Welcome to Two Guys, What’s Up?
Join Iain and Jordan every Monday as they explore the weird, the wonderful, and the downright unexplainable. From haunted houses to UFOs to the strangest corners of the internet, it’s part comedy, mostly chaos, and entirely questionable. Whether you’re a skeptic or a full-blown tinfoil-hat wearer, you’ll laugh, learn, and probably lose faith in reality.
Follow Two Guys, What’s Up? wherever you get your podcasts! Because normal’s overrated.

Welcome back! Today, we’re talking about people who like to do… not very much. But while the person that Iain tells us about was asleep, he use to do things like hand out cures and predict the future! It’s the story of Edgar Casey, aka the Sleeping Prophet! Was he really spouting sleep truths? Or was he just dream-speaking a load of nonsense? You decide!
And then Jordan gives us the internet’s most lazy people and their worst admissions. It’s a compilation of those who, I’m sure, also like to sleep, but did not do things like tell the future. They did things like break up with their partners because they couldn’t be bothered washing or texting daily. Quite the contrast! And it’s all coming up in today’s episode!

Today we’re finishing up in North Yorkshire, in the quaint village of Hutton-le-Hole. Don’t let the name fool you—this place may or may not have been home to tales of ghosts, UFOs, fairy tricks, and all manner of high strangeness. It’s a village where the weird and wonderful come out to play. And it’s just in time if you ask me. Happy Halloween! Have a spooky night, don’t let the aliens bite, and we’ll see you Monday.

Today we’re going back to old-timey Scotland for the bizarre case of the Glenluce Poltergeist. Stones thrown, food spoiled, it was a mug graveyard! And unseen hands tearing through a poor tailor’s home. Was this one of Britain’s earliest documented hauntings? Seems so.

Today’s Halloween countdown tale takes us to early 1800s Tennessee, where the Bell family was tormented by an invisible force that scratched, shouted, and swore it would kill the head of the household. This is the chilling legend of the Bell Witch.

Welcome back! One day closer to Halloween and another bite size bit of creepy. Today we’re heading to the small town of Van Meter, Iowa. For one terrifying week, townsfolk swore they were being stalked by a winged creature with a glowing horn on its head. Was it a monster? If not, what exactly did they shoot at!?

Hello! While you may be shocked to see a second upload today, fear not—it was intentional! For the next five days we’ll be bringing you a new spooky tale, each from a different corner of the paranormal, to get you in the mood for Halloween.
In today’s bite-sized Halloween episode, we’re talking about one of the most famous alien abduction stories of all time—the case of Travis Walton. Back in 1975, he vanished in Arizona for five days after a supposed close encounter with a UFO. But was it a genuine abduction? Or just a hoax that spiralled way out of hand? You decide! We’ll see you tomorrow for more spooks!
See you tomorrow.

Welcome! Today we’re going deep! (Take that however you please.) First Iain takes us through a history of Theosophy; from its beginnings, through its rise, and all the scandal that came with it.

Greetings, fellow Fifth Foot Race-rs! Today Iain brings us the tail of ANOTHER lost continent (I know, I know, it’s the last one, we swear!) but this time it’s the story of the egg-laying knowledge-seeders known as the Lemurians! The supposed ancient-er than Atlantis race that now hide out in mountains, waiting for us to ascend enough to give us all the answers we so sorely need.
Jordan then fills us in on some stories of when people (even people who were suppose to be smart) were so adamant they were right, but in reality they were WRONG! Like one guy who thought that we “completed” science - but it was just getting started!

Today we’re covering a classic! But not in the way you’re expecting. Atlantis! Was there really an advanced landmass that sunk beneath the waves, damned by gods for its arrogance and greed? Or was it just Plato’s very fancy way of saying “don’t be a git”? For centuries people have been trying to prove it was real and everyone’s convinced they’ve cracked it. So grab your snorkel and your scepticism, because we’re swimming into one of the deepest mysteries on Earth.
Jordan then does what he does best - makes Iain look stupid. And today, he’s doing it in the form of a quiz! But not just any quiz, it’s a ten-question bonanza, all starting with the simple question: “What came first?” From cookies to crosswords, we guarantee you’ve never heard these before. So play along, shout at your phone, and make sure you let us know how you did against the mediocre brain of Iain.

Here on this podcast, we’ve said it before, and today we’re saying it again: sometimes people go missing. This time, we’re looking specifically at the unfortunate people who’ve been unlucky enough to experience the Missing 411 phenomenon! From those who disappeared and returned with strange stories, to those who vanished and never came back.
And then Jordan brings us a list of people who got so angry that their brains just stopped working, leading them to blurt out the daftest sentences, completely defusing the situation and making themselves look just a little bit silly in the process.

Well, summer is sadly officially over - but that doesn’t mean the party has to stop! Here at TGWU headquarters, we believe the party should never end so to help us ease into autumn, we’ve re-invited our pal James, host of The Fortean News Podcast, to bring us some creepiness, both local and personal! But that’s not all; Iain has a selection of cursed objects for us to sink our teeth into, and Jordan rounds things off with a paranormal quiz for James (and Iain) called “Paranormal or Poppycock?”. So put your knowledge to the test against him, and let us know your score before you also check out James’ show. Here’s to a spooky autumn!
Get your tickets here to come see our VERY FIRST LIVE SHOW as we get to chat so some of the most prominent names in the local paranormal field.

This week we’re tackling one of the internet’s favourite mysteries. Is Elvis Presley still alive? Did he really NOT die in 1977, but instead hang up the jumpsuit, grab a Bible, and re-emerge as Pastor Bob Joyce? The evidence is… interesting, but we’ll let you make up your own suspicious mind.
Meanwhile, Jordan brings us a much more serious investigation—into the absolute art form that is the internet’s best typos. From accidentally calling friends horrible names to sentences that sound like they were written by a confused fridge, we’ll be celebrating the keyboard clangers that made internet history.
So whether you’re wondering if Elvis is hiding in the choir stalls, or just after some catastrophic spelling, we’ve got you covered. One part conspiracy, one part comedy of errors, all parts nonsense.

Hello! What a glorious day to see you! Today, Iain kicks us off with a good old-fashioned alien contactee story packed with love, confusion, and all the alien trickery you’d expect from the buggers. Then Jordan brings us a round of mistranslated gems; on the menu today? Well… menus! All those delicious items that have been hilariously butchered with English translation errors. It’s the kind where you’d order some food just to find out what on Earth it is you’d get! And when you do, let us know, will ya? Bone apple teeth!

Welcome, welcome! Whether you’re here for the first time, the 139th time, or somewhere in between, this week you’ve got yourself a good one. Today’s episode is stacked! We clear up a few things we’ve talked about before, and we’ve got an interview with a very special guest you’ll definitely want to stick around for.
First up, Iain’s bringing us a story of a so-called “monster” that stalked the streets of 18th-century London. Was it a creature of nightmares… or just a truly horrible human? Either way, it was a horrible time and women lived in fear!
Then Jordan’s back on peak Jordan form with some brilliantly mistranslated signs. If you remember “various and confused pizzas,” this is part two, only bigger, better, and even crazier. (And yes, the pictures are up on YouTube and Spotify if you’re listening there.)
And to round things off—we’ve got a list. But not just any list. A while ago Jordan asked Iain to get a certain someone to write a little bit on the little things their partner does that drive them mad. There is a list! but instead of us reading it out, that certain someone has stepped out of the shadows to deliver it themselves directly to Iain’s face.
It’s a packed one today, folks!

This week we’re diving into two kinds of monsters; one that (apparently) stalked a North London cemetery, and another that lurks in the fine print of every program you’ve ever absent-mindedly clicked “I agree” on in order to use it.
First, Iain takes us deep into the eerie legend of the Highgate Vampire: sightings, séances, duelling occultists, and a media frenzy that turned a graveyard into ground zero for Britain’s creepiest supernatural soap opera! Then Jordan shines some light on some of the weirdest, funniest, and downright sinister things hidden in common user agreements. From clauses about souls to surreal rules no one noticed before, clicking just to get to your juicy new piece of software. Vampires, contracts, and questionable decisions? Sounds about right.

Welcome to a special episode of TGWU! It’s the middle of summer and we’re all feeling the heat, so grab a cocktail and sit back as we take a break from the paranormal and internet oddities, to invite regular-guest Paul (Moonback) on the show for a game of “Would You Rather?”
Full of laughs, revelations, and a damn good time had by all!

Welcome back! It’s Monday and we’ve got the goods! Iain kicks us off with some (reportedly) true stories of the technology we use every day, recording evidence that we’re not alone in this world! From alien abductions, Alexa recording things, and smart watches - they record it tall!
And then Jordan reminds us that the paranormal isn’t the only thing we need to worry about, as he gives us a list of things that people have said they still can’t do but feel like they should be able to! Like…
“I’m 37, can’t make my wife smile” - Iain.

This week, Iain takes us deep into the shadowy streets of old Toronto to uncover the story of the Cabbagetown Monster! A bizarre figure said to have inhabited the sewers in the 1970s. Was it a misidentified cryptid; a trickster spirit; or something a little more ordinary?
Then Jordan shifts tones, but keeps the chaos, with a collection of things that people do to their partners to purposefully infuriate them! Including a fair few of our own revelations, that means we’re not the perfect husbands we thought we were.
Oh, and watch out for those pesky ads!

This week, Iain tells us about the story of Jerry Wills! The man who claims to have been healed by alien beings (or something similar, but let’s be real - it’s definitely aliens) and guided by intuitive downloads, along with a little bit on of onboard power, to heal the sick! We discuss his strangest claims, the stories of miraculous recoveries, and ask the big question - is Derren Brown an alien?
Then it’s over to Jordan, who, in light of his wedding aniversary! (Happy anniversary, Jordan 👏 ) brings us something a little more earthbound but no less bizarre: a chaotic list of the most unhinged things wedding guests have ever witnessed. From a lack of furniture, to a story from his very own wedding! Nobody’s walking down the aisle unscathed today - but don’t worry, the healing is at 5pm in the marquee. Then cake.
