84--Ancient Rocks: An Examination of the Geology in a Period Far Previous Than the One We Are In

How bout THAT title?! Way smarter than episode 81. Three episodes really allow the brain to grow. Today we go over 10 Ancient Stones surrounded in mystery. Pretty self explanatory. Lots of Viking theories and Midwest locations. But are these stones True? Or Real? Go listen and find out.

Dec 13, 202042:51
83--Lake Vostok

Today we are discussing a lake. But is more than a lake? Or just a lake? Or even a lake at all? Only the Russians know. TYPICAL! Thank you all for continuing to support us, also Jackson is better at the sound board.

How bout that title, huh? Sounds smart as hell. Today we are covering 10 Mysteries in Ancient Archeology. That is pretty much it. Sequel to this episode will be next week. Also the intro may sound weird. Go listen to episode 6 of Spill Your Beans to understand why.

Nov 20, 202001:08:29
80--CIAIDS

80--CIAIDS

AIDS! Did we scare you? Today Douglas is talking about the conspiracy that the CIA created AIDS, we also do some rambling and good ole chit chat but we hope you like it. More episodes coming out this week.

First things first, thank you to everyone who has listened and supported us over the years. 1000 followers is amazing, and something we never expected when we started this in my dorm room almost three years ago. We're happy so many people have enjoyed listening and we're looking forward to the future.


Oh also, Douglas tells stories, Jackson tells stories, and they get deep at the end. Thank you.

76--Po Po Po

76--Po Po Po

Douglas has kicked off his own series to celebrate the spooky season. I am not sure what he is calling the series. It's not important. What is important is to remember to enjoy spooky season, because you never know if you'll die within the next year at some point and never get to experience Halloween again.

Oct 03, 202029:34
75--Johnny T and the Quantum Physics

72--Demo Pedos, The Moon is Hollow, Etheral Aliens, Give Us a Follow

(Sing the title like the 1989 Billy Joel classic "We Didn't Start the Fire"). Welcome back! We've been gone longer before, don't judge. Today was kind of a jack-of-all-trades episode. Some laughter, some anger, some love, some tears, and of course......some laughter. That's really it. Love you all.

Aug 19, 202001:00:41
71--Maura Murray: Uncovered

71--Maura Murray: Uncovered

In our 5th Uncovered, we are joined by long time listener, first time follower of Jackson, Ward Bronold. Is he the best guest yet? Who knows. Is he a guest? Absolutely. Maura Murray was last seen February 9th, 2004, and to this day she is still reported missing. BUT, perhaps we were able to solve it. 

Aug 06, 202001:21:30
70--Current Events

70--Current Events

64--Free Energy Suppression With a Side of No Succession

Today, we got a trifecta. Or a quad-fecta (quadta?). Alexander McKinnon, Stanley Meyer, and John Kanzius are considered key figures in the free energy suppression conspiracy. That's really all I have to say. Now, a word from our sponsor...

63--Throwback #2: The Second One

63--Throwback #2: The Second One

It is a second throwback episode. Shorter, but denser. Quicker, but slower. Sexy, but even more sexy. To be honest, I can't remember all we talked about so you can go listen for yourself. Or don't, I can't really tell you what to do. But I can suggest it.

As always, today's episode is brought to you by Gary Busey Productions.
