Magical Mystery Radio: Inane Ramblings from the Fringe

Did you know Jesus wasn't the ONLY one resurrected that day? Or that chocolate bunnies are hollow for your own safety and well-being? Or that "Easter" has absolutely nothing to do with "Ishtar" (despite what that Facebook meme would have you believe)?

Speaking of... Facebook employees have been falling for the conspiracy theories they're supposed to be moderating. What is going on over there?

Of course conspiracy theories are already springing up around the Notre Dame fire. Could there be anything to them? The Mueller Report has been released. What earth-shaking revelations have come to light? And can we please put this to bed, now?

Four days to Rapture! Again!!

John's bursting with pride at his unerring ability to see the future. John knows all. Trust in John.

Yes, the Mueller report has been delivered. Yes, it's a massive letdown. Yes, Trump is still president. John argues that we are living through one of the most egregious and elaborate conspiracies in American history.

Adam discovers he's famous. Or at least, a "ghost photo" he took 27 years ago is. Among a certain cohort of modern ghostbusters. He tells the true story of his apparently classic (who knew?) "man in tree" photograph.

Also, we talk about verifiable Catholic Miracles - in particular, incorrupt corpses. Because why not?

Momo! Where did it come from? Is it a hoax? Should parents be concerned? There's something happening here, but what it is ain't exactly clear.

Adam rushes through all the things he WAS going to talk about this episode but is most definitely NOT talking about: New Book American Cosmic, Catholic Miracles, Qi Power, the Mystery of Elisa Lam, Interdimensional Entities, Ed & Lorraine Warren's Haunted Legal Precedent... Alex Jones recently appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience. This was an epic, nearly-five-hour rantfest covering everything from zombie wasps to human/pig hybrids to clandestine government meetings with alien intelligences. In short, it's everything a paranoid conspiracy buff could want and more...

Hey, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Opportunity's last words: did the little Mars rover that could *really* say "my battery is low and it's getting dark"? Do you really want the answer? All about the "Collins Elite" - the secret cabal that controls all things and stands against the demonic inter-dimensional beings that seeded our civilization...

Are personality tests any more accurate than astrology? (For that matter, how accurate *is* astrology?) John and Adam test each other, discuss the Jungian origins of Myers-Briggs, and reveal the personality types most likely to believe in conspiracy theories.

We are back after an extended holiday break. And it's time to face the music: How accurate were we with our 2018 predictions?

We discuss the frighteningly articulate future forecasts of children living in 1904. Did they fare any better than we did in 2018? Psychic Nikki shares her prognostications for 2019. She's probably wrong about everything so we'll deflect criticisms of our inaccuracies by laughing at her. Oh, also -- are we on the verge of an AI Apocalypse? Yeah, probably.

We attempt to respectfully discuss the origins of our Christmas traditions - including reveling, gift-giving, and virgin birthing.

Turns out it's really hard to talk about this stuff and remain one hundred percent respectful.

Were there mythological precedents for the immaculate conception? Of course there were! Was Jesus actually born December 25th? Of course not!

And how do Stanley Kubrick and JRR Tolkien fit into all this? Happy Holidays, dear listeners! See you in the new year! John and Adam

Adam looks into the origin of the "tin-foil hat" and accidentally, very possibly, maybe, stumbles onto a a real conspiracy.

John gives us a current events update, then takes a deep dive into how Russia, despite the collusion nonsense, is very likely waging an information war against the United States to weaken us from within...

...and it involves a mysterious Russian mystic whom many have dubbed "Putin's Rasputin".

It's a rabbit hole that we'll be visiting again, as there's much to unpack about this existential threat to western democracy.

Just hold tight to your tin foil hat.

We're on break this week, but we couldn't leave you empty handed! Feast on a compilation of clips related to the JFK assassination and subsequent coverup.

We discuss: - recently declassified documents - newly discovered information about Lee Harvey Oswald that potentially changes EVERYTHING - new theories about the actual mechanics of the assassination In addition, we chat with Francis Richard Conolly, creator of the epic documentary EVERYTHING IS A RICH MAN'S TRICK.

Have a safe and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Adam shares the tragic story of silent film star Olive Thomas, whose ghost haunts the landmark New Amsterdam Theater in New York City.

John finally talks about the Great Purge of 2018. If you're not mad, you should be. This is dangerous stuff.

Julian Assange says being forced to clean his cat's litter box is a violation of his fundamental rights.

Some dutch guy "identifies" as twenty years younger - and wants to legally change his age.

That giant flying rock might be an extraterrestrial probe. Or not. Or maybe it is. Or not.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! A spooky little treat from John: Edgar Allan Poe's THE RAVEN and THE TELL-TALE HEART.

Best with headphones. ;-)

Enjoy! We'll be back next week with a "normal" episode. In the meantime, stay safe and eat lots of candy!
