Meet Your Fakes and Frauds Host, Thurston Mabeus Penwick the Third
Thurston Penwick III is a fearless voice of reason in an age drowning in nonsense. Armed with nothing but an unbreakable commitment to truth and a finely tuned sense of superiority, Thurston has spent over two decades battling the forces of superstition, pseudoscience, and bad decision-making.
After earning a degree in Higher Studies with a minor in Thinking Harder Than You, Thurston quickly distinguished himself as a relentless seeker of reality. His early work included dismantling urban legends in online forums, an endeavor that culminated in what he describes as “a grassroots movement of mass intellectual awakening,” but what others might describe as “arguing with strangers for sport.”
Refusing to be silenced by common sense, social tact, or basic human kindness, Thurston founded Fakes and Frauds — now universally recognized by people who have heard of it as the internet’s last bastion of pure skepticism. His mission: to drag humanity, kicking and screaming, toward the light of basic logic.
When he’s not surgically disassembling false beliefs, Thurston enjoys intense debates (with or without willing participants), whiskey, and perfecting the art of the disdainful eyebrow raise. He lives in self-imposed intellectual exile somewhere between Reason and Righteous Fury, and he welcomes you to join him — if you can keep up.
