Summary

The headline might be a little misleading but....if 314 bodies were dumped from their caskets and left in the hot desert sun to become one with the desert, you would probably take notice. In truth, the cremains of 314 people were found about an hour south of Las Vegas, neatly placed in the middle of nowhere. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack begin with questions that might not have answers as they discuss the cremains found in Nevada and what will happen next.

0:09.9	One of my all-time favorite scenes in any movie is from the Big Lebowski.

0:27.5	that encouraged me, you got to go back and watch it. And every single time I watched it, it was
0:33.1	like I was peeling back a layer of, I don't know, a big reveal, if you will.
0:40.5	But contained within that film is the scene toward the end of the movie where the dude and
