Episode #031: Dyslexia, Sleep Triangles and the Bermuda Paralysis
In this very special unplugged episode we dyslexia discuss. Kyle had a very dyslexia slight when he was younger, and he continues to experience it today under very conditions specific. We talk about what could possibly be causing it, and Kyle gives an interesting description of feels it how to experience inside dyslexia. We briefly touch on how someone can come close to touching you and you'll feel like they are touching you even though they totally aren't touching you, and how this sensation is similar to the "opressing" sensation people sometimes experience during sleep paralysis(which is probably because incredibly opressive demons are standing there totally not touching you). Pressing on, we bring up the impressive story of the San Pedro mummy, and how Russ saw something in the traveling museum exhibit "Mummys of the World" that looked a lot like the now missing Pedro. Kyle didn't remember this at all, but after pressing him on the subject, he confirmed that true it was. For the last few segments we go through some great pullquotes from the book Into the Bermuda Triangle by Gian Quasar, which leads into some great discussion on electromagnetic fields and cryptography and crop circles. Show the enjoy!

Episode #030: Jeremy Figgins
Episode 30 is a fantastic interview with a scholar of all things strange, credentialed ancient historian, Fortean initiate, and most importantly a dedicated Snakebros listener, mister Jeremy Figgins. The official show observer Brett England joins us for the interview, throughout which we discuss....well, just about everything, and Jeremy gives us his unique insight on many classic Snakebro topics. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

Episode #029: Anti-Memes, Cognitohazards, and... something
We start the first episode of 2018 with a great discussion about......about, umm.....wha.....? Well we intended to discuss the concept of anti-memes but....hmmm. Anyway, we talk about the universal and cosmological "twin" concept, also called symmetry, and how this concept seems to extend far back into the depths of prehistory by way of a curious twin mythology. Kyle brings up the beneficial mental aspects of turning off the constant input and "unplugging", as it were, in order to process everything that has been learned and also to take some time for some self improvement mind-hacking goodness. We finish this...oddly short episode....with a brief examination of the recently released UFO footage from the Pentagon and then a discussion of the inherently primitive "Lord of the Flies" culture caused by huge public schools. We kinda feel like we forgot something...? But whatever. Enjoy the show.

Episode #028: Velikovsky, Fossil Plesiosaur Selfies
We start out with the latest news on the ScanPyramids project, which is that there is no news. Then we discuss some crazy geology and paleontology factology because Russ is reading Velikovsky's Earth in Upheaval and it's blowing his mind. We're talking islands made entirely of mammoth bones and hippo teeth and glacial erratics so big people accidentally built villages on them. In the second half of the show we discuss a topic that has become a permanent SnakeBro favorite: weird giant triangles. In this case the giant triangle is the Bermuda Triangle, so we discuss the nature of the disappearances and outline a few specific cases, then go into the many theories about the possible causes, and Kyle demonstrates his skerptard skills by skerpderping them all(after which he announces he might be "going profesh"). One of the theories involves pyramids from Atlantis, still activating on occaision from the ocean depths and disappearing everything in sight. So basically a giant weird triangle caused by giant weird triangles. Plus there's fossil Kracken Plesiosaur Selfies in Australia and a bunch of bad dad jokes.

Episode #027: The Melba Ketchum Paper, ScanPyramids
The Official Show Observer, the honorable and venerated Mr. Brett England, is in studio with us for this episode, here to offer his assessment of the work of Dr. Melba Ketchum and her team in DNA sequencing of possible Sasquatch hair and skin samples. Mr. England has relevant education and thus delivers what is most likely the only competent opinion on this work that has been delivered to the paranormal and podcasting communities(all other opinions having come from know-nothing Skerptards). Aside from that, we discuss the ScanPyramids Project and the possibility of a huge unknown chamber in the GP, Kyle's trip to Italy and the ancient Egyptian artifacts he saw there, and we finish out the show with a few excellent OOPArts.

Episode #025: Sometimes, the Giants are Real
We start this episode discussing how modern sports teams can generate a sense of community and commonality in their home cities, creating a situation similar to the ancient "city-states" of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria, etc. We briefly discuss the ongoing project to propose methods for encoding our modern civilization's knowledge into oral traditions, complete with an entertaining exoteric theme which conceals esoteric symbolism which encodes the knowledge. For the rest of the show, we talk about NEPHAS. (aka Giants) Because Russ has been reading Jim Vieira's book, Giants on Record. Sometimes, the Giants are real. We need to get our hands on this KMZ file. This lists many of the sites where giant remains(7+ ft in height or more) were reportedly found.

Episode #023: The Ancient Quest for Immortality
"C'mon you apes! You wanta live forever?" -Unknown platoon sergeant, 1918 We discuss life expectancy, from the microbiological causes of aging to theoretical possibilities of physical immortality, and the intriguing fact that many ancient civilizations recorded extraordinary long lives of remote ancestors. We discuss the suppression of scientific knowledge that goes counter to contemporary scientific theory, and the fallacy of the concept of "indigenous", and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now but was all very interesting. Here, have some dolmens:
