People don't really value their vote. And to be fair, a single vote rarely swings an election. But you could only vote once in your entire life you may think differently.

Maybe smartphones were a mistake. Sure you can call out BS quickly, but people can make BS even quicker. Plus it's totally destroying kids self esteem and isolating everyone.

Anyway enough grim stuff, how would you erase smartphones from the world?

Yes, we talk about one of people's favorite conspiracy theories! And we ask what happens depending on when we find out and get some interesting answers. This episode was going to be titled "houses don't have hands", you'll see why.

People already believe everything on Facebook is real so why not see what happens if that's actually happening? We do a lot of tangents including the classic 90s commercials for Boku:

What if everyone just forgot what happened yesterday, every day. We endeavor to be as good as Memento but definitely better than 50 first dates.

On this episode we ask what if PETA got their way (mostly with America). The audio is a bit quiet for our new host so you may need to boost the audio a little. I was using a temporary computer and didn't quite get the levels right. Next episode should be back to normal.

On this episode we ask what if every happy meal came with a voodoo doll? Does McDonalds do this on purpose? Are they public about it? What's the fallout? Can I use this for capitalism?

What would happen if every person ever was a ghost? There have been theoretically 100 billion people who've ever lived, so that's just under a dozen ghosts per person. What could ghosts do? Could you hire them on fiver?

Anyway, moon's haunted.

People enjoy music, people enjoy alcohol, what if we Reese's peanut buttered those two things? You don't realize how freely available music is until you try to figure out how people would deal with it making you drunk. We are working towards a bigger guest list but missed the mark this time, maybe some day.

Here's a movie that is out that seems interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Fiction_(film)

We may have brought up Shatner as possibly being music but also maybe not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0hTtsqiFCc

And it turns out the movie Footloose may have had a point in this alternate universe
