We all occasionally read our horoscopes and have a good laugh, share with friends, or wonder what the hell it could possibly mean. But some take these things very seriously. On this episode we talk horoscopes and we dabble in astrology. We’re pretty sure we’re all astrologers now too. It doesn’t seem very hard to get that title. Grab a crystal, invite your favorite high society neo-shaman over, and let’s find out what your future holds. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

History Defeats Itself

Fix the Wobble

As marijuana becomes legal in more states and countries the debate about the legalization of all drugs continues to rage. So John set out to research and discuss one of his favorite things: weed! Join us as we talk about the history of cannabis, how it became illegal, and why Kevin is still hesitant to smoke out of a bong after an incident in high school. Spark up a J, order some Taco Bell, and enjoy along with us. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

Good Butt and Hot Stick

Everyone wants to live their best life. But in today’s tech-filled world of instant gratification and 24 hour accessibility, are we prone to constantly wondering if we could be living a better one? That’s what Greg set out to discover. On this episode we’re talking about FOMO, or, fear of missing out. Even as I was typing this I got a text message and stopped typing to check it. Was it important? No. But if I didn’t check it I would have been consumed by the thought of what it could be. Is it an emergency? Is it a new Instagram like? Did Conan O’Brien finally lift the restraining order and accept my friend request? I would never have known. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

Are You Still There, World?

There are a growing number of “prophets” appearing in this country who claim to be messengers for God. Sometimes their predictions are right, like when one predicted the Chiefs would win the Super Bowl in 2020. Most times they’re wrong, like when they proclaim that Donald Trump will win a second term, or that he’s been anointed by God, or that he’s not a complete piece of shit. Join along as as we talk about political prophecies, why the prophets are dangerous, and what happens when these so called prophets are wrong. Grab some sacramental wine and laugh along with us.

Lean Jesus Cuisine

Motivated by his desire to learn more about Valentine’s Day, John leads the crew in a discussion about holidays from around the world and across history. You’ll learn about the origins of holidays like Halloween, strange holiday traditions of yore that even include assault, and why John enjoys camping so much. (It’s not just the fresh air he looks forward to.) Join us as we celebrate every holiday in about an hour! Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

Keep the X in Xmas

Hangovers are no fun. Considering the nausea, headache, fatigue, and general malaise they cause you would think we would just abstain from alcohol. But do we? Hell no! We get right back on that horse. On this episode Greg teaches us all about the joy and wonder of hangovers. Grab some Advil, a little hair of the dog, and feel the pain along with us.

Pedialyte and Vodka

Let’s be honest, most people are terrible drivers. Not us though. We’re great drivers. Everyone else is the problem. But few things can get people more blind with rage than when someone wrongs them on the road. On this episode Kevin takes the crew for a ride as they discuss road rage. Get those middle fingers ready…because John isn’t using his blinker.

Road Jazz

We are so excited to be joining The Sonar Network that Greg and John went and got Covid. But that didn’t stop us from recording! Join us as John leads the crew in a discussion about propaganda and how it is used to tell us what to think. Because, let’s face it, we humans are easily manipulated. Mask up and enjoy the conversation!

Build That Gate!

We all yearn for the day when we can eat at restaurants without wearing Hazmat suits. But until then, come reminisce about it with us. On this episode Greg leads the way in a rousing discussion about dining out, restaurant experiences, and food. Plus John recounts an adorable story about stealing money from shitty teenagers. Pull up a chair and join us. Drinks are on Greg. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

 Is local news dying? The short answer is yes. The long answer is also yes. But there is still time to save it. On this episode of HDI Kevin rings in 2021 with a topic that threatens our democracy as we know it. Also John gets pretty drunk. Not intentionally...he's just a lightweight. Happy New Year, Mistorians!

Jeff. Goldblum.

 For the final episode in our series of episodes about things that make us uncomfortable Kevin reveals that he is not the biggest fan of heights. The crew discusses thrill seeking and adrenaline junkies in our most action packed episode yet! We recommend listening to this episode while free climbing or hang gliding.

Like a Twister I Was Born to Walk Alone

 In part two of our series of episodes about things that make us uncomfortable John confirms what everyone already knew: he's afraid of very optimistic people. Join us as we explore the benefits of optimism, the advantages of a pessimistic outlook, and John's feeling that extremely optimistic people are dangerous. Give it a listen. Or don't. What does it matter anyway? Sigh...

The World is a Flaming Dumpster

 Before Kevin's baby came into the world to dominate his life the crew recorded a quick series of episodes to publish while Kevin is out of commission. The theme: things that make us uncomfortable. On the first of the series Greg leads us in a conversation about enochlophobia. We know what you're thinking...what the hell does that mean? It means he has a fear of crowds. Another thing we know you're thinking: that guy is afraid of everything. You are correct.

I Don't Like Doing Peyote In Crowds

A biweekly comedy podcast where we explore if we, as people, learn from our history or if we're doomed to forever repeat it.
