Adam and writer/whiskey expert/Kentucky resident Zach Johnston discuss all of the wild and wonderful conspiracies that have emanated from the state of Kentucky. Does Mitch McConnell's health come up? Of course it does! As does the real story behind Cocaine Bear, the Burr Conspiracy, the weird influence of Christianity on Louisville coffee shops, the highly suspicious 2019 slaughter of a bunch of llamas, the Pope Lick Monster, and so very much more!

Part three of our very deep dive into the tragic and untimely death of Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone. This time around, the focus is on the Reagan-Bush-Cheney war machine and the extremely suspicious trail of politically fortuitous plane crashes it left in its wake.

Adam kicks off a new series highlighting the various conspiracies, myths, and legends tied to each of the 50 states. Or at least as many as we're able to get to. We've kinda been down this road before. We're kicking things off with the great state of Minnesota and guest co-host Andy Sell. He lives there! Topics include Old St. Anne's Pass, the Kensington Runestone, the death of Senator Paul Wellstone, scandalous tunnels under Uptown Minneapolis, absurdly overzealous Mall of America security operations, the collapse of the Metrodome roof, and so much more!
