Show Notes:

Time loops. Vanishing yachts. Warm beer and confused captains. This week, the crew of Close Encounters of The Black Swirl stumbles straight into the Bermuda Triangle—where logic sinks faster than our cooler. Joeba Fett and Ripley Scott chart a (wobbly) course through infamous disappearances, sketchy science, and time-warp theories... while Zero might’ve been navigating with a margarita recipe.

Then it’s all hands on deck for our new segment, Zero’s Intercepted Distress Calls, where we play walkie-talkie mayday messages from across the cosmos—and then attempt to provide "rescue". So grab your sunscreen, pack a compass (just in case), and pray the beer doesn’t disappear mid-pour. Because summer’s here, the waves are weird, and the Bermuda Triangle just got… slurred.

Special Segment: Tangled In The Triangle” (The Mystery and the History)

We deep-dive into the Bermuda Triangle with the following:

- Where it is and why it’s a pop culture hotspot

- Famous cases like Flight 19, the USS Cyclops, and the yacht “Witchcraft”

- Possible (and very slurred) explanations:

Laugh Alert: ZERO Intercepts Distress Calls

Incoming walkie-talkie transmissions from deep within the Triangle! Each one more bizarre than the last. It’s up to our crew to respond, assist, and probably make things worse.

Show Notes:

Time glitched, music looped, and somehow we never logged out of the 1999 party. In this week’s Y2K special, Joeba, Ripley & Zero dust off their floppy disks and boot up old fears, from crashing planes to runaway pets. We’re diving headfirst into the millennium panic, sharing ridiculous Y2K stories, and playing “Y2K or Nay?”, where we expose the wildest (and weirdest) predictions of the era. So grab your cassette player, crack open a Crystal Pepsi, and prepare to spiral back into the digital void—because the year 2000 might have ended, but this kegger sure didn’t. Stay slurred, Dimension Hoppers!

Special Segment: Y2K or Nay?

Test your paranoia levels as we quiz ridiculous Y2K fears—were they REAL… or a total fabrication?
