Lesser Known People
This is a side project called "The Wi-Files". Essentially, MST3K but crazy, off-the-wall webistes instead of B-rate sci-fi. Dive into Whale.to — one of the internet’s OG conspiracy treasure troves. Jay Munnie, KY-Jelly, and Sean riff through unhinged political cartoons, explore the site's anti-vax stances, and even stumble into an unsolicited rant about circumcision.

Lesser Known People
The Lesser Known People Network proudly hosts The Wi-Files, presented by Jay Munnie. Check us out! The gang is niche now.

Buttrock
Lesser Known People
Rev up your lifted trucks and crack open a cold one because we’re diving deep into Buttrock—the most beloved (and mocked) genre of the 2000s. In this episode, we break down the legends: Creed, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, and Buckcherry. From Scott Stapp’s open arms to Chad Kroeger’s meme-worthy vocals, we embrace the power chords, questionable lyrics, and post-grunge angst that defined a generation. Is Buttrock unfairly hated, or does it slap harder than we want to admit? Tune in for crass jokes, nostalgia, and some guilty pleasure rock anthems.

Michael Malloy - Mike the Durable
Lesser Known People
Michael Malloy—also known as Mike the Durable—is the closest thing history has to a real-life Rasputin. In 1930s New York, a group of small-time crooks hatched the dumbest insurance scam of all time: take out a life insurance policy on a local drunk and kill him for the payout. Simple, right? Except Malloy had the constitution of a cockroach. Poisoned drinks? He asked for another round. Antifreeze? Tasted just fine. Rotten oysters marinated in wood alcohol? Delicious. Even running him over with a taxi twice wasn’t enough. In this episode of The Lesser Known People Podcast, we break down...

In this chaotic and educational episode, we dive into the infamous 1970 Florence, Oregon whale explosion, where a poorly planned dynamite detonation made history—and covered spectators in blubber.
