  • EMPEROR NORTON-"THE BIG DOG CANDY MOUNTAIN" (fixed audio/mulligan stew)
    May 9 2024

    Howdy Kooks! This week we're covering the one and only Joshua Abraham Norton I, Emperor of America, Protector of Mexico, Discordian Saint, & King of The Hobos! This here's an episode that's straight up chock full of old timey frontier weirdness! And speaking of weirdness, we've also got our "WWTW?" segment that all adds together for an episode to shonuff raise some questions. Will Spencer ever time travel? Will Mike ever be considered an actual "intergalactivist"? Will Chris feel the repercussions of free speech? TRAVEL THROUGH TIME WITH US! (WARNING! We're not held liable for any form of quantum chicanery however, just FYI.) XOXOXO!

  • DFW PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY VOL.1 - "MOOLOCH!"
    Apr 30 2024

    HEYYYOOOOO! What's up you beautiful kooks! Can you guess why there's 3 Y's & 5 O's in "HEYYYOOOOO"? FREEMASONS! THAT'S WHY! (Nah, it's just typed that way arbitrarily...honest!) This episode is the first in a spaced out (& SPACED OUT!) ongoing series where the fellas begin by delving into the psychogeographical landscape of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including: the "paranormal ecology", or the "urban demonology" if you will, the "occult history", and the totality of the overall "psychic landscape" of our fair (& often foul!) Metroplex area! First up in this series: we discuss the most infamous crime in Dallas history...THE ASSASSINATION OF JFK! However, we'll mostly be approaching it from a Masonic symbolism standpoint as first posited by O.G. conspiracy crank & certified kook, Mr. James Shelby Downard! We'll also be tossing out quite a few breadcrumbs (if not flat out overtly mention) regarding future topics that we'll be covering later on in this series! IT'S SO DAMNED GOOD, YOU'LL WANT IT INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO INTO YOUR OWN BLOOD! xoxo!


    Opening/closing theme: Sergei Profokiev's "Dance of The Knights", as well as an audio excerpt taken from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxIxk6h6RiE


    SOURCES: "King Kill 33" & "The Carnivals of Life and Death" by James Shelby Downard, also...THE STREETS!

  • VALDAMAR VALERIAN-"MATRIXIXIXIXESESESES!"
    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!
