About this episode

John J Murray and guest Jean Bygene discuss life in the dumbest timeline, covering various topics including comedy, literature, and bizarre news.

Host John J Murray is joined by Jean Bygene for a wide-ranging episode about life in what can only be described as the dumbest timeline . We get into some real wins as John J celebrates his short story “The Barrel” being accepted into a literary journal, proving that occasionally, things do go right. We also talk about the upcoming 3 Ugly Mugs appearance at History as a Joke at the Tampa Bay History Center on April 16 at 7pm , where they’ll somehow explain the history of hockey. From there, it’s Easter talk , stand-up comedy, and the usual existential confusion. In Weird News , we cover the bizarre and unsettling story of a stand-up comedian whose final wish involves going on a rampage, because apparently even last wishes aren’t normal anymore. In Massive Media , we dive into Robert Kirkman’s shows based on his comics , breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and why his universe keeps expanding. Smart, absurd, and slightly unhinged—just another episode of Something Planet. Subscribe on YouTube and follow on Spotify for new episodes every week.
