## Resource

Cumia and Norton engage with a caller who celebrates their legacy of gallows humor, specifically recalling a controversial joke regarding a celebrity’s miscarriage to highlight the show's unapologetic commitment to offensive comedy. The conversation shifts into a passionate critique of modern conspiracy theories, where the hosts dismiss believers of the flat earth and fake moon landings as individuals seeking a sense of unearned importance. By applying scientific logic and practical reasoning, they argue that the sheer scale of cooperation required to maintain such hoaxes makes these theories impossible.
