In this bourbon-laced breakdown of blue skies and bold lies, the RBM crew takes to the clouds to unravel one of the most persistent (and poorly debunked) conspiracy theories of our time: chemtrails.
Are we watching harmless condensation—or inhaling government-grade aerosol cocktails? Why does the sky look like a tic-tac-toe board drawn by a drunk wizard? These are the real questions.
From whistleblowers and weaponized weather to billionaire space Barbie flights with suspiciously flawless G-force hair, Chris, Joey, and David grab the whiskey, pop the tinfoil, and dig into the shady science of sky hacking.
What We’re Covering in This Episode:
☁️ Contrails vs Chemtrails – Vapor or venom? Why is the sky spicy?
🧪 Aluminum, Barium & WTF – Monsanto may already own your garden.
🌦️ Owning the Weather by 2025 – It's 2025. The forecast is sus.
🎥 CGI Spaceflights – Was that Katy Perry or a mannequin with Wi-Fi?
🇺🇸 Operation Popeye – Yes, the U.S. tried to drown people with rain.
🥶 Red-Tinted Night Vision – Vietnam pilots saw demons. Totally fine.
🚀 Rods from God – Kinetic space weapons or G.I. Joe fanfiction?
💨 Stratospheric Sass – John Brennan basically admitted it on stage.
🛢️ Barrel Planes – Why does this aircraft look like a Bud Light truck full of poison?
The RBM crew debates geoengineering, government fog machines, and the ethics of space-based sunblocking. Chris has a whistleblower. Joey has questions. David wants fewer clouds and more laser accountability.
Quote of the Episode:
"Just drop the bowling balls from the plane. At least make it fun."
Whether you’re Team Toxic Trails, Team Cloud Coincidence, or just here to laugh at space lasers and Katy Perry lawsuits, this one’s for the sky-curious and the chemically-concerned.

In this whiskey-fueled expedition into the unknown, we stomp into the thick woods of conspiracy to hunt for one of Earth’s most legendary—and controversial—cryptids: Bigfoot.
Is he a lost primate species, an alien scout, or just a meth head in a ghillie suit? From blurry VHS sightings to interdimensional portals, the RBM boys take off the flannel, put on their tinfoil hats, and go full Squatch mode. We dig into the footprints, shaky cams, suspicious hair samples, and the 10,000+ reports that somehow still haven’t convinced David or Joey that Bigfoot’s real. But Chris? Oh, he believes. And he brought charts.
What We’re Covering in This Episode:
🦶 Trail Cam Trauma – Why are all Bigfoot videos filmed on a toaster from 1996?
🌲 The Missing 411 – Thousands vanish in national forests… coincidence or Squatch snack time?
🧬 Hair Samples & Government Denials – From bears to “unknown primates,” what is science hiding?
👣 The Patterson-Gimlin Film – Legendary footage or a Halloween prank gone viral?
🛸 Alien Apes & Time Rifts – Is Bigfoot part of a cosmic glitch or the universe's biggest hide-and-seek champ?
🎥 Blurry Evidence – Why is Bigfoot always just out of focus? Maybe he is blurry.
🐔 Chicken Feed Crimes – A nine-foot ape broke into a barn and ate 50 lbs of chicken chow. Missouri is not okay.
💩 Bigfoot’s Junk – We ask the real questions: Does Bigfoot have a human dong or a red rocket?
The RBM crew debates blurry videos, lost hikers, and the existence of a dick-shy primate with superhuman senses. Joey calls out hoaxes. David wants real evidence. Chris brings the woo-woo and an unreasonable amount of confidence.
Quote of the Episode:
"If one of these 10,000 videos is real, I win. That’s Bigfoot math, baby."
Whether you’re Team Hoax, Team Hairy Homie, or just here for the chaos, this episode is for the curious, the skeptical, and the cryptid-obsessed.

In this whiskey-fueled episode, we dig deep—literally—into one of the most iconic and mysterious structures on Earth: the Great Pyramids of Giza. Were they tombs for pharaohs, ancient energy generators, or alien-built planetary stabilizers?
From mainstream theories to mind-bending fringe ideas, the RBM boys go full ancient mysteries mode. We break down the impossible math, granite blocks from 500 miles away, and the mind-blowing precision that even modern tools can’t replicate. Oh, and did we mention the new radar scan that may have just revealed massive spiral shafts leading to something buried 2,100 feet below the pyramids?
What We’re Covering in This Episode:
The team wrestles with wild theories, questions mainstream archaeology, and sips bourbon while launching into cosmic possibilities. David thinks the pyramids are darts. Joey wants to know where the gold caps went. Chris brings the Bigfoot energy and the facts.
Quote of the Episode:
"Eight-inch shafts, planetary anchors, and a Gila monster diet plan—this episode has it all."
Whether you're team alien, team ancient humans, or just here for the whiskey, this episode will make you rethink everything you learned in 6th grade history class.

Alien abductions: real, imagined, or something in between? In this mind-bending episode, we dive into two of the most famous UFO abduction cases—Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton—before Chris drops a personal bombshell: his own chilling, lifelong encounters with the unknown.

Then, Chris takes the mic, revealing eerie childhood memories, paralyzing nighttime episodes, and a haunting pattern spanning decades—complete with mysterious scars and unexplained flashes caught on camera.
What We’re Covering in This Episode:

The dust had barely settled, and America was already shifting into a new reality. In the final part of our 9/11 series, we break down what happened after the attacks—the cover-ups, the missing money, and the wars that changed the world forever.
The cleanup of Ground Zero was lightning-fast, but why? The steel was shipped off to China before forensic testing, Flight 93 debris was buried in a landfill, and $1 billion in World Trade Center gold just vanished. Then there's the 9/11 Commission, forced into existence by a group of widows and riddled with omissions—like the total absence of Building 7.
What We’re Covering in This Episode:
The official story has cracks, and we’re prying them wide open. No holds barred, whiskey in hand, and deep in the conspiracy rabbit hole.
Listen, debate, and decide for yourself—was it all just coincidence, or the greatest power play in modern history?

This week, we’re diving headfirst into September 11, 2001—the day the world stopped spinning. After last week’s "Pre-9/11" setup got us all paranoid, now we’re cracking open the main event with a roundtable of real talk.
Picture this: 19 hijackers, box cutters in hand, pulling off the unthinkable. Except Hani Hanjour, the guy who “flew” into the Pentagon, couldn’t even buzz a Cessna without sweating—yet he lands a 500-mph trick shot? And why are some of these dudes popping up alive post-attack, chilling like nothing happened?
We’re not stopping there. The Twin Towers—built like tanks—turn to dust, molten steel dripping at temps jet fuel can’t touch. Building 7 flops like a pro demolition, no plane required. The Pentagon? A 20-foot hole, no wings, no wreckage—80 cameras, and we get a blurry teaser trailer. Flight 93’s a debris field for miles—did the passengers fight, or did a missile call game over? Larry Silverstein’s cashing a $4.55 billion check, the "dancing Israelis" are filming the show, and NORAD’s hitting snooze. It’s just us three piecing it together over whiskey and a mic, asking the questions you’re too afraid to whisper.
Next week, "Post-9/11" drops, but for now, join the RBM crew as we unpack the day that still echoes. This ain’t your grandpa’s history podcast—this is us, raw and real, taking on the biggest “what ifs” out there.
Join us as we sip whiskey, debate evidence, and unravel a tale so crazy it might just be true—or not. Follow us on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok, and let us know your take on 9/11. Subscribe on Spotify to catch every episode!

Buckle up, because this ain’t your average Sunday chat.
From a surviving alien learning English to a 13-year mission on a desert planet with two suns, paper-tasting food, and cloning experiments—this story has it all. But is it the greatest cover-up in human history or just a disinformation campaign cooked up by a shady ex-intelligence agent?
