This episode contains strong themes and may not be suitable for younger listeners.

Gavin discusses his research on The 27 Club, a conspiracy theory that connects the deaths of dozens of young popular musicians, artists, actors, and athletes who have died at age 27, often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or violent means such as homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents. Definitely our darkest episode yet. (Hint: You should probably listen to this episode during the daytime.)
