21 NOV 2024 · In this laugh-out-loud podcast episode, listeners are whisked away on a whimsical adventure through the vibrant world of music festivals and society's most amusing misunderstandings. From the legendary mud-filled Woodstock escapades to the gloriously chaotic disaster known as the Fyre Festival, the hosts hilariously dissect the cultural significance and share side-splitting tales tied to these infamous events. They dive into the peculiar customs of the Chung Chow Bun Festival in Hong Kong, where people apparently compete to see who can pile up the most buns—because who wouldn't want to be crowned the Bun King? They also explore the absurdity of celebrity conspiracy theories, poking fun at the idea that Travis Scott and Taylor Swift might actually be lizard people from outer space. The episode doesn't shy away from poking fun at the excessive use of satanic imagery in music, examining its shock factor and unraveling society's bizarre misconceptions about Satanism. Spoiler alert: The Satanic Temple is actually more about kindness and less about, well, goat sacrifices. Through a blend of humor, music history, and mind-bending discussions, this episode offers a light-hearted yet hilariously insightful look at pop culture and the quirkiest nooks of societal beliefs.
Please note that Dwayne Perkins wasn’t able to join us and we asked guest Jonesy to fill in for the month.

Imagine redoing that awkward middle school dance or sneaking a peek at Cleopatra’s skincare routine! From pondering personal do-overs and witnessing history's bloopers to unraveling mysterious time slips and debating whether the Mandela Effect is just a fancy term for collective forgetfulness, this episode is a laugh-a-minute journey. You'll chuckle at the story of two couples who accidentally checked into an antiquated French hotel and thought they'd time-traveled because there were no croissants for breakfast. Plus, the hilarious idea of using time travel to corner the market on ancient Roman sandals or bet on dodo races is sure to tickle your funny bone. With humor and cheeky insights, this episode is a delightful rollercoaster through history’s greatest mysteries and blunders.

19 SEP 2024 · In this episode, we dive into the captivating world of alien encounters through the unique lens of South African culture, guided by the insightful and entertaining comedian David Kau. A celebrated stand-up comic and filmmaker, David shares his experiences growing up in South Africa, exploring the nuanced distinctions between being "colored" and "mixed," and how these identities shape cultural narratives around extraterrestrial phenomena. We revisit the extraordinary 1994 UFO sighting at Ariel School in Zimbabwe, where 60 children claimed to have witnessed an alien landing, sparking discussions on why aliens might target young, impressionable minds in resource-rich Africa. The episode is rich with personal anecdotes, from childhood musings about aliens to the impact of cultural beliefs on the plausibility of such encounters. Join us as we also speculate on the messages aliens might have for future leaders, the role of influential South Africans like Elon Musk, and delve into broader socio-political contexts, all while enjoying the humor and wit that David brings to the table.
Apologize for the not so great sound quality. It was recorded on Zoom.

South African comedian David Kau is synonymous with many firsts. This Kroonstad-born comic began his career as the first black stand-up comedian in the 1998 Smirnoff International Comedy Festival in Cape Town. In addition to his comedy, he has produced countless movies and television shows.
