This week, John begins the podcast by talking about Dilbert, shock images, and the nightmare that is the internet culture of the aughts.

It's a GOOd thing we had time in our schedule to record an emergency episode. Here's a shorter one this week because technical difficulties is our tagline at this point. Also we're talking about goo.

I hope you're ready to hear John talk about Ontology and falsifiability for half an hour this week because that's what you'll get.

We open this week to talk about being too high and why the UFO hearings were lame. For the story, Brandon has something a little different for us this week as we take a detour into alternate histories with the Newark Holy Stones. As a warning, we talk about some pretty flagrant racism in this episode as it relates to the episode topic.
