Then, Willy talks about the famous shooting at the Chappell House in 1920 that left one man dead, and a gun-toting preacher on trial for his life. It's time to get Wild, Wicked and Weird!

This week, Willy and Brett take a break from our usual true crime stories and are joined by our good friend Joel who tell us about his travels and experiences through the world of semi-pro baseball. From Appalachia country to the west coast, he holds nothing back, including the time he swindled his way onto a reality tv show (it actually aired).

19. Music Pirates & The Only Plane Allowed To Fly on 9-11
This week, Brett and Willy go back to the early 2000s to talk about Napster, Pokemon and other high-cultured topics. First, Willy recounts some of the early battles between the RIAA and the music pirates on the open seas of the internet. Then, Brett tells the story of a Guyanese septuagenarian herpetologist (that's right) who suffered a life threatening injury on a historically bad day to need an airplane in the US.

18. Muskoka Murder Mysteries
This week, Willy and Brett travel "up north" to cottage country to bring you Muskoka Murder Mysteries. First, Willy tells the disturbing story of The Laan Clan and how their chain of retirement homes in the Muskoka region was uncovered to be the final stop in life for many of their 'guests'. How many people's social insurance cheques can you steal before you go to jail? The number may shock you.
After the break, Brett tells the story of one of Canada's most influential artists and how his tragic death in Algonquin Park has sparked curiosity and intrigue for over 100 years. Whatever you may call it. A mystery, conspiracy, myth, or ghost story. The death of Tom Thomson is the closest thing to a Canadian legend we have.
Who killed Tom Thomson? Everyone has their own theory. Find out ours on this episode of Wild, Wicked and Weird.

17. Honour The Badge But Fear The Slasher
This week is a hometown special with two stories from Windsor, Ontario. First, Brett tells the story of Sr. Constable John Atkinson, who is the only member of the Windsor Police Service to be killed in the line of duty. We follow the chain of events leading up to John's tragic death on May 5, 2006 and subsequent legal trial and punishment phase for the murderer, Nikkolas Brennan. In part two, William takes us back to 1945-46, when Windsor had it's very own serial killer, "The Slasher". A historic case which shines a light on the rampant discrimination and homophobia in our city prevalent to the time period. Who was The Slasher? Find out this week on Wild, Wicked & Weird!
