Premium Episode 118: The Mothman (Cryptid Series)

I love you guys but the connections to Project Midnight Climax and the fact that this was possibly related to the LSD drugging of an entire town was not made regardless of the fact that it is and remains a conspiracy theory.

Love this episode

Have y’all ever done anything involving Twin Peaks or David Lynch? The Secret History of Twin Peaks and The Final Dossier both have some serious Deep State stuff

Just re-listened to see whether there was any mention of "Hellier" in this episode. I'd be interested to hear y'all's take on that story. Either way, this episode was AWESOME 👍

I have some real doubts that teenagers in 1966 West Virginia had access to LSD

does anyone know if there's any episode on chanology?

What was the other Keel book (not Mothman Prophecies) that Jake recommended at the end of this episode?

Matt had a theory on his vlogs that Mothman was the result of an MKUltra experiment where they put LSD into the villages water supply.

ALL GOOD ALL GOOD

Yeah I was getting genuinely annoyed at the "respectable frog" discourse. It's a fucking joke, he's not actually implying the frog is respectable.

That was hilarious. One note about the respectable frog, I was chatting to my pa a couple of years ago, before he passed away, and he told me he really missed how funny newspapers were back in the day. He was a pretty respectable chap so maybe he read ironically. But it’s also possible the writer was taking the piss. Solid slice of content, keep it coming!

I love how emotional you got at the end.

I don't think that you can but there is a Patreon guide to getting RSS feeds via other apps that support that

Oh, another thing with Ron that I forget to mention: I think it's possible that he was Q. Or one of the Q's. But I also think that his behaviour with the Bannon stuff and other hints at him being Q could be consistent with him just messing around with Cullen for fun since he knows that Cullen wants to know. See, this is what I mean! This is messing with my brain. Another fun thought that hit me the other night was that maybe Fred and Cullen were behind this and had orchestrated everything from the beginning! Oh. Haha. Speaking of Fred. For a brief moment when he was getting ready to flee from the Philippines, I expected to see him being lowered down by rope from a window or something. I think that something like that was part of a story in your latest episode with Brennan. 😆 Which he objected to since it wasn't true.

Anyone else have views on Q: Into the storm? I've seen it. So if you want to avoid any hint of spoilers, just scroll past. I wish it would have been longer. I liked it overall, but it was a bit frustrating 'cause no matter which theory proves to be true regarding who Q is, you'd sound like a fringe nut if you tried to explain it to someone. All the live options were already so elaborate and unbelievable that my brain started coming up with other ideas too and it was just... aahhh! I mean, I think it makes sense that Ron was Q. Given the evidence. But he seens so immature and both he and Jim just seem so inept that it's such an unsatisfying answer. The way Ron giddily brought up stuff that I thought that he'd arranged to throw people off his track, he was too obvious. The way he seemed evasive about some things and then excitedly showed all the traffic from Q coming from Bannon's address and was suddenly extremely open. I also noticed how Jim and Ron didn't seem to answer "no" to questions like "are you Q?", instead they said "I am not Q" and things like that. I heard some expert talk about a crime case recently where I think that they said that that could be a sign of deception or of distancing themselves or something. But I could be misremembering. Jim and Ron seemed dodgy. I liked the ending where a carefree Jim is kind of taking selfies at a relatively safe distance from the capitol on the 6th of January as people, spurred on my Q-endorsed ideas, were hurt and killed inside. It felt like such a clear image of how Jim and Ron had treated the whole Q thing and everybody affected by it. Like a game. A prop. A stage. Whatever. Having a hard time putting what I mean into words (not my first language) but I think you know what I mean. Oh and Jake (I think it was) - Newanon! Cute! :p

Hey guys! How can I listen to these premium episodes on Spotify?
