Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the Menendez parole denials and a rare U.S. screwworm case. California’s board denied Lyle and Erik at their first parole hearings last week. We’ll explain the process and why commissioners said no.  We also cover the confirmed New World screwworm infection in a Maryland traveler returning from El Salvador.  What it is, how it spreads, and what officials say about the risk.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the Grinning Man. We’ll walk through reports of a tall figure with a fixed smile, and keep it separate from Indrid Cold or the Men in Black. We’ll lay out the timeline, the witnesses, and the leading theories: misidentification, hoax, folklore, or something unknown.

Grab a beer and join us as we pick up in December 1980. We start with Mark David Chapman’s second trip to New York, checking into the Y, staking out the Dakota, meeting Jude and Jerry, and getting John Lennon’s autograph. Then the shooting at 10:52 p.m., the rush to Roosevelt Hospital, and the arrest at the gate, with Mark sitting with The Catcher in the Rye, telling officers “I acted alone.”

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover two headlines. First, Domino’s ran a stunt on Loch Ness—submarine pizza delivery, complete with a semi-submersible and lots of cameras. We’ll lay out what they actually did and why it got attention in Scotland. Then we break down the latest in the Slender Man case: a Waukesha judge approving a conditional release plan for Morgan Geyser, including placement in a group home and GPS monitoring—is in limbo.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we start our series on Mark David Chapman. Part 1 tracks Mark from a 1955 birth in Fort Worth through a tense home, rocking tics, and the “Little People” fantasy, into a teen slide—drugs, skipping school, a short runaway to Miami—followed by a 1971 born-again turn. We cover his YMCA work (the kids called him “Nemo”), his relationship with Jessica, Covenant College, cheating on his girlfriend and the guilt that sent him into depression, and a failed suicide attempt in Hawaii—where a passing fisherman woke him up. From there we follow the hospital stay, a steadier stretch, meeting and marrying Gloria Abe, and the jobs that didn’t stick. By 1980, the debt is paid off but the mood swings get worse. Catcher in the Rye moves to the center, the Little People come back, and his anger at John Lennon grows—burned records, “bigger than Jesus,” and calling out “phonies.” We end with October 1980: the gun purchase, the “John Lennon” signature crossed out on his resignation, and flying to New York.

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another Necro Overtime! This time we’re diving into two food stories that no one asked for but everyone’s talking about — the London shop serving up breast milk ice cream, and Heinz’s latest marketing stunt: a ketchup smoothie. We break down the details, the backlash, and whether either one should actually exist.

Grab a beer tonight as we wrap up our series on the Wendigo!

First up: Swift Runner, the six-foot-three Cree trapper who led his wife, six kids, and elderly mother-in-law into the bush for the winter of 1879 and walked out alone. We’re talking starvation nightmares, marrow-boiled bones, and that gallows scene where he sang a Cree death song, cracked a joke about “Swift Runner’s stew,” and kicked the trapdoor himself.

Then we jump over to Sucker Lake for Jack Fiddler, the legendary shaman, fourteen-time Wendigo slayer, and the guy locals begged to “fix” possessed relatives before they went full cannibal. You’ll hear how two mercy killings put him on a collision course with the Mounties, why he ended up cooking rabbit for his captors while still in leg irons, and how he slipped those irons, walked into the spruce, and hanged himself with the same snare line he’d used on suspected Wendigos.

We wrap with the culture clash that followed. Missionaries, headline-hungry reporters, and a jury stuck between Cree tradition and Canadian law, and why modern psychiatry finally kicked “Wendigo psychosis” out of the textbooks.

Grab a beer and join us tonight for another round of Necro Overtime! First, we talk about comedian Matt Rife buying the Warrens’ old Connecticut house—haunted artifacts and the Annabelle doll included—and what that means for the future of the legendary occult collection. 

Then we head to deep space, where Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb is stirring things up again by suggesting the newly discovered interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS could be an alien probe instead of just another hunk of ice. We break down the claims, the skepticism, and why this visitor has scientists arguing all over again.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we trek deep into the frozen North for Part One of our Wendigo series. We’re kicking things off with the roots of the legend—how Algonquian storytellers turned starvation, isolation, and endless winters into a flesh-eating spirit that’s always one hunger pang away.
