So, There Was...

I know, I know, we're late. Again. For the third time. But hey, at least we're in time for our two year anniversary of doing this podcast!Talking Points: Two year anniversary?!, Tesla's discovery, finger-licking good jewelry, and "Look at this photograph."

Oops, it looks like this episode was two days late. But never you mind that. What we're really worried about is the possibility of being sued by Garry Hoy's family.Talking Points: The return of InstaFacts, morbid Garry Hoy jokes (sorry not sorry), pole-vaulting defector, and the mystery man from Taured.

If you hear strange noises of a monkey in this episode, just ignore it. It's just the sounds of a failed comedy bit done by Bum.Talking Points: Monkey business, close encounters of the Elvis kind, stone heart, and Switzerland's loch ness monster.

So, we're late with this episode (two days late, to be exact). But better late than never, right? Right? Anyways, enjoy these premium goofs, which may or may not exist.Talking Points: Getting an upgrade (kind of), new Olympic sports? Spy kitty, the power of gay, and a flag destruction kit.

Surprise, surprise, we're not dead! Fortunately, we've returned from our three month hiatus and hopefully, hopefully, we'll be able to get back on track on releasing episodes.Talking Points: Spooktember, Top Tier: MMA nicknames, Coast Guard shenanigans, phone saves man from arrow, and the Pope hates cats?

We're not going to say we've gotten better at comedy, (because we haven't) but hopefully you can find a few laughs in our ill-fated attempt at making jokes.Talking Points: New segment: Top Tier, British sports commentary, McDonald's chicken surprise, and the Mad Major.

If you can't handle the nauseating amount of bee puns we make in this episode, that's okay. It's our fault this episode ran 15 minutes over time.Talking Points: A very interesting intro, 1800s predictions, Opium noodles, one thicc bee, terrible bee puns, and a short blue tape crisis.

What's that? A So There Was episode that's actually kinda funny? Complete with goofs (albeit dumb ones) and comedy? Impossible. (We're trying here, guys. For non-professionals, I'd say we had some good bits)Talking Points: Calorie oriented facts, Churchill UFO cover up?, Klingon interpreter, military-grade clouds, and Bum gets bamboozled.

Uh oh. It looks like we done did an oopsie. Due to Spring allergies and other such events, we weren't able to record a proper episode. That's on us. But please enjoy this compilation of episodes one through four.Timestamps: (01:16-06:14) Episode 1; (06:14-10:02) Episode 2; (10:02-11:26) Episode 3; (11:26-13:16) Episode 3; (13:16-15:03) Episode 4; (15:03-17:02) Episode 4; (17:02-19:45) Episode 4; (21:16-29:13) Episode 4

What's that? You're spending your time listening to our podcast? Well, isn't that unfortunate. You know you've hit rock-bottom once you've listened to the three of us desperately trying to be funny for about twenty and a half minutes. Thanks anyway.Talking Points: InstaFacts that aren't facts at all, Cuban false flags, Stalin's Falcons, and a raccoon-alligator friendship.

We hope you're doing well in these uncertain times, so while you're stuck at home, listen to our podcast. Do it. Do it now. Thank you. Seriously, stay safe out there.Talking Points: Goof juice, Ivan the totally-qualified-nurse, good ol' Congress brawlin', the greatest rags-to-riches story ever told, and gold rushes too many to count.

It's April 1st. So you know what that means. This episode was originally going to be released earlier, but as you'll soon hear, we messed up. Like, really messed up. So enjoy this poorly planned episode and remember, wash your hands. Talking Points: Mark Zuckerberg's weird challenge, Egyptian labor union, and underwater volcano sharks.

We admit, this episode isn't our most energetic (it's probably one of our most boring). That's mostly our fault because we ate before recording this, which was a huge mistake. Also, wash your hands... or else. Talking Points: A sixteen toed man?!, savage parakeet, Bum's illiteracy, Swedish sword girl, and an underwhelming fish story,

Nasty toothpaste? Yes. Government conspiracies? Definitely. Memes banned because a communist leader didn't like 'em? You bet. Better hold on to your memes, 'cause you're in for one, whale of a tale. Talking points: InstaFacts: a new segment, an ancient recipe, Government whales, and Pooh Bear memes.

Cover your noses for this one, 'cause Ivan just brought in an egg most foul. A real stinker. Also, a word of warning: whatever you do, DON'T eat eggs that reak of pee!

Kangaroos, dogs, and bears OH MY! It looks like we've had some technical difficulties in this episode. Please excuse our misbehaving microphone in this episode. Hopefully, we'll have the audio problem fixed by the next episode (and if we don't we'll have to eat our editor) Talking Points: A rampant kangaroo, bull and bear gladiators, and underpaid dwarfs...midgets? What's the proper way to say it? Intro/Outro music: Art of Silence by Uniq Interlude music: Lullaby by Joakim Karud
