WHAT THE HELL: Ridiculous Crimes, Dumb Criminals and Absolute Chaos

WHAT THE HELL: Ridiculous Crimes, Dumb Criminals and Absolute Chaos

Author: Shannon & Cathy | Terror Talk March 25, 2026 Duration: 35:17

Why are people so spectacularly bad at being people?

Shannon and Cathy take a break from profiling serial killers to profile something arguably more baffling — the sheer, staggering stupidity of ordinary human behavior. From dumb criminals to absurd laws still on the books, this episode is pure chaos with a psychological twist.

Because even ridiculous behavior tells you something about the human mind. And some of it is genuinely unhinged.

Until then... Sleep safe. 😴

Hosted by therapists Shannon and Cathy, this podcast brings an unexpected and insightful lens to the things that go bump in the night, both in reality and on the silver screen.
