What was your favorite subject in school? I'd have leaned towards science back then, but the older I get the more interesting I find history. I think I'm well on my way towards the dad status of reading about the history of WW2 tanks on vacation. A fascinating period of history is ancient Rome. How could such a sophisticated culture decline and give us the Middle Ages?
Easy. Rome wasn't real.
This episode we're talking about how Rome isn't real. Who better to teach us about history than a millennial mom who may or may not have a college degree?
26 episodes marks nearly a year of bi-weekly episodes. Thank you to all our rabid sheeple for succumbing to our mind control!

Do you remember 2012? As it turns out, a lot of things happened that year. Barack Obama was elected to a 2nd term as President, Hurricane Sandy ripped the east coast a new one, Queen Elizabeth II celebrated 60 years on the thrown and the first Marvel Avengers movie came out. Ah how I long for the days where the most radical candidate that ran for president was Rand Paul.
Do you remember what didn't happen in 2012? The secret 12th planet returning on it's 3600 year orbit and crashing into Earth.
On this episode we're discussing the mysterious Planet X. The next 3600 years can't go by soon enough, am I right?

Do you like doughnuts? I like doughnuts. They're a sweet, deep fried hunk of enriched bread that occasionally includes sprinkles. How can you say no to that? They're also such a unique shape. If you listen to math nerds it's called a torus. And if you listen to certain individuals on the internet tori are the key to unlocking the unlimited well of energy upon which the universe is built. Bet you'll never pass up a Krispy Kreme again.
The episode we're talking about the Thrive Movement! I can think of no one more qualified to speak on archeology, the global banking system and the energy industry than the great, great grandson of the co-founder of a consumer products conglomerate.

Is there any state in the Union convinced of it's own importance quite as much as Texas? I'd argue no where else in the US, potentially the world, that has as much regional pride. And there's admittedly a lot to like. The BBQ, the hats, the boots, the accents. I feel like even the most stuck-up, metropolitan city-slicker has to appreciate the occasional smoked brisket or Texan drawl. Not to mention what might be the most stereotypical example of US football teams: The Dallas Cowboys. And how cool is it that Dallas is going to be the second coming of both JFK and JFK Jr.? Pretty neat y'all.
This episode we're discussing JFK Jr. and his apparent reemergence in Dallas. Spoiler alert, the ending is a bit anticlimactic in the same way as a defensive Super Bowl. Nothing really happens.

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!!!
