S6 E19 - The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory Ranking | Volume 5

We made it to Volume 5.

Somehow.

And for the final installment of The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory Ranking (at least for now) we’re closing this series with celebrity deaths, mind control, secret societies, hidden power structures, frozen legends, and one of the strangest Michael Jackson theories we’ve ever talked about.

Same rules.

Same scale.

One last trip down the rabbit trail.

1 — Not in a million years.

5 — Absolutely. I’d bet my life on it.

This time, we start with one of the most persistent theories in music history:

Did Courtney Love have something to do with Kurt Cobain’s death?

And because this is That Would Be Rad, that conversation somehow sends us sideways into MKULTRA, government mind-control experiments, pop culture, and even the Mickey Mouse Club of the 1990s.

From there, things only get bigger.

Do a small group of elites actually control more of the world than we realize?

Is the Illuminati a real organization—or has the legend become something entirely different from whatever may have existed in the first place?

Was Walt Disney really cryogenically frozen?

And then there’s Michael Jackson.

Because according to one theory…

he never actually died.

Could the King of Pop still be alive, hiding in plain sight, living under another identity—or is this exactly the kind of theory that proves we’ve finally gone too far?

As always, we’re not here to tell you what to believe.

We’re here to hear the theory.

Follow the strange details.

Argue about what makes sense.

Laugh at what absolutely does not.

Accidentally wander into three completely different conspiracy theories along the way…

And eventually put a number on it.

Some of these have been circulating for decades.

Some involve very real historical programs that have grown into much larger conspiracy lore.

And some are so bizarre that the only reasonable response is:

Okay… where did THAT come from?

But this episode also marks the end of something.

After five volumes, dozens of conspiracy theories, countless detours, and more questionable rankings than we can remember…

The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory Ranking is going back into the vault.

Because October is here.

And longtime listeners know what that means.

The lights are getting lower.

The stories are getting darker.

And our annual That Would Be Rad Spooktacular is almost here.

But before we step into spooky season, there’s one last list to finish.

One last argument to have.

And one last question to ask:

Okay… but what if?
