We finish our discussion on Naruto. If Ben had only held out we could have just had a 3 hour conversation on Naruto non-stop. But here we are finishing the last, rather small, two arcs.

Let's face it, nothing is going to beat Hulk Hogan for Nate's Nightmare November. But this one might come close.

This week of Nate's Nightmare November, we take a break from talking about Hulk Hogan to instead talk about Donkey Kong. First we talk about some book but then we get into the real meat of things when we convene the Council of Nicaea to finally decide once and for all what is Donkey Kong and what is blasphemy and lies.

We did it! Nate has achieved maximum Hulkage brother! Ben didn't even know what hit him. He was caught so completely off guard, it was beautiful. It was my master plan. Nothing else this Nightmare November will be able to top that intro, DUDE but I will try my hardest. Enjoy another 2 hours of talking about Hulk Hogan's life INSIDE the ring BROTHER!

It's Nate's Nightmare November! We're talking about a wreslting book, again! This time we're talking about THE wrestler of the 1980s, Hulk Hogan. I can't wait. I've been so excited for this. Because it's so bad. It's just terrible. A grown man tells you a lot of lies or exaggerations, craps on his wife, then says "I wish her all the best." This is what my dog would have wanted. Don&...

A surprisingly sober and intelligent discussion of the Pennsylvania UFO-Bigfoot invasion of 1973. Stan Gordon is my new favorite UFOlogist.

We begin our series on Arthur Conan Doyle's history of spiritualism. In this episode we cover a bit of the pre-history of the movement, discussing three notable mediumistic awakenings before THE HYDESVILLE INCIDENT (that we all remember, because it changed everything forever).

Well, hey guys, you know, they can't all be winners. Sometimes you try something thinking it will be fun and it turns into more of what we in the podcasting biz call "a learning experience." And that's what Jeff the Killer: Scars of Corruption is: a learning experience.

I hope you're ready for part 2. We've got family abandonment, alien perversion, duels to the ego death, fish people, jellyfish people (they're different), and of course lots of drugs.
