WetwiredPremium Episode 55: EngorgedWe could be talking about Trump punishing Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy with a humiliation ritual in the White House. Or we could talk about all the NAZI salutes at CPAC this year.
Instead, we’re escaping from the political brush fire to the world of movies. Just a few days after the Oscars, you might think we’d want to talk about any of the award winning films from the last year.
But you would be wrong.
No, we’re looking at a movie that was released in exactly one theater, Apple TV’s streaming hit, The Gorge.

WetwiredPremium Episode 15: Christiane Northrup and Maine Extremism feat Mooncat (Sample)For this episode, we have a conversation about Dr. Christiane Northrup and how she’s wiggled her way into the right wing extremist movement in Maine.
In her past life as a New Age, self-help guru, Dr. Northrup was a darling of daytime talk shows. She made appearances on crowd-pleasers such as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Super Soul Sunday (that’s another Oprah program), The View, Good Morning America, and Dr. Oz.
Christiane Northrup, once called an “enlightened angel” by fans, was at one time ranked among the 100 most trusted people in America by Reader’s Digest. Op...2023-04-2327 min
WetwiredPremium Episode 11: Bill Gothard, the Duggars, and the Advanced Training Institute (Unlocked)19 Kids and Counting Ran for seven years on the TLC network. The show centered on the daily routines and challenges of the religiose Duggars, Jim Bob and Michelle—and their 19 children.
In 2015, when he was 27 years old, Josh Duggar publicly apologized for molesting five girls, four of whom were his sisters when he was a teenager. The fifth girl was possibly a babysitter for the younger Duggar children.
In May 2022, Josh Duggar was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison followed by 20 years of supervised release and will have to...2023-04-161h 28

WetwiredPremium Episode 14: Ancient Aliens Live in Tucson (Sample)Is it possible that aliens have been steering humanity for years, hiding clues of their existence in such inconspicuous places as the Pyramids of Giza? Is the dawn of civilization a gift from cosmonauts from another world? Could the human race itself be the spawn of bestiality committed by Mork from Ork on our primate ancestors?
Scientists have never found evidence that we’re not actually Cylons. Surprisingly, before written language was invented in Mesopotamia, not much is written about human beings and our history. Happily, we can speculate wildly about what fantastic things could’ve been and if any pesk...2023-02-2525 minWetwiredPremium Episode 3: Air Nazi feat Karl Mamer (Sample)Sean and Jules talk with long time conspiracy researcher, skeptic, host of the Conspiracy Skeptic Podcast, and author of "The Skeptic's Book of Lists" Karl Mamer.

No more snowflakes, no more libtards. Instead, everyone is just under a hypnotic spell. Mattias Desmet wants to use mass formation psychosis to explain why otherwise good people don't agree with everything he says. Of course they would agree if only they just weren't hypnotized.
Jules and Sean try to make sense of Mattias Desmet's big new idea, mass formation psychosis—what it is, where it came from, and why it's just pop psychology that we'll all probably forget about in a month (or...2022-02-101h 57WetwiredEpisode 6: A Tale of Two Insurrections - Kazakhstan and January 6Sean and Jules talk about Daniel McCarthy's debate challenge to Trump.

We cut straight to some of the aftermath of the Jan 6 riot at the capitol, just how vaxxed the US is at the moment, and why shitty employers can't find workers. We end with some inspiration about the liberal moderate from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and his letter from Birmingham jail. We wrap up with our Wetwired Podcast resolutions and good wishes for 2022.

Negative 48 gathered his flock to Dallas, Texas on the anniversary of JFK's assassination, believing that the murdered president would return along with his deceased son JFK Jr., Robin Williams, Prince, Tupac, and Richard Pryor. Many of them are still waiting.

Sean gathers the threads of crypto-themed events, the Psychic Friends Network, Billionaire influencers, and Seasteaders into something that sort of looks like a theme.
