Beneath the Arctic ice, far below where sunlight can reach, there’s a Russian submarine so secretive that the world has been trying to figure out what it does. 

In this episode, we dive into the mystery of the Losharik submarine—a deep-sea vessel capable of descending miles below the ocean’s surface, tapping undersea cables, mapping the seafloor, and possibly preparing the battlefield for future conflicts no one would ever see coming. 

We explore what the Losharik was built to do, what it’s believed to have been spying on beneath the oceans, and why its missions have made Western intelligence agencies deeply uneasy. We’ll also unpack the 2019 fire that briefly exposed the submarine to the world—and raised even more questions about what Russia is really doing on the ocean floor.

This week, the headlines get interesting.

We dive into a string of real-world mysteries that sound too strange to be true—yet somehow are. From a man who literally ate an art exhibit and an update on the disappearance of MH370.

We also examine reports of a possible sonic weapon, allegedly used in Venezuela—what it is, how it works, and whether it’s science fiction or whether it's a huge advancement in military technology. And finally, we travel back in time to look at how the wooly Rhino went extinct... even if Riley isn't interested.

Step into Victorian London as we take a look at one of history’s most talked-about mysteries: Jack the Ripper. In this episode, we explore what life was like in Whitechapel in 1888 and how a series of shocking crimes captured the attention of an entire city—and eventually the world.

Join us as we focus on the facts of the case, the people involved, and the questions that still linger. Who were the victims? What did investigators actually know at the time? And how did newspapers and public speculation shape the legend we recognize today?

We work through theories that have emerged over the years and why this unsolved case continues to fascinate historians, writers, and mystery fans alike.

In the early hours of February 25, 1942, Los Angeles erupted in gunfire. Searchlights crisscrossed the sky, anti-aircraft batteries thundered, and a city watched in terror as the city braced for an invasion that—officially—never came.

In this episode, we unravel the mystery of The Battle of Los Angeles: a forgotten World War II incident where the U.S. military fired over a thousand rounds into the night sky, civilians were killed, and the government’s explanations never quite added up. Was it a false alarm fueled by wartime panic? A weather balloon gone wrong? Secret military testing? Or something far stranger?

We dig into declassified documents, newspaper headlines, differing accounts, and the contradictions that fill the story. 

What was really over Los Angeles that night?

What if one of America’s most unlikely allies helped win World War II… from the shadows?

In this episode, we dive into the strange-but-true story of the U.S. government teaming up with the American Mafia during WWII. From protecting New York’s docks against sabotage to leveraging mob connections in Sicily ahead of the Allied invasion, we explore how notorious crime bosses like Lucky Luciano became part of a secret wartime strategy.

Was this underworld alliance a decisive factor in the Allied victory—or just a convenient myth born from wartime desperation? And what were the long-term consequences of making deals with organized crime?

Join us as we unpack the facts, the theories, and the lingering mysteries behind one of the most unexpected partnerships in American history. 🕵️‍♂️

On Christmas Eve, 1914, something extraordinary happened. Along the frozen trenches of the Western Front, enemies laid down their weapons, sang carols across no man’s land, exchanged gifts, and—according to some accounts—even played a game of soccer.

In this episode, we explore the mystery of the WWI Christmas Truce: How did a spontaneous ceasefire break out without orders? How widespread was it really? And why did it terrify military leaders on both sides? Through letters from soldiers and firsthand accounts we examine a moment when shared humanity briefly interrupted the machinery of war—and why it never happened again.

Then, Riley gathers everyone around the fireplace for a Christmas Classic: The Wolf Truce 🎄

For over two centuries, a small island off the coast of Nova Scotia has drawn treasure hunters, engineers, and conspiracy theorists into one of history’s most enduring puzzles.

In this episode, we dive into The Mystery of Oak Island—from the discovery of the infamous Money Pit in 1795 to the elaborate tunnels, flood traps, and strange artifacts that have kept searchers coming back generation after generation. Was it pirate treasure? A secret Templar cache? Geologic ?

We unpack the real history, the wild theories, the modern excavations, and why Oak Island continues to captivate the world—despite costing millions, claiming lives, and never quite giving up its secrets.

Today's episode is mysteries in the headlines. We grab headlines from around the world and get each other's reactions. 

First, we get an update on MH370. The search continues and a brand new search area is being scanned by a group called Ocean Infinity. Is there new evidence that is bringing this exploration on? 

Second, we visit prehistoric times and Riley steps into the marshlands. We play audio of what researchers think a T-Rex actually sounded like. (Shout out to the Youtube Channel: Dinosaur Discovery for the video/audio source)

Finally, Riley brings the lounge to Germany where QR codes have been oddly showing up in cemeteries.

🎨 This week, we’re stepping into the halls of the world’s most famous museum—but not for the art. In one of the boldest crimes of the decade, a group of four people pulled off a heist inside the Louvre, slipping past security and vanishing with priceless artifacts totaling an estimated $102 Million. How did they pull it off? What did they take? 

Join us as we break down the timeline of the heist, uncover the clues left behind, and explore how a heist could be pulled off, during daylight, at the most visited museum in the world. 

Also, hear how Riley would have reacted if he was there on the day of the heist.
