We wonder what goes on inside its walls and discuss the known inner workings of Vatican City. We also talk about the Swiss Guard and their killer skill and how difficult it is to get into The Vatican as a citizen.

The Conspiracy Behind The Truth Jack Ruby and Agent K These will be some late night episodes of 2 guys exploring some conspiracies. Some will be commonly known conspiracies and others may be something that we’ve made up. We aim to have a general discussion about why some may have the beliefs they do about these topics however, it is unlikely we will ever debunk or prove correct any of them. So with that being said it would be preferable that we don’t disappear should we happen to prove something either correct or incorrect.
