Join Josh and Chuck as they tackle one of the most persistent aviation conspiracy theories: chemtrails.

They explore the various conspiracy theories about why governments might be spraying chemicals from planes - from population control to weather manipulation - while examining the scientific explanations and evidence that debunks these claims.
