We're dropping this episode today, as well as an extra Halloween special, dropping (ideally) on Halloween! (Or TBD? Fingers crossed folks!) This week we're covering one Mr. Fred Lee Crisman, one of America's lesser known yet very intriguing human nexus points upon which roughly the last 100 years of conspiracy theories connect to either directly or indirectly! This one's all over the place! Subterranean monsters, UFOs, the CIA, LSD, JFK, the M.I.C., MIB, rightwing propaganda, possible psyops, and drug addled alien contactee cults! Hoooo boy! This one here's got a little something for everybody! Give it a listen then become both better informed as well as increasingly attractive to whoever or whatever the particular object(s) of your twisted desires may be! Hey, no judgements here, just loving acceptance. NOW BLAST THIS ONE OUT LOUD FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS! (They'll be glad you did...quite probably...even thank you for it!)

  • CATHOLIC/VATICAN OCCULTISM-"JESUS FREAK OFFS"
    Sep 29 2024
    WARNING! THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SOME VERY HIGHLY "CONTROVERSIAL" INFORMATION WITHIN! This week we've got a double sized super huge episode full of INSANE information regarding occult practices within the Vatican and early Christian church. We'll cover a variety of topics which includes: exorcisms, apostolic procession, black masses, demon summoning, grimoires, & sorcery as it has been practiced within or tangential to the Catholic Church. Then in the second half of the show we'll do our best to clearly convey some of the...let's say "highly controversial" theories of one Dr. Ammon Hillman, an early Greek language philologist and expert in ancient pharmacology and how drugs, sex, & mystery religions contributed to early Christianity as well as the...dubious practices potentially used by "The Flying J!" himself, Jesus "Herbert" Christ! All this plus "What's Weird This Week?" Join us as we try to maintain a comedy podcast while also covering some of the heaviest subject matter we've ever covered! AND! Check out the show notes and socials for further clarification and crazy rabbit holes into today's topics! (NOTE: We didn't even have time to cover The Borgia "Pornocracy" or St. Cyprian of Antioch, patron saint of sorcerers & magicians, so check them out too!)

  • MANTIS ALIENS-"PSYCHO-SURGICAL SEX CANNIBALS...& THEY'RE THE GOOD GUYS!"
    Sep 19 2024

    WHAT'S UP KOOOOOOOOOOOOKS! This week we're taking a 3D stereo-optic vision look into UFOlogy's most misunderstood good guys (OR ARE THEY?!): THE MANTIS ALIENS! We'll examine their fascinating earthbound cousins then jump into the alien and cryptid insectoid lore then get deep into the DMT realms where these entities are allegedly encountered all around the world by numerous unaffiliated psychonauts. Then finally we close out with quick recaps over the strange data of insectoid adjacent mad science bastard spawn of lost or obscure forgotten figures such as Andrew Crosse or Viktor Grebinnikov and just how they both bugged out. All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" Give it a listen as it wriggles it's way up under your skin! "YUCK!" and/or "YUM!"

  • THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER-"MINOTAUR MACGUFFIN"
    Sep 7 2024
    HEYYOOO! What's up everybody? This week things are gonna get dark as we examine the infamously UNSOLVED "Black Dahlia" murder mystery! We'll try our best to get to know the victim, Elizabeth Short (or "Betty", as she liked to be called) & try to dispel many of the awful rumors and misinformation about her that have spread since her gruesome death. We'll take a look at the looooong list of suspects, both usual and unusual. We'll examine some of the theories as well as why they may or may not be close to the truth, while paying extra attention to what is currently the most popularly accepted & highly lucrative *cough[BULLSHIT!]cough* narrative behind the murder. Finally, we'll take a quick peek into the inextricably linked & extremely dysfunctional Hodel family, as we rummage through the many skeletons in their collective closets. ALL THIS PLUS AN ALL NEW "WHAT'S WEIRD THIS WEEK?" Get yourself some latex gloves and put a dab of vapo-rub under your nose as the fellas delve into the infamously... STILL UNSOLVED..."BLACK DAHLIA" MURDER MYSTERY! (OH! And of course we'll be throwing out a few theories & ideas of our own, so be sure to stick around to the end!)

    Aug 29 2024

    THREE MEN & A NASTY! This week we invite a special guest and old school regular "Kooks & Cranks" fixture, Matt a.k.a. "Mr. Nasty", as he joins the fellas to discuss the various potential dreamscapes and/or nightmare worlds presented by the advent of ubiquitous massive scale quantum computation (that is, if such a thing is even truly achievable). Tune in and listen to four increasingly inebriated individuals attempts to break down some super scientifical type shit! All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" featuring therapy parrots, the unimpeachable integrity of Mark Zuckerberg, UK gravy wrestling, a nicotine addicted lake monster, & more! ALL OF OUR CALCULATIONS HAVE PROVEN THIS SHOW TO BE... OBJECTIVELY AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

  • Minisode-"Red Devil Disco CERN Inferno!"
    Aug 22 2024

    HEYYOOO! What's up ya beautiful kooks! This week we're doing a mini-episode (or "minisode", if you're trying to "S.T." {that's "Save Time"}) due to the Chris household being over run with COVID-20. It's one more cuz he does everything TO THE MAX! Hopefully we'll be back to our full roster next week, along with a special guest! So this week we'll be sort of cleaning house with an extended version of "What's Weird This Week?" in which Mike & Spencer cover a vast haphazard array of strange subjects, such as: lil' red devils, the "demon cat" of D.C., another far less fortunate cat, plus a random grab bag of wacky CERN related apeshit! We'll cover all this AND! provide answers to questions no one asked like: "What happens to Mike's voice after screaming at the internet all day?" or "Can Spencer achieve a triple entendre?" and of course finally,

    "Does Chris REALLY have COVID, or is he currently trying to find his way back home after being abandoned in the NJ Pine Barrens?" LISTEN & FIND OUT ALL ABOUTSITS!
