Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson | Case File 391 Oct 12, 2026 3453 On a clear autumn morning in November 1953, two men walked onto the tarmac of Gardena Airport in Southern California, chartered a small two-seater plane, and took off into the western sky. They had only three hours of fuel in the tank and no filed flight plan. They were never seen again.The men were two amateur electrical researchers deeply embedded in the strange, burgeoning world of 1950s flying

Tehran Lights, McAfee's Last Tweet & the Shart Heard 'Round the Kitchen | PH 55 Oct 5, 2026 4035 Fifty years after Iranian fighter jets chased a blazing light across the skies over Tehran, the city looked up again. On a quiet September night, drivers on a busy highway filmed a strange swept-wing craft lit up end to end, hanging silently above the traffic. With the region at war and fears about nuclear programs at their peak, the timing raises an old question: do these visitors always show up

The Nahanni Valley | Case File 390 Sep 28, 2026 4243 Deep in the rugged, subarctic wilderness of Canada’s Northwest Territories lies a jagged scar of towering limestone canyons and untamed rapids. Accessible almost entirely by floatplane or treacherous river expeditions, this vast expanse is breathtakingly beautiful and steeped in a sinister, century-old reputation. To the Indigenous Dene peoples, parts of this wilderness have long carried deep tabo

Flock Cameras | Case File 389 Sep 21, 2026 3907 Mounted inconspicuously on suburban utility poles, streetlamps, and highway overpasses, an army of small, solar-powered black cylinders is quietly watching. In just a few years, one company has transformed from a niche neighborhood security startup into a nationwide surveillance network, blanketing American towns with automated license plate readers. Logging billions of scans every month, these AI

The Ruins of Great Zimbabwe | Case File 388 Sep 14, 2026 3653 Rising from the rolling savannas of southern Africa stands a sprawling medieval fortress carved entirely of granite—constructed without a single drop of mortar. The grand capital of a vanished trading empire that once spanned continents, boasts thirty-foot dry-stone walls and towering conical structures that have held their ground for nearly a thousand years. For centuries, early European colonize
The White River Monster | Case File 387
The White River Monster | Case File 387 Sep 7, 2026 4143 Beneath the murky, slow-moving currents of Arkansas’s White River lies one of the American South’s most enduring aquatic enigmas. First documented during the Civil War when it reportedly overturned a Confederate transport boat, the creature resurfaced with a vengeance in 1937, spotted by hundreds of eyewitnesses who described a massive, gray-skinned beast the size of a boxcar.The sightings became

The Disappearance of Jason Landry | Case File 386 Aug 31, 2026 3925 On a freezing December night in 2020, a 21-year-old Texas State University student packed his bags, loaded his car, and began the drive home to Missouri City for the holidays. He never arrived. In the early morning hours, his vehicle was found wrecked and abandoned on a desolate, unpaved gravel road in Caldwell County, Texas—miles off his intended route, with the lights still on and the keys still

Magic Chang, Costco Rage, and Byron Returns | PH 54 Aug 24, 2026 4935 Braden, Zel and Byron crack a few beers (three in, and Zel's already "high school right now") for a wide-ranging, unfiltered hang. Topics include: training for a triathlon while definitely not training for a triathlon, the case for a 24-episode Lord of the Rings miniseries, home winemaking chemistry gone wrong (cork taint is real, folks), the mythical "Magic Chang" beer of Thai
Trenches, Tranches, and the Singularity | PH 53
Trenches, Tranches, and the Singularity | PH 53 Aug 17, 2026 4380 The boys are finally back in the same room after a summer of wildfires, vacations, and triathlon training got in the way. Zel recaps his race getting cancelled (not for the smoke, allegedly) right as a new fire broke out near Summerland, BC — which somehow leads to a deep dive on 150 years of fire suppression, "super fires," and who's really to blame for the haze rolling up from Washin
Guy Fieri Didn't Swallow | PH 52
Guy Fieri Didn't Swallow | PH 52 Aug 10, 2026 4152 Zel no-shows for a "surprise" camping trip, Spider-Man: Brand New Day gets three spideys out of three, and the boys go deep on the Guy Fieri swallowing conspiracy. From there it's COINTELPRO and hip-hop, El Grande Americano stealing the show in Lucha, Conor McGregor's comeback odds, and a very detailed Coke Zero customer service complaint. Plus: kids, YouTube algorithms gone wrong,
UFO Crash Retrievals | Case File 385
UFO Crash Retrievals | Case File 385 Aug 3, 2026 3899 For decades, the idea of intact extraterrestrial craft hidden in subterranean military vaults was relegated to the fringes of science fiction and late-night radio. But in recent years, those wild whispers crossed the threshold into congressional committee rooms. A wave of high-ranking whistleblowers—former intelligence officers, defense officials, and decorated veterans—have stepped forward under

Smoke Screens, Super Pigs & the Denzel Doctrine | PH 51 Jul 27, 2026 4223 The boys are scattered, the internet's garbage, and Zell's nowhere to be found — but that won't stop a full power hour of unfiltered tangents. Wildfire smoke gets reverse-engineered into a UFO cover story (and a possible Bigfoot fire-starting conspiracy), JD Vance squirms on Rogan, Braden plots a mayoral run against a guy named Kermit, AM radio gets buried, and the trio settles once an
