My Existential Crisis episodes

  • 52. Fatal Prosciutto & Little Tiny Guys (Bashar the Extraterrestrial)

    Episode 52 is here, and it's a weird one. We talk about a close call with a (near) fatal appetizer, precognitive knowledge of raffle drawings and the growing conversation around telepathy in people and pets. Is it real, and if not, how do our cats know when to come to the door when we arrive home? There's literally no other explanation.


    This week, Dylan is covering Darryl Anka (Darryl, not Paul) and his alleged ability to channel an alien entity that calls itself Bashar. We talk about Darryl's background and Bashar's comments on reality, the mechanics of teleportation and politics in 2025. We also look at what's going on inside Darryl's brain when he's channeling...

  • 51. 2020 Thrive, 2020 Drive & Wig Talk (The Story of Blanche Monnier)

    We're on episode 51 and we are having the time of our lives. Madison has won a trip to KENYA, where she will embark on a 20 hour flight for a total of over 2 days of travel. She's going to be pumped full of inoculations and root beer-flavored malaria pills in order to have the opportunity of a lifetime. Dylan, equally as impressive(?), is *maybe* driving across the country in the fall, but that's to be determined.


    This week, Madison covers the story of Blanche Monnier, a socialite who had mysteriously disappeared after a night out with her lover.

  • 50. Tactical Feeling & An Unimpressive Ice Crystal (Is Water Sentient?)

    We're officially over the hill with episode 50! It's been a long journey, but we've loved every bit of it. We're especially unhinged this week with lots of passionate conversation and fun facts.


    Madison rants about society's lack of knowledge on how to use roundabouts properly and indulges us all in a traffic safety lesson. Overall, we've determined that we're upon the end times and Dylan informs us of the very little he knows about the rapture. To prove that we know *something* the duo rattles off random facts.


    This episode, Dylan digs into the science and speculation of what defines something as being "sentient." Particularly, he grapples with the question "is water sentient?"

  • 49. An After-After Birthday and a Puckered Blowhole (The Girl Who Talked to Dolphins)

    After a very very (very) long unintentional hiatus from technological and viral illness, we are BACK with episode 49!

    This week, the duo get caught up on all the things they've missed talking about over the last month: wedding planning, a broken shelf, devilish cats, etc.

    Madison brings the tragic, sensual star-crossed tale of Margaret Lovatt and Peter... the dolphin. While the story is not as titillating as the headlines would make it sound, it's still tragically existential in SO many other ways.

  • 48. My Bare Hands & A Communal Mail Slot (The Murder of Robert Eric Wone)

    Welcome to episode 48! We're diving into 2025 with lots of goals and growth! We're getting bronchy honky tonky squonky up in here! We're losing our minds and diving headfirst into existential dread after last week's episode...


    This week, Madison brings a real doozy. If you wanted something simple, this is not it. Madison covers the unsolved and incredibly mysterious murder of Robert Eric Wone. It's got twists and turns and DNA not in the places you'd expect.

  • 47. Binaural Beats to Shift Your Reality To (Google's Willow Chip & Parallel Universes)

    New year, new us! Welcome to episode 47 and a brand new year! Twenty-twenty-five, twenty-twenty THRIVE, am I right? Surprise surprise, Madison is sick again, but Dylan is feeling better than ever. We aren't ones for resolutions, but Madison's goal is going to be carrying Madame Zeroni up the mountain to fix her lungs.


    This week, Dylan breaks our brains by talking about Google's recent breakthrough, a quantum computing chip called the Willow Chip, which can solve a problem that would take

    10 septillion years only 5 minutes. Even more bonkers, the scientists who created it believe it's functionality is proof of parallel universes. Somebody call Scott Bakula, we're gonna leap with him!

  • 46. A Tinfoil Hat & the Star Trek Parallel (The Mystery Drones Over New Jersey)

    It's episode 46 and we're just jumping right into our story today!


    In this episode, Dylan dives deep into the recent mysterious drone and orb appearances over New Jersey and across the globe. We speculate their origins, how much the government knows, and the best and worse case scenarios of these sightings. We're talking aliens, orbs, and parallel universes. In case you thought we were sane, this is the most we've sounded like crazed conspiracy theorists to date (and not gonna lie, it gets a little dark).

  • 45. Two Gleeks and an Anheuser Schnauzer (The Circleville Letters)

    It's episode 45 and although the opening banter got cut a little short, it certainly wasn't lacking depth. Our very own Madison is now a betrothed woman! Now if only she can stop hurting her fingers so she can put on that ring.


    This week, Madison covers the decades-long mystery of the Circleville letters. It's giving Agatha Christie, it's giving James Patterson, it's giving Gossip Girl vibes. If nothing else, don't forget about the Circleville Pumpkin Festival!
