Lost in the Pages

We just couldn't stay away from making fun of some racists. Isaac surprises John, Dalton and his brother Jacob (special guest coming all the way from France) with a story about Jack Kershaw, the creator of the ugliest statue in the USA. The statue of Confederate General and first KKK Grand Wizard, Nathan Bedford Forrest on the outskirts of Nashville is infamous for how racist, dopey and outright ridiculous it is. Tear it down because of it's homage to racism? Or keep it up as a proper ugly reminder of the Confederacy and how stupid it all is? Plus you'll hear some background on the movie Terminal...no relation to the topic at hand but have fun with it!

Welcome to Tennessee! In our first ever remote recording Isaac and John stay historical in the 1800's and confabulate on the Monthaven Mansion, a Civil War era plantation house outside of Nashville. Learn about its previous owners like LB Fite, how it became an arts center and its role in the Civil War itself. We also discuss the future of the pod and why we've gone remote (spoiler alert, someone moved).

Rumpsey Dumpsey! In our conclusion to the life of the deadbeat VP, Dick Johnson, John, Isaac and Dalton confabulate on his love for Andrew Jackson, what truly makes him the worst VP of all time, selling chickens and somehow the Hollow Earth Theory comes in (it's strangely not out of place). All of that and more!

We've got a 2 parter covering the American Vice President so bad that the President decided to go it alone after 4 years of dealing with him!Welcome to the lifestory of Richard Mentor Johnson! We cover his early life in the Kentucky Frontier, his "heroics" in the War of 1812, his "romance" with an enslaved woman and so so much more. He's called the "most vile man of all the vile men in the world" for a reason folks.

In our first Local Oddities (small tales from KY/TN) we confabulate on a little known cryptid out of Trimble County, KY- The Canip Monster or Milton Lizard, your choice on the name. We've got an auto shop owner with the name "Tuffy", grunts and groans of a lizardman, amphibious aliens, confusion on what a glizzy is and more!

The boys are back in town as Isaac surprises everyone with what begins as a mystery topic and ends with a better understanding of the Vent Haven Museum (the world's only museum dedicated to ventriloquism based in our home state of Kentucky), it's founder W.S. Berger and ventriloquism in general. If there are any ventriloquists listening, we apologize for our behavior.

Attack of the clowns! John, Dalton and Isaac confabulate on the Phantom Clown phenomenon that most recently plagued America in 2016 but the story goes back much further than that. Is it all an elaborate hoax? Is it a case of collective crazy? Or do we have cryptid clowns on our hands? We'll break it all down for ya with a lot of laughs along the way.

Isaac, John, and Dalton confabulate on the 1911 mystery death cult, the Church of Sacrifice, a murdering "demon deaconess" Clementine Barnarbet, voodoo, getting brained by an ax, racism in the bayou and an alarmingly strange amount of Creed references.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to eat a guy? Let's hope that's a no. The whole gang, plus special guest Jake, confabulate on some of the lesser known tales of cannibalism in the USA. We keep it light with cases such as Jean Baptiste, the French/Utah Human Monster, the Kentucky (who really didn't live in Ky) Cannibal and the Colorado Cannibal himself, Alferd Packer! Plus more!

Our conclusion to the lifestory of the Sleeping Prophet, Edgar Cayce! Believe it or not, things get even weirder! In this episode we discuss Edgar's time in Dayton and Texas, his possible affair, and the founding of the A.R.E. We also confabulate on some of the most controversial statements that the Source delivered through Edgar; Atlantis, Japan going under the sea, a physical description of Jesus himself, and so so much more.
