LR087 - Skinwalkers Can Fuck Right Off w/ SteveX
Feb 2402:32:34Tap to summarizeSend a textThis time around, SteveX & I dive head first into the Navajo lore of the Skinwalker. They are truly terrifying Witchy ass creatures that ought not be trifled with. For some reason, White People have an endless interest in them & keep trying to encounter them. Which is just plain crazy, amiright?! Enter...SKINWALKER RANCH. We spend a good amount of time discussing that cursed piece of land too. But hey, we tell you how to kill them. So that's good.

Transcribe →LR085 - Getting Icky about David Icke w/ Dave Angiolini
Nov 2402:21:02Tap to summarizeSend a textDave is back to discuss one of his favorite conspiracy theorists, David Icke (that's IKE not ICKY, thank you)! I personally did not know much about him other than he is way into Reptilians, so this was an enlightening conversation for me. We gloss over most of his bonkers theories about Hybrid Alien Bloodlines, Reptilian agendas, who is really in control of this mad world, why Princess Di was killed and more!

Oct 2802:35:10Tap to summarizeSend a textRaven Riot returns to talk about SHC! I really can't wrap my brain around these cases & I think you'll find them interesting cause there really are no words to explain what happened to these people. The explanations don't add up & we are left with more questions than answers. What the hell causes these people to burn up into a pile of ashes? I honestly still have no clue.LISTEN TO:Julianna Riolino - Echo In The DustJake Kohn - Where Do We Go From Here?

Sep 802:34:34Tap to summarizeSend a textThis time around, Renni Pollock, host of COMPANY MOVE joins me to discuss her Hometown nut house, The Peoria State Hospital in Illinois. Its history is actually one of inspiration & good, ethical treatment during a time when State Hospitals were notorious for basically torturing their patients. And of course, it's haunted too. We also discuss the Dammasch State Hospital in Oregon, which has a much more sordid past & downfall but what exists on its former grounds is interesting to say the least. STEVEX is also back at the end of the episode to give his Denver Airport Update!

Aug 1102:26:29Tap to summarizeSend a textSTEVE X is back to discuss the mysteries behind the DIA, or the Denver International Airport, or DEN, or Illuminati World HQ...whatever you want to call it. It has underground tunnels, "Apocalyptic" Murals, Masonic time capsules, it was built on a Native American Burial Ground (possibly), its runways form a Swatstika, it has a Demonic Mustang statue that killed the Artist who made it, it has Gargoyles...and more! To top it off, Airport officials have fully embraced the chaos & conspiracies surrounding its existence. Is it all in good fun or all smoke & mirrors? We don't know! So join us in a spirited conversation about all of this Mile High Madness!A PIECE ABOUT THE MURALS WITH ARTIST LEO TANGUMA:https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/rocky-mountain-pbs/dia-mural-conspiracies-storyTHE FUNNIEST VIDEO ABOUT THE CONSPIRACIES I WATCHED.

She's strong, beautiful & awesome in so many ways & she opens up about her fight in this 1 on 1 LIVE conversation we had in the studio. After the conversation she shares a song she wrote for her husband, Ryan, called "Valkyrie" that is a must listen. Enjoy!Alessandra played guitar in a band with my Wife called SEI HEXE.
