Episode #033- Resisting the Shadow Bigfoot Episode #033- Resisting the Shadow Bigfoot The Crew decided to keep the fun alive in this episode by exploring the recent phenomenon of Bigfoot sightings in Ohio. We take a hard look at the real questions this new slew of encounters brings up. How do these sightings tie in to the recent stellar phenomenon in the area? Was their appearance foretold in the bible? Just how high is the divorce rate in the Bigfoot research community? Are we more competent broadcasters than anyone on Rumble? Join us as we answer this and so much more.

Episode 032- Accountabilibuddies 03/27/2026

Episode 032- Accountabilibuddies This Week we take things down a bit and check in to see what if any non war like current events are going on. We start with a bit of reflection of the first attention we have received from the general public and hopefully start the process of a productive dialogue. Next we look at legal news including catching up with America’s version of House Frey and see what the Duggars are up to. Next we remember Robert Muller and his role in helping to utterly destroy any semblance of reasonable political discourse in this country and the rise and invariably hilarious fall of Jacob Wohl. Lastly, we continue our search for a belief system by celebrating Afroman’s Victory in both a court of law and public opinion against the Adams County Sheriff's Department.
