We skip the off-top to talk about swooping which turned out to be the off-top all along. Swooping is a skydiving discipline involving high performance parachutes and parachute pilot and the crowd-pleasing act of exercising serious parachute energy management. Wow, I just made something really thrilling sound really boring. So after that skydiving-related discussion, Josh talks about how he is TOTALLY not an assassin and like, totally doesn't even WANT to be an assassin man. He just thinks if he WAS an assassin, it MIGHT be kind of cool. Hypothetically. He's talking about the thrilling Greg Hurwitz book series: Orphan X.   Off-top Links and References: Canopy Coach Nick Batsch   Content: GH Talks his Writing Process Real Life Assassins More Real Life Assassins Even More!

Move over ya dumb, outdated IQ test. On today's episode, Josh shows support for the theory there are nine intelligences that should be considered in all school curricular. Things like Logical-Mathematical, Linguistic, Interpersonal... but don't read about them here ya dumb dumb! Hear Josh talk about it! And also check out the infographic. Then Brett wraps up with some Muay Thai ropes so he can finally get a good content beatdown on one of his all-time favorite shows of, um, well all-time. Yes I said that already but he really, really likes this show. And so does everyone else right now thanks to some recent related MCU easter eggs! He's talking the heroic growth of Karen Page, the whiny bitch turned badass Foggy Nelson and the blind lawyer "devil-of-Hell's-Kitchen" Matt Murdock, all thanks to the Netflix Marvel TV Series: Daredevil.   Off-top Links and References: 9 Intelligences Infographic   Content: Karen Page: The Future Voice of the MCU's everyday Heroes Daredevil Stunt Double Chris Brewster Interview Hallway Fight Scene   Follow Us: All of our links!

On today's episode, Brett finds his way back to the show to spread the word about a supremely haunting and incredibly poignant robot art piece that was slowly "dying" despite its best efforts to survive by continually shoveling hydraulic fluid back into its leaky reservoir.  Then Josh takes on a similarly challenging task to convince the world of one thing: Andrew Garfield is the BEST live-action Spider-Man in a world filled by both Spidered-Men (new and old) and fans filled with Spider-Mania. The ultimate source for this potentially Spider-Earth shattering revelation? The Marc WEBB (ha) directed film, The Amazing Spider-Man... or as Josh calls it: TASM.

And we're back! Sometimes. On this episode, Josh dives into the dark history of the Shaka hand signal, how its origin is based in brutal hand mangling and how it has been adopted by the terminally cool and the socially awkward alike. Then Nick discusses the not-so-widely-known world of the mid-nineties multiplayer text-based games hosted on standalone servers. Anyone could dial into one of these servers, called "BBSes," as long as they had a modem. Guest host (and the world's third contentologist) took advantage of these super computer nerd's network and became quite fond of several of these games. Nick walks us down memory lame, covering these simple yet great BBS Door Games and ultimately asks the question, what makes a game good? The answer may lead Josh and Nick to burn their XBoxes and PlayStations! He's talking: Barren Realms Elite (BRE) and Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD).   Off-top Links and References: Dark History of the Shaka   Content: BBS Door Wiki Legend of the Red Dragon Barren Realms Elite Synchronet BBS List What Makes a Good Game?   SPECIAL PLUG: (...seriously, these dudes and their show are awesome...)   The Don't Assume Podcast   Follow Us: All of our links!

According to Nick, there is a major problem with our modern society. Not quite sure what he means... all seems to be running smoothly; no cause for concern. Psych! It's a shitshow! And Nick believe on possible reason why is both somewhat obvious and yet also rarely recognized. The conflicts within our society do not see the two opposing sides on the same page as to what is even being discussed and adding to the problem? Our rapid-fire low-bandwidth modern forms of "conversation" boiled down to 240 character limits on Twitter, comment-based dialogue on social media posts, 24/7 news headlines, and sound bites. No real solutions are being proposed. Maybe Keanu and FlipSixThreeHole can solve all our problems! After that, Josh covers one of his favorite shows featuring one of his favorite actors playing one of his favorite vigilantes. It's justice time. Vengeance time! SKULL TIME!

It is safe to say that probably everyone has heard about the tragic news that happened on the set of "Rust" after an accidental fatal shooting occurred. On today's episode, Josh discusses a prop gun technology that does not sacrifice authenticity but undoubtedly improves safety. Unfortunately, this product was shelved but recent events just might be the catalyst that inspires funding to bring back the simulated firearm: the "Violette." After that, Brett talks about a book that captured his imagination as a youth and still provides some philosophical inspiration (and aeronautical information) as an adult. We talk seagulls and skydiving, both relevant to the Richard Bach novella: Jonathan Livingston Seagull.   Off-top Links and References: The Story of Violette   Content: Jonathan Livingston Seagull Top Five Regrets of the Dying   SPECIAL PLUG: (...seriously, these dudes and their show are awesome...)   The Don't Assume Podcast   Follow Us: All of our links!

What rhymes with ass murveillance? You guessed it, mass surveillance! On today's episode, Josh and Nick discover "totally-not-a-robot" Mark Zuckerberg and the recent news about Facebook's rebranding to Meta. Are the roots of the Meta concept ripped straight from a sci-fi novel? And does this have the potential to change the world of video games, connectivity, communication and more? Also, are we doomed?! After that, Josh deep dives into the art collective that revolutionized the Santa Fe art scene and went on to create three unbelievable art installations unlike anything else on the planet.

Hydra Vu-whatnow? Is this some kind of nearly immortal fresh water polyp? Actually... yes. That's exactly what it is. This weird looking creature has quite an enviable superpower (immortality) and a biological trade off that might make you question whether you'd want to live forever. After Josh talks Polyps, Nick talks People! Well one person in particular, J. Bach. No, not Johann Sebastian Bach! The other Bach.

Have you ever wondered how individual units interact to create highly complex and interconnected processes that sometimes give the appearance of intelligence? Think ant colonies... fungal networks... Insane Clown Posse gatherings...   Well, guess what Juggalo, there is a science for that! And Nick is going to talk about it. (Or are the organized molecules that make up Nick and everything else pre-determined to discuss the science of complex systems? Who knows). After that deep dive, Josh dives even deeper while discussing content that expertly walks the line between hardcore horror and universal appeal. This popular TV series utilizes the 9th season to deconstruct the 80s slasher genre while dipping it's big content toe into the real-life world of American serial killers as major characters.

Looks like there's a new Contentologist in town. (It's a real thing.) Nick is sitting in for Brett in a Content Clearinghouse first but the format will remain! On today's off-top, Josh is talking about a bizarre book, an encyclopedia in fact of things that don't exist. Then Nick knocks it out of the park for his first episode as a full-on content co-host by discussing a sci-fi classic of epic (and campy) proportions. It's original, it's entertaining, and it features Kevin Bacon. Nick is discussing the 1990 film that some would call "flawless:" Tremors.   Off-top Links and References: Codex Serephinianus   Content: Stampede Entertainment Website Seeking Perfection Book Rare Pre Production Concept Photos 48-Hour Film Project My Team's 48-Hour Film Project Entry Liquified Sand w/ Air (Cavitation!)   SPECIAL PLUG: (...seriously, these dudes and their show are awesome...)   The Don't Assume Podcast   Follow Us: All of our links!

Brett talks feral kids on this episode... probably not surprising but the reality of the "real-life Mowgli" did not have the happy life or Hollywood ending portrayed in Disney's The Jungle Book, content inspired by the feral child Dina Sanichar. Josh then gets into conspiracies, war profiteering, future tech and all the things that make sci-fi both awesome and terrifying. He's discussing (and highly recommending!)

Josh and Brett discuss behind-the-scenes stories related to Jurassic Park's hydraulic Tyrannosaurus rex and it's scares both on and off screen. Then Brett tackles "background" content that is so prevalent, it's well-known twists and laughs are memorable and yet rarely thought of as an entertainment genre of its own.

Will your cute little kitty cat consume your corpse? On today's episode, we discuss this morbid but surprisingly popular question. Chances are, you already know the answer. Spoiler alert, it's "yes."

On today's episode, Josh takes another long, hard look at famous UFO/UAP footage due to the convincing skeptical VFX experts attempting to find a more down-to-earth explanation for the anomalous objects caught on film. Josh... how dare you doubt the obvious fact: extraterrestrials are here! Then Brett tackles a book that's been on his list for awhile, one that shockingly not everyone has read, yet. This incredible piece of literature has had an enormous impact on the world and undoubtedly every single person who has consumed this content has been changed in some significant way. The author tells his real-life story, one of a psychiatrist who ends up in WWII concentrations camps, looking for meaning despite being surrounded be seemingly nothing but suffering and death.

How can Coca-Cola make you millionaire? Well if it's the 1920s and you're in Quincy, Florida, I'd go ahead and take that investment advice from your banker Pat.

On today's episode, Josh gets into Disney's Spiderman robots, Jeff Bezos' big ol' rocket and we even do some chit-chatting about his weekly off-top topic of discussions, old times pistol dueling and the (almost) Olympic status the sport achieved. After that, Brett offloads his fervent and only partially organized thoughts about what a naughty man Walt is... a fact only clear to Brett after a second viewing of one of the infamous Neo-western crime dramas (and one of the best television shows to date). It just so happens that the bylaws in the contentology contract clearly communicate the conditions of a consecutive cumulative rewatch when it comes to content of a such a celebrated standing and as contentologists, we heed the call.

We've all heard Quentin Tarantino is passionate about more than just making great films... he loves feet, cocaine and connecting his movie universes with plenty of easter eggs.

It's hot one in Brownsville, Texas! When is it not?! We somehow manage to push through it so that we can continue our most important mission in life: delivering content recommendations indirectly into your earholes. On second thought, this "we" is really just "me" because Josh was sitting in an air conditioned house in Colorado, the way God intended. I'm so warm. Someone send help. So on this week's off-top, we bring you an inspiring personal story from local Colorado skydiver Jim Armstrong. Despite (or maybe because of?) his battles with depression, Jim decided to GO JUMP OUT OF A FUCKING PLANE... his words, not mine. After watching video of a wingsuit BASE jumper on YouTube, a clip he suspected might actually be a digitally edited fake, Jim was soon preparing for his first tandem at 52 years old. I have the pleasure of jumping with him regularly and can personally attest: Jim is a bonafide badass. I know our listeners will appreciate his candid honesty; we sure did! After that, Josh looks past the glitches (and even embraces some) while playing and discussing a newer piece of content that was widely anticipated, well over-hyped and a catalyst for Covid-era video game drama.

Not for knot-tying talk like Josh intended but for the dark reminder that the Boy Scouts of America are known for being involved with some pretty seriously bad sex abuse scandals.

Brett discusses the foreign Netflix sensation "Money Heist" (thanks for the content recommendation DV!) and looks into a few real life heists that seem to crazy to be true. Then Josh lightens the mood with a war movie about shrapnel, mines and presumably limbs getting blown off. I hate to say it... but I'm going to have to watch this movie.

Josh discusses the dubious Soviet Russia safety program during the space race, including the first ever space fatality of Cosmonaut Komarov. In fact, both the US and the USSR had space program fatalities in 1967: the Soyuz 1 and the Apollo 1 (the latter being during training on the ground). I just realized that even if it involved space-age technology, I might be inclined to avoid being a part of a number "1" of anything like this. Speaking of numbers, Brett gets lost in the elegantly simple but beautiful (and addictive!) number tile game that he's been playing for waaaay too long and probably way too much.

Yikes. Wow. Nature is metal. Josh continues with his Mother Nature off-top Trent kick by discussing a bird of prey that has some, um, unique murdering methods. The shrike is a brutal badass birdie. Then Brett tries to get all science-y when discussing an episode of his favorite podcast, Making Sense. Sam Harris has a conversation with prominent thinker Iain McGilchrist, a man who has thought about the division in our brains (and all brains!) for over three decades. Philosophy, psychiatry, literature... this fellow does it all. Including blowing my mind(s) with facts about our divided brain!

You can buy anything on eBay. Even authentic parts from Delta's last flying 747-400 aircraft. Get our (un)professional recommendations on what to buy from seller whaletailsales right here! Then Josh mixes genres and melds minds with his recommendation for a sci-fi action film we BOTH love. Get the skinny on why this follows the video game action format to a T and don't bother sending us your disagreements. Contentologists are always right when it comes to content. (Except when we're not. But this isn't one of those times.)

What's more frightening than a bird of prey? A bird of prey with flames. That's right, some birds have learned to harness the power of fire to attack prey. (Is this really life?!) Then Brett recommends you check out that show everybody loves and you've heard so much about (that's like The Office, except you know, better) but never got around to watching. Sure, we aren't on Covid lockdown anymore... but doesn't mean you can't make some time to binge watch the crap out of this top-notch mockumentary sitcom about a mid-level bureaucrat: Parks and Rec.   Off-top Links and References: Firehawk Raptors Research Video: Firehawk Raptors at Work   Content: Entertainment Weekly: One of the great Hollywood tragedies.

You heard it here first: CLAMS CONTROL WATER SUPPLY. That is, if you live in the Polish city Poznan. Seriously, this is some pretty cool sciencey stuff we're doing replacing high-tech sensors with molluscs. Then Josh recommends you get your laptop out to consume the horror film that takes place... pretty much entirely on a laptop. This movie will hit home if you've spent most of the last year on zoom and other video-chat apps. I watched this movie after Josh recommended it... and I found it terrifying. You'll want to cover up your webcam (which apparently Mark Zuckerberg does too!) after you watch this little-known slasher film from the mind of Zachary Donohue: The Den.   Off-top Links and References: Poznan Clams Control Water Supply   Content: The Den Full Movie Link Blair Witch Marketing eBay Gangstalking Gangstalking Fair Game Mark Zuckerberg Taped Camera taping your laptop camera may do more harm than good... *rolls eyes*   Follow Us: All of our links!

You wouldn't think a former world-champion and multiple world-record holding skydiver like Josh would be crippled by existential dread... but there is nothing more frightening to the otherwise intrepid contentologist than ejections of plasma from our closest star, the Sun. (Don't bother wiping off those tears of dread. Catch them for safekeeping in your fear journal!) Brett then shoots his web of content related opinions all over one of his absolute FAVORITE pieces of content. (He says absolute FAVORITE a bit much, amiright?) This truly is a masterpiece of animation, storytelling and well, everything else. Get ready for all the various "spider-people" because we're falling into the multi-dimensional movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.   Off-top Links and References: CME Superstorm 2012 Carrington Event Quebec 1989 CME   Content: Into the Spider-Verse Trailer Into the Spider-Verse: Dazzling, Hilarious & Unique Multiverse Wiki   Follow Us: All of our links!

Today, by some content coincidence, we're BOTH talking food. On today's off-top, Brett talks about the self-mummifying buddhist monks who utilize an extreme ascetic diet in conjunction with their intense meditation practice to achieve a state of perceived immortality. You have to check out the photo... if you dare. Josh then gets deep into wind tunnels and the training course that started his iFly career: FITP (aka the Flight Instructor Training Program). What could have inspired this epic sidequest? Why, Gordon Ramsay's popular reality television show of course! If you can't stand the heat... never mind. Just check out this great TV show that involves a lot of cooking and a LOT of cussing: Hell's Kitchen.   Off-top Links and References: The Buddhist Art of Mummifying Yourself Sokushinbutsu Wiki   Content: Gordon Ramsay's Early Life Gordon's Weight Loss Wind Tunnel Content: Team Collective!   Follow Us: All of our links!

On today's off-top, Josh talks about the latest martian rover: Perseverance. Also in CCH news: we're not the only country with a robot on another planet! Is everyone moving to mars? Honestly, I can't wait to buy my first Martian Starbucks coffee with Dogecoin after I buy a Musk Airlines space flight ticket with my Gamestonk tendies. Brett then boards the under-appreciated movie train to talk about one of his favorite sci-fi films that seemed to have slipped through the cracks of the mainstream. Bong Joon-ho directed this dark, action-packed masterpiece that explores plenty of themes and concerns relevant to today's growing wealth inequality and large-scale issues that science hopes to tackle.

On today's off-top, Brett stumbles upon UAPtheory.com, a website putting forward a plausible theory for the technology behind UAPs/UFOs insane accelerations that seem to defy physics. This theory adheres to the number one rule: the laws of physics cannot be broken. Then Josh repeatedly states he is not an MMA expert but continues to show us why he's a CONTENT expert. He gets into a show with broken families, toxic competition and addiction - this is not content for the faint of heart. It's time for the dramatic and intense TV series: Kingdom.    Off-top Links and References: UAP Theory A new way to visualize General Relativity   Content: Pushing Kids to Succeed Paradox Cutting Weight for Kingdom Anderson Silva KO MMA Mental Toughness   Follow Us: All of our links!

On today's off-top, Josh dives into the theory that every single Pixar movie exists in the same universe. The Pixar Theory might be considered by some to be a bit of a stretch... after all, the "PCU" is definitely not obvious like the MCU but it is still a pretty interesting possibility! Then, Brett discusses a book that opened his mind to the idea that the same driving force behind the evolution of biological life is driving technology to follow the same path; apparently technology is just another branch in the kingdom of life. Kevin Kelly is the mastermind who authored the incredible work of non-fiction: What Technology Wants.   Off-top Links and References: Pixar Theory Synopsis Official Theory Page   Content: What Technology Wants Kevin Kelly Out of Control Life Countdown Clock True Films The Unabomber Was Right 25-Year-Old Bet: Has Tech Destroyed Society?

On today's off-top, get your tendies by following our meme-based stock tips. Rule #1: HOLD with DIAMOND HANDS! (Obligatory disclaimer for SEC listeners: we are not financial advisors. This is not financial advice. We are but simple contentologists and definitely not moneyologists.) After that confusing rant from an upset smooth-brained ape attempting to overthrow all evil capitalists by buying an overpriced stock THAT I LIKE, Josh gets sucked into the allure of space... again. This is the video game to end all video games. (There is a lot of hyperbole in this episode.) Seriously though, the twists and turns between planets, gravity wells and potential extraterrestrial contact in this open-world flight simulation make this episode a must-listen for any video game geek that's looking for a virtual part-time job in the cosmos.

It's all about space on this episode of The Content Clearinghouse. No, pairing these subjects together really wasn't planned... it's just two space nerds on the same content wavelength. First up from Josh: Trans-Neptunian objects, Pluto's fate, Nibiru and good ol' UFO disclosure wrapped up into the Covid relief bill. Then Brett dons his NASA socks to gush about sexy, nerdy Jodie Foster and hunkiest of hunks Matthew McConaughey and the tug-of-war they represent between Science and Religion.

We're searching for the truth about Bigfoot on this special "cycle" of The Content Clearinghouse. Is he real? According to many experts who have analyzed the famous Patterson-Gimlin film... yes. Not to be outdone, some guy in Utah claims to have caught our big, hairy friend on camera recently. Then Josh gets ready to talk beautiful people and terms I'm not familiar with like tooch, smizing and H2T. Get ready to be surprised by this television series: ANTM. Boom... boom...

Who would have guessed that a cigarette company is responsible for one of the sneakiest and downright insidious marketing loophole schemes ever. Oh... everyone you say? Good point. Josh hits pause on contentology and dives into graphicology on this off-top you don't want to miss. Then Brett gets into another comedy TV series from HBO that's an only-slightly fictionalized version of the self-professed "fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" from New Zealand.

WE ALL SURVIVED 2020! Are we finally out of the woods? Not according to Nostradamus. Supposedly there are some predictions out there for things to come from a man who lived in the 1500s who has been known to make some eerily accurate (or just exceptionally vague?) poetic premonitions. Then Josh gets into some of his all time favorite content and then talks about the speed of light, like, a lot. So strap in for some hard sci-fi space battles and galactic politics with the John G. Hemry aka "Jack Campbell" book series: Lost Fleet.    Off-top Links and References: Santa Claus in a Snowglobe InnerBox Designs Pixar's Soul Trailer Nostradamus Wiki yearly-horoscope.org... a very trustworthy news source   Content: The Lost Fleet Series True physics of SPACE BATTLES Helios Satellites?

Josh can't wait to compare sizes! No, not that. It's spaceships! In this episode's off-topic section, Josh discusses the incredible CAA (Content Appreciation Artwork, it's a real thing), a contribution by Dirk Loechel and shared on Deviant Art. Check it out, maybe print it out! Then Brett continues to tunnel inwards towards the existential dread that is the reality of our reality... what kind of content inspires such reflection and alarm?

This episode's off-topic section is all about that #puppylife. Mando the Kooikerhondje just arrived and he is undoubtedly the best puppy in the universe. Then Josh goes underground in ANOTHER post-apocalyptic world. If there is one thing Josh loves more than talking about mutant and the end of the world... it's Russia?

Bomb's away and Seinfeld on crack! In this episode's off-topic section, Josh discusses a video he discovered on facebook (that's only on facebook) posted by Dark Facts from Dark5. Apparently spinning, bouncing bombs were engineered during WWII to bust German dams with Operation Chastise. Although the mission was not exactly a success, it was... kind of a success? Then Brett finds humor in one of the greatest cult hits on television. In fact, 'Always Sunny' is about to break the record as the longest running live-action comedy series in history with the upcoming 15th season. This cringey, taboo-tackling humor may not be for everyone... but it is for us.

In this episode's off-topic section, Brett shares a classic viral video with Josh titled "Amazing Jumping Sun Dog Crown Flash." If you have never been lucky enough to witness this rare weather phenomenon (and even if you have!) it is worth a watch. Josh then finds himself neck deep in government documents... but not the boring kind. In fact, he recently discovered a whole world of collaborative "crowd-sourced" fiction. Literally thousands of entries for... "objects" that require special containment procedures.

In this episode's off-topic section, Josh talks about the "most dangerous race in the world," the Isle of Man TT. It is definitely worth checking out our off-top links below to watch these intense motorsport participants fly (literally at moments) around the track reaching speeds in excess of 200 mph. Brett then tries to bring some post-halloween spook into November (because he kind of missed his favorite holiday) with a horror sci-fi film set in a 2020 world that requires near ABSOLUTE SILENCE.

In this episode's off-topic section, Brett talks about what he's been doing the last two weeks and really, the last two years. (Spoiler alert: he wasn't just taking a soak in Brett-juice.)
