535: Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Part 1
Show notes
Meet Matty, the self-described "twenty-year-old loser working at the vape kiosk in the mall." In 2019, bored and sort of as a joke, he made a post on his Facebook page - "shitposting" - encouraging his 41 followers that they should all storm Area 51 in three months. He created an event and went to bed. Little did he know the hell and chaos he was about to unleash as THREE MILLION PEOPLE signed up to ACTUALLY DO IT. And once the internet caught wind of this, it was just a matter of time before this became an international countdown to the day. And who knew what would happen. The only thing they knew for sure was that the US Military had orders to SHOOT TO KILL anyone who tried.
