The Origin of Weird: Denver International Airport

  • Summary

  • What do airport tunnels, alien hideouts, and a gargoyle named Gregoriden have in common? They're all part of the fantastical lore surrounding Denver International Airport. Join us as we kick things off with a hilarious chat about the etiquette (or lack thereof) of burping before soaring into the sky-high statistics and quirky history of this colossal hub. Covering an area larger than Manhattan, the Denver International Airport not only boasts of being the largest airport in the Western Hemisphere by land, but also of a construction past riddled with cost overruns and a famously failed baggage system, adding fuel to the fire of conspiracy theories.

    Prepare to be intrigued as we unpack the wildest claims—underground tunnels for reptilians, runways for a shadowy global elite, and even alleged Nazi symbolism in airport murals. These myths have only grown, partly thanks to the airport's own cheeky nods to the rumors, like the installation of Gregoriden, the animatronic gargoyle. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode promises a captivating mix of history, mystery, and humor that will have you questioning just what else might be hiding beneath those snow-capped peaks—or circus tents, depending on your perspective. Join us for a journey through the bizarre world of the Denver International Airport conspiracies.
