    In virtual reality, is there actually a "there" there?

    Recorded on 1/6/2021, Joe and Jerry discuss the recent eye-opening developments with UFOs as well as tackling the weird and perhaps perplexing question of whether or not there's an actual "there" there inside virtual reality.

    Human - Alien Wars, Secret Underground Military Bases, and Unleasing the ID

    Have you ever heard of "DUMBs" (Deep Underground Military Bases)? Jerry hadn't, so Joe fills him in on the various sightings and reports, or at least the rumors thereof, up to and including an alleged armed conflict with space aliens.

    From Utopia to the End of Everything

    From Utopia to the End of Everything

    Joe and Jerry start off talking about various attempts of creating a utopia and end up talking about rogue planets and black holes which could wander into our solar system at any time and ... well, totally ruin beautiful little oasis in this vast ocean of radiation and icy cold nothing. The takeaway, if there is one, is to maybe create a tiny Utopia for yourself and share it with those you love.

    Placebo Madness!

    Placebo Madness!

    Now the truth can be told! There is a dangerous, powerful drug that has gone under the radar for far too long, and now it's up to us to warn you about PLACEBO MADNESS! Actually, this was the subject of a comedy film that Jerry was making when he was much younger, but today we're bringing it up as a serious subject: the power of a placebo, or inert pill or injection (or any number of various treatments) is actually getting ... get this ... more powerful. How? Why? That's what we're examining in this episode, from the angle of drugs and alternate medicine all the way to the positive effects of virtual reality. So join us in this bizarre examination of just how powerful our minds are in its ability to heal us ... or even, harm us.
