Hey there friends and weirdos! In this one, we conclude the story of the OG ufologist, Major Donald Keyhoe! We get to the bottom of the "big question" - was Keyhoe silenced for speaking UFO truths, or is there something else fishy going on? We talk UFO lecture circuits, book deals, movie consultations, television appearances, and so much more!

Episode 405 - DOSBox Waifu (Donald Keyhoe, Part 2)

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle talks with Nile about some of the earliest days of ufology with the story of the prototypical ufologist, Donald Keyhoe. How did Charles Lindbergh's aide in the world's first cross-Atlantic solo flight become the world's most famous ufologist of the 1950s? What UFO theories does Keyhoe develop with early ufology? How did he become the director of NICAP? We discuss all this and much more!

Episode 404 - Pressure Off (Donald Keyhoe, Part 1)

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week friend of the show Jules joins the Weird Boys to discuss the paranormal phenomenon known as "ghost trains." When Lincoln died and all his fans around the US gathered to mourn him as his corpse rode around on a train, did the collective anguish create a ghostly spirit train? What about the train disasters around Britain? How can Jules bring Harold Ramis into the conversation as often as possible? We discuss all this and more!

Episode 403 - Turner & Cruise (Ghost Trains)

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we travel down south to the Florida / Alabama border to talk about the monstrous and possibly indestructible Two-Toed Tom! Does a red-eyed, gargantuan, evil gator stalk the swamps of the Panhandle looking for human prey? Is he 14 feet long or 24 feet long? Does this beast of a lizard have a gator harem, on top of all that other stuff?! We discuss all this and much more!

Episode 402 - Triple T-HC (Two-Toed Tom)

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we once again get to examine another angle of the infamous Roswell UFO crash. If a crack, covert squad of secret crash saucer retrieval agents salvaged the UFO at Roswell, wouldn't it follow that the alien technology would end up utilized for human-based technology? Can we explain big leaps in technology with the acquisition of extraterrestrial tech? A certain UFO researcher seems to think so...we discuss all this and much more!
