    Apr 25 2024

    Howdy do kooks! This week we're talking UFOs, aliens, & just what little do we really "KNOW!" about those particular topics. Basically, this episode is intended to be a primer for any and all future alien or UFOlogy related episodes, in an attempt to provide a stable foundation for trying to sift through mounds and mounds of bullshit! WE'RE GETTIN' TO THE BOTTOM A THINGS 'ROUND HERE! RIGHT UP IN THAT BOTTOM! All this plus "W.W.T.W.?" where we peruse the news for a few dudes views on: a sticky-fingered sex toy entrepreneur, a specific as the dickens carjacking, and a double dose of dastardly bastards feasting on just desserts...JUSTICE DESSERTS! Put in your brains!

  • MARC DUTROUX (PART DEUX)-"ORENTHAL JAMS"
    Apr 17 2024

    HEYYYYYYOOOO! What's up all you beautiful kooks! Here it is..."part deux" of our deux part Marc Dutroux series, where we'll be going in depth to all of the highly infuriating, utterly baffling, & extremely suspect particulars of what will come to collectively make up the mindboggling entirety of what's become known as "The Dutroux Case". Join us as we delve into covering the crimes & following court case, as well as all of the maddening peripheral events which only further go on to illustrate the incredibly high likelihood for the existence of a legitimate no shit FRFR nationwide criminal conspiracy!

    "The Ogre of The Ardennes" may have been locked away in a deep, dark dungeon but is this story truly over? All this & more plus "W.W.T.W.?"! where we talk "Florida Woman", get the inside poop on a newly disgraced politician, then say "See ya in hell!" to one recently dead legend in sports, comedy, & scot-free spousal homicide! Listen & Enjoy!

  • MARC DUTROUX Pt.1-PRONOUNCED LIKE "DOUXDOUX"
    Apr 15 2024

    Hey there you beautiful, kind, sympathetic and totally understanding kooks! First of all, sorry about the lack of episode last week but the eclipse ended up throwing off our whole schedule & on top of that (woof!) this here...this is some dark, disturbing subject matter that required quite a few breaks in between research in order to keep our mental health at acceptable levels. However, given the current American political, and by extension conspiratorial zeitgeist, we thought that this was a timely topic that needed to be discussed. For those of you who know the story behind the piece of shit that happens to be the subject of this (and our next) episode, then you're well aware of what it is you're in for. For those who don't? Just don't say you were never warned! We'll try our best to gloss over as many of the horrific details whenever possible, but once again, we felt that given the current climate of conspiratorial rhetoric in America today, what with all the Qanon, "cheese pizza", "adrenochrome" shit show inextricably interwoven into politics, this is something that we felt needed to be brought to the fore of public consciousness. It's rough stuff & part deux is likely to be far worse. As stated before, we going to try our very best to maintain a respectful stance overall for the victims involved, while pointing out much of the contemporary hypocrisy, lies, and unmitigated bullshit which surrounds us today. So far this is some of our darker subject material to date and (excluding next episode) will hopefully be one of the very few times we have to address it. But don't fret dear listener, we will whenever possible attempt to mix in a bit of levity & lightheartedness into the mix any and everywhere we can get away with it. If nothing else, we hope this 2 part series supplies you with some much needed food for thought. Thanks for listening!


    *BTW, Pt.2 WILL be posted up this Wednesday! Again, sorry for the wait!
