AI Cognitohazard (E372)
In 2025, researchers at the University of California submitted an academic article related to a case study of what they called “New-onset AI-associated Psychosis”. The article breaks down the case of a 26 year old woman who was hospitalized after she began to believe her brother was speaking to her through ChatGPT. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated incident and in today’s episode Liv examines similar stories that have emerged in the wake of the AI chatbot surge. Along the way, she explores how the companies behind these chatbots plan to prevent situations like this from happening - or if they plan to at all - and even shows what happens when a user becomes overly reliant on their AI and begins to sound like one themselves.

Evil Neuroscience Part 1: Popping Whale Brains and Suffocating Dolphins (Premium E335) Sample
Before marine mammal song CDs conquered mall kiosks and the slogan “Save the Whales” appeared on bumper stickers nationwide, one scientist became obsessed with the idea that dolphins might be our closest nonhuman intellectual peers. In part one of our two-part Evil Neuroscience series, Jack dives into the life and work of John C. Lilly: neurophysiologist, dolphin researcher, SETI-adjacent dreamer, and the man whose attempts to bridge the interspecies communication gap proved to be more horrifying than illuminating. We follow Lilly from Biblical ideas about language and human supremacy to the Green Bank conference, where astronomers, NASA advisors, and future SETI legends formed the secretive “Order of the Dolphin.” Then we head to Marineland and Dolphin Rock, where Lilly’s research involved whale brains, suffocating dolphins, dolphin vocalization experiments, LSD, Margaret Howe’s infamous live-in language study with Peter the dolphin, and the tragic collapse of the project. Along the way: Bob Dylan’s worst song, existential elk, horny dolphins, Cold War science funding, animal language research, and the birth of the New Age dolphin obsession. Next time, Jack unpacks how Lilly’s search for nonhuman intelligence turned inward through isolation tanks, psychedelics, MKULTRA-adjacent research, and the Earth Coincidence Control Office.

Pilled Iranian Monarchists feat. Josef Burton (E371)
We’re joined by former U.S. diplomat Josef Burton to examine modern Pahlavism: an online, diaspora-driven movement built around nostalgia for Iran’s deposed Pahlavi dynasty and the imagined restoration of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. What was once a marginal exile politics of royalist uncles, former regime officials, and anti–Islamic Republic hawks has, in the past decade, been transformed into a bizarre right-populist scene. It’s part monarchist revival, part regime-change lobby, part “Make Iran Great Again” fandom. Josef traces how this movement emerged from the trauma and politics of the Iranian diaspora, then accelerated through Persian-language satellite TV, social media influencers, think tanks, bot campaigns, and the broader ecosystem of neoconservative, Israeli, Gulf State, and MAGA-aligned regime-change politics. Pahlavism presents itself as the authentic voice of Iranians, but often functions more like an astroturfed culture-war identity: anti-regime, pro-Western intervention, aggressively nostalgic for a whitewashed “Iran before the revolution,” and hostile toward Iranian dissidents who favor diplomacy, pluralism, or any future not centered on the Pahlavi name. The movement has started to resemble a QAnon-style political subculture: very online, retribution-focused, conspiratorial, obsessed with hidden agents and imminent deliverance, and convinced that posting, doxxing, street theater, and displays of loyalty are forms of revolutionary action. But unlike QAnon, modern Pahlavism’s fantasy of “the storm” has been tied to real intelligence networks, real lobbying money, and real military escalation. When the long-promised war finally arrived and failed to produce a restored monarchy, the movement was left to cope with betrayal, humiliation, factional infighting, and increasingly bizarre displays of royalist devotion.

The Case of the Vanished Scientists feat. Mike Rothschild (Premium E334) Sample
Are the nation’s top federal scientists being vanished to cover up earth-shattering revelations about aliens and advanced space technology? It’s a theory that President Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel, and the House Oversight Committee are at least pretending to take seriously. But what’s the truth behind the “dead or missing scientists” lists floating around social media for the last few months? Mike Rothschild joins us today to discuss the recent cases of scientists seemingly disappearing or dying under mysterious circumstances. Along the way we unpack the long tradition conspiracy theories that involve assembling lists of dead people and concluding they all have the same mysterious cause, including the “Curse of King Tut,” the Clinton body count, and little known GEC-Marconi scientist deaths conspiracy theory.

The Onion Wears The Infowars Skinsuit feat. Ben Collins (E370)
The parent company of the satirical publication The Onion has a deal to take control of Infowars, the conspiracist media machine built by Alex Jones for the past 26 years. It is a proposed six-month licensing arrangement, pending approval from a Texas judge, with an option to renew. That is expected to be approved this Thursday, April 30th. Travis and Jake speak to former NBC News reporter and The Onion CEO Ben Collins about the deal, the new creative vision for Infowars, what it means to Sandy Hook parents who were victimized by Jones, and comedian Tim Heidecker's role as creative director for the venture. Before that, Julian joins us to unpack theories related to Cole Tomas Allen, the Torrance man who was charged with attempting to assassinate the president after attempting to storm the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

After years of speaking to Liv through their computers, the OG QAA hosts have finally met Liv IRL before her and Jake attended Coachella.

De-Extinction Nightmare Part 2: Colossal Lies (E369)
In part two of this two part episode, Jack continues their look into the dubious practice of “de-extinction” this time as it is pushed in the 21st century by Colossal BioSciences. Created in 2019 by Ben Lamm and George Church, Colossal aims at making extinction, as well as the endangered species list, a thing of the past using CRISPR technology. Claiming to have revived the Dire Wolf and Red Wolf, the company actually has been more successful in massive PR campaigns and paying off critics than reversing species death. But who benefits when people believe that the ecosystem can be preserved through test tubes rather than policy aimed at protecting endangered animals? You guessed it: wealthy sociopaths who see traditional conservation efforts as a barrier to total planetary domination.

De-Extinction Nightmare Part 1: Nazi Cows (E368)
The long history of humans bending biology for civilization eventually raised an important question: if animals can be domesticated, then couldn’t they also be de-domesticated? Further: could selective breeding allow scientists to reverse-engineer a species back from extinction and contain identical DNA to its ancestors? The first people to attempt “de-extinction” were, naturally, mad zoologists supported by Nazis. Modern attempts to leverage molecular biology to revive long-lost species provide a classic example of history rhyming. In part one of this two-part episode, Jack explores the disturbing ideology behind the de-extinction efforts of the Heck brothers in 1930s Germany, as well as their attempts to create so-called “genetically pure” species. Next week, we’ll unpack the floundering species revival program from genetic engineering startup Colossal Biosciences and why billionaires and the Trump administration are so invested in gaining the ability to make extinction less permanent than commonly believed.

It was paid for by World’s Last Chance - an organization founded by Galal Philip Habib Doss.

Jack returns to torment Jake, Julian, and Travis by ranting about the impending threat of AI via a classic story from WWI Britain. In 1917, Elsie and Frances took what appeared to be photos of each other interacting with fairies. While some immediately recognized the photos as fakes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a true believer. Jack talks everyone through the history of the famous hoax, and speculates as to why it is that some so ardently believed in it. Jake, Julian, and Travis challenge themselves to figure out how the photographs were taken and offer insight into whether or not ruining skirts and stockings in creeks is a universal childhood experience across genders.

Polybius Lives! Part 2 (Premium E325) Sample
In 1981 an arcade cabinet began popping up all over the Portland area called Polybius…or at least…that’s the claim. Released by a company called Sinneslöschen, the game used a graphics rendering technology that was impossibly ahead of its time and men in black were reported to be monitoring the machines. Kids that played reported having migraines, hallucinations, and memory loss while others became vehemently anti-arcade. But, just as quickly as the machines appeared, those same men in black soon took them away. No one has seen one since. In part two of this two-part episode, Jack LaRoche delves into the possible origins of this internet legend.

The Life of Fredrick Brennan feat. Jay Brandstetter (E361)
Fredrick Brennan, the self-taught programmer and type designer best known for founding and then later denouncing the anonymous imageboard 8chan, died on January 10th, 2026. He was 31 years old. We had Fredrick on the QAA podcast several times starting in 2019 and he always had valuable insights into the technical aspects of imageboards, the owner/operators of 8chan, and the history of the internet. To remember Fredrick’s life, his journey from free speech absolutist to crusader against QAnon and 8chan, and our personal stories of “copypaste,” Travis, Jake, and Julian are joined by Jay Brandstetter, Fredrick’s partner during the last months of his life and host of the I’m From the Internet podcast.

Polybius Lives! Part 1 (Premium E324) Sample
In 1981 an arcade cabinet began popping up all over the Portland area called Polybius…or at least…that’s the claim. Released by a company called Sinneslöschen, the game used a graphics rendering technology that was impossibly ahead of its time. Kids that played reported having migraines, hallucinations, and memory loss while others became vehemently anti-arcade. But, just as quickly as the machines appeared, those same men in black soon took them away. No one has seen one since. What is the truth behind Polybius? A military recruitment program? East German video game technology? Mere urban legend? In part one of this two-part episode, Jack LaRoche guides us through the background and usenet-sourced tales of this legendary arcade cabinet.

The Skokie Affair (E359)
Jake is retiring from neo-nazi research, but before he gets back to giant squids and time travelers, he's leaving us with a parting gift: a deep dive into The Skokie Affair. In 1977 Skokie, Illinois had a population of around 70,000 and it is said that 40,500 of them were Jewish. It is for this reason that a thirty-two year old, half Jewish neo-nazi, named Frank Collin, sent the Park District of Skokie a letter asking for a permit to hold a Nazi Parade. The case that followed (Village of Skokie v. NSPA) went all the way to the US Supreme Court leading to a precedent that still stands today.

49ers Electrical Substation Conspiracy Theory feat. Arif Hasan (Premium E322) Sample
As Super Bowl LX rolls into Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium, Jake Rockatansky and Travis View are joined by sports writer Arif Hasan (Wide Left newsletter) to dig into one of the NFL’s strangest modern fan obsessions: the idea that the San Francisco 49ers are cursed by an electrical substation. Over the last decade the Niners have become infamous for suffering from brutal, momentum-killing injuries. This has fueled endless theories about potential reasons for the medical incidents that are causing heartburn among football fans in the Bay Area. Is it turf, training, recruiting strategy, bad luck, or something else? One rumor has dominated the online discourse: the idea that the Northern Receiving Station, right next to where the pro athletes train and play, is bathing players in “EMF” and making them more injury-prone. We trace how the theory travelled from locker room chatter, to online content creators, to a “board-certified quantum biology practitioner” until it finally had to be addressed by the 49ers administration and NFL’s chief medical officer. This is despite the fact that the idea doesn’t have any empirical support and it doesn’t even make sense upon examination of the timeline of the substation.

We’ll cover emails from the likes of Elon Musk, Christopher Poole (aka "Moot"), Richard Branson, and...Xbox?

Multiplications of Effect: Thomas Pynchon’s Shadow Ticket feat. Devin Thomas O’ Shea (Premium E321) Sample
Devin Thomas O’Shea transports Travis to Milwaukee, 1932, where Thomas Pynchon’s newest novel Shadow Ticket kicks off with speakeasy intrigue, Depression misery, and a precision-engineered car bomb. Devin unpacks Pynchon’s characteristic hinge-of-history setting, when everyone’s forced to pick sides, as the book’s reluctant bruiser-turned-investigator Hicks McTaggart gets thrashed around by forces he can’t (and won’t) understand. Shadow Ticket’s paranoia, occult object-mysticism, and explosive politics connect to the real history of American labor violence: the Haymarket bombing and riot, the Bay View massacre, and the 1932 Ford hunger march. What can the novel, probably Pynchon’s last, teach us about our current strange moment in history?

American Reich (Premium E320) Sample
This week we dig into a peacoat-wearing QAnon counter-protester and end up unspooling a whole new nest of open fascists. First up: pardoned Jan. 6 figure and proud white supremacist Jake Lang, doing street-theater politics in Washington, D.C. at a “crusader rally,” complete with Nazi posturing, bizarre props, and an argument that quickly devolves into the classic far-right pastime: accusing each other of being FBI. We also track Lang’s later appearance near Minneapolis City Hall, where he and his crew clash with anti-ICE protesters, and where his claims about being “stabbed” don’t line up with what’s publicly verifiable. Then we pivot to a very different attempt at building an “American Reich”: a neo-Nazi “urban wear” merch brand that seemingly springs to life overnight on Instagram. From “Woke Reich” prototypes to explicit Nazi aesthetics, the episode traces the rapid online radicalization of an online creator and how algorithmic attention, engagement, and audience validation can help turn grievance content into an overt extremist identity (with a storefront attached). Content warning: This episode discusses neo-Nazi propaganda and symbolism, antisemitism, racist rhetoric, and political violence.

ICE vs. Your Lyin’ Eyes feat. Ken Klippenstein (Premium E319) Sample
Liv, Jake, and Travis grapple with the killing of Renee Good by an ICE Agent in Minneapolis. Though the incident was captured on video from multiple angles, discourse about it was immediately swallowed by a churn of regime spin, conspiracy narratives, and AI-assisted fakery. To get a better idea of how Department of Homeland Security leadership thinks and operates, Travis interviews independent journalist Ken Klippenstein about internal DHS documents recently leaked to him. Then Jake gives us his report from the fever swamps. The reactions include the inevitable “paid agitator” allegations and a megaphone-wielding QAnon figure who appears at protests to openly taunt crowds with violent rhetoric.

The Conspiracists feat. Noelle Cook (E355)
The new book The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook offers an unusually intimate look at why seemingly bizarre conspiracy worlds that involve starseeds, ascended masters, and shadowy cabals are powerfully compelling even when they damage the lives of believers. Rather than taking a detached academic approach, Cook traces how white, middle-aged women were pulled deeper into conspiratorial belief systems in the years leading up to and after January 6, through online communities, the pandemic, personal upheaval, and a New Age spiritual subculture fused with far-right politics. The book follows Cook’s long, complicated relationship with two women in particular: Yvonne St. Cyr and Tammy Butry. Yvonne, from Idaho, sought structure in the Marines after a turbulent childhood, then found a home in the world of conspirituality, where politics becomes divine destiny and January 6 becomes a “spiritual war.” Tammy, from Pennsylvania, carries a history of trauma and instability, including seeing how the real-world betrayal of the “Kids for Cash” scandal harmed her children, making QAnon’s “save the children” framing feel emotionally plausible. Together, their stories show how conspiracism can function as belonging, meaning, and an explanation big enough to encompass their pain. Travis and Jake talk to Noelle about how her book came together, her relationship with the two subjects, and why conspiracist movements like QAnon can appeal to women over fifty years old.

Werewolves of the Bayou feat. Jack LaRoche (Premium E318) Sample
A new strain of cryptozoology is howling across the internet. It’s less about stuff like “undiscovered birds” and more like “Bigfoot is interdimensional.” This week, we are joined by guest writer Jack LaRoche follow that trail straight into Louisiana’s swampy heartland to meet the Rougarou: a Cajun loup-garou legend shaped by Catholic ideas about sin and control, then transformed through centuries of cultural mixing into something that’s been feared, joked about, and even embraced as a local mascot. Along the way, we rewind to medieval France to untangle where “werewolves” actually come from, detour through the shaky math and moral panic of the werewolf trials, and trace how the Acadian diaspora and Indigenous storytelling traditions helped remake the monster on American soil. It’s sometimes a trickster, sometimes a warning, sometimes protection. We end by asking what these stories do: how folklore polices behavior, manufactures outsiders, and rhymes with modern conspiracist fearcraft.

Candace Owens Goes Rogue (Premium E316) Sample
In the three months since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kirk’s former friend and colleague Candace Owens has spun several wild conspiracy theories about that event. Owens rejects the mainstream narrative of a single killer who had no accomplices, instead insinuating that Kirk’s death was part of an international conspiracy involving Israel, Egypt, and possibly France. She has further implied that Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, is helping cover up the supposed truth behind the fatal gunshot, to the outrage of much of the right wing media ecosystem. Travis, Jake, and Julian break down the unfolding scandal that has inspired a parade of conservative influencers to denounce Owens, why this has not harmed Owens’ popularity, and Owens’ faulty investigative methods (which mostly consists of uncritically repeating the wildest stories and rumors that come across her inbox.)

Perhaps some of us watered with Diet Coke, Monster Energy, and Electrolytes instead of classic H20, which would explain why some of us are so much more powerful than others. For this week’s episode, Travis, Jake, and Liv form a meeting of the minds. We talk about some of the latest and ongoing news stories from pilled America that each host has been drawn to like a hummingbird to that sweet sweet sugar water. It’s a grab bag, so reach in and pull out your favorite host, pull the cord on their back, and retreat in horror (or hopefully laugh) as they spit out their latest rabbit hole.

When “When Prophecy Fails” Fails (E350)
The 1956 book When Prophecy Fails describes one of the most famous case studies in social psychology. The researchers Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter covertly joined a small, apocalyptic UFO group, observing how members prepared, including quitting jobs, giving away possessions, and severing ties with skeptics. According to the book, when the group’s predicted disaster did not occur, instead of simply abandoning their beliefs, many core members strengthened their commitment and actively sought new converts. But it didn’t actually happen like that. In truth, Festinger and his fellow researchers glossed over evidence that contradicted their thesis and actively influenced the UFO group to get the result they wanted. This is the discovery of our guest Thomas Kelly. By combing through newly unsealed materials from Festinger’s archives, UFO and occult magazines of the 1950s, later writings by group leader Dorothy Martin, he discovered crucial information that was omitted by the original book. Kelly detailed his startling findings in a paper published in the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences titled Debunking “When Prophecy Fails.” Travis interviews Kelly to discuss the real story behind When Prophecy Fails, the possible consequences of invalidating Festinger’s study, and how his work fits in the wider “replication crisis” in experimental psychology.

The records show interactions with individuals across politics, academia, finance and media, including Noam Chomsky, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and author Michael Wolff. We cover Epstein’s comments about Trump, Michael Wolff’s creepy work with Epstein, Bannon’s request to visit “the island” the day that Epstein was arrested in New Jersey, and the notorious email in which Epstein’s brother references a “photo of Trump blowing Bubba.” Plus: how the QAnon and conspiracist communities are spinning the new revelations.

Our QAnon Friends in Government (E348)
In many sad cases, promoting QAnon ends with broken relationships and derailed careers. But occasionally, QAnon promoters end up in Congress or as Director of the FBI. This week Jake, Travis, and Liv check in with our QAnon friends in government. We chat about Rep. Margarie Taylor Greene’s split with Trump and accusations that FBI Director Kash Patel is living large (while impressing his 24-year-old country singer girlfriend) on the taxpayer’s dime. We also discuss The Blaze’s bumbling attempt to identify the January 6th Pipebomber through “gait analysis” and Trump’s new involvement in the case of former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters, who is serving a 9 year prison sentence for election interference. We don’t cover the newly released emails about Epstein, not because any of us have been tourists to Little Saint James, but because the document tranche was inconveniently released shortly after we recorded this episode. We will however cover that, along with the spin conspiracy world, next week.
