From the liminal, to the holographic, to the fictious, we have explored several different worlds and realities this season. However, there is one world that we can all concretely say is ours. This one, planet Earth. Regardless of what you may believe about the shape, age, or size of our interstellar home address, as far as we know, this is the only place we have. Yet we seem hell bent on making a mess of the whole thing, and the planet is now responding in kind. Not to retread a previous spiel, but hurricanes and tornados are becoming more powerful, fires more common, and potable water more scarce. Climate change is here, and now we must contend with it. So Dear Listener, for tonight’s episode we will be departing from our usual comedically inclined esoteric explorations and delving into what this new reality means for all of us.

Follow us down the spiral collapse and rebirth of systems and selves, traced not through official narratives but through fractal personal stories. The strange weather of people’s lives revealing a larger pattern.

Otherwise known as the ol’ bait and switch down at the burger factory.

Let's face it, holograms are cool as hell; there's no getting around it. Whether it was a full cover National Geographic, the tiny image on a credit card, or a super cool dragon necklace from the flea-market we've all been mesmerized by one at least once in our life. Well, what if I told you that these little images are tricks; the actual truth is that EVERYTHING IS HOLOGRAM. Come explore the history, uses, and implications of this phenomenon that is at least 75 years old, but maybe is as old as the concept of dimensional reality itself.

An easily digested break down of our various vacations, for you dear listeners to enjoy in your para-social friendship with Josh and Dale. But beware, Josh may be a bad friend(?).

Talking points:

Kevin Costner is OK.

Mel Brooks looks pretty good for 99.

What are the Atlanteans trying to beam out in 2025?

Plus something for all you tickheads out there, you know who you are.

Hello Dear Listener! In this episode Josh and Dale once again stray from the esoteric path to talk about some of the technological underpinnings of science fiction. That’s right, we are talking all things LASERs and directed energy. Will this be an informative episode, or will it be more nonsense from your favorite pseudointellectuals? Only one way to find out.

Short one this week, folks as we're both sort of in-between vacations over here. Still, there's bit of banter, and a couple of articles in here.

Despite our best efforts we have yet to determine what other dimensions look like. Are they merely mathematical thought experiments designed to make modern physics work? Or are they actually fully developed universes where parallel versions of ourselves go to work at slightly different jobs? In this episode Josh and Dale try to wrap their 3D brains around the possibility that our observable reality may not be all there is, leading to the question, is it possible that tangible multidimensional spaces exist or is all in le head?

Once again Dear Listener, Dale has decided to foolishly try and convince everyone he is not a nerd by delving needlessly deep into an obscure nerdy topic. Meanwhile Josh is to tired and sick to stop him and is forced to listen to this whole mess. That's right, for this episode we will be talking about the Chaotic TCG, a game you've never heard about. Unless you are Canadian or Danish or something.

Correction In this episode I mention that the game and series end because 4Kids went bankrupt. However they stopped printing cards and airing the show in 2010, before the 2011 Yu-Gi-Oh lawsuit (You can learn more about in below). However the website and online play would continue until the bankruptcy eventually closed that down too.

Do you enjoy watching disaster unfold? Well, grab your novelty Dispatches popcorn bucket (n0w with more lithium in the battery), sit back, and enjoy as we carry you though this one. Here's just a bit of what we're talking about this week:

• Dale has to replace his AC because of Josh reading Zoltar cards.
• America is going to hold the first Death Race, probably.
• All the AI slop you never thought you wanted to see from the White House.
