62: Is Coincidence a Myth? The Law of Synchronicity
What if you could scientifically prove that there are no coincidences? Famed physicist Carl G. Jung did just that in 1920. Wait, was he a physicist? Okay, yeah, I'm looking at a picture of him now and he was definitely a physicist. In this synchronistic 'sode of Strictly Confidential, Asher and Jackson will make you question if it really was just random chance that you found this incredible podcast.
61: The Most Believable Alien Contact We've Recieved
Do you know what we call the Wow signal? No I'm not talking about the speed you log into World of Warcraft! I didn't know our listeners were a bunch of nerds. Sorry, I didn't mean to bully you.

58: Miraculous Staircase
Who built the miraculous floating staircase in Santa Fe? It's no stairway to heaven, but a small church in New Mexico that tramples on the rules of physics is not going to go unnoticed. But how does a climb on these divine steps compare to a passably functional service elevator? In this 'sode of Strictly Confidential, Asher and Jackson will elevate you to a higher understanding of the divine realm... and Southwest American architecture.
57: The Universe Started Last Thursday
What were you doing last Wednesday? Last Wednesday, I was merely a concept in my creator's mind being prepped with my current memories for my new creation. It was either that or going to an escape room. Well, now I can't remember. Join Asher and Jackson as they break down the beliefs of Last Thursdayism.
56: Antarctic Tanks
Has a satellite photo ever accidentally captured a UFO crash site? We have a possible contender that comes from bowels of Santa's maximum security prison, The South Pole.

54: Skull and Bones Society
Are the Bonesmen members of a secret society hellbent on world domination or just big fans of Pirates of the Caribbean?

Anyways, join Asher and Jackson as they dive deep into the history behind man with the first lightbulb moment.

33: America's Secret Plan To Blow Up The Moon
