OMFG Scat - S04E03 Tower of Technobabble
01/21/14 • 86 min
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.
Show Notes:
Discussion pit:
The worst dating profile ever still manages to hook a few:

Science Update:
Your dog knows his north from south - do you?
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):

The Big Reveal - S04E02 Tower of Technobabble
This week, on the tower of technobabble, We discuss just how funky a bot can be, go into some time travel conundrums, and then revisit the Dyatlov Pass incident and its surprising revelations. Then, we end up revisiting how Homeless Hank, the Bigfoot corpse, might have gotten a new lease on life. Or maybe its just another scam in a long line of scams. Probably that.

Obliged to Mobilize- S04E04 Tower of Technobabble
We add a new member of the tower crew to spice things up, talk about how and why aliens might walk among us, how a toilet of infamy found it’s way to New Jersey, and then try to teach us something about World War I, which isn’t hard, considering we know nothing about WWI. Open up your mind holes and prepare to be enlightened.
Show Notes:
Aliens in Vegas!
Nazis in the News!
Iran says US run by space nazis
Hitler’s toilet found in New Jersey
Historical Perspective
Rich fills us in on World War I, which was, apparently, important in shaping the modern world, although not important enough to, y’know, teach in school.
