  • Emily and Jason Morrow dive headfirst into the wild world of conspiracy theories! Armed with the top 10 conspiracy theories as posted in a Popular Mechanics article, they break down each one and rank them on their own very scientific scale, from “likely just a tall tale” to “maybe there’s something to this.” But this isn’t your typical deep-dive podcast—Emily and Jason keep it light, poking fun at each theory with a healthy dose of skepticism and humor. They also wonder: Why can’t we have fun with conspiracies anymore? Why does everyone seem so quick to take sides and kill the fun? Tune in for some laughs, some “what ifs,” and a refreshing reminder that not every theory needs to be a battle.
