    U.F.O. Balloons 2023 - Full of Hot Air With Matt & Kev

    Nobody asked for it and we have delivered! What is the deal with all these U.A.P.'s (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon)? Are they Chinese spy balloons? U.F.O.'s (Unidentified Flying Object)? Perhaps it's the balloon your Auntie gave you on your birthday, but your jerk cousin Derek was jealous because he didn't get a balloon so he took yours and then let it go, and then it floated away? It wasn't even your birthday Derek, I haven't forgot...I digress. Join us listener as we attempt to lay out a timeline and then speculate wildly about the latest News story that we are woefully unqualified to provide any useful information about.
