Introduction to the "Believe it or Not" one-minute filler episodes used by stations to fill in programming schedules. They were mini-episodes of the series "Ripley's Believe It or Not." You will hear 4 back-to-back episodes with some actual old radio commercials separating each track... The episodes in order of play are: Strange Vigil; Man of Letters; When Will He Die? and The World's Richest Heiress. This is a popular series on this podcast and it lives in a playlist cleverly titled "Believe It or Not"

"Is This Anything?" is a show where four friends and professional comics (Rob Ryan, Anthony Kapfer, Brett Druck, and Jarret Berenstein) take turns pitching each other their new stand-up joke ideas. From top notch to total duds, each idea gets tagged, punched up, and riffed on until eventually it's something.

Built in 1887 the Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum in St. Augustine, Florida is actually a castle named Castle Warden that was converted into a hotel. The old building was also the scene of a mysterious fire in 1944 that claimed the lives of two ladies. Was the fire an accident or was the deadly blaze set to cover up a murder? Either way, the museum is said to be haunted by one of the ladies who perished in the hotel fire. Join us as we take a deep dive into Castle Warden.

Robert Ripley was born in 1890. He became a newspaper cartoonist, then a movie, Network Radio and television personality. His "Believe It Or Not" panel appeared in 326 newspapers in 38 countries and translated into 17 languages. In 1930 he began his radio career that ebbed and flowed until he died on May 27, 1949.

He spent 52 years of his life traveling the world gathering up many strange oddities. He put his collection into a display for the Chicago Worlds Far in 1933 and the attraction was a smash hit, attracting over 2 million paying guests. These "Believe It or Not" episodes will be stored in the playlist "Believe It or Not!"

On their website, they note that LGBTQ individuals suffer more hate crimes than any other protected group, which makes disarming hate a crucial LGBTQ issue. The National Center for Transgender Equality is the nation’s leading social justice advocacy organization winning life-saving change for transgender people. They work at the local, state, and federal level to advance transgender equality. Their services also include resources for trans people on navigating legal issues such as changing the name and gender on their identification documents and an About Transgender People resource hub, where family members and other allies can go to find information to learn about and support the transgender people in their lives.

GLSEN (pronounced "glisten") is a the leading national education organization that works to transform K-12 schools into safe and affirming environments and ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment. 8 out of 10 LGBT students are still harassed at school each year because of who they are, but GLSEN is working to change that through researching and developing evidence-based solutions, and providing resources for educators to use in their school communities. The LGBTQ Victory Fund is the only national organization dedicated to electing openly LGBTQ people to all levels of government.

The Gill Foundation is one of the nation’s leading funders of efforts to secure full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. The foundation offers grant funding to nonprofits that work to advance equality through research, education, policy, and the legal system.

Founded in 1994 by philanthropist Tim Gill, the foundation has since invested more than $335 million in programs and nonprofit organizations throughout the country. The It Gets Better Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting, empowering, and connecting LGBTQ youth across the globe. In 2010, Dan Savage and his partner, Terry Miller, started a global movement with these three words. It began as a widespread social media campaign to provide hope, encouragement, and community to LGBTQ youth, and has now evolved into a major platform, reaching millions of young people each year. Their ultimate goal remains the same: showing LGBTQ youth that although growing up isn’t easy, no one has to do it alone.

In 1824, a merchant working between Singapore and Bangkok saw what he thought was some kind of human animal—a creature with two heads, but only two arms, swimming in the Chao Phraya River. This week, Brent and Ryan discuss the legendary conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker. These twins began as duck sellers in their humble village, traveled as sideshow performers, and eventually became wealthy slave-owners in the American South. Show notes are on Ripleys.com.

"An inventor needs enemies." These are the words of the man who brought electricity into the home, Thomas Edison. While many will argue the particulars of what he invented, Edison was perhaps the most influential man in technology during the turn of the century. This week, Brent and Ryan talk to Dr. Paul Israel, the Director and General Editor of the Edison Papers at Rutgers University. They explore the competitive nature of the "Wizard of Menlo Park," and how this led him to be involved in the use of electricity for capital punishment. Show notes are on Ripleys.com.

Picture a cramped tour bus packed with self-proclaimed human oddities, sword swallowers, fire-breathers, glass eaters, and vaudevillian-style performers all getting ready to take the stage. This week on the Ripley's Believe It or Notcast, Brent and Ryan talk to Short E. Dangerously. At three-foot-three, Shorty had to have his lower half amputated when he was two years old. He walks on his hands, but, other than that, does everything a person typically does and more. Currently, he travels with the Hellzapoppin Sideshow, breathing fire, and jumping on glass.

The conviction that demons exist, and that they exist to harass, derange, and smite human beings stretches back as far as religion itself. This week on the Ripley's Believe It or Notcast, Brent and Ryan talk to Father Vincent Lampert, a Catholic priest and the official exorcist for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Father Lampert trained under long-time Italian exorcist, Father Carmine de Filippis, assisting in over 40 exorcisms. Show notes are on Ripleys.com.

In the news, we've got Polka Dot Men, Swamp Things, Hedgehogs with toddler bodies, and many other bizarre things to talk about. Seriously, it's basically a Ripley's Believe it or Not crossover episode.   

In space...no one can hear you podcast. Except for us. We travelled to space to talk about the sci-fi horror film Alien but now we have these weird creatures on our faces. I'm sure we'll be fine. Oh but be careful because this podcast will self-destruct in 10, 9, 8...

Alien Day -also known as April 26th- has rolled around again so it's time for Kneel Before Pod to indulge in the annual tradition of discussing a film in the Alien franchise. This year's focus is the much maligned Alien: Resurrection. Our conversation covers cloning, space pirates and sympathy for Xenomorph/Human hybrid babies as well as what probably amounts to the most bleeped out swearing on any podcast that we've done.

In an interview conducted the week of March 11th for Theme Park Thursday with @DillosDiz, A. Ali Flores discusses his 20+ year career as one of the most recognized Central Florida entertainers. Ali's passion for standup comedy began when he started doing audience warm-up for shows like Double Dare 2000, NBA All-Star Jam, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Fox Family's Summer Jam and, most recently, Family Feud with Steve Harvey. . His uniquely energetic show will have you laughing from start to finish. His instantly likable personality and his comedic routine is relatable to everyone. From subjects of race to sports to being a single dad he turns your real life (or rather his and those he comes in contact with) into side splitting, sometimes embarrassing, humor! You may have seen him in the ABC Family movie “My Future Boyfriend” or any of his many commercials. He just completed shooting the film “Random Tropical Paradise” starring Joe Pantoliano, Bryan Greenberg and Brooks Wheelan, the film “Naked” starring Marlon Wayans and an episode of “Good Behavior” set to air this fall on TNT.

Three Taverns welcomes new brewmaster, presses ahead with Imaginarium Three Taverns Craft Beers is known for their diverse portfolio of hoppy IPAs, tasty sours, and thick and rich long-boil stouts.  The brewery opened under Georgia's "old laws" and initially weren't allowed to do direct sales out of their brewery.  Owner Brian Purcell tells us one of the great things going for breweries in Georgia today is those direct sales allow small batch creativity, which didn't make financial sense for many brewers under the old laws.  While others are opening new, larger brewers to expand, Purcell is going the other direction and opening his Imaginarium at the Atlanta Dairies development.  Visitors can expect a  Willy Wonka meets Ripley's Believe it or Not as brewers flex their creative muscles on an ever-changing list of experimental beers. Heading up the brewing at both locations will be Riley Finnigan, the new Brewmaster at Three Taverns.  He joins the team after a year-long search prompted by the departure of Joran Van Ginderachter, who left to open his own brewery, Halfway Crooks Beer.  Finnigan is still getting settled in Atlanta, but already loves the strong craft beer community.  His brewing background has taken him around the world, most recently at Edge Brewing in Barcelona and previously with Colorado's Avery Brewing.  Finningan caught the brewing bug while he was managing a sustainable ranch in rural Mexico. Atlanta United wasted no time in turning Atlanta into a soccer town.  Before the fancy Mercedes Benz stadium was completed fans packed out Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd stadium for games.  Purcell is one of those fans, as are many others at Three Taverns.  They attend tailgates, host watch parties, and their Rowdy and Proud IPA is always on hand to celebrate.  Brewed in collaboration with Resurgence, the Atlanta United supporters club, the beer has taken on a life of its own.  Purcell announced the launch of rowdyandproudbeer.com to tell the story of the beer, share pics of the rowdy and the proud as well as a calendar of events, and (soon) to get your Rowdy and Proud merchandise.

10/07/15 - In this week's show, we discuss Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium on I-Drive in Orlando!

Dr David Adamovich, aka 'The Great Throwdini' is internationally known as ‘The World's Fastest and Most Accurate Knife Thrower’ and has proven himself worthy of standing amongst a handful of impalement artist legends, both historically and contemporary, e.g. Gustavo Arcaris, Fritz and Patrick Brumbach, Joe Gibson, Che Che Whitecloud, Larry Cizewski, Tyrone Laner, and Paul LaCrosse. His unique style of performing in a tailed tuxedo, as well as the innovations he’s created, identify him immediately. Amongst them are his veiled stunts with both one and two assistants hidden behind a paper veil, creating the technique of catching knives, and closing his act with the stabbing of a signed card. After being the fourth person in history to perform ‘The Veiled Wheel of Death’ he became the first and only person to perform it with 2 assistants. Likewise, at the straight board, two assistants are unseen behind a paper veil as he throws knives on either side and then in between them — in a black theater to a strobed light. One of magic’s highest honors, The Merlin Award by the International Magicians Society, has been bestowed upon Throwdini for 'Outstanding Performances in the Impalement Arts'. Besides performing in 'Stars of The World Famous Moscow State Circus', Throwdini has performed in major magic venues around the world, been on prominent TV shows including Letterman and O'Brien, stunt-throw doubled for major actors, has taken his act to 13 countries around the world, and starred in the Off-Broadway sensation 'Maximum Risk – World Champions on the Edge'! Throwdini has set or broken 40 world records, most of which are for the speed, accuracy and distance of his throwing; in many cases he far exceeded those accomplished at world championships. Some of his most prominent records include: sticking a knife into a 12” bulls eye from 101 feet, throwing 144 knives around a human target in 1 minute, and extinguishing a cigarette in an assistant's mouth with a 14” knife. Many of Throwdini’s records appear in The Guinness Book of World Records, not to mention Ripley's Believe it or Not!, featuring him as being the only person to ever catch a bullet, an arrow, and a knife! Throwdini has written about his experiences in 'A Day on Broadway', and created an instructional video, 'The Fundamentals of Knife Throwing', featuring his very own “Peel and Throw” Method of throwing that helped him earn both National and World Championships. In this episode of the show, I interview 'Throw', as his friends like to call him, about his meteoric rise to fame, having taken up throwing when he was 50 years old (perhaps there is hope for me too)! We discuss his world record preparations, his life as a performer and he offers some sage advice to both experienced throwers and those, like me, who are new to the field. David was a very generous guest and I am sure you will find much to reflect on in this one hour episode!

And while we reveal the only person who's been on Monday Night Raw and the Oscars in the same six month period, we also discuss… Scarlett Johansson, Brigitte Nielsen, We Still Kill the Old Way, a geek that's done good and gone to the major leagues, Into the Woods, Patricia Arquette, The Babadook, don't take your mom to the Oscars, The Raid 2, the worst bangs ever, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Cobra, Kate Winslet naked, John Wick, reading comic books will get you nowhere... in comic book movies, James Gunn, X-Men: Days of Futures Past, Not Kerry Washington, Agent Carter, keep coming back to Godzilla, J Lo, mud yard fight, Agents of Shield, Reese Witherspoon, the escape from jail, Karen Gillan, tall hair and shoulder pads, Snowpiercer, did I put my keys in the earthquake, putting gemstones on boobs, wrapping with Patty, Juggernaut, what emotion makes a face look like that, everybody's girl, are aliens monsters, Chewbacca, where does the six train come from, Captain America and that dude with the long curly fingernails.  "She's got all the qualities that anyone wants... but nothing that stands out." Note from our Producer: Again I say, THIS episode is NOT a good starter episode. It’s way more chaotic and generally insane then even we USUALLY are. So if you are not already familiar with the Meltdown gang, and the way Oscar Meltdown operates, this might not me the right episode to start with. In fact e-mail me at: producer@moviemeltdown.com and I’ll hand pick a good starter episode for you. BUT for you veteran’s out there… who are ready to delve into the Oscar madness that sets in, I bring you the continuing Foilers…

What makes a man jump two running helicopters on a 375lb Harley-Davidson XR750 dirt track racer? Why does a man perform wheelies on a motorcycle with no front wheel? Bubble Blackwell is "The American Daredevil" of the old school variety in the modern era. Bubba saw Evil Knievel for the first time when he was 8 years old. The fire was lit. As an adult, the man has jumped buses, cars, semi-trucks, helicopters and more on his stars and stripes Harley in America, Japan and Mexico. 50,000 people watched Bubba jump 20 automobiles and take the World Record away from Evil Knievel.He jumped 14 buses in front of 17,000 people in Nashville, Tennessee. When Jay Leno contacted Bubba about doing a stunt on live TV via the Tonight Show, Bubba said yes. On October 22, 1989 Bubba Blackwell did that show and established yet another record by jumping 14 semi-trucks on NBC In Vegas, Bubba jumped 15 tour buses with his XR and became the only daredevil to break all of Evil Kneivels records on the same type of motorcycle using the same size ramps. Amazing. Hear his story tonight on this epic episode of Talking Motorcycles. www.bubbablackwell.com   Twitter: @HD Jumper   Facebook/Bubba Blackwell Tyler Shepard is the Wheelie Wizard Shepard has been there, done that and still doing that. He's done a wheelie contest with Travis Pastrana, performed for Ripley's Believe it or Not, performed for Sports Illustrated, Monster Energy Supercross, AMA Pro Flat Track and more.Tonight Tyler wheelie's in to Talking Motorcycles to talk about his amazing life spent mostly on one wheel of a two wheel machine!   Instagram: @wheeliewizzard

This week is part one of Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in St. Augustine, and part 3 of the ToV 3D film festival. Looking at the title, guess where we're going. Anyways it's late and I have to be at work at 7:30, so I'm going to bed. I might more add to this post tomorrow, I just need sleep now! Edit: Fixed the link! That's what happens when you post when exhausted!

This week we take a take a look at Walt's predictions for entertainment and communication for 2006. After that we head to Universal Studios to take in our third movie in our 3D series, Shrek 3D. Shrek also happens to be my favorite out of all of the 3D movies in Orlando. It's just well done, and the detail in the queue is both well done and hilarious! At the start, I promise audio from our trip to Ripley's Believe it or Not in St. Augustine, but I ran out of time and just tossed in a teaser at the end of one exhibit. I hate it when my shows are longer than 40 minutes. So I'll toss in more from Ripley's in the future. ;) Links: BoingBoing Walt's Letter (PDF)
