We open this week to talk about being too high and why the UFO hearings were lame. For the story, Brandon has something a little different for us this week as we take a detour into alternate histories with the Newark Holy Stones.
As a warning, we talk about some pretty flagrant racism in this episode as it relates to the episode topic.
