In this episode, we’re strapping on the tinfoil hats for another deep dive into the world of conspiracy theories. Is Garth Brooks secretly a serial killer? What actually happened to that lady on the plane? And is there really a secret tunnel system lurking beneath the Denver Airport? Listen as we separate truth from internet chaos in our quest to figure out what’s real, what’s ridiculous, and what’s just algorithm-fueled delusion. Plus, we revisit the conspiracies we once believed to see if they still hold up after all these years.
