910 - The Phantom Patriot ft. Tea Krulos

We explore the strange, wild, and tragic story of Richard McCaslin, a passionate - and troubled - conspiracy theorist. Tea Krulos joins us as we discuss McCaslin’s time as a “Real Life Super Hero,” his attempted raid on “Bohemian Grove,” the conspiracies that fueled him, and their relation to modern day conspiracies such as QAnon and the subsequent attack on the US capitol on January 6th of 2021.

Tea’s new book, American Madness, was a huge part of this episode. We highly recommend you check it out (along with many of his other books and articles), here!

You can find McCaslin’s videos here

908 - Movies: "As Seen in Movies"

Can you shoot a gas tank to cause an explosion? Is snapping necks as easy as it looks? When in a heroic bomb disarming situation, do you cut the red or the blue wire?

906 - The Vaccine

As of November 20th 2020, Pfizer has officially applied for EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) from the FDA, with Moderna most likely not far behind, meaning vaccine distribution is (hopefully) right around the corner. In order to help combat misinformation, as well as provide a handy resource for your own discussions, we have created a brand new website dedicated to better understanding what the Covid-19 vaccines are, how they work, and their efficacy (https://covidvaxinfo.com). Ryan also details his experience after going through the Pfizer vaccine trial! So sit back, relax, and come get vaccinated with Rumor Flies!
