He was a masked vigilante who stormed a private club for the wealthy elite in hopes of uncovering a deep state trafficking ring. In the early 2000s, Richard McCaslin had become obsessed with the idea of the Deep State and the New World Order, and the fact that Reptilian overlords were controlling humanity from behind the scenes. Specifically, he had hear from Alex Jones that there was a private club in Northern California called Bohemian Grove where some of the richest, most powerful celebrities, politicians, and public figures secretly held ritual sacrifices of children and trafficked them in perverse sex rings. So he decided to gear up as the masked vigilante superhero, the Phantom Patriot, and raid the club with a machine gun. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we delve into the fascinating but terrifying life of Richard McCaslin.

In 2006, the worst fan fiction ever written was released. We still haven't figured out who actually wrote it. My Immortal is a bizarre, intensely terrible fan fiction published on the internet from 2006 to 2007. It features a Hot Topic-clad, suicidal, goth, My Chemical Romance-loving female vampire protagonist who goes to Hogwarts and has romances as well as conflicts with the cast of Harry Potter - except all goth'd and Hot Topic'd out themselves. It's a truly hypnotically awful piece of writing. But there's also a mystery behind it. Who wrote it? Many have claimed to have written it. One person even got a huge book deal from claiming they wrote it. But, to this day, we still have no idea who wrote the worst fan fiction ever written. On today's Nostalgicast, we explore the weird world of My Immortal.

The strange story about the time we accidentally went viral for a hoax about Adam Sandler singing the entire Hamilton musical. In 2017, we recorded a weird inside joke bit where an impressionist, Matt Harbert, meticulously re-recorded the entire smash Broadway musical, Hamilton, in his Adam Sandler impression. We posted it online and nobody listened for years. Then, in 2020, out of nowhere, after we'd long forgotten about it, it became a huge viral hit on Tik Tok and Spotify. This is the anatomy of how something goes viral in the modern age of social media, and how you can accidentally create something that resonates with a massive audience years after you thought it would. On today's episode of Deep Cuts, we walk you through the ins, outs, and nitty gritty of a weird viral art project we made called Sandlerton: An Adam Sandler Musical.

Mortal Kombat caused a chain reaction of parental fear in the 90s, so congress tried to ban video games. Video games fought back. In the early 90s, home video game consoles exploded in popularity. But with the newfound success came attention from concerned parents who didn't like seeing their kids exploding each others' heads in the violent fighting game, Mortal Kombat. This lead to a massively important congressional hearing in 1993 that would decide the fate of video games forever. This hearing would wind up changing the landscape of pop culture forever. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we delve into the story of the time that congress tried to censor video games.

She is the most well-known Saint of the modern era, but her true legacy is full of cruelty, torture, and death. Throughout the 1950s - 1990s, Mother Teresa rose to prominence as one of the most well-known and celebrated humanitarians in history. She ran hundreds of hospitals and clinics to help rehabilitate the poverty and disease-stricken poor out of the kindness of her heart, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and was officially granted Saint status by the Catholic Church. We literally use her name as shorthand for saying someone is kind of generous. However, in reality Mother Teresa had an ulterior motive for the humanitarian work that she did, and her clinics and hospitals were poorly-run, unsanitary death traps meant to trick poor people into getting baptized before they died so that the Catholic Church could claim as many souls as possible. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the true, dark story behind the life and legacy of Mother Teresa.

Supposed footage of Bigfoot ruined these two men's lives, ended their friendship, and ushered in a new era of misinformation. In 1967, Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson captured the legendary footage of Bigfoot walking through the woods in Northern California. You've seen the video, but did you know the full story behind it? The fact that Roger Patterson used the video to transform himself into a traveling conspiracy theory circus ringleader, or that it ruined the two men's friendship, or that nearly overnight the frenzy around this footage started a movement that could almost be considered a religion and still continues on to this day? On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the infamous Patterson-Gimlin film.

"Illuminati" is a trading card game from 1994...that predicted the September 11th terror attacks? In the early 80s, Steve Jackson Games released a game called Illuminati. And then in the early 90s they came out with an expanded trading card game version of it to capitalize off of the popularity of Magic: The Gathering. It was a fun game about conspiracy theories that developed a cult following. But, years later, people started noticing that it was predicting major world event after major world event, and might have been designed to give us clues to the coming New World Order? Who is Steve Jackson? And how did he know that 9/11 and COVID-19 were going to happen?

Utopia. Dystopia. These are the two options we thought we had. But there's a third, and we're living in it. Andrew and Dave, your intrepid hosts, have been chipping away at a theory for basically the entire existence of Deep Cuts. It's all about how the year 2020 has revealed that we are living in neither a utopian or dystopian society, but rather a third and more surreal option. A concept that we've coined to describe the world we're currently live in where satire isn't any more absurd than what's happening in real life, and you're scared to go outside of your house but you can have KFC delivered to your door at the touch of a button. The day after the 2020 presidential election is as good a time as any to dive into our theory. On today's Deep Cuts we do something a little different and explore the terrifyingly bizarre concept of...The Verhoeven's Toupee.
