Description
The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear.

Send us a text In 1892, in the sleepy town of Exeter, Rhode Island, a teenage girl named Mercy Brown died of tuberculosis. Two months later, her body was pulled from its crypt, her heart cut out and burned, and the ashes fed to her dying brother as a medical treatment. Why? Because the townspeople believed she was a vampire. In this episode, we dig deep into one of the strangest, most tragically hilarious moments in American medical history: the Mercy Brown vampire panic. It’s a true story of...
Send us a text What do a priest, an atheist, and a mushroom have in common? No, this isn’t a bar joke, it’s the setup for this week’s episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, where we dig into the strange, trippy overlap between spirituality, psychedelics, and brain chemistry. In clinical labs and quiet chapels, professional religious leaders are now taking psilocybin, the compound in magic mushrooms, as part of scientific studies. And the results are... mixed. Compare that to hardco...
Send us a text In October 2017, a mysterious object flew into our solar system, flipped us the cosmic bird, and sped off into the stars without so much as a “Thanks for the gravity assist.” Scientists named it ʻOumuamua, which is Hawaiian for “scout,” though “WTF Is That” would’ve also worked. It tumbled strangely, didn’t outgas like a comet, and for a hot minute, Harvard’s top alien-hunter suggested it might be an interstellar lightsail. After that, as expected, the sci-fi nerds and conspira...
Send us a text In this episode, I dig into the long, strange lore surrounding America’s most suspicious airport. Denver International has been accused of being a New World Order headquarters, a Nazi occult project, a FEMA death camp, an alien transit hub, and possibly the world’s most elaborate art prank. And through it all, the airport’s official response has been to lean in. To joke about it. To build a marketing campaign that says, “What are we hiding?” and install a talking gargoyle that ...
Send us a text In this episode, I rewind to the birth of one of the strangest, most prescient characters to ever appear on television, Max Headroom. Originally conceived as a satirical jab at media culture in the 1980s, Max quickly became something more: a glitchy, rubber-faced oracle who accidentally predicted the world we live in today. In this smart and cutting deep dive, I'll guide you through Max’s origin story, his bizarre and iconic visual design, his surprising jump from British cyber...
Send us a text This episode starts with a courtroom, a traffic stop, and a guy insisting that he’s "traveling" not "driving" because his vehicle is a private conveyance and the law doesn’t apply to him. That moment, that bizarre blend of internet confidence and legal gibberish, is what launched this entire podcast. Not because I believed it but because I couldn’t stop watching. Before I explored gene editing, ancient mysteries, or MKUltra, I was completely obsessed with sovereign citizens. Th...
Send us a text What if the person you love most looked exactly the same but suddenly felt like a stranger? In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy dives into the unsettling world of Capgras Delusion, a rare but fascinating neurological disorder where people become convinced that their loved ones have been replaced by impostors. We’ll explore how the brain processes facial recognition, what happens when emotional memory and identity perception fall out of sync, and why the mi...
Send us a text In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we dive headfirst into the CIA’s most disturbing covert experiments: Project MKUltra. Specifically, we break down two of its darkest chapters --- Subproject 68, where psychiatrist Ewen Cameron used electroshock therapy, LSD, and drug-induced comas to forcibly erase and reprogram psychiatric patients, and Subproject 42, a government-funded experiment in real-world mind control where CIA agents spiked civilians' drinks in bars t...
Send us a text In 1978, college student Steven Kubacki vanished while skiing along Lake Michigan. His footprints led out onto the frozen lake… and then stopped. No broken ice. No body. No explanation. Fifteen months later, he woke up in a field 700 miles away—with no memory of where he’d been, wearing someone else’s clothes, and carrying a bag of maps and receipts. In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we dive deep into the chilling case of Kubacki’s disappearance, reappearance,...
Send us a text What if a bump on the head could completely change your voice and make the world think you're from another country? In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we explore the strange and fascinating world of Foreign Accent Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes people to suddenly speak with a foreign-sounding accent even when they've never left home. Your boy Jimmy dives into real case studies, breaks down the brain science behind speech and identity, and u...
Send us a text What if the end of the world wasn’t fire and brimstone... but a high-tech holographic light show designed to trick the entire planet? In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we explore Project Blue Beam, a famous conspiracy theory that claims NASA, the United Nations, and global elites are secretly planning to fake a worldwide religious event using holograms, electromagnetic mind control, and staged alien invasions all to usher in a New World Order. We'll dive into ...
Send us a text This week on The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy does something a little different—he hands over the reins to his good buddy, Cliff Hanger, who takes us on a wild ride through the world of Alternate Cut, where classic films get reimagined in entirely new genres. Cliff’s pick? None other than Home Alone—but this isn’t the holiday hijinks you remember. Instead, Cliff transforms it into a psychological thriller, stripping away the slapstick and replacing it with paranoia, survi...
Send us a text In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy finally delivers on his promise from the Sun Gazing episode and dives into the bizarre world of DNA activation through sound therapy. What starts as a reflection on a late-night moment of desperation quickly spirals into a hilarious breakdown of how pseudoscientific claims take root. Jimmy dissects the language used by “frequency healers,” mocking the misuse of terms like “quantum,” “vibrations,” and “DNA restructuring,”...
Send us a text In this episode, Jimmy welcomes back John Fike, a podcaster and YouTuber who’s spent years immersed in the Bigfoot community, interviewing people who claim to have had encounters. But this isn’t a debate about whether Bigfoot exists—John already believes he does. Instead, we’re diving into something even bigger: the culture of Bigfoot belief. Why do people believe? Why do some fake sightings? And how do you separate genuinely compelling encounters from outright hoaxes? More imp...
Send us a text In this week’s episode, Jimmy takes a deep dive into the world of ghost hunting—a pursuit that exists somewhere between science, storytelling, and running around in the dark hoping something whispers your name. Armed with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism, Jimmy unpacks the gadgets, the theories, and the quirks of paranormal investigations, from spirit boxes spitting out random syllables to night vision cameras turning every dust particle into “definitive proof.” But t...
Send us a text In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy takes on a question that no one needed answered but everyone has secretly wondered—could fart propulsion actually work? With equal parts curiosity and skepticism, we explore the physics of gas dynamics, the limits of human propulsion, and why science sometimes asks the weirdest questions. Along the way, we consult real experts, examine unexpected real-world applications, and uncover some truly bizarre discoveries about m...
Send us a text In this week’s episode, Jimmy takes on the unexpected connection between ancient fortifications and modern cybersecurity. With his signature mix of humor, curiosity, and overconfidence, he explores how the Great Wall of China wasn’t just a wall—it was a symbol, a system, and a psychological statement. Drawing parallels to today’s firewalls, Jimmy breaks down why layering defenses has always been the key to keeping invaders at bay, whether they’re riding on horseback or hiding b...
Send us a text In this week's episode, Jimmy dives headfirst into the playful chaos of April Fool’s Day, exploring its mysterious origins, quirky traditions, and why humans just can’t resist a good prank. With his signature mix of humor and curiosity, Jimmy unpacks centuries-old theories, from calendar confusion in France to medieval mischief, while sharing his own prank successes—and hilarious failures. Joined by Skeptical Scott, host of the hilariously irreverent Funny You Say That... podca...
Send us a text In this episode, we dive headfirst into the wild world of DIY genetic engineering, where mail-order CRISPR kits promise to put the power of DNA editing into the hands of literally anyone with an internet connection. Jimmy breaks down what CRISPR actually is (spoiler: it’s not a fancy air fryer), how scientists discovered it by stealing from bacteria, and why it’s both one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern science and a potential recipe for disaster when left in the hands ...
Send us a text In this week’s episode of The Internet Explorer's Podcast, Jimmy dives headfirst into the eerie phenomenon of shadow people. Are they interdimensional travelers, misbehaving ghosts, or just your brain playing tricks on you? In this episode about the penultimate human experience, Jimmy untangles the science behind sleep paralysis, the psychology of fear, and why your brain loves to turn harmless shadows into nightmare fuel. Along the way, he explores the wildest theories from th...
