400 - Molly and Michael Jackson: Rolling on the King of Pop!
Michael Jackson is the most successful solo act in the history of recorded music. He was arguably the most famous man in the history of the world at his career's peak. But also.... a very troubled, beyond eccentric person who was creepy with kids, at best, or... a pedophile. I try and explore his life today... while fighting against the effects of a double-dose of Molly... for Timesuck's 400th episode. Hail Nimrod and thanks for sticking around!!

399 - Osage Murders: The True Story Behind Killers of the Flower Moon
The Osage Reign of Terror - dramatized recently in the 2023 award winning Martin Scorsese film, Killers of the Flower Moon based on the 2017 book of the same name - has been described as an epidemic of murders and mysterious deaths among the people of the Osage Nation. This is a wild story of a preposterous amount of corruption, conspiracy, and cold-blooded killing.

Short Suck #8 - Horror in the Woods: The Keddie Cabin Murders
On Saturday night, April 11th, 1981, a young mother, her teenage son, and her son's teenage friend, were all violently murdered in the small, picturesque community of Keddie, California. One of her daughters was also kidnapped, and also murdered. No one was ever charged. Did local authorities help coverup the most gruesome killings in the history of Plumas County?

398 - August Engelhardt and the Coconut Cult
Did you know that in 1902, August Engelhardt travelled from Germany to a small island in the South Pacific and tried to build a community based mostly in worship of the sun, being naked all the time, and literally only eating coconuts? He tried for seventeen years. Oh yeah. This is a weird one.

397 - Jim Bakker: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of an American Grifter
Jim Bakker, and his wife, Tammy Faye, revolutionized tele-evangelism in the 1970s and 1980s. Their PTL Club, was, at it's height, pulling in millions a WEEK in donations to support their cause. But their cause was a lie. Jim was not who he claimed to be, and financial and sexual improprieties would send him to prison... before he got out and started running his scam all over again.

Short Suck #7 - Survive the Apocalypse in Style: The World of Luxury Doomsday Bunkers
Do you have a plan in mind for what you would do in a doomsday event like nuclear war, alien invasion, a deadly plague, Terminator Skynet style "robots have turned against humanity" scenario, etc.? Some people do. Some very rich people. And it's insane what they're building in case everything goes off the rails.

Hail Nimrod!
The perfect blend of history, true crime, and comedy.
What is this podcast? Is it a history podcast? No. Is it a comedy podcast? Also no. Is it a true crime podcast? Well, yes but actually no. It’s a podcast about various different topics ranging from serial killers such as Ted Bundy all the way to Secret Societies and even time travel. It’s chalk full of inside jokes, reoccurring characters, fake and satirical sponsors, and the rambling antics of a host who has the craziest eyes of any person I’ve ever met. You will laugh, you will cry, you will be left in disbelief, and you will fall for a more than a few fake sponsors and “alternative facts” in this wild shock and awe roller coaster ride of a podcast. This podcast is a modern day cult where instead of having to sleep with the head honcho, you just have to tune in once a week and listen to his take on weird topics. But be warned, you will get sucked in and Timesuck will take over your like where every Monday you will sit and wait for the newest episode to unlock with the same anticipation that a 8 year old has on Christmas Eve. So come on in to the cult of the curious. It’s a fun, close, and unbelievably supportive community where you only have the learn the intricate backgrounds of about a dozen characters (real and fictitious) to get every inside joke of this not really comedy podcast but rather a podcast done by a comedian known as, Timesuck. Perfect. Wouldn’t change a thing. 3/5 Stars.
Love it!
Love it! Wouldn’t change a thing. 3 out of 5 stars.
