  It Started with Passing Gas

  Sep 25, 202612 min

  A request to stop passing gas in bed somehow became the starting point for a Florida domestic-violence case. In this episode, we take a closer look at the case of 32-year-old Anthony Gordon, who is accused of strangling his 45-year-old girlfriend during an argument at their home. According to the arrest affidavit, the dispute began after she asked him not to fart in bed. Police say the confrontation escalated after she spit at Gordon, and that he then grabbed her by the throat and pulled her from the bed. The alleged attack ended when the woman bit Gordon's finger and was able to get away. She later reported the incident to police and provided investigators with a recording of a conversation in which the two discussed what happened. The allegations discussed in this episode have not been proven in court.

  The Skill Behind the Shovel

  Sep 18, 202612 min

  What happens when digging a grave becomes a competition? This week on The Ebone Zone , we take a look at an unusual contest in Hungary where 19 two-person teams went head-to-head with spades, shovels and pickaxes—not for a trophy in a traditional sport, but for the title of fastest and most skilled grave-diggers. The competitors had to dig graves to exact specifications, working through hard, dry soil while being judged on both speed and technique. But beneath the unusual premise is a more serious purpose: bringing attention to a profession that is essential, physically demanding and often hidden behind society's discomfort with talking about death. The story raises an intriguing question: what happens when we take one of life's most solemn responsibilities and put it into a competitive setting? This episode of The Ebone Zone digs into the Hungarian contest, the work behind it, and the strange intersection of mortality, craftsmanship and competition.

  The Purpose Behind the Spectacle

  Sep 11, 202614 min

  What can 90,000 rubber ducks tell us about community, competition, and making a difference? This week on The Ebone Zone , we take a closer look at Chicago’s annual Ducky Derby, where a river full of rubber ducks becomes an extraordinary fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois. The spectacle is playful, colorful, and undeniably unusual—but underneath the yellow sea of ducks is a story about creating opportunities for athletes with disabilities and bringing an entire community together around inclusion. The 2026 derby sent more than 90,000 ducks floating down the Chicago River, with the event raising more than $480,000. Even a $10 “lone duck” can help provide an athlete’s lunch at a competition, while a $30 “quack pack” can help supply gold medals for a team. Listen to this week’s episode for a perspective on why this quirky Chicago tradition is about much more than rubber ducks racing down a river.

  When Takeout Gets Personal

  Sep 4, 202614 min

  What would you do if a $10,000 food order suddenly showed up at your door—and you never ordered it? On this episode of The Ebone Zone, we’re looking at a bizarre and disturbing case out of Poland involving alleged harassment through food delivery. A 23-year-old man is facing up to eight years in prison after police say he used other people’s personal information to place massive unpaid food orders at their addresses. One order reportedly topped $10,000, while another called for a staggering 300 pizzas. But this story goes well beyond an absurd amount of takeout. Investigators say some of the orders allegedly included threats, personal information about the recipients, and messages referencing serious crimes. So how does a food delivery prank become a criminal investigation? What happens when technology, personal information, and harassment collide? And what does it say about how easily an everyday service can be weaponized? This Week’s Featured Hashtag: #TheStrangerLuredMeWith Send a text to The Ebone Zone!

  When Anime Becomes A Legal Issue

  Aug 28, 202612 min

  This week on The Ebone Zone , we take a look at the bizarre story of a Houston man accused of threatening the Texas Governor’s Office after claiming state law was keeping him from watching anime. What exactly did he think Texas had banned, what do the state’s internet and app laws actually cover, and how did a complaint about streaming escalate into an alleged threat against public officials? It’s a strange story, but it also opens the door to a bigger conversation about internet restrictions, government overreach, personal frustration, and the increasingly complicated relationship between entertainment and the laws governing online access. Because sometimes the story isn’t just “a guy was mad about anime.” Sometimes the strange story tells us something worth examining.
