Summary
"Florida, we need to have a talk." jokes Stephen as this week's story takes us to Key West where nothing ever wild happens! Just kidding, because even if nothing else weird ever happened in Key West this story would be enough to forever mark the city. It's certainly got both Christi and Stephen shaking in their boots as there's a level of macabre in this, very much true story, that's unforgettably creepy to its very core. We're of course talking about radiologist Carl Tanzler and his corpse bride.
Often referred to as Count Carl von Cosel (a name and title he made up and gave himself), Tanzler became deeply committed to pursuing a patient of his after recalling a dream where his true love looked exactly like her. Unfortunately for Tanzler she passed away from tuberculosis, and unfortunately for her that didn't stop Tanzler. After two years of longing for his unrealized love, he took matter into his own hands and dug up her remains, hellbent on making her his wife. The many years it took to uncover Tanzler's sick escapades resulted in the situation only growing weirder, but you'll have to tune-in to discover the sordid details that even your spooky minded hosts struggle to fully accept is real.
Quotes
“So he just makes stuff up. He's just like, 'Eh, I think I'm gonna be a Count,' which by the way from this point forward I would like you to refer to me as Baroness, because uh, I'm a Baroness!” (11:10-11:18 | Christi)
“So, Carl visits her daily and every night he continues to call here and propose over the phone. Bitch are you gonna tell him? She's dead boy, she ain't answering!." (15:40-15:54 | Christi & Stephen)
“No I can relate because what always freaked me out was the Tooth Fairy." (34:30-34:33 | Stephen)
“Fuck you Carl! Fuck you Carl! Alright so we're going to call this Stephen Give too Many Fucks.” (40:11-40:17 | Christi & Stephen)

| 0:10.4 | now everybody's going to know the name because it's what is going to be listed but in our world at this point where we are in the past like because we're talking to you from the past we just came up with a name and Stephen came up with it. Do you want to tell them? |
| 0:24.8 | I do I'm really excited so I thought it was very fitting for our brand and just us so our |

| 1:07.4 | like kind of outside what is typically and what's the norm. So I think it's |
| 1:11.5 | perfect and honestly it's kind of fitting because at least I can say for me I think that people think one way of me and I'm like no no I'm actually a lot different than maybe what you think so that's kind of like beyond the normal expectations like that misconception |
| 1:27.0 | You know like you're beyond the norm to so I think everybody is truly and I like the name and I like the concept of it because it doesn't limit us to one genre of something |
