Talk about the weather?? Of course...we are from the midwest! In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the wild world of Midwest weather. From the terrifying power of tornadoes tearing across the plains to the strange phenomenon known as corn sweat. We're discussing the science, the myths, and the madness. We also touch a bit on hurricanes and cyclones.  Ever heard of a bomb cyclone? Yeah, we talk about that too. If you've ever had to grab a snow shovel and then had a tornado warning in the same week, this one's for you. Strap in...it’s going to be a bumpy ride through the heart of America’s most unpredictable skies.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions about human decomposition and forensic research. If you're squeamish or easily disturbed, you might want to sit this one out (or at least don’t listen while eating). Listener discretion is advised.

Ever wonder what a body farm actually is? In this delightfully eerie episode, we’re digging into the world of human decomposition research, where donated bodies are studied in open fields, shallow graves, and even car trunks to help forensic scientists solve real-world mysteries. We’ll talk about why these farms exist, who’s doing the studying, and the different ways bodies are displayed across facilities in places like Tennessee, Texas, and even overseas. It’s creepy, it’s cool, and it just might change the way you think about what happens after death.

Pull up a chair and join us on the porch for another unscripted ramble through... everything. Seriously, we never know where these conversations are going, and that’s the beauty of it. In this episode, we chat about all the strange new weather popping up lately (mud rain and corn sweat), dive into the fun and fascinating sides of ADHD and autism, and somehow end up talking about bees, wasps, and who really runs the backyard.

No plan. No filter. Just good vibes and the kind of conversations that happen when you're sitting on a porch with nowhere to be.

Have you ever experienced déjà vu so intense it felt like you'd already lived that exact moment? Or wondered what would have happened if one decision had completely changed your life? This week, we're exploring the fascinating idea of timeline jumping, the belief that parallel realities exist and that our lives may shift between them in ways we don't fully understand.

We share our own experiences with strange synchronicities, eerie moments of déjà vu, and the feeling that life suddenly took an unexpected turn. Are these experiences simply tricks of the brain, evidence of parallel universes, or something even stranger?

Whether you're a firm believer, a curious skeptic, or just love exploring life's biggest mysteries, join us as we dive into one of the internet's most fascinating theories and ask... can you really jump timelines?

Dinosaurs disappeared millions of years ago, yet they're still one of history's greatest mysteries. This week, we're digging into the fascinating world of dinosaurs to explore what scientists know, what they're still debating, and the questions that may never be answered.

Could dinosaurs have looked completely different than we imagine? What did they actually sound like? And what really caused their extinction? From asteroid impacts and massive volcanic eruptions to surprising dinosaur facts, we're exploring the science, theories, and mysteries surrounding these prehistoric giants.

Whether you're a lifelong dinosaur fan or just enjoy asking life's biggest "what if" questions, this episode is packed with fascinating discoveries, unanswered mysteries, and, of course, a few of our usual detours along the way.

Why are millions of people fascinated by true crime? This week, we're taking a step back from individual cases to explore the psychology behind our obsession with the darker side of humanity. From what first drew Ash into true crime to why Lynn has never quite understood the fascination, we're having an honest conversation about one of the world's most popular genres.

Along the way, we discuss why people commit violent crimes, the psychology of criminal behavior, the media's role in shaping public attention, the phenomenon known as Missing White Woman Syndrome, and how social media has transformed ordinary people into internet detectives overnight.

Whether you're a lifelong true crime fan or you've always wondered why so many people can't stop listening, this episode takes a thoughtful look at the stories behind the stories... and what they say about us.

In this episode, we dive into the history of St. Patrick’s Day, who St. Patrick really was, why we celebrate with shamrocks and parades, and how the holiday has evolved over the centuries. From its religious origins to the green beer-fueled celebrations of today, we break down the myths and traditions that make March 17th so iconic.

And, as always, we couldn’t help but go off on a few tangents. Stick around for the end, where we ramble about everything from winter, our thoughts on all holidays and spring finally arriving! It’s a little history, a little nonsense, and a whole lot of fun!
