The last Monday of September? How did we get here? This one hit home for me in so many ways. I really loved spending this time getting to know Anthony Bourdain. Lynze and I watched "Tony" after dropping Monroe off at college, making this even more poignant. Anyways. Happy Monday, Meatsacks.
Anthony Bourdain went from a heroin-addicted line cook bouncing between chaotic New York kitchens to a bestselling author and beloved world traveler who changed the way millions of people thought about food, culture, and the people who connect the two. Today, we explore the wild, restless life of a man who seemed hungry for everything—adventure, knowledge, danger, love, connection, and whatever might be waiting around the next corner—and the complicated final years that ended with his shocking death.

Happy Friday, Meatsacks! You made it. Treat yourself with a Short Suck. Long before forensic science could expose a killer, poison was one of ancient Rome’s deadliest—and hardest to detect—weapons, and few were said to wield it better than the mysterious Locusta of Gaul. Was this infamous poisoner truly the world’s first documented serial killer, or was she something else entirely: an assassin, weapons maker, and deadly tool of some of Rome’s most ruthless rulers?

Another Monday, Meatsacks. Another conspiracy! When a massive financial scandal erupted in Omaha in the late 1980s, allegations soon followed that politically connected power players were involved in something far darker: an interstate child sex-trafficking ring filled with ritual abuse, blackmail, and murder. Were the most horrifying claims surrounding the Franklin scandal products of Satanic Panic—or did investigators stumble onto a very real conspiracy that powerful people desperately wanted buried?

MEATSACKS!! It's Monday. You know what to do.

In late 1960s Glasgow, three women went out dancing at the legendary Barrowland Ballroom.... and never made it home alive. Their murders were linked to a mysterious stranger who became known as Bible John. Decades later, his identity remains one of Scotland’s most haunting unsolved mysteries, surrounded by disputed suspects, questionable police work, and allegations that the truth may have been buried on purpose...

Do you remember Mark Kay? Have you ever seen one of the pink Cadillacs driving around? Ever wonder how that business came to be? Well this week, Timesuck dives in. Mary Kay Ash turned a $5,000 investment into a cosmetics empire that promised generations of women financial independence, recognition, and—if they climbed high enough—that famous pink Cadillac. But.... behind the makeup parties and “girl power” sales pitch, DID Mary Kay create a revolutionary path to female empowerment? Or did she prey on her own sales force and help perfect the highly manipulative and exploitative multi-level marketing machine that would leave countless aspiring entrepreneurs buried in unsold inventory and broken promises?

Enjoy this strange and fun Short Suck!
Today we journey deep into the swamps of Florida to investigate the legend of the Skunk Ape, Bigfoot’s smaller, stinkier, swamp-dwelling cousin. From centuries-old sightings and bizarre eyewitness encounters to cryptid hunter Dave Shealy’s controversial "evidence," we’ll dig into the history, folklore, and possible explanations behind one of America’s strangest regional monsters. Is something really hairy and stinky (but not human) hiding in the Everglades?

It's Monday, Meatsacks!!! Hope you kick off your week right here. Long before Catch Me If You Can made Frank Abagnale famous, another master con man was crisscrossing the globe under countless stolen identities and leaving a trail of bodies behind him. Charles Sobhraj, “The Serpent,” was a charismatic thief, fraudster, prison escape artist, and serial killer who preyed on travelers across Asia while repeatedly slipping through the fingers of law enforcement. His story is so crazy it feels less like real life, and more like a movie.
