Nearly 25 years later, the Lads look back at 9/11. What they remember, what actually happened, and why the conspiracy theories surrounding that day never disappeared.From jet fuel and Building 7 to military exercises, intelligence warnings, the CIA, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and the propaganda that followed, the conversation asks where legitimate government failures end, and conspiracy begins.Welcome back to The Lore Lads....

After diving deep into the Zodiac Killer case on Pepperbox.tv, the Lads come away with more questions than answers.From inconsistent victims and changing methods to the strange letters, possible suspects, and the mystery of why the killings suddenly stopped, the evidence doesn’t always fit together as neatly as people think. So what if the biggest assumption about the Zodiac has been wrong all along?Was the Zodiac Killer really one person?Welcome back to the Lore Lads....

After digging deeper into the supposed string of mysterious scientist deaths, the Lads start asking a different question: how much of the conspiracy actually holds up? This episode focuses heavily on Amy Eskridge, her anti-gravity research, the strange claims surrounding her life, and the point at which legitimate science begins to blur into conspiracy. Along the way, the conversation dives into bad science communication, Graham Hancock, David Paulides, time travel, and how easy it is to build a theory when you stop looking for evidence that proves you wrong.Welcome back to The Lore Lads....0:00 Intro0:25 Are the Scientist Deaths Actually Connected?5:34 The Amy Eskridge Case8:17 When the Conspiracy Starts Falling Apart9:06 Amy’s Institute for Exotic Sciences11:46 Mental Health or Something More?14:45 Was Any of Amy’s Research Real?19:05 The Shadow Force Detour22:29 Breaking Down the Anti-Gravity Claims27:21 Why Scientists Are Terrible at Naming Things32:05 How Bad Science Communication Creates Conspiracies35:07 Graham Hancock, David Paulides & Bad Debunks42:40 Science Changes Faster Than You Think46:26 When Time Travel Turns Science Into Fantasy52:20 The People Around Amy Failed Her56:50 How Conspiracy Theories Build Themselves1:00:52 Learning to Admit Your Theory Was Wrong

Following the recent Lore Lodge deep dive into the disappearance of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, the Lads sit down to talk about everything that went into researching one of the most frustrating and heavily debated cases they’ve tackled. From the mountain of conflicting information and strange digital evidence to the theories that didn’t quite make it into the final video, there was a lot left to unpack.
