The Moon Landing Hoax?
April 11, 2022 20:00 - 58 minutes - 55.3 MBThe boys return to discuss the topic they have said many times they would never discuss: The Moon Landing. What starts as a friendly discussion of the Utah Monlith and the worldwide copies quickly turns as Chad springs the topic on Alex and Ryan without any planning. I cannot stress enough - we did not plan this topic, we did no episode specific research. This discussion is akin to the kind of discussion you have with friends at a dinner party while playing cards or something. Come ...

Gabby Petito Part 2: The Worst Outcome
November 06, 2021 03:27 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBThis week, we go back into the death of Gabby Petito. Unfortunately, this sad story ended in the worst possible way. We got back together to discuss what happened to Brian Laundrie as well as some theories that are out there that are likely not very credible but they’re out there so we wanted to bring them to you. This is a sad story and one that we felt we had to cover but these stories are hard to discuss. We’ll be back with some (hopefully) happier discussions next week. thatsstrang...

The Family International aka The Children of God
August 19, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBThis week, we cover the Children of God (aka The Family, The Family International, several other ridiculous names). We look into the abyss so you don't have to and this week is no exception.

Can you tell us? Click here to read more about them. However, tread lightly. This isn't light Sunday readi...

July 08, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 81.4 MBThis week, we discuss Dahmer. This has been a topic we've wanted to cover for a while but it's a dark one.
