Is the Denver Airport really a hotbed or Reptilians, the NWO, the Illuminati, and more?  Or, is it simply a creative design conceived by  minds that lean towards the eccentric and slightly diabolical?  Let's talk a verbal walk through the halls and the history and see what conclusions we can draw.

At the end of May, the LCSPA (League Championship Series Players’ Association) overwhelmingly voted to walk out on the eve of Summer Split for the LCS. While this may not mean much to the regular viewer, fans of League of Legends eSports knew one thing: this was something unprecedented not only in League of Legends, but eSports worldwide. We talk about what the Players’ Association demanded from Riot and its Orgs, and how this can change the landscape of competitive gaming in the future.

*This episode was recorded prior to Riot and LCSPA reaching an agreement on resuming play for Summer Split. If you’d like to read more about what was agreed upon, check it out here

With all the deep dives we’ve been doing, it’s time to relax and start to enjoy the summer months—which means Con season is upon us!

Check out some of these cool (and weird) conventions happening in in the Southeast!

Between 1909 to 1914 (and possibly longer), service women and young girls were heinously murdered in the Fourth Ward area of Atlanta by man dubbed “The Atlanta Ripper.” Rumors still remain about whether there was a single murderer or copycat murderers who took up the mantle, but one thing is for certain: no one was ever truly caught and convicted of the series of killings. Join us as we travel back to a history lost within our own city and discover the travesties that occurred during those years.

In our second venture on the Ark of the Covenant, we discuss the possible locations of the Ark. The Bible has given us hints of where it could possibly be located, and there are those who continue to seek it out. Does an African tribe house it in Ethiopia? Did God pull a take-backsies? So many questions remain unanswered- what are your thoughts?

Valentine's Day 1945 74 year old Charles Walton is murdered on his way to the fields. Carrying a slash hook, a pitchfork, and a slice of fruitcake, Charles is brutally impaled with the pitchfork and his throat is slashed with the hook. Rumors abound that a crucifix has been etched into his chest. Was he the offspring of a line of murdered witches, a worker calling out his boss on unfair wages, or, as we discuss in detail, was he murdered by a graceless cow?

Was it based on fact or fiction? In the 1940s, the US sent operatives to explore Antarctica as a possible new base for America. Years later, Admiral Byrd’s journal was discovered. What his logs entailed could be described as a sci-fi or fantasy novel. Could Admiral Byrd seen something in the South Pole? Did the US cover up the possibility of hollow earth? Or was this a fictionalized account that has captivated conspiracy theories? Listen to the logs and decide for yourself!

On the 25th anniversary of her death, many still question the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Was it a tragic car accident caused by the paparazzi?
