  • Grow a spine, please.

    I really love this podcast but cannot stand the nervous giggling. “Probably very giggly” is not a good interview technique. Other than the constant, interrupting and nervous giggling that makes no sense, the content is interesting and well informed. I just can’t stand how the giggling puts everyone on edge and takes away from the what they are trying to share.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Fermi Paradox with Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick
Q: Should we try to find alien civilizations and contact them?
Past me would have said, absolutely, let's do it. But when I read more about the Fermi Paradox, I became hesitant.
The Haunted (?) Blennerhassett Island with Tyson Kemp
Q: Did you feel like in the interactions that you had with the other groups, that they were looking at things with a critical eye or doing debunking, stuff like that?
I think I was the only person there that went in with a skeptical mindset.
The Haunted (?) Blennerhassett Island with Tyson Kemp
Q: Did you hear anything, see anything else weird, get anything in pictures that was weird?
I took many pictures and recorded my livestream, but found nothing unusual. I did have a strange encounter with bright red eyes in the darkness that turned out to be reflectors on a trailer.
The Haunted (?) Blennerhassett Island with Tyson Kemp
Q: What was provided to you guys in terms of equipment that you could use?
The company provided EMF readers, spirit boxes, rem pods, dowsing rods, and pendulums, but we had to bring our own tents, food, and water.
