WHAT'S UP KOOOOOOOOOOOOKS! This week we're taking a 3D stereo-optic vision look into UFOlogy's most misunderstood good guys (OR ARE THEY?!): THE MANTIS ALIENS! We'll examine their fascinating earthbound cousins then jump into the alien and cryptid insectoid lore then get deep into the DMT realms where these entities are allegedly encountered all around the world by numerous unaffiliated psychonauts. Then finally we close out with quick recaps over the strange data of insectoid adjacent mad science bastard spawn of lost or obscure forgotten figures such as Andrew Crosse or Viktor Grebinnikov and just how they both bugged out. All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" Give it a listen as it wriggles it's way up under your skin! "YUCK!" and/or "YUM!"

THREE MEN & A NASTY! This week we invite a special guest and old school regular "Kooks & Cranks" fixture, Matt a.k.a. "Mr. Nasty", as he joins the fellas to discuss the various potential dreamscapes and/or nightmare worlds presented by the advent of ubiquitous massive scale quantum computation (that is, if such a thing is even truly achievable). Tune in and listen to four increasingly inebriated individuals attempts to break down some super scientifical type shit! All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" featuring therapy parrots, the unimpeachable integrity of Mark Zuckerberg, UK gravy wrestling, a nicotine addicted lake monster, & more! ALL OF OUR CALCULATIONS HAVE PROVEN THIS SHOW TO BE... OBJECTIVELY AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

HEYYOOO! What's up ya beautiful kooks! This week we're doing a mini-episode (or "minisode", if you're trying to "S.T." {that's "Save Time"}) due to the Chris household being over run with COVID-20. It's one more cuz he does everything TO THE MAX! Hopefully we'll be back to our full roster next week, along with a special guest! So this week we'll be sort of cleaning house with an extended version of "What's Weird This Week?" in which Mike & Spencer cover a vast haphazard array of strange subjects, such as: lil' red devils, the "demon cat" of D.C., another far less fortunate cat, plus a random grab bag of wacky CERN related apeshit! We'll cover all this AND! provide answers to questions no one asked like: "What happens to Mike's voice after screaming at the internet all day?" or "Can Spencer achieve a triple entendre?" and of course finally,

"Does Chris REALLY have COVID, or is he currently trying to find his way back home after being abandoned in the NJ Pine Barrens?" LISTEN & FIND OUT ALL ABOUTSITS!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (That's howling... kinda.) This week we're covering feral children, but not JUST feral children! We take this one to some pretty weird places and ask many of the hard questions no one else dares nor cares to! We got stories of kids raised by wolves, dogs, monkeys, etc. We talk "weird science" behind potential physiological changes in feral children raised by canines. We discuss dogs, wolves, domestication, apex predators, maternal instinct, & even weirder topics such as sasquatches, "Missing 411" & the alleged "feral people" of Appalachia, & the tragic life of one "Zana of Abkhazia"! All this and more plus "What's Weird This Week?" WOLF IT DOWN! WOOOOOOOOOO*Ric Flair*OOOOOOOO!
