*DISCLAIMER* Uncle BJ had audio issues during this episode, but it was too fun of an episode to re-record. Thanks for your understanding!

This week's episode, we wear our tinfoil hat and talk conspiracy. Specifically, we venture to Denver, CO and the famed Denver International Airport. Is it a home base for a secret society? A lair for lizard creatures? Is the giant blue horse demonic and coming to get you? Join your boys as we discuss conspiracy theories and many more.
