## Resource

Tim and May celebrate Easter weekend with cocktails and a hilarious deep dive into some of history’s greatest April Fools pranks—from fake volcano eruptions and giant penguin footprints to Saskatchewan’s infamous “metric time” hoax. The episode also pivots into modern misinformation, UFO culture, public perception, and why people so easily believe stories built on a grain of truth.
