  • SCHIZOPHRENIA-"SCATALOGICAL THOUGHTS"
    What's up all you beautiful kooks! This week the fellas are discussing schizophrenia from some fringe theoretical angles, largely either a "supernatch" (or "snatch" if you're trying to save time) and/or psychotronic conspiracy angle. This one's got a whole lotta everything: psychosis, history, religion, spirituality, science, technology, lively debate, & a reasonable dose of righteous anger at just how fucked up medicine and healthcare is in contemporary America! This week we also issue a challenge to all our listeners to "hex" Chris...let's make it happen people! All this plus one particularly erotic/disturbing (Y.M.M.V.-your mileage may vary!) politically charged edition of "W.W.T.W.?" Another spicy knowledge suppository for the brain coming in hot!

  • BRUCE RUX'S "HOLLYWOOD VS. THE ALIENS"- "DRAMATIC & CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS!"
    Heyyyooooo! Wassup ya beautiful kooks! This week we're discussing Hollywood & mass media representations of UFOs and alien contact as well as their well established military & intelligence community ties towards the role they play in the dissemination of misinformation, disinformation, & "soft disclosure"! This is all by way of an interview by way of a book by way of a gentleman named Bruce Rux and his expansive tome "Hollywood VS. The Aliens" as well as an EXTREMELEY FASCINATING 5.5. hour interview he gave on the "Binnall of America Radio Show" back in 2009. (See the link below!) So where are we now? How far have we come? What's changed since then? We'll attempt & even slightly somewhat succeed at answering all these questions and more on today's show! ENJOY! XOXOXO!

  • BILL SCHNOEBELEN-"SCHNEEBLY"
    A day late and an hour short! In this "mini-episode" we'll be discussing former occultists turned more righteous than thee total bullshit artist Bill Schnoebelen. Bill was once upon a time just so utterly badass that not only was he a Wiccan, a Druid, a Satanist, a "Hardcore Satanist" (see what what we mean?), a Mormon, a Mason, a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker, etc. (No but seriously, he seems to have never had a REAL job anywhere at all in there, hmmm?) Then one fateful day a clerical error at the bank brought him to the light ya boy J. Christo! Now he travels to various churches and lecture halls & speechifying on his monumental bullshit achievements! We all disliked the guy so much we just had to cut this episode short! But fear not you beautiful kooks, we'll be back next week with something far more akin to our usual high concept, thought provoking palaver! ENJOY!

  • EMPEROR NORTON-"THE BIG DOG CANDY MOUNTAIN" (fixed audio/mulligan stew)
    Howdy Kooks! This week we're covering the one and only Joshua Abraham Norton I, Emperor of America, Protector of Mexico, Discordian Saint, & King of The Hobos! This here's an episode that's straight up chock full of old timey frontier weirdness! And speaking of weirdness, we've also got our "WWTW?" segment that all adds together for an episode to shonuff raise some questions. Will Spencer ever time travel? Will Mike ever be considered an actual "intergalactivist"? Will Chris feel the repercussions of free speech? TRAVEL THROUGH TIME WITH US! (WARNING!

  • DFW PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY VOL.1 - "MOOLOCH!"
    HEYYYOOOOO! What's up you beautiful kooks! Can you guess why there's 3 Y's & 5 O's in "HEYYYOOOOO"? FREEMASONS! THAT'S WHY! (Nah, it's just typed that way arbitrarily...honest!) This episode is the first in a spaced out (& SPACED OUT!) ongoing series where the fellas begin by delving into the psychogeographical landscape of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including: the "paranormal ecology", or the "urban demonology" if you will, the "occult history", and the totality of the overall "psychic landscape" of our fair (& often foul!) Metroplex area! First up in this series: we discuss the most infamous crime in Dallas history...THE ASSASSINATION OF JFK! However, we'll mostly be approaching it from a Masonic symbolism standpoint as first posited by O.G. conspiracy crank & certified kook, Mr. James Shelby Downard! We'll also be tossing out quite a few breadcrumbs (if not flat out overtly mention) regarding future topics that we'll be covering later on in this series! IT'S SO DAMNED GOOD, YOU'LL WANT IT INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO INTO YOUR OWN BLOOD! xoxo!

  • VALDAMAR VALERIAN-"MATRIXIXIXIXESESESES!"
    Howdy do kooks! This week we're talking UFOs, aliens, & just what little do we really "KNOW!" about those particular topics. Basically, this episode is intended to be a primer for any and all future alien or UFOlogy related episodes, in an attempt to provide a stable foundation for trying to sift through mounds and mounds of bullshit! WE'RE GETTIN' TO THE BOTTOM A THINGS 'ROUND HERE! RIGHT UP IN THAT BOTTOM! All this plus "W.W.T.W.?" where we peruse the news for a few dudes views on: a sticky-fingered sex toy entrepreneur, a specific as the dickens carjacking, and a double dose of dastardly bastards feasting on just desserts...JUSTICE DESSERTS!

    HEYYYYYYOOOO! What's up all you beautiful kooks! Here it is..."part deux" of our deux part Marc Dutroux series, where we'll be going in depth to all of the highly infuriating, utterly baffling, & extremely suspect particulars of what will come to collectively make up the mindboggling entirety of what's become known as "The Dutroux Case". Join us as we delve into covering the crimes & following court case, as well as all of the maddening peripheral events which only further go on to illustrate the incredibly high likelihood for the existence of a legitimate no shit FRFR nationwide criminal conspiracy! "The Ogre of The Ardennes" may have been locked away in a deep, dark dungeon but is this story truly over? All this & more plus "W.W.T.W.?"! where we talk "Florida Woman", get the inside poop on a newly disgraced politician, then say "See ya in hell!" to one recently dead legend in sports, comedy, & scot-free spousal homicide!

  • MARC DUTROUX Pt.1-PRONOUNCED LIKE "DOUXDOUX"
    Hey there you beautiful, kind, sympathetic and totally understanding kooks! First of all, sorry about the lack of episode last week but the eclipse ended up throwing off our whole schedule & on top of that (woof!) this here...this is some dark, disturbing subject matter that required quite a few breaks in between research in order to keep our mental health at acceptable levels. However, given the current American political, and by extension conspiratorial zeitgeist, we thought that this was a timely topic that needed to be discussed. For those of you who know the story behind the piece of shit that happens to be the subject of this (and our next) episode, then you're well aware of what it is you're in for. For those who don't? Just don't say you were never warned! We'll try our best to gloss over as many of the horrific details whenever possible, but once again, we felt that given the current climate of conspiratorial rhetoric in America today, what with all the Qanon, "cheese pizza", "adrenochrome" shit show inextricably interwoven into politics, this is something that we felt needed to be brought to the fore of public consciousness. It's rough stuff & part deux is likely to be far worse. As stated before, we going to try our very best to maintain a respectful stance overall for the victims involved, while pointing out much of the contemporary hypocrisy, lies, and unmitigated bullshit which surrounds us today. So far this is some of our darker subject material to date and (excluding next episode) will hopefully be one of the very few times we have to address it. But don't fret dear listener, we will whenever possible attempt to mix in a bit of levity & lightheartedness into the mix any and everywhere we can get away with it. If nothing else, we hope this 2 part series supplies you with some much needed food for thought. Thanks for listening!
    *BTW, Pt.2 WILL be posted up this Wednesday! Again, sorry for the wait!

  • ODDIO ARCHIVES SPRING CLEANING!
    Seeing as we just did an episode on sonic weaponry, we thought we'd also go ahead and clean out the old "ODDIO" archives as a bonus mini-episode! Some of these are classics that you've probably heard before while some of them are a tad bit more obscure. Enjoy! 1. The Art Bell Area 51 Caller...a classic! 2. "Bongo" calling from the funny farm about his "Yowie" encounter (pretty sure he's saying this thing almost, umm, tried to "take advantage" of him. Supposedly.) 3. Alleged 911 Bigfoot Call 4. "The Sierra Sounds", supposedly this audio has been analyzed by military intelligence crypto-vocalist researchers who claim that the "non-human" vocalizations had to have been made by creatures at least 7-8 ft. tall and weighing roughly 300-400 pounds! You be the judge. 5. "Fallen Angels" allegedly recorded emanating from beneath the dried up Euphrates River. Or maybe dragons? 6. A supposed radio signal interruption from an unknown source. This one's from Reddit so maybe take it with a whole ocean's worth of salt. 7. This one straddles the fine line between hilarity and tragedy. This particular segment is when America knew that "Mr. Dynamite!" might have a serious problem.
