Ted Bundy Tapes documentary, the new Ted Bundy movie and even threw some "You" (Netflix/Lifetime series) comparisons in there. WE HAVE SPOILERS if you haven't seen it! It's just Sandwich and Mells because it's been -55 here in Minneapolis and Sweatshirt couldn't make it. :(  Come hang out with the Bundy Bunch, say hi to sweet Mells and let us Talk Ted to ya while you wait for our regularly scheduled episode with Sweatshirt, Sandwich and Acadia!

Iceland is known for it's majestic cliffs, lush landscapes and rugged shorelines. It is not known for its crime rate. But in 2017, Iceland broke their record for murders: 4 for the entire counter, for the entire year. We are going to tell you about the first murder of 2017, about the senselessness of it and how it changed the sense of safety the small population of Iceland had once enjoyed.

What if your brain and your body didn't jive? What if the only cure for your disorder was amputation? What if you had to do it yourself?

Here's some dumb-ass karaoke from Jennifer Sandwich singing about the Glensheen 3-parter! SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't listened to the Glensheen episodes, this lil ditty will spoil it all. If you're cool with that, give it a listen. Apologies ahead of time. I didn't do it on the dumpster keyboard this time. I feel lazy. - Jen
