The Government's Gay Bomb: A Real (Failed) Weapon Concept
The hosts discover and dissect the 1990s Air Force proposal for a non-lethal "gay bomb"—a psychochemical weapon designed to disperse sex pheromones among enemy soldiers to disrupt military cohesion. After a three-page proposal and a satiric Nobel Prize for the lab that researched it, the project allegedly disappeared. The crew jokes that it's still covert, manifesting as chemtrails turning people gay.
Memorable Deaths: Planning Your Exit Strategy
The hosts discuss the ultimate challenge: dying in a way newsworthy enough to get coverage.

Serial Killers in the Backyard: Local Crime Stories
Dingo shares his unsettling habit of driving friends through the woods where the Gilgo Beach killer's victims were found, while the hosts compare local serial killer lore from their respective regions.

Time Travel, Wormholes, and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
The crew debates whether time travel is possible, discussing forward-time-travel relativity versus actual backward time travel. Tad claims he once saw his future self in a minivan at a stoplight and now feels compelled to buy a white minivan to fulfill the prophecy. They also touch on a viral TikTok about a mysterious shed time traveler caught on ring cameras.
Pop Culture & Conspiracy: From Jamie Lee Curtis to Frankie Valli
The hosts discuss Jamie Lee Curtis's recent Instagram posts and her continued appeal, Lindsay Lohan's comeback, and the increasingly disturbing possibility that Frankie Valli is being Weekend-at-Bernie's'd on stage as a lip-syncing automaton. They ponder who owes money to whom to keep pushing these aging celebrities into the spotlight.
