High-Dere

This week on High-Dere we celebrate Ian's 30th birthday and press our luck with a creepy story that we've decided to write and develop into a script. 

Ian starts the show by taking us through the 1984 story of Michael Larson, the legendary Press Your Luck game show winner, who took home a whopping $110,237 after figuring out the pattern of the game to avoid the bankrupting Whammies… or did he? 

We take a sharp turn down humanity street by questioning the motives behind those defunding Planned Parenthood while reflecting on the powerful magic of words and how it effects those around us. 

We wrap things up with a challenge by igniting our creative brains into a frenzy over Olivia Mabel's death and how we're going to fill in the gaps as to how we think she met her end. 

All this and more on Episode 53 of High-Dere!

Shout Out to Greg Proops, Fields Afire and, of course, Dave Foley (Michael Larson)!

This week on High-Dere we give the world something everyone wants out of a weekly show. Enough episodes to fill a full year!!!! 

Today Joe brings to the table an article about a particular pesticide present and engineered into BT crops by Monsanto that is actually causing new allergies in people (like gluten intolerance) and literally eating away at our intestines. Dr. Jaydee Hanson’s words walk us through the complex science of GMOs which, like it or not, are already on your plate every day!

Then, after a commercial break, Ian reads a tale he ran across about Olivia Mabel, a woman in Texas who was found mysteriously dead in her house. Local legend has morphed the story into one of potential Tulpa creation, so it definitely caught our attention. 

All this and an Epic IPA by Mammoth Brewing Company on this week’s episode of High-Dere.

This week on High-Dere we shout out a lot of podcasts and people we met at Los Angeles Podcast Festival 2015! Live podcast performances and comedians that are all a little bit insane were in abundance at LA Podfest, and we got to experience podcasting in a whole new way. Shout outs and a list of our favorite shows below. 

Then we learn about the DuPont company and the spin being put on a legal case in which they are being sued for causing cancer due to chemically contaminated drinking water. Really, our question is why it’s acceptable to have ANY chemicals in our drinking water? It’s not an issue of what’s safe for human consumption (and by who’s standards?) but why it’s even happening in the first place. 

And we ask the question “Shouldn't an artist’s art be judged separately from the individual and their actions?” 

All this and more on Episode 51 of High-Dere.

This week on High-Dere we go Over-The-Hill to episode 50 by talking about a whole bunch of made up stuff and how it can and does cross the line into reality. 

With a military helicopter escort, Joe starts off with a correction about Dick Cheney that leads us into a fascinating corporate history lesson about Halliburton and the sinister connections that it and so many of it’s key players share behind a shadowy curtain. 

And then we chat more about Tulpa. We hear what they are, how they got to the western world and how they have actually affected reality in the case of the Slender Man Stabbing, 2014 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. 

And to top it all off, we hear about Ian’s imaginary friend Henry and “The Wolf” from Ian’s childhood that finally got him. All this on a silver aged episode of High-Dere. 

Shout out to Sexy Chupacabra this week! She laughs in the face of fear. 

Also Shout out to Jen Briney and Greg Carlwood. Hopefully we’ll have you on the next show!

This week on High-Dere, we examine corporations, governments and thoughtforms that overstep their bounds and are wreaking havoc over the world. 

We start off talking about the Netflix show Narcos, the story of Pablo Escobar and the struggle against extradition and the DEA. 

This leads us to chat about the financial industry and black budgets, missing money and the covering up of paper trails, and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) brought about by the World Trade Organization (WTO). 

And to wrap it all up, we hear a story Ian found on Reddit about a man who thinks he might be a Tulpa that he created as a child inhabiting his physical body, different from the person he was when he was born. 

Check it out on this week’s episode of High-Dere.

This week, on a late night (and slightly toasty) episode of High-Dere, we confirm our masculinity by going to a drag show. 

At the top of the show, we talk about early childhood and 1st grade before we hear some jokes written by Joe in the middle of the night. 

Then we get distracted by Mario. 

Then, with special guest Stacey Danger, we talk about Chico’s Angels, an Off Broadway play starring 3 latinas (in drag) playing a very caricature-ish version of Charlie’s Angels. 

After a commercial break we talk about the popularity of Jesus, our involvement in the colonization of Mars, and our thoughts on Michael Jackson. 

All this and much more on this week’s episode of High-Dere. 

This week, we invite Nicolas Cage on the show.
