    Interview with Archaeologist Dr. Brian Hayden

    Interview with Archaeologist Dr. Brian Hayden

    On this episode of Terribly Vexed, we delve into the world of prehistoric secret societies with archaeologist Dr. Brian Hayden. Join us as we embark on a journey through time to uncover the fascinating truths about ancient feasting rituals and their profound connections to our past. With Dr. Hayden's expert guidance, we attempt to unravel the mysteries surrounding prehistoric secret societies and their clandestine gatherings.

    What makes this episode truly compelling is Dr. Hayden's insights into the significance of feasting in these ancient cultures. Through his engaging storytelling, we come to understand how these communal feasts were not merely about sustenance, but rather served as intricate social mechanisms, forging bonds, and solidifying alliances within these early societies.

    Dr. Hayden also provides compelling evidence of how these ancient practices continue to shape our modern world. Drawing parallels between past and present, he invites listeners to reconsider their own understanding of human behavior and social dynamics.

    So whether you're a seasoned enthusiast of archaeology or simply curious about our shared history, join us for an enlightening discussion that promises to leave you both informed and inspired.

    False Flags: Was Hamas allowed to attack?

    False Flags: Was Hamas allowed to attack?

    On this episode of the Terribly Vexed Podcast, we dive into the world of false flag operations, particularly within the complex landscape of Israel's history. False flags, deceptive maneuvers orchestrated to appear as if perpetrated by a different party, have been a controversial tool throughout history.

    We explore the unsettling strategies behind false flags, from Operation Northwoods to the elusive "Strategy of Tension." Delve into intriguing incidents such as Pearl Harbor, the mysterious "Remember the Maine," the enigmatic case of the dancing Israelis, and the haunting story of the USS Liberty.

    Questions arise: How have intelligence agencies suspiciously dropped the ball in pivotal moments? What connections exist between the JFK assassination and alleged false flag operations? Could there be a parallel between the ambiguity of the USS Liberty incident and other historic events? How do these events shape our understanding of geopolitical narratives?

    Furthermore, what lessons can we draw from the blurred lines between truth and deception in history? How do false flags influence public perception and geopolitical decisions? And ultimately, how can we distinguish between genuine events and orchestrated deceptions in a world where truth is often obscured?

    In a discussion that's bound to provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and unravel layers of complexity, we seek to shed light on the shadowy realm of false flag operations, aiming to separate fact from fiction in Israel's history and beyond. Tune in for a captivating exploration into the murky world of orchestrated deception!

    On this episode of the Terribly Vexed Podcast we finish up our interview with Ty Black.

    We come back from a break and start right off by exploring Ty's conversion to Judaism and and we ask what the deal is with kosher foods. We delve into the world of bored billionaires and their idle hands, unveiling the extravagant and sometimes bizarre endeavors they embark upon.This leads us to the interesting world of spirit cooking and the Unarians.

    But that's not all – we delve into the realm of stem cells and cloning for body parts, where the boundaries of ethics and science blur, and we grapple with the concept of playing god. Could there really be an island out there full of cloned dinosaurs?

    We also touch on the recent fires in Maui and the conspiracies that have cropped up regarding their possible nefarious origins.

    To wrap it all up, we lighten the mood with some wacky questions, like whether water is wet or a perplexing choice between looking like Jar Jar Binks or sounding like Jar Jar Binks!

    The Third Man Factor

    The Third Man Factor

    Join us on the latest episode of the Terribly Vexed Podcast as we dive into the fascinating world of the Third Man Factor. 


    As always, we start things off with the dirty thirty. Josh talks about a car wreck he narrowly avoided which leads us into the chaos that unfolded at Burning Man this year. Then we wrap it all up with a nice little chat about cults.


    The real topic of discussion, however, is the Third Man Factor, a phenomenon where individuals facing life-threatening situations report the presence of an unseen, guiding figure. Listen in as we share incredible stories from history, featuring legends like Ernest Shackleton, Charles Lindbergh, Lawrence of Arabia, and the curious case of Frank Smythe, who went so far as to offer his "third man" a snack!


    We wrap up our exploration by delving into the theories behind the Third Man Factor – is it a guardian angel watching over us, or a psychological coping mechanism? Join us as we attempt to unravel this mysterious and thought-provoking phenomenon.

    Operation Condor - State Sponsored Terror

    Operation Condor - State Sponsored Terror

    We kick off this episode of the Terribly Vexed Podcast by delving into the latest updates from the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) hearings, where government officials and experts discuss the intriguing world of unidentified flying objects.

    Moving on, we shift our focus to an equally intriguing topic: the ASCH Conformity Tests and the implications they hold for society. We analyze the psychology behind conformity and how it shapes human behavior, shedding light on the mechanisms that drive us to conform to social norms and expectations. Additionally, we discuss the concerning increase in incidents involving airline passengers, exploring the factors contributing to these unsettling events and their potential consequences for the travel industry and passenger safety.

    However, the heart of this episode lies in our comprehensive exploration of Operation Condor, a dark and secretive collaboration among several South American countries during the 1970s and 1980s. Join us as we unravel the intricate web of political intrigue, espionage, and human rights abuses that characterized this covert operation. We delve into the countries involved, including Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia, and examine the key figures who orchestrated this operation, such as Augusto Pinochet, Jorge Rafael Videla, and Alfredo Stroessner. Through a careful examination of historical events and dates, we shed light on the ruthless tactics employed to suppress political dissidents and maintain control, leaving a lasting impact on the region's history.

    As we wrap up, we tease an unexpected perspective that ties the Operation Condor narrative to the world of UFOs and the unexplored mysteries of the cosmos. Join us for an eye-opening journey that will leave you questioning the boundaries of history, politics, and the unknown.

Good Stuff

Josh and Justin have a good dynamic going here. They cover a lot of interesting and mysterious topics and they make me laugh quite a bit. I especially like when Josh rants about stuff.

Glad I found you

Love to listen to you both. Enjoy the Josh tirades. Wish you could film the podcast at same time just to watch the interaction and finger pointing.

I also love the long editions. Listen on the 20 minute car rides to work and especially appreciate it during the 2.5 hour drives. Ignore the 1 hour friend.

Keep it going.
