It Gets Weird

Welcome back weirdos! This week, we discuss a small, hairy, and strong as hell alien / cryptid that may or may not be able to shoot lasers from its mouth...the Venezuelan "Hairy Dwarves." Yeah, these guys are probably aliens if you believe the stories told about people's encounters with them, but you could easily confuse them with a cryptid. Or maybe, like, a mini-Bigfoot? We also have our own theory about these guys and it happens to involve Hanna Barbera...check it out on this episode of It Gets Weird!

Hello friends, welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Kyle gives us all the low-down on the Bill Gates depopulation conspiracy. Are you an anti-vaxxer? Do you fear tech billionaires, but for all the wrong reasons? Great news, the Bill Gates depopulation conspiracy is for you! We also talk about how to defeat Madagascar, Nixon's teeth, and how to keep your horses healthy. All this and much, much more!

Hey there, weirdos! This week we wanna present you with a question: are you tired of all your "life energy" going to waste? Tired of being unable to "release" your energy blockages? We've got great news! This episode we'll explain how to utilize "orgone energy," a theory of astronomical proportions developed by Wilhelm Reich! We also talk Kate Bush, Sigmund Freud, and conspiracy-themed music! All this and much more!

Welcome back, weirdos! This week is the first dip into a HUGE topic we've been dying to talk about - Area 51! What starts as a general overview of the highly classified government site eventually becomes a discussion about an important player in UFO culture...a man named Bob Lazar. We also get art history totally wrong, make the Lazar / Major Lazer connection, and lots of UFO stuff!

Welcome back, weirdos! This week the Weird Boys step into mostly uncharted territory: we actually revisit a topic! That's right, this is Richard Hoagland, Part Two! This time Nile explains more of Hoagland's interstellar theories, such as the secret to one of Mars's moons, Phobos. We also discuss his, uh, "valuable" stamp collection and the Hoagland free energy theory! We may have groundbreaking stamp investment info in this episode, folks...check it out.

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week Kyle tells Nile and Jules all about the declassified US government operation known as "Stargate Project." This one's for fans of MKULTRA and The Men Who Stare At Goats. In fact, both the book and film about Goat-Staring Men are loosely based off of Stargate Project! What exactly is Stargate Project? A combination of spoon-bending, extrasensory powers, and remote viewing. Take a listen to find out more...

Welcome back, weirdos! This week the boys try to talk about the moon but end up on Mars. Yep, that's right, we're back on the red planet with returning friend of the show Garrett to discuss Richard Hoagland, a conspiracy theorist who specializes in extraterrestrial theorizing. Hoagland not only is most famous for his belief that the Face of Mars is part of a Martian city, but also for his HOGwild theme park full of live pigs runnin' wild! All this and much, much more on this episode.

Greetings, earthlings! On this episode of It Gets Weird, Kyle introduces Nile to Black Boomerang UFO sightings of Poughkeepsie, New York. This is the story of one Greg Boone, an author who worked for the local newspaper. Between Greg and his anonymous photographer accomplice, they believed they had the UFO story of the century...until the cover-up of the century stamped out their dreams. We also discuss hand bells. Extensively.

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Nile tells Kyle about one of the most infamous exorcism cases of all time: the exorcism of Anneliese Michel. Nile tells Kyle all about the devils inside of poor Anneliese, one of whom may or may not have been Hitler. Yes, the Adolf Hitler. An admittedly upsetting case, we still try to find the funnies in the midst of contemplating demon-possessed violence. Was this a case of true demonic possession, or  does the Catholic Church have a lot to answer for?

Hey there friends! This week Kyle mentally breaks Nile trying to explain a really zany conspiracy theory about a disease called toxoplasmosis. What seems to start out as a generic gov't conspiracy turns into a gauntlet of madness. What organization ISN'T a part of this wide-reaching conspiracy to dull the masses with...cat poop disease? Is your pet turning you into a mind-controlled slave? Listen and find out! cw: sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia

Hello again friends! Welcome to the first episode of 2019, the Year of the Cryptid. This week, we discuss projected cryptid visibility rates for the new year. Oh, and we talk about "Am Fear Liath Mòr," or "Big Grey Man," a Scottish folk tale teetering somewhere between cryptid and paranormal entity. Nile gets literal, Kyle squirts some funny juice, and the boys generally try to get to the bottom of the sing-songy, mist-obscured entity known as the Big Gray Man.

To end the year right, Kyle came back to illuminate Nile on the Tunguska Event. For the uninitiated, the Tunguska Event was a massive unexplained explosion in Siberia that puts your favorite explosions to shame. Now, when no blast crater could be found, conspiracy theorists came up with all sorts of fun explanations for this massive blast. Science may think they know what happened, but we get to the truth (hint: aliens) as we unpack the Tunguska Event. We also talk more about butterflies than you could possibly imagine.

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week we're doing our second ever holiday special! Kyle (who is now dead) has been replaced by Jules (who is actually pretty funny) and now Nile takes on the task of explaining a Christmas-time legend: the Krampus! How will Jules handle the traditional podcast blood contract? Is coal enough or should naughty kids go to hell? Just remember: the Krampus can't get you if you're in Florida...

Welcome to a new episode of It Gets Weird! This week, Kyle and Nile fight through mental exhaustion to bring you the legend of the Thunderbird - a Native American tale turned cryptid. How did a game of cryptozoological telephone turn a fantastic legend into a cryptid? What happens if you roll up a buncha snipers into a katamari ball and why is it the world's most dangerous weapon? Will Nile and Kyle be okay?! The answer is probably not, but don't worry...the weird stories will never stop.

Hey there weirdos! It Gets Weird is here to bring you a new episode. This week, Nile's sick and Kyle's trying to get everyone lost in the woods! Jules also joins the boys to discuss the national park conspiracy known as Missing 411. If you're unaware of the Coast to Coast favorite David Paulides, we'll get you up to speed. Are park rangers intentionally screwing up missing persons investigations? Who's truly behind it all? Keep your berries close and listen in.

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Nile tells Kyle all about the United States's and President Eisenhower's first contact with extraterrestrial beings. Many will tell you that this meeting definitely took place (including Eisenhower's own great granddaughter). Did Eisenhower have diplomatic relations with ETs? Was he hot for dentist? What exactly IS a conspiracy?! Answers to these questions are only a play button away.

Hey folks, welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Kyle addresses a long-beloved topic: numbers stations.  Why have these mysterious shortwave radio stations been broadcasting for so long, some even for decades? Who's behind them? Is it aliens? Illuminati agents? Even more terrifying: does Russia have a Dead Man Switch radio station that'll launch a nuclear attack in the event something goes horribly awry? What does a Green Lantern say when he gets down on his knees? All this and much more!

By the eternal boys, it's a new episode of It Gets Weird! This week, Jules joins our hosts for a discussion of the famous Tennessee haunting by the Bell Witch! We've gotta admit, this is the most direct ghost in any haunting we've ever heard of - the Bell Witch seems to know what she wants. She even got to spook a witch hunter and Andrew Jackson! Even better, the legend persists to this day and you can visit the infamous Bell Witch Cave! Settle in for this spooky story...

Hello folks, and welcome back to It Gets Weird. This week Kyle tells Nile and Cromzor all about the famous Australian crytpid: the Bunyip! Just what is the Bunyip? The boys try to get to the bottom of this rabbit hole, but the answers are nebulous. Is it a benevolent water spirit? Is it a monstrous devil that devours humans? Is the drop bear more of a threat than the Bunyip? If you shake the eight ball, you'll get "signs point to YES." Bunyips, drop bears, billabongs and more on this episode of IGW!

Greetings, weirdos! Welcome back. This week, Nile tells Kyle all about the massive, conspiratorial government base at Dulce, New Mexico. Do aliens and shady gov't operatives intermingle underground, performing hybridization projects on humans? Was there an aliens vs humans civil war underneath our very soil? What would be the point of a human-horse-starfish hybrid and what exactly is a starfish gonna do for a centaur? That's just how things are in level six at the terrifying Dulce Base...
