Alien Draft

What would you do if you found yourself holding the greatest scientific mind in human history… literally? In 1955, after Albert Einstein died, the Princeton pathologist performing the autopsy — Dr. Thomas Harvey — made a decision that would define, and ultimately destroy, his life. He stole Einstein's brain. In this episode, we dive into the bizarre decades-long odyssey of the brain that changed the world. We explore Harvey's obsession with uncovering the source of genius, the fallout that cost him his career and his family, the questionable "science" that followed, and the surprising discoveries about Einstein's biology that emerged years later. It's a story that asks: How far should someone go in the name of discovery — and what happens when a man is consumed by the legacy of another?

In this episode of The Lesser Known People Podcast, we explore the strange, satirical, and unexpectedly influential history of the Church of the SubGenius — a parody religion born from the minds of Doug Smith and Ivan Stang that spiraled into an underground movement embracing conspiracy culture, surrealism, and the eternal pursuit of "Slack." We cover: The origin of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs and his iconic pipe-grin How the Church gained a cult following among artists, pranksters, and counter-culture weirdos The theology of Slack, X-Day prophecies, and the Church's long-running war against the "Conspiracy" The accidental sincerity that grew from a joke The Church's impact on zines, early internet culture, and modern meme communities Equal parts absurd, prophetic, and genuinely fascinating, this episode digs into how a spoof religion became one of the most influential fringe movements of the past 40 years.

Vince Offer wasn't just the "ShamWow Guy" — he was a one-man infomercial hurricane. Before the headset mic, the snappy one-liners, and the industrial-grade sponge towel that could apparently soak up a small lake, Vince was a struggling comedian hustling for a break. What he found instead was a bizarre, winding path through lawsuits, cult documentaries, midnight TV fame, and the kind of late-2000s tabloids that would've eaten anyone else alive.

At 30,000 feet, sanity isn't guaranteed. In this episode of The Lesser Known People Podcast, the crew buckles up for three of the most bizarre in-flight meltdowns ever recorded. From Tiffany Gomas—the "that motherf***er's not real" woman who became an internet legend—to a Haitian man who swallowed rosary beads mid-flight, and a Chinese passenger convinced he was trapped in a time loop, these are the wildest ways people have completely lost it on airplanes. We dig into what really happened behind each viral clip, the psychology of airborne panic, and why something about recycled air and tiny liquor bottles seems to push humans over the edge. It's chaos, comedy, and cabin pressure—LKP style.

This week on The Wi-Files, we descend into the bizarre universe of Rense.com. Who is Jeffrey Rense? What does he believe? And why is his homepage a revolving door of doom and dollar store propaganda? We explore his history, laugh at the unhinged image carousel, and try to make sense of the nonsense. Spoiler: it's nuts. This content was intended to be viewed. Please check out our YouTube channel for the visual elements. https://www.youtube.com/@lesserknownpeoplepodcast6644 Warning: not for the faint of heart or the easily offended. Topics include: The man behind the madness: Jeffrey Rense Right-wing memes and recycled conspiracies Why the internet is still wild Is this satire? (No — but we are.)

This is a side project called "The Wi-Files". Essentially, MST3K but crazy, off-the-wall webistes instead of B-rate sci-fi. Dive into Whale.to — one of the internet's OG conspiracy treasure troves. Jay Munnie, KY-Jelly, and Sean riff through unhinged political cartoons, explore the site's anti-vax stances, and even stumble into an unsolicited rant about circumcision. It's weird, it's wild, and it's the internet uncensored.

The Lesser Known People Network proudly hosts The Wi-Files, presented by Jay Munnie. Check us out! The gang is niche now. In this episode of The Wi-Files, we dive headfirst into the unhinged digital sermon that is Jesus-Is-Savior.com—a fire-and-brimstone relic of the early internet built by blogger David J. Stewart. This chaotic site rails against everything from evolution and abortion to Toby Keith, the Pope, and even Israel—all wrapped in blinking neon fonts over a starry MySpace-style background straight out of 2003. We explore the site's labyrinth of self-referenced articles, radical conspiracy theories, and unfiltered evangelical rage. Whether it's "proof" that dinosaurs never existed or rants against women's pants, this episode is a rollercoaster through one of the web's most notorious corners.

LKP is expanding. We are currently working other projects to be released under the LKP "network". . . . The Wi-Files coming soon.

Rev up your lifted trucks and crack open a cold one because we're diving deep into Buttrock—the most beloved (and mocked) genre of the 2000s. In this episode, we break down the legends: Creed, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, and Buckcherry. From Scott Stapp's open arms to Chad Kroeger's meme-worthy vocals, we embrace the power chords, questionable lyrics, and post-grunge angst that defined a generation. Is Buttrock unfairly hated, or does it slap harder than we want to admit? Tune in for crass jokes, nostalgia, and some guilty pleasure rock anthems.

Kim Dotcom—hacker, tech mogul, internet freedom fighter, or just a massive grifter? From his early hacking exploits and run-ins with the law to building Megaupload into a file-sharing empire (and making millions in the process), his story is as wild as his waistline. We'll break down his rise to infamy, the dramatic FBI raid on his New Zealand mansion, and the legal battles that have dragged on for over a decade. Was he a digital Robin Hood or just another guy gaming the system? Let's dive into the absurd, over-the-top life of the internet's most notorious pirate.
