Send us Fan Mail Starting back in 2007, the week before Spring Break has had a special tradition around the town of Manhattan, KS.

Dan Wants to Talk About Behavioral Experiments 06.03.2026

Send us Fan Mail Who thought that conditioning a young child to be terrified of anything white and fluffy could have any long lasting side effects?

Dan Wants to Talk About Butt Rock 06.02.2026

Send us Fan Mail You might not be familiar with the term but trust me. You are definitely aware of this sub genre of rock. The term was originally coined from a radio station.

What do all of these bands have in common? You&...

David Wants to Talk About The Donner Party 30.01.2026

Dusty Wants to Talk About The Last Of Us 16.01.2026

Send us Fan Mail A cordyceps strain mutates and starts jumping to humans, taking over their bodies and turning them into savage creatures intent on spreading the infection at all costs.

That my friends, is the recipe for an amazi...

Dusty Wants to Talk About Future Tech Movies Got Right 05.12.2025

Send us Fan Mail From the earliest sci-fi films to modern day blockbusters, movies have a tendancy to try to predict what the future holds. This is especially true for technology.

Dan Wants to Talk About Frivolous Lawsuits 21.11.2025

Send us Fan Mail We've all heard a story or two in our time. Someone sets their cruise control in a Winnebago and goes to take a nap, sues the manufacturer when they end up crashing and getting a few million out of it.

David Wants to Talk About Streaks 14.11.2025

David Wants to Talk About Mel's Hole 17.10.2025

Send us Fan Mail I know what you're thinking. With a title like that, half of it is probably just butt jokes. That couldn't be further from the truth. It's actually more like 3/4. David stumbled across an urban myth and decided to educate the guys on the story of Mel's Hole. Calling into "Coast To Coast AM" in 1997, Mel shared his story with listeners across the natio...
