It Gets Weird

Hey there weirdos and welcome back! This week we have a new cryptid for you, the gnarly, nasty guy known as the Mongolian Death Worm. Is there a vicious, deadly, and waaay overpowered "intestine worm" stalking the Gobi desert two months out of the year? We also talk about hot sauce names, redeeming Halloween III, and revisit our new segment "Kyle's Fear Minutes." All this and more on this week's e...

Hey there weirdos and welcome to our new episode! In this one, Nile gets to do his big damn rundown of the overarching secret underground military and alien bases conspiracy. We go straight up DUMB in this one, uncovering the purpose of these bases. We also discuss the major whistle-blowers of this conspiracy and how the bases are actually constructed. If you're preparing for the New World Order,...

Hello weirdos, and welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week we have a brand new episode in the F*** Your Documentary series! On this one, we tackle the Bray Road Beast directed by Seth Breedlove. Does a werewolf-like cryptid (or perhaps demonic entity) haunt the Bray Road in rural Wisonsin? It's hard to say but it's fun to believe. Nile and Kyle tell you the story of the Beast and offer their pers...

Hey there weirdos! This week we have a collection of unique stories, all involving...weird stuff falling out of the sky. Yeah. We talk about fishfalls, blobfalls, and even meatfalls! We also try to determine how many gallons make up a horse. We're guessing it's somewhere between six and ten gallons of horse material? We're hoping a horse scientist can help us out with this one. Prepare to be fasci...

Hello weirdos! This week we're gonna talk about an NSA spy facility in...Australia. Misleading title, we know, but hold up. Our subject - Pine Gap - is considered to be the Area 51 of Australia, and for good reason. Are the USA and Australia collaborating on a UFO research facility in the Australian desert? Are the experimenting with anti-gravity tech? Or is it the secret base of operations for Di...

Hey there weirdos! We're back with three spooky stories about famous hauntings of the poltergeist variety. You know, those pesky spirits who have a tendency to throw stuff around and cause mischief. These stories have it all: disembodied demonic voices, weird smells, furniture and doors moving on their own, and mischievous teenagers. We also walk a mile in the shoes of a poltergeist and imagine ou...

Welcome back weirdos! This week, we discuss a small, hairy, and strong as hell alien / cryptid that may or may not be able to shoot lasers from its mouth...the Venezuelan "Hairy Dwarves." Yeah, these guys are probably aliens if you believe the stories told about people's encounters with them, but you could easily confuse them with a cryptid. Or maybe, like, a mini-Bigfoot? We also have our own the...

Hello friends, welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Kyle gives us all the low-down on the Bill Gates depopulation conspiracy. Are you an anti-vaxxer? Do you fear tech billionaires, but for all the wrong reasons? Great news, the Bill Gates depopulation conspiracy is for you! We also talk about how to defeat Madagascar, Nixon's teeth, and how to keep your horses healthy. All this and much, much...

Hey there, weirdos! This week we wanna present you with a question: are you tired of all your "life energy" going to waste? Tired of being unable to "release" your energy blockages? We've got great news! This episode we'll explain how to utilize "orgone energy," a theory of astronomical proportions developed by Wilhelm Reich! We also talk Kate Bush, Sigmund Freud, and conspiracy-themed music! All...

Welcome back, weirdos! This week is the first dip into a HUGE topic we've been dying to talk about - Area 51! What starts as a general overview of the highly classified government site eventually becomes a discussion about an important player in UFO culture...a man named Bob Lazar. We also get art history totally wrong, make the Lazar / Major Lazer connection, and lots of UFO stuff!

Welcome back, weirdos! This week the Weird Boys step into mostly uncharted territory: we actually revisit a topic! That's right, this is Richard Hoagland, Part Two! This time Nile explains more of Hoagland's interstellar theories, such as the secret to one of Mars's moons, Phobos. We also discuss his, uh, "valuable" stamp collection and the Hoagland free energy theory! We may have groundbreaking s...

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week Kyle tells Nile and Jules all about the declassified US government operation known as "Stargate Project." This one's for fans of MKULTRA and The Men Who Stare At Goats. In fact, both the book and film about Goat-Staring Men are loosely based off of Stargate Project! What exactly is Stargate Project? A combination of spoon-bending, extrasensory powers, and r...

Welcome back, weirdos! This week the boys try to talk about the moon but end up on Mars. Yep, that's right, we're back on the red planet with returning friend of the show Garrett to discuss Richard Hoagland, a conspiracy theorist who specializes in extraterrestrial theorizing. Hoagland not only is most famous for his belief that the Face of Mars is part of a Martian city, but also for his HOGwild...

Greetings, earthlings! On this episode of It Gets Weird, Kyle introduces Nile to Black Boomerang UFO sightings of Poughkeepsie, New York. This is the story of one Greg Boone, an author who worked for the local newspaper. Between Greg and his anonymous photographer accomplice, they believed they had the UFO story of the century...until the cover-up of the century stamped out their dreams. We also d...

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Nile tells Kyle about one of the most infamous exorcism cases of all time: the exorcism of Anneliese Michel. Nile tells Kyle all about the devils inside of poor Anneliese, one of whom may or may not have been Hitler. Yes, the Adolf Hitler. An admittedly upsetting case, we still try to find the funnies in the midst of contemplating demon-possessed violence....

Hey there friends! This week Kyle mentally breaks Nile trying to explain a really zany conspiracy theory about a disease called toxoplasmosis. What seems to start out as a generic gov't conspiracy turns into a gauntlet of madness. What organization ISN'T a part of this wide-reaching conspiracy to dull the masses with...cat poop disease? Is your pet turning you into a mind-controlled slave? Listen...

Hello again friends! Welcome to the first episode of 2019, the Year of the Cryptid. This week, we discuss projected cryptid visibility rates for the new year. Oh, and we talk about "Am Fear Liath Mòr," or "Big Grey Man," a Scottish folk tale teetering somewhere between cryptid and paranormal entity. Nile gets literal, Kyle squirts some funny juice, and the boys generally try to get to the bottom o...

To end the year right, Kyle came back to illuminate Nile on the Tunguska Event. For the uninitiated, the Tunguska Event was a massive unexplained explosion in Siberia that puts your favorite explosions to shame. Now, when no blast crater could be found, conspiracy theorists came up with all sorts of fun explanations for this massive blast. Science may think they know what happened, but we get to t...

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week we're doing our second ever holiday special! Kyle (who is now dead) has been replaced by Jules (who is actually pretty funny) and now Nile takes on the task of explaining a Christmas-time legend: the Krampus! How will Jules handle the traditional podcast blood contract? Is coal enough or should naughty kids go to hell? Just remember: the Krampus can't get y...

Welcome to a new episode of It Gets Weird! This week, Kyle and Nile fight through mental exhaustion to bring you the legend of the Thunderbird - a Native American tale turned cryptid. How did a game of cryptozoological telephone turn a fantastic legend into a cryptid? What happens if you roll up a buncha snipers into a katamari ball and why is it the world's most dangerous weapon? Will Nile and Ky...

Hey there weirdos! It Gets Weird is here to bring you a new episode. This week, Nile's sick and Kyle's trying to get everyone lost in the woods! Jules also joins the boys to discuss the national park conspiracy known as Missing 411. If you're unaware of the Coast to Coast favorite David Paulides, we'll get you up to speed. Are park rangers intentionally screwing up missing persons investigations?...

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Nile tells Kyle all about the United States's and President Eisenhower's first contact with extraterrestrial beings. Many will tell you that this meeting definitely took place (including Eisenhower's own great granddaughter). Did Eisenhower have diplomatic relations with ETs? Was he hot for dentist? What exactly IS a conspiracy?! Answers to these questions...

Hey folks, welcome back to It Gets Weird! This week, Kyle addresses a long-beloved topic: numbers stations.  Why have these mysterious shortwave radio stations been broadcasting for so long, some even for decades? Who's behind them? Is it aliens? Illuminati agents? Even more terrifying: does Russia have a Dead Man Switch radio station that'll launch a nuclear attack in the event something goes hor...

By the eternal boys, it's a new episode of It Gets Weird! This week, Jules joins our hosts for a discussion of the famous Tennessee haunting by the Bell Witch! We've gotta admit, this is the most direct ghost in any haunting we've ever heard of - the Bell Witch seems to know what she wants. She even got to spook a witch hunter and Andrew Jackson! Even better, the legend persists to this day and yo...

Hello folks, and welcome back to It Gets Weird. This week Kyle tells Nile and Cromzor all about the famous Australian crytpid: the Bunyip! Just what is the Bunyip? The boys try to get to the bottom of this rabbit hole, but the answers are nebulous. Is it a benevolent water spirit? Is it a monstrous devil that devours humans? Is the drop bear more of a threat than the Bunyip? If you shake the eight...
