    279: Wrath - The Dead Man’s Switch
    Jan 24 2026

    In 1977, inside a quiet mortgage office in Indianapolis, Tony Kiritsis strapped a shotgun to his mortgage broker's neck, rigged it to a dead-man’s switch, and turned a personal grievance into one of the most disturbing standoffs in American history. For hours, police, negotiators, and a stunned public watched as Kiritsis dared anyone to make the wrong move.

    This week on Seven Deadly Sinners, we dissect the anatomy of obsession, grievance, and pride — how a financial dispute metastasized into a public spectacle fueled by paranoia and control. When a bank takes advantage of a customer, they never expect to end up on the other end of the barrel.

    From the psychological unraveling to the media circus that amplified every second, this episode explores wrath at its most theatrical—and most tragic.

  • 277: The Soldier Who Would Not Surrender — Hiroo Onoda’s 30-Year War Part 3

    277: The Soldier Who Would Not Surrender — Hiroo Onoda’s 30-Year War Part 3
    Dec 15 2025
    On this chilling episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we plunge into one of the most astonishing tales of obedience, delusion, and the deadly consequences of unshakable belief. Hiroo Onoda, an elite Japanese intelligence officer trained to never surrender, vanished into the jungles of Lubang Island during World War II… and kept fighting for three more decades after the war had ended.

    As the world rebuilt, Onoda waged a private war in the shadows — stealing food, attacking villagers, and evading countless rescue attempts. Was he a loyal soldier? A brainwashed zealot? Or something far darker? We peel back the layers of an extraordinary human tragedy shaped by pride, violence, and a nation unwilling to face defeat.

    Join us as we explore the psychological grip of military indoctrination, the lives lost in Onoda’s long refusal to accept reality, and the bizarre, heartbreaking moment his former commander had to travel into the jungle to tell him — finally — to stand down.

    This is the story of devotion pushed to deadly extremes. And it may just be one of the most haunting stories of pride we’ve ever covered.

  • 273: The Untold True Story of Bristlewolf with Special Guest Nathan Morley

    273: The Untold True Story of Bristlewolf with Special Guest Nathan Morley
    Nov 6 2025
    Most people go to the Black Rock Desert to party under neon skies.
    Nathan Morley went there to dig up a murder.

    Long before Burning Man, this same stretch of Nevada wasteland was home to something darker - a drifter named Ronald John Gress, known only by his nickname: Bristlewolf.

    He built a life in the middle of nowhere
    a hole in the ground, a shovel, and silence.
    And when the peace broke, three people ended up dead.
    Their bodies lay in the desert for ten days before anyone found them.

    For seven years, Nathan chased this story.
    He walked the same cracked earth, lived inside his dugout, pored over six thousand court files, police reports, and forgotten letters. He interviewed forty-two people, survivors, witnesses, lawmen, even the families of the dead.

    What he uncovered isn’t legend.
    It’s real.


    Bristlewolf isn’t fiction.
    It’s a true story about pride, madness, and the way the desert remembers what men try to bury.

    272: Chavez Ravine
    Oct 28 2025
    In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we dig into the dark history buried beneath Dodger Stadium — Chavez Ravine. Before the cheers and bright lights, it was a thriving Mexican-American community. Then came the promises of progress, eminent domain, and bulldozers. What followed was betrayal, broken families, and one of Los Angeles’ most haunting sins: a story where the American Dream was stolen in the name of it.
