This month, Cat, Dwayne, and Koji tackle a heavy-hitting question that’s been sizzling all over the internet: Does Bill Gates want to destroy the cattle industry?To help us slice through the meat of this massive tech-agriculture conspiracy, we welcome international stand-up comedian and former comedy-wrestler Eric Escobar (Hulu’s Comedy InvAsian, CBS’s Comics Unleashed). Together, the crew dissects Bill Gates’ massive 270,000-acre American farmland monopoly and his public push for 100% synthetic beef. Is he trying to save the planet from bovine methane emissions, or is he hoarding land to create a vertical monopoly that will relegate real steak to a 1% black market luxury item?Plus, we break down the May 8, 2026 UFO Disclosure and the government's brand new public database at war.gov/ufo. We wrap things up with a high-stakes round of "Yay or Nay" featuring 5 outrageous food conspiracies involving insect fragments in your smoothies, fake honey, and the terrifying truth behind natural vanilla flavoring.About the Guest:Eric Escobar is a premier international stand-up comedian performing at clubs, colleges, and theaters across the globe.

| 5/15/25 |  S5E2 Stargates with Comdian Jonesy | Dive into the hilariously outlandish world of science fiction and conspiracy theories with this side-splitting podcast episode that takes you on a joyride through the universe's quirkiest secrets. We kick off with a debate about the critical importance of lightsaber colors in Star Wars—because everyone knows picking the wrong color could turn your Jedi feng shui into a cosmic disaster. This whimsical discussion opens the floodgates to a galaxy of fandoms, sprinkled with enough absurdity to make even a Wookiee snort with laughter.Dwayne Perkins, Koji Steven Sakai, and guest host Jonesy take listeners on a comedic journey through ancient myths and wildly speculative theories about Stargates, suggesting that your GPS might just be influenced by some interstellar jokester. They even tackle the mysteries of the Antikythera device with a raised eyebrow, hypothesizing about lost technologies and time-altering gadgets that would make Doc Brown's DeLorean look like a rusty old tricycle. In a playful twist, the episode throws in some contemporary political figures, hilariously speculating on the influence of 'alien' entities—because let's face it, who wouldn't want to blame their latest political blunder on E.T.? Packed with laughter, curiosity, and storytelling as imaginative as a three-headed space llama, this episode is your one-way ticket to a galaxy far, far away where humor and human imagination reign supreme.

| 11/21/24 |  S4E8 Was Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival a Blood Sacrifice | In this laugh-out-loud podcast episode, listeners are whisked away on a whimsical adventure through the vibrant world of music festivals and society's most amusing misunderstandings. From the legendary mud-filled Woodstock escapades to the gloriously chaotic disaster known as the Fyre Festival, the hosts hilariously dissect the cultural significance and share side-splitting tales tied to these infamous events. They dive into the peculiar customs of the Chung Chow Bun Festival in Hong Kong, where people apparently compete to see who can pile up the most buns—because who wouldn't want to be crowned the Bun King? They also explore the absurdity of celebrity conspiracy theories, poking fun at the idea that Travis Scott and Taylor Swift might actually be lizard people from outer space. The episode doesn't shy away from poking fun at the excessive use of satanic imagery in music, examining its shock factor and unraveling society's bizarre misconceptions about Satanism. Spoiler alert: The Satanic Temple is actually more about kindness and less about, well, goat sacrifices. Through a blend of humor, music history, and mind-bending discussions, this episode offers a light-hearted yet hilariously insightful look at pop culture and the quirkiest nooks of societal beliefs.Please note that Dwayne Perkins wasn’t able to join us and we asked guest Jonesy to fill in for the month.ABOUT OUR GUEST HOST Jonesy is a standup comedian and actor and has been on Gotham and Drunk History.

| 9/19/24 |  S4E6 - Did aliens visit Zimbabwe to tell children the world was ending with David Kau | In this episode, we dive into the captivating world of alien encounters through the unique lens of South African culture, guided by the insightful and entertaining comedian David Kau. A celebrated stand-up comic and filmmaker, David shares his experiences growing up in South Africa, exploring the nuanced distinctions between being "colored" and "mixed," and how these identities shape cultural narratives around extraterrestrial phenomena. We revisit the extraordinary 1994 UFO sighting at Ariel School in Zimbabwe, where 60 children claimed to have witnessed an alien landing, sparking discussions on why aliens might target young, impressionable minds in resource-rich Africa. The episode is rich with personal anecdotes, from childhood musings about aliens to the impact of cultural beliefs on the plausibility of such encounters. Join us as we also speculate on the messages aliens might have for future leaders, the role of influential South Africans like Elon Musk, and delve into broader socio-political contexts, all while enjoying the humor and wit that David brings to the table.Apologize for the not so great sound quality.
