  • Angel's Glow & The Cosmic Bit Flip

    Is it a miracle or is it a laser beam from the sun? We're not afraid to ask the tough questions on this podcast! In this episode, Kurt tells Luis about the Civil War era legend that might've been solved with science & what a rigged election, a plane falling from the sky, and a Super Mario 64 speedrun all have in common.

  • The Great Mona Lisa Caper & The Futurist Road To Fascism

    It's a bright sunny morning in August of 1913, and Leonardo Da Vinci's masterwork, the Mona Lisa, is gone. Oh no!

    Who stole it? Why did they steal it? Where did it go? Does this look infected to you? You'll find the answers to (most of) these questions within this episode.

  • Goat Tooth Mountain & The Wildest Governor in the West

    Break out your red white and blue party hats and get ready for manifest destiny flavored cake! It's America's birthday month so we're talking about some classic weird American history! Are most of our stories already about American history? Maybe, don't think about it too hard!


    Kurt tells Luis about man with an obsession for a pointless rock, who used Looney Tunes logic to REALLY ruin it for everyone else & the politician who used Looney Tunes logic to bend the federal government to his will.


    Net zero for Looney Tunes logic in this episode, I guess.

    Also, a moment of silence for all the inventors who went SPLAT.
