I originally intended "Somehow Not a Blue Öyster Cult Song"to be a one-off tag and yet I can't think of a better one to suggest for this episode...

[Mr. Hunky Academia]

I still don't know who the Paa-Tal are

I was just listening to episode 266: For No One's Consideration, and one of the scripts was about Ashtar and starseeds. The F Plus Singularity draws ever closer.

are you sure this isn't actually la mulana fanfiction

[A Meat]

c'mon it's refrigeroids and not psychroids? that's a much cooler name

[Macho Masc Sangy Savage]

Surprised we didn't hear about the planet made up of objectivist aliens, the Randroids

[Wrought]

Frankly i'm surprised there weren't any ghostbusters jokes when it was revealed there was an alien race known as the Akyroyds

[Dr. Buttplug]

Listening to this and catching up on the Freedom Radio hour of Garbage Day creates an interesting contrast. Some commonalities in cognitive dissonance and ignorance, and maybe also racism?

For anyone interested, I’m pretty sure the thing that unites these people that Boots was talking about is theosophy

why is there always weird hebrew shit with these ancient aliens people? the three high elf races are named after hebrew letters, why?

in any case, someone give me a crackpot who thinks that it's specifically old hungarian that the aliens spoke

[KendrickLobstar]

arguably this was one of the hardest episodes to keep straight, although we already knew there were Aykroyd-ians in the universe

Oh fuck me, Cone Heads was an Akyroid baby? Of course it fucking was, my childhood trauma all makes sense now.

Rough guess, part of it is people coming from a Judeo-christian worldview and not quite giving it up when they switched to New Agery, so in the back of their heads, they still think the Hebrew Bible is important, it's just missing information about the ancient aliens. Part of it is probably also that Hebrew is the oldest-sounding language that most Westerners would be able to pick up on, so if you need something to be Ancient, you give it a Biblical-sounding name. Part of it is also because a lot of ancient aliens stuff is just straight up trying to explain the Bible as if it's a Star Trek episode.

Holy shit. I haven't been able to finish this one yet because I felt like I was becoming schizophrenic through osmosis just listening to it.
