Jimmy
The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear.

Ghost Hunting 101 – A Skeptic’s Journey into the Unknown
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
04/23/25 • 30 min
In this week’s episode, Jimmy takes a deep dive into the world of ghost hunting—a pursuit that exists somewhere between science, storytelling, and running around in the dark hoping something whispers your name. Armed with curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism, Jimmy unpacks the gadgets, the theories, and the quirks of paranormal investigations, from spirit boxes spitting out random syllables to night vision cameras turning every dust particle into “definitive proof.”
But this episode isn’t just about theories—it’s about a real experience. Enter John Fike, a former skeptic who went into a ghost hunt expecting to debunk everything... and walked away questioning everything. John shares his firsthand account of what happened during a late-night investigation at the Randolph County Infirmary, where eerie sounds, unexplained phenomena, and a rock thrown from the darkness turned him from a nonbeliever into someone who isn’t so sure anymore.
Is it all just psychology and physics messing with our senses? Or is there something more lurking beyond the veil? Whether you’re a full-on believer, a die-hard skeptic, or just here for the spooky stories, this episode promises to entertain, educate, and maybe even send a chill down your spine. Tune in and decide for yourself: are we alone, or are we just really good at scaring ourselves?

Why Bigfoot Loves Camping Gear
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
04/30/25 • 30 min
In this episode, Jimmy welcomes back John Fike, a podcaster and YouTuber who’s spent years immersed in the Bigfoot community, interviewing people who claim to have had encounters. But this isn’t a debate about whether Bigfoot exists—John already believes he does. Instead, we’re diving into something even bigger: the culture of Bigfoot belief.
Why do people believe? Why do some fake sightings? And how do you separate genuinely compelling encounters from outright hoaxes? More importantly, what is it about Bigfoot that keeps people hooked generation after generation—from true believers to casual fans who just love slapping Sasquatch on t-shirts and coffee mugs?
Along the way, Jimmy and John break down how Bigfoot became a massive industry, why the legend is so tied to camping, and the bizarre double standard of belief—where people can spend their weekends storm chasing, ghost hunting, or buying haunted dolls with zero judgment, but claim to see Bigfoot once and get socially exiled.
So, whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just here for the laughs, buckle up—this episode is packed with wild stories, deep cultural analysis, and enough Bigfoot talk to make you question every shadow in the woods.

April Fool’s Day
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
04/01/25 • 29 min
In this week's episode, Jimmy dives headfirst into the playful chaos of April Fool’s Day, exploring its mysterious origins, quirky traditions, and why humans just can’t resist a good prank. With his signature mix of humor and curiosity, Jimmy unpacks centuries-old theories, from calendar confusion in France to medieval mischief, while sharing his own prank successes—and hilarious failures.
Joined by Skeptical Scott, host of the hilariously irreverent Funny You Say That... podcast, the duo trades stories, dissects the art of pranking, and debates whether April Fool’s is a timeless tradition or just an annual excuse for hi-jinks. Tune in for laughs, insights, and maybe a prank idea or two!

Project Blue Beam: Apocalypse as a Service
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
05/21/25 • 30 min
What if the end of the world wasn’t fire and brimstone... but a high-tech holographic light show designed to trick the entire planet?
In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we explore Project Blue Beam, a famous conspiracy theory that claims NASA, the United Nations, and global elites are secretly planning to fake a worldwide religious event using holograms, electromagnetic mind control, and staged alien invasions all to usher in a New World Order.
We'll dive into the origins of Project Blue Beam, uncovering the story of Serge Monast, the Canadian investigative journalist who first introduced the theory. We'll talk about how Monast's work tapped into Cold War paranoia, millennial panic, and fear of technological control and why his ideas have refused to die even decades after his sudden death.
Along the way, we'll explore real historical events that mirror some of the Project Blue Beam claims including the famous Miracle of the Sun at Fátima, Portugal in 1917, where tens of thousands of witnesses reported seeing the sun spin, dance, and defy the laws of physics.
We'll also dig into how easily the human brain can be tricked through psychological expectation, mass hysteria, and viral misinformation and why you don't actually need advanced technology to create widespread belief in a fake event.
Plus, we'll ask a terrifying question:
If the world today is already primed for confusion, manipulation, and viral panic... do we even need a real Project Blue Beam to lose our grip on reality?
Whether you’re a conspiracy theory skeptic, a psychology nerd, or just curious about how belief shapes our world, this episode will give you a thought-provoking, entertaining look at one of the internet’s strangest and most enduring ideas.

Shadow People: interdimensional beings or bad lighting?
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
03/19/25 • 30 min
In this week’s episode of The Internet Explorer's Podcast, Jimmy dives headfirst into the eerie phenomenon of shadow people. Are they interdimensional travelers, misbehaving ghosts, or just your brain playing tricks on you? In this episode about the penultimate human experience, Jimmy untangles the science behind sleep paralysis, the psychology of fear, and why your brain loves to turn harmless shadows into nightmare fuel. Along the way, he explores the wildest theories from the internet, question the limits of science, and even consider the possibility of retired aliens with lazy cloaking devices.
This episode blends humor, curiosity, and a touch of spookiness as Jimmy leads the conversation through the fascinating world of unexplained phenomena. Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just someone who keeps a nightlight on, this episode will leave you thinking about how the brain shapes our perception of reality—and why it sometimes takes us on a midnight horror show. Don’t miss this shadowy adventure!

Can you build an Iron Man suit out of cardboard?
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
02/19/25 • 26 min
In this episode of The Internet Explorer's Podcast, Jimmy sets out to explore the world of cardboard creativity, inspired by the ambitious DIYers building Iron Man suits out of shipping boxes and hot glue. Joined by Dr. Mike Chapman, a social psycologist specializing in creativity and innovation, Jimmy dives into why cardboard is the unsung hero of the maker world. Together, they unpack how constraints fuel ingenuity, the difference between invention and innovation, and the psychology behind turning humble materials into extraordinary creations. With plenty of laughs, a dash of introspection, and more than a few lessons about problem-solving with style, this episode reminds us that creativity isn’t about perfection—it’s about having the courage to try.

Sun Gazing for Better Vision
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
03/05/25 • 30 min
I did something reckless. No, I didn’t stare at the sun—but I did go deep into the bizarre world of sun gazing, where people genuinely believe that frying their eyeballs is the key to unlocking hidden energy, healing their bodies, and maybe even gaining superpowers. Spoiler: It’s not.
In this episode, I break down why people believe in pseudoscience, how even smart people (including me) have fallen for it, and why bad science is sometimes just as dangerous as fake science. We’ll also play a fun little game I call “What Actually Happens When You Stare at the Sun?” (Hint: It doesn’t end well.)
If you’ve ever wondered why people believe in obviously bad ideas, how pseudoscience hijacks logic, and what makes something real science vs. garbage in a lab coat, this episode is for you.
And if you’re thinking about trying sun gazing? Save yourself a trip to the ophthalmologist and just listen to this instead.

Kombucha: Miracle Elixir or Hipster Hoax?
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
01/15/25 • 30 min
Join Jimmy as he takes a deep dive into the fizzy world of kombucha, uncovering bold health claims, clever marketing tactics, and the science—or lack thereof—behind this trendy drink. Featuring special guest Dr. Claire Harper, an enthusiastic expert who breaks down myths, explains the microbiome, and teaches Jimmy (and listeners) how to separate fact from fiction. Together, they explore whether kombucha is the detox hero we’ve been led to believe or just overpriced soda in a fancy bottle. Equal parts humor and education, this episode is a sparkling look at skepticism and gut health.

Homemade Invisibility Cloaks
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
01/29/25 • 22 min
Jimmy takes on the fascinating world of invisibility cloaks, diving into the science behind light refraction, natural camouflage, and the tech that’s inching us closer to real cloaking devices. With special guest Mark Bennett—a leading expert in optical camouflage and a self-proclaimed wizard of light manipulation—they explore why full-body invisibility remains elusive, how nature perfected the art, and what practical cloaking solutions we might see in the near future. Along the way, Jimmy pitches his ideas for everyday cloaking tech (mostly to dodge Carol from HR) and learns that even his boldest dreams might have a photon of truth. Packed with humor, science, and plenty of surprises, this episode will leave you wondering: what would you use a cloaking device for?

Alternate Cut: Home Alone
The Internet Explorer's Podcast
05/14/25 • 60 min
This week on The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy does something a little different—he hands over the reins to his good buddy, Cliff Hanger, who takes us on a wild ride through the world of Alternate Cut, where classic films get reimagined in entirely new genres.
Cliff’s pick? None other than Home Alone—but this isn’t the holiday hijinks you remember. Instead, Cliff transforms it into a psychological thriller, stripping away the slapstick and replacing it with paranoia, survival horror, and an unsettling descent into Kevin McCallister’s fractured psyche.
In this reimagined Home Alone, Kevin isn’t just a mischievous kid—he’s a child abandoned by a family that may have had darker motives. As a the world decends into chaos, Kevin realizes the two intruders outside his house are a threat to his survival. But Kevin is no ordinary eight-year-old. Using his intelligence, fear, and a growing sense of desperation, he constructs a series of increasingly violent traps, blurring the line between self-defense and something far more chilling.
Did Kevin accidentally get left behind, or was he meant to be alone all along? And when the night is over, who will really be the victim?
Jimmy chimes in at the end of the episode, joking that he'll “be back to normal next week,” but either way, you’ll never watch Home Alone the same way again.
