Full collapse on deck and I blow through Piggy's Indiana Jones death to try and hide how much I don't like that part.

Ralph musters his public speaking chops in hopes of restoring order and things get worse. 

Part 1 from this year's Father's Day series on Patreon.

We rejoin the Brothers from Dayton as excellent bike shop employee Charlie Taylor jumps in to help with the mechanical work, the Smithsonian team has a rough run of it, and I forget how to say Potomac maybe 4 separate times. 

Kitty Hawk North Carolina plays host to the Brothers from Dayton for three rounds of testing and Wilber is pressured into headlining a science show in Chicago on ladies night. 

Main characters and setting are discussed, also a serial killer knocks out Wilber’s lower teeth. 

Starting off 2022 w/ a Rod Serling Deep Cut.

This was Patreon #8, it's from  early pandemic, like  3 weeks into the lockdown. Was into cookie bites at the time.

//FIRST UP// The Howling Man AKA Wait, is narrow face Peter Pan The Devil or what? Follows a man named David Ellington as he blacks out on the floor twice as a guest at a castle in Europe. and //Closing the Show// Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up AKA Who the f**k walked outta Tracy's lake? Is a Clue board game style murder mystery episode about a Diner, and somebody in there possibly being a secret alien.

Information comes from the first 100 pages of Christopher Lee’s Autobiography, “Tall, Dark, and Gruesome.” Forgot to emphasize how much he got his ass beat by teachers as a boy for disciplinary reasons. "There was the Black Book," where misdeeds were recorded and canceled out with the cane at the end of the week." Also on the back on some positive medical news, we went no notes allowed while recording for this.

The character Fortunato, who gets buried alive by the narrator, represents a person the author knew in real life.  The guy beat Poe up in the street the year prior over an argument about a girl's brother and wanting a gun.

These things swim around self hypnotized all day but I can't prove it. Hammerhead Sharks are discussed in detail.

Our remaining 4 pack of players get, shot, hung, drowned, and head crushed by a large white marble bear clock, then a short musical interlude, then we figure out what went on out there.

We recap our first three ghosts from part 1, then narrow the field from 7 down to 4 with help from an axe, hypodermic syringe, and revolver.

Curl up with your feet on the couch and a box of Laura's Fudge at the beach, it's world's best selling murder mystery book time.  

After using them as cover last week, a debt is paid as the Scorp facts runneth over in this nat geo departure.

The title of this episode is a decoy.  This episode is not about Scorpions.  The actual episode is about what I leaned about how to travel to Europe with your girlfriend in your mid 20’s.  I have a good friend who’s a little younger than me and is going to Italy to meet his girl’s family soon, so I made him a travel guide with what I learned from doing a similar thing in my 20’s with this episode.  I used a decoy title because if I named the episode about what it is actually about,...

Pack up your folders and put on your construction paper tri-corner hats, it’s time for the American Revolution! In this episode we take a look at how the relationship between the American Colonies and the British Empire broke up. Even though they both really really liked certain parts of each other’s personalities, it was just tough to make it work after a certain amount of time. 

// Time for some Guess and Check // Given the film version of the Canadian Stratford Festival Version of the William Butler Yeats adaptation of the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, the goal was to try and understand the story of the play as completely as possible according to the following rules: - I was only allowed to watch the full play one time. - During that one time, I was only allowed to hit pause two times, but was allowed to use those two pauses whenever. - I was not allowed to...

Off a recommendation from an electrician named Ant from the last Patreon faculty meeting, we take a look at a visionary thinker who changed humanity forever however was also not the best with money. 

This is a Broken  Zoltar Format Patreon Episode about Classical Composers.  A Broken Zoltar episode is a handful of loosely related topics done in smaller bursts and then strung together to make a larger episode, I try to do at least one a month on the Patreon. This one covers Frederic Chopin, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Ludwig Van Beethoven.  Also RIP to one of the Patreon's class pets, Rose the Koala. 

We take a break from books and science to enjoy some good old fashioned European theater World War 2 on a Friday.

We wrap up L'Étranger, (Found out that's what they call, "The Stranger," in French,) by following nutbar Meursault. He gets thrown in jail for shooting that dude one time, and then four more times, and goes on trial.  

Albert Camus' The Stranger was named one of the the top 100 books of the last century and it's also a frequent pick for high school reading lists. Turns out, the main character is a space cadet who talks like Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho. Part 2 later this week.
