Everybody listen! We don't have long. The black helicopters are circling and we may not get a chance to say this again. Bill has finally crossed the wrong people and we've got a lot of information to disseminate before they shut us down. This week we'll be talking about conspiracy theories, from grays to lizard men, from Q to the Philadelphia Experiment. We've got plenty to talk about and debunk, so tune in!
