    When the most well-executed espionage happens, you have no idea it was  even carried out. Today, I will explain how multiple NFL owners, a  Hollywood screenwriter, a Super Bowl winning coach and others were  involved in a devious plan to turn human against human, divert millions  in taxpayer money, and weaken government defenses ...  a plan that has  the stench of chicken deception written all over it.

    When it comes to transportation safety, there is quite a lot to  consider. Remember, chickens can fly, but not very far. So, poultry  deployments require long distance modes of travel. Today we take a look at chickens and the world of transportation and shipping.

    Season 1, Ep. 34 - The Idiot Box, Bikini Bottom and a G.O.A.T.

    “Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a  kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most  horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.” No,  those were not my words. That was a quote by Werner Herzog, German film  director, writer, and actor. Today we'll look at how chickens are  portrayed on screen.

    Season 1, Ep. 33 - The Shape of Evil

    People watching for the Illuminati have it wrong. They're not looking at  the appropriate indicators for trouble. It's not a triangle or pyramid  you should be watching out for. It's an oval, the shape of an egg. And  the signs are all around us: chickens are up to no good.

    Season 1, Ep. 32 - It's All Fun and Games Until Chickens Get Involved

    Video games have been around for decades, and have had  a significant influence on culture around the world. It's a massive,  fast growing industry. In today's episode, we'll look at how  chickens are already undertaking efforts to leverage that size and  influence in their nefarious schemes, experimenting with virtual  worlds and alternate sets of rules.
