Tower of Technobabble

We share some big news about an upcoming event, and then look at secret space fleets, Russia’s next annexation target, the search for buried treasure that no one wanted in the first place, and lies told by insane rednecks to achingly cute little girls.

Bigfoot Roundup

Rick Dyer admits he lied and faked a body and cheated people ... again

...even though he was on international news in January saying it was 100% real

BTW, here’s the petition to have him charged with fraud, if you’re bored this weekend...

When Towerbot ain't happy, ain't nobody happy....

Daggor joins us as we learn some surprising things about Kentucky Slim, and then we take a personality test and see how we stack up against fictional characters. Spoiler alert: There’s not a Kirk in the bunch of us. We then go into why dogs are like railguns when doing their business, and why the Conduit is breaking up with bigfoot shows. Warning for the squeamish - there’s a lot of poop in those last two stories.

Bigfoot Roundup

Dave has absolutely had it with bigfoot shows (Hey, kids! It’s rant time!)

Here’s a pretty good take on it (“The show’s format is part competition, part investigation and entirely stupid.”)

If you simply must have the actual link, and watch full episodes, knock yourself out (preferably before watching the show):

We try to teach The Repeater the true meaning of Christmas, but alcohol and a menacing robot get in the way. You know, same as every year.

The Fourth of July fell on podcast night, but never fear! We're here to kick some knowledge, American History style. Also, fireworks safety.
