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.

**Show Notes**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:

Hosts continue to spout absurdity. Immediate intervention required… *but also kinda entertaining.*"

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.

SYSTEM NOTES: "Hosts continue to be unmanageable." : “We needed to.

Tune in for unfiltered chaos, existential dread, and Zero quietly recalculating its life choices. Plug in, stay slurrrrrred, and prepare for incoming nonsense.

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!
