    Colleen and Andrew try to understand conspiracy theories and each other.  Why do they exist?  Who benefits and why are we so interested in learning about them?  Is our dynamic duo conspiring to misunderstand each other, obfuscate the point and avoid the topic of conspiracy theories all together?  Is Andrew a closet conspiracist?

    Why is the Netflix show, ‘Dahmer', the only thing people are talking about these days? Who were the serial killers that are loose right now? Why can't we turn our way? Are we watching a car crash, or is it our animalistic need to protect ourselves? We discuss famous serial-murdering necrophiliac cannibals... and a few others.

    There are just those movies that beg for this group to critique.  Today's episode digs into Matt Walsh's new movie, "What Is A Woman?"  The movie covers the challenging topics of sex changes, puberty blockers, and social conditioning (#Groomers).  Released the week that @ElonMusk's own daughter is stepping away from her own family because of Musk's disdain for "extreme woke-ism", perhaps these three might find a way to agree to disagree?  Let us know where you stand.

    Can cults be good? The group starts with more serious matters like Uvalde, school bullying, and gun control.  They pay homage to Ray Liotta (which seems to go terribly wrong), discuss the Ash test, and when the topic turns to cults - all bets are off.  The team discusses cults and how they work, they dig into Shannon's business cult, PTSD, microbiomes and poop doping. Is this the best way to lose weight, get strong, cure disease...   You be the judge.

    On today's podcast our hosts talk about Mayor Eric Adams and his "Broken Windows" approach to rising crime, and the influence of @AntiJokeCat on Andy's life and how it makes him cool to ten-year-olds.  "2000 Mules" loses to "Tombstone" and "Mad Max" and the psychology of all men and women enters into the conversation.  Andy and Colleen duke it out over workplace diversity and inclusion and somehow can't keep @AntiJokeCat out of the conversation.   Hate the idea, love the person.  You CAN Say That Here.

    On today's show, special guest, David Brown, joins in on a conversation about the validity of miracles, transubstantiation, and how Colleen set her house on fire (literally!)  Do angels perform miracles or do we use miracles as an excuse for good things that happen to substantiate our beliefs?  What is the Vatican Miracle Council, whether Elon Musk is an angel or sly capitalist, and Andrew compares magicians and priests.  We discussed Andrew as the "spoon" in our relationship and wishing for miracles.  Growing up in the ministry, David tells Andy & Colleen his true definition of miracles - which perhaps might be a little different than Colleen expected.  Transubstantiation aside, who knew this group could argue about something so... prophetic?

    On today's episode, our hosts push Allison out of her comfort zone when we make her play Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. Allison Demers, Andrew Levesque and Colleen Ferrary discuss their beliefs on Judgement Day and play "would You Rather" with celebrity sins.  The conversation vacillates from the relevance of the number seven, The Rapture and being sucked into the clouds from your car, believing in luck, and the #PowerOfAttraction.  Andy insults Allie, the end of time, plane stunts, porch talk, and our last moments. And we're left with a question: Is it a sin to smoke weed?
