What if the story of America's "discovery" isn't what we were taught in school? Before Columbus dives into the myths, conspiracies, and hidden histories surrounding the so-called Age of Discovery.

...white. This week we cracked open our DNA test results to see what mysteries our ancestry might hold… and spoiler alert: absolutely none. We're about as shockingly white as you can get.

Stay tuned for future episodes where we'll dive deeper into those deities and what they meant to our ancestors.

n this episode, we explore the power of knowing where we come from and how reconnecting with our ancestral roots can shape our sense of belonging. We share our personal journeys of taking DNA ancestry tests to uncover the lands and cultures our ancestors called home, and we dive into the idea that modern disconnection—especially in America—stems from being a nation of immigrants whose DNA and spirit may not fully resonate with this soil. Together, we discuss how honoring and understanding our lineage can help us heal, ground ourselves, and rediscover a deeper connection to the world around us.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into a viral buzz list article that rounded up some of the most believable conspiracy theories out there—or at least, the most fun to debate. From the mysterious fall of cursive handwriting to what the government might be hiding in our oceans, we break down each theory with a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and just a dash of paranoia. We're also talking aliens (of course) and revisiting the ever-persistent moon landing controversy. Are these theories total fiction or is there something more going on beneath the surface? Tune in and decide for yourself.
