Does a mythical elephant-fish hybrid lurk in the oceans off the Indonesian coast? We discuss all this and more!

All this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we conclude the investigation into MK-ULTRA subproject 54, aka MK-DECOY. To finish the story, we learn about another, lesser-known subproject only known by number 61.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile brings two tales of bizarre UFO sightings in Spain. What in the world was "in the air," so to speak, in 1976 around the Canary Islands? What happened that same year at a an Air Force Base in Badajoz? With hundreds of witnesses watching strange lights in the sky for over forty minutes, you'd think we'd have some answers, but alas, not even declassified Spanish government documents can tell us much. We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we learn about some difficult new ideas: Gaia consciousness, the Planetary Poltergeist, and the parapolitics of ParaCryptoUFOlogy. Guiding us through these ideas is a man named Stephen Miles Lewis, aka SMiles Lewis. How can we synthesize what we know about UFOs, cryptids, the paranormal, and the covert operations of intelligence agencies into an overarching theory of The Weird? Are our consciousnesses and electromagnetic fields being manipulated by malevolent forces? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile asks the real big question: what exactly was the lost continent of Mu, who were its inhabitants, and who were the intrepid explorers who uncovered proof of its existence?

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules joins the Weird Crew to discuss the story of Stefan Denaerde and his life-changing contact with extraterrestrial beings from the planet known as Iarga. Can this heroic Dutchman's story help usher in a new, upgraded society that's at peace? Or will the aliens bind him to his word: that Stefan can never actually provide proof of his contact and his two-day off-world seminar learning about Iargian society? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin to tell the tale of Ernest Bryant and the so-called "Scoriton Incident." Or perhaps it's the Scoriton Mystery?

How did Jolly get involved with so many ridiculously shady moments in history? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a look at an obscure alien encounter from Conil, Spain. How did this story stay afloat among all the UFO reports during a 1989 flap?

All this and more!

We also touch on the man who may be responsible, at least in party, for how confounding this story is: James Jesus Angleton. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile decided to get to the bottom of the damn thing. What exactly is adrenochrome and how did it become wrapped up in some of the most deranged conspiracy theories of the era? Is Hunter S. Thompson really who's to blame for all these absurd stories? Or is there any actual merit to adrenochrome as a drug used exclusively by the shadowy elite? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules joins the podcast to discuss three bizarre cryptids all connected by a theme — a theme that everybody but Kyle will have to guess at the end of the episode!

How did an unknown squid creature end up in an Indiana oil pit, then suddenly disappear? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we conclude our coverage of the history of the CIA and UFOs!

Is it all just a grift after all? We also talk HomeGoods, the infamous Joker-Batman boner situation, and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin an overview of the CIA's strange history with the UFO phenomenon. We've heard a lot about the US military and Air Force intelligence's relationship to UFOs, but what the hell has the CIA been up to with all this UFO stuff? Are they also involved in the cover-up? How did the CIA bungle the interception of a mysterious morse code signal recorded from a radio program about extraterrestrials? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a good look at some bizarre alien counters from around the world!

Even better question — what happens when you keep it strictly casual with the mystical peoples? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we investigate the store of Claude Edwards, the "no-nonsense" Missouri farmer who bared witness to a UFO carrying alien entities.

This week we examine the apocalyptic visions, theories, and rituals of the various characters who became enthralled with a comet that passed through the nearby heavens back in 2011.

We revisit some favorite characters in the world of weird and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take more than the recommended dosage of Benadryl so we can visit...the Hat Man. Who is this shadow entity? How did all the memes about him start?

Did the CIA try to do him like they did the Big Bopper? We discuss all this and more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to mix up the formula a little bit and watch a sort-of-documentary, sort-of-mockumentary, sort-of-reality, sort-of-fiction film. We watched and discussed the 2016 movie Operation Avalanche, co-starring the director and writer of the film, Matt Johnson.
