About this episode

When a rabbit hole becomes a black hole, entire lives can be sucked into the void. This episode unravels the tangled web of QAnon, exploring its origins, spread, and devastating impact on individuals and families. Journalist Jesselyn Cook joins the fellas to dissect how a fringe conspiracy theory infiltrated mainstream culture, offering a false sense of belonging to those who feel lost. Through personal stories, the discussion sheds light on the psychological needs these theories fulfill and the heartbreaking challenges faced by loved ones trying to pull someone back from the brink. Empathy, dignity, and understanding emerge as crucial tools in combating the grip of harmful beliefs.
