From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events.

You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.

A production of I Heart Gradio's How Stuff Works.

Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt.

They call me Ben. We are joined as always with our super producer, Paul Mission Control Deccanth.

Most importantly, you are you, you are here and that makes this stuff they don't want you to know.

How you feeling today, Matt? Feeling, feeling well. It's finally colder here. So much colder than it has been

and that I get to wear my, you know, my black leather gloves and my big black jacket and my black hat when I'm driving.

And I feel like some kind of anti-super serial killer, hero.

Uh, so I know Paul Mission Control Deccanth just chimed in with serial killer. I don't know if I made it on the mic.

No, I don't think it did. But that's why it was a super serial killer hero.

Yeah, driving with your balaclava on. Yeah, it just feels good.

Yeah, I believe this is one of the states where it is technically illegal to operate a motor vehicle wearing a mask.

Yeah, have you heard about that? Probably but they haven't caught me yet.

Yeah, I don't see how that would apply to things that require helmets like motorcycles and so on.

Anyhow, yeah, I also felt the strange switch suddenly we woke up and it was fall, you know, or maybe we skipped fall and it's just winter now.

Yeah, it's getting pretty close.

And, you know, like many people dealing with the rapidly changing climate, we are discovering a paradigm shift in conversation.

Remember those old Halsion days where it was considered boring or small talk to talk about the weather?

We were growing up. That's something old people and boring people did.

Yeah, but I think maybe we're just a little older and more boring.

That is valid. That's a valid assertion.
