Researcher Mark Devlin returns to the program to discuss the intersection of conspiracy and pop culture following the publication of his book, Musical Truth. The conversation introduces the concept of the music industry as a tool for societal control managed by "string pullers."

Clyde Lewis uses Taylor Swift's transition from country to pop as an example of how the music industry now relies on algorithms and social media trends.

The hypnotic nature of pop, trance, and "trap" music is discussed as a method for entraining the human brain. Bush performs a lyrical analysis of "Blinded by the Light," written by Bruce Springsteen, pointing to cryptic references to solar deception and "runners in the night." He suggests that the repetitive structure of music makes listeners more receptive to subconscious programming.
