Cap shows Ryan how easy it is to follow a promise to listeners by bringing getting the scoop on wombat poop and that dude who appeared to be in the throws of passion at the time of his death in a terrible tectonic conflagration. Mostly they just kick it like youths.

Ryan and Cap are joined by a storied figure in our podcast history, Maurice, who is fit to join any adventuring party of 4th level in need of a rapscallion, scalliwag, or any other sort of nautical ne'e'r-do-well. This episode hits the ground with Questionable Headlines, discussing a controversial gift the Russian government gave to symbolize its thanks. Then they try to spot a scammer with a sus looking Taylor Tomlinson account. Then they examine an archaeological claim Ryan found on a half-baked like-farm history Facebook page, and they really dig into Roman taxes and social welfare programs in a totally brisk way. Facebook also yielded a 1200 year old Viking turd, which Ryan tops with a T-Rex turd... but maybe they wouldn't have been competitive, maybe they would have been friends. Everyone's seen How to Train a Dragon. Maurice flexes his mental muscles and proves that he has always been and will always be the undisputed king of fact checking when he tackles the romanticization of Pirates in the 17th and 18th Centuries, and which current scourges will win praise when Chat GPT summarizes all of human history for a group of teens marching towards the battery farms in a hundred years.

Ryan and Cap unearth the facts about an r/conspiracy claim linking historical genocidal knobwobble Andrew Jackson to socialite friend to "you know who" Jeffrey Epstein (you know what he did, we really don't need the heat from that SEO) by way of necromancy (This is fine for SEO) and stacks of cash (This is great for SEO). Then they tackle some LinkedIn lunacy in the form of a pair of pie charts purporting to moralize something about workplace priorities... while also not understanding how basic pie charts work.

Ryan and Cap are back for a third season of fact checking, chilling personal anecdotes, quirky highlights, zany soliloquys, feral grunts, vaguely coded threats, and painful audio mishaps.

Then they tell you what those nerds at the Yakuza are up to now... hint: like a RICO charge, you gotta catch'em all. Then they discuss Trump's Executive Order that attempts to erase trans people and trans identities from the public record. Finally, they answer a question from r/NoStupidQuestions about why there isn't kibble for humans.Please remember to rate and review our show.

Ryan and Cap take stock of all the things they're grateful for before breaking the news that their side did, in fact, lose the election. If you heard it here first, that's both dope and sad. Cap gives Ryan three minutes to say his piece on fascism before they turn to Turkey-day topics. Somewhere along the way, Ryan recounts his run in with the Turkish mob during a college trip to Istanbul.

Cap and Ryan are letting the Devil take the wheel for all of October. NOTE: We're not literally consorting with any demonic forces. It's October 2024, and polls are saying it's a coin toss whether Ted Cruz gets to preside over my witch trial... so to be clear, it's just a Halloween goof. But that goof is going to transition us from the Oktoberfest Devil's Wheel into the first half of an Actual Play Table Top Roleplaying Game single shot session of Absurdia with its creator Quinn Modjeski and special guest player Jess Sparks.

Ryan and Cap talk about the scientific awards nobody puts on their CV before opining on the state of global drag. Then they blabber about politics and why Donald Trump is racist, and why Laura Loomer is a victim of her own schtick, and how you should definitely vote for Kamala Harris in November. Holy smokes. Don't panic. But if you do feel a sense of panic, that's okay. We're just primates, and evolution hasn't caught up to the demands of civilization. Cut yourself some slack.
