I'll write a description tomorrow at work. I have to go to bed. It's tales from the trail 2.

Well folks, we're talking about aliens. The abduction of Betty and Barney Hill is one of the most popular and notable abduction cases in history. Not just because there is a wild and crazy story, but there is also a surprising amount of supporting evidence. Skeptics of the case have made their own theories of the entire situation, and I go over all of it. I also ended up with my own theory on what could have happened, and I'd like to think that it's a little more than possible. All in all, it's a pretty nutty tale, and fits perfectly as a spooky conspiracy. 

Well, the wait is finally over. Damo and I decided there was enough information to officially debate the pros and cons about the next generation consoles. In particular the PS5 and the Xbox Series X or S or whatever the fuck. Regardless, you probably already know that I'm a ride or die Playstation kid. So naturally I take the side of PS5. However, we get deep into both consoles and I feel like we got down to the bottom of it. Also, Jake and Dillon jump on the cast for some 3rd party support and to give some fresh perspectives on this generation of videogame hardware. Let the most important debates of 2020 begin!

Well, once again, I have fallen into a rabbit hole. I planned on doing spooky conspiracies for the month of October. So I started to go through my mental rolodex for some of my favorites, and landed on MKULTRA (kinda creepy honestly.) Project MKULTRA was the CIA's venture into the world of brainwashing and mind control. They used many inhumane methods of destroying somebodies psyche, including but not limited to, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, psychic driving, sensory depravation, medically induced comas, and of course dosing THE FUCK out of tons of people with pure LSD. Now if this sounds too crazy to be true, well, this is a declassified CIA project that has been publicly recognized by the CIA sense 1972. It's as real as it gets. Unfortunately, most knowledge about the project has been incinerated and will never be known. However, there are still hundreds and hundreds of official documents that are completely out in the public domain. So, I started off listening to a couple cast about Project MKULTRA and some of its precursor projects. Then I watched a couple documentaries. And then I finally started reading the documents. From this point forward I started to spiral. There are so many threads to follow that lead from one thing to the next to the next to the next. It quickly started to get out of hand. Finally, after well over a week of torturing myself with the horrors of Project MKULTRA, I decided to just record the cast and just try to break it down as simply as I possibly could. Nonetheless, this is just the tip of the ice berg, with a colossal mountain lying underneath the surface of these dark and disturbing waters.

TLDR; MKULTRA is fucking wild.

The Art of Fuckery 2. The Beige Bois. Gang activity. It gets weird and we rip shit up. More nerd casts coming soon, but until then, enjoy the fuckery.

Coming at you hot with a straight up hitter. In this episode, I sit down with Ricotheguyo and talk about his summer hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Not only does Rico give an in-depth break down of his experience on the PCT; we get to look back at Oregon before the fires took away our outdoor sanctuary. This is definitely a neat little time capsule on top of being just a straight up banger of an episode.

If you thought that my autistic ass wasn't going to do a Mario 35th Anniversary cast, you got another thing coming. This eppie was super fun in so many ways. First, getting to kick it with Damo and do a cast in the Target parking lot. Then getting to PLAY Mario 3D All Stars. And finally being able to gush about the games for almost an hour at the end. Oh well. If you like the little guinea plumber, you'll probably get something out of this cast. P.S. I did the Bianco Hills song at the end, but only the true autist will notice.

After the complete fuckery that was episode 7, I had to hit you with some nerd shit. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 has been crawling around my head sense I did the first episode. Rico breaking down the reversal of the Chicago river made me start to wonder about the city's history and it's origins. Naturally, with the recent fires in Oregon, now seemed like the perfect time to look into the most significant fire in US history.

Oh boy, this one gets wacky. Like really wacky. The goal was to fuck around, and we accomplished. Now, I have to run to Target to buy a videogame. So this is all the description you get. Love ya.

Meant for this bonus to come out after the RPG eppie but I got a little sidetracked. Also, Oregon burnt down, so give me a break. Regardless, this episode is about the origins of Dark Souls, FromSoftware, and Hidetaka Miyazaki. I have so much love for these games and this genre. The joy of overcoming a boss, then a game, then multiple games, is an addiction unlike any other I've found throughout my years of gaming. So naturally, I wanted to look into how it all started, and boy did I find out more than I bargained for.
