What the Hell? - ChatGPT Cheating Scandals & Teletubby Break-Ins: The Weirdest Crimes Yet!

Author: Shannon & Cathy | Terror Talk July 10, 2025 Duration: 27:08

Welcome to another What the Hell? edition of Terror Talk Podcast, where things get weird, wacky, and totally unhinged.

In this episode, Shannon and Cathy dive into some of the most ridiculous and jaw-dropping true crime headlines we’ve seen all year. From a Greek woman who trusted ChatGPT to predict infidelity through coffee grounds, to a man in a Teletubby costume breaking into his friend’s house, this one is packed with wild ride energy.

Other stories include:

  • A child who ordered 70,000 Dum Dums (yes, really)

  • A woman stealing $11,000 worth of chicken wings

  • A woodpecker terrorizing Massachusetts (we’re serious)

  • A man in a cow suit robbing Walmart

  • And a disturbing true crime story out of Russia involving dead children dressed as dolls

If your brain hurts by the end, don’t worry—it’s What the Hell? after all.

We keep it light, fun, and completely unpredictable—because sometimes reality is stranger than horror fiction.

All music for this episode is provided by Mannequin Uprising.
