Amazon was founded on three core things: speed, efficiency, and hard work. To maintain their position in the market, their emphasis on these things has only increased throughout the years, which has caused a LOT of problems for Amazon... and to some unknowing consumers.

This week's booze of choice: Coffee and Carolans

Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they get into why deepfakes could be a larger threat in the future than the general public seems to think.

Electric cars are the future, there’s no denying that. Consumers are not just open to electric vehicles, they’re embracing them, and companies are starting to adapt to market demand. General Motors first launched its EV1 electric car in 1996 and the response from the public was overwhelmingly positive. Waitlists included thousands of people hoping to lease their car. Despite the success, people were shocked when GM announced the cancellation of the program citing lack of interest and profitability. Did GM's cancellation purely come for these reasons? Or were there ulterior motives at play?
Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they dive into the GM electric car conspiracy.

Have you ever wondered how, if there is proof of alien life in Area 51, it hasn’t been leaked yet and become public knowledge? Is it possible it’s the world’s best kept secret? Or is it possible that those who HAVE tried to speak out about it have just been labeled as crazy?
Join Matt and Carolanne as they talk about Bob Lazar, the Area 51 Whistleblower.
This week's booze of choice: White Claw (the Black Cherry flavor, not the gross other flavors).

At this point in history, we've all heard of and seen videos of UFOs and potential alien encounters. Almost all of these videos are taken from somewhere on land or in the air and it's thought that any aliens that do exist would live in space. But what if there was an underwater.. species... that's so much older than humans that they can't be the ones called "aliens"?
Join us this week as we dive into the bizarre discussion of potential life underwater. This week's booze of choice: Dalmore 15 year.
