Art and Jacob Do America

The 80's were a strange time. It seems like every fast food chain had it's own quirky mascot that sooner or later took a strangle hold of pop culture. Eventually these mascots would appear on cereals, tv shows, toy stores, comic books and video games. Dominos Pizza however, had the absolute KING of these goofy mascots.....THE NOID. The Noid was a buck toothed trouble maker with (for whatever reaso...

August 28th, 2001 Slipknot released their second studio album "Iowa".  20 years later it has become one of the most important albums in metal music history. Today on the 20th anniversary of this album we discuss the making of this album as well as dive into all of the nuances of each song that make this album so great.  We also welcome back Mr. Copper Kelley all the way from Ireland to add some cl...

This week we head up north to the great country of Canada. For 10,000 years indigenous people have told terrifying stories of a secluded valley of land known as the Nahanni Valley... later The Nahanni National Forest. They told stories of a cursed land full of evil spirits, demons, bear/wolf creatures, giants, and Sasquatch like men . Later on these stories would be shared with prospectors coming...

There's only so many serial killer docs, wild internet tales, and BS conspiracies we can stomach before we say "Hey dud I need a break from all of this crazy podcast stuff we cover". So this week we go back to being normal bros for a second and talk some FOOTBALL.  Ah Yes ....the NFL season is upon us (The first preseason games just finished while we were recording this show) and we couldn't be an...

If you're listening to this show in real time...it's August 8th, 2021.  The Tokyo Olympic Games have just concluded and every thing in these Covid times have gone as well as they could have gone given the circumstances. However, back in 1996 during the Atlanta Olympic Games...that was not the case. During the early morning hours of July 27, 1996, Richard Jewell a security guard for Centennial Park...

We have a really good episode for you guys this week! We welcome guitarist from Retox and Dead Cross, Mr. Michael Crain!

This week Art and Jacob Do....Quentin Tarantino films. (As if the title didn't already tell you that).  If you're a subscriber to our Patreon you'll probably hear us discuss or reference a Tarantino movie at least ONCE an episode. SO, we decided to dedicate a whole episode to our favorite director! We take a look at a list compiled by the good people at "Vulture" and slot in where we think all 10...

In June of 2000 Deftones released their 3rd , and many consider their BEST, album....."White Pony".

This week we take a look at Brujeria. The word Brujeria translates from spanish to english as "Witch Craft". Now, when most people hear the term witch craft, they think of devil worship, cauldrons, green skinned women, broom sticks, and black cats. But Mexican "Witch Craft" is really just a combination of ancient and indigenous healing and spirutual practices that share A LOT of similarities to th...

We can all agree that 2020 was a wild wild year! But one thing that kind of flew under the radar (no pun intended) was that the U.S. Government was finally fully acknowledging the existence of UFO's. Now, in the past it was always dismissed, swept under the rug, or ridiculed ...but now we have former presidents saying that they exist!  Now with that said that doesn't mean they are saying they are...

This week we take a look at an American event that just turned 100 years old recently.  The Tulsa Race Massacre. It's also referred to as "The Tulsa Race Riot" but we get into why the first name is more correct.  This historical event has seen an increase in publication the last few years thanks to shows like HBO's "The Watchmen" ...and various news outlets comparing it to recent events in light o...

This week we decided to hit you with another unsolved mystery.....queue the creepy tv show music and Robert Stack's eerie voice.......HERE-----> Tonight we'll be talking about the murder or Elizabeth Barraza. Wife. Daughter. Cosplayer. Member of the 501st Legion. But most importantly, a great person who used to her love of Star Wars and Harry Potter to bring joy to sick children in hospitals. Unfo...

This week we take a look at a possible cryptid?....possible werewolf?...possible spirit realm entity? This week we're talking "The Beast of Bray Road" . In the small town of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, residents for years have been seeing an upright walking canine that has been terrifying local residents since 1936.  In the late 80's-early 90's these sightings spiked tremendously and the local media start...

This week we welcome back friend to the show...the great and powerful AARON NORTH (Nine Inch Nails, The Icarus Line, Jubilee) To talk about the 1988 classic "...And Justice For All" by Metallica.  Aaron , in detail, explains why this is the best Metallica albums and well as possibly the best metal album of all time (EVEN ABOVE MASTER OF PUPPETS). We talk the crazy way this album was recorded, the...

This week we are without "The Brown Recluse" Art Trejo...BUT we welcome Jesus Fuentes to the show from the "Words R Hard" Podcast! This week Jesus suggested the roller coaster of a story of Lori Vallow, her missing children, , her murderous brother, and her latest husband, Chard Daybell, the leader of a doomsday cult .  Unfortunately this story does not have a happy ending as recently the missing...

This week we welcome a long time friend to the show. Mr. Ross Calderon AKA Mr Sloppy Pappi...we'll cover the nick name probably on another epsidoe! BUT, this week the three of us came together like butt cheeks to discuss the best horror movies from 2010-2020. Art and Ross had a top 10 and some honorable mentions...while Jacob had a Top 5 (didn't think the decade had THAT many bangers).     Listen...

This week we take a look a phenomena that set Reddit afire when "search and rescue" officer posted to the r/nosleep forum stories of mysteries staircases found in the woods.  Yep...stair cases...in the WOODS. On the surface this sounds a little far fetched but according to his story, many people were missing  or found injured/dead in the vicinity of theses random staircases. Other "search and resc...

This week we inject you with a dose of the Holy Ghost...or something else? We're talking about the "Miracle of the Sun" also known as the "Miracle of Fatima". Back in 1917, in the aread of Fatima Portugal... three shepherd children were visited by an apparition that many believe to be the Virgin Mary. She came every month on the 13th  and instructed the children to pray, make personal sacrifices,...

Back when we first started we gave you "The Flat Earth Theory". Now, 4 years later we give you "The Hollow Earth Theory". Both are bull shit  but, when it comes down to it ...hollow earth is the one that probably has more legs. Since the beginning of time, man has theorized a world beneath ours. Whether it be the Christian idea of "HELL" or a paradise greater than HEAVEN...Shamballa.  So sit back...

According to Urban Dictionary , the term "Butt Rock" is defined as : "A style of hard rock & heavy metal music that is watered down both musically and lyrically to garner maximum radio play and mainstream acceptance. Lyrical themes are drawn from a put-on  “tough guy / bro” persona, and include being a badass, getting lots of pussy, strippers, partying, and being betrayed or alone. Image wise,  bu...

Happy LATE  St Patricks Day every one.

But we also explore some less far fetched suspects such as Ted Kaczynski , AKA the "Un...

This week we celebrate our 200th episode by giving you part 2 of our look at the Zodiac Killer. Last week we took a look at Zodiac's first 5 CONFIRMED murders. This week we take you through the roller coaster ride of his letters, puzzles, and ciphers that were sent to the San Francisco Media (mostly the San Francisco Chronicle) and bay area police. We also take a look at potential unconfirmed murd...

This week we take a  look at one of the first popular serial killers that haunted San Francisco in the late 60's/early 70's. The Zodiac Killer. Zodiac would kill 5 people (although he claims to have killed 37)  and send newspapers letters and coded ciphers admitting to the crimes with "clues" on how to catch him and his supposed true identity. Most of these ciphers would be decoded within time exc...

If you've ever heard the phrase "Don't Drink the Kool-Aid"  and ever wondered where that phrase came from, you've downloaded the right podcast! This week we take a look at what was the single most loss of American lives until 9/11.....JONESTOWN. Jonestown was a township located in the jungles of Guyana where Rev. Jim Jones and his church, The People's Temple, had relocated due to pressures from th...
