The Illuminati Social Club

This week, we discuss The Shroud of Turin, which was supposedly the burial shroud of Jesus. We have an angry priest yelling about the authenticity of the shroud (it's never been verified) and artist who explains beautifully how the shroud could have been created.

There have been a lot of civilizations in the world as In Search Of... will always tell us. Many of them have also completely disappeared including the colony of Roanoke. Much like the lost vikings, the time frame is compressed and it's almost like they disappeared overnight. We also get the best, folksy term, "Began to live friendly with..."

This week, we are here and discussing immortal...sharks? Is that a thing? No, it isn't. But marine biology was not very good at tracking sharks due to lack of technology and expense. Naturally, people thought that sharks were immortal. Spoiler: Leonard does not get eaten by a shark. Oliver Rockside on TwitterSteve Cloutier on TwitterIlluminati Social Club on Twitter

This week, we look at UFOs...in Australia. We have a voice of reason in this episode and we have a person who definitely does not understand Occam's Razor. We have plenty of people who seem to think that the simplest explanation is aliens. They are not, though. Oliver Rockside on TwitterSteve Cloutier on TwitterIlluminati Social Club on Twitter

Ripped from the headlines! OK, released because a movie of the same name was released a couple months earlier. The episode is a major disappointment.   Oliver Rockside on TwitterSteve Cloutier on TwitterIlluminati Social Club on Twitter

This week, we discuss Carlos the Jackal before he was the jackal. He decided that one day he was going to hold up an OPEC meeting and take hostages, as you do. We discuss a confusing statement about being a communist and capitalist at the same time. Oliver Rockside on TwitterSteve Cloutier on TwitterIlluminati Social Club on Twitter

We kick off season four with...(cue fanfare and disappointment)...A WEATHER EPISODE! Oh. We learn that tidal waves are predatory in nature and will hunt down unsuspecting people at the beach. There is a behind-the-scenes look at how a tidal wave monitoring station works. Also...idiots waiting for the wave.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Cloutier joins me to discuss why people tend to listen more to celebrities than to people who are experts in fields being discussed. We also meander off-topic as is custom on this podcast. Steve Cloutier on Twitter

Stephanie joins me for a discussion about a church in our neck of the woods called Holy Love Ministries. It is here that you can apparently see visions of the Virgin Mary and possibly even Jesus. There's good stuff about this church and not-so-good stuff and we try to maintain a neutral position. We can also say that this isn't a cult. Stephanie on Twitter
