Manage episode 373878739 series 3501546

In this episode we're diving into this conspiracy theory that found its wings on Tik Tok. This whacky story has ties to Trump, the Vietnam war and even JFK's ham sandwich? (Not a euphemism.) It's bonkers, but in the best way possible. Follow us on instagram (@StoryHotlinePodcast) to let us know what you think... do birds work for the bourgeoisie or is it all bullshit?
