The Internet Explorer's Podcast is a comedy-ish, science-ish, history-ish, popculture-ish parody podcast where curiosity meets absurdity. Each week, self-proclaimed "internet explorer" Jimmy dives headfirst into the wildest, weirdest, and most questionable corners of the internet. He “researches” topics like DIY invisibility cloaks, medieval alchemy, and whether plants can feel pain—then confidently explains his findings to a real expert, who sets the record straight while humoring Jimmy’s misguided brilliance. It’s part curiosity, part chaos, and always a hilarious exploration of ideas you never knew you needed to hear. 

The Sovereign Origin Story of TIEP

This episode starts with a courtroom, a traffic stop, and a guy insisting that he’s "traveling" not "driving" because his vehicle is a private conveyance and the law doesn’t apply to him. That moment, that bizarre blend of internet confidence and legal gibberish, is what launched this entire podcast. Not because I believed it but because I couldn’t stop watching.

Before I explored gene editing, ancient mysteries, or MKUltra, I was completely obsessed with sovereign citizens. The flag fringe truthers. The UCC code whisperers. The people who think their...

In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we dive headfirst into the CIA’s most disturbing covert experiments: Project MKUltra. Specifically, we break down two of its darkest chapters --- Subproject 68, where psychiatrist Ewen Cameron used electroshock therapy, LSD, and drug-induced comas to forcibly erase and reprogram psychiatric patients, and Subproject 42, a government-funded experiment in real-world mind control where CIA agents spiked civilians' drinks in bars to test covert LSD delivery.

These Cold War conspiracies weren’t fringe.  They were declassified by Congress after decades of secrecy. We also look at...

In 1978, college student Steven Kubacki vanished while skiing along Lake Michigan. His footprints led out onto the frozen lake… and then stopped. No broken ice. No body. No explanation. Fifteen months later, he woke up in a field 700 miles away—with no memory of where he’d been, wearing someone else’s clothes, and carrying a bag of maps and receipts.

In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we dive deep into the chilling case of Kubacki’s disappearance, reappearance, and the eerie stretch of water known as the Lake Michiga...

In this episode, Jimmy welcomes back John Fike, a podcaster and YouTuber who’s spent years immersed in the Bigfoot community, interviewing people who claim to have had encounters. But this isn’t a debate about whether Bigfoot exists—John already believes he does. Instead, we’re diving into something even bigger: the culture of Bigfoot belief.

Why do people believe? Why do some fake sightings? And how do you separate genuinely compelling encounters from outright hoaxes? More importantly, what is it about Bigfoot that keeps people hooked generation after generation—from true...

In this episode, I break down why people believe in pseudoscience, how even smart people (including me) have fallen for it, and why bad science is sometimes just as dangerous as fake science. We’ll also play a fun little game I c...
