Universe of Weirdos

Brother Dan is back with me to go over some vintage BBC predictions of the future. We see how kids from the 60's, 70's, and 80's envisioned the future of humanity.  X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

Brother Dan is back with me to check if his refrigerator is running, and to go over a few non-fake prank calls. We analyze their comedic value and try to figure out what makes us laugh at prank calls. IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

A special episode, where I go over Michael Bower's Youtube video on his views on comedy. He discusses what he thinks is real comedy and how insults are not comedy. This is my reaction to his stance on an industry I've been in my entire life. I offer my advice to Mike and even offer my own help with his comedy endeavors. I truly hope he listens to this and takes me words to heart. X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

...before we are recycled. This is the final in the 4 part series of reacting to the Heaven's Gate Initiation Tapes. Does Marshall Applewhite make enough sense for us to want to join his weird cult? Smoke up and see if you get wasted enough to believe him!  Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

We're back in the time machine, to go over some TV commercials from the 50s. Pepsi or Coke? Yuban or Maxwell House? Which cigarette brand do doctors recommend? We've certainly evolved in the advertising world over the last 75 years. Come take a listen with me! Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I am back faster than usual, with another FAQ show. I've gotten a lot of listener interaction over the last month, and I need to clean out the Inbox. If you want in on one of these episodes, find me on X (JCraft247), IG (UniverseOfWeirdos), or shoot me an email at [email protected]

I am back with some news clips. Various weirdos from across the world of broadcasting. Anchors messing up, anchors farting, awkward celebrity interviews, and of course lots of breaking character. This one is worth your listen. Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

From the duo that brought you the review of "Boys Beware", Brother Dan is back to review the other half of the 1961 PSA. This time for Girls. We react to the tone deaf nature and discuss how it compares to Boys Beware. It's out-of-date and fairly irrelevant, but it's still a lot of fun to know that it exists. Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

Another Feedback and Questions episode. Fah-Q! I answer questions about my pet, podcast editing, and selling my morality. I end with a listener story that I think might be a big fat lie... Lots of stuff in this one and I have enough to do another FAQ sooner rather than later, so I hope you like it! IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I'm back to discuss the strange backlash of AI generated content. People seem to hate AI, even though they use it themselves every single day. I try to break down why I think that is, and even examine the nature of keyboard warrior trolls and internet curmudgeons. It's a weird thing to hate a concept that isn't going away anytime soon. IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

My brother in comedy, Sean Jones Jr., joins me on this episode to discuss all things Nerd and our double live shows at Indy PopCon on Friday, May 8th. This is a pretty broad range of nerd topics, so there is surely something that satisfies your inner geek in this one. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I continue my journey into the initiation tapes of the Heaven's Gate Cult. I try my best to listen and take Doh seriously, but he's just too dull, too silly, and too repetitive. We have one more volume of the initiation tapes to go, so thank Ti that we are almost finished. Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

Traveling through time, via radio. I take a listen to a large variety of radio screw-ups from all across the world, spanning decades. People always made mistakes, and they've always been funny. I'm just here to steer the time machine. IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

We're back to go over some interviews gone bad. Sports stars, movie stars, and even regular Joe's take a turn in the barrel. Sending Thots and Playas to Ronnie B, while we laugh along to people making fools of themselves. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

Back again with another FAQ episode. I answer all the pressing listener questions and feedback. Would I rather hang out with Goldberg or Donkey Lips? Who is Palm Beach Pete? Was I a good student? I answer all of these questions and much more. Enjoy it! Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

Universe of Weirdos will be Live at Indy PopCon on May 8th at 4pm. Get tickets now! I decide to address the "are you nervous?" question in the form of many clips. Sometimes, when something is live, it just throws everything off and we are here to examine those incidents. Milli Vanilli, wrestling flubs, live news, and even a rapper who freezes up. Check out this fun episode. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

Continuing on our Road to Wrestlemania, we take a detour to the Satellite of Love for some of Whatley's best Nature Boy bits. Enjoy this wrestling related, blast into comedy radio past, as we enjoy some clips of our buddies.  Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

Brother Dan is back to walk that aisle with me, this week, and listen to some listener-suggested wrestling audio. We visit a lot of the classic guys in this one. Hogan, Warrior, Jake the Snake, Macho Man, Iron Sheik, and more. Some are a great, a few are duds, but our reactions are genuine and fun. Be sure to listen and spread the love. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

For the first time, my two podcast worlds collide. I'm bringing you a March Madness bracket special, where I give you my picks for the Women's NCAA tournament by picking which city is the worst to advance. I roast the South a little more than they deserve, and I confuse what crappy city Notre Dame is in, but this is still a fun one that's worth a listen. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I'm back with a massive, throbbing headache, and an AI producer to rely on for content. The topic suggestions have improved from the previous AI Producer shows and we even got a couple of pretty good talking points out of it.  Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

Brother Dan is back to walk me to the ring, on our road to Wrestlemania and return to our wrestling roots. We react to a lot of famous wrestling promo fails and have a great time doing it. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

We're discussing schoolyard stuff today. Did Rod Stewart get his stomach pumped? Does Richard Gere have a thing for gerbils? Does Jamie Lee Curtis have both? We go over all the big, silly, celebrity rumors and trace where the nonsense started. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I'm back with another Valentine's hangover for the FAQ. Lots of love, dating, and alpha male related feedback and questions in this one. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X : JCraft247

I'm back (and baked) to continue our initiation into the Heavens Gate cult. I light up and react to more of the Initiation Tape and decide whether we are all eligible to shed our human vehicles or not. Prepare for some hilarious questioning of the message, and to determine if you are one of the three types of people that can enter the Kingdom of Heaven, according to this weirdo's rules. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I won a frivolous copyright claim and I am here to gloat. If someone wants to stop me from reacting to celebrity outtakes... I am going to keep doing it! I react to to Shatner, Barry White, and more in this episode of celebrities screwing up on the radio. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

J.Craft is back, not as a podcaster, but an appliance salesman educating you on new modern conveniences such as dishwashers and electric ovens. I go over some 1940's GE commercials, when they originally needed to educate the public on the invention of the dishwasher. Expect misogyny and outdated silliness. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247 

I decide to react to some "negative" feedback, including an anonymous EDM DJ trying to sabotage my podcast. We still keep it light and fun, as I discuss influencer boxing, Winter Olympics, and more. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

In this Valentine's Day special, I react to the 1952 PSA "Date Etiquette" and examine how people went on dates in the 50s. Be prepared for outrage over 50s restaurant prices, and beverage choices for dinner. Be sure to spread the love of Universe of Weirdos with everyone you know!   IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

My wife is back with me for a semi-Valentine's Day special. We go over where certain phrases came from, instead of going on a date. John/Jane Doe, Wild Hair Up Your -, Sloppy Seconds. I looked up all those (and more) so you don't have to! Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

We're doing it live! I am back with Brother Dan to react to some news and commercial outtakes. We hit you with a few heavy burtations, and spend way more time on Orson Welles than needed, but this is a glorious journey through the weird world of f'ing up. Follow me on IG : UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

So, I decided to get super ripped and react to the biggest weirdo of my childhood, and the origin of my stolen catchphrase. I try my best to make it through Heaven's Gate Initiation audio, while trying to make sense of this rambling goofball. I hope you were as entertained as I was confused. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

I'm reacting to sports audio this week. Wrestling's greatest promo, Jordan's greatest commercial, Drunken Joe Namath, and all kinds of baseball greats. Break out your foam fingers for this one. Follow me on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos X: JCraft247

Back with another popular FAQ episode. Will I ever get in trouble for things I say? My wife is Asian?! Am I a D&D guy? What celebrity death affected me the most? I answer all of these and more in this glorious piece of FaQ. Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

Dan is here with me to review a totally cringey and super outdated PSA to warn boys of the dangers of gay men. We question it's relevance and even come to the realization that the dangers we are being warned about have nothing to do with gay behavior.  Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

I am joined by my wife to go over some hilarious 911 calls and react to the absurdity of them. Control your kids, keep your car unlocked, and be sure to call a bambulance. We found the best of the best, for this episode. Follow me on X: JCraft247 IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

This episode, we go over some audio from Public Service Announcements from decades past. PSAs from the 90s, 80s, 60s, and 50s will be discussed and their relevancy will be questioned. We also react to Howard Stern's incredibly cringeworthy contract renewal announcement. Find me on X: JCraft247 or on IG: UniverseOfWeirdos

This was a rough year. Lots of negative news and not much to laugh about. We go over the major events of this year and all the notable celebrity deaths (and we lost some LEGENDS). We look to the future and make a plan to make 2026 a better year for us all. It's going to be the Year of the Weirdos. Follow me on X: JCraft247

My son is sick and in bed, so I decided to take the time to listen to some old Ron and Fez with my buddies and talk about some of their weird and terrible Christmas songs from over the years. Very filthy XXXmas, a Westboro Baptist Church original, and some fa-la-la-la are in abundance in this episode. I hope you liked this wacky experiment of me listening and reacting to my favorite radio show of all time. Follow me on X: JCraft247

Answering all the hard hitting holiday questions this week. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Are experiences better gifts than toys? Am I a better podcaster than Amy Pohler? What DO guys want for Christmas? Get all these answers and more, in a very X-Massy FAQ. Follow me on X: JCraft247

Trying to stay in the Christmas spirit, so I decided to ramble about toys for awhile. Video games, Action Figures, Lego, Barbie. Come listen to me mumble-mouth my way through an almost entertaining segment of a 40-year-old man trying to talk about toys.   Find me on X: JCraft247

I react to several Christmas related audio clips in this extremely ill-prepared and severely phoned in episode. I still try to make it funny, but I had very little time to put together something for this week. Come listen to me react to Christmas news stories, a radio broadcast from 1906, and a 1940 intro for a Christmas episode of The Shadow. More importantly, I talk about the future direction that Universe of Weirdos is taking.   Follow me on X: JCraft247

I'm back to ramble about this very random American holiday. I fumble through turkey talk, Black Friday, and all the things associated with Thanksgiving. Grab a turkey burger and listen to this, while you are alone and crying. Follow me on X: JCraft247

Is Opie Radio one of only five podcasts that should exist? Is Gregg "Opie" Hughes just jealous of other people's success? Is his podcast even remotely entertaining? Well... I guess it is, when you factor in the people who make fun of it. I analyze Opie Radio and discuss clips from the show, exposing Opie has one of radio's biggest hypocrites and one of the most delusional podcasters that exists. Follow me on X: JCraft247

I'm annoyed at Opie Radio this week and I wanted to respond to comments made on his crappy podcast, but he deleted the whole feed going back to January. So, while I track down the audio for next week, I bring back my AI producer to feed me a few talking points, while always coming back to the fact that I'm annoyed with Gregg "Opie" Hughes.

Have you ever been fired? Okay, but have you ever been fired for something catastrophically embarrassing while on live radio or TV? Well, these folks have! Brother Dan is back with me to listen to the cringey audio of these unemployed idiots. Follow me on X: JCraft247

My wife joins me to listen to my ghost stories and taunting. We wrap up spooky season by discussing ghostly entities, their powers, their realism, and their origins. It's fun, it's silly, and it's worth listening to. Happy Halloween, weirdos. Follow me on X: JCraft247

I'm podcasting from my death bed, from a minor cold. I give out some very poorly thought out advice, through a throat that is on fire. I hope you enjoy my sickly attempt at trying to create comedy. Follow me on X: JCraft247

It's Halloween time and my brother Dan joins me for some random zombie talk. There was not much show prep, and zero show notes going into this one, but we kept it fun. Zombie plans, the realistic nature of a zombie outbreak, movies, games, and more are discussed. Would you tell anyone if you were bit by a zombie? Let us know!

Hear all about the hypocrites in my journey through entertainment. From frat boys who talk down on me, but steal my jokes, all the way to "don't say that about women" guys who are domestic abusers. This one was fun to do. I hope it was as entertaining as it was cathartic for me. Follow me on X: JCraft247

Feedback And Questions. That's what this one is about. I read your emails, your DMs, and answer all the questions burning holes in your souls. The variety of subjects covered in this one is crazy. Welcome to the New Fah-Q.
