"Police found Kevin, Mr. Bacon, hanging naked from the rafters by his ankles in Lytonsky's home. Police said Lytonsky confessed to killing Bacon by stabbing him in the back and then slicing his throat and then told police he had cut off Bacon's testicles with the knife before eating them." — Ben Kissel
"There's no place to escape to, this is the last podcast on the left. Side stories? I love your glades. That's one of the cannibalism started. Side stories." — Henry Zebrowski
"It's almost like they didn't do anything about it. They don't really, it's like a whole institutionalized silence that comes from the very top. It's almost like it's an inherently corrupt organization, like the entire Catholic Church." — Ben Kissel
The episode opens with the hosts delving into a particularly grim true crime story involving a man accused of cannibalism after allegedly killing his Grindr date, Kevin Bacon. The graphic details of the crime, including the mutilation and consumption of body parts, are discussed with a mix of morbid fascination and shock. This segment highlights the podcast's focus on disturbing criminal acts and the psychological profiles of perpetrators.
Transitioning from extreme crime, the conversation shifts to the mystery of drone swarms over Colorado. The hosts explore the lack of clear explanations from authorities and speculate on potential government or private sector involvement, referencing theories related to military exercises or lost weaponry. This segment showcases the podcast's interest in unexplained phenomena and its tendency to theorize about conspiracy or covert operations.
The latter part of the episode addresses significant societal issues. The hosts discuss allegations of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, questioning the institution's response and the motivations behind its actions. They also dedicate a substantial portion to the Australian bushfires, commending individuals like Celeste Barber and Kaylyn Ward for their fundraising efforts and urging listeners to contribute. This demonstrates a broader engagement with current events and a desire to leverage their platform for charitable causes, even while maintaining their characteristic dark humor.
