The Thunder Rolls and So Do the Accusations: Is Garth Brooks a Serial Killer?

April 27, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes

This episode examines how a dark joke about Garth Brooks evolved into a widespread online theory, tracing the origins, key moments (including the Chris Gaines alter ego), and the list of cases and timelines people used to connect the dots.

The hosts explore how pattern-seeking, mobility, anonymous accounts, and narrative structure can make speculation feel convincing—even without evidence—and end by asking why such stories stick.
