  • 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!!

  • 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!

  • MINISODE-"Schizoterrestrial lumberjackin'!"
    May 30 2024

    HEYYOOO! Wassup ya beautiful kooks! Mike is flying solo in this week's mini-episode (or "minisode", if you're trying to save time). Next week we'll be back to our usual antics but due to the storms and a fiendishly shitty Dallas electricity monopoly, we've all been recovering from the damages with Chris & Spencer currently left without power, so send your air conditioning, cool breeze like mind-vibes their way! This week Mike's jive talking on a wide range of "ultra-terrestrial" topics ranging from all kinds of matters like: "tulpatronics" (TM), thoughtforms, folklore, aliens/UFOs, schizophrenia, shamanism, the "quantums", etc. He'll also be dropping a few hints of Chris & Spencer's upcoming topics of choice & thanking you all from the bottom of his heart & the heart of his bottom for not only being listeners but subscribers as well! That's because all of our listeners/subscribers are undoubtedly the smartest, sexiest, best types of folks there is out there!

    Thanks again to each and every one of you! The boys will be back next week so stay tuned everybody! P.E.A.C.E.!
