Carol Costello Presents: The God Hook
In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

This latest record attempt seems like a world record you could do this weekend... You could get a couple of balloons and keep those balloons in the air over 14 minutes using only your head... the official record is "longest duration to keep 2 balloons in the air with the head." You've been training for this one since childhood. 14 minutes and change the current record... good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbkVhFSQFaQ and https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/428220-longest-duration-to-keep-two-balloons-in-the-air-with-the-head 🍅 Okay, this one is PG-13!

Our "Worst Stories of 2024" episode! January... From Study Finds: "Magic mushrooms traced back to asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs" ... - icymi, magic mushrooms are called that because they look like tiny magicians wearing top hats... just kidding. Magic mushrooms are psychoactive and please consult ten physicians, 40 spiritual advisers and 9 lawyers before going any further on this journey. Especially foraging for them, because that can be extremely dangerous if you get it wrong! The article is about how researchers have learned that the dinosaurs didn't have magic mushrooms but around the time the dinos went extinct, magic mushrooms showed up on planet earth... 65 million years ago, the same time that an asteroid hit earth and started the beginning of the end for dinosaurs... which was new information for researchers. https://studyfinds.org/magic-mushrooms-asteroid/ February... From NBC 9 News... Two high school kids in Colorado have received scholarships to play Division One Cornhole for Winthrop University... The athletes are very jacked about it quoted as saying "It's groundbreaking... It's making history!" ... Congratulations to Jaxson and Gavin. At some point professional Cornhole became a thing? and now also opportunities for young athletes to get an education on that Cornhole scholarship... btw Winthrop University is in South Carolina, United States of America. They are the first Division 1 school to offer Cornhole scholarships... Here's another quote... This is from Jaxson talking to media about receiving that Cornhole scholarship... "It's super awesome to make history." I can't argue with that. How fantastic is this? There's a whole new college sport being thrown into the mix... Well, it's not new but new to Division 1 schools... btw, if they don't have Cornhole where you are, it's that lawn game where you throw a beanbag and try to get that bean bag in a hole... The most basic way to describe it. It's a game that at one time I bet people who played horseshoes would make fun of... that part is just speculation. https://www.9news.com/article/sports/local-sports/colorado-cornhole-scholarship/73-ba279aed-6721-4a17-8610-1f6c3fd583df March... The moon was back in the news this week. Russia has announced that they hope to team up with China and build a nuclear power plant on the moon. There's been a lot of moon action from different countries and different agencies... Many of them haven't gone well. Just recently one famously flipped over on its side... It's a little unnerving when you think they're going to be rocketing radioactive stuff to the lunar surface ... You don't want that nuclear power plant to be a failed mission... I just want to float this out here that before we dabble in what has potential to be catastrophic nuclear disaster... wouldn't it be nice, as a proof of concept, If we could put a donut shop on the moon first? Prove to me that you can remotely build a doughnut shop that nothing has gone wrong with, and then I'll be convinced/ I'll trust you with the nuclear thing. I'll trust you with nuclear reactors if first you give me donuts I guess is what I'm saying. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2024/03/05/russia-china-planning-for-joint-nuclear-power-plant-on-the-moon-by-2035/?sh=5ecdec160e1c and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lunar_probes April...

Our "Top Stories of the Year" episode! Here are this week's stories... January The 10 year old girl behind the movement to bring back Haggis flavored chips (crisps)... 10 year old Grace is in Scotland. She loved Haggis chips and when she heard that Haggis flavored chips were being made a seasonal flavor instead of year round, Grace wrote a polite letter to the company saying it would make her sad. They're giving her a year's supply of chips, a tour of the chip factory, and the Haggis chips are back! Victory!! https://news.sky.com/story/girl-10-wins-years-supply-of-crisps-after-campaigning-to-get-niche-flavour-back-on-shelves-13041322 February Gizmodo headline "Japan zoo recaptures escaped man in costume in adorable emergency drill." So at the zoo, they have this thing where they practice what to do if a bear got away... they do it every year. I think we even talked about it on this program before But it made news again because, you know, it's kinda gaining popularity... they hire someone or an employee gets dressed up as a bear and then the zoo workers initiate a take-down. They get one of those bear traps and that's it! Just kidding. https://gizmodo.com/zoo-simulated-bear-escape-japan-1851209277 March Couple of things I didn't know... first of all, hello to our friends in Missouri... the area code in St. Louis is 314 and so that's become a bit of a local holiday in St. Louis... 314 Day/ March 14th. And so I didn't know that... I also didn't know the world record for most people in one place with underwear on their head is 270 participants... Well on March 14th/ 314 Day in St. Louis they're going to try to get 314 participants wearing underwear on their head. This is at a museum in St. Louis. They will supply the underpants. You just got to be there. All we need is your presence and a good attitude. So good luck and shout out to the City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri. https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/us-museum-attempts-underwear-on-head-world-record-for-local-holiday-5193222 April When to exercise for maximum staying alive capabilities!? This is from our friends at Study Finds. Here's a headline. "Why exercising at night may be best for health. 61% lower risk of death from any cause!" They start out by talking about how, and we've all learned this... if you just exercise, It's good for you. Just do it. Any exercise is good. But... now there's a study about... if you're gonna exercise for maximum health potential, what time of day?? It's a pretty big study from the University of Sydney. 30,000 participants... they did moderate to vigorous physical activity. The 30,000 people were studied over an eight year time-frame... the exercising at different times of the day... and there was a pattern to the healthier outcomes. There was a certain time of day when people with the healthiest outcomes did their exercise. Evening. Evening people seem to get the most out of their exercise. 61% lower risk of death from any cause! That's pretty great. If you're an exerciser and you're able to exercise in the evening, you're going to get more out of it according to this study. Now, if you're exercising in the morning or afternoon, it's not like it's bad for you. And please consult your physician. So why is exercising at night or in the evening better? They think because our bodies handle blood sugar better in the day. At night, our bodies can use a bit more help. Blood sugar tends to (character limit) full shownotes at www.shownotes.page…
