It Gets Weird

Welcome back friends and weirdos! In this one, we're finally tackling the big question on everybody's minds: what happened to Atlantis? We have a few people who have some ideas about what happened to the lost continent, people like Plato, Ignatius Donnelly, and Charles Hapgood. Was Atlantis dragged to the bottom of the sea by a geological event? Were aliens involved? Did we somehow lose it all the...

Welcome to episode 164 of It Gets Weird! We're back at it again as Kyle brings some song lyric-based conspiracies to the table. We talk all about a K. West prophecy, if there is a chance of a Longbottoming, and what the actual lyrics to American Pie (which are not at all what we had expected)!

Turns out some shamans and mystics and chaos scientists got together to conduct some pretty zany experiments, things like transpo...

Welcome back friends and weirdos! It's a new episode of It Gets Weird, but not a new topic. We're closing the dang book on the Hoover Dam conspiracies with more theories about the engineering marvel.

Hello friends and weirdos! It's a new episode of It Gets Weird. On this one we talk about the secret of the famous American landmark - the Hoover Dam. Sure, the Hoover Dam seems like your typical dam, nothing unusual. Nothing to suggest that it's say, an Anti-Christ birthing ritual or maybe even a Stargate portal to an alien realm. Or so you'd think...we cover these topics and more in our Hoover D...

Welcome back to a new episode, friends! Jules is back on the show to talk with the boys about an aural conspiracy: is 432 Hertz the audio tuning of the universe? Of the soul, even? What does this tuning have to do with Sacred and Celestial Geometry? Can you repair your own DNA just by listening to some good, good tunes? Nile, master of sound and music, lays down this theory for everybody and answe...

Welcome to a brand new episode of It Gets Weird! On this one we expose the truth about the US government / military joint conspiracy that national heroes like Chuck Norris and Ted Cruz were concerned with.

Will...

Hello weirdos and welcome back! On this episode, Nile introduces Kyle to the idea of "starseeds." Is the human race truly descended from extraterrestrials, as Ancient Aliens star Giorgio Tsoukalos posits? Is it more of a spiritual thing? Hard to say, but we now know the process with which we can find out, and that is the Buzzfeed "Are You A Loner?" quiz. This week we'll activate your starseed pote...
