    Sometimes we wonder about life beyond our Earth. Sometimes we consider what kind of organisms may exist outside of our understanding. Sometimes, or rarely, we entertain an idea where perhaps aliens have been here all along... This episode we talk about aliens from space and where they may be hiding. And WHY did they NOT return MY CALLS?

  • Rough Rider, Rougher Beliefs
    2025/05/26
    We once again have a question that will guide everyone on the true path of being haters! Oh, Teddy Roosevelt, the guy who teddy bears are named for, the one who instituted state parks... also was a completely horrible person! Woah! Roll up your sleeves because we get into it this week with some eugenics and genocide. Sounds like someone else we know, eh?

  • Colorful Controversy
    2025/05/12
    As we all know, color matters. And color can inspire a lot of controversy. Like, for example, certain pinks? They have baggage. Baggage that could be very expensive, very fast. M manages to keep it to a single parter this time (woah!) and we get to discuss a sampling of colors that sparked a bit of problems.
