    TOM SLICK, CRYPTID HUNTER Pt.1-"GET UP, C'MON GET DOWN WITH THE SLICKNESS"
    Jun 10 2025

    What's up you beautiful kooks?! This week the boys are back together again (awwww!) and they're covering Texas oilman, inventor, philanthropist, adventurer, international man of mystery, and cryptid hunter...TOM SLICK! (Oh yeah, he may have also been working for the CIA...or was he?) This is just part one of a CRAZY life full of adventure, intrigue, yeti shit, and fairly decent Owen Wilson impressions! (But you're just gonna have to listen in to figure out what all goes where.) ALSO: we close out on some random movie reviews and recommendations... SPOILER WARNING! Some of it gets pretty rough...rough, rough stuff.

    LT. COL. "DR." TOM BEARDEN-"ZARG!"
    Jun 4 2025

    What's up you beautiful kooks! We're back with more utter WEIRDNESS! But it's inspired weirdness, I'll give it that much! Today we're covering Lt. Col. "Dr." Tom Bearden (his "doctorate" is somewhat in question from what I've heard tell). We're talking parapsychology, UFOs, psychotronics, Soviet Russia, poltergeists, cattle mutilations, & the "meta-psychological" Freudian analysis of it all! It's gonna get rrrrrrrrreal freaky weird y'all!
