Kill The Computer

Today's episode is a rundown of the "Gaylor" theory, which posits that Taylor Swift is secretly either gay or bisexual, and has been leaving breadcrumbs through song lyrics and social media posts for years. To help us sus this out, we brought on Travis View of the QAA podcast, as this and QAnon share many similarities.
