    #197 - Why Isn't Artemis II Landing On The Moon? (Featuring John Plauche)

    We landed on the Moon over 50 years ago—so why is NASA going back… and not even landing? In this episode, we break down the real reason behind the Artemis missions, why Artemis II is only flying around the Moon, and what’s actually changed since the Apollo era. From entirely new spacecraft to stricter safety standards and bigger long-term goals, this isn’t a repeat mission—it’s a complete rebuild. Featuring John Plauche, a mechanical engineer with a degree from Louisiana State University and a Master’s from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. John previously trained NASA astronauts in Houston, supported Space Station operations across Moscow, Japan, and the U.S., and worked on crew equipment for the Space Shuttle in Cape Canaveral and Houston. He now trains first responders on specialized rescue systems in New Orleans. We also go deeper—into the mind of a conspiracy theorist. We break down some of the most common beliefs around the Moon landing, including: Why some people think we never went The “technology gap” argument And how modern missions like Artemis fuel new skepticism Then we separate fact from fiction—what holds up, what doesn’t, and why these theories continue to spread. If you’ve ever wondered: “Did we lose the technology?” “Why aren’t we landing this time?” “Were the original Moon landings real?” This episode answers it all.

    #196 - April Fools Disasters: When Corporate Pranks Went Too Far

    April Fools’ Day is supposed to be harmless fun… but what happens when billion-dollar companies take the joke too far? In this episode, we break down real April Fools pranks that backfired in a big way—from fake rebrands that shook investors to email features that cost people their jobs. Some of these stunts caused public outrage, others triggered real-world consequences, and a few blurred the line between joke and deception entirely. We’re diving into the biggest corporate prank failures and exposing the moment where “funny” turned into a full-blown PR nightmare.

    #195 - Chiropractic: Is It A SCAM?

    What if an entire healthcare industry started with a ghost? In this episode of FAKD, we dive into the bizarre origin story of chiropractic medicine—founded in 1895 by D.D. Palmer, who claimed he learned spinal manipulation from a spirit during a séance. From its supernatural beginnings to its modern-day presence in clinics across the world, chiropractic has evolved into a controversial and widely used form of treatment. We break down the first-ever spinal adjustment, the theory of “subluxations,” and how chiropractic spread into a licensed profession with Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degrees and years of formal education. But we also explore the other side—questionable claims, misleading language, long-term treatment plans, and where the science actually stands today. Is chiropractic legitimate care for back and neck pain… or does it still carry the DNA of its strange, spiritual origins?

And what if the American flags all over Disney… aren’t even real?

    #190 - AI Is Now Hiring Humans

    In this episode, we trace the shocking evolution of AI — from a 1950s academic experiment to today’s powerful autonomous agents — and explore the platforms now allowing AI to hire real humans to complete tasks in the physical world. How does software suddenly have the authority to manage people? Who is funding these AI agents? Are major companies already experimenting with this? And what happens when algorithms become the middleman between work and workers? We break down: ✅ The true origin story of artificial intelligence ✅ The rise of “agentic AI” and why it changes everything ✅ How AI can issue tasks and pay humans ✅ Real-world examples already emerging ✅ The risks, ethical questions, and power shifts nobody is talking about This isn’t science fiction — it’s the early blueprint of a new labor economy. So the real question is… Would you take a job assigned by AI? Or is this the moment the future quietly arrived?
