A Silly April fools episode - Captain Jean-Luc Picard ~ Alexander Articles

The galaxy is vast and full of wonders. It is the ancient yearning of the human race to set out and explore the stars and to go where no one has gone before. It was that drive that led a young boy from France to greatness at the head of the Enterprise, the flagship of the United Federation of Planets, and cementing his place as one of the greatest human explorers to ever live. Join Tim and Derek for a very special episode of The Kahless Society as we discuss the very real and actual life of Jean-Luc Picard, a story which takes us from the vineyards of La Barre to the furthest reaches of the cosmos.

When Paranoia is justified - Ruby Ridge ~ Mystery Docket

The 90's were a bizarre time for federal law enforcement, to say the least. With the rise of right-wing militancy and the blossoming militia movement, anti-government sentiment was at a level not seen before in decades amongst the radical fringes of rural society, helped in no small part by the breathtaking incompetence of armed federal agents. Join Tim and Derek as we discuss the first boiling-over of this terrible combination as we discuss the 11-day standoff between US Marshals and the heavily armed and delusional Weaver family in the ranges of rural Idaho.
Rules anytime law enforcment either fucks something up or does something fucked up Derek calls a sip, 3 sips, or a shot.
