In this episode, we’re unpacking one of Knox’s core philosophies: there’s always a tax to pay. From loving Rachel McAdams but enduring some questionable movie choices to working in Christian publishing and strategically downplaying the actual books you’re reading, we’re breaking down the costs of our pop culture loyalties.

In this episode, we’re strapping on the tinfoil hats for another deep dive into the world of conspiracy theories. Is Garth Brooks secretly a serial killer? What actually happened to that lady on the plane? And is there really a secret tunnel system lurking beneath the Denver Airport? Listen as we separate truth from internet chaos in our quest to figure out what’s real, what’s ridiculous, and what’s just algorithm-fueled delusion. Plus, we revisit the conspiracies we once believed to see if they still hold up after all these years.

In this episode, we’re weighing in on beige flags. Join us as we confess our own behaviors that aren’t full red flags but definitely deserve a closer look, then react to listener submissions with equal parts curiosity, chaos, and confusion. Some are totally fine, some are secretly alarming, and some are weirdly iconic.

It’s not a deal breaker like a red flag, but it’s not exactly a plus, like a green flag. The key is that it’s weird, but harmless.
