J6 has been covered in many ways, but we decided for this episode, we would compile 6 character profiles of J6 attendees that you've probably never heard of, and try and draw some thru-lines between the accounts. Six January stories. Some whacky, some serious, but after 2yrs since the assault on the capitol, we're still left wondering...WTF happened? Um...Enjoy?

Back in 1991, a chain letter sparked a Kentucky Fried Conspiracy theory that persists to this day. GMOs are pretty cool, but turns out 6-winged 4-legged mutant chickens aren't a thing. Who'd have thought!? Also, Colonel Sanders was weird...
