On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil kick off 2026 with curiosity, confusion, and a healthy dose of skepticism. They break down the baffling results of their YouTube Shorts experiments—following all the “expert” advice, posting consistently, and still seeing surprisingly low views. Is it worth chasing the algorithm, or is it better to just enjoy creating content and talking things out?

The conversation then takes a sharp (and entertaining) turn into the Farmers’ Almanac, as they flip through predictions on moon-sign planting, fishing calendars, frost dates, and long-range weather forecasts. Peter and Cecil make a plan to track the Almanac’s accuracy throughout the year and see how well these old-school predictions actually hold up.

It’s a laid-back, thoughtful start to the new year—about making content, questioning systems that “don’t sound right,” and staying curious no matter what the numbers say.

It’s a fast-moving, laugh-filled year-end wrap-up that celebrates the community around the show, reflects on the weirdest conversations of the season, and teases what’s coming in Season Six.

In this annual Christmas episode of That Don’t Sound Right, hosts Peter and Cecil take a curious and thoughtful look at the Christmas story—and the parts that, at first glance, just don’t sound right.

From centuries-old prophecies foretelling Jesus’ birth to the surprising fulfillment of promises through a humble baby, the hosts explore key Old Testament references including the Davidic lineage, Isaiah’s prophecy of a virgin birth and “Emmanuel,” the powerful titles of Isaiah 9, and the foreshadowing found in Psalm 69. They also discuss the statistical improbability of Jesus fulfilling 48 messianic prophecies, as highlighted in Lee Strobel’s work.

The conversation kicks off with a lighthearted Wheel Horse anecdote before settling into the show’s signature blend of humor, curiosity, and reflection—shared openly from a believer’s perspective. As always, this special Christmas episode is short, conversational, and designed to invite listeners into the discussion, whether they’re longtime believers, skeptics, or simply curious about the story behind the season.

Where does table salt actually come from — the ocean, ancient seas, underground rock deposits, or the great flood?

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil tumble headfirst into a surprisingly heated debate about salt’s true origin. What starts as a simple question turns into a full-blown culinary science mystery, sparked by a revisit to their infamous pickle episode (yes, including Mt. Olive Pickle Company’s emoji reply) and a distant memory that Alton Brown that all salt ultimately comes from the sea.

The hosts kick around ideas about Himalayan pink salt, mined rock salt, evaporated seawater, and deep-earth deposits, while sharing real questions they’ve fired off to geologists and scientists in search of answers. Spoiler alert: no tidy conclusion here. Just curiosity, skepticism, and an open invitation for listeners to weigh in with their own theories.

If you like food science debates, unresolved arguments, and conversations that feel like they wandered off course but somehow got more interesting — this one absolutely don’t sound right.

In this curiosity-charged episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil sit down with Chris—an electrical engineer and friend of the show—to unpack the buzz around grounding sheets, grounding blankets, and the claim that reconnecting your body to the earth can improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and discharge built-up static.

From wearables that glitch when you least expect it to childhood games of shock-and-zap, the trio explores why some people swear by going barefoot and whether modern insulated shoes are part of the problem. Chris breaks down the real electrical principles behind grounding, what might be happening when these products work, and why house grounding quality and skin contact matter more than most people realize.

The hosts weigh personal anecdotes vs. scientific uncertainty, offer simple experiments for curious listeners, and keep the conversation fun, light, and practical. If you’ve ever wondered whether grounding products are genius, gimmick, or somewhere in between, this episode gives you plenty to think about—plus an open invitation to join the discussion.
