Two law school buddies discuss the believability of conspiracy theories ranging from aliens to Tupac.
Dr. Salvatore Pais, a renowned aerospace engineer, has gained significant attention for his groundbreaking inventions that blur the lines between science fiction and reality.

They hint at advanced propulsion systems, anti-gravity devices, and even the possibility of bending space-time.
As we delve into the details of these patents, we'll discuss their potential implications for the future of aerospace technology. Are these inventions the key to unlocking interstellar travel or advanced military capabilities? Could they be connected to reported sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) that have baffled experts for decades?

In this episode, we explore the controversies surrounding the death of Pat Tillman. After leaving his NFL career, Tillman enlisted in the U.S. Army after the 9/11 attacks, only to be killed in Afghanistan in 2004. However, conspiracy theories suggest that his death wasn't accidental.
Various conspiracy theories suggest that the U.S. military and government were involved in a cover-up regarding Tillman's death. Some speculate that friendly fire was intentional because Tillman was growing disillusioned with the war, while others believe that he was assassinated for his plans to speak out against the war.
We dive into the details of these conspiracy theories and examine the evidence and motivations behind them. We also discuss the impact of Tillman's death on his family and the public perception of the war in Afghanistan.

Sulfur. Ozone. Rotting meat. These are some of the smells associated with aliens, spirits, and Bigfoot. Although it’s not talked about often, witnesses to the paranormal often report very distinct smells. Because the olfactory sense can trigger memories and experiences in ways different from vision, hearing, touch or taste…in a way, it almost makes their accounts more believable. Come along this week as the boys do their best to describe the smells of the paranormal in (you guessed it) an audio format!

Tim and Zach explore who could be behind these intricate designs.
Twins are often said to have a special connection, one that goes beyond the usual sibling bond. Some people believe that twins can even communicate telepathically, sharing thoughts and feelings without speaking.
Decades of scientific research on twins have yielded a vast array of possibilities, including the idea that twins may share a telepathic connection. Some notable studies have suggested that identical twins are more likely to experience having the same thoughts or feelings at the same time. Other studies have found that identical twins are better at guessing each other's answers to questions than fraternal twins. However, other studies have found no correlation between twins and parapsychological abilities.
The results of twin research are still being debated, and more research is needed to determine whether or not twins do share a telepathic connection. However, the research that has been done so far suggests that there is something unique about the twin bond that deserves further study. Regardless of what scientists think, this stuff is absolutely fascinating!

N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a Schedule I hallucinogenic drug that occurs naturally in some plants but also in the human brian. The effects of DMT are varied but often leads to experiences where the user believes himself to be in an alternate reality, often described as more real than normal reality. And while each person’s experience is unique, what is perhaps the most surprising of all are people’s accounts of meeting and talking to sentient beings who impart wisdom, and sometimes predict future events. Is this something that exists entirely inside the mind or is DMT a gateway to a different reality? And is there any correlation to the similarities between DMT experiences and Near Death Experiences, the Faerie Realm, and the Alien Abduction Phenomenon?

The Shroud of Turin has long fascinated both historians and the religiously devout. It is purported to be THE garment that Jesus’ body was wrapped in after his crucifixion. What makes it so strikingly unique and altogether baffling is the image of a mad seemingly burned into the fabric of the cloth.
The first record we have of the Shroud of Turin comes from the middle ages, and even since its earliest known days controversy has followed in its wake. Some believe “whole cloth” the Shroud was touched (literally) by the hand of G-d. Others, being slightly more skeptical, believe this was the work of a talented trickster.
The Vatican, along with a group of curious scientists, decided to radiocarbon date it and put any confusion and mystery finally to rest. Your interpretation of what happened next is likely going to be a result of your faith and background. Needless to say, rather than removing the unknown, the church inadvertently made the mystery of the Shroud of Turin much larger than they ever expected. Tune in and let us know where and when you think the Shroud originated.

Twins are often said to have a special connection, one that goes beyond the usual sibling bond. Some people believe that twins can even communicate telepathically, sharing thoughts and feelings without speaking.
Decades of scientific research on twins have yielded a vast array of possibilities, including the idea that twins may share a telepathic connection. Some notable studies have suggested that identical twins are more likely to experience having the same thoughts or feelings at the same time. Other studies have found that identical twins are better at guessing each other's answers to questions than fraternal twins. However, other studies have found no correlation between twins and parapsychological abilities.
The results of twin research are still being debated, and more research is needed to determine whether or not twins do share a telepathic connection. However, the research that has been done so far suggests that there is something unique about the twin bond that deserves further study. Regardless of what scientists think, this stuff is absolutely fascinating!

Ouija boards are a type of board game typically used as a tool for communicating with the spirit world. The board itself is usually a flat board with letters of the alphabet, numbers, and other symbols printed on it, along with a planchette, which is a heart-shaped or triangular device with a small window in the center. The players place their fingers on the planchette, which then moves around the board to spell out words, phrases, or answer yes-or-no questions.
While many people believe that Ouija boards can be used to communicate with spirits, some people use them as a form of divination or to contact deceased loved ones.

Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus, was a 16th-century French physician and astrologer. He is widely famous for his book "Les Prophéties," which consists of a collection of 942 quatrains (four-line poems) that are said to predict future events. Although many of Nostradamus' predictions are open to interpretation, some have been linked to significant events in history, such as the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, and the 9/11 attacks.
Nostradamus was born in 1503 in the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southern France. He received a medical degree from the University of Montpellier and later became a physician, treating patients during outbreaks of the bubonic plague. In addition to his medical work, Nostradamus was known for his interest in astrology and the occult, which led him to create his predictions for the future.
Despite the mystique surrounding Nostradamus and his prophecies, many of his predictions are vague and lack specificity, leading to multiple interpretations. Some believe that Nostradamus had a gift for seeing into the future, while others view his predictions as nothing more than clever wordplay and superstition. Regardless of one's beliefs, Nostradamus continues to be a topic of fascination and discussion hundreds of years after his death.

Japan’s daring sneak attack in the early hours of December 7th, 1941 on Pearl Harbor led to the deaths of 2403 Americans and over 1000 wounded. The size, scope, and shock of it all catapulted the United States into World War II and forever changed the course of the world. One major question remains unanswered: did President Rooselvelt know the attack was coming and did he let it happen? This conspiracy theory has been debated by politicians and historians since before the fires were even extinguished. Many people say that FDR was looking for a reason to get involved in the war, and this might have been an opportunity too good for him to pass up.

The Rendlesham Forest UFO incident is largely considered to be one of the most documented and observed UFO sightings in history.

N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a Schedule I hallucinogenic drug that occurs naturally in some plants but also in the human brian. The effects of DMT are varied but often leads to experiences where the user believes himself to be in an alternate reality, often described as more real than normal reality. And while each person’s experience is unique, what is perhaps the most surprising of all are people’s accounts of meeting and talking to sentient beings who impart wisdom, and sometimes predict future events. Is this something that exists entirely inside the mind or is DMT a gateway to a different reality? And is there any correlation to the similarities between DMT experiences and Near Death Experiences, the Faerie Realm, and the Alien Abduction Phenomenon?

Back in the late 90s and early 2000 there was a man on the internet who claimed to be from the future. That's not the weird part. The weird part is he knew things he probably shouldn't have known. So the question is, was John Titor from the future or was this a really good hoax?

This week Zach and Tim go down to the crossroads and sell their souls for podcasting success. Luckily they're both older than 27, but you never know when the devil will come to collect what he's owed. This was one of the most fun episodes we've ever recorded because (of course) we talked about the 27 club and some conspiracies around a few suspicious deaths, but we also got to talk about music. Lots and lots of music. Allegedly.

What color is the sky? What color is the sea? Is a Blue Bird blue, or more of a “dark wine color”? Have you ever wondered why sheep are violet? How does this all tie into Aliens and UFOs? This episode came out of nowhere and could very well be one of my all time favorites. On the second half we got a new angle to the Tunguska Event, and a shout out to Crackpot’s new resident musician, @soul.bandit . Check her out when you get a chance!

Birds Aren't Real. They were all killed off and replaced by surveillance drones years ago. This is pretty much common knowledge at this point. However, Tim and Zach still look into the 'hows' and 'whys' of this whole CIA project and discuss the logistical nature of it all as well as the societal impacts it may have had. Oh yeah, we also dive deep into the psychology behind generational conspiracy tropes and why we find ourselves where we are. Sound fun? Well...it is.

This is your first follow up installment of the JFK conspiracies, and I think it's a pretty good one. We dive in this week and look at some of the suspicious deaths surrounding the JFK assassination. If there was a conspiracy to kill the president, it's likely that there was a group of people who killed those who knew too much. Tune in and let us know if you find these as believable as we do.
