The Jeff & The Jer recorded a full episode with Lee Townsend on Wednesday. The first half dealt with the recent allegations that Phil Imbrogno forged his education credentials. Anything we had to say was purely speculative because Phil's public response has been to leave the paranormal field and go silent. That's publicly. But a funny thing happened on the way to Thursday: Phil personally emailed Jeremy his side of the story out of the blue and so the first half of the show had to be scrapped as irrelevant in light of new information--information Jer still cannot really share with the audience, but can talk around.

And that's only the beginning of the problems they faced with this week's episode. In fact, the way they ended with Lee was bizarre and the way Jeff & Jer ended their afterchat on Thursday was impossibly weird. Is there a ghost in the machine? Imbroglios indeed!

Thankfully, what was salvaged and cobbled together is seamless enough and full of the Paratopia mind food we all crave. (originally aired 07.07.2011)
