00:00:00 – Sleepless Host, Loose Plan Mike opens sleep-deprived and punchy, setting expectations for a looser show with calls, goofy news, and a pivot away from a so-so Yowie/Kangaroo book; tees up Shag Harbor because even Popular Mechanics is poking at it lately.

00:10:00 – Bar-Band Taser Story → J6 Informants A wild 2006–07 New Year's gig tale (friends tasing each other) segues into news: House inquiries about how many paid informants the FBI embedded on Jan. 6 and whether they informed or instigated.

00:20:00 – Hard News Beats & Callers Leaning into "hardcore news," the guys riff on hearings and agency caginess around undercover counts and information-sharing, with Mike's sardonic play-by-play of how bureaucrats dodge questions.

00:30:00 – TikTok, Trends, & Masculinity Setup The cultural beat widens—social-media weirdness, youth trends, and the runway to a bigger masculinity/manosphere segment and a planned "top 10" conspiracies list.

00:40:00 – Saudi Comedy, Culture Clashes Jokes about U.S. comics doing gigs in Saudi Arabia—what lands, what doesn't—and how culture gaps change the show you'd write for that crowd.

00:50:00 – Manosphere Firestorm They read the Wikipedia/UN-ish "red pill/manosphere" framing and torch the definitions, noting big names omitted (Rogan) and how media narratives flatten nuance.

01:00:00 – Launching the Top-10: "Rewriting History" The countdown begins—snarky fact-checks and asides as they chew through entries, from recent space-stunt claims to older internet chestnuts—warming up for the deep-end items.

01:10:00 – #6: "Did Rome Ever Exist?" They unpack the "phantom Rome" hypothesis (Fomenko et al.), why historians reject it, and why the idea still fascinates—fun, skeptical, and theatrical.

01:20:00 – #3 & #2: Holocaust Denial, Challenger Survivors Serious tone for denialism (they underscore the evidence and why the misinformation is dangerous), then tackle "Challenger crew survived" riffs, mixing memory, engineering talk, and media literacy.

01:30:00 – #1: "Jet Fuel/Steel Beams" They close the list with 9/11 physics basics (strength loss vs. melting), ejector-seat fantasies for the Shuttle, and why some "gotcha" lines persist online.

01:40:00 – The Return of "Penis Man" Phoenix/Tempe's infamous graffiti saga is back; news packages, a custom "Ballad of Penis Man," and then—boom—an arrest update, with side-quests into the suspect's punk/skate/IG world.

01:50:00 – National AJ Day, Hey-Yo Nation A restaurant-made "holiday" sparks AJ-bit madness: greeting the world with "hey yo," tagging Alex Jones online, and piling on goofy AJ-lore.

02:00:00 – Sign-Off Shenanigans Free-association finale: Saudis/comedy again, "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" riffs, and musical chaos rolling into the credits and one last Penis Man flourish.
