The Sneaky Knights Templar Have the Holy Grail!
Fake Believe: Conspiracies, Cults & Cryptids
11/04/21 • 96 min
Stacie and Rachel can't avoid some light blasphemy as they cover the mystery and history of the Knights Templar. Stacie shares how this powerful military order came to be, their weird habits, and their ultimate demise, then Rachel takes over to figure out how they got all that power in the first place.
The answer might surprise you.
(But it shouldn't. It is in the title. It is because of the Holy Grail.)

10/07/21 • 101 min
Join us for another episode of Fake Believe where Buzz Aldrin does NOT make a special guest appearance. Even without Buzz, Stacie manages to discuss planetary science in a way only she can, including unironically using the word "flugelrad," as she explains how we know for certain the Earth is hollow! Then after a brilliant segue, Rachel takes over to explain the theories of what the moon is, since we know it's not real.

Both Stacie AND El Chupacabra appeared on the scene in 1995. Coincidence? She is suspiciously knowledgeable about this particular cryptid... Rachel knew next to nothing about the Pacific Northwest's beloved Jake the Alligator Man but after some sleuthing was able to piece together a 1000% credible origin story.
