  • S5E6 Was James Dean’s ‘Little Bastard’ Porsche cursed

    S5E6 Was James Dean’s ‘Little Bastard’ Porsche cursed
    Sep 19 2025
    In this rib-tickling episode, Koji, Dwayne, and Cat hilariously stumble into the bizarre and often sidesplitting world of cursed objects and superstitions, joined by guest writer and comedian Vanessa Graddick. They tackle the legendary tale of James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder, ominously dubbed "Little Bastard" (because apparently, "Speedy McDeathtrap" was already taken), diving headfirst into the alleged curse that accompanied the iconic actor's tragic fate. The conversation effortlessly swerves through cultural insights and personal anecdotes, from comically wishing playful curses on everyday annoyances like malfunctioning podcast equipment (is it too much to ask for a tech exorcism?) and road rage offenders (who really should have their own lane on the highway to nowhere), to captivating chats about unlucky numbers and the curious legacy of cursed items. This episode serves up humor with a side of nostalgia, taking listeners on a giggle-inducing ride through Hollywood's dark legends and playful banter, all while pondering whether these curses are just coincidences or supernatural shenanigans pulling a fast one on us.

  • s5E4 Were the Roswell Aliens really special needs Soviet children

    s5E4 Were the Roswell Aliens really special needs Soviet children
    Jul 17 2025
    Ever pondered if those infamous Roswell aliens were just misunderstood Soviet children on an intergalactic field trip? In this hilariously speculative episode, we dive headfirst into the absurd with hosts Koji, Dwayne, and Cat, as they debate who among them would be the most irresistible human for alien abduction. Between considering clever escape tactics and trying to annoy extraterrestrial captors into releasing them, the hosts promise plenty of laughs. The trio also examines the legendary Roswell incident, exploring its quirky theories—imagine Soviet children with special needs posing as aliens! Amidst this cosmic chaos, they humorously explore conspiracy theories, the nuances of infidelity with extraterrestrials, and the awkward moments of mistaking mannequins for naked people on the highway. With a whimsical take on humanity, this episode is a delightful blend of humor, curiosity, and the undeniable charm of human absurdity.
