This week Tyler FINALLY pulls off being able to completely surprise Woody with a story without even so much as the slightest hint. Not only is this a miracle in and of itself (because of how TERRIBLE Tyler is typically with spoilers) but, turns out it's a pretty fascinating story that Woody (a HUGE Beatles fan) has never heard about... We dive into the unknown, never-before-released Beatles album EVERYDAY CHEMISTRY - well, at least never-before-released in our dimension. We'll go into the ori...

Oh and yes, knee surgery...but, before Woody's zonked out on pain meds and enjoying recovery... he and Tyle...

In January 1976 three Kentucky women, after a celebratory birthday dinner at one of their favorite restaurants, experienced something strange, terrifying, and incredibly intriguing. On the ride home is when their enjoyable girl's night out took a frightening turn.

Despite their attempt...

This week TYLER tricks WOODY into finally talking about The Mandela Effect. Have you ever remembered something from your childhood - only to later find that it is now completely different?
