Mal’s been slammed, so Jordan rounded up a bunch of good stories to serve up like a pile of gifts on a platter.

First, why are people shining lasers at walls while tripping on DMT?

Next, we need to discuss the fact that JD Vance is on record believing UFOs are actually demons. What does that even mean? (Hint: it probably doesn’t mean anything about UFOs or demons.)

Finally, were there really thousands of dead giants buried in Ohio?

Who knows! We certainly don’t. But also, do we even want to?

We’re here for the magic, the mystery, and the egregious political exploitation of Christianity.
