Was there a more iconic duo in the 1990s than Fox Mulder and Dana Scully? Toby and Brandon don’t think so, and they’re talking about the X-Files, perhaps the most popular television series about UFOs and the paranormal.

This week's bonus just for subscribers: If you wonder how much of a pain in the ass it is to be a former president, look no further than the furor over an offhand comment Obama made about aliens being real. He later explained that he didn’t think those aliens had actually ever visited Earth, but maybe he’d just jumpstarted DISCLOSURE. Brandon and Toby talk about this unfortunate incident and the recent prediction market bullishness about President Trump releasing the government’s UFO files.
