Episode #190 – James Randi & Matt “The Tube” Crowley

Today during our shortened free talk segment, we discussed the recent legal issues that have sprung up inside the Cryptomundo bubble. A recent run in Bobby and Nick Callis had with Larry Flaxman. We get into the possible new TV show Patrick HT Doyle maybe working on. We also reminisced about the first time we had James Randi on and Korbus almost puked. What can I say? He made us nervous.

James “The Amazing” Randi

There isn’t much that we do on Strange Frequencies Radio that thrills us as much as talking with James Randi. Today during his celebrated return, we talked about his recent lifetime achievement award from the Magic Castle and discussed the intersection between magic and skepticism. How does a background in conjuring help with investigations? And are magicians doing enough to combat harmful nonsense? We also talked with the “Amazing” one about atheism, and about the conflict between the atheist and skeptical communities. Also, what does Randi have to say to those who criticize both him and the skeptical movement in general for not being more outspoken about the legal issues involving he and his long-term partner?

enthusiast on all sorts of weird stuff, Sasquatch in particular, but also a member of one of the most famous circus sideshow troupes of all time: The Jim Rose Circus. We talk to him about his many famous stunts, including supergluing bowling balls to his hands, blowing up hot water bags with only the sheer force of his lungs, and the infamous stunt known as “Garvage” which you just have to hear to believe. Let’s just say it involves beer, ketchup and…stomach acid. Oh man, I’m gonna barf just thinking about it. Listen at: http://www.strangefrequenciesradio.net/Shows/sfr_show190_hour3.mp3

About Bobby the Paranormal Skeptic

Bobby Nelson is a skeptic, writer, and co-host of Strange Frequencies Radio. His personal blog can be found online at www.porkrhine.com At one time, Bobby was what could be called a "true believer" in paranormal phenomenon. Having been an active investigator of the paranormal for 12 years with several different Toledo based teams, he has examined countless claims of activity. But years worth of research and investigation proved to him that the evidence for these claims are generally lacking and, furthermore, the vast majority of so-called scientific paranormal investigators were using improper methodologies which caused them to draw both false and misleading conclusions.
