  • THE STARGATE CONSPIRACY-"PYRAMID SCHEMES"
    Jun 16 2024

    HEYYOOO! What's up you beautiful kooks! Sorry for the (re)tardy release of this new episode but there's recently been an inexplicable rise in the number of enigmatically exploding toilets in our lives. (Specifically, an increase in total overall quantities from zero to one, so things have escalated quite quickly.) Despite these developments, we

    bring you an all new Kooks & Cranks joint where the topic of discussion is "The Stargate Conspiracy" (written by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince) outlining a

    potentially insidious plot that's already gotten us all into watching "Ancient Aliens" then saying things to ourselves and/or others such as: "Well obviously!" or "I always knew something was up wit dat shit!" & other statements of this nature. (Hey, we've all done it.) But what if there exists a hidden, intentional push by forces unseen or even from beyond, overseen by secretive elites of academia, media, & the military-industrial complex, that are largely the same individuals involved with top secret psychic spy programs, defense/aerospace, or various archaeological expeditions around the world in search of what could very well be our amazing otherworldly origins! Do you trust the people in charge of making such discoveries? If you answered "yes" then be sure to contact us about our limited time offer on credit & debit card number based BINGO! game played over the phone, giving away numerous opportunities to win extended stay timeshares and/or zipline sky miles! Or, WE come to YOU to remove every pesky bit of cluttered copper pipes inside your walls, all while you're away at work, to ensure the utmost efficiency! AHHHHHH! We know y'all are too darn smart to fall for all that! But is any of that other stuff up above actually true? Do the sensible thing and listen as we put you up on the scoop! DEUCES!!

    Opening/closing theme: "Ghost Town" by Aves, as well as "Funkytown" (instrumental version) by Lipps Inc.

  • SCHIZOPHRENIA-"SCATALOGICAL THOUGHTS"
    Jun 5 2024

    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!

    May 23 2024

    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"
    May 16 2024

    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!


    Opening/closing theme: "Ghost Town" by Aves, also including "Harlem Hindoo" by Al Hirt


    SOURCES: a bunch of mind numbingly awful books written by "The Schneebs" as well as this handy dandy timeline chart of his time spent accumulating occult power! https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZAQVVSy3Z60/ThNPmIc5S6I/AAAAAAAACWw/lL4ewu4fsxk/s1600/bill-schnoebelen-time-line.jpg

  • EMPEROR NORTON-"THE BIG DOG CANDY MOUNTAIN" (fixed audio/mulligan stew)
    May 9 2024

    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! We're not held liable for any form of quantum chicanery however, just FYI.) XOXOXO!
