Yeah, that was totally unnecessary.

Brazil is looking much better today. 1 X 0 against Ivory Coast by the end of the first half. Let's hope they score at least one more on the second one. :)

What's Brazil like during a World Cup match Rio is weird, hehe. I used to go to Rio a lot when I was dating this girl who lived in Ipanema. And I used to be shocked to see people coming out of bank offices or ATM booths in bathing suits. Creepy. Switzerland surprised everyone here too...

What's Brazil like during a World Cup match I've got nothing against soccer itself. My problem is the butterfly effect: eleven dudes walk into a rectangle of grass on the other side of the Atlantic, and the entire nation of Brazil just frickin' STOPS - or worse, goes absolutely insane.

What's Brazil like during a World Cup match People here are furious at coach Dunga and his players. Anything less than butchering NK (as we did to Tanzania last week) is deemed unacceptable. Also, Kaka was lousy on the field. Just lousy. But I said I don't care about soccer. Damn World...

What's Brazil like during a World Cup match I'm probably the only human in Brazil who doesn't care about soccer or the World Cup. Yesterday was my country's first match, against North Korea. Game's kickoff would be at 3:30 PM by the Brasilia time. We were allowed to leave work by 2 PM. I did...

Yes, maybe "skeptical thinker" fits me better. But, for instance, of all the hypotheses for the UFO phenomenon, I tend to favor the psicosocial one. :)

I'm a skeptic, you know (dodges an egg, two tomatoes and six rotten cabbages coming from the booing audience). What interests me the most about the Villas-Boas case is the little exposure the abductee has had to popular culture at the time. I don't know much about the case of the dead hunters...

Good one, Gene. I always like it when your show has South American guests, since they usually bring up some cases that, for me, are close to home. :) Mr. Huneeus talked about a few interesting Brazilian cases, like the Villas-Boas abduction, which has fascinated me since I was a kid. It's an...

I have so much to learn. What the heck is "paranormal food"?

It's obvious that Ghost Hunters and their spinoffs fake stuff. I mean, come on. What always surprised me the most is that even the fake "evidence" on their episodes sucks so epically. It's childish to say the least. There's that bunch of people in night-vision images, looking very tense and...

Yes, I thought of Star Trek immediately. Life imitating art? :P

So you're answering your own question. I was quoting you as you quote someone, "somewhere". :) I would recommend the Paracast Forums. Nice people there. I mean, here. ;)

So the CIA "invented" Facebook with the sole purpose of secretly collecting information on innocent dumb humans. Well, then I should thank the CIA for having a job, since I'm a social media analyst and copywriter - and Facebook campaigns are a large part of my work. Wait. That makes me a...

Great show indeed. Good talk, good hosting, great guests. Plus, the image of weird cryptid creatures walking menacingly in the dark and sounding like babies crying is something that's gonna haunt my creeped-out imagination for a long time. :P

What a blooper. I ended up posting on the wrong thread. I should have said that on the thread about the 04/28 episode. Shame on me, especially because the discussion on THIS topic seems to be a very compelling one. Forgive me, my friends. :)

I was listening to the episode on my way back from work, and I heard the most epiphanial, surprising an utterly SHOCKING Paracast moment EVER: so the scientist in the underground facility in Independence Day is DATA??? Man... it's true. All these years... I had no idea! I'm shocked. . . . ...

Gene, allow me to gladly jump in the compliment wagon. You are an extraordinary radio host. I once mentioned this on my Twitter, saying that every time @theparacast tweeted something, the text sounded in my head in your distinctive, old-school, classic radio voice - and that's really cool. You...

The bright orange light on the picture looks a lot like the... sun. I hope that's not the oprange light she's talking about.

I'm sorry, but why do you spell "atheism" with an asterisk? It's a honest question. Do you consider the word "atheism" offensive?
