Ken and Raymond jump in a time machine back to the 1990s before the world got too weird to discover what the conspiracy climate was like through the eyes of conspiracy theorist William Cooper. Our pale-horse-riding-guide this week is author Mark Jacobson.

This week we discuss: The legend of William Cooper, why the hip-hop community loves old Bill, Mystery Babylon, Cooper’s predictions, and much more.

Joining me from his conspiracy-proof compound is Raymond Wiley
