Anything & Everything & $hit... Podcast

The news feels like it’s glitching on purpose: one day it’s “war,” the next day it’s “victory,” then it’s “negotiations,” and somehow we’re all supposed to nod along. Justin and Erik have JP Sears kick things off with a ridiculous cold open, then pivot hard into the Iran Israel conflict narrative, the way public opinion gets steered, and why confusion is one of the most effective tools in modern propaganda.

They'll al...

You can walk through downtown Denver and never realize you’re standing on top of a different city. We get into the Denver Underground beneath Larimer Street, the buried storefronts and bricked-up corridors, and the official 1864 flood story that says the streets were raised over time. Then we lean into what still doesn’t quite sit right for a lot of curious people: the scale of the engineering, the quality of the brickwork, and why...

EP.17 - NASA is heading back to the Moon, but the weird part is how many people barely heard about it. Justin and Erik react to the Artemis II launch, why it felt like the date showed up out of nowhere, and how that kind of quiet rollout practically invites doubts. We get into the modern trust problem around space news, from flat earth arguments to the confusion people have when a livestream switches to computer models for tracking...

A movie that was mocked as a goofy 1980s alien flick ends up feeling like a field guide to modern life. Justin & Erik dig into why They Live still hits so hard, from the “glasses” that strip away the pretty filter to the uncomfortable idea that control doesn’t need lasers or spaceships. Sometimes it just needs money, incentives, and a population that’s too tired to fight the signal.

From there, we jump into one of the messi...

Ep. 12 2.21.26

First off, an enormous congratulations to the USA Hockey Team on their Gold winning Olympic season! On episode 12, we discuss how CERN is notorious for causing a commotion with our reality and now they’ve supposedly brought back demons from the future. There’s been a global satanic cult within the elite class for decades, but just how many decades is the question, and who are these people? The Navy wanted to be invisi...

A working phone booth sat 15 miles down a dirt track in the Mojave Desert, and for years it rang like it was waiting for the right person to pick up. AJ from the Why Files tells the Mojave phone booth story, how one strange number spread through the early internet, and why people drove for hours just to answer a call from a stranger. The farther you get from the city, the louder that ring feels, and we dig into the confessional vib...

Ever feel like reality is a half-step out of tune—time racing, people colder, headlines blending into the same script? We follow that off-kilter feeling to its source: attention. Events can be real while the frames wrapped around them are engineered to train our emotions and forecast our behavior. When inputs are curated, outputs get predictable—and that’s how power scales without showing its hand.

Justin & Erik unpack...

A playoff race derailed in real time. A fake spike, a silent replay buzz, and a ruling that reached back past the next snap—then bottles rained and the game was called with 48 seconds left. We walk through BottleGate frame by frame, talk through the letter of the rulebook versus the spirit of competition, and ask a bigger question: when institutions err, who pays the price?

From there Justin and Erik follow a darker thread...

A door swings open by itself, a siren howls outside, and adrenaline spikes before a single word is said—then we dive headfirst into the hardest questions about reality, power, and trust. We start with CERN’s Run 3: 13.6 TeV collisions, new exotic particles, quark–gluon plasma, antimatter experiments, and big questions about extra dimensions. Alongside the legitimate science, we explore why talk of portals, timelines, and the Mandel...

On this episode of Anything & Everything & $hit…Podcast, Justin & Erik discuss how Congress sneakily passes a law to shut down electric cars “for safety” reasons at will, time travel is real and AI has been around for decades, the issues surrounding dynamic pricing and AI driving up prices, draining your wallet, the crazy future AI has predicted, as well as Hollywood's twisted and demonic practices have been called...
