Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle brings Nile a series of stories of bizarre encounters with surreal humanoid cryptids. Do strange, faceless, long-limbed entities lurk in the forests of the western side of the United States? And if they do, what the hell are they? A cryptid? An alien? A supernatural entity? Hard hitting questions are asked, such as: what would cryptids look like in symbiosis? And why the hell are all the cryptozoology boomers becoming obsessed with AI? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we head up north to hang out in Michigan and learn all about the myriad ghosts that haunt the car-free island known as Mackinac. How did places like the Mission Point Resort come to have a reputation for being extremely haunted? Is there a single room at the resort that functions as a convergence of the supernatural, thus allowing guests to experience a ghostly triple whammy? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we're concluding our overview of the life, research, and UFO experiences of Dr. Karla Turner...for now. Now that the Turner family is working with MUFON colleague and trained hypnotherapist Barbara Bartholic, what deeper secrets can be uncovered? Has the alien presence in their lives been there far longer than they could have ever imagined? And were Barbara and Karla murdered for what they knew? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we continue our journey with Dr. Karla Turner and her bizarre experiences with UFOs and the mysterious entities within them. Now we meet Karla's husband Elton who has incidentally become patient zero for uncovering the alien forces in both their lives. What haunting and surreal stories were uncovered from Elton's repressed memories? Can a hypnotist help the Turner family? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin a discussion about the life and work of Karla Turner, a well-respected member of the UFO community whose own experiences with alien abduction drove her to dive headfirst into research. How did Turner come to abandon her life in academia to pursue UFO truth? And what sort of framework has she developed for investigating the phenomenon? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle returns to learn all about the Phoebus Cartel, an infamous group of international businesses who once worked together to rig lightbulb manufacturing. Price fixing, planned obsolescence, and shady business deals, oh my! Who is behind the cartel and how were they able to seize control of the lightbulb industry? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there, Weirdos! This week Jules and Nile sit down to discuss a pressing issue of the day, the Pig-Man. Whether its in Cannock Chase or in Northfield, Pig-Men are standing in forests and scaring many a person and we are going to get to the bottom of it.

This week Jules and Nile finish out the docuseries "D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?" and discuss the further adventures of team Tom Colbert and his retiree investigative squad. We also hear more about the modern online culture of the Cooperites, and a delightful Canadian comic theory related to the identity of Dan Cooper

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules and Nile tackle the first two episodes of a four-episode docuseries on D.B. Cooper and the various people who have tried to solve the mystery. Is this series good? Is D.B. Cooper a secret CIA asset who now has a very cute Westie? Can Jules and Nile recount the whole plot of Without a Paddle from memory? All this and much more in this week's It Gets Weird!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we took a dive into the "Lacerta transcripts," a text that supposedly documents a meeting between a human and one of the inner-earth Reptilian aliens known as the Lacerta. What did Ole K. learn about Reptilian society and biology? Is an entire lizard world living alongside humanity in the Earth's core? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to try our best to talk about cryptozoological frogs, but we admit we were easily distracted in this one. We think the Flashlight Frog would have been finally revealed to the world if a certain cryptozoologist hadn't been distracted, as well! We also investigate behemoth of a frog-creature: the Crocodile Frog of Borneo. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we're celebrating the ten year anniversary of It Gets Weird by talking about John F. Kennedy, the world's most normal president who died in an extremely normal way surrounded by a cast of completely normal characters...or did he? That's right, this week we're doing a special XL episode discussing the bizarre world of JFK assassination conspiracies. All this and much more!

Kyle and Nile are traveling and so we are unlocking the first episode of our Patreon series on The Prisoner for the main feed! Check out our discussion of this surreal sci-fi classic with friend of the show (and devotee of the series), Jules as we try to get to the bottom of what's going on in this mysterious village

Jules and Nile watch a documentary about the supposed events that the Wicker Man is inspired by. However the documentary is maybe not as inspiring as we'd hoped. Check out all our thoughts on mid 20th century british occultism and the exploration of the last occult sacrifice in british history.......kinda......maybe?

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we ask a question that somehow didn't occur to us for about a decade: who took the first UFO photo? Well, it's possible it was a man named William Rhodes, depending on who you ask. Did this guy really take the first photograph of a flying saucer all the way back in 1947, hot off the heels of Kenneth Arnold's original sighting? Did Air Force Intelligence try to smear Rhodes as a kook, and if so, why? All this and much more!
