End Song: "Squandered" by Salvage
00:00:00 – Cold Open, Social Media “Raw Sewage,” and the Kimmel
Setup
The guys kick off with snack banter and a barking “producer dog,”
then vent about the internet’s sewage firehose and culture-war
escalation—teasing the night’s first big story: ABC suspending
Jimmy Kimmel after his Charlie Kirk bit.
00:10:00 – Kimmel vs. Disney: The Contract Chess
Match
They read coverage framing Bob Iger and Disney caught between D.C.
pressure and Hollywood outrage, play Kimmel’s clip about Kirk, and
argue Disney may just be hunting a morals-clause exit more than
defending speech.
00:20:00 – “Free Speech” or Just
Business?
A sharper take on free-speech claims: the FCC can’t outlaw Kimmel;
platforms and affiliates can still walk. They contrast today’s
outrage with past deplatformings (e.g., Alex Jones) and point out
the inconsistency of everyone’s “principles.”
00:30:00 – The Australia Mix-Up & Ratings
Reality
They laugh over hundreds of Kimmel complaints misdirected to
Australia’s ABC, then note ratings and affiliate ad pressure may
matter more than politics. Protest optics aside, reruns could
probably match his numbers.
00:40:00 – Burchett, SKIFs, and “Deep-Water
Entities”
Pivot to UFOs/USOs: Rep. Tim Burchett’s chatter about craft
emerging from deep water; SKIF whispers around David Grusch;
frustration that hearings recycle stories without subpoenaing the
real gatekeepers.
00:50:00 – Invisible Residents: Classic USO
Cases
A tour through Ivan T. Sanderson’s 1970 book: cigar-shaped
blue-white craft pacing a ship, diving beneath the hull, and
WWII-era objects surfacing then shooting skyward—suggesting
surveillance patrols and ocean “bases.”
01:00:00 – Viral “Meteor Slime”
Debunk
That TikTok “living meteorite” from Panama? Great practical
effects, not aliens. They cite polymer/hexane demo videos showing
the exact wriggle behavior; fun Halloween content, just not
real.
01:10:00 – The Hat Man: Sleep Paralysis or Shadow
Entity?
Deep dive into the Hat Man meme: neuroscientists say it’s
culture-shaped sleep paralysis; the show entertains that plus the
paranormal angle (shadow people, MIB parallels). Listeners share
eerily similar accounts.
01:20:00 – Call-Ins: Ouija, Weird Sleep, Witching
Hour
Callers recount Ouija board weirdness and a rash of 1–3 a.m.
wake-ups. The crew swaps remedies and wonders—half-joking—if
celestial strangeness is messing with everyone’s sleep.
01:30:00 – Jezebel’s “We Hired Witches” Piece Gets
Pulled
They review the Jezebel article boasting an Etsy curse on Charlie
Kirk (later edited/removed post-assassination), debate ethics of
“satire” about hexes, and note a new doc where a guy seeks to be
cursed to test effects.
01:40:00 – Are Whales Trying to Talk to
Us?
From crop circles to “bubble circles”: humpbacks blowing rings
around swimmers/boats as possible communication; shoutouts to
bioacoustic playback experiments and Star Trek IV’s “talk to the
whales” lesson.
01:50:00 – Akron Lawn-Mower Caper & Dumb-Crime
Detour
Ohio man allegedly flips school-district mowers on Facebook
Marketplace—embezzlement or just brazen stupidity? They roast the
scheme (and marketing tactics).
02:00:00 – Flying Cars Crash, Duct-Taped Commuter &
Sign-Off
Chinese VTOL “flying cars” collide during an airshow rehearsal; the
crew imagines an Amazon drone commuter basket and jokes about a
duct-taped rider sipping a Slurpee. Closing plugs and “watch the
skies…and drones.”
