The Content Clearinghouse

It's all about space on this episode of The Content Clearinghouse. No, pairing these subjects together really wasn't planned... it's just two space nerds on the same content wavelength. First up from Josh: Trans-Neptunian objects, Pluto's fate, Nibiru and good ol' UFO disclosure wrapped up into the Covid relief bill. Then Brett dons his NASA socks to gush about sexy, nerdy Jodie Foster and hunkiest of hunks Matthew McConaughey and the tug-of-war they represent between Science and Religion. Get ready for the classic 90's movie: Contact.

We're searching for the truth about Bigfoot on this special "cycle" of The Content Clearinghouse. Is he real? According to many experts who have analyzed the famous Patterson-Gimlin film... yes. Not to be outdone, some guy in Utah claims to have caught our big, hairy friend on camera recently. Then Josh gets ready to talk beautiful people and terms I'm not familiar with like tooch, smizing and H2T. Get ready to be surprised by this television series: ANTM. Boom... boom... BOOM.

Who would have guessed that a cigarette company is responsible for one of the sneakiest and downright insidious marketing loophole schemes ever. Oh... everyone you say? Good point. Josh hits pause on contentology and dives into graphicology on this off-top you don't want to miss. Then Brett gets into another comedy TV series from HBO that's an only-slightly fictionalized version of the self-professed "fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" from New Zealand. You know who we're talking about! Bret, Jemaine, and Flight of the Conchords!

WE ALL SURVIVED 2020! Are we finally out of the woods? Not according to Nostradamus. Supposedly there are some predictions out there for things to come from a man who lived in the 1500s who has been known to make some eerily accurate (or just exceptionally vague?) poetic premonitions. Then Josh gets into some of his all time favorite content and then talks about the speed of light, like, a lot. So strap in for some hard sci-fi space battles and galactic politics with the John G. Hemry aka "Jack Campbell" book series: Lost Fleet.

Josh can't wait to compare sizes! No, not that. It's spaceships! In this episode's off-topic section, Josh discusses the incredible CAA (Content Appreciation Artwork, it's a real thing), a contribution by Dirk Loechel and shared on Deviant Art. Check it out, maybe print it out! Then Brett continues to tunnel inwards towards the existential dread that is the reality of our reality... what kind of content inspires such reflection and alarm? The kind Pixar makes of course! Get ready for more Yuval Noah Harari and the animated comedy film: Inside Out.

This episode's off-topic section is all about that #puppylife. Mando the Kooikerhondje just arrived and he is undoubtedly the best puppy in the universe. Then Josh goes underground in ANOTHER post-apocalyptic world. If there is one thing Josh loves more than talking about mutant and the end of the world... it's Russia? Get ready for the book inspired video game Metro Exodus.

Bomb's away and Seinfeld on crack! In this episode's off-topic section, Josh discusses a video he discovered on facebook (that's only on facebook) posted by Dark Facts from Dark5. Apparently spinning, bouncing bombs were engineered during WWII to bust German dams with Operation Chastise. Although the mission was not exactly a success, it was... kind of a success? Then Brett finds humor in one of the greatest cult hits on television. In fact, 'Always Sunny' is about to break the record as the longest running live-action comedy series in history with the upcoming 15th season. This cringey, taboo-tackling humor may not be for everyone... but it is for us. And maybe for you too?

In this episode's off-topic section, Brett shares a classic viral video with Josh titled "Amazing Jumping Sun Dog Crown Flash." If you have never been lucky enough to witness this rare weather phenomenon (and even if you have!) it is worth a watch. Josh then finds himself neck deep in government documents... but not the boring kind. In fact, he recently discovered a whole world of collaborative "crowd-sourced" fiction. Literally thousands of entries for... "objects" that require special containment procedures. If you haven't heard of the fictional organization The SCP Foundation (or even if you have!) this is one episode you don't want to miss. And definitely check out the links below!

In this episode's off-topic section, Josh talks about the "most dangerous race in the world," the Isle of Man TT. It is definitely worth checking out our off-top links below to watch these intense motorsport participants fly (literally at moments) around the track reaching speeds in excess of 200 mph. Brett then tries to bring some post-halloween spook into November (because he kind of missed his favorite holiday) with a horror sci-fi film set in a 2020 world that requires near ABSOLUTE SILENCE. (Shit! Did I type that too loud?)

AAAAARGH!

In this episode's off-topic section, Brett talks about what he's been doing the last two weeks and really, the last two years. (Spoiler alert: he wasn't just taking a soak in Brett-juice.) It's actually a really personal story about overcoming personal problems and a huge career mistake. Josh then leaves it up to Brett to choose the content piece. It's mystery content!
