Down for the Count: Top Ten Lists for Everything

There are conspiracy theories and actual conspiracies. In this special episode of Down for the Count, Scott and Michael risk it all to expose the truth about why an ancient method of communication is being suppressed.

The moon landing. Everyone who was alive at the time remembers it. Everyone else who has come after knows it has happened. At least, they should know it happened. Yes, there are people who, in the face of overwhelming evidence, don't believe people have gone to the moon. (Sighs. Pinches bridge of nose.)

If you work really hard, you too can think that the earth is flat. Why just believe that Elvis is alive or that Bigfoot exists when you can go full-on nutbar? Join Scott and Michael as they distort their brains trying to make sense of Flat Earthers.

Actually, people who believe in aliens are out there. The truth is pretty much what is all around you. In this episode, Scott and Michael discuss aliens and UFOs. Or are they UAPs? It's whatever the kids are calling the made-up stuff they think they see in the sky.

Because people can't get enough of how the stars affect them, here's part two of our coverage of Astrology. Editor's note: Multiple times in this podcast, Scott mistakenly used the term "astronomy" when he meant "astrology". We regret the error. However, he's a Capricorn, so what did you expect?

With Mercury in retrograde, Libra ascending, and the moon in Virgo, it's time to enjoy Michael and Scott discuss astrology.

It has been a few weeks since we released a podcast. We had every intention to record earlier, but unseen forces conspired to delay us. Some would say the unseen force was a virus.

Denial isn't only a river in Egypt. Elvis is still alive in the hearts of those out there who refuse to believe that he died in the can in 1976 after consuming massive amounts of drugs. Join Scott and Michael as they discuss the phenomenon of Elvis's life after his "death."

Join Scott and Michael as they discuss what you call more than one Bigfoot. Bigfeet? Bigfoots? Does it matter if they don't exist?

The simplest explanation is probably the correct one. Ha! That's that they want you to believe. Who are they? Well, let me point you to the internet where there are all kinds of theories on who "they" are. Join Michael and Scott as they introduce their next list of things that defy explanation.

From glorious nougat to the scourge of licorice, the impact Candy Land has had on world cuisine is immeasurable.
