Is the human race truly descended from extraterrestrials, as Ancient Aliens star Giorgio Tsoukalos posits? Is it more of a spiritual thing? Hard to say, but we now know the process with which we can find out, and that is the Buzzfeed "Are You A Loner?" quiz.

It's that time of the week again and It Gets Weird is here to bring you another "documentary" special! Well, sort of. This week we watched a show called Paranormal Survivor, which isn't exactly a documentary, but close enough. This show tackled three different stories about folks who have been through paranormal encounters and have come out the other side "surviving." The boys have some ideas on how to improve the format of these paranormal programs...let's start with more creepy footage.

Grab your saber, pistol, and mightiest steed - this one's a doozy.

Hello It Gets Weird friends, we humbly approach you with a brand new episode. This week we decided to dive into some clandestine terrorism in the form of Operation Gladio.

This UFO makes strange noises and kills birds, making it one of the deadlier UFO encounters that we know of. We also talk computer games, Weird Al's legacy, and Euro Trip but with aliens. One thing is very clear - It Gets Weird wants to party with extraterrestrials.

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 01 Jul 2018 19:44:42 +0000

Howdy pardners. It Gets Weird is here to talk about one Albert Pike, a polarizing and possibly problematic person. All alliteration aside, Albert Pike may have been involved in bringing Satanism to the Masons, helped form the Illuminati, and maybe helped found the KKK. Uh-oh. We also talk about plotting comedy points on charts, WWIII predictions, and a bracelet that can summon Satan!

Episode 101 - F*ck! This Documentary!! (Love and Saucers)

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 24 Jun 2018 17:03:44 +0000

Hey folks, so we watched a documentary this week, bringing friend of the show, Jules on to help our quest to find good conspiracy/paranormal/extraterrestrial documentaries and this week we actually succeeded! Listener of the show, @riponc3 suggested this documentary called Love and Saucers (available on Amazon Prime and Hulu at the time of me writing this) about a man who had some formative experiences with aliens and paints them. By formative, I do mean sexual. This man has had an ongoing affair with aliens and may have children with them. This all sounds like the makings of a skeevy documentary, but in this case, it's very endearing and good. Give it a shot!

Also, we have a Patreon at www.patreon.com/itgetsweird and if you want to donate, you'll get regular bonus content from the IGW Crew. We've got some fun stuff planned, so if you like the podcast, you'll find something you'll like in our Patreon bonus content.

Hello everybody! It's here, it's really here! Episode 100 of It Gets Weird has landed and we have a special one for the occasion. This week, Kyle and Nile strap on their best tinfoil hats and Alex Jones impersonations to have the ultimate debate: Hollow Earth or Flat Earth? We got friend of the podcast Collin (from sister podcast Pop Culture Role Call) on to act as moderator of this intense debate. He is well-needed as Nile and Kyle start to go for each other's throats to prove, once-and-for-all, which theory Collin likes better.

Also, It Gets Weird has a Patreon now! Woohoo! If you've been listening to the show but want to take our relationship to the next level, please visit our Patreon page and kick us a couple'a bucks! If you can! If you can't, we totally get it. Click here!

We've got one more cryptid for you while we're still in the double digits. This week we discuss the Fouke Monster and various sightings of the cryptid over the decades. This Bigfoot-like creature has been showing its face for so long that it is a bit of a "Fouke legend," you might say?

All this and more on the penultimate It Gets Weird cryptozoology expose!

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 27 May 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Why does Earth get all the dinosaurs? Did we really think that other planets didn't have something to offer in the big-ol'-lizard-bones department? This week we talk with our friend Garrett about "xenoarchaeology," which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: dinosaur bones on other planets, or specifically in this case, Mars. We also talk a little too much about iSpy books, whippets, and the idea of a solar system-wide Bigfoot tournament. All this and much, much more on this week's It Gets Weird!

Back to basics this week with two hosts, two mics, and a trip into the mind of a screenplay writer who has synthesized the Bible, history, and science into one...cohesive (???) story. Ever wonder about the first wedding in the garden of Eden, or how the five cherubim made up God's throne? We've got all that and much more (including everyone's favorite conspiracy topic, predicting 9/11). Take a listen and see if you want to download the screenplays as badly as we did after discussing the topic.

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 13 May 2018 16:45:55 +0000

How do you open a portal to Hell? Would there be a winged Satan baby flying around? Would a goat man hump wildly in front of world leaders? If you answered 'yes' to these questions, then you're ready for the Gotthard Tunnel Opening Ceremony. This week we had a party 'cast in which Garrett, Jules, and Scott joined our hosts to witness the infamous ceremony for Switzerland's Gotthard Base Tunnel, a strange theatrical performance full of odd imagery, goat drama, and a bunch of great asses.

How long would it take you to move if aliens began to harass you at your house? A month? A year? 2 years? How about over 20?! Well if you lasted that long, you are probably the residents of Stardust Ranch, John and Joyce Edmonds. This week on It Gets Weird we are joined by Garrett, and we talk about the Edmonds' experience with grey aliens over the past couple decades. You wouldn't expect John to take this harassment lying down would you? Well, he doesn't. Get ready for all sorts of armaments that lead to a pretty great K/D ratio for Mr. Edmonds.

This is our Flat Earth Conspiracy episode folks where we talk about all this and much, much more with our friends and first time guests, Dim and Jim from Sink or Swim podcast.

*Unfortunately there was a weird mic issue on Kyle's mic later on. It gets really quiet a couple times? I'm working on troubleshooting that. I guess this is how we separate the ride or dies from the casual IGW listeners. It's like Battle Royale, but with quiet audio.

This week, Kyle tells the tale of Waverly Hills Sanitorium and I continue to only call it Waverly Place because my pop culture brain has ruined me. We discuss Room 502 and how Ghost Adventures possibly harassed the ghost in the weirdest way possible (see clip). Then we come up with our ideal lineup for a sanitorium music festival. Get psyched for It Gets Weird Fest 2017 at Waverly Hills.

On a side note, our intro tonight is a bit different since we recently had a tragic loss in our friend circle. We want to dedicate this to our recently departed friend, Riley and have posted his family's gofundme below if anyone wishes to help out.

In this episode, we are joined by Nile's brother Drew to talk about current events through the lens of Operation Mockingbird. Oh, and by current events, we definitely don't talk about a certain president elect's love of golden showers. This is another episode where the 'conspiracy' is, in fact, real!. This doesn't stop us from talking about Gene Simmon's Family Jewels, Buzzfeed, and predicting SNL's Alec Baldwin Trump pee sketch.

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 04 Dec 2016 16:16:03 +0000

Gather 'round the fire folks, it's time for some scary stories. This week we are doing something a little different. Kyle and Nile both bring spooky tales to present to a guest who then picks one story to play a choose-your-own-adventure style game in which they must survive a weird encounter.

We are also joined by our good friends Garrett and Collin for this wild ride.

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 15:49:46 +0000

This week Kyle takes us through a favorite unsolved case of his, the 1948 Australian mystery "Taman Shud" case, aka the "Somertan Man." Was he a Russian Spy? Did he just like obscure Persian poetry?

Buckle in.

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 14:44:26 +0000

We've talked a lot about aliens trying to kill us. Here at It Gets Weird we think we've generally given aliens a pretty bad rap so far. No longer. This week we walk Mantis aliens, who may be here to kill us all but could just be here to save humans from destroying themselves. One out of two ain't bad! We also talk about Independence Day, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, the hierarchy of aliens, and a continuation of our Grand Unified Theory of Aliens.

Episode 13 - Extra Big Pharma (Forest Hoax)

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 16 Oct 2016 15:27:13 +0000

So what if forest's don't actually exist? Collin is back, joining us as Kyle explains a flat earth conspiracy that claims that forests are a lie. Are they actually bushes?

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 16:26:26 +0000

Episode 10! Double digits are cool, right? This week we discuss the multitude of conspiracies about organizations (such as NASA) attempting (or at least planning) to nuke the moon. Yes, the moon in the sky. The very same. Is it due to alien bases or just a show of force? Either way, strap in and get your Big Question Britches ready for this one, folks.

Episode 09 - Catholicism After Dark (Pope John Paul)

itgetsweirdpodcast@gmail.com (Nile and Kyle) — Sun, 18 Sep 2016 16:28:43 +0000

Check out this pious episode of It Gets Weird for the answers.

We try determining if Mothman is a time-traveling voyeur who just wants to watch folks smooch or perhaps if he's just a misunderstood blues singer.

Ron Hubbard is to blame for alien visitation to our world and not just Scientology.
