There’s something circling us.Something that doesn’t belong.

Long before the first satellite was ever launched, stories began to surface of a dark shape drifting silently above the world—a cold and patient witness in orbit. Some said Tesla heard its whisper in his Colorado lab. Others claimed it echoed our own voices back from the void, like a ghost trying to mimic the living. Over the decades, every strange signal, every shadow on a radar, and every photo of tumbling debris became a new chapter in its myth. They called it The Black Knight Satellite—a relic of forgotten gods, or maybe something older still.

In this episode, the Sofa King Podcast turns its telescopes toward the unknown. We sift through the static and half-truths—Tesla’s phantom signals, Duncan Lunan’s alien star maps, the 1998 NASA photos that refused to stay silent—to see if there’s anything real beneath the layers of obsession and noise.

Maybe it’s just a blanket of metal and myth, caught in orbit and fueled by human imagination.Or maybe it’s been watching all along,waiting for us to finally notice.

Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we put on our tinfoil hats for a doozy of a conspiracy theory—Project Blue Beam. Blue Beam is perhaps the ultimate conspiracy theory. It has false flag events, the illuminati, natural disasters, holograms, telepathy, space aliens, NASA, and maybe even a dash of Tupac Shakur. It quite simply contains elements of every conspiracy you can think to name. Canadian journalist and conspiracy theorist Serge Monast proposed this strange theory in 1994. He lays out a four step plan that involves the destruction of all centralized religion, telepathic holograms, and the antichrist. This one is a wild ride, but spoiler alert…it may have been Gene Roddenberry all along!

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, there be dragons here! We talk about the roots, mythology, fossil record, and biblical stories that helped the term of the dragon evolve. But there can’t be dragon talk without China getting in on the act since it used to be illegal to even own a picture of a dragon if you weren’t the emperor. From the story of St. George to Thor and the world serpent, we talk about the global phenomenon of the dragon and the differences (and similarities) of the myth around the world.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the strange occurrence of sleepwalking. Though it mostly involves innocent movement in someone’s sleep, it can lead a host of more troubling symptoms such as sleep eating (we’re looking at you Brent), sleep talking, and even having sex while asleep. All with no knowledge! So, what causes sleep walking? How can you prevent it? What can you do to safeguard your house, and how did it lead to Brent almost bleeding out and dying one night? Listen, laugh, and learn.

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about one of the most important and often misunderstood living beings on the planet. That’s right, we talk about trees. At first, this seemed like a boring topic, but once the research started, our minds were blown. The big reveal was that trees have a fungal network weaved into their root systems that trees use talk to each other and share nutrients and resources. There are also things called “Mother Trees” that have a memory of good and bad times stored in their DNA, and they use this fungal network to upload this DNA into younger trees to “teach them” if a threat arises. From talking to birds when they need to eliminate bugs, to alternate alien worlds and what they would look like without lumber, we go deep on this one.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we continue our ongoing conversation about The State of Artificial Intelligence. Since GPT came out, AI has exploded into every facet of our lives, and we continue our discussion of what has happened most recently. We talk about Elon Musk’s Neuralink and how it may align with his robot the Optimus. It may be our first chance to see true human cyborgs. We talk about what happens when the entire work force gets displaced by AI and robotics and the merits and dangers of the government provided living wage. We also look at the future of music when a computer is better than your local garage band. There is a lot more and maybe even some fart jokes…AI fart jokes? You’ll have to wait and see. If you want to hear us get all high techie, this is the one for you.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at the US Navy’s Operation Highjump. Just a year after WWII, the famous explorer, Admiral Richard Byrd, launched an operation of 70 ships, 33 aircraft, and 4700 men to establish a base in Antarctica. Why? Well, ‘Merca! Also, rumors persisted that the Nazis had laid claim to some land down there and some leaders (maybe old Adolf himself) escaped to a secret base (in Nazi UFOs?). Regardless of why, Highjump became the start of legitimate research in Antarctica. It was the precursor to the strange Antarctic Treaty of 1959. But it is a continent of mystery. Did the US detonate 3 nukes there in the 1950s? Why do some think the entrance to the Hollow Earth is found here? What does the mysterious missing diary of Admiral Byrd say he found? Listen, laugh, learn.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the magical kings of Las Vegas, Siegfried and Roy. Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn were a magician and animal handler who moved from crappy cruise ships to Sinatra’s Vegas and then dominated the town for over thirty years with their insane, extravagant illusions. They were known for their magical pets, the legion of white tigers and lions that they raised, trained, lived with, and included in their magic. This duo were at times romantic partners, at times business partners, and always—somehow—friends with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Their empire came to an end, however, when a tiger named Manticore attacked Roy on stage one night. How much damage did the attack do? What did the main animal trainer say? What was their reputation in the magician community? What happened to the tiger? Listen, laugh, learn.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about one of the biggest True Crime cases of the 1990s, that of Lorena and John Bobbitt. In June of 1993, Lorena famously cut off John’s penis with a Ginsu knife, threw it in a field, and later helped the police find and reattach it. The media circus that followed was intense. Cameras were allowed in the court room and listened to Lorena and a majority of the witnesses back up her claims of domestic abuse and rape. We do our half assed best to figure out what really happened, but it ends with John starring in one of the highest grossing pornos of all time and Lorena playing herself in a documentary series by Jordan Peele. Listen, laugh, learn.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at the colorful life of Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Randy was one of the all-time greats of wrestling. His character work and wrestling promos are among the most bizarre and hysterical of all time. He had a famous love affair with his manager (and actual wife) Miss Elizabeth, and helped to make WrestleMania, perhaps more than even Hulk Hogan did. Some say he was paranoid and intense, protecting Elizabeth from rivals he didn’t have, and he fell into a 9 year feud with Hogan and an even longer one with Vince McMahon. What turned him into a global pop culture phenomenon? What tore him and Vince apart? What famous wrestler was his brother? Why do they call him one of the best in the history of the business? Listen, laugh, learn.
