Ep.20 One Stop too Soon, Monorail Boy

Yes, we are the problem. You can fact check us on that, because sometimes Alex genuinely can’t remember whether a story happened in real life or in a Simpsons episode. This week’s episode is chock‑full of scams, butt lifts, condom taxes, and a few questionable conversations about AI.  But the real story? Seattle’s beloved Monorail. It arrived as a gleaming promise of the future but ended as one of the city’s most spectacular transit scams.   Want to connect?

Ep.19 The Bandit Who Wouldn’t Give Up

Thanks for holding tight, listeners! After a week off, we’re back and immediately causing emotional damage by discussing the tragic, and frankly preventable death of Charlotte the Groundhog. But the main event this week is the Bandit Who Wouldn’t Give Up: Elmer McCurdy. His life was chaotic enough, but the real story begins after he dies. Because Elmer didn’t just leave a legacy… he left a corpse that went on a decades‑long tour of carnivals, sideshows, movie sets, and haunted attractions. This is the strangest post‑mortem career in American history. Want to connect?

Ep.18 Aliens Love Mexico

This week Harlie surprises Alex with not one but two hot Alien destinations in Mexico. Why are they here? Are they here to protect us, dig for sparkly minerals, or maybe they just needed a beach day? Whatever it may be, these towns fully embrace their out--of-towners, or should I say their out-of-planeters.
