On this episode of Terribly Vexed, Josh and Justin kick things off with Tim Burchett appearing on Joe Rogan and claiming he’s been briefed on UFOs/UAPs that may not be coming from the skies at all — but from beneath the ocean. From there, the conversation spirals into the explosive growth of AI data centers, the insane amount of electricity and water they consume, and why communities across the country are beginning to push back. The guys also discuss the proposed facility tied to Arconic / Alcoa in Alcoa and why some people believe America’s infrastructure is nowhere near prepared for what’s coming.

The episode also dives into the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, the bizarre cultural amnesia surrounding the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, and reports of a cruise ship allegedly filled with passengers infected with hantavirus. Somewhere along the way, Josh and Justin accidentally solve overpopulation, question half of recorded American history, and uncover what may be the greatest lie ever told: apparently coonskin hats were never actually a real widespread thing.

Conspiracy theories, current events, societal collapse, historical fraud, plague ships, underwater UFOs, and absolute nonsense — just another episode of Terribly Vexed.
