Nuclear Jimmy Inspections & Not Just Inches

Nuclear Jimmy Inspections & Not Just Inches

Hey Interns, welcome to season 2. I mean, phase two of your internship! You have braved the hijinx and lack of safe working conditions suitable for most normal machinery, let alone humans. This phase will be more intense and involve a lot more personal time with us! EXCITED? (Don't worry, Zack and Eli have promised to wear deodorant more often). This week we are talking about how a peanut farmer saved a Canadian metropolis and how you could be measuring things in all sorts of weird ways. 

We hope you enjoy this phase and we are excited for this journey.

Mad Wizard Influencer & Many Weird Integrations

Sorry for the late release! We took two weeks off for graduation. Neither Zack or Eli graduated, but we figured we would celebrate regardless. We are back to talk about weird cross-overs with Archie comics and how one crazy mad man, Aleister Crowley, inspired a generation.

Dyatlov? I'll Pass & Duke Insists Privacy

Dyatlov? I'll Pass & Duke Insists Privacy

Interns, have you ever wondered what happens to people who are too outdoorsy? Could they be eaten by wildebeests? Could they be taken out by the KGB? Well we will look into the mysterious happenings that took place with the Dyatlov Pass. We will also look at a royal member who was a recluse to the extreme degree, 5th Duke of Portland, John Bentinck. 

This shift is weird, just going to be Frank with you. I don't know who this Frank is either but he seems very stoic. Anyways, thank you interns for sticking around for 25 shifts so far. We are happy to bring these to you and happy that you think this experience will help your job hunt in the future.

Nuclear Headbutt & Naughty Hypocrite

Nuclear Headbutt & Naughty Hypocrite

Have you ever stuck your head into a particle accelerator? Neither have we, but it seems like a quick why to dry your hair. Join us this week interns as we talk about the Russian scientist who headbutted an atom and is still living to tell the tale. Also, let's head South of the border to learn about a different kind of president. Is he much different than the scandalous US ones we have covered? Maybe not, but he sure was tyrannical. We will cover the over 30 year reign of Mexican Leader Porfirio Diaz.

Voysich’s Cosmic School Survival Guide & Very Classified Seaside Surgery Grover

Have you ever wrote down notes for class and couldn't understand what you wrote down afterward? Well what if someone found your pages of notes hundreds of years later and thought they were a weird astrological guide to your alien planet? You would be cool with that?
