Hi! We're catching up about the past 5 months and discussing David Grusch's UAP claims.

We've got a bunch of topics today and we kinda get to all of them. Miley Cyrus saw a flying snowplow, Jeremy Corbell started a podcast, somebody's cutting off the internet, Ruby Tuesdays are popping up outta nowhere, there's a mysterious celebrity on some curtains, and Ryan's buying more websites.

We hosted a little live hang out with friends and listeners to discuss the balloons and objects that have been spotted (and shot down) over North America recently. We also talked about Warped Tour, Gucci's Loose Wings, and DJing middle school dances.

On August 16, 1942 a U.S. Navy blimp took off from Treasure Island, just outside San Francisco. Five hours later it crashed 11 miles away in Daly City, CA with no one aboard. The two men aboard the blimp were never found. We're doing a live "call-in" show on Monday, 2/13. Join us!

Spencer is using his penchant for conspiratorial thinking for good and trying to find buried treasure in St. Paul. Ryan is cold. No one is talking about blimps. We're doing a live call-in show on Monday, 2/13! Join us here!

Last year, Filippo Bernardini was arrested at New York's JFK airport and charged with wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for stealing over 1,000 unpublished and draft manuscripts from authors and publishers around the world. Strangely, it doesn't appear that Bernardini ever tried to profit from the thefts–the works were never leaked or sold, …

Sali Sheppard-Wolford really went for it with her 2006 book Valley of the Skookum: Four Years of Encounters with Bigfoot. There's bigfoot, sure, but there are also UFOs, government conspiracies, poltergeist activity, time travel, astral travel, men in black, psychic warfare, flying tombstones, and phantom trains. This book has it all! Ryan's new re…

Last January, we recorded an episode about a weird movie called Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey. We took it down after about a week because we decided to do a bigger project about it. That project turned into a podcast called Finding Quantum Quest. Now, more than a year later, we look back at that original episode to see what we got right, w…

Some people just gotta dig! Seymour Cray dug tunnels so the elves could finish his coding. William Lyttle said of his tunneling "there is great beauty in inventing things that serve no purpose".

The 1970s were wild! These days you either get gray aliens, a lizard creature, or maybe a tall nordic type. But back then there were little guys with jetpacks, disembodied pants, 11-foot tall sheets with buttons on their faces, and all kinds of wild stuff. On this week's episode, we're taking a look at some 1970s humanoid encounters as documented i…
