Conspiracy Realists

It's been a while! But we're back and ready to dive back into all of the strange conspiracy theories you can find out on the internet. This episode, Austin, Nick, and Gino talk about the strange phenomenon known as Spontaneous Human Combustion, including real cases that have been recorded throughout history — and possible explanations for what could be behind this mysterious condition.

There are dozens of cryptids out there, but on this episode, Austin, Nick, and Gino put these cryptids to the test to determine, once and for all, who is the ultimate cryptid. Mothman vs. Chupacabra Mongolian Death Worm vs. the Jersey Devil Bigfoot vs. the Flatwoods Monster The Dover Demon vs. the Squonk Ningen vs. the Grootstlang Loch Ness Monster vs. the Fresno Nightcrawlers The Michigan Dogman vs. the Loveland Frog Ogopogo vs. the Batsquatch The Dover Demon vs. the Squonk What will come out on top!?

We're back with another episode! This month, we're talking about three popular urban legends and the stories (or lack thereof) behind them: the Methuen Water Demon, a demon that might as well be a leaky pipe; Slaughterhouse Canyon, the story of a grieving mother who murdered her children; and the 100 steps cemetery, which is said to give you a vision of your own demise. But really, like everything else we talk about on this podcast, it's mostly BS. Follow us on Instagram: @theconspiracyrealists Email us: consiracyrealistspodcast@gmail.com

The New World Order is a major talking point among many conspiracy circles, but what exactly is it? That's what Austin, Nick, and Gino set out to find out — and oh boy, this one's a doozy! Unsurprisingly, the New World Order conspiracy theory has anti-semitic roots deeply grounded in right-wing beliefs and propagated by con artists and conspiracy pundits like Alex Jones. So strap in, grab a drink, and dive into the world of conspiracies with us. Follow us on Instagram: @theconspiracyrealists Email us: conspiracyrealistspodcast@gmail.com

In September 1994, more than 60 children at the Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe said that during recess, they watched as several silver flying discs landed in a nearby field and humanoid figures dressed all in black emerged. The "men" then spoke to the children telepathically, showing them visions of an impending environmental disaster on Earth, before getting back in their ships and leaving. The incident became so popular and widespread that BBC journalists and a Harvard psychologist got involved and conducted interviews with the children.

Here come the Men In Black, Galaxy Rear-Enders — wait, what? That's right, we're back with another hot and steamy new episode for you. This week, we're talking about the Men In Black — but no, this isn't a film review. The real life Men In Black are much scarier than their movie counterparts, appearing to UFO witnesses and essentially gaslighting them into saying they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! It's been a solid 7 months since we last uploaded, but worry not because we are back. You'll notice in this recording that we say a few different times that it's only been three months since we last released an episode, and that's because we recorded this bad boy way back in October, but life got busy and editing took a long time.Hey, it happens. Anyway, if you're still reading this, this episode's all about Havana Syndrome, a strange auditory phenomenon that affects U.S. and Canadian government employees stationed overseas. Those affected reported feeling a weird, pulsing sensation and hearing a mysterious noise before falling ill, most often with nausea, headaches, and other lesser symptoms. In rare instances, however, victims of Havana Syndrome have also reported significant memory loss and cognitive decline. To make matters worse, no one knows what's causing this or who could possibly be behind it — if anyone is, at all.

This week, Austin and Nick are back with a new theme song, new cover art, and a new conspiracy theory. Kanye Quest 3030 was a seemingly innocent fan game released by a user called Phenix in 2013, but two years later players would discover the dark hidden secrets behind the game's creation. Is Kanye Quest really just a fun, surprisingly good indie game? Or is it a tool used to recruit new members to the cult of Ascensionism?

After a brief 2-week hiatus, Austin and Nick are back to discuss the infamous Roswell, New Mexico UFO Incident. It may be one of the most well-known UFO cases of all time, but how much of it is true? Did little grey men actually crashland in the New Mexico desert, or was it just a weather balloon as the government claims?

Some bridges, it turns out, are meant to be avoided.This week, Austin Harvey and Nick Sarnelli take a look at some of America's most haunted bridges, and Nick shares the horrifying story of a man named Jimmy C.

After a week-long hiatus, Austin and Nick are back! This week, Conspiracy Realists are taking a look at the mysterious circumstances around the death of famous author, Edgar Allan Poe. Did he drink himself to death? Was he mugged? Who was Reynolds? And why, on his deathbed, did Poe mutter the word, "Croatoan?" In fact, Croatoan has been linked to several mysterious disappearances including the infamous robber, Black Bart, author Ambrose Bierce, and Amelia Earhart.

This week, we take a look at one of the strangest conspiracy theories out there: Finland doesn't exist.

For years, people who have experienced sleep paralysis have reported seeing the same figure watching them: a silhouetted man, identifiable only by his wide-brimmed hat. Known as "The Hat Man," the figure has become something of a legend, but could this legend hint at something more? This week, Nick and Austin are going to find out.

The Conspiracy Realists are live from Austin's apartment (and then heavily edited for comedy's sake) in this episode all about the mysterious cryptid known as the Mongolian Death Worm, a 2-foot, sausage-like creature with venomous bile and razor-sharp teeth. Nick's got the evidence, but if we're being honest, most of this episode is jokes about f***ing the Mongolian Death Worm. Specifically, Dick Cheney f***ing it.

This week, the Conspiracy Realists dive into the Wayback Machine and unearths a conspiratorial gem from 2006: a shoddy old HTML site known as Truthism. Truthism tells the tale of the Anunnaki, reptilian aliens who rule over humanity from the center of the Hollow Earth (AKA the Inner Earth) and use us as energy, the Cube Sun, false religions, false governments, secret societies, and blatant misogyny. In Part One, Austin and Nick go over the original version of Truthism from 2006, which is tame by comparison. Tune in next week for Part 2, where they go over the 2010, 2012, and 2015 updates to the site, which are, well, much more Incel-y.

This week, Nick and Austin Head back to New Jersey's Pine Barrens to investigate another strange conspiracy — that exiled scientists created a device they called "The Egg" to transport themselves to another dimension where humanity does not exist.

In Salem, New Hampshire, there exists a hill so mysterious it was named Mystery Hill. The mountain is covered in strange rock monoliths and a deep, underground maze-like cave system. However, it was later renamed America's Stonehenge due to its similarities to the other peculiar rock structure. This week, Austin has compiled the history and lore surrounding Mystery Hill, and together, he and Nick will discover the truth.Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @TheConspiracyRealistsEmail us at 2guys1truth@gmail.comMusic Credits:Seventh Seal by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4340-seventh-sealLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/2guys1truth.

The original Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green supposedly contained a song — the Lavender Town theme — with frequencies so high and unpleasant that it drove children to commit suicide.Or did they?While the story makes for an interesting, spooky Creepypasta, it also reignited the interest in Pokémon at a time when the series' sales were hitting an all-time low. Could Nintendo have invented the story of the haunting song to help increase sales?

In 2012, researchers from CERN discovered the Higgs Boson particle, a particle they said is "crucial to the stability of the universe." If something were to destabilize the particle, it would open a black hole that swallowed us up, leaving us in a dark, empty void. Unless... we exist in a multiverse. Austin has scientific evidence that this might have happened, and this week he tries to convince Nick that it did.Follow us on Instagram @2Guys1TruthSubscribe so you get notified when we upload a new episode!

But how does the Queen retain her youthful vitality at such an old age? Is the Queen hiding a dark secret beneath her regal facade? A secret that involves... human flesh?
