After a blisteringly boring week of impeachment hearings, come enjoy a slightly more engaging analysis of said hearings...along with a whole bunch more. We've got a new round of recent Q proofs, we've got updates on recent sex trafficking busts, we've got deep-seated resentment of inconsistently-cut men's underpants, we've got it all.  Go on. Hit the play button. It'l...

More Star Wars dork stuff! The conversation continues! If you missed part one of this conversation on Monday, definitely go back and check that out first. If you did, the rest speaks for itself. We recorded this conversation before The Mandalorian aired, so if we got things wrong, shut up. We're not fortune tellers. So, all that said, join us now for the epic conclusion of the TSID Star Wars...

The question of the day is.... Star Wars... are you still with it? Did TLJ age well? Is there still hope for the franchise under the reign of Disney? Today's episode is the second TSID Star Wars Celebration, the last being two years ago during the run up to The Last Jedi. If you're not familiar, the TSID Star Wars Celebration is simply a break from our typical uncomfortable conversations...

Q is BACK and posting again, and it's some of the strangest most tantalizing stuff yet. If "Fringe" style esoteric technology, secret Gov't Black Projects, and game theory interests you, this is the episode for you. Seriously. Tune in, it's bonkers. Additionally, we tackle the humiliating farce that is the first week of the Impeachment Inquiry. Adam Schiff is probably verr...

Dan is joined by Brian McWilliamd for a brand new recap show, breaking down season 4 of "Rick and Morty". Will Brian's opinion on what he once called "the most libertarian show on TV" change after seeing the premiere ep, "Edge of Tomorty: Rick, Die, Repeat?" Find out now on this exclusive peak behind The Downers Club pay wall. For future recap episodes of Rick an...

So, I'm tired, low energy, still getting over a cold, but that wasn't going to stop me from reviewing The Mandalorian Chapter 1. If you don't like listening to sleepy gross ASMR rants, I'll just go ahead and give you the brief recap here... It's pretty great. The Mandalorian feels like Star Wars. Despite all the hate for Disney's handling of the franchise, this show s...

The question of the day is... Is it EVER harmful or dangerous to simply ask questions when facts don't add up? Here in 2019 we live in an Orwellian day and age where the simple act of asking a question is so taboo, you might get chastised or even sued. Such has certainly been the case for my guest today, Wolfgang Halbig. Wolf, regardless of all the smear tactics from the media, just may be th...

In this week's episode, Scott apologizes profusely for the audio quality on the Halloween Ep. Once sufficient genuflection has occured, we moved on to a lite recap of last weeks topics, followed by a close look at new Mainstream Media Malfeasance, and a nice reminder as to why impeachment won't do wha they hope it will. Stay tuned and...Stay Weird   SHOWNOTES:  https://twitter.com/Dangus...

The question of the day is.... What are y'all so butthurt about?  Well, as we quickly approach the end of 2019, one can only hope that 2020 will be less touchy and bring back the beautiful edge of art that has been sorely lacking this year, due to the fun-sucking stench of hyper political correctness and cancel culture.  It certainly wasn't a total loss of a year tho. Out of the politica...

After an explosive week both domestically and abroad, we dive straight into what’s really going on, what’s probably going on, what might be going on, and everything in between. Massive Syria developments, ham-fisted U.S. House hoaxes, a little bit of criminal justice updates, and some nice juicy Q proofs await just beyond the hyperlink.

So, I had a convo with Tom Macdonald recently and he confirmed that he'd be releasing a video for my favorite track off Ghostories, "Trying to Kill Me".I am beyond happy to announce the bold controversial song has now been video-ized. Here's my simple track review. Enjoy. Tune back in on 11/04/19 for my in depth interview with Tom Macdonald. Question Everything. Stay Uncomforta...

The question of the day is.... Joker is Dangerous.... Right? In a time where words are considered violence, the media would have you believe that everyone is a potential murderer, and the word "incels" is a thing, is it any wonder why Joker is the most talked about movie? On today's episode Remso Martinez and I break down the new Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by T...

This week Scott gets heated about the financial burden of funerals and other life events, and brings you hefty updates on Ukraine/Turkey/Syria, some sex trafficking busts, and another big dose of reasons to believe that Q is legit. Featuring an update on 8Kun, 8Chan's new name/predecessor. Tune in to get suitably paranoid, and don't forget...Stay Weird. SHOWNOTES:  https://twitter.com/Da...

The question of the day is… Who is Vermin Supreme? If you don’t know Vermin by now, then you haven’t been paying enough attention…. If you know Vermin and don’t love him, then you’re taking life much too seriously. Vermin Supreme is a satirist, performance artist, and most importantly, a 2020 presidential candidate of the United States. He has made a name over the years by bringing his boot cladde...

Hey! I watched another movie. Wanna hear me rant about it? El Camino is the Netflix film Breaking sequel that we didn't know we wanted. It tells the story of what happened to Jesse Pinkman immediately prior to the conclusion of Breaking Bad.  This review is spoiler heavy. You've been warned. Did Jesse live happily ever after? Is Walter White still alive?! All that and more on today'...

It's that time of the week; get your dose of semi-cogent, possibly entertaining, definitely interesting updates from the Q-niverse. We'll look at a few coincidental Q proofs, unpack the farce that is the impeachment, and take a look at what's likely coming down the turn pike. Featuring a passionate rant about--surprise--driving. Stay Weird SHOWNOTES:  https://twitter.com/DangusXx  ...

The question of the day is…. Do you like hearing about conspiracies?… Because today, you’re gonna hear about all of them. ;) Today’s episode is my conversation with Mike Hanson. Now, you may not recognize Mike by name, but if you’ve dabbled in the conspiracy rabbit hole for any length of time, you’ve likely encountered his work in one way or another. Mike is a former producer and camera man for Al...

This week we dive in to the numerous developments in the great whistleblower fiasco currently dominated the legacy media airwaves. From Adam Schiff and his plainly apparent meddling, to the actual Ukraine story and it's blossoming global scope, this one is sure to interest anyone who at least wants to know what's going on with this impeachment brouhaha. On top of that, we have the usual...

This week we spend some quality time together examining horrific Swedish child abuse on the global stage, the MASSIVE Ukrainian boomerang of death (Hunter goes to Kiev), and a handful of other smaller scope--but important--ancillary news items. If you were hoping for a show where the ADD is (mostly) restricted to only small portions, this might be the one for you. Also, if it intrigues you, human...

The question of the day is... Are words violence? Spoiler alert.... they're not. Now let's talk about Tom Macdonald's new album "Ghostories" Today's episode is a little different format than what we typically do around here. An interview had to be rescheduled, so I decided to fly it solo and talk about an album that's been on my radar for quite some time and on r...
