An Ohio man allegedly fakes his own kidnapping for $100, and a 1938 radio broadcast convinces some Americans that Martians are invading Earth. Welcome to another ridiculous episode of Unsanctioned Chaos!

Jason and JR kick things off with Ohio Man, where a man allegedly stages his own kidnapping to get drug money from a 71-year-old relative. Because apparently asking to borrow $100 was just too easy.

Then it's time for America 250! We're traveling back to October 30, 1938, when Orson Welles' legendary War of the Worlds radio broadcast frightened listeners with reports of a Martian invasion in New Jersey. But did America really panic, or did newspapers exaggerate the whole thing?

Along the way, we get into bizarre Ohio towns, alien conspiracies, ridiculous gas prices, and plenty of completely unscripted chaos.

Two hosts. Two unbelievable stories. Absolutely no guarantee we'll stay on topic.

On November 5, 2009, U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others. Now, questions surrounding his death sentence and possible execution have brought renewed attention to one of the deadliest shootings on an American military installation.

This week on Unsanctioned Chaos, Jason and JR take on the Fort Hood shooting, the warning signs before the attack, the victims, and the controversy surrounding military executions.

Could the Fort Hood shooting have been prevented? Should military executions be made public? And would Hasan's execution bring any closure to the victims' families?

We're digging into the case, asking difficult questions, and bringing our usual unfiltered commentary to Wacky Wednesday.
