Mar 2600:56:01Tap to summarizeMiami Aliens, Celebrity Clones & The Charlie Kirk Rabbit HoleHosts Bob Heske and Cuyle Carvin crack open three of the internet’s most unhinged conspiracy obsessions. It starts with the Miami mall chaos—what police called “teen fights and fireworks,” the internet quickly reframed as alien beings and 10‑foot shadow creatures stalking Bayside Marketplace.Then we dive into the wild world of celebrity clone rumors, from the long‑running Avril Lavigne “replacement” theory to claims that Jim Carrey isn’t the real Jim Carrey anymore.And because the internet never stops, we plunge into the bizarre conspiracies orbiting the murder of political commentator Charlie Kirk, where memes morph into “secret network” narratives overnight.The episode wraps with a bigger question: Why are we so hungry for disclosure? Bob and Cuyle explore the modern UFO zeitgeist—and Cuyle shares thoughts on the curious timing of Steven Spielberg’s upcoming alien‑themed film Disclosure Day, where he appears on screen.Buckle up and put on your tinfoil cap for a fast, edgy, curiosity‑spiking ride through the conspiracies people love, the truths they ignore, and the myths we can’t stop creating.WATCH ON YOUTUBEVISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBELike what you hear?
