KOOKS, CRANKS, AND ICONOCLASTS!

Here it is folks! The first of an unknown number of Halloween episodes! Hope you dig it! It's gonna be a half & half-ish mix betwixt silly and spooky. I think.

Happy Halloween! Email us!: kooksandcran...

This is a big one. It makes me wistful for the 1980's when The Soviets controlled all of our minds (and if not our minds, our economic choices...Doritos, Miller Lite, & the like.)

Did you know that early Communist Russia almost became a Buddhist theocracy? That's just a fraction of the craziness that sets the foundations for later "Soviet Psychotronic Super Science"! I just had to get into the story of "Red Shambhala" & this is it! Don't hate the Great Player, hate The Great Game! It's history comrades...Enjoy!

My brain hurts...maybe I shouldn't have ate those brains? This episode covers everything in it's provocative title AND MORE! Listen to Mike pretend to speak Chinese!

Various jars of misc. animal piss. I...

...in which I (pretty much) conclusively prove that the global elites are not even human! (As if you needed convincing.)

Apparently YT and Spotify have differing viewpoints on what constitutes copyrighted material so I had to chop the ends off of this but I worked really hard on all this research so hopefully this cuts the mustard (if that's an actual saying?).
