We made it to 100 episodes! Since one of our first episodes was about conspiracy theories, we thought that it was the perfect way to celebrate this big milestone. I can't tell you if we actually made it to 100 conspiracies, but I can at least say we probably had a combined 100 units of beer.  Thanks for sticking with us this long, and here's to 100 more episodes of insanity!   Support Us: If you enjoy the podcast, please consider rating and reviewing wherever you listen to podcasts.

He proudly served his country in the Korean War. Some say he was the best cook Uncle Sam ever had—slinging hash for the fighting 103rd. He was a salesman who once spoke to the Unification Church leader Sun Myung Moon. He enjoys collecting TV Guides, invented an alternative to Christmas (Festivus), and developed a male bra to hold up his bosomy chest. I am talking about none other than Queen's Frank Costanza, who appeared in 29 episodes of Seinfeld. Of course Frank is fictional, but to insane Seinfeld fans like ourselves, he is an archetype in our model of reality. So enjoy this tribute episode to one of the greatest TV characters of all time.

   You've probably heard of the big hairy upright-walking ape-like monster known as Bigfoot. Maybe you've even seen one of them...or maybe your camera lens is dirty. Also known as Sasquatch, this beast is thought to roam the forests of North America. But is this all bullshit? Or is there something being hidden here? I don't know, but it was certainly fun to get drunk while trying to figure it out.

 Many years ago, Luke and Johnny Genie lived together in a legendary house. To those who partied there, it was known as "The Burrow". To those who lived in the quaint neighborhood within which The Burrow existed, it was known as the asshole party house that got loudly waisted most weeknights. Either way, there are many great stories from that time. Enjoy our nostalgic and psychotic walk down memory lane as we reflect on our time at "The Burrow".

It's only been a week since our last coronavirus episode, but too much happened to talk about anything else. In this episode, we talk about various coronavirus updates including the potential UBI that will be sent to Americans while we are stuck at home and out of work.      How much money will we get? How does the Federal Reserve just print money? How does federal debt work? We can't promise you'll get complete answers to any of those questions, but we definitely tried to answer them.

If you take a strictly materialistic perspective on the world, then you could argue that a human being is essentially a meatball. We are just a conglomeration of atoms that happen to have consciousness. But the religious person could argue that this revelation removes meaning and purpose from the world. Is objective reality the only truth we should believe in? Should the word “believe” even be in the same sentence as "objective truth"? Can you capture the beauty, meaning, and mystery of the human experience through only the objective and fact-based world of science? This episode explores the tension between these viewpoints over some delicious craft beer. And we may or may not also explore what it would be like to make spaghetti and meatballs on the space station.   Click here to read the blog post for this episode, and check out our website for episode clips and other extras at: www.thunktankpodcast.com Click here to see the Youtube Video for this episode!!
