  • Pat Tillman

    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.

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!
