Step right up and witness the magnificent medicinal miracle of Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus' revitalising podcast! Put some ardor in your larder with our energizing, moisturizing... tantalizing, romanticizing, surprising, "her-prising," revitalizing shite talk! That's right, this week Oisin takes Dani and Justy on an investigation of that grand American tradition: lying to people. Stretching from "The Rattlesnake King" Clark Stanley to "The Liver King" Brian Johnson, selling both literal and figurative snake oil to the public is one of the foundations of the USA, and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Along the way, expect Elon Musk (naturally), Korean skincare, Sepp Blatter, nicotine pouches, and genuinely relevant Simpsons quotes.

Content warning: from 32:44 to 37:35, we discuss details about the online rape academy which was in the news recently as well as the Giséle Pelicot case, in case anyone wants to skip.

Pack a bag, wrap up tight, and follow close behind Dani, Justy, and Oisin as they investigate the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Ticking off a big topic on Dani’s bucket list, we defrost the mystery of what happened to the nine experienced hikers who died in mysterious circumstances in the Ural Mountains in 1959. Was it hypothermia? Military tests? Avalanche? Abominable snowmen? Abominable snowmen from space? Badgers? A time-travelling Dani looking for content? You’ll have to listen and find out. Expect a lot of injury descriptions (naturally, it’s a Dani episode) and mispronunciations of Russian names.

Throw on your leather trenchcoats and tiny sunglasses, it's an episode for the philosophy and quantum physics sickos out there as we hack into the mainframe anad try to figure out simulation theory. What around us is real? How is the Fibonacci sequence so prevalent in nature? Why do we dream? And in Dani's case, what is 1 + 2?

In between the binary code we touch on The Sims, Liverpool-based time slips, Cool Runnings, Schrödinger's cat and Leon Kennedy.
