Topic: Conspiracy Con

Greg Carlwood and the guests reminisce about their time on the "Don Peyote" tour bus with actor Dan Fogler. They share anecdotes about a near-death experience in a city bus and Carlwood’s first experience with LSD. The discussion also touches on a failed collaborative project called "Conspiracy HQ," which served as a lesson in the difficulties of professional partnerships in the conspiracy research field.

Sophia Smallstorm discusses her research into manufactured tragedies and the role of Department of Homeland Security drills. She notes that reporters are often given fictional stories to report during coordinated exercises involving multiple resources. Smallstorm points to discrepancies in the identities and social security records of Nancy and Adam Lanza as evidence of a scripted narrative.

Greg Carlwood reflects on the growth of the show's audience and the need to transition from digital conversations to real-world action. He expresses disappointment in the low turnout at physical conspiracy conferences and laments how the financial system sucks the fun out of life by shackling people to mortgages and rent. The goal is expressed to find a way to apply "real world energy" to the ideas discussed on the podcast.

Greg Carlwood introduces the podcast and his new apparel line, Conspiratease, which features bold designs intended to project socially uncomfortable truths. Carlwood recaps his experience at the 2013 Conspiracy Con, mentioning a capitalism argument with Foster Gamble and meeting Olav Phillips. This segment sets the stage for a series of interviews and clips captured during the convention.

Olav Phillips, executive producer for Ground Zero Radio and archivist for the UFO community, joins the show to discuss his impressions of Conspiracy Con. Phillips notes the high quality of speakers like Freeman and Sophia Smallstorm but expresses concern over the aging demographic of attendees. The conversation highlights the high cost of organizing and attending such conventions as a barrier for younger participants.
