Join hosts Brett & Chuck as they crack open Blue Moon Belgian wheat beers and dive headfirst into some of the most persistent conspiracy theories plaguing the internet.

From moon landing skeptics to flat earth believers, the guys tackle the evidence (or lack thereof) behind these wild claims with their trademark blend of skepticism and humor.

• Moon Landing Hoax: Why do people still think it was filmed on a movie set? The hosts examine the "evidence" from waving flags to missing stars, plus the compelling counter-arguments involving retro-reflectors and Soviet tracking.

• JFK Assassination: The never-ending mystery that spawned countless theories about government cover-ups, multiple shooters, and mysterious body handling.

• Flat Earth vs. Hollow Earth: Two competing theories that can't both be right. Chuck jokes about ice walls maintaining the oceans while Brett questions the physics of it all.

• The Illuminati: Chuck claims his recent induction (complete with Denver International Airport headquarters) while discussing whether secret societies of wealthy elites really control world governments.

• Bigfoot/Sasquatch: Why do similar cryptid descriptions appear across cultures worldwide, yet we've never found bones, DNA, or clear footage?

• Modern Conspiracies: From 5G causing COVID-19 to living in the Matrix, plus some truly bizarre ones like Finland not existing.

• Area 51 & UFOs: What's really happening at the classified site, and why did only 10 people show up to "Storm Area 51"?

• Celebrity Death Hoaxes: Paul McCartney died in 1966? Avril Lavigne was replaced? The hosts explore why these theories persist.

Blue Moon Belgian White - 5.4% ABVThe hosts rate this accessible wheat beer while discussing how it's evolved from craft to mainstream. Chuck gives it a 4/5 for its smooth, easy-drinking qualities.

• Chuck's deadpan delivery about his Illuminati membership
• Discussion of Disney's underground tunnel system (which actually exists)

• Brett's challenge to flat earthers and hollow earthers to debate on the show
• The revelation that multiple countries worldwide have similar Bigfoot-like creature legends

Classic "Are You Shitting Me?" style - the hosts approach these theories with healthy skepticism while acknowledging what makes them compelling to believers. They're not dismissive of people who hold these beliefs, but they do point out logical flaws and demand evidence. The conversation flows naturally between topics with plenty of tangents and personal anecdotes.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy debunking pseudoscience with a side of craft beer and good humor.
