We are fun loving, skeptically minded dudes who still like talking about the paranormal, monsters, pop culture, true crime, and a variety of other weird things that weirdos like us enjoy.
Check us out on Facebook or Twitter, and subscribe to the weekly podcast and join in on the conversation.
–Just before we started recording, we had a conversation Jason asks Bobby to continue here on the podcast. Namely, how Bobby got roped into helping his daughter with her last minute homework.
–How old were you when you had your first male teacher? Bobby was in 6th grade, Jason was in 7th. Jason talks about how, fairly or unfairly, male teachers for young kids sometimes get a reputation as being gay or pedophiles. We then proceed to talk about how some of the first male teachers in our lives were busted for possessing and/or distributing child pornography.
–Uncomfortable conversation time. Is pedophilia a mental disorder? What if it is just a kind of sexual orientation like homosexuality? Would it have to be accepted?
–Jason gives an enthusiastic recommendation of Cobra Kai, a show Bobby has maybe seen 15 minutes of before becoming bored. Jason tempts fate by saying he may like it more than Stranger Things.
–Bobby regales us with stories of his recent time at the family lake house, why he doesn’t enjoy the beach, and instead prefers to sit inside and watch movies.
–SOLVING SIGHTINGs: We take a look at s3e01 of the 90s paranormal television newsmagazine, Sightings, and give our thoughts on the “Heartland Ghost” aka Sallie House episode of the show.
–We veer off and reminisce a bit about our ghost hunting days and why we, as opposed to most of our friends and fellow ghost hunters, we got more curious and the anomalous phenomenon we would run across.
–Back to the Sallie House haunting, and we discuss the time we interviewed one of the subjects of the alleged haunting, and she absolutely blew our minds with a horrible story involving a cat. You have to hear this to believe it.
–We end the show talking about how much we hate fake psychics, with a special amount of disdain for the late Sylvia Browne.

–SFR is back in your life! Bobby is on-call, and Jason is breaking bald. So before we get to the big issues, let’s cover a little older ground
—Facebook freaks at the amount of people on Pages and Groups dedicated to QAnon, so decided to ban thousands in an effort to “limit violent rhetoric.” Uh, I don’t think it worked.
—Is Netflix guilty of sexualizing kids? A controversy sprung up over the streaming companies marketing of a movie involving 11yo dancers. And Jason is creeped out by the fact it is rated TV-MA.
–If you enjoyed Unsolved Mysteries 2.0, get ready for more in mid-October. We didn’t enjoy it much ourselves, but will likely still check out the new bath of episodes.
–Bobby saw the new Bill & Ted movie, and found enjoyment in mindless dumb fun in the midst of real-world chaos.
–Also, he is slowly leading his middle daughter deeper into the realm of horror movies through Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Silence of the Lambs.
–Jason thinks Silence of the Lambs is more effective horror than most modern horror movies. Bobby agrees, and we then discuss a particular near-meaningless scene that has somehow played a huge role in our lives now for years.
–We decide to delve back into the paranormal a bit by watching old episodes of Sightings and discussing individual cases on Strange Frequencies. First up, the Sallie House haunting. Watch it along with us.
–Finally, we get into a bit of the Republican convention. Jason talks about some cringey moments, and moments that deserved a fact check. Then, before we could even get to the bigger speeches, like that of Tim Scott and Donald Trump himself, we get sidetracked.
–Police shootings are again in the news. Jason wants to devote a future episode to a rational discussion of the circumstances in which we feel it is acceptable or necessary for an officer to use deadly force. Using real life circumstances from popularly viewed video footage, maybe an open conversation like that can help.

–We figure to get into the Democratic National Convention, but first Bobby unexpectedly gets into how much he hates the trailer to The Batman
–Since Jason missed most all of the Democratic Convention due to work, Bobby leads the way discussing his favorite and least favorite moments, with Jason chiming in a bit here and there based on what he watched after the fact.
–Michelle Obama’s speech got people hyped, but we turn the tables on it a bit, fact-checking her distortion about the “kids in cages” issue. Mainly because her husband’s administration built those facilities and used them for the same reasons.
–Bobby goes over the lineup for the upcoming Republican Convention which, yes, we will discuss on the next episode of SFR.
–Breaking News (at least while we were recording): Kellyanne Conway is leaving the White House, and her husband George Conway is stepping back from his Trump criticisms as well. Bobby talks about how they seem to have done it for the sake of their kids. Jason says, if he were in that situation, he would never have tried to create as much conflict as George did.
–Bobby fawns over Joe Biden’s speech, and Jason takes a moment to fact check the infamous “fine people on both sides” issue that Biden says led him to run. The truth is, Trump condemned the Nazis and white nationalists, and yet that distortion has continued now for years.
–Will Trump need a miracle to win the White House? Did he get a potential miracle with a coronavirus treatment announced recently? Bobby raises some skepticism about the proposed treatment, while Jason speaks out against the constant manufactured scandals, laments the continued lack of trust in the election process, and warns of anyone thinking their preferred candidate has the election wrapped up in August.

–Joe Biden shocked absolutely no one by picking Kamala Harris as his running mate. But at least the ticket is now official.
–We share our criticisms of the pick, with Jason beginning with her track record as a “progressive prosecutor.”
–Bobby, while at first thinking he may abstain from voting, or at least not vote for the Democratic ticket, has now rationalized it out of the fear of feeling like a hypocrite.
–Next, Bobby discusses voting by mail, as well as the ongoing problems with the United State Postal Service. Jason tries to provide some context and background to the issues, including the idea that there’s a bit of bullshitting going on.
–Bobby is fascinated with Alexander Hamilton and is creating a drinking and discussion club called the Drinkers of Madeira. The point is to be able to sip a favorite drink of the Founding Fathers, and rationally discuss important political issues. No duels, Jason hopes!
–Who are we voting for? While Bobby has more or less made his decision, even though he may have to hold his nose a bit, Jason is having trouble finding a candidate he feels is up for the task, has good leadership ability, and best represents his views. Suggestions welcome.
–We end the show with Bobby acknowledging that his own views have shifted away from the Democratic party in some areas, regardless of what way we end up going, we will still be “Drinkers of Madeira.”

–We’re back after a hiatus that lasted just over a month. There’s tons we have missed out on, but instead of trying to cram it all in, why don’t we just talk about whatever comes to mind? Starting with…
—USPS’s inability to deliver mail effectively anymore is what led to our longer than expected break. A part we needed to replace on the soundboard was held up for weeks. Jason talks about the problems in his neighborhood that have been going on for months, including misplaced deliveries, and a carrier who apparently faked a fall.
–So, what have we been up to over the past month? Well, for one thing, we finally saw each other face to face for the first time this year and exchanged the gifts we missed out on in months prior.
–Individually? Bobby is growing mushrooms in a box, he went to heaven when eating a kobe steak, then found himself in hell after getting a new foster child and dog. Jason, on the other hand, turned 40 after years of believing he would never make it, binging a teenage soap opera from Canada, and delving deep into Pizzagate conspiracies. Wait, what?
–This leads to a long discussion on the possibility of elite pedphile rings within Hollywood and the government.
–Buying school supplies is sending Bobby to the poorhouse.
–Is President Trump lobbying to be on Mount Rushmore? Jason reads his tweet that simultaneously denies the story, but also endorses the idea. This is why he’s going to miss him when he’s gone!

–Jason’s July 4th was basically a dud, but luckily Bobby has somewhat of an exciting life to talk about.
–Bobby is rediscovering Roger Ebert, and recommending his book, Life Itself, all over again. Plus, he recently bought a book called The Noticer after a deep conversation with his father-in-law.
–America isn’t canceled yet. Because Joey Chestnut ate 75 hot dogs at the Nathan’s Famous Hotdog Eating Contest.
–A Bigfoot statue has come up missing from an Oregon family’s home, and they desperately want it returned
–A “statue” of Jeffrey Epstein appears overnight in front of City Hall in Albuquerque, NM. Okay, so it’s really just a mannequin painted bronze. But still!
–Another friend and “Freq” has passed away too soon. Tom “Boothetty” Jr., who was an avid SFR listener in our early days, succumbed in late May from an undisclosed illness. Jason talks a bit about his history with the podcast and, together with Bobby, share some of their favorite memories of him.
–Jason recounts a horrible traffic accident that happened this past week that had him thinking of “death’s design” and Bobby thinking of mortality.
–We review episode one of the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. “Mystery on the Rooftop” examines the case of Rey Rivera, a man whose apparent suicide still leaves many unanswered questions and inconsistencies for those who knew him best. Could some of those inconsistencies lead toward a conclusion of murder? We weigh the evidence and share our thoughts.

–Jason’s mom says he swears too much on the podcast. This leads to nonstop swearing, then bitching about how cats have continuously tried to destroyed our show.
–Do deaths come in threes? Maybe not celebrity deaths, but apparently when it comes to Bobby’s home appliances, they do…
–Trump’s re-election chances aren’t looking good right now, and he seems to acknowledge the fact. One reason might be the coronavirus response. There’s still time for him to turn it around, of course.
–Joseph Deangelo Jr. is the Golden State Killer. Whatever slim room there may have been for doubt came to an end Monday when he confessed publicly to over 50 rapes and 13 murders.
—Bill Cosby has won the right to have his appeal heard before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Jason talks about the potential that he may get a new trial, or even have his conviction vacated and walk away free. Regardless of what happens, the #MeToo world awaits.
–When is a crime a crime? Bobby has what may be the dumbest argument in history with a friend online. Jason heard about it, went on a tirade, and stayed mad all night.
–Regarding the Confederate monuments, and Confederate battle flag. We give our opinions on where they should be or not be, and Jason gives an impassioned speech about the need to learn from, not destroy, history.
–The Bubba Wallace noose affair ended with a bit of a thud. Can we at least be happy there was not a racial scandal? Maybe there aren’t as many sneaky racists out there as we’ve been led to believe.
–In lieu of Solving Unsolved Mysteries this week, we instead prepare for the new Unsolved Mysteries coming this week on Netflix. We’re likely going to talk about each available episode over the coming weeks, so we hope you’ll watch along with us!

–Sundays suck. Except for recording Strange Frequencies Radio, all we do is just think about having to go back to work the next day.
–The new Unsolved Mysteries is coming to Netflix on July 1st. But it has no host, and there’s only one case per episode. We aren’t liking what we’re hearing so far.
–Jason reads the episode titles and synopsis for the first six UM episodes, and there seems to be a theme.
–SOLVING UNSOLVED MYSTERIES
Bobby has been stewing on the Dannion Brinkley story for the past week. First, he asks Jason to recap the near-death experience as he did last week, then Bobby goes into an unsolved murder case that Dannion claims to have helped solve. Would it surprise you to find that we aren’t impressed by the account?
–Maybe you’re a skeptic, but have you ever had a premonition that ended up coming true? Bobby shares a psychic-style dream he had years ago, and how he saved his own life by remembering it in time. Pretty wild! We then share stories from the Freqs. After we get through the jokes made at Bobby’s expense, there’s a couple spooky ones!
–Most of us have an unpopular opinion or two, and some of us are afraid to express them publicly due to fear of public shaming or just taking shit about it. Well, not our audience apparently, and that’s why we love them! Some of the opinions shared are not only brave, but even funny at times.
–Jason thinks we are witnessing the ongoing birth of a new secular religion, complete with original sin, Bibles, excommunication and/or banishment, and penance, among other things. Even the way language is being used and manipulated is strange. Bobby gets more and more uncomfortable the longer he goes. Jason has mercy on him and closes out the show to avoid his butthole puckering up further.

–We open the show this week celebrating the Ouija board and its 130th anniversary year. Bobby has an original. Seriously, one of the original produced boards. And the way he got it is almost unbelievable. But is sure makes Jason jealous.
–Should the government be able to mandate a COVID-19 vaccine? We hear from our listeners who have a variety of opinions, ranging from arguments based in personal liberty to public safety. Plus, hear our conversation on the differences between what is happening now, and how opinions and enforcement could change if a newer, deadlier virus someday emerges.
—SOLVING UNSOLVED MYSTERIES
We cover the story of Gordie’s Ghost, featuring a child named Heidi Wyrick, famed parapsychologist Dr. William Roll, and a couple ghosts. Not sure we “solve” this one as much as we just offer alternative explanations for the events depicted, but it’s still a good conversation.
–Despite Bobby now saying he wants to cover the Dannion Brinkley Near-Death Experience episode of Unsolved Mysteries next week, he couldn’t stop talking about it. So Jason chimes in with details from Dannion’s past that solidify contradicts his popular account. But maybe we’ll still talk more about it next week because there’s so much more to it than just an NDE.
–We’re not quite sure how it happened, but the last 30+ minutes or so of the show is us reminiscing about guests we’ve had (or not had) on the show, and how many of them infuriated us to a certain extent. The segment includes, but is not limited to: Lanaia Lee, Darwin Linn, Raymond Moody, and some fucking asshole whose name we can’t remember.

–Kicking things off with the issue on everyone’s mind right now: the death of George Floyd, and the protests, riots, and looting that has followed.
–Do you value someone’s life over property? Some might say yes. But a debate between Jason and Bobby ends up causing one of them to “do a 180” from their initial position.
–SpaceX “Launch America” was a success, and while Bobby didn’t care enough to bother watching, Jason thought it was the best story of the week. One bright spot in an otherwise dark week.
–These kids today stay inside too often and play video games, says two old men who host a podcast. But, if Bobby is right, and the children of the future will be “hanging out” with each other in VR simulations, what will their parents have to complain about?
–We are getting so old that our teenage selves would look at us with contempt. Jason talks about growing up a punk rocker, and now happily spending quiet evening listening to Brahms. Bobby’s wife caught him watching birds through a pair of binoculars. How much longer until he is staring out a window getting joy out of watching a dog poop? Our transition into the characters of The Burbs continues
–SOLVING UNSOLVED MYSTERIES:
We tell the story of the Circleville Writer, and the attempted murder charge that came of it. Was Paul Freshour really the culprit? Is there much more to the story that hasn’t been told? Next week: Bobby would like to delve into the Heidi Wyrick ghost story, as well as the story of Dannion Brinkley. During the episode, though it takes us several minutes, we find the episode in question is listed as season 7, episode 5. But after the show, Jason finds that it is on Youtube as episode 4 of that year. Here’s a link. And you can always find it later on our Facebook page.
–Also next week, let’s talk about the possibility of mandatory vaccines, be it for COVID-19, or a future, even deadlier virus. Until then, stay weird and stay tuned.

–It’s a hot night here on Memorial Day weekend, and the boys have been passing the time watching a lot of Unsolved Mysteries and snacking.
–Visitations from behind the grave? While Jason has not had any such experience, Bobby tells a story involving his sister that may just chill your bones. Plus, our beloved Freqs chime in with a whole lot of experiences of their own that knock our socks off.
–A brief interlude involving the Rocky movies and how iconic Stallone is.
–Back to the stories from the listeners. Jason is especially interested in how they approach their own experiences as skeptics.
–Here we reminisce about our ghost hunting days, including a story involving a typing ghost, and proof positive of a poltergeist that was ultimately anything but.
–Bobby relates a ghostly story involving his foster son that had him a little creeped out.
–Solving Unsolved Mysteries. Season 6 Episode 23, right around 30:30 into the show. This is a story of Bill and Dorothy Wacker and the years of harassment they endured that had us scratching our heads and wondering if one or both of them just made a lot of it up. Watch the episode yourself ocky movies, stallone, and let us know your thoughts!
–Bobby remains pessimistic about the “re-opening of America” and how the coronavirus numbers will be affected.
–Jason gives an overview of the disappearance and reappearance of Madison Bell, and how it ended with the most humiliating way possible to be dumped.
—Two Melonheads walk into a store and steal some stuff… the beginning of a stupid joke? No, just two stupid kids who had a very silly way of hiding their identities. And they may have gotten away with it if they didn’t post about it on social media.
–Tara Reade, the woman who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, has seen her credibility take some major hits as of late. More and more people, it seems, are beginning to doubt her allegation.

–Probably a shorter show tonight. We got a late start, and almost totally gave up, when “the good computer” was on the verge of crashing.
–Jason wants to check in and see how people are handling the pandemic. Bobby makes it clear he is not really ready for states to start opening back up, and fears the disaster he believes awaits. Jason isn’t panicking, and says now that the curve in states has flattened, there are ways to be safer. But you still have to be smart and take precautions, because this isn’t going to be over anytime soon.
–Is working from home going to be more common going forward?
–We then get into a whole discussion of workplace politics, how management can be creepy, and how people change when they get “a little bit of authority” at work.
–Jason brings up the “Plandemic” documentary that has been getting removed from the web, and how that has only encouraged him to watch it for himself. Bobby hasn’t heard of it, but agrees it sounds like a conspiratorial, unscientific mess.
–Finally, we talk a bit about the Ahmaud Arbery case. Jason doesn’t think there’s any way it ends well, regardless of what happens from here.

–Bobby is finally watching Breaking Bad, and Jason is so happy that he loves it. He loves it so much that he can’t stop talking about it.
–What makes a house look haunted? We have some ideas. See, there’s levels to these things!
–Is it really Kim Jong Un attending these recent ceremonies, or a body double? We examine some of the photos, and one thing stands out: Kim’s hair.
–We talk about some bad monster movies, but also some of our favorite monster stories as well. Jason regales Bobby with a quick retelling of the Werewolf of Defiance. AKA, a hairy guy.
–What are some of the “perfect” theme songs in television history? Jason is so delighted by the great taste of the Freqs, and Bobby even plays a few of his favorites for all to hear.
–We end the show with Jason putting a quick thought into the universe. He really wants Jesse Ventura to run for president. Just to see one debate between he and Trump, purely for entertainment value. He “predicted” it 3 years ago, and now there is a possibility it could happen.

–Last night’s saga of the crashing computer
–Bobby’s kids are afraid to go down in the basement. His daughter is just beginning to get into the paranormal, and he is pumped.
–Jason reminisces a bit about when was “woo” was fun. Ghost stories, UFOs, monsters…it was all better way back when.
–Marking the OKC Bombing and Columbine anniversaries that happened recently, and talking about the first major news story we remember. Bobby’s was the fear of nuclear war over fighting in Iraq. Jason’s was the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and seeing his mom cry. Then we hear from the Freqs, and it is like a mini history lesson.
–The Gridlock protests are still going on to a degree, but they feel a little more flat and uninteresting as of late with certain states starting to slowly re-open.
–The sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden by Tara Reade are finally, after more than a month, starting to get more attention. We’re going to continue being as fair and non-partisan as possible as the story develops.

–This show is hanging on by a wire. No, literally. There is a short in the mixing board wiring, and Bobby had to bend it and place another piece of equipment on top of it to keep the connection flowing.
–How was your Easter?
–It was recently the anniversary of our dear listener, Jeffrick, passing away. We share a couple memories, though neither of us could remember his real name, including the time his wife contacted us to stop our monthly membership charge. Since we don’t charge a membership, we always figured it was his porn fees.
–Bernie endorses Biden, and Bobby is here for it. Jason said it was borderline sad to watch Bernie have to grovel and kiss the ring.
–When should we be opening the economy back up? It’s a question that requires forethought and care, but the people who are eager to get back to work are not crazy.
–Bobby’s kids are bouncing off the walls amidst this lockdown, and Jason remembers he is a genius for not having kids.
–NY Times finally reports on Biden allegations, some 19 days after the story broke. And the reasons given for the delay are complete and total partisan hackery.
–Jason and Bobby take some questions from the audience, and share some creepy stories. First up, Bobby talks about his daughter’s desire to be friends with a ghost. Bobby teaches Mr. Chicago how to summon a shadow person.
–Would we ever want to go to Salem, Mass? Oh, absolutely. And Proctor’s Ledge is one place in particular we want to visit.
–How we plan to be hometown heroes when this is all over.
–Our wish to participate in ghoulish tours has up contemplating taking one involving previous mob activity in downtown Toledo.
–Jason wants people to howl with him at 8pm.
–Bobby says that, in order to save lives, we should focus on the scariest parts of the coronavirus. For instance, how many people have contracted it…how many have died…etc. Jason, usually a cynical bastard, contends that sharing the good news occasionally (ie: how many are recovering) helps alleviate hopelessness and depression, and that most people will still make good decisions.

–Who is to blame for the coronavirus pandemic in the United States? Many people would say Trump. We think that is far too simplistic. Jason prepared a list, and we go through it, debating and sharing ideas along the way. For instance, how much should we blame China? What blame does Trump deserve? How about the CDC and FDA? And where does impeachment fit into it all?
–Bobby brings up the prospect of a recession, and we talk about how pundits like Bill Maher, and a variety of liberals and progressives were actually rooting for one at one time because it could help defeat Donald Trump. Jason has a question: are they happy now?
–Coronavirus conspiracy time! We go through the list of what we’ve heard lately. It’s the 5G towers! It’s a reaction to the flu shot, so that the government can create a new vaccine that will track people! It’s not even real, it’s just a way to keep the masses controlled like sheep! It’s…it’s…it’s…
–Bernie drops out, and now is getting the fake praise from the establishment types who have hated him for years. Bobby takes his victory lap, since he has been “Ridin’ with Biden” from the beginning.
–We end the show talking about the sexual assault allegations former staffer Tara Reade has levied against Joe Biden, and compare them to those against Brett Kavanaugh. Plus, is it just us, or do people only #BelieveWomen when it’s politically convenient? Turns out it isn’t just us, as one particular #MeToo advocate has demonstrated.

–The ongoing threat of coronavirus has Bobby doing a cost/benefit analysis of going to the store.
–Jason has a “mostly fun” prediction as to when this whole coronavirus crap will be over. Perhaps dangerously, he’s trying to get inside Trump’s head!
–Bobby wants to tear his hair out from trying to homeschool his kids
–How have our diets changed from the time we were 8yrs old? Answer: they haven’t.
–Listeners have become concerned. So we explain the feud between Bobby and his archrival Nate Murphy.
–Jason talks about a couple of his bad jobs, and confirms Bobby’s belief that he had once walked home for lunch and never went back.
—Tampa megachurch pastor arrested for violating public health orders. Bobby says this is good, as do a couple of SFR listeners. But an exchange on our Facebook page between Mr. Chicago and Pterodactyl Mike highlights a point of disagreement worth examining.
–Jason says this is one time where the whole world (or at least everyone within the SFR audience) is all experiencing the exact same thing. So we spend some time here checking in on our mental health, as well as that of the listeners, and talk about how we’re dealing with it all.
–Bobby goes on a rant about how much he didn’t care for “Tiger King,” a Netflix docuseries currently sweeping the nation. Jason cackles along, his love of contrarianism fulfilled.
–Quarantine and chill? We close the episode talking about the television shows that are getting us through our extra time at home. Let us know what you’re watching as well!

–Between work (and thinking he has the coronavirus) Bobby is under a lot of stress.
–Checking in to see how everyone out there under self-isolation is doing physically, as well as mentally.
–Bobby cheers for Biden’s most recent wins, and Jason laments the exit of Tulsi from the race. Meanwhile, our own primary election here in Ohio is delayed until June.
—Oprah was arrested for sex trafficking, with coronavirus being used as cover! Okay, not really. But apparently this is the latest outlandish conspiracy theory being floated by the QAnon crowd.
–Jason speaks about the recent death of a piece of our old ghost hunting equipment. That leads us to remembering the giveaways we would do in the olden days of SFR.
–Will we be getting our coronavirus relief checks? How about our tax returns? We want our bank accounts to look good for just one day!
–What are your thoughts on calling this pandemic the “Chinese virus”? We give our thoughts, and talk about some alternatives.

–Bobby has reached freakout mode. Coronavirus is in Ohio. Jason, meanwhile, is cool, calm, and collected. He’s playing the odds, and knows there are things you can do to prevent illness.
—Biden has another big week, and Bernie’s odds of being the Democratic nominee continues to shrink.
–Bernie is vowing to fight on, despite admitting that his argument for electability is losing. This upsetting Bobby to no end.
—Alex Jones is arrested for DWI in Texas, and wouldn’t you know it? There is a conspiracy brewing. Jason thinks he was probably jacked up on his own Infowars supplements.
–The release of Corey Feldman’s sex abuse documentary is a fiasco, but at some have seen it. A previous allegation made about Charlie Sheen is now getting more publicity, and reaction is split.
—Harvey Weinstein received 23 years in prison, and is already back in the hospital. Jason calls it “Incarceritis.” But with another trial in California looming, Harvey’s problems are far from over.

–A quick remembrance of nearly 12 years of SFR. As Jason says, “one of (his) favorite things about the show is including (our)friends. One of the worst things has been including our friends.” We then recall our lowest downloaded show with our friend Lou!
–Lots of coronavirus updates since the last time we were together. For instance, we jumped to over 20 deaths in the US. Plus, Bobby makes a prediction about the near future here in Ohio.
–We have gotta do some good old-fashioned skepticism about claims being made regarding coronavirus and natural treatments. For instance, you can’t “boost your immune system.” If you could, it would be very bad.
–Bobby brings people into his prep cellar, and we lament how people panic so quickly at the earliest sign of potential danger.
–Jason lets people in on a couple funny news stories related to the coronavirus. Namely, there’s now coronavirus porn! And miracle healing site closes because of coronavirus fears!
–Bobby is very eager to talk about the big bounce Biden received from Super Tuesday. And, yeah, maybe we pat ourselves on the back from our political prognostication abilities. Y’all better recognize. /sarcasm
–We end the show with Bobby rapid firing a few topics and questions at Jason, with Big J going on an absolute rant long enough to lead both of the boys to forget where we started.

–Is there a possibility that Jason and Bobby will be leading ghost tours at a theater in their hometown? We’ll see about that. But hearing some stories, and having some time to check it out for ourselves? That’s a definite probability.
—Coronavirus, and the fear of this new strain, is on the verge of overwhelming Bobby. He is now officially prepping for the worst.
–Is this novel coronavirus going to affect the election?
–Bobby is still gung ho on Biden, while Jason is asking him if it is time to unite around Bernie?
–The Harvey Weinstein verdict, Jason believes, represents a “landmark moment” in celebrity sexual assault cases.
–Jason is all-in on the upcoming Candyman movie coming this June. He recently found out it is not the remake he expected, but instead a sort of spiritual sequel involving some of the same actors and characters.

–With so much going on, nothing captured our attention more than the Democratic debate. We do our best to cover it all. ALso giving thoughts on each of the major remaining candidates from Bernie and Biden, to Bloomberg and Buttigieg, with Klobuchar and Warren rounding them out. Did I get them all in?
–After approximately an hour of that, we move on to a review of the Joker movie that Jason and Bobby each finally saw within the last month.
–We end the show with Bobby talking a bit about his new foster child.

–We’re miles apart and recording through a snowstorm, running into connection problems along the way. But dammit, we’re going to push through and get this episode in the can!
—Bigfoot in Washington? Apparently Bigfoot is a man in a snowsuit or Carhartt. This video has us wishing for Blobsquatch.
—Iowa caucus debacle has people talking conspiracy. Can you really blame them?
–Bernie is getting screwed from multiple sides, by the Democratic establishment and CNN, but Jason thinks it has actually been helping him.
–Join us as we go on a diatribe about how much Elizabeth Warren disgusts us
–Bobby is very disenchanted with attitudes he sees from his political tribe. Jason thinks that every 4 years the country loses its collective mind.
–The State of the Union had some positive moments, but Bobby ran into trouble trying to get people to acknowledge it.
–Impeachment blew up in the Democrats’ faces, as anyone could see it would. And even more liberal outlets like CNN are dumbfounded at how Trump’s approval rating is going up.
–Stay tuned for the funniest ending in SFR history. Hello? Hello?

–Bobby’s found a surprise and Jason has to “keep going!” so he can prepare it for the great unveiling. It’s a real blast from our ghost hunting past! Strap yourself in, because this could go on for a while.
–NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his teen daughter, along with 7 other people, die in a shocking helicopter crash. Bobby talks about the sadness of it, particularly from the vantage point of being a father himself. Jason laments the excessive hero worship. But also, how did the Kobe narrative shift from potential rapist to a champion of girls?
–The Wuhan coronavirus is still in the news, and Bobby gives the latest updates. Jason asks if the fear and anxiety is proportional to the number of victims. For example, the flu kills far more people each year, and doesn’t get this kind of news coverage. Whatever your thoughts, be thankful for modern science and medicine, because this is the kind of thing that could have been a legitimate plague in centuries past.
–What else is on Bobby’s mind? The impeachment trial, of course. We share our thoughts of the differing tactics in play, who we want to see testify and why (give us a show!) and talk about a few big IFs.
–Flash poll: Will Jason be in prison by next week for what he says at the end of this episode? Weigh in!

–Half the intro theme is probably gone this week, and the volume settings are going haywire. Jason is just happy it isn’t his fault.
—Are UFOs our future selves? That’s the idea (though based on nothing new) of one scientist in a new book. We have some fun discussing it before ultimately saying why it is likely bunk.
–Woman drives into traffic to test her faith. Yes, crazy people exist. They’re out there among us. And they drive.
–Another wingnut accosts a guy in the grocery store checkout line and tells him to repent. Listen for yourself.
—Coronavirus has got Bobby freaking out. Check out how fast he talks when he is nervous.
–Bobby talks about a trip for sandwiches, which leads to discussion of the Heart Attack Grill. Jason has never been there, but it’s his favorite restaurant.
–We end the show talking politics and, in particular, the impeachment trial.

–Strange Frequencies Radio is back, and we are puzzled by a very urgent and important series of questions. Was ReRun on What’s Happening? Or Good Times? What about JJ? We are flummoxed. But we figure it out soon, don’t worry.
–Our tech issues went away for one week, and they’re back. It has nothing to do with our brand new equipment. It’s PICNIC, after all.
–Bobby talks about his foster child being reunited with their grandparents. It’s nice that he’s back with family. But it was way more difficult than he ever imagined it would be.
–Jason leads into a local story involving a missing teenager by the name of Harley Dilly. After over 3 weeks, the resolution no one wanted came to fruition.
–Bobby gives a brief review of The Witcher, which is streaming now on Netflix.
–Pain. Torture. Mass confusion. So what else happened during the Democratic debate?

–It’s been a long time, and we’ve missed your beautiful faces. But we’ve been on hiatus for long enough that we’ve forgotten how to use our respective systems.
–What have we missed while we were away? Plenty. But two big pieces of news was that Trump is now an impeached president, and we may or may not be involved in an escalating war with Iran.
–Speaking of war, how many of us knew who Soleimani was before this happened? Guessing not many. And for a guy now being called worse than Osama bin Laden and the former head of ISIS, it seems we all would have heard of him by now.
—George Lopez caught the attention of the secret service for a joke about assassinating President Trump. Bobby says you shouldn’t make stupid jokes. Jason says George Lopez should name his next special after this.
—Ricky Gervais once again takes the piss out of the Golden Globes audience and we rather enjoyed it.
–We quickly talk about The Irishman, because yes, it’s really been that long since we recorded our last episode.
–Strap in, Bobby is getting his first chance to talk about The Rise of Skywalker.
–Lo! A brief interlude about Bigfoot.
–RIght back to Star Wars to finish the tale of how Indiana Jones met Han Solo, because of course he did.
–Bobby wants to be a butcher.

–Good news! Bobby reinstalled all necessary programs on his Mac, and he seems to think the show sounds good this week. Plus…he’s getting a new computer, which we’ll be recording future episodes on. Keep your fingers crossed!
–There was a big controversy involving Bobby this weekend, and SFR listeners are outraged! So we get right to it. Why is Bobby sending a child to Catholic school? Has he gone to the dark side and become religious? Is he initiating his kids into a cult? Bobby explains what is going on, and Jason is interested to see how listeners react.
–Ohio House passes bill allowing students to be scientifically wrong as long as it is endorsed by their religion. Talk about scary.
–Convict dies briefly in the hospital, and claims that because of this, his life sentence has been fulfilled. Amusing, but Jason doesn’t buy the argument for a second. Neither did the court.
—Superbugs are freaking Bobby out. Should they be freaking everyone out? As scary as antibiotic resistance is, there is good reason to be calm.
–Epstein guards are being charged with forging government documents. Jason thinks this lends more credibility to his belief that Epstein did, indeed, kill himself. Bobby takes the opposite view, amusing Jason to no end with his pronouncements based on no evidence.
–We end the show talking pizza.

–Halloween, for us, was fairly uneventful. We’re old. But the kids persevered despite the crummy weather and brought back loads of candy.
–Reports of razor blades being found in candy in Ohio has us scratching our heads. Though one report sounds just a tad suspicious.
–Bobby talks about a friend of his who worried about cultural appropriation at school around Halloween. Jason says that white liberals treat minorities as their pets, and most of this really comes down to the need for power and control. It’s not about trying to change minds, instead there’s always a punishment involved. (Here are the videos Bobby references: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT2UH74ksJ4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNXm7juuM-8.)
–Jason does announcements, and Bobby helps put a new spin on them.
–Well the word around the campfire is that Epstein didn’t kill himself. We break down the latest from the perspective of Dr. Michael Baden, who thinks the evidence right now points more toward homicide, and from NY Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson who stands by her office’s conclusion that it was suicide. We need to hear your thoughts!
–Next up is a little impeachment talk, since it appears the more private hearings are over, and the public hearings will begin soon. Bobby is torn on a few items, while Jason won’t judge until he can hear and examine the evidence, and not what certain politicians and media outlets are putting out to boost their narratives.
–Finally, we each talk about what we’ve been watching on Netflix. Bobby just saw a documentary about an infamous high school football rape case called Roll Red Roll. Meanwhile, Jason is watching the Netflix version of Cold Case Files and really enjoying it.
–See you again next time!

–A family waiting for the End Times is discovered in a secret room in the Netherlands when one guy walks away and orders some beers.
–A Sandy Hook father has won a defamation case against a denier who published a book filled with malicious falsehoods.
–Are THC edibles being passed out to kids for Trick or Treat to make them trip balls? No. It’s an offshoot of an old myth, always prevalent around this time of year, where a boogey man poisons Halloween candy. Don’t buy into it.
–Bobby is now CPR certified, and can now save Jason’s life when he inevitably collapses after too many pizzas. That’s good! But the scary part is where he found traces of fentanyl are being located. In short, be extra careful in public bathrooms.
–Payton Leutner, the 2012 Slenderman attack victim, speaks out for the first time about what she went to, and what she thinks about her attackers.
–Is there a movie you have to watch each Halloween? The Freqs weigh in with their answers. Bobby always has to watch the original Halloween on Halloween. Jason doesn’t have one in particular, but thinks he’ll go with Sleepaway Camp this year.
–Bobby reviews the Creepshow tv series, now available on Shudder.
–A guy with a “Jesus Saves” runner’s bid collapses at a race, and a guy named Jesus helps save him.
–Edward Snowden was on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and confirms that he could find no evidence of past alien visitation during his time as an intelligence analyst in the CIA. Also, climate change is real, chemtrails aren’t a thing, and the moon landing happened.
–We end with the deal of ISIS founder and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and the idea of giving credit where credit is due.

–Worried your new home may be haunted? A real estate firm in Charlotte is bringing in ghost hunters as part of the home inspections through Halloween. We discuss what the law says about real estate and hauntings, and talk about the potential marketing strategy behind this move
–Jason says he must have slept through the news that Zak Bagans purchased several Ghostbusters film props, including a ghost trap, jumpsuit, and proton pack shell. We marvel at the amount of money he has spent on stuff we admittedly find cool, plus: Bobby goes gonzo over a Gozer slip-up.
–Do ghost tours and ghost hunters disrespect the memory of the people they’re hunting? One article about the Pennhurst Asylum says yet. We talk about similar type “haunts” in our neck of the woods, but have differing experiences.
–Pew Research continues to show that religious affiliation in America is decreasing, while the “nones” are increasing. Is this good news? Jason doesn’t see the positive results yet. Meanwhile, Bobby talks about his recent experiences going to church himself.
–Last week, Jason promised he would do a quick El Camino review, as he was asked to do by Ian, and he does so. Bottom line: he doesn’t think the movie was necessary, and while he had some qualms with it, he was glad to see those characters again.
–Bobby cannot contain his excitement for the first look at the last of the Star Wars Skywalker Saga films, with a teaser set to come out Monday.
–More to come next time. See you then!

–We review the Toledo Bigfoot & Paranormal conference in full, from the moment we walked in, until the time we left. Included are the sights we saw and the uhh, smells we smelled. Ah, good times.
–Jason reviews the new paranormal show Ghost Nation which debuted on Travel Channel recently. You can probably guess he wasn’t a fan, but some of his biggest issues were with the technical aspects like editing and voiceover.
–SInce he’s been tracking it, Jason does a quick analysis of Ghost Hunters’ ratings over the past couple months, comparing it with recent seasons of Ghost Adventures, and the premiere episode of Ghost Nation. Which should has gotten the highest ratings lately? We’ll continue tracking to learn more.
–We end the show talking about the Ellen DeGeneres & George Bush friendship fiasco, including reactions from leftist celebrities. After exposing the hypocrites, we basically agree that a lot of people are totally full of shit on this issue.
–Bobby is tired. More to come next time!

–Fresh off Oktoberfest at the Nelson family abode, Strange Frequencies Radio is back. We’re still full from the beers and brats, but dammit we’re ready to go!
–Let’s start off light. Stranger Things has been renewed for season 4 (no shock there) and we’re not in Hawkins anymore. Plus, the Duffer Brothers have signed a fat deal to continue producing content for Netflix. What wonders might we have in store?
–Let’s talk fake hate/bias crimes again. We mention two, one involving a 6th grade black girl who lied about three white boys cutting off her dreadlocks, and another here local to us about a black mother blaming a “white bitch” for an attempted kidnapping.
–Bobby, an unabashed Star Wars nut, is very upset after seeing Mark Hamill took a big dump on Ivanka Trump after she shared an image of her young child in a stormtrooper costume. Jason bemoans the divisiveness, where not even images of kids are safe from rage due to political squabbles.
–Bernie Sanders suffers a heart attack on the campaign trail, and we discuss whether or not he should drop out of the race.
–The trial of Amber Guyger for the killing of Botham Jean is over, with the former Dallas police officer being sentenced to 10 years, with the possibility for parole in 5. But Jason was moved by the act of true humanity and forgiveness on display from the Jean family, and wishes the more sanctimonious among us could take a lesson from it.
–Bobby showed Jason the Sandy Hook Promise “back to school” commercial that debuted a couple weeks back, and we discuss whether ads like this, as well as the “active shooter drills” going on in American schools do far more harm than good.
–We end the show with a report and video of a UFO sighting in North Carolina, and break down the likeliest explanations. Is it aliens? Or flares?

–SFR is here again, and we’ve recorded for back to back weeks for the first time in what feels like months. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. Bobby holding a kid again.
–Okay, we can’t ignore it. The Trump impeachment inquiry is underway. We recap the basics of the story, and hope most everyone can at least agree that what the president did was wrong. But, should he be removed from office over it? Was the act severe enough (at least based on what we know now) to nullify the results of an election? We give our answers, and we hope you’ll contact us to give us yours.
–We despise Cancel Culture, and yet it has reared its ugly head again in the case of Carson King, a young man who raised millions for a children’s hospital, only to have his good deed tarnished by a reporter who dug up a couple inappropriate tweets he made around 8 years ago, when he was a teenager.
–The Des Moines Register reporter who helped “cancel” Carson King, is now out of a job after his own bad tweets were dug up. He seems to think he is the real victim as well. Where does the madness end?!?
–Swedish teen Greta Thunberg becomes the face and voice of a climate movement, which is amazing. But Jason has serious concerns whenever adults task their children with the responsibility of being the leaders of a movement.
–We touch on how activists have to have more substance to their argument than just emotion. Know your facts, know your history, and at least know the science or mechanics behind what you’re being an activist for. Because your opponents probably will, and they’ll kick your ass if you aren’t careful.
–We end the show this week with a powerful and uplifting email from a listener who has been with us a lot longer than we ever knew. Listen, and hear Bobby and Jason not only be touched emotionally, but encouraged to keep evolving, growing, and challenging ourselves and others.

–SFR is back in your life! And with another week away, there’s a lot to get into. Where to begin?
–The “Storm Area 51” event, that morphed into AlienStock, that morphed again into an all things extraterrestrial free for all happened over the weekend, and we give the scoop on what went down. Good news: it doesn’t appear anyone had to be vaporized for trying to see ‘dem aliens.
–Justin Trudeau had a bad week. Some old photos of the Candian PM donned in “brownface” were uncovered and he had to make a few apologies. Bobby laments that liberals focus on these kind of scandals. Jason says that, while he is pretty sure Trudeau is not a racist, he does enjoy when someone who positions themselves as ultra progressive and “woke” has to grovel before the politically correct elite.
–Benny Hinn is renouncing the prosperity gospel, in what Jason thinks is almost assuredly a new version of the same scam he has been pulling for years. Bobby warns to heed the words of James Randi about these “unsinkable rubber duckies.”
–Bobby attends a friend’s diaper party, and shoots an AR15! How did he, someone who admits he is uncomfortable with guns, feel about shooting the most despised firearm of the political left? Well, it sure sounds like he enjoyed it…
–We went to the theater to see IT and some creepy guy offers us his children. A weird little event we just had to share with you.
–Finally, we give our fully detailed review of IT: Chapter Two, and yes there are *spoilers* involved. Bottom line: neither of us liked this movie, and we left very disappointed. But we want to hear what you thoughts, so please let us know.

–It’s episode 500 of Strange Frequencies Radio, and we can’t believe it ourselves! But we’re glad to be together in-studio once again recording this milestone moment.
–How do we celebrate such a momentous event? By drinking something Jason didn’t even know existed until a month ago, and that Bobby has grown to actually like: White Claw!
–Why stop there? Next up, we each enjoy a cognac glass of straight fernet, which Bobby says reminds him of mint toothpaste, but Jason says tastes like Robitussin. Well, hey, you only record your 500th episode once.
–Bobby wants to take some to discuss how he has changed from the start of SFR until now, and he goes from a guy who believed in God and ghosts, to a guy not so sure about ghosts, but who sends his kids to a Catholic school.
–Jason, on the other hand, likes to think he is basically the same person. Just one who has shed some paranormal beliefs.
–We play the one EVP we have never been able to explain. The one that Jason thinks is interesting, but which keeps Bobby wondering “what if?”
–Looking around our humble basement studio full of “Bobby’s Oddities” and other paranormal books and curiosities, it dawns on Jason that there’s a part of each of our 500 episodes in every item down there. That the story of Strange Frequencies Radio is on the shelves all around us. That leads us to grabbing a few items off those shelves, and telling a few stories about them. Included: an original Ouija board, a book signed by an “original ghost hunter,” and a few monstrous footprints.
–This leads us down memory lane, and talking about our time long ago filming for a self-produced documentary called SItuation: Paranormal that unfortunately never saw the light of day. One of the highlights of filming was our interactions with a person we feel was simply a self-deluded “psychic” whose so-called powers totally dissolved under scrutiny. Wait until you hear this.
–Bobby gives a quick review of the movie version of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
–We end this episode with a couple recommendations: First, Bobby recommends the Spooked podcast if you like paranormal stories, and Jason, ever the crime nut, recommends Chase Darkness With Me by Billy Jensen.
–Where do we go from here? Episode 501, of course! See you then…

–Bobby makes Jason the first invitation to his Oktoberfest party.
–A South Carolina coroner kills the rumor that Dairy Queen was serving human meat in their burgers.
–Bobby gives a review of the Impossible Whopper!
–Jason does a public service of his own, by watching Ghost Hunters so you don’t have to! He catches up on some old episodes and one particular cast member, and then reviews the new episode.
–Okay, let’s finally talk about the Epstein suicide, and the many conspiracy theories that have surrounded it.
–Bobby is hyped about new Star Wars streaming programs, and makes three prediction possibilities for the upcoming film. Meanwhile, Jason is all about the Breaking Bad movie coming soon to Netflix.
–Our next episode in #500, and we can hardly believe it. We plan to be together for our next recording to properly celebrate the momentous occasion.

–It was a dark and stormy Sunday night, and Jason and Bobby are recording SFR through power outages aplenty. Listen as they have to reset the program multiple times.
–Ghost hunters is about to come back and Jason has set his DVR, all the while lamenting that SFR feels, in some way, as if it has come full circle.
–One show we are looking forward to, however, is the Nick Frost and Simon Pegg series Truth Seekers, a comedic send up of paranormal investigation shows. Sounds fun!
–Bobby and Jason plan to attend the Toledo Bigfoot & Paranormal conference, which is just a short walk up the street from where Bobby lives. It’s only $10, and is apparently just planned for 5 hours. Plus, we have a couple buds potentially coming in to visit!
–IT Chapter Two is coming up faster than we thought.
–The streaming wars are heating up, and how we watch television is rapidly changing.
–Neighbors aren’t always so neighborly, Jason says, while recounting times he has helped neighbors out only to to be kind of screwed over in return. Bobby tells a story about a friend who wants to rip off Nike.
–Flashback to a couple Fridays ago, as Bobby’s son Gino becomes Mr. Glass. An incredible story.
–Jason showed up at the annual pig roast, and makes an amazing escape that baffles everyone.
–The show ends with Bobby tripping balls.

–SFR is back in your ears, and recording on a new day: Sunday nights! But does that mean the old familiar tech issues would be a thing of the past? Ha! Think again, junior.
–We start off thinking out loud about the recent mass shootings that have taken place in the United States this past week, including one just a couple hours from our hometown.
–Next, a real disgusting story involving a body donation center that includes a cooler full of genitalia, a “Frankenstein monster,” and an exploding grandma.
–Kramer warned Jerry, and Alex Jones warned the rest of us. But the pigmen are coming! Okay, so it’s really just Japan approving human-animal embryo experiments, and the ethical and technical hurdles that must be overcome. Still, the prospects could be incredible if it all works out.
–Zak Bagans buys everything Jason wants! This time, it’s the LaBianca-Manson Family murder house. We talk a bit about Bagans’ Haunted Museum, and how if we were ever in the area, we might be tempted to go even though we don’t want to line his pockets any further.
–A Bigfoot “sighting” and a shooting disrupt a perfectly lovely camping trip for one couple in the Mammoth Cave National Park area of Kentucky.
–SFR Mailbag
Eric asks us about our favorite ghost stories. While for many that might lead to discussions of celebrities haunting their old stomping grounds, or even touching on some of the more famous ghost photos ever published, for us it leads to reminiscing about our own ghost hunting days. While we can’t say we ever actually saw a ghost, we were there when some pretty interesting things happened. Some of them funny, some frustrating, but all entertaining in their own way. And we end the show talking about a number of those experiences.

–Bobby begins the show near death, which is typical when you have kids who pass germs around. Meanwhile, Jason hasn’t been sick in at least a couple of years, and decides to recount the non-vomit streak he is so proud of.
—Rosemary Ellen Guiley, noted paranormal author and guest speaker, has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 69. Bobby is deeply hurt, not just because Rosemary was always kind to us, but because he always enjoyed her work. Jason talks about the vultures who will now claim communication from the other side with her, why it shouldn’t surprise anyone that it will happen, but how you can know for sure it is shady.
–More sequels to the Halloween franchise are on their way, with Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends coming over the next couple years to continue the story of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. Even though neither of us cared much for the recent entry, Jason says horror fans are masochists, and we all watch the sequels regardless. Kind of like Star Wars fans, as Bobby points out.
–SFR Mailbag:
We take on a couple questions from the audience, with O’Reilly asking about Ohio raising the legal age to buy cigarettes and vape products, while Pterodactyl Mike asks how long we will last if the power goes out? Fun questions, and we have some laughs!
–We close the show with a Stranger Things season 3 *spoiler review*. What did we like and dislike about this season, and what should be expected going into the next season? We give our opinions, and look forward to hearing yours.

–SFR is back in your ears, and while we may not be the best podcast around, we’re definitely not the worst. So that’s something, right? Right, guys? We aren’t the worst…are we?
–Huge viral story over the last week, as over 1 million people “sign up” to storm Area 51 and find the aliens this September. While we’re certain that most of these folks aren’t serious, we do wonder how many will show up, and how many of them will make a mad dash.
–A Catholic bishop, in an effort to fight crime and corruption in Colombia, plans a mass exorcism and dumping holy water down over a city. Unfortunately, he was unable to secure a helicopter, so he had to stick to flicking it from a bucket while on top of a firetruck.
–Tennessee police issue a warning not to flush drugs, because apparently you can run the risk of creating meth gators.
–Next, we talk about some of the silliest, most ridiculous cryptids we’ve had run reading about over the years. We brought up the Loveland Frogs, Melon Heads, and the Dong Wrangler of Czechoslovakia. But is any discussion of crazy cryptids complete without mention of Hobo Lobo and ol’ Three Toed Nimble Knocker from our neck of the woods?
–The trailer for IT: Chapter Two has been released, and the reviews are positive. Talk of the upcoming release has us reminiscing about our childhoods, and discussing the importance of having a classic scary movie for your generation.
–Plus, a trailer for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot hits, and while Bobby simply hated the writing, Jason thinks he may have finally gotten too old to enjoy the characters.
–We’ll be back next time with a spoiler review of Stranger Things season three.

–The much ballyhooed 4th of July Trump parade has come and gone, and your preconceived political beliefs probably dictate your thoughts about it.
–Is the Jeffrey Epstein case going to take down Trump, Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and anyone else that has any connections to him?
–This week saw the anniversary of the “Roswell Incident,” an event that will long fascinate people, be they true believers or not.
–We give a Stranger Things review, keeping it as *spoiler free* as possible. Which wasn’t that hard, really, since neither of us have finished the new season. But we do talk about Evan Rachel Wood’s comments about character Hopper’s “toxic” behavior, and how it sure seems like a lot of folks don’t like celebrities pontificating.
–We tried doing a SFR Youtube livestream last night, and boy oh boy did that fail spectacularly.
—Ariel is black in the new incarnation of the Little Mermaid, and Bobby has some insight into the racial controversy via the folks at his poker night.
–The US women won the World Cup, and are apparently not going to the White House whether they were invited or not. Jason thinks it’s bad for the country and elevates political divisiveness when a team representing their nation turns their back like this.
–The criminal case against Kevin Spacey seems to have fallen apart now that the accuser has asserted his 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Spacey’s name may be mud, and he may never again be an A-level actor, but it sure seems he will avoid prison on what Jason thought was a bogus case from the start.

–The Strange Boys are back again. Why does it always feel like we’re coming back from another week off? Pretty much because we are, huh?
–We are recording this in the early morning hours of Independence Day, why? Bobby has to watch every fireworks display in the tri-state area, apparently.
–Local man accidentally kills himself in a fireworks accident, and the devastation to his chest is mentioned ad nauseum. This brings up memories of days gone by wherein it wasn’t the 4th unless you were shooting your friends with bottle rockets or roman candles.
–A major paranormal show is back from the dead. That’s right, Ghost Hunters is back later this summer, along with a handful of other similar shows that has Jason disappointed in the A&E network. But talking about ghosts brings back memories of our last case as paranormal investigators, as how we knew we were done before we got back to the car.
–Do you have a particular historical, or celebrity ghost sighting you’re fond of? Bobby mentions the stories of Michael Jackson seen around Neverland, while Jason talks about Lincoln wandering the halls of the White House after his death.
—MUFON turns 50, and it gives us a chance to talk a bit about organizations we’ve joined just for the cool swag. However, there was another club we cut ties with when they served us terrible steaks.
–Bob Lazar is everywhere all of a sudden. On Netflix in a new documentary, and on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The creepy part is that so many people are being influenced by him. But there was one pretty outspoken UFOlogist named Stanton Friedman who looked into his story and found it to be complete bunk.
–We open up the SFR Mailbag, and take on questions about the perfect taco, the crisis at the southern border, and whether or not belief (even in nonsense) can actually make you a more hopeful person.
–Bobby’s daughter has recently shed her belief in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc. and it all pretty much happened at once.
–END TIMES:
We close the show with our take on the two-night Democratic debates from this past week.

–It’s good to be back and hearing the SFR theme again!
–We have reached the stage of life where we fall asleep easily and randomly. Sometimes during an evening of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.
–Bobby is back from Florida, and has some adventures to share. Including turbulence on planes, an encounter with Robert the Doll, and a creepy graveyard event.
–Could Bobby have found Jason another alcoholic beverage to enjoy? He recently found out about fernet, and there are plans to try it.
–Bobby found the best Key Lime pie in Florida, and Jason explains why he loves America.
–Are you ever crossing a bridge on a foggy night and kind of wish to yourself to see a werewolf cross the road? Well, we do.
–We discuss the stoic activity of premeditatio malorum, and planning for disasters.
–Oh no, more abortion talk! But it’s really about Jason’s spiritual activity of challenging his own beliefs with the goal of living a more peaceful life.
–Here’s a hobby we share: occasional cigar and pipe smoking, with a side of wine drinking.
–How to end racism? Stop obsessing over it and start making fun of it.
–Bobby says the word “gay” in a negative context, and also found out he is not allowed to say the word “interracial” as a foster parent. He has been suspended until our next episode (and yes, that’s a joke…).

–Strange Frequencies Radio kicks off with the testimony of two old men, Bobby and Jason. One of whom is always tired, while the other can’t poop. Can we retire yet?
–Bobby is heading to Florida, so SFR will be taking a break for the next two weeks while he is away.
–The recent spate of UFO stories in the press, from Pentagon programs to Navy pilot witnesses, have been overhyped and overblown. It’s no coincidence that the stories are being written by UFO nuts affiliated with what is sure to be an unscientific and hyperbolic miniseries debuting this week.
–The “Hollywood Ripper” trial is ongoing, and Ashton Kutcher has testified about the murder of his former girlfriend back in 2001.
–Regardless of what people think of Julian Assange and Wikileaks, there are good reasons to be suspicious regarding the indictments against him. Mainly because they seek to punish him, in effect, for publishing truthful information. Is this an attack of freedom of the press? We ask for your thoughts!
–Jason has issues with correcting friends online when they share bad information online, because however hard he tries to be gentle, some people still end up offended.
–A big shout out to West Coast Correspondent Lou who gave the inside scoop on Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. Bobby is absolutely ecstatic, while Jason is still confused about most everything he just heard.
END TIMES:
-Louisiana abortion ban
-Mueller speaks!
-Zombie kids and tablet time

–Bobby start the show by talking about his dog. Jason jumps in, and they end up commiserating about their shared canine problems. But that leads us to talking about a story involving a woman whose “last wish” was apparently to euthanize her healthy dog so it could be with her in death, and then we are both outraged! Rawr!
–Washington becomes the first state to allow human bodies to be composted.
–Game of Thrones is over and lots of people are devastated. So much so that some may actually need therapy. (Beware: this segment includes spoilers from the last season/last episode)
–The IT: Chapter Two trailer was dropped a couple weeks back, and we were creeped out enough to want to see more. We go over the cast a bit, and we’re sure to make this theatrical experience another group outing when the movie is released.
–Jason got a jury duty summons a while back, and it turns out his service was not needed this go around. But Bobby received a questionnaire from the government about his potential to be selected as a juror in a federal trial. We also talk a bit about the potential for “professional juries.”
–Jason is in the market for a “lucky coin” or amulet, and was surprised to learn how many such objects on eBay are overtly sexual. Bobby talks a bit about something he carries with him regularly, though it isn’t for luck. We also hear from the Freqs about the objects they carry, which we thought were very cool!
–Finally, we open the SFR Mailbag and field a few questions from the loyal listeners out there. Pterodactyl Mike asks if dogs think we are other dogs, and we actually have an answer! Mr Chicago asks a variety of questions, including whether or not pets can sense impending doom (or ghosts).
–The show ends with a quick discussion about presidential candidates appearing on FOX News, and we say good for them!

–UFOlogist, amd multiple time guest of SFR, Stanton Friedman, has passed away. We share some memories of encounters we’ve had with him, do some hilariously awful impressions, and give our take on some of the skeptical world’s reaction to his death as well.
–Alabama has passed the most restrictive abortion law in the nation, and the ACLU and Planned Parenthood have vowed to sue. Will this make it to the Supreme Court? If so, what could happen? We also do a little back and forth about the arguments that “pro-life” and “pro-choice” sides make about the abortion issue.
–A quick update on our own local “prophetess” Opal Covey, who made her pro wrestling debut this past week. Jason turns Bobby on to a famous pro wrestling clip, and his reaction says it all.
–The first black faculty dean in Harvard’s history will not return to that job after the university succumbs to the mob. His “crime” according to the privileged and woke students of the most prestigious university in the country? He agreed to represent Harvey Weinstein in court. The horror! The shame! The…Sixth Amendment!
–Jason is once again flummoxed by the celebration of morbid obesity by those in the “body positivity” movement. Bobby joins him in decrying it, saying morbid obesity is not awesome or healthy.
END TIMES:
–We discuss the drumbeat for war with Iran as the tensions increase.

–SFR is back, and Jason is extra excited because he and Bobby hung out for the first time in months – hanging out at a Cinco de Mayo party where we enjoyed such Mexican activities as eating, drinking, and playing basketball.
–Jason got a ride home from Bobby’s dad, and we mostly discussed abortion. Which we then get into a bit here on the show, before deciding to get more in-depth on this topic in a future episode instead of right here and now.
–Facebook goes on a banning spree, terminating the accounts of people they’ve labeled dangerous – such as Alex Jones, Milo, Paul Joseph Watson, and Louis Farrakhan. We each agree Facebook has the right to do this, but also have questions.
–A Scientology cruise ship is quarantined over a case of measles onboard, and this prompts a discussion about vaccines and whether or not they should be mandatory.
–AJ asks: What is the best pro wrestling guest appearance in history? Bobby and Jason give their answers, which segues perfectly into local nutjob Opal Covey making her own pro wrestling debut this week.
–Bryce asks: What are the Strange Boys thoughts on buffets, and do they have any favorites? Neither of us truly enjoy them; Bobby mainly for health issues, and Jason for social anxiety related reasons.
–Carol asks: Are there any topics SFR will not cover? Bobby talks about why we no longer give a platform to conspiracy mongers, and Jason says he doesn’t like covering anything that doesn’t interest him or he has nothing interesting to add to.
END TIMES:
–In today’s End Times segment, Bobby brings up AG Barr being in contempt, and a bit more about Joe Biden and his currently sizable lead for the Democratic nomination.

–Don’t freak out! SFR opens with a song you’ve never heard before (and a brief history of the Toledo rap scene) but we’re still the show you love.
–Game of Thrones was too dark, Bobby says. He couldn’t see a damn thing! But in brighter news, he really liked Avengers EndGame. Jason can’t relate, since he hasn’t seen any of this stuff.
–Jason doesn’t give “two shits or a fuck” about Star Wars, but Bobby is still in the fog.
—Lorraine Warren dies, and while Jason isn’t eager to dance on her grave, he can’t find his way to respecting someone who was responsible for so many lies and hoaxes.
–Church membership at an all-time low in America, with Catholics the biggest loss. Bobby speculates about people being uncomfortable with the child sex scandal, but also admits for the first time on SFR that he now sends one of his daughters to a Catholic school.
–We briefly touch on the attacks that resulted in hundreds of dead in Sri Lanka, and how Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Julian Castro each used the phrase “Easter worshippers” to refer to the massacred Christians. We think it’s peculiar.
–Next, we touch on the concept of Dark Tourism after receiving an email asking us for ideas on places to visit. Boy, do we go crazy! Bobby goes through a list of his own, and Jason is eager to talk about the kill sites of his favorite serial killers.
–Bobby went to Cleveland and accidentally found himself at the Christmas Story house!
-END TIMES: Biden finally announces his candidacy, and Bobby is all “ready, set, Joe!” Plus, William Barr and the Mueller Report has made everyone crazy. Jason has three major takeaways.
