In this episode, "WTF II: Streaming Thoughts & Connecting Some Dots", Spencer shares a stream of his own "just asking questions"; attempts to reinforce the reality that shit doesn't happen in a vacuum; proposes that many answers are just sleight of hand tricks and provides a fun treat for the Bestest Word. Enjoy.

WTF World?!?! Is that not enough of an episode description? As Russia's invasion of Ukraine ramps up; Spencer shares a life motto, asks if we're playing football or futbol, is dumbfounded that the SOTU pledged to repeat past mistakes – and he's clearly been on Twitter too much – because he thinks that Pornhub could topple Putin. Seriously; WTF World?!?!

This show started as a follow up to the Russia-Ukraine II, "Black Sea Coasting" episode, but the Russians invaded Ukraine as Spencer was just beginning the recording; so some of the episode is oddly timed – for lack of a better phrase. There are multiple layers of metaphors & analogies in this episode & it kind of comes down to what hill are we individually, willing to die on.

This is part 2 of the Russia-Ukraine episodes. Spencer lays out a few of the long term challenges that are influencing Russia's decision making, cites the involvement of Russian separatists & mercenaries in Ukraine & makes his own prediction about what's going to happen. Let's see how close he gets.

This is part 1 of 2, in a Russia-Ukraine mini series. In keeping with the Keep It Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S.) spirit; Spencer tries to provide an easy introduction & explanation of what's going on with the Russia-Ukraine crisis. He then gets a little more in-depth about the history & the current situation.

In Part 3 of our None Of The Above/NOTA series; Spencer acknowledges some NOTA influences, more layers are added to our hypothetical, February has not historically been Black History Month, important scenarios get good introductions and multiple Pink-Oz easter eggs abound.

Spencer had a strange week that inspired this episode. From MLK Day to random Twitterness; the Turner Diaries, dumbspiracies' tangibility & a COVID death – it was a rather metaphorical spectrum. Then "Gathering" fit all Wizard of Oz/Pink Floyd-like as background for some fun citations & Spencer closes reassuring those mad at him that he still loves them.

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Spencer presents Dr. King's "Triplets Of Evil" speech. He also offers some thoughts along the way; almost more because he felt like just uploading the speech & praising it for 5 minutes was too much like plagairism. Spencer agrees with Dr. King that racism, materialism & militarism are America's main obstacles to The Promised Land.

One year after Trump's failed January 6th coup, much of America is still unwilling to admit what happened that day. The unwillingness of his supporters to acknowledge what they voted for – & their continued willingness to rationalize their ongoing support, despite all the evidence, does not bode well for 2022 or 2024. How do we get off this path if so few will accept their culpability & those who knew, continue to escape accountability?

In this obligatory 2021 news summary; Spencer covers four topics, waits till literally the last day to record – so that nothing would get missed – only for Betty White to pass in the last 7 hours of 2021. Maybe she knows something we don't about 2022? RIP oh Great One. Enjoy this episode, "2021: The Year that Sci-Fi Became a Documentary".

For this Sunday News Review compilation, Spencer compiled some of the most common rhetorical lies that he has to repeatedly fact-check and put them into one referenceable episode. This way when politicians & celebrities repeat the same dumb things over & over again; Spencer can reference this episode instead of having to track down sources & such every time. In this, Spencer breaks down Sen. John Barrasso, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Lindsey Graham & Elon Musk. Listeners will be surprised how often such easily disprovable things are repeatedly said.

In this part two of the None Of The Above mini-series, Spencer counters the Demobilization Hypothesis with NOTA, introduces the 'Doing Better Together Fiestas', reveals that he has a time machine and thanks The Rock for putting NOTA over. This episode will set up the format of this series & begin introducing likely scenarios that we'll encounter over the next couple years. Buckle up; its going to be bumpy ride.

In this Part two of the COVID episodes, Spencer addresses Gain-of-Function research, lab leaks and the most recent Omicron variant. He then expresses his thoughts & feelings about the dumbspiracists, how they have effected people close to Spencer and what he thinks will unfold through the rest of 2021. While a part 3 may be necessary; this is the initial bow on the COVID 2021 episodes.

As we hope that COVID-19 will be ending along with 2021, Spencer presents part 1 of 2 in hopes of dispelling persistent myths about the mRNA vaccines (by reading actual medical journals instead of Facebook), swallows enough red pills to discover the true, grandest conspiracy of all & becomes pretty sure the University of Mississippi Libraries is on the whole thing.
