Conspiracy of 2 Podcast

This isn’t Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No”—it’s “Just Say WTF”, as Nick and Ryan stumble through the rise of fentanyl: the drug so potent it makes heroin look like chamomile tea. The boozed up brothers discuss the rise of fentanyl, the opioid crisis, and why Big Pharma basically turned America into one giant painkiller trial nobody signed up for.

Highlights include:

• Funeral Rave Grandma Edition — where Xanax gets passed out like Wer...

Buckle up, because this episode is what happens when Back to the Future gets filmed behind a Missouri trailer with a stolen transformer and absolutely zero adult supervision.

In this week’s Conspiracy of Two, Ryan drags Nick into the electrified fever dream of Mike “Madman” Markum—the redneck backyard genius (or backyard menace) who allegedly built a time machine out of coat hangers, scrap metal, and enough voltage to make OSHA fain...

This episode plays out like Mad Max: Hippie edition, with Charles Manson leading a ragtag gang of desert weirdos who thought they were preparing for the apocalypse but really just look like extras from a bad B-movie. By Part 2, Manson’s “Family” has fully drunk the Kool-Aid (or maybe just the bad acid) and they’re carrying out his insane vision of Helter Skelter—a race war supposedly hidden in Beatles lyrics that only he could deco...

This episode is like That 70’s Show if everyone quit smoking weed and started listening to a lunatic with a busted guitar. Charles Manson, the world’s angriest pint-sized folk singer, strums a guitar badly enough to start a murder cult. He couldn’t land a record deal, so he settled for recruiting a bunch of barefoot hippies who thought desert dirt was a food group. 

Nick and Ryan dive into Manson’s “career,” which is basically a blo...

Stanley Milford Jr. didn’t sign up to fight monsters—he signed up to be a ranger. But on the Navajo rez, that meant one part lawman, one part tour guide, and one part “oh crap, was that a skinwalker doing 65 next to my Chevy?” Nick and Ryan dive into the career of the world’s first Supernatural Ranger—a guy who basically lived in a crossover episode of Cops and The X-Files.

His greatest hits? A demonic spellbook casually hanging out...

This episode is less “serious history lecture” and more “History Channel after three shots of whiskey.” Nick and Ryan crack open the story of Hitler and the occult like two brothers who accidentally wandered into an Indiana Jones reboot filmed on a thrift-store budget. Between swigs of Pinot Noir and rye whiskey, they connect prophetic trench dreams, Nazi pig mascots, and Henry Ford’s very questionable hobbies into a wild ride thro...

This episode is basically Breaking Bad meets Parks and Rec, with less meth and way more paperwork. Our unsuspecting hero, Pete Forcelli, rolls into Phoenix ready to fight crime—only to discover the ATF is running what looks suspiciously like a cartel loyalty program. Buy 10 AK-47s, get the 11th free! Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney’s Office can’t be bothered, because apparently prosecuting crimes is sooo last season. 

Nick and Ryan div...

Forget CSI: Miami—this is CSI: Adelaide, where the corpses are dapper, the calves are suspiciously jacked, and the detectives are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

Nick and Ryan crack open the mystery of the Somerton Man, a 1948 beachside “who-dunnit” featuring:

• A corpse dressed sharper than a banker on Derby Day, but with all his clothing tags cut off like he was sponsored by Goodwill’s Witness Protection Program.
• ...

This episode isn’t so much “paranormal investigation” as it is Ghostbusters meets Dumb and Dumber, with extra booze and a demon who apparently hates plumbing. Nick and Ryan unpack the saga of the Smurl family, whose Pennsylvania duplex turned into a 15-year carnival of supernatural nonsense. First it was rugs growing stains faster than toddlers with Kool-Aid, then  rocking chairs that refused to respect personal boundaries and even...

Forget meditation apps—this episode is your guide to living (and sleeping) with paranormal freeloaders. Nick and Ryan crack open the bizarre world of shadow people, those trench-coat creeps who love showing up uninvited at 3 a.m. to stand in the corner like unpaid interns at your anxiety convention.

Step one: meet “The Hat Man,” basically a fedora-wearing sleep paralysis coach whose only advice is “scream quietly.” Step two: get coz...

This episode is less Close Encounters and more “Hold My Beer, Jesus” as Nick and Ryan stumble through the life of Chris Bledsoe—a man whose existence plays like the world’s darkest blooper reel before aliens show up to make things weirder. By age 10 he’d already been shot in the back, lit on fire, and busted his face on a bunk bed; by 20, his wife died in his arms and he fell off scaffolding. Naturally, the only logical next step w...

Forget Dan Brown—this is more like Monty Python meets National Treasure, with a heavy pour of tequila and bourbon. Nick and Ryan stumble headfirst into the saga of the Knights Templar, nine medieval dudes who thought poverty and celibacy sounded like a good time—as long as they still got horses and swords. Somehow, these broke monks reinvented themselves as history’s first bankers, inventing the medieval version of Venmo, before ge...

In this episode, we discuss our two most credible cases to date, one slightly more than the other. Join us for our Season 1 Finale as we change things up a bit and give you two highly researched cases for the price of one. Hint hint, if you haven’t paid a price at all, you should go do that over on Patreon right now. We’ll wait. Thank you in advance for your staggering contribution to our booze fund. This episode is much akin to a ...

In this episode, we discuss the fascinating yet terrifying eccentricity that is Jack Parsons, aka Marvel Whiteside Parsons, aka Frater T.O.P.A.N. What is this guy, a WWE wrestler? Truth be told, I think I would rather sign up for a John Cena sized can of whoop ass to be opened on me than mess with Jack Parsons. Seriously, this dude was known to try and conjure forth various demonic entities for no other reason than to see if it wou...

In this episode, we discuss the possibility that alien visitation to our planet may have a more sinister, or even demonic purpose to it. Join us as we go on an intergalactic journey of epic proportion. First stop, planet earth, to meet the Collins Elite, an ultra-secret CIA organization whose name has an incredibly disappointing origin story. Next, we travel to space station Care Bear Share to meet up with our good buddy Desca of t...

In this episode, we discuss how the powers at be utilized Project Chameleo to wage the ultimate psy-op against an unsuspecting, already brain addled crack head named Dion. And in case you were drawn in by the episode title, yes, invisible midgets are in no short supply in this story. Ah the irony. In the words of your favorite infomercial, “but wait, there’s more!” From the unseen vertically challenged we venture into events that l...

In this episode, we discuss what is either heavy involvement in the Occult or severe eccentricity by the music industry’s elite. Heavy Occult involvement is a much juicier story though so let’s stick to that. Seriously though, why is ASAP Rocky seen performing a magic ritual inside a pentagram in his music video “Wassup”? There is even a magical grimoire and ceremonial dagger in the middle of the pentagram! And don’t even get me st...

In this episode, we discuss a fascinating treasure hunt that spans the length of nearly 2,000 years. Join us as we venture back in time to the Roman Empire and its ever-peaceful means of conquest. There is no chance whatsoever this episode contains mass annihilation of a people group, attempted robbery of an insurmountable treasure from said annihilated people group, and that particular people groups’ ruler getting brutally murdere...

In this episode, we discuss a myriad of fascinating stories relating to the Voodoo religion, practices, and real-life zombies. If smoking a foot long cigar and drinking a liter of rum with 2 pounds of hot peppers in it sounds like a good use of your Friday night, then you may want to look into converting to the Voodoo religion. Seriously, are they running a religion or a continuous frat party? Anyways, Imagine having a random tris ...
