Play

How many times can you record a single episode before finally losing your mind? The answer is 4. On this week’s episode, Harley is joined by Josh the Giant Leprechaun, you may remember him from our Bobby Mackey episode.

***Warning. We have some audio anomalies, and I am now considering burning everything and starting over.***

This oddity is a slippery one, so we took a hands-on approach. Harley took a road trip down to Apache, Oklahoma to take part in the Apache, OK Rattlesnake Festival.

We hear a first-hand account of Harley’s experience hunting rattlesnakes.

We discuss what appears to be the largest garage sale on the planet.

We take a virtual walk through the snake pit and then pop over to the butcher shop.

We discuss Apache, OK. If you go, bring a bag lunch because there are very few places to eat.

Lace up your climbing shoes, cause we a scaling a mountain of an oddity with Brett and Harley on this trip to a spiritual icon! On this week’s episode, we travel to Hulett, WY to check out the Devil’s Tower. Richard Dreyfus might make a return visit from the stars to hear about the Devil’s Tower they don’t want you to know about. Whether you want to experience nature in all her glory, take part in a traditional vision quest or if you just have a NEED to be here(and you are out of mashed potatoes), this place has it all. This place is so awesome, it has at least a dozen different names. We like places that are off the beaten path, and the Devil’s Tower does not disappoint. As the first national monument ever, this place is steeped in history and mystery. We discuss the history of this locale and what you need to know if you are going to make the trek….oh and this is our 50th episode…how cool is that?

Our news story, from the UK mirror covers a 250,000 year old piece of aluminum. Is this proof that aliens have visited us in the past, or that humanity was once more advanced than we have been lead to beleive?
