The year is 1692. In a small, snowbound Puritan settlement on the edge of the Massachusetts wilderness, two young girls begin convulsing, screaming, and claiming to see dark spirits. Within weeks, their strange afflictions ignite the most infamous witch hunt in American history. In this first chapter of The Salem Witch Trials, the boys unravel the eerie beginnings of the hysteria that consumed Salem Village.

It starts inside Reverend Samuel Parris’s home, where his daughter Betty and niece Abigail writhe and shriek as neighbors whisper that the Devil himself has entered the village. When a local folk remedy—a “witch cake” baked with the girls’ urine—is fed to a dog in secret, it backfires spectacularly, pointing suspicion toward Parris’s enslaved servant, Tituba. Dragged before magistrates, Tituba confesses under pressure and spins a vivid tale of the Devil’s book, spectral animals, and a coven hidden among them. Her confession doesn’t calm the town—it detonates it.

From there, the accusations multiply. Respectable churchgoers like Martha Corey and beloved grandmother Rebecca Nurse are suddenly named as witches. Even a four-year-old child is chained in irons. Villagers who once shared pews now turn on each other in panic. By spring, fear and superstition rule Salem.

The boys dive deep into the dark psychology of the era—how religious zeal, personal grudges, and brutal living conditions created the perfect storm for mass hysteria. They explore the bizarre early investigations, the use of “spectral evidence,” and the tragic logic that if a witch could look innocent, it was only because the Devil made her so.

This episode sets the stage for the horrifying trials to come—the hangings, the confessions, and the infamous pressing of Giles Corey. But before the gallows rise, Part One reveals how one cold New England winter and a few terrified children tore a community apart.

Part Two will take listeners to the courtroom and the gallows, exposing the gruesome outcomes—and the haunting question that still lingers: what truly possessed Salem in 1692?

In 2018, a New York Times reporter toured a glitter factory in New Jersey and asked what seemed like a harmless question: “Who buys the most glitter?” The answer was anything but ordinary. The Glitterex manager refused to say. Not because they didn’t know — but because, in their words, “they don’t want anyone to know it’s glitter.” And with that, the internet lost its collective mind.

In this episode, the boys peel back the shimmering layers of what quickly became one of the strangest modern conspiracy theories: the hunt for the secret glitter buyer. Reddit exploded. TikTok sleuths drew diagrams. Theories ranged from toothpaste companies and luxury automakers to the U.S. military, currency printers, and even God himself. The clues were cryptic: you’d “see something,” but never recognize it as glitter. So… was it hiding in your dollar bill? Your kid’s vitamins? A classified aircraft?

We explore every angle of this real-world mystery — including the 2019 podcast (Endless Thread) that claimed to solve it, naming the marine paint industry as the main culprit. Boats, ships, and jet skis use enormous amounts of metallic pigment, and it turns out that glitter might be secretly keeping cruise liners shimmering in salty seas. But is that too obvious? Or just the answer they want us to believe?

We also break down the numbers: the global glitter industry is worth up to $1.49 billion, with biodegradable glitter surging past $500 million and expected to triple in the next decade. There are 20,000+ types of glitter, some so small they count as microplastics — which is exactly why the EU banned loose glitter in 2023. Meanwhile, edible glitter alone is a $551 million market, and glitter glue is closing in on half a billion itself.

This episode isn’t just about sparkle — it’s about secrecy, industry weirdness, and why we’re drawn to mysteries hiding in plain sight. So whether it’s a cover-up, a marketing ploy, or a perfectly polished coincidence, join us as we unravel the conspiracy… one shimmering clue at a time.

In one of the most shocking political assassinations in recent American history, conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk was gunned down during a Turning Point USA campus event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. In this episode, we take listeners deep into the facts, theories, and mysteries surrounding Kirk’s death — not just the headlines, but the moments before, the chaos after, and the strange, unanswered questions that still linger.

We open with a bit of tribute to Charlie Kirk — the man, the movement, and the mission he devoted his life to. From launching Turning Point USA at just 18 years old to becoming a polarizing but influential voice on college campuses and across conservative media, Kirk built a career out of challenging the system and rallying the next generation. Love him or hate him, his voice changed the conversation — and that made him a target.

We then parallel the rise of Tyler James Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of pulling the trigger. Who was he? What do we really know about him? And what led to that rooftop above the UVU plaza on that specific day? The state claims Robinson fired a .30‑06 rifle into the neck of Kirk during a Q&A session, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. But not everything adds up.

We break down the wild early confusion — misidentified suspects, conflicting reports, doctored videos, and a firestorm of speculation across social media. What role did politics, ideology, or deeper motives play? Did Robinson act alone? Was he radicalized? Or was something bigger at play?

The episode explores every major theory: Was this a politically motivated hit? A false flag? Was Robinson set up? Was this part of a coordinated ideological attack? And what about the rumors of inscriptions on the bullets, or the alleged note left behind?

With exclusive clips, verified timelines, and a sober look at the public reaction, we separate fact from frenzy and ask the hard questions: Who really killed Charlie Kirk — and why?

This isn’t just a story about a bullet — it’s about culture, chaos, and what happens when the war of ideas turns deadly.

Warning: This episode contains mature political themes and disturbing real-world events. Listener discretion is advised.

The boys unravel the origin story of one of America’s most powerful dynasties — the Rockefellers. From humble beginnings in upstate New York, John D. Rockefeller’s rise from a disciplined teenager loaning out $50 at 7% interest to becoming the richest man in American history is both awe-inspiring and deeply controversial.

Starting with Rockefeller’s early years — a religious, frugal upbringing shaped by his con-artist father and devout mother — and follow his obsessive focus on efficiency and control as he dives headfirst into the oil refining game in Cleveland. By his early 30s, Rockefeller had turned the chaotic oil boom into a ruthless game of consolidation, vertical integration, and railroad manipulation. He built the Standard Oil empire brick by brick, buying out competitors during the infamous “Cleveland Massacre” and pioneering the first true industrial monopoly in U.S. history.

But Rockefeller’s influence didn’t stop at oil. In the second half of the episode, we pull back the curtain on one of the most chilling conspiracy claims tied to his legacy: the hostile takeover of American medicine. We explore how, through the Rockefeller Foundation and the infamous 1910 Flexner Report, Rockefeller helped discredit homeopathy, herbalism, and natural healing — clearing the way for a petrochemical-fueled pharmaceutical empire. Was this philanthropy? Or a calculated campaign to monopolize health the same way he had monopolized oil?

And what about the claim that Rockefeller’s empire merged with IG Farben, forming a global "Drug Trust" that shaped modern medicine, media, and even cancer treatment options in America? We trace how petrochemical byproducts went from industrial waste to everyday ointments, pills, and shampoos — and how the very industry meant to heal us may have been designed from the start to profit off of our sickness.

From dimes handed to children to dimes dropped into drug patents, this episode peels back the layers of the Rockefeller legacy. Innovator or villain? Savior or saboteur? It all depends on who writes the history — or who owns the printing press.

Ruby Ridge, in the summer of 1992, a remote mountaintop in northern Idaho became the battleground for one of the most explosive standoffs in American history.

This week, we take you deep into the story of Ruby Ridge — a case of government overreach, deadly miscommunication, and ideological extremism that changed the way Americans viewed law enforcement forever. It started with a man named Randy Weaver — a former Green Beret wannabe, white separatist, and survivalist who moved his family off-grid to escape what he believed was a collapsing society. But when he refused to become a federal informant, the ATF set a trap: two illegally sawed-off shotguns would snowball into an arrest warrant, a missed court date, and an 11-day siege that left a 14-year-old boy, his mother, and a U.S. Marshal dead.

We walk you through the moment-by-moment timeline: the surveillance missions, the fatal gunfight at “the Y,” the controversial FBI sniper rules of engagement, and the second shot that would shatter America’s faith in its own government — killing Vicki Weaver as she held her baby in her arms. We explore how the cabin became a fortress of grief and resolve, how negotiators like Bo Gritz broke through the silence, and how the aftermath shook Washington to its core.

But Ruby Ridge didn’t just end in 1992. It became fuel for the militia movement, a martyr tale for the far-right, and a conspiracy flashpoint that still echoes today. What really happened on that ridge? Who fired first? And why did the federal government quietly settle for millions afterward?

Join us as we untangle the real story of Ruby Ridge — a tragedy that lives on in court records, extremist manifestos, and a deeply divided American memory.

This month’s headlines are stranger than fiction — and the conspiracy-fueled chaos is only heating up.

The WNBA is under attack — not from critics, but from flying sex toys. Multiple games were interrupted as fans hurled brightly colored dildos onto the court, prompting outrage from players and coaches. A meme-coin group, "Green Dildo Coin," claimed responsibility for some of the stunts, allegedly to promote their launch. Arrests have been made, and the league has promised swift bans and legal action. But behind the absurdity lies a deeper issue — the ongoing disrespect and sexualization of women in sports.

President Trump’s silence over Labor Day sparked a viral death hoax that spiraled out of control. With no major appearances for six days, rumors of his failing health took over social media, amplified by images of swollen ankles and bruised hands. When Trump finally reappeared — smirking at a Fox News reporter’s joke about his “death” — the internet had already run wild. Is this just a case of online hysteria, or is something more being hidden?

Down in Georgia, a massive immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant led to 475 arrests — most of them Korean nationals. The operation is the largest workplace crackdown yet under the current Trump administration, with questions swirling around subcontractors and labor practices.

Also in the mix:

• Boxing shocker: Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is happening — two legends in one unbelievable exhibition match.

• Will Smith accused of using AI-generated crowds in his tour promo — glitchy fingers, warped faces, and the growing fear of deepfakes.

• Florida’s vaccine wars escalate as the Surgeon General calls to eliminate all mandates, sparking national backlash.

• And Epstein survivors take justice into their own hands, vowing to compile their own “client list” and demanding full transparency from Congress.

It’s a wild month — let’s get into it.

In the final chapter of our COVID-19 series, we turn to the questions, controversies, and conspiracies that defined the pandemic long after the first waves passed. If Part One was about origins and Part Two was about lockdowns, Part Three is about what came after—the battle over truth, trust, and who gets to control the narrative.

We explore how theories spread faster than the virus itself. Was COVID-19 born in a Wuhan wet market, or was it the result of a lab leak covered up by governments? Why did so many people believe hospitals were given financial incentives to diagnose patients with COVID? And how did debates over treatments like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine morph into political flashpoints rather than scientific discussions?

We’ll revisit the conspiracies that grabbed headlines: the “Great Reset,” which claimed global elites used the pandemic as a pretext to redesign society; the 5G theory, which linked cell towers to the virus’s spread; the myth of microchipped vaccines; and the belief that lockdowns were less about health and more about social control. Some of these theories dissolved under scrutiny, but others remain unsettled questions that continue to fuel public skepticism today.

And of course, we cannot ignore the human voices that amplified them. Joe Rogan, one of the world’s most influential podcasters, defended his use of ivermectin and confronted mainstream media coverage. Politicians clashed over mandates, sometimes while quietly benefiting from relief programs themselves. Meanwhile, protests erupted from Berlin to Melbourne as citizens pushed back against restrictions, vaccine rules, and what they saw as government overreach.

Beyond the conspiracies, we also ask what’s left in the aftermath. Did the erosion of trust in science and institutions do more lasting damage than the virus itself? How do we reconcile the very real success of vaccines and public health measures with the equally real anger, confusion, and misinformation that spread alongside them?

COVID-19 changed the world, but the stories we told about it—and the doubts we carried—may prove just as lasting. In this finale, we peel back the mask to confront not only the virus, but the fear, politics, and conspiracies that will forever shape how history remembers it.

In Part Two of our pandemic series, we move beyond the early origins of COVID-19 and dive into the extraordinary measures taken across the globe to stop its spread. Almost overnight, entire cities, countries, and continents fell silent. Streets emptied, planes stopped flying, and economies froze as governments imposed restrictions not seen in living memory. What began as a two-week pause stretched into months and, in some cases, years—transforming daily life in ways few could have imagined.

We explore the striking differences in how nations approached the crisis. China enforced some of the strictest lockdowns in history, welding apartment doors shut and tracking citizens with digital health codes. Meanwhile, Italy became the first Western country to shutter completely, with haunting images of military trucks carrying away the dead. In the United States, the approach varied by state: New York and California locked down hard, while others resisted, creating a patchwork of rules that fueled political battles as much as public health debates. Australia sealed itself off from the world, even banning its own citizens from returning home for a time, while Sweden pursued a controversial path of minimal restrictions, betting on herd immunity.

We’ll also look at the ripple effects. Businesses crumbled, unemployment soared, and mental health crises deepened under prolonged isolation. Schools went virtual, changing how a generation of children learned, while hospitals strained under the weight of rising cases.

Join us as we explore the controversial government pandemic playbook during the coronavirus of 2020 and beyond.

Welcome to the series on COVID-19. Pandemics have shaped our world more than we realize. Long before 2020, waves of disease had already changed the course of history, toppling empires, fueling superstition, and forcing societies to reinvent themselves. In this episode, we trace that story—from the dusty streets of ancient Athens to the silent cities of lockdown in our own century.

We start in 430 B.C., where the Plague of Athens raged during the Peloponnesian War, bringing chaos to one of the world’s great city-states. We move forward to the Roman Empire, where the Antonine Plague killed emperors and soldiers alike, weakening the empire’s hold on the known world. And then we come to the most infamous of all—the Black Death. In the mid-14th century, a microscopic invader erased nearly half of Europe’s population. People watched their neighbors die in days, families abandoned their own kin, and eerie figures in long leather coats and beaked masks stalked the streets, hoping the herbs stuffed into those grotesque “noses” would ward off the poisoned air. The image of the plague doctor became one of the most haunting symbols in history.

But pandemics didn’t just strike Europe. When Columbus crossed the Atlantic, he carried something deadlier than steel—smallpox and measles. Within a century, these Old World diseases wiped out up to 90% of Indigenous populations in the Americas. Entire civilizations, like the Aztecs and the Inca, fell as much to pathogens as to conquest. And in 1918, influenza killed tens of millions around the globe—claiming more lives than World War I itself—while cities struggled to dig enough graves for the dead.

All of these echoes lead us to the modern era. In late 2019, mysterious pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China, turned out to be the start of the biggest global event in living memory. Within weeks, COVID-19 swept the globe. Borders closed, cities locked down, hospitals overflowed. Entire nations were asked to stay inside while streets fell eerily silent. Conspiracy theories swirled—from whispers of a lab leak to wild claims about 5G towers and microchipped vaccines—while scientists worked around the clock to create vaccines at record speed. For the first time in history, billions of people were vaccinated within a year, an achievement as remarkable as it was divisive.

In this episode, we tell the story of pandemics past and present: the Black Death, the devastation of the Americas, the Spanish Flu, Bird Flu scares, and finally, the full arc of COVID-19—from its mysterious origins to its conspiracies, tragedies, and the ways it reshaped how we live. It’s a story of fear and resilience, ignorance and discovery, and ultimately, a reminder that pandemics are as much about people and power as they are about microbes.
