    For gods sake if you are going to pound the table 1,000 times an episode get shockmounts for your microphones so it doesn’t blow our eardrums out. Ridiculous.

    This podcast is literally the funniest thing I’ve come across in my entire life, always the most interesting things they talk about. I have to agree that I get absolutely jumpscared when Frank screams his lungs out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#552 - Oz The Mentalist Blows Our Minds
Q: Could your skills be used by law enforcement or intelligence agencies?
I avoid claiming supernatural powers; I discuss ethics and note that while some skills can aid in understanding behavior, it's not a guarantee for solving crimes and is primarily for entertainment.
#552 - Oz The Mentalist Blows Our Minds
Q: How would you describe the difference between magic and mentalism?
Mentalism is a form of magic that seems like reading minds; it can be done with nothing, relying on psychology, misdirection, and audience interaction rather than prop-heavy tricks.
#545 - Doctor Mike's Hardest Challenge Yet!
Q: What is the most important action you should take if someone collapses and you start CPR?
Start with chest compressions—push hard, fast, and in the center of the chest, and call for professional help; rescue breaths are only used in specific drowning or prolonged cases.
#528 - We Are The S*xiest Podcasters
Q: What emotion would you erase from existence?
For personal choice, anger would be erased because it leads to stress and unwanted feelings. For the world, envy is chosen as it fosters negative behaviors like plunder and jealousy.
#516 - Are We Gooners?
Q: What could be causing the blood moon?
The blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, and it is caused by light refracting through the Earth's atmosphere.
