1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 First, Ben and Celestia ruminate on past Key Bridge conspiracy theories, RFK Jr.'s latest efforts to destroy public health, rage bait and the &quot;Cártel de los Soles.&quot; Then for our main segment Daniel Reed, founder of the West Virginia Skeptics Society, joins us to discuss the Vegetable Man, a cryptid/alien one-hit-wonder. This blood-sucking, fiber-rich fiction is part of Gray Barker's menagerie -- Barker was a colorful character who loved a good story and had a few skeletons in his own closet, one of which led to the creation of the modern &quot;men in black&quot; mythos. Daniel has done his homework and culled heaps of information from the reams of original correspondence in Barker's archives.
