Join hosts Brett & Chuck as they crack open Blue Moon Belgian wheat beers and dive headfirst into some of the most persistent conspiracy theories plaguing the internet.

From moon landing skeptics to flat earth believers, the guys tackle the evidence (or lack thereof) behind these wild claims with their trademark blend of skepticism and humor.

• Moon Landing Hoax: Why do people still think it was filmed on a movie set? The hosts examine the "evidence" from waving flags to missing stars, plus the compelling counter-arguments involving retro-reflectors and Soviet tracking.

• JFK Assassination: The never-ending mystery that spawned countless theories about government cover-ups, multiple shooters, and mysterious body handling.

• Flat Earth vs. Hollow Earth: Two competing theories that can't both be right. Chuck jokes about ice walls maintaining the oceans while Brett questions the physics of it all.

• The Illuminati: Chuck claims his recent induction (complete with Denver International Airport headquarters) while discussing whether secret societies of wealthy elites really control world governments.

• Bigfoot/Sasquatch: Why do similar cryptid descriptions appear across cultures worldwide, yet we've never found bones, DNA, or clear footage?

• Modern Conspiracies: From 5G causing COVID-19 to living in the Matrix, plus some truly bizarre ones like Finland not existing.

• Area 51 & UFOs: What's really happening at the classified site, and why did only 10 people show up to "Storm Area 51"?

• Celebrity Death Hoaxes: Paul McCartney died in 1966? Avril Lavigne was replaced? The hosts explore why these theories persist.

Blue Moon Belgian White - 5.4% ABVThe hosts rate this accessible wheat beer while discussing how it's evolved from craft to mainstream. Chuck gives it a 4/5 for its smooth, easy-drinking qualities.

• Chuck's deadpan delivery about his Illuminati membership
• Discussion of Disney's underground tunnel system (which actually exists)

• Brett's challenge to flat earthers and hollow earthers to debate on the show
• The revelation that multiple countries worldwide have similar Bigfoot-like creature legends

Classic "Are You Shitting Me?" style - the hosts approach these theories with healthy skepticism while acknowledging what makes them compelling to believers. They're not dismissive of people who hold these beliefs, but they do point out logical flaws and demand evidence. The conversation flows naturally between topics with plenty of tangents and personal anecdotes.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy debunking pseudoscience with a side of craft beer and good humor.

Join Brett and Chuck as Are You Sh!#ing Me? goes live from the legendary Naperville Ale Fest — one of the Midwest’s biggest and booziest beer events! 🍻

• 🍺 Their first-ever beer (hint: it's not always classy)

• 🤯 Wild beer stories

• 👑 What it's like being a beer ambassador or brewery rep in today’s hop-fueled world

Whether you're a homebrewer, IPA nerd, or casual drinker, this episode delivers real, unfiltered stories from the heart of the beer scene. Expect laughs, surprises, and a few questionable life choices – all soaked in hops and high spirits.

🎧 Hit play, crack open a cold one, and get ready for one of our rowdiest, most ridiculous episodes yet. This is craft beer culture like you've never heard it before.

**AMERICA, Baby.**

Fire up the grill, overuse fireworks, and dump way too much ice in your soda —

It’s **Fourth of July season**, baby! And what better way to celebrate than by questioning all the ridiculous stuff that makes America… *America.*

In this star-spangled episode of *Are You Sh!#ing Me?*, Chuck kicks things off with one of his favorite **Saturday Night Live** sketches: **“Washington’s Dream”** featuring **Nate Bargatze**.

We use it as a jumping-off point to explore the baffling beauty of American life, including:

🍟 Drive-thru overload

💊 Prescription drug ads with *17 horrifying side effects*

💸 Tipping culture (are we tipping the pharmacist now?)

🧊 Our obsession with *ice*

🔪 And of course, the unnecessary “K” in *knife*

Cheers!

New Host. New Beer.

Same Shenanigans.

In this Are You Sh!#ing Me? milestone episode, we welcome a fresh face to the mic! Brett returns—but not with Aaron. After three years, co-host Aaron is stepping back (probably into the studio or a brewery), and a new legend-in-the-making joins the chaos: Chuck.

You might recognize Chuck from fan-favorite episodes like “Rock 1991, WTF Is Classic Rock?” and the not-yet-released-but-already-epic “Lunar Litterbugs.” Get to know the New Guy as Brett grills him on everything from his favorite go-to beer (spoiler: it’s not a double-hopped imperial anything) to his deep Connecticut roots and love for UConn.

In proper AYSM style, the guys crack open a New Guy IPA from Trinity Brewing (Colorado Springs), taste test the pine and blueberry notes (or try to), and roast IPA culture just enough to make craft beer lovers squirm.

This episode is your backstage pass to Chuck’s personality (or lack of) podcast goals, and totally valid opinions on helmets, Gordie Howe, session beers, and whether anyone actually tastes “floral notes.”

🔊 Are You Sh!#ing Me? just got a little weirder, a little louder, and maybe even a little wiser. Tune in and meet the new guy.

Cheers!
