All Episodes

In this episode, “Poisonous Snake Rentals,” I cover some truly jaw-dropping stories that are equal parts hilarious, horrifying, and just plain weird!

We kick things off with the unbelievable case of a man in India who literally rented a poisonous cobra to murder his wife so he could run off with her jewelry and a new bride. It took a year-long investigation, snake bite reenactments, and forensic experts to finally convict him. Talk about deadly commitment. From there, I dive into one woman’s desperate race to the finish line—while pooping herself mid-marathon—and she still managed to hit a personal record. If that doesn’t scream dedication to running, I don’t know what does.

We’ve got a guy in Brazil who jumped into a piranha-infested lake to escape a bee attack… only to become fish food. In Germany, a man claiming to be a medical professional was actually performing illegal castrations on his kitchen table. And in India again, a 15-year-old tried turning himself into Wolverine by injecting mercury into his arms. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Meanwhile, in Egypt, a prisoner had a full working cell phone in his stomach for six months. That one rings all kinds of alarms.

Weird food lovers, you’ll enjoy my rundown of the top 10 strangest international fast food items, including Nutella burgers, Tabasco sundaes, and all-black squid ink burgers. Trust me—this will make your next McDonald’s run seem downright boring. I also cover a teacher who got fired after a student pulled marijuana edibles from a classroom reward box, a father who shot his son over guitar noise, and another guy who fired shots over the wrong kind of chicken wings. Yes, really.

And just when you think it can’t get dumber, a Florida man was caught after a car burglary spree—all thanks to pizza sauce and an abandoned pizza box. You can’t make this stuff up.
