Yeah, that isn't an accident. Once you realize most of what we see is scripted and/or fake, it really helps you chill the fuck out. The matrix is finally falling. We aren't falling with it.

I Know I Sound Crazy Everyone Is You Pushed Out! Manifestation and the Law of AssumptionSend us a textHello and welcome back! Today is a more light hearted episode, as I think I'm speaking for all of us when I say I have Britney fatigue. Instead, I tell you some conspiracy theories that I don't believe for a change, I call out T Swift for some things that weren't handled well, we have a brief pop culture recap and a pop culture prediction, and then we get into my very favorite topic: manifestation. Some of ya'll need a pep talk. That's where I come in. Suspend your disbelief and g...

I Know I Sound Crazy Britney Spears: Part 1Send us a textThe long awaited episode on 90's princess and dancing queen, Ms. Britney Jean Spears. I'm not going to waste your time covering topics that are discussed in the documentaries and tv specials made about her. You already know about her parents and her sister. You already know about her conservatorship. All I'm interested in talking about is the same thing I've been talking incessantly about for the last two years: Britney isn't free. Support the show

I Know I Sound Crazy Princess Diana: Part 2Send us a textWe pick up back at the hospital in August 1997, where Diana is declared dead around 4 am. Immediately, the decisions made surrounding her death don't make any sense. Why was evidence destroyed? Why were the doctors who embalmed her body without proper documentation not held accountable? Why does no one ever talk about the survivor of the crash? I also briefly touch on Stranger Things going full blown horror genre, Pete Davidson and Kim K being a (likely) PR couple, and HAYLEY KIYOKO AND BECCA TILLEY BEING A COUPLE. Also, Dianna Agron c...

They died in August of 1997 when their car collided with the 13th pillar in the Alma Tunnel in Paris. 25 years later, there are still no answers and little explanation for their deaths. The more you dig, the more suspicious the circumstances become. This is part 1, and the evidence only becomes more compelling.In this episode, I also inform you that 1989 is likely next and will have some vault songs about Karlie, we get...

I Know I Sound Crazy Bad Christians ft Nicole JoynerSend us a textIn an episode which I'm certain is going to land me at the center of a prayer chain for my salvation, my friend Nicole and I spend an hour and a half poking holes in fundamental Christian beliefs, specifically those that are found in the first couple chapters of the Old Testament. It leaves Nicole and I wondering if the Bible is talking about two different gods, which is arguably my biggest conspiracy yet. How can the Creator be so kind and loving in the New Testament, but so cruel and hateful in t...

I Know I Sound Crazy Liberty University Scandal: Part 3 - ft Jacob StreetSend us a textThe long awaited final chapter of the Liberty University scandal is here. Jacob is back for the last installment of the series, where we talk about growing up devout Christians, being told as literal children that we need to be willing to die for our faith, and an overwhelming feeling of guilt that seems to always transcend the whole point of the Gospel. We also get vulnerable about the church's views on being LGBTQ, and all the religious trauma that comes along with it. We finally hear about the North Greenville University scandal...

I close some gaps in the messy timeline, and tell how the affair that was meant to stay a secret forever became a huge scandal over night. Jacob and I focus on a lot of the inconsistencies and...

We then dive into how Liberty University got caught up in a scandal that the Christian community seems to have brushed under the rug. What are they hiding? Where is accountability? And more importantly, who do we believe now? Sit back and listen to me and Jacob dive into the wo...

But if you look it up, every mainstream outlet will try to tell you that's incorrect, and your thoughts do not have the power to create. If that's true, why did the elite of the world pull a book about this very subject off the market? Is this the best kept secret in the world, and it’s just been hidden from us for centuries?
