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...

What if the person you love most looked exactly the same but suddenly felt like a stranger?

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 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...

This week on The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy does something a little different—he hands over the reins to his good buddy, Cliff Hanger, who takes us on a wild ride through the world of Alternate Cut, where classic films get reimagined in entirely new genres.

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...

I did something reckless. No, I didn’t stare at the sun—but I did go deep into the bizarre world of sun gazing, where people genuinely believe that frying their eyeballs is the key to unlocking hidden energy, healing their bodies, and maybe even gaining superpowers. Spoiler: It’s not.

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...
