So, There Was...

Can you tell fact from fiction? You see, between the three of us (Ivan, Davis, and Bum) only one of our stories is fake. So can you figure out which one it is? Because we can't most of the time. New, half-hour episodes every other Thursday...hopefully.

Episode 26 | The Black Knight Satellite, KFC Earrings, And Florida Man Strikes Again

I know, I know, we're late. Again. For the third time. But hey, at least we're in time for our two year anniversary of doing this podcast!Talking Points: Two year anniversary?!, Tesla's discovery, finger-licking good jewelry, and "Look at this photograph."

Episode 20 | Predicting The Future, Spiked Noodles, And Thicc Bees

Episode 19 | British UFOs, Klingons, And War Clouds
