Those Conspiracy Guys is a history, comedy and true crime podcast from Ireland produced and presented by Gordon Rochford and the topics discussed are varied and wide-ranging; from the speculations on the out-there conspiracy theories like aliens, time travel, and ancient civilisations to researched discussions on the more grounded, historical and provable conspiracies like political and financial corruption, scientific chicanery and secret government agency shenanigans. In long-form group discussions; interviews with authors and experts; live stage shows and streams with an eager audience; and collaborations with other conspiracy creators; Gordo examines all the wildest notions and most unbelievable theories in the ever broadening genre of 'conspiracy'. From the high-concept topics like inter-dimensional lizard men, complicated assassination plots and potential future technologies like alternative simulated universes; to the much more tangible topics like discussing serial killers and mysterious true crime cases; exploring the history of religions and cult leaders; and historically profiling the lives and times of some of the most influential people to have lived, and died. Those Conspiracy Guys brings you on a light hearted and hilarious exploration of these fantastic stories through thoroughly researched and painstakingly contmeplated production; making it easy and fun for these sometimes heavy and complicated topics to be digested, with lashings of good old irreverend Irish craic from host Gordon Rochford and a cavalcade of hilarious comedians, committed creators and fabulously interesting guests.

10/31/21 • 415 min

DEEP DIVE

On this episode we discuss one of the most enduring and visceral myths in humanities history; dating from ancient civilisations; even mentioned in the bible and other ancient religious texts and recognised all the way up to many modern media masterpieces; the concept of the bloodsucking prince of the night still holds a strong sentiment in all our hearts so this time we are talking about Vampires.

From tales of forlorn lovers and rich aristocrats draining yearning wenches of their blood, to monsters exsanguinating all and sundry in remote villages and sleepy town in Eastern Europe the lore of the vampire mythos endures for centuries. It is most well known today by the foppish and romantically charged stories of teenage vampire heartthrobs but the Vampire is a deep rooted image of the dissuasion of common folk to give in to their animalistic urges and as a stark health warning designed to be preserved in the minds of men, protecting from disease and poison of the blood and bloodlines.

While Vampires seem wholly unbelievable in their dark magic roots, there are many tales of very real men who would behave as these monsters reputedly do. Serial Killers, Murderers, Madmen and Tyrant Kings, all carry the title of Vampire for their dark deeds and fascination with blood. From biblical tales like Lilith to real historical figures like Vlad the Impaler the vampire myth is deeply interwoven into our collective subconscious and often mixed in with a very tangible part of human nature not all of us are willing to admit we identify so closely with.

Those Conspiracy Guys - Nora Koppel - The Hinterkaifek Murders
play

03/31/22 • 127 min

On this episode I interview Nora Koppel, daughter of Hinterkaifek expert Adolf Koppel, all about the facts of the case as proven by the investigations of her father. Dolf wrote the book Lerchenstimme (The Lark's Song) and book in German about The Hinterkaifek Murders and he claims to have proof of what happened to the Gruber Family on those fateful days 100 years ago at Hinterkaifek.

Dolf recreated weapons, made moulds of wounds and combed through the 100 year old evidence to bring this case back to life and try to get it solved. We already went through the details of this case a while back; but this new set of information and the 100 year anniversary makes it a lovely revisit with Nora. We have the craic and I feel like a silly goose at times with my crazy guess work from the last episode; but with two books (one narrative and one evidence based) and a stage play coming up in June; this case is definitely getting a reinvigoration of interest. Be the first to know 'auf Englisch' what's really going on at Hinterkaifek.

Those Conspiracy Guys - The Mystery of The Pyramids

The Mystery of The Pyramids

Those Conspiracy Guys

play

03/18/22 • 332 min

On this episode we casually hold our hand over our brow as we inquisitively stare into the glare of the midday sun; searching for an ancient truth in a barren land and uncovering possibly the ultimate mysteries of our creation, our civilisation and the nature of our planet in this episode all about The Mystery of the Pyramids.

From the classic pyramid on the Giza plateau in Egypt to the buried pyramids under the lush undulating hills of Bosnia, the wide sprawling once thriving civilisations in deepest South American jungles or the diligently preserved and revered monasteries and holy structures in Asia; the pyramid has endured as a symbol of a time that came before and a way of life for humanity that has been forgotten.

These fantastic structures have withstood the test of time; of war, greed, and wanton destruction; only to leave behind a mystery that is almost unfathomable. The clues found in these wonders of the world, are the steps closer we desperately want to take in fully understand where we can from and what our purpose is. Clues like the sacred geometry found in the great pyramid of Khufu; or the ancient carvings on walls long left untouched by human hands.

These mega structures are found all over the globe and they hold great significance to our current age by communicating through the universal language of mathematics and showing us that a once presumed primitive people, were actually much more advanced than ever thought possible. With measurements that depict the astrological distances of the sun, moon and stars and even some other very complicated scientific concepts; these megalithic measurement markers are a definite proof of the existence of ancient civilisations much more advanced that we thought.

More mysterious still are the newly minted concepts of an even more ancient civilisation than the Egyptians, who created the pyramids and the thriving civilisations that built them. The Giza pyramids and The Sphinx showing signs of a much older creation date; mean that there is a hidden history of the human species and the power that these ancient people created is still present in our modern world.

Those Conspiracy Guys - The Murder of Mark Kilroy

The Murder of Mark Kilroy

Those Conspiracy Guys

play

12/13/21 • 250 min

On this episode we talk about one of the darkest and torture laden murders that has ever graced the mics at TCG Towers; this episode is the gory tale of a satanic drug dealing cults inhuman efforts to kidnap, torture, and then gruesomely murder American tourist Mark Kilroy. Dark, this one gets dark!

Mark Kilroy was a catholic student who went to Texas State and one Spring Break went to Brownsville with a small stop over the border in Matamoros. This was the last trip for Mark as he was snatched up by the gang of Adolfo Costanzo; a cult leader and dark religious practitioner. They performed sick and twisted rituals on Mark until his death and then led the authorities on chase which ended in a siege.

Crazy stuff in this one; and joining me on the morose but still somehow hilarious journey is comedian Stephen Bradley. Stephen is one of the founders of MOB Theatre Dublin and is a fantastic improviser, writer, comedian and lovely man. We do go off on a lot of pop culture tangents in this one; but you can choose to see it as a bit of levity to dilute the awfulness of the details of this story.

If you want to find Stephen and ply his wares you can find him on Instagram here: http://www.instagram.com/stephen_bradley66 or his theatre company here: http://www.instagram.com/mobtheatredublin and you can find out all about the classes and shows for MOB Theatre on their website http://www.mobtheatre.ie. Stephen also joined me for the Mystery of the Pyramids episode and I hope to see him as a recurring guest in future shows, so go show him some love!

Those Conspiracy Guys - Operation Mockingbird

Operation Mockingbird

Those Conspiracy Guys

play

09/01/22 • 357 min

On this episode we discuss the silent machine behind the worlds media; the clandestine manipulation of your reality and the obfuscation of the real world around us through the content we consume; the news we trust and the moulded attitudes of our friends and loved ones. An operation so grand in its complexity and execution that it is as easily identifiable as it is deniable; Operation Mockingbird

Post war propagandists and government manipulators took the forty years after World War Two and used it to lock down, up and coming student journalists and people of burgeoning influence in the media to disseminate and proliferate their political, ideological and materialistic agendas. The advent of the ubiquitous online media landscape in the past few decades and the explosion of online content creators; some with bigger followings than main stream media at this stage; were all targeted and swept up in this media manipulation machine.

We discuss this and lots more including the Hollywood agenda; social media fact checkers; The Church Committee and we try to reason why a government would try to do this to their own people and how the rest of the world took it on like it was cool!

Edwin Sammon and Emmet Quinn join me on this episode for fun and frolics and you can find them here:

Those Conspiracy Guys - The Siege at Ruby Ridge

The Siege at Ruby Ridge

Those Conspiracy Guys

play

04/20/19 • 132 min

TRUE CRIME -
On this episode we talk about a lesser known domestic terrorist incident involving the full might of the FBI coming down on a small cabin in the wilderness in Idaho; the Weaver family were ensnared in their mountain cabin in the summer of 1992 in what has become known as The Siege at Ruby Ridge.
Pegged as a white supremacist, Randy Weaver moved his family up into the wilderness of Idaho and decided to live a simpler life. His wife Vicky and son Sammy were killed in a shootout with the FBI after an undercover investigation into his involvement with a local white supremacist Neo nazi group resulted in Weaver selling a sawn off shotgun to an agent in disguise.
More than 400 agents set up base camp outside his humble home and snipers took shots at him and his family. Hostage negotiators were deployed to diffuse the situation but criticism came in hard for the FBI and their heavy handed tactics. We discuss what happened that day and the political implications it had; the presidents for incidents like Waco and Oklahoma City and the current presence of similar bad actors in the US today.
Joining me I have Eoin Hamilton and Dara Carroll from The Auld Triangle podcast

Those Conspiracy Guys - Chris Watts

Chris Watts

07/29/22 • 218 min

On this episode we discuss this horrible human being, Chris Watts, and his cowardly and brutal murder of his wife and two young kids with super-guest: comedy powerhouse and the undisputed heavy weight champion of the comedic arts Colin Geddis.

The discussions and opinions on this episode will definitely be controversial as we try to understand the motivations behind such a crime; we also look deeper into the famous documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door and discuss all the info that was conveniently left out of it.

This guy is a POS, no doubt; but the circumstances around this crime shocked so many because it was so surprising to all who knew the Watts Family. Underlying issues plagued this couple including money, toxic family ties and infidelity all played a part in this very very sad case.

Joining me for these excellent and thought provoking discussions is hilarious Northman Colin Geddis; who you may have heard about from his recent support slots with Kevin Hart here in Ireland! He also has a massive following here for not only his own comedy and the magnificent comedy club in Belfast "Lavery's", but for his podcast 'General Banter' which is available on Patreon too! I do give a fair amount of props in the show so Ill refrain from licking his arse any further on the episode description :)

So enjoy this show; and as we say on the 'dodgy' bits; I want to do a LiveStream very soon (next week) on these topics and lets get out and have a chat! Its been too long!

If you want to find Colin online you can get all the links here: https://linktr.ee/Colingeddis

On Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/generalbanterpodcast

On Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/colingeddis/

And he also has a UK and Ireland tour at the end of the year and the tickets are available here: https://www.colingeddis.com/buy-tickets on his website!

Those Conspiracy Guys - Robert Berchtold

Robert Berchtold

Those Conspiracy Guys

play

11/20/21 • 190 min

On this episode comedian Ailish McCarthy joins me to discuss the case made famous by the documentary 'Abducted in Plain Sight' and one of the most egregious cases of manipulation that you can find; the case of Robert Berchtold and Jan Broberg.

Infiltrating and then sexually intoxicating a whole family of Mormons called The Brobergs, Berchtold was able to wrestle away the control of their daughter Jan and end up co-habiting with the family as he continued his deep psychological control campaign.

Abducting Jan on multiple occasions and ultimately holding her hostage in Mexico until the FBI were involved should have been the end of him and his depraved mission; but the hooks were too deep however as The Brobergs became even more entwined in Berchtolds web of deceit, psychological authority and sexual control.

Its such a crazy story that to give more details here would ruin it a bit, so just dive in and enjoy!

Ailish is great craic on this episode and you can find her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/thesleepycomedian/ contrary to the handle she calls out in the episode! Its been changed since :) She also has a podcast called The Party T*ts and you can find that here https://youtube.com/channel/UC5T2_PYEFwy9nwTQCv8nv4Q or here https://www.ko-fi.com/ptpod or you can find her own comedy channel on Youtube here https://youtube.com/channel/UCOItbrUth4KRb-hAsUrj0Tw
