The Flat Earth Society is alive and thriving within The Anti-Matter Minute Dimension… and we’re here to suffer through it. This week, we found an actual Flat Earth podcast that takes itself way too seriously, so we’re doing what any responsible podcasters would do—playing it MST3K-style and ripping it apart.

But that’s not all! After the roasting ‘The Anti-Globe Trotters’, we take things even further with our OWN models (so step aside Copernicus!) where we create our own absurd Flat Earth models that are somehow even dumber than the real thing.

So grab a drink (but keep it level) and prepare to be brainwashed by government pigeons, because this episode is flatter than a bar mat at closing time.

🚀 Strap in, because it’s time to throw science into the black abyss of space! Stay slurred!

The Black Swirl's warp drive has been hijacked by pints of Guinness and drunken alternate timelines... and Joeba & Ripley are here to make sure it spirals out of control. In this St. Paddy’s Day special, we take the Anti-Matter Minute through an emerald-colored wormhole of chaos, rewriting superhero history one to many pints at a time. With such discussions as:

🍀 What If… Iron Man couldn’t snap because he pre-gamed too hard?

🦢 Introducing **The Gaelic Goose**—Bruce Wayne trades Gotham for Dublin, and a cape for feathers

⚡ The Flash gets a DUI… across four dimensions

PLUS: We spotlight and roast the forgotten, bizarre Irish superheroes Marvel & DC buried at the bottom of a pint glass.

Joeba Fett and Ripley Scott crack open the mystery of Jacob Barber’s extraordinary egg-shaped UAP retrieval claims in this hard-boiled episode of Close Encounters of The Slurred Kind. Alongside their usual Hyperspace Headlines (featuring runaway lab monkeys and linguistic anomalies), they dive into a particularly stinky edition of Would You Rather? before getting to the yolk of the matter in Scrambling for Truth. From Barber’s claims of psionic-controlled alien craft to a bizarre 4chan leak describing an organic, symbiotic UAP, this episode explores the key players, conspiracies, and the bizarre “Skywatchers” initiative—where Barber plans to summon a UFO. Plus, Joeba asks the real questions: Why is every UFO photo still grainy as hell? Why didn’t Barber’s team retrieve the crashed craft? And most importantly… what came first, the UFO or the alien? Stay scrambled, dimension hoppers—this one’s a mind-bender. 🥚🚀

Nonsense and the assistance of Brent Hand of Hysteria 51 fame.

[Error Code 502: Intoxicated Bandwidth Detected]

SYSTEM STATUS:

• Zero attempted real-time transcription... Result: [ERROR 400: Too Much Nonsense, System Overload]
• Logs corrupted due to excessive banter, questionable logic, and one incident involving a malfunctioning airlock. Reconstructing…

[Transcript Reconstruction: BEGIN]

: “Welcome to Slurred Lines, the only show where the script is a loose suggestion, and Zero still doesn’t get paid.”
: “To be fair, neither do we.”
: “Processing financial audit… [ERROR 601: Funds Not Found]”
: “Zero, that’s a feature, not a bug.”
: “Speaking of bugs, should we be worried about that blinking red light on the console?”
: “No need to panic. That’s just the ‘Abandon Ship’ alert.”
: “…Great.”

[Code 12B: Hyperspace Tangent Overload] – Ripley and Joeba discuss everything and nothing at the same time.
[Code 77X: Beverage-Spill Protocol Engaged] – A mid-recording drink disaster almost short-circuits Zero (again).
[Code 404: Coherent Thought Not Found] – Expect rants, questionable theories, and at least one moment where the hosts forget what they were talking about.

SYSTEM NOTES:

• "Hosts continue to be unmanageable."
• : “Ripley, did we just spend 15 minutes debating whether a Jawa could out-drink a Wookiee?”
• : “We needed to. The people demand answers.”

[Transcript Reconstruction: END]

This episode defies logic, reason, and several intergalactic broadcasting regulations. Tune in for unfiltered chaos, existential dread, and Zero quietly recalculating its life choices. Plug in, stay slurrrrrred, and prepare for incoming nonsense. 🚀✨

ERROR REPORT:Final System Report:

Buzz, crash, repeat! In this episode of Close Encounters of The Slurred Kind, Joeba Fett and Ripley Scott take flight into the chaotic world of drones. From real-life drone fails (because nothing says “oops” like a flying lawnmower) to outrageous drone inventions that should probably stay grounded, this episode is one wild ride. Plus, they debate the Superman trailer and dish on recent UFO hearings. Remember, dimension hoppers: Don’t drink and drone… but do stay slurrrrrred! 🚁🍻✨

Along the way, the duo dives into Hyperspace Headlines, featuring a bizarre linguistic phenomenon and the chaos of the Santa Con Bar Crawl. Special segments include Klaus or False, a quiz on wacky holiday traditions, and Klaus’s Naughty List, where fictional characters face judgment from the goat-bearded holiday enforcer. Grab some eggnog, lock the doors, and stay slurrrrrred!
