A reverse alien abduction theory hits the air. And somewhere between Simpsons lore and SNL sketches, things get weird — fast.

Shane, Ryan, and David unpack the absurd, the nostalgic, and the almost-plausible as they spiral from travel warnings into alien conspiracies, pop culture’s obsession with space visitors, and the magic of James Earl Jones voicing a cartoon. It’s part blizzard report, part media roast, and part trip to Roswell — with talk of AI panic, smart speaker surveillance, and what makes people believe the unbelievable.

Plus: why some people should never skate, and how holidays unlock just the right amount of chaos.
