Fyi: someone who has had a Traumatic Brain Injury will process alcohol differently than the average person. 1 drink for the affected individual is like 4 drinks to others. This may (or may not) be relevant to your research into Poe's death.
Makes me wonder what the purpose of replaying shows like this is.... Is it to give as many people as possible a 'heads up' before something truly paradigm shifting happens?!
love the format of the show! but they should explore more mysterious/paranormal/UFO topics
it's pronounced "Try-on"
Where's the new listener mail episode??
Marilyn. Marilyn did. let the woman rest and stop trying to make her seem so much more important a figure than she was.
The reason why Michael may have been targeted by headhunters was for revenge against the ‘white man’ for an incident that occurred some years prior to his arrival to the area. During a standoff between the Asmat and a neighboring tribe, the colonial Dutch military attempted to intervene but unfortunately caused a melee in which about 8 or 9 Asmat men, including some tribal elders/leaders, were gunned down by Dutch machine gun fire. And while Michael himself wasn’t specifically targeted, as he was attempting to make his way thru the woods to find help he was discovered by some Asmat headhunters. To these men, a naked white man alone deep in the woods, far, far away from “his” civilization was a gift from the Gods to fulfill their need for revenge. Btw, this story is far from conjecture. It was confirmed by younger generations of Asmat people whom the story had been passed down to over the many years since.

Why can't Noel ever stop talking over and interrupting the others? Nobody else can complete a sentence without him doing one or the other.
Wow. The President Of Brazil who is now in office is a communist. Bolsonaro is a hero & a Patriot. His election was stolen. To claim otherwise proves your ignorance to the topic, whether willfully or innocent.
The FBI agent was part of the fraud against President Trump. Accusing Trump of the very thing the Agent was illegally doing. You failed to mention that tidbit. The most important part. And citing CNN as sources. yikes!!
The world of critical thought? According to whom? The WEF, the OMS the mass media or the so called EXPERTS? No thanks
i love this show. 90% of the time that I listen to podcasts, it's STDWYTK. Idk why it effects me so much, but I have an actual anxiety / panic attack because I am worried that it won't be the three of you. whenever I start an episode it says that someone is on adventures or whatever it's just kind of bums me out since something that makes this podcast so good is how the three of you interact with each other.
1. all greta did was bodyshame tate about his genitalia, which is hypocritical considering she called out people fat shaming, im interested to know what the difference is? 2. You should have said allegedly people trafficking, hes been arrested not convicted so if he's not guilty he could sue you 3. Matt you have the worst fake laugh ever 4. The pizza box comment was ok.
Please do another one and involve all recent stuff because What Happened with TM?!
