Premium Episode 142: The Ancient Alienization of the History Channel

Lol Fat face was never a sailor let alone a SEAL. “ blah blah I was a 1st Lt commander blah blah”. No. Fuck off at 1:04. Fuck no. Take it from a navy no pull former HM2, no such rank. Not in the navy and no other service. If he had been in the Navy, he would have been a first lieutenant, junior grade if he had been in the army as a first lieutenant, then that was an 01, but he said he was in the Navy. And he also said the word commander who is a 05 in the navy, this guy is full of shit stolen valor, fat face motherfucker

I’d like Spartan 1 to please show me the “south coast” of Antarctica.

I was wondering how the History channel went from WW2 to “Aliens did it.” FFS

Note on man cow: He got kicked from 97.9 FM (the loop) one of the major FM station Chicago that played classic rock. He left around 2014 I think. The loop went under in 2018 and no longer exists. I saw a man cow billboard a few months back and seems like he is on a AM network still.

Mancow is the worst. He used to be a cheap rip off of Howard Stern or O&A when they were hot and a cheap rip off of Rush Limbaugh when he was hot. Figures he would become the generic version of Alex Jones. There is some truly awful old radio out there with him and his stunt boy Turd.

Great shout. Erich von Däniken—the founding father of all this BS— a small-time fraudster and embezzler who became surely one of the most successful con artists of al time. Even wrote one of his books in a Swiss prison. Turns out grifting the gullible is far more lucrative than theft.

Also, pre-covid they were holding Ancient Aliens conventions.

The "is it possible" is an intentional technique technique -- read Chariots of Gods, this is the foundational book of the show -- dig into that author....

I've been waiting for more like this since Ancient Aliens and the New World Order 2

Worst, Most Lamentable Dust Man

World of Warships is a good game. Does Jake need an invite code?

I went and saw Michael Salla do a presentation on nazi secret space program (for a laugh) and he strongly hinted that hitler went to a secret underground bunker in Antartica. The presentation was done in an old rundown classroom in Melb, Aus. Pretty sure he got kicked out of the University he used to teach at for his beliefs. This was about 8 years ago lol. Great ep, thanks guys!

You probably criticised their favourite comic, it does read a bit over-defensivey 😉

Overzealous Euthanasiast

The fuck does that liefeld comment have to do with literally anything, so very random. I'm indifferent to him at best. I don't think he's particularly good but I don't piss myself with anger when I see his name like a lot of people seem to. He's just a guy who exists and his doing so doesn't affect my life. I find comparing Identity Crisis to Tarantino or Kubrick also equally bizarre. What a bizarre hill to choose to die on, dude.

Don't let The Discovery Channel off the hook either. They (especially Animal Planet) went down a similar route of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story. The contempt many TV network executives have for their audience is appalling. Btw, Brian Dunning over at the Skeptoid podcast did an excellent (short) three-part deep-dive on 'Ancient Aliens' here: https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4719 https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4720 https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4721

THIS was what he wrote when DC comics offered him a job!

Brad Meltzer also wrote one of the worst DC comics of all time. Identity Crisis, an event where the fun comic relief wife of the Elongated Man was murdered and we discover she was raped by comic relief bad guy Dr. Light, who the Justice League then magically lobotomized.
