Is Garth Brooks secretly a serial killer… or is the internet just doing what it does best?

In this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we dive headfirst into one of the strangest internet conspiracies of all time: the Garth Brooks Serial Killer Theory. What started as a joke — fueled by comedian Tom Segura and some truly uncanny social media videos — has grown into full-blown internet lore complete with missing-person rumors, creepy country lyrics, and the infamous Chris Gaines era.

We break down where the conspiracy came from, why people find it so entertaining, and how circumstantial “evidence” like tour dates, ranch life, and Garth’s unsettlingly wholesome persona turned into a meme that refuses to die. Along the way, we separate fact from fiction, explain why there’s zero real evidence behind the theory, and explore how internet culture turns coincidence into mythology.

This episode is a satirical deep dive, blending comedy, true-crime parody, internet history, and country-music lore. No accusations, no claims — just laughs, analysis, and a look at how absurd conspiracies take on a life of their own.

🎵 Plus, we cap it all off with an original parody song inspired by the conspiracy itself.

Nothing in this episode should be taken as factual. This is satire and internet folklore — not an allegation of real-world crimes.
