Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 88: The history of St. Patrick is now available. Forget leprechauns and pots of gold, this story is a wild ride of questionable life choices. Tonight we're unpacking the 'true' story, of our favorite drinking saint which includes: a possible kidnapping, nipple sucking to hitch a ride, divine voices and hallucinations, a basement with a demon who apparently makes you a bitch watering down your favorite Guinness and a sheep-to-blanket conversion rate. So, was St. Patrick really the snake wrangler we all adore or perhaps just Ireland's OG Influencer with a sprinkle of tall tales. Prepare for a history lesson that's less "holy icon" and more "holy moly, that's weird!" Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast episode 83: The Grinning Man is now available. In the 1960s, UFO sightings were everywhere, but one encounter really took the cake: Indrid Cold-the Grinning Man. This wasn’t your average flying saucer situation—oh, no. This guy came with a huge grin, telepathic mind-melds, and a backstory so bizarre it could’ve come straight out of a sci-fi novel (or a fever dream). When West Virginia salesman Woodrow Derenberger crossed paths with Indrid, his life was never the same. But was he actually talking to an alien from a peaceful planet, or just a dude who loved attention and bad acid trips? (It was the 60's after all!) Join us as we dive into the wildest details of the Indrid Cold story, its unexpected ties to the Mothman, and the ultimate question: Was this all just one big grin-filled hoax, or is there a sliver of truth to the grinning nightmare of West Virginia? Buckle up—this one’s about to get wild and stupid. Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 81:The most dangerous woman in America: Typhoid Mary In this episode, we serve up the hot (and germy) tale of Mary Mallon, aka "Typhoid Mary," the cook who put the fever in flavor. Mary didn’t just whip up mouthwatering meals—she also unknowingly spread typhoid fever to dozens of unsuspecting diners. Who knew her secret ingredient wasn’t love but bacteria? We’ll explore how Mary became America’s first known asymptomatic carrier of typhoid, her refusal to believe she was the problem (spoiler: she absolutely was), and the government’s decision to quarantine her—twice! Was she a misunderstood victim, a stubborn rebel, or just the world’s unluckiest cook? Along the way, we’ll learn about the science of typhoid, why public health officials were losing their minds, and what Mary’s story teaches us about personal responsibility (hint: wash your hands, people). Tune in for laughs, germs, and a story so wild you’ll never look at your kitchen the same way again. Stay Strange…

Ever wonder what happens when someone takes DIY to the next level? Well, Gein did, and let’s just say Pinterest wouldn’t approve. We explore his small-town roots, his overbearing mother, and his “unique” approach to home decor—like lampshades that scream “conversation piece.” Literally. We’ll chat about the mystery of how someone becomes a graveyard ghoul, and maybe answer the age-old question: Is it cheaper to make your own furniture or buy it from IKEA? Spoiler: it’s neither when law enforcement gets involved. Join us as we balance morbid curiosity with inappropriate laughter, and try to figure out what it is about Wisconsin that inspires cheese and skin suits. Warning: this episode contains dark humor, questionable mental health diagnoses, and a whole lot of "Wait, he did what?!" Remember, if you’re laughing, you’re coping! Tune in and stay spooky!…

Send us a text Episode 78: Lizzie Borden murders Now available Get ready for a killer episode as we swing into the infamous Lizzie Borden case, where axes, alibis, and awkward family dynamics collide. It’s 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts where a rich but miserably frugal dad, a "I guess we'll make this work" stepmom, older and cooler sis, Emma and of course our star of the show, Lizzie end up in a bit of a sticky situation. Suddenly, wham! Both parents are found brutally axed in their own home. The weapon? An axe. The suspect? Lizzie. The motive? Who knows—maybe she was sick of eating mutton stew for breakfast. We’ll talk about the evidence—or lack thereof—like Lizzie’s weirdly timed wardrobe bonfire and the fact that nobody seemed too sad about the deaths. Was Lizzie an axe-wielding heiress in disguise, or just a misunderstood Victorian spinster stuck in a home living under their means? Join us as we laugh through Lizzie’s truly terrible alibi (spoiler: she said she was “in the barn eating pears”), the bizarre evidence (did she really try to burn a dress right after the murders?), and a trial that was basically 1890s reality TV. Plus, we’ll break down some wild theories— Was she framed? Did the maid have enough of the family drama? Or was it… a forgotten smelly brother? Tune in for murder, mayhem, and more puns than you can handle. Because in Fall River, the tea—and the blood—was piping hot. Stay Strange…

Did Clarence mastermind an elaborate scheme to escape financial woes, or was he just really bad at not being found? And whose crispy corpse was in that first fire, anyway? Grab your detective hats as we follow the trail of ashes and outrageous theories in what might be America’s most flammable mystery. It might be unsolved but, one thing’s for sure: Clarence Roberts’ story is lit. (Too soon?) Stay Strange…

Send us a text Being Dead Serious podcast Episode 76: The Man-Eaters of Tsavo Is now available. The "Man-Eaters of Tsavo" tells the wild, slightly horrifying story of two lions who decided they'd had it with their regular antelope diet and thought, "Why not sample the new buffet humans are setting up?" This all went down in 1898 in Kenya, where British engineers and local laborers were building a railway through Tsavo. Little did they know, they were about to become the ultimate “tasting menu” for these two ambitious big cats. The episode recounts Lieutenant Colonel John Henry Patterson's unlucky gig as the guy hired to keep the lions away. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well. Between sleep-deprived nights spent trying to protect his workers and the rising body count, Patterson was left to face two lions with some serious snacking ambitions. Picture him setting up elaborate traps and spending nights in trees, likely muttering something British under his breath about "absolute nuisance" while dodging lion paws. The episode explores theories on why these lions decided to become Tsavo's very own fast-food critics, from "maybe they had bad teeth" to "they just really hated British food." With tongue-in-cheek commentary and eyebrow-raising facts, this episode turns one of the deadliest wildlife tales about two lions who saw an all-you-can-eat opportunity and a Colonel who probably wished he’d taken a safer job. Stay Stange…
