9/11, Cocaine Hippos and Feral Otters

In this episode of the "Ben Kissel Channel," Ben, Jerii Aquino, and Kyle Ploof dive into a bizarre mix of dark humor, wild stories, and controversial headlines.

They start by reflecting on 9/11, discussing personal memories and a "what would you have done?" thought experiment. From there, the hosts cover a string of strange and shocking incidents, including a tragic inheritance murder case in Long Island, where a man killed his siblings over a family dispute. The episode continues with lighter but equally odd stories, like Bon Jovi saving a woman from jumping off a bridge during a music video shoot and the increasingly strange saga of Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos, which have become a dangerous invasive species in Colombia.

Other highlights include a disturbing case of animal cruelty in Texas involving a cat, a finalist from Miss Switzerland being brutally murdered, and a jogger in Malaysia being mauled by a gang of otters. The show wraps up with a true crime story about a man who beheaded his father after claiming he was working for the federal government.

It's a wild ride full of shocking news, dark humor, and strange tales that will leave you laughing and cringing at the absurdity of it all.
