Short episode because Mike's power went out. EDIT: I fixed the intro. This is a re-upload

00:00:00 – Stream Setup Chaos & the Cloud VM Plan Mike wrestles with streaming platforms and lands on a plan to run OBS/Restream through a cloud-hosted GPU VM—cool, pricey, and very "to the cloud!"

00:10:00 – "Watercooler Show" Vibes & Alex/Owen Drama The guys tee up a "big" episode, then dive into the Alex Jones–Owen Shroyer split, with speculation about what triggered the blow-up.

00:20:00 – Alex's Apology, Joe's Update, and a Goldblum Bit Alex Jones apologizes on air; Joe sends word he'll be back after finishing freelance gigs; and we get a pitch-perfect Jeff Goldblum read before pivoting topics.

00:30:00 – Did the Ancient Greeks Reach America? They unpack a Greek Reporter piece: a Plutarch dialogue, Saturn in Taurus as a travel marker, and a 75 AD eclipse are used to argue Greeks could ride Atlantic currents to North America—wild, but fun to consider.

00:40:00 – Bigfoot as… Cain? A Mormon-adjacent legend says Cain was cursed to roam the earth—and some tie that to Bigfoot. The crew riffs on the lore and how it meshes with sightings.

00:50:00 – Bigfoot Lore Deep Dive More on the Cain/Bigfoot angle, an ex-Mormon thread, even "Is Bigfoot a swimmer?" plus a recent Michigan encounter reminder.

01:00:00 – Roger Waters vs. the Osbournes & Radiohead Buzz Roger Waters' jab at Ozzy draws fire from Jack Osbourne; then chatter veers to sales stats and Radiohead's first tour in years.

01:10:00 – Network-State Utopias in Ghost Cities Balaji's "network state" gets a workout: a ghost metropolis in Malaysia as a classroom, legal headaches in Honduras, and big questions about recognition and sovereignty.

01:20:00 – AI Money Flood & a Peer-Reviewed UFO Case Anthropic/Claude closes a monster Series F at a gargantuan valuation, and—big one for UFO nerds—a 1966 Louisiana case is accepted by Progress in Aerospace Sciences after peer review.

01:30:00 – "Desert of the Weird": 100 Piles of Ashes & AC/DC vs. Wolves A Nevada mystery: roughly 100 piles of professionally cremated remains are found near Searchlight; later, drones blasting AC/DC are used to haze wolves and protect cattle.

01:40:00 – The Lights Go Out A sudden power outage knocks the show offline; Mike signs off and promises an extra-long crazy-news segment Saturday.
