Have you ever been to a sports game and been around when they start throwing free stuff out to the crowd? Grown adults start whooping and hollering like a feral parrot all to have the poor team interns whip a t-shirt or promotional stress ball in their general direction. People love freebies. Well at least those of us who aren't members of the shadowy cabal operating the energy industry. I bet they're the people that remain seated as if they don't absolutely NEED that free t-shirt or promotional stress balls. Cowards.
This episode we're talking about Free Energy Suppression. Maybe all this hoopla about an impending global energy shortage has been solved all along and they're keeping us common folk contented by chucking cheap tchotchke at us free of charge...

Does anyone else enjoy a good courtroom drama? We can all remember certain moments from those shows and movies where the plucky protagonist seems to be on the ropes, their case is falling apart and it seems they're a few minutes from losing all together. Then suddenly, in a stroke of brilliance, BOOM! They think of the perfect argument that strengthens their case and catches the opponent in a lie. HOORAY!!!
Wouldn't it be cool if you could manage something like that? Even cooler if you could pull the wool over on the entire US government, invalidating it completely...
On this week's episode we're talking about Sovereign Citizens. Could it be that through a series of simple arguments, understandable by the layman, the whole of the US Constitution could be rendered invalid? Simple isn't a word I'd use to describe it...

Its a question as old as the 1989: Who started the fire? I think Billy Joel was pretty clear it wasn't him. After all, JFK was blown away so what more is there to say?
At least its all a metaphorical fire though, imagine how terrible it would be if there really was a fire that's been burning for several decades. On that note I have some troubling news...
On this week's episode we're discussing Centralia Pennsylvania. If you're a fan of obscure, oddball history this episode is for you.

Imagine you print out a fresh page, still warm from the fancy laser copier at the office. Naturally it's a work related document because you wouldn't dream of using a company resources for personal prints. These concert tickets are CRITICAL to your work performance. And then you examine the page and see that the lines of text aren't quite straight. I'd be willing to be most people would find that scenario infuriating.
Why? Humans love straight lines.
And you know what has a lot straight lines? Cubes.
You know what has a lot of not straight lines of logic? The Time Cube.
On this weeks episode we're talking about the Time Cube, a totally rational explanation of how time works. As it turns out you might have about 3x-4x the amount of time you thought you had!

What do the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson have in common besides great hair? Each of them have more than 165 MILLION certified sales worldwide. Can you imagine that many people choosing to spend money to listen to you? I certainly can't and I make a widely available podcast...
It's really too bad that John, George and Michael aren't around anymore. At least we still have Elvis. LONG LIVE THE KING!!!
This episode we're talking about Elvis Presley, your grandma's favorite gyrating, gospel singer. Before you start considering why grandma liked the gyrating so much hit play on the episode. HURRY!!!

John. A powerful name. Think of all the things Johns have given us. From exploitation of Native Americans to the most famous pop-rock band to time travel to an acting performance of the ages in Being John Malkovich. I think we can all agree John Malkovich's contribution is the greatest on that list. I suppose you could make the case for time travel being more significant. I think the existence of time travel and John Malkovich are about as likely though.
On this episode we're discussing John Titor, a self proclaimed time traveller from a different timeline of reality. Who'd have thought John Lennon's claim he'd be more famous than Jesus wouldn't be the most ridiculous John-ism on the list...

Planning. Some of us love it, some of us hate it and yet others of us seem completely incapable of it. I think deep down no one really wants to plan. But it's just so much easier to paint my miniature gnome figurines when I figure out the colors I need before going to the craft store. Do we really want the UN planning though? Sure, they're a global organization trying to reign in sovereign governments but I'd feel more comfortable if they'd just wing it. Imagine how many gnomes they'd get painted!
This episode we're talking about Agenda 21, the non-binding agreement drawn up by the UN that just might doom the entire world. Though I think most would agree the world is doing pretty well at dooming itself without following Agenda 21. *sigh*

Did your parents ever tell you drinking milk would give you strong bones? Or that eating your carrots would give you good eyesight? It feels like authority figures are always telling us what's a good idea to put in our bodies. WHO NEEDS THEM!!! Based off my complete lack of training in medicine and nutrition I'm recommending a diet of Cheetos, pickled ginger and water left behind in puddles after intense rain. That'll show those eggheads where they can shove their fluoride!
This episode we're exploring the strangely divisive mineral fluoride. I can tell you some people sure do hate it but explaining why is.......a bit more complicated.

Hats are neat. Where would a high-class Kentucky woman be on derby day with out her hat? How many fly ball would outfielders have missed without their trusty baseball caps blocking the sun? How would we have opened a gateway to other dimensions if not for Ong's Hat? I reiterate, hats are neat.
On this episode we're talking about Ong's Hat, one of the early Internet's oddest legends. Who'd have though all you need to travel to other dimensions are a couple of Ivy League dropouts, a dash of eastern spiritualism and an egg? I'd have guessed you'd need at least an alien or two.
