  • 027: The Methuen Water Demon, Slaughterhouse Canyon, and the 100 Steps Cemetery

    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.

  • 026: The New World Order

    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.

  • 024: The Ariel School UFO Incident

    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.

  • 023: The Real Men In Black

    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.


    Oh, and our good friend Gino is here!

  • 022: Havana Syndrome, the Mysterious Illness Affecting US Government Employees

    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.

  • 021: Are Giants Real? - The Kandahar Giant and The Big Grey Man of Scotland

  • 020: Kanye Quest 3030 - A Cult Recruitment Tool

    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?
