    Disturbing Interests

    Do your conversations kill the party? Do you find yourself getting "that look" due to your extensive knowledge about turn of the century asylums? Have you ever wondered if there is a market for human skin books? If so then we are the podcast for you! We are pulling the dark things out from the shadows and throwing them into the spot light, to be talked about while we sprinkle in some comedy and cursing. We are not making fun of these topics, rather, we are laughing in the face of the dark out of sheer bullheaded defiance. We make the bold move and look up the stuff that you don't want in your browser history for plausible deniability if no other reason. Because with us, you might be disturbed, but you're not alone.

    Synanon AKA Jet Skis, Not Cults

    Synanon AKA Jet Skis, Not Cults

    In this episode Lynn tells us about her recent kinda run in with Synanon while in Europe, and about the wild California cult that started it all. The phrases, 'tough love', 'today is the first day of the rest of your life', and 'cold turkey', may not have the happy origin that we want them to since they were all popularized by megalomaniac and cult leader Charles Dederich Sr.

    Lucky Koala Farts aka Douglas Snair & Drop Bears

    Lucky Koala Farts aka Douglas Snair & Drop Bears

    In this episode Lynn brings us the story of Douglas Snair, the Luckiest Man in Canada. The ladies have seen some interesting titles assigned to people over the years, and they are mostly deserved, Douglas lives up to this rule! This story shows that The Halifax Explosion seems to be the subject material that keeps on giving. 

    Meanwhile Regina forces us to ask, do you want to play a game? That's right, she is bringing us the first game of Real Animal, Cryptid, or BS as she tells us about Drop Bears. That's right, Australia's most horrifying creature since the Magpie makes for interesting subject matter.

    Do Something: The ladies are recommending reaching out to your local area SPCA, or animal shelter, in honor of the menagerie that season five is turning into.

    Ines de Castro & Owls AKA The Corpse Queen & The Bard

    Ines de Castro & Owls AKA The Corpse Queen & The Bard

    In this new tale Regina brings us a love story of the most gothic kind while Lynn delights us with owls.

    First Reg dives into the story of The Corpse Queen of Portugal, Ines de Castro, and her love Pedro the First, The Cruel. In a gruesome love story for the ages Pedro coins the term "f@ck around and find out" while inspiring art for generations and winning the heart of every little gothling to come for ages after. 

    It looks like the ladies dynamic is back to normal since Regina is back to being the darker side of terrible. We have not seen her so excited about a story since she pitched the tale of Tararre to Lynn...

    Then Lynn brings us home with owls! If you are wondering how owls are disturbing, well just you wait...
    With a plant queen, goddesses, a really specific way to die, and the tale of Lynn the Bard being robbed in her prime it is a wild ride.

    Hippo Ranching & Lizard People aka The Great Fever Dream & The Coldest Blood

    Hippo Ranching & Lizard People aka The Great Fever Dream & The Coldest Blood

    Season 5 is off with a bang as Regina tells us the tail of hippo ranching and what could have been a very big aggressive problem in the south. This story is busting at the seams with kooky characters, bad ideas, and a sense of entitlement that only the early 1900's can bring. It also makes us question what might have been if 'lake cow bacon' had become a core element in the American diet.

    Lynn comes back with the whacky wtf'ery that is lizard people. People really believe in this stuff and take innocent lives because of their delusions. This cast is definitely NOT run by lizard people...

Journey back to those madcap times when pigs were dressed in their greatest finery and sent into court to answer for their wicked ways! Not a single kangaroo to be found, but fun none the less! We also get to hear about that time a dead pope was dug up and tried by the church.
