It Gets Weird examines anything from conspiracy theories to cryptozoological creatures to the paranormal and anything else that we find interesting.
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile decided to get to the bottom of the damn thing. What exactly is adrenochrome and how did it become wrapped up in some of the most deranged conspiracy theories of the era? Is Hunter S. Thompson really who's to blame for all these absurd stories? Or is there any actual merit to adrenochrome as a drug used exclusively by the shadowy elite? We discuss all this and more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules joins the podcast to discuss three bizarre cryptids all connected by a theme — a theme that everybody but Kyle will have to guess at the end of the episode! Did an underwater welder witness a living firehose in the Gulf of Mexico? Is there a mutated octopus monster living in the walls of a haunted London townhouse? How did an unknown squid creature end up in an Indiana oil pit, then suddenly disappear? We discuss all this and much more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to watch and discuss another installment in the "Shock Docs" series of documentaries. This one is called Demon in the White House, an exploration of the strange paranormal happenings in America's most sacred of politics buildings. Do ghosts of tragically dead children roam the halls of the White House? Or is it something far more sinister — a demonic force that has its finger on the big, shiny nuclear bomb button? We discuss all this and much more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we indulge in a Thanksgivingtime haunting, discussing the ghosts of the Dock Street Theater! How is it that both John Wilkes Booth and his father Junius Brutus can't seem to escape bad vibes in theaters? And how did Nettie Dickerson become a vengeful spirit dressed in red? Do Nile and Kyle finally have a business idea that's going to make them the big bucks? All this and more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we conclude our coverage of the history of the CIA and UFOs! Does the CIA's history amount to anything more than a series of flubs and total exasperated disinterest? Why does the Majestic-12 hoax keep coming back over and over again? Is it all just a grift after all? We also talk HomeGoods, the infamous Joker-Batman boner situation, and much more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin an overview of the CIA's strange history with the UFO phenomenon. We've heard a lot about the US military and Air Force intelligence's relationship to UFOs, but what the hell has the CIA been up to with all this UFO stuff? Are they also involved in the cover-up? How did the CIA bungle the interception of a mysterious morse code signal recorded from a radio program about extraterrestrials? We discuss all this and more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we investigate stories about a mysterious monkey cryptid known as the Devil Monkey! Why does this weird, multifaceted critter sound a whole hell of a lot like a kangaroo? Is it a vicious beast or something supernatural, or perhaps intelligent? We talk monkeys, self-help, more sad dog stuff, and so much more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we take a good look at some bizarre alien counters from around the world! In our first encounter, two French kids run into four bizarre beings with silky, black bodies. Did these aliens get spooked by the two kids, fly into their spaceship, and fly away in a panic? Then in Brazil, did a bus driver get abducted by a bunch of bizarre robotic beings and shown threatening images? We discuss these cases and much more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile tells Kyle the secrets of the hidden, mystical city of the Philippines referred to as Biringan. We learn about Engkantos, the spirits and elementals who populate the mysterious city, and discover the secret to identifying them as they walk amongst humanity. What happens when the veil is thin and you pass through Biringan? What do you do when an Engkantos falls in love with a human? Even better question — what happens when you keep it strictly casual with the mystical peoples? We discuss all this and more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we investigate the store of Claude Edwards, the "no-nonsense" Missouri farmer who bared witness to a UFO carrying alien entities. How did these creatures come to be known as the Tuscumbia Penguins and just what was it that Edwards saw that fateful Valentine's Day morning? Is there any terrestrial explanation for the extraterrestrial penguin critters? We discuss all this and more!
Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we examine the apocalyptic visions, theories, and rituals of the various characters who became enthralled with a comet that passed through the nearby heavens back in 2011. Was this comet a bigger, badder, more Nibiru-like object than science had initially assumed? Or is it a harbinger of doom like the Silver Surfer? We revisit some favorite characters in the world of weird and much more!
