    MANTIS ALIENS-"PSYCHO-SURGICAL SEX CANNIBALS...& THEY'RE THE GOOD GUYS!"
    Sep 19 2024

    WHAT'S UP KOOOOOOOOOOOOKS! This week we're taking a 3D stereo-optic vision look into UFOlogy's most misunderstood good guys (OR ARE THEY?!): THE MANTIS ALIENS! We'll examine their fascinating earthbound cousins then jump into the alien and cryptid insectoid lore then get deep into the DMT realms where these entities are allegedly encountered all around the world by numerous unaffiliated psychonauts. Then finally we close out with quick recaps over the strange data of insectoid adjacent mad science bastard spawn of lost or obscure forgotten figures such as Andrew Crosse or Viktor Grebinnikov and just how they both bugged out. All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" Give it a listen as it wriggles it's way up under your skin! "YUCK!" and/or "YUM!"

  • THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER-"MINOTAUR MACGUFFIN"

    THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER-"MINOTAUR MACGUFFIN"
    Sep 7 2024
    HEYYOOO! What's up everybody? This week things are gonna get dark as we examine the infamously UNSOLVED "Black Dahlia" murder mystery! We'll try our best to get to know the victim, Elizabeth Short (or "Betty", as she liked to be called) & try to dispel many of the awful rumors and misinformation about her that have spread since her gruesome death. We'll take a look at the looooong list of suspects, both usual and unusual. We'll examine some of the theories as well as why they may or may not be close to the truth, while paying extra attention to what is currently the most popularly accepted & highly lucrative *cough[BULLSHIT!]cough* narrative behind the murder. Finally, we'll take a quick peek into the inextricably linked & extremely dysfunctional Hodel family, as we rummage through the many skeletons in their collective closets. ALL THIS PLUS AN ALL NEW "WHAT'S WEIRD THIS WEEK?" Get yourself some latex gloves and put a dab of vapo-rub under your nose as the fellas delve into the infamously... STILL UNSOLVED..."BLACK DAHLIA" MURDER MYSTERY! (OH! And of course we'll be throwing out a few theories & ideas of our own, so be sure to stick around to the end!) Email us!: kooksandcranks@gmail.com *Opening/closing theme: "Ghost Town" by Aves, also featuring: "Wrong Side of the Tracks" (instrumental version) by Artifacts, theme song from "Family Ties", as well as "In The Mood" by The Glenn Miller Band *"W.W.T.W.?"

    QUANTUM COMPUTING-"YES IT'S AMAZING...BUT CAN YOU MAKES THE SEX AT IT?"
    Aug 29 2024

    THREE MEN & A NASTY! This week we invite a special guest and old school regular "Kooks & Cranks" fixture, Matt a.k.a. "Mr. Nasty", as he joins the fellas to discuss the various potential dreamscapes and/or nightmare worlds presented by the advent of ubiquitous massive scale quantum computation (that is, if such a thing is even truly achievable). Tune in and listen to four increasingly inebriated individuals attempts to break down some super scientifical type shit! All this plus an all new "What's Weird This Week?" featuring therapy parrots, the unimpeachable integrity of Mark Zuckerberg, UK gravy wrestling, a nicotine addicted lake monster, & more! ALL OF OUR CALCULATIONS HAVE PROVEN THIS SHOW TO BE... OBJECTIVELY AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

    Opening theme: "Ghost Town" by Aves, also ft. instrumental music from "Tiffany Sequence" by Riz Ortolani, "B.O.B.B.Y." by The RZA, "Quando, Quando, Quando" by Englebert Humperdinck, "Back In The High Life Again" by Steve Winwood for some reason, & finally an excerpt from that "starspangly bummer" song as well.
