Cheryl's mid-air and producer Alex is away, but Nikki is joined by a very special guest (and I think our spookiest one yet), Jed Shepherd — an actual horror movie maker. Jed's film 'Host' is scientifically proven as the scariest horror film EVER. Together we're deep diving into our rabbit holes of the week: can we manifest ghosts? Jed takes us back to the playground ghost hunts he used to run in primary school and it turns out… he started to get haunted by his own ghost and if you lived in south London, maybe you were too? Plus, we uncover if some prop bodies may actually be real life HUMAN CORPSES?! And we discover the origins of the Sourtoe Cocktail — the drink garnished with a human toe. Would you be brave enough to take a sip? Find out What Nikki and Jed think!Find Jed here: https://www.instagram.com/jedshepherdGot a theory? Been lost in a rabbit hole? We want to hear from YOU!

In the 1920s, the rum-running Linken brothers - Louie and Otto - got caught in a blizzard. One of them lost a toe which ended up being preserved in a jar. In 1973, legend has it that Captain Dick Stevenson found the jar and came up with the idea of the Sourtoe Cocktail Club - an exclusive club, with one membership requirement.“You can drink it fast. You can drink it slow. But your lips must touch that gnarly toe.” All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

It's an extra car-crazy episode as Colin, an AE86-owner and Hoopties card game creator, joins Ryan, Matthew, and Matthew's son Grayson in studio for what essentially becomes a more profane version of NPR's Car Talk. The three-and-a-half men discuss what it takes to create automotive-themed novelty products, the joys of AE86 ownership, the fun of Facebook Marketplace, car audio shenanigans, Volkswagens, LeMans, the consumption of sourtoe cocktails, Cheez-Its, Barbecue, and plenty of other questionable topics.

"You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but the lips have got to touch the toe." So goes the prime directive of the Exalted Order of the Sourtoe, a cocktail club dreamed up in the 1970s to celebrate Discovery Day in Dawson City. Essentially a shot of liquor garnished with a preserved, severed human toe, the Sourtoe Cocktail is one of Canada's most legendary (and disturbing) traditions that has been served to over 100,000 curious drinkers in a Dawson City bar. This is its story.For show notes and more, visit FiresideCanada.ca

There are a lot of theories out there about what lies beneath the surface of our planet, but one of the most popular is the Hollow Earth theory. This theory suggests that the Earth is actually hollow, and that there is a world inside of it that is populated by strange creatures. Some people believe that this inner world is actually the Garden of Eden, and that it is where humanity originated. Others believe that it is a parallel universe, or even the home of aliens. There is no scientific evidence to support any of these claims, but that hasn't stopped people from believing in them. And in more disgusting news, this is the story of the Sourtoe Cocktail, a drink served in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. The cocktail is made with a human toe, and the drinker must allow the toe to touch their lips in order to finish the drink. The toe is preserved in salt, and the cocktail is served with a shot of whiskey. ### - https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/hollow-earth-theory - https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/sourtoe-cocktail

Vor 120 Jahren erlebte die nordwestliche Bergregion einen legendären Goldrausch. Noch heute in Alaskas Region danach gesucht. Eine Sendung von Peter Kaiser Vor rund 120 Jahren erlebte die nordwestliche Bergregion in Kanada hin zur Grenze zu Alaska einen bis heute legendären Goldrausch. Bis heute wurden im "Klondike-Goldrush" über 570 Tonnen Gold aus dem Nebenfluss des Yukon-River gewaschen. Und noch heute wird am Klondike nach dem begehrten Edelmetall gesucht. Werden die "Miner", die Goldgräber, fündig, verspielten sie ihren Fund wie vor 120 Jahren noch heute im ältesten Saloon Kanadas in Dawson City. Dazu spielen die Damen der "Diamond Tooth Gerties"-Tanztruppe auf zu Jaques Offenbachs Cancan-Musik, oder man trinkt den "Sourtoe-Cocktail", einen in Whiskey eingelegten menschlichen Zeh. Ganz so wie Jack London, der hier ebenso einmal nach Gold suchte.

Terror attack at Michigan airport: Tunisian knifeman with a 'hatred of the United States' wounds cop by repeatedly stabbing Terry Lee is toe-tally angry. "I've got to watch my temper," Lee said Tuesday as he explained the recent theft of a dehydrated human toe from the Downtown Hotel Sourdough Saloon in Dawson City, a town in the Yukon roughly 65 miles east of the Alaska-Canada border. Lee works at the hotel bar as the "toe master." He said he takes care of the bar's donated human toes by day, preserving them in rock salt, and by evening, he plops a digit into the bar's signature Sourtoe Cocktail, serving up the drink to paying customers. But over the weekend, one of the bar's donated cocktail toes disappeared. It was a second toe — the one next to the big toe — to be exact, Lee said in an interview Tuesday. Lee said a man walked into the bar Saturday night and sometime after midnight ordered a signature Sourtoe Cocktail — a shot of alcohol garnished with a human toe. When the bartender turned her back, the man walked out of the bar with the toe, according to Lee.

What are our best travel memories with romantic partners? Sexiest? Most frustrating? What part does travel play in our hopeful romantic futures? And what do our desires – highbrow, lowbrow, and everything in between – say about who we are and how we love? On today's show, Ella Morton – co-author of ATLAS OBSCURA: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders – joins to discuss some of her book's most mysterious and romantic offerings. What weird and fascinating food and love destinations are out there for us? And what has traversing the globe seeking out weird wonders done for her love life? And before we even get to that, how do we start on the road to romance if no otherworldly sparks are igniting? As J gets back into the dating world, marching boldly forward even if her health hasn't fully returned, can she date a guy (or, this week, um, three), when her body doesn't have the physical energy to make magic happen? For the healthiest among us, how to we finagle romance from slowly-burning embers? Tune in, as we light 'em up.

  Over the years, Ron Franscell's books have earned high praise from bestselling authors such as Ann Rule and Vincent Bugliosi. He is the bestselling author of The Darkest Night. His writing has often been compared to Truman Capote. Ron grew up in Wyoming. A lifelong journalist, he worked for newspapers in Wyoming, New Mexico and California's Bay Area before hitting the road in one of American journalism's best beats, covering the evolution of the American West as a senior writer for the Denver Post. Shortly after 9/11, he was dispatched by the Post to cover the Middle East during the first few months of the Afghan war. In 2004, he became the managing editor for the Beaumont (TX) Enterprise, where he covered the devastation of Hurricane Rita.  After Ron's divorce, he feared he was the link in a long chain of estranged fathers. But when the author and his teenage son embark on a road trip to the Yukon to seek out a macabre cocktail containing an amputated human toe, they unwittingly begin a journey into their own past, present and future. The Sourtoe CocktailClub is a true-life love story about fathers and sons, set against epic backdrops and overlooked places. It is also a road book that attempts to answer, for one father and son, a pivotal life question: Where does the road go? THE SOURTOE COCKTAIL CLUB-Ron Franscell
