Today’s episode enter the world of crop circles. We follow along with a video from the Why Files (linked below). We start off talking about the Arecibo Message sent in 1974 and then we go into the supposed Arecibo Answer crop circle in 2001 near the Chibolton radio telescope. We have some fun speculating on what the implications would be, if real. We talk about another crop circle that had a message encoded in ASCII English and we speculate on what the message means. We talk about the sightings of orbs around crop circles. We show some videos that claim to be capturing crop circles being formed. We see that the crop circle phenomenon goes back in history. We spend some time talking about the features of “Authentic” and hoaxed crop circles and the weirds connections to intelligence agencies. We wrap up by giving out thoughts on the phenomenon and expressing our frustrations. Strap in for another fun ride!
UFOs, USOs or UAPs, whatever they’re called we’re talking about them today. There was a great interview with Lue Elizondo on the Joe Rogan Experience and the brothers are here to talk about it. Before we get into that, we start with a couple of smaller but interesting stories. Stories include the idea that apparently our faces evolve as we age to match our name, a musician named Ian McConnell sings a short song encapsulating the arrogance of thinking you have it all figured out and an interesting snippet from the channeled entity Bashar.
The snippets we cover from the Lue Elizondo interview include discussion of the earliest footage and documents that establish UAP activity, UAP interacting with military installations and nuclear sites both in the US and Russia, the reason for the cover-up, and a couple interesting stories that Lue shares. We wrap up the segment on Lue with his mic-drop moment on JRE talking about corruption. After talking about Lue, Dean shares some videos with Drew that claim to be leaked footage of actual aliens. We spend the last segment going over some clips from the recent Daniel Sheehan interview on Jessie Michaels’ YouTube channel. Daniel is an attorney who has been involved in just about every major US conspiracy of recent times from the JFK assassination to UFOs. Enjoy another episode all about aliens and UFOs!
The Cosmic Summit 2024 just happened and we are excited to talk about what we learned (so far.) The show starts with an article Drew brought in about AI Hallucination and another about the Mandela Effect. Dean is sure that the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia on it in the past. Could the brain actually be creating or harnessing consciousness through quantum effects? There’s some new experiments that give the first evidence that this could be the case. We spend most of the show talking about the talk given by Chandra Wickramasinghe. He expertly laid out the case for panspermia at the Cosmic Summit and we ate it all up. Bacteria and viruses from all over the universe are constantly falling to earth and influencing life here. In the final segment, we set out to talk about Malcom Bendall and only succeed for a little while until we tangent off talking about Terrence Howard. Join us for this first part in our thoughts about Cosmic Summit 2024.
Part 7 of Secret History of the World is a lot of tangents off of the book. But, we start with some science stories. There’s been some new experiments with quantum internet. The universe is constantly vibrating with gravitational waves. Gobekli Tepe is being shut down from further major excavation and damaged by construction. We get conspiratorial about why this could be happening. We finally move on to Secret History and review last weeks coverage and talk about alternative states of consciousness. This chapter also deals with Egypt and ideas about the great pyramid’s construction and use. Were the Egyptians burial practices meant to draw their spirits back to the world for reincarnation? Is the bicameral mind theory correct? Did we start of with the experience of gods talking to us in our brain before having a true inner monologue? We don’t have the answers but we have fun talking about it.
Today’s episode turned into a strange hybrid of topics. We started with responding to a message from our #1 fan. After that, we talk about the idea of replacement reincarnation and how it differs from normal reincarnation and possession. We cover chapter 10 of Secret History of the World which include topics like sleep, reincarnation, death, Zarathustra and the esoteric meaning of Sleeping Beauty. After the last break we make a seemingly hard turn to talk more about AI and the problem of AI existentialism and we ask the question, is AI actually secretly alive? Afterwards, we somehow tie all the topics together. Enjoy this grab bag of an episode!
Today is the final entry in our coverage of Life Before Life. We start the show talking about near-death experiences and mediums as other indicators that the spirit can exist independent of the body. We talk about the scientific idea of consilience and how it’s a double-edged sword that helps and hurts science in different situations. Can reincarnation ever be consilient with science? The second segment is full of tangents like simulation theory, the Tall el-Hammam discovery and the Carolina Bays. We move on to cover some various objections to reincarnation like population size, religious objections and Alzheimer’s disease. We finally move on to the end of the book where Jim B. Tucker covers speculations and questions based on the research. Does everyone reincarnate? If so, what is actually reincarnating? Do people have a choice in when and where they reincarnate? Is reincarnation a fulfilment of karma? We finish the book with advice for parents on how to handle the situation if your child starts talking about a past life. This has been a fun journey that has changed our views on the topic. We hope you enjoy it!

Alfred Wegener (above) came up with the idea of plate tectonics which was not consilient with the scientific worldview of his day. It wasn’t until after his death that more evidence was gathered to confirm his view and science finally accepted plate tectonics.
Ignaz Semmelweis (below) proposed that doctors wash their hands before delivering babies to prevent postpartum infection which was a serious issue in his day. He was shunned and ridiculed and eventually had a nervous breakdown that led him to be committed to an asylum.
Tall el-Hammam was found to have evidence of an airburst that destroyed the city. It is thought to be the site of the biblical city of Sodom.
This paper in Nature published by some of the members of the Comet Research Group explains the evidence.

#23 – Reincarnation Pt. IV
Tuesday, May 28, 2024 • Duration 02:13:41
In todays episode we continue the coverage of Life After Life by Jim B Tucker, M.D. Before the book we talk about the new announcement out of OpenAI of Chat GPT-4o. Dean talks about the Rizwan Virk episode on Joe Rogan and his particular brand of simulation theory. We discuss the recent CME and geomagnetic storm and the incredible aurora that it produced as how it may have been as strong as the Carrington Event. Afterwards we hop into the book and discuss numerous cases that are themed around recognizing faces and cases that remember the time between lives. Why do some children seem to recall the funeral and burials of the previous personalities while others don’t? Join us for another fascinating adventure into reincarnation!
The Cosmic Summit 2024 will be held June 14-17 in Greensboro, North Carolina. You can get passes for the physical event as well as passes for the live stream and on-demand video at the

#22 – Reincarnation Pt. III
Tuesday, May 21, 2024 • Duration 01:49:04
This week’s episode continues on the topic of reincarnation as we keep digging through “Life Before Life.” We start off talking more about Dorothy Eady. We continue into Tucker’s analysis of reincarnation birthmark cases. We continue into more cases which include cases of deep emotional impact, cases with written records, cases displaying unacquired tastes and others that include twins. At some point we also talk about past life regressions and why the author didn’t include the practice in his study. If these cases don’t seem like enough, just wait, we’ll be back with more reincarnation cases next week. Enjoy!

#21 – Reincarnation Pt. II
Tuesday, May 14, 2024 • Duration 01:50:48
Here’s the second entry in our coverage of Life After Life. Today we start the show with an intriguing pyramid construction theory. We talk about a couple other interest news items as well before going into the book. We cover various reincarnation cases that have birthmarks matching the previous personality’s wounds. Dean confesses to his bad memory and confusion about Ian Stevenson. We cover some interesting theories on how the birthmarks cases might work. We also talk about the practice of experimental birthmarks and cover some cases that include examples. We spend time on the idea of consciousness affecting the body and how that might work. Hopefully you aren’t sick of reincarnation yet because there’s a lot more to come!
Topics include dark matter and dark energy. We spend some time talking about the mysteries of gravity, quantum physics and the theories that try to combine them together into a grand “theory of everything.” We talk about consciousness, teleportation and reincarnation. We have fun trying out some different illusions to show how crazy the brain is. We compare hard sciences to soft sciences and then discuss fields like psychology and egyptology. We lament over all the deliberately destroyed knowledge. We round out the episode discussing the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and the replication crisis in science.
Today’s episode is all about reincarnation. Dean shares what he’s been reading in Jim B Tucker MD’s book ‘Life After Life’. Jim worked with the reincarnation research OG, Ian Stevenson. We discuss multiple cases as well as the scientific study of reincarnation. We discuss the most common features reported in reincarnation cases. Drew relates the tale of Dorothy Eady who believed that she had a previous life as an Egyptian priestess. We spend some tie focused on the biggest phenomena associated with reincarnation which has to be the past life statements that many children make. They also tend to exhibit strange behaviors that seem to be best explained by reincarnation. In his studies, Dr. Tucker has established certain criteria that a case must meet to be included in their database which includes over 2500 cases. We zoom in on the rather unremarkable case of Abby Swanson who only made a few statements, only one time, and only to her mother alone. The case is a great tool to use to then go into the various normal and paranormal explanations for these cases. We go over a couple more cases and also play a bit of the Why Files reincarnation video. Enjoy this episode as the first in a series on reincarnation!

Two more slides. The top image shows a visualization of how comet tails are constantly spraying particulates into our atmosphere. The bottom shows the spectral analysis for Comet Halley.
I should also mention that in the episode I confused Ian Stevenson with someone else when I was introducing him. Ian Stevenson didn’t have a book about near death experiences where he talks about himself dying. That was actually from a book called Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander. Sorry for the confusion!
