Send us Fan Mail Winchester, Virginia's own Admiral Richard E. Byrd supposedly wrote a secret diary detailing a flight he took over the South Pole on February 19, 1947 that led him into The Hollow Earth.  I read the entire diary entry to JPX & STUNTMAN MIKE and it is fascinating.  He claims to have seen mountains, rivers, UFOs, Nazi's & He also had a sit down meeting with THE MASTER who gave him a message to relay back to his race in hopes it would save them.   RICHARD E.

Send us Fan Mail Dave is back to discuss one of his favorite conspiracy theorists, David Icke (that's IKE not ICKY, thank you)! I personally did not know much about him other than he is way into Reptilians, so this was an enlightening conversation for me.  We gloss over most of his bonkers theories about Hybrid Alien Bloodlines, Reptilian agendas, who is really in control of this mad world, why Princess Di was killed and more!  LISTEN TO DAVE'S BAND!

I really can't wrap my brain around these cases & I think you'll find them interesting cause there really are no words to explain what happened to these people.

Send us Fan Mail STEVE X is back to discuss the mysteries behind the DIA, or the Denver International Airport, or DEN, or Illuminati World HQ...whatever you want to call it.  It has underground tunnels, "Apocalyptic" Murals, Masonic time capsules, it was built on a Native American Burial Ground (possibly), its runways form a Swatstika, it has a Demonic Mustang statue that killed the Artist who made it, it has Gargoyles...and more! To top it off, Airport officials have fully embraced the chaos & conspiracies surrounding its existence.  Is it all in good fun or all smoke & mirrors? We don't know!
