Magical Mystery Radio: Inane Ramblings from the Fringe

Accused of being a paid shill, Adam looks into actually becoming one. It's published in a science journal, so it must be true, right? One scientist exposes sham science journals by submitting a Star Wars-based study on midi-chlorians. Lost stash of Apollo-era NASA computers found in basement. So what does NASA do? Destroys the newly unearthed data. ANONYMOUS warns of an impending coup. It's the Deep State vs. Donald Trump in a fight to the... well, to "removal from office." What are Sinister Buttocks? You'll have to listen to find out.

Strange facts you never knew about the moon landing.  North Carolina has its own "Nessie"? America's haunted underwater towns. An evil schoolhouse lures curious explorers in Elsewhere, Kentucky. Alex Jones rants to indie rock. A reptilian cult murder in Pennsylvania.   Everything you ever wanted to know about Bohemian Grove but were afraid to ask.

Adam and John share the results of their PoliticalCompass.org personality assessments.  A Beverly Hills PR firm brings the Illuminati into the 21st century.  Why do people believe in Chemtrails? Have Chinese scientists succeeded in teleporting the first object into space? We live in an Occultocracy. What does this mean? How did we get here? That Amelia Earhart photo that "proved" she died a prisoner in Japan? Not so fast...

A listener shares a harrowing true-life Bigfoot encounter. Also, a giant monster rabbit cryptid encounter.   We discuss the secret Illuminati messages encoded in the works of Stanley Kubrick.   Photographic evidence suggests Amelia Earhart survived her ill-fated flight and died a prisoner in imperial Japan.   Is there a secret campaign to kidnap children and send them to Mars to work as slaves?   And while we're here on Mars, check out those crazy (apparently) artificial structures!   We share a list of the top 47 Bigfoot movies. Actually, we had no idea there even were 47 Bigfoot movies. But yeah, there are.

Panpsychism: the theory that everything in the universe possesses some degree of consciousness. Is this experimentally provable? Some scientists think it is. Several Bigfoot updates: A crowdfunding campaign for DNA proof; an encounter with a lion-maned hominid in Arkansas; actor Rob Lowe's harrowing encounter with the elusive "wood ape." John Lenard Walson photographs mysterious spacecraft in space. Hoax? Trick of the light? Secret space program? Alien invasion? Did you know that no one could see the color blue until modern times? It's true. What does this say about our perception of reality? Is the U.S. government about to announce the discovery of alien life?

A U.S. biotechnology company has plans to resurrect the dead. Are they for real? Can it be done? Should it be done? What if you were revived but your soul had moved on? What if you came back and were somehow... different?  18-year-old woman dies and shares her revelations of the afterlife - including a visit to Hell and visions of Michael Jackson and other celebrities writhing in eternal torture.  John returns with another "What's the Word on the Street?" This leads us into an examination of truth itself. Is there such a thing as objective reality? Can an unprovable truth be considered truth? Does the rejection of ambiguity lead to fundamentalism and authoritarianism? Oh, and David Bowie didn't die - he was kidnapped by demons and is even now playing a private gig for the Prince of Darkness.

Roswell will never die. Fringe investigator Nick Redfern has yet another contribution to the ever-evolving mythology. A mysterious hole has been detected on Mars. Therefore, aliens. Remember the Phoenix Lights? Well, Ego the Living Planet (aka Snake Plissken, aka Kurt Russell) sure does! You know that thing when objects spontaneously disappear and then reappear somewhere else? It's called apportation. And John has a story to tell...

What if you could resurrect a loved one through artificial intelligence? Would you? Should you? What if a robot priest could absolve you of your sins? What if everything you thought you knew about UFOs, aliens, and the secret space program was the product of an elaborate disinformation campaign? What are the ethics of conspiracy theory and why should we care? What were those mysterious flashing red lights at the White House this week? And, finally... What's the word on the street, Johnny?

The alien megastructure acts up yet again! Seth Rich murder - Adam follows up with his own investigation and renders his verdict. Fish rain down on a school in northern California.  Now it can be told: Katy Perry is a member of the Illuminati! (And so are a bunch of other pop stars.) John and Adam once again review the week in weird...

Seth Rich: Has the DNC Wikileaks leaker been positively identified?  Stupid Medieval Deaths: In which William Scrym falls from a tree attempting to overthrow a nest of magpies. CERN Opens the Gates of Hell. And also this guy sticks his face into a particle accelerator and maybe discovers the fountain of youth. Tetraploid Giants: You, me, we have two strands of DNA. These guys, they have four. So, you know, plus-sized humans with super powers and stuff. Alien Meme Invasion: What if the real alien threat isn't invasion? What if it's... ideas? Is there a vast deep-state conspiracy to get rid of Donald Trump? Are we teetering on the edge of violent civil war?

Who is the Antichrist this time? We reveal the current most likely candidate, and review the top 10 potential Antichrists you never considered. Hint: Think Tim Burton's BATMAN RETURNS. Trump fires Comey amid Russian investigation! "Nixonian" cover-up?  Nah.  When the dust settles, there'll be nothing to see here, folks... move along... Hacktivist group "Anonymous" warns we are on the verge of World War III. But that's okay, because... YOU could survive a nuclear holocaust - using only a power bar, a sturdy desk, and a bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo. And if you do survive, you'll surely live in a transhumanist world of AI-enhanced minds, artificial sentience, and synthetic artistes.  Plus, another exciting episode of What's the Word on the Street, Johnny? regarding the recent French election.  

We discuss the "World's Smartest Man", Christopher Langan, whose reported IQ is somewhere between 190 and 210. This leads us into a rambling discussion on IQ, empathy, and the "dehumanization" of our fellow sentient beings. Adam inserts a non-sequitur about ghosts, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and some crazy Warner Bros. lawsuit. After the break, John addresses the strange theory of an advanced, hidden race of beings living alongside us, secretly controlling the world. Former senior counsel to the World Bank, Karen Hudes, spills the beans on the financial malfeasance of the elites, the Vatican, and the Conehead "Critters." Unfortunately, the initial proponent of her theory, Dr. Edward Spencer, takes a cannonball leap into the cesspool of antisemitic nonsense and ruins what might otherwise be a very cool conspiracy...  

The world ends May 15, 2017. No, really. This is it. For reals. Seriously. Don't believe us? We'll see who's laughing in 19 days (and counting)... 13-year-old boy invents free energy device, proves the multiverse, discovers our universe was destroyed by Cern. Either that or he's a bright, eager young science nerd unfairly lionized by a scientifically illiterate media. And speaking of scientific literacy: Heard the one about the $400 juicer? Silicon Valley startup spends millions on a hi-tech juice machine only to discover that human hands can do the job at least as well. UFO sightings are on the increase! Why? Are we earthlings suddenly more interesting than we were this time last year? Nah, that can't be it.  

Did you know there's an actual, real serial killer in THE EXORCIST? William Friedkin's horror classic continues to surprise, four decades later. Can a human truly love a robot? Can a robot love a human? Hear the only known recording of the Great Beast himself, Aleister Crowley. And learn all about the literary - and literal - feud between Crowley and poet William Butler Yeats. Enter the Hollow Earth in Romania, come out in LA. Tell the Lizard People we say hi. The Great Miracle happened last week! What the hell was it? Breaking news: Manhunt for the Vault7 leaker!  

United Airlines sucks. Inspired by his utter disgust, Adam shares true airplane horror stories. If only to remind himself that his own experience could have been much worse. Afraid to fly? This won't help. Are we seeing the start of Armageddon in Syria? Is it a coincidence that the missile strike occurred exactly 100 years - to the day - after the US entered World War I? Did Guccifer 2.0's public chats with a nude model reveal the identity of the Wikileaks leaker? Another UFO researcher vanishes. This is starting to look like a hazardous occupation. Hubble spots something massive coming out of Uranus. Don't laugh.

Adam shares his weird brushes with "pizzagate" and the secret service. Bigfoot causes car crash in Idaho. Strange case of the phantom Pokemon. Is Trump playing "Apprentice" with the US government? Who is the enigmatic mystic influencing Russian politics? Witness the REAL Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Kids today, with their crazy Tibetan thought form manifestation techniques! In this episode, John and Adam explore the ancient buddhist practice of generating viable semi-imaginary entities through focus, serenity, and an unhealthy overreliance on social media (okay, that part's not so ancient). Could the tulpa phenomenon be the real force behind every paranormal encounter ever?   

Spontaneous time slips. Who was the mysterious John Titor? Does the Vatican possess secret technology for seeing through time? Which presidential candidate promises to go back in time to kill baby Hitler with his bare hands? Join John and Adam for a wide-ranging discussion about TIME TRAVEL!

STRANGER THINGS: The Department of Energy really IS exploring parallel universes. // Hillary the Robot Vs. Trump the Clown: A Freudian/Jungian Perspective. // Iraqi Minister claims ancient aliens built first airport. // Astronaut Edgar Mitchell UFO revelations in Wikileaks emails. 

Between 1582 and 1589, Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley claimed to be in communication with a group of discarnate entities known as the Enochian Angels, whose 49 Keys were said to unlock the four Watchtowers standing guard against the forces of chaos in the universe. In 1909,Aleister Crowley attempted to unlock the Enochian Keys and inaugurate the Apocalypse, invoking the demon Choronzon to transform the collective unconscious of mankind. Did any of this work? Or is this all a bunch of nonsense from sex crazed, drug-addled narcissists who only managed to bring about their own self-destruction?  

John and Adam talk about their favorite episodes so far, what they've learned, and what got them into this stuff in the first place.

Human sacrifice at Cern, the REAL conspiracy behind STRANGER THINGS, the Berenstein/Berenstain Bears parallel-universe controversy, and 21 ways to spot a BS news story.

Mysterious death of UFO/Conspiracy researcher Max Spiers. Ed and Lorraine Warren go to court. Debunkers hijack Wikipedia. John has more theories about Clinton and Trump and something something... uh... he may have fallen too far down the rabbit hole this time.  Adam can't take much more of this election season. Please. Make it stop.  Make America Great Again.  STOP IT!!!!  

Clowns terrorize America! SETI tracks alien signal! UFOs buzz St. Louis! Snopes tells the whole truth! All of the above? None of the above?

Gene Roddenberry based Star Trek on secret Navy space fleet built by reptilian extraterrestrials. SpaceX rocket destroyed by angry aliens. Supertramp Predicted 9/11. Neil Armstrong was misquoted. Closed-caption Freudian slips. A very large footprint in China. Clowns are scary.

Best ever photo of Loch Ness Monster? Hillary's body double campaigning? Rapture FINALLY coming next week? What's with the fish falling out of the sky?

The end of the world is... okay, maybe next week. A Chinese artist has stolen a British ghost. Teleportation has been accomplished (Really! Sort of!!) Internet "divining" predicts Hillary to drop out and/or lose the election?  The rise of Trump and Conspiracy Theory in politics and popular culture.

Another Friday night, another "live" show. We review the week in absurdity: Donald Trump is Andy Kaufman? A Godzilla-sized octopus attacked New York in 1963? Tonight's black moon is a(nother) sign of the apocalypse? And - wait - pumpkin pie ISN'T pumpkin pie?? Is nothing sacred?

Retired carpenter comes up with simple, elegant solution for the STONEHENGE mystery. Grumpy dog trainer inherits collection of frozen BIGFOOT body parts. What the heck is VAULT 7 and why is Wikileaks teasing us? Beware FAKE rogue Twitter accounts!  And finally, join us for the latest edition of WHAT'S THE WORD ON THE STREET, JOHNNY.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! New revelations in the mysterious death and afterlife of Edgar Allan Poe. Plus - an exclusive command performance of THE TELL-TALE HEART!

Secretary of State John Kerry visits Antarctica pyramids to meet with aliens? / Mysterious hum driving people nuts. / Project Blue Beam to stage Second Coming and bring on the New World Order. / More "fake news" and the emergence of a Ministry of Truth. George Orwell would be so proud.   

Buzz "Balls" Aldrin tweets dire warning from Antarctica. Mandela Effect: How peanut butter, Queen, and Berenstain Bears prove parallel universes. Charismatic Kim Clement maybe sorta predicts Trump Presidency. John introduces new segment: "What's the word on the street, Johnny?"

Exclusive updates from the inventor featured in the film A Field Full of Secrets. Dr. Evan Harris Walker's groundbreaking book The Physics of Consciousness. Could Dr. Walker's theories explain quantum strangeness, paranormal phenomena, even the nature and origin of mind?  Are quantum computers a point of convergence for parallel realities? Are we truly on the verge of creating artificial minds that will render humanity obsolete? How decadent has our society become? If the real-life Hunger Games-style reality show Game2: Winter is any indication, we may well have reached the point of no return. What's the Word on the Street – featuring a prediction of "massive financial shock" in early 2017, and the unlikely return of the "birther" controversy.

Meaning of unlucky 13. Government bill acknowledging robots as "electronic persons." Collapse of civilization within decade? New clues in 45-year-old D.B. Cooper case. Deep state at war with Trump.   

One of humanity's most ancient and pervasive myths. Whether it has literal historical and scientific validity, or it's simply a metaphor for emergent human potential - the subterranean breakaway civilization captures the imagination. 

"I know kung fu!" Is it possible to inject knowledge directly into our brains? Are we on the verge of yet another economic collapse? Is the world about to end? Isn't it always? Weird goings-on in Antarctica. Therefore: aliens. How Sesame Street inspired a generation of conspiracy theorists. Are the boomers a generation of sociopaths? Truly lame advice for spies on the run.

We open VAULT 7 - and try not to get locked inside. Spy bears! How do the Oscars prove we live in a computer simulation? Witches against Trump! Dementors over Zambia! And of course: WHAT'S THE WORD ON THE STREET, JOHNNY?

Is the U.S. government using a genetically engineered virus to alter human behavior? Is there a secret Captain America-style super soldier program? Why was Winston Churchill obsessed with UFOs and extraterrestrial life? Remember FACES OF DEATH? Good news! It was fake! Join us for all this and SO much more...
