Join us as we start from January 2026 and end at July 2026 and see what we have been up to as a society thus far. You dont wanna miss this high octane review of the year so far.

This Episode, I look into the very first story ever told, the Epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh ruled over 4,000 years ago in ancient Mesapotamia in the ancient city of Uruk. This great epic details his life, the detaled visions of a great flood that would destroy everything on Earth, and also the very first bromance. Only question, is this story even true? Many say yes, and there were about to show the world the evidence when something unexpected happened that ruined everything. This is truly an epic tale you dont want to miss.

This episode I dive into the double murder and suicide of former WWE superstar Chris Benoit and his family. Chris Benoit was easily one of the most popular WWE superstars in the early 2000's and was poised for super star greatness. After failing to show up for scheduled events, WWE officials decided to send police to his residence to check on him. What police found was only described as a major crime scene that involved 3 dead bodies. Chris Benoit was blamed for the murder of his wife and their 7 year old child before killing himself. What could have caused him to do such terrible acts or was it made to look like he committed the murders and there were other forces at play? Tune in and decide for yourself.
