Summary

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz introduce conspiracy theory expert Donald Jeffries, who brings listeners to The Paracast what may be the ultimate conspiracy theory. So his book "From Strawberry Fields to Abbey Road: A Billy Shears Story," written along with Don Wilson, explores one of the wildest rumors to ever come out of the entertainment world — the "Paul is Dead" legend. The authors detail the history behind the rumor, and numerous figures from show business, as well as Beatles experts, share their own thoughts on the subject, as well as how the Beatles impacted their lives. Jeffries first began researching the JFK assassination in the mid-1970s as a teenage volunteer with Mark Lane's Citizens Committee of Inquiry. His books include the best-sellers "Hidden History: an Expose of Modern Crimes," "Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics," "Survival of the Richest: How the Corruption of the Marketplace and the Disparity of Wealth Created the Greatest Conspiracy of All," "Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics: 1776-1963," "Bullyocracy: How the Social Hierarchy Enables Bullies to Rule Schools, Workplaces, and Society at Large" and "On Borrowed Fame: Money, Mysteries, and Corruption in the Entertainment World."

0:32.1	This is a show I've really been looking forward to,
0:35.8	because we really haven't covered good
0:37.8	conspiracy theories on the powercasts for a long long time. I mean we've done the JFK
0:43.2	stuff and I'm going to ask our guest Don Jeffries about that for a reason I'll specify
0:48.2	in a moment. But last week it was interesting I was waiting for a reaction to people
0:55.0	when we had Chris O'Brien on,
0:57.7	and somebody used one of those AI chat applications
1:02.1	to find his bio, and we learned he had died 14 years earlier,
1:07.8	a year before he first joined the Poweracast as the co-host.
1:11.6	And I'm thinking here, Tim Swartz, if we look up your bio, when did you die?
1:17.6	I'll never die, Gene. Don't you know that? It's like, what are the immortals?
1:23.6	Ah, you are the undead.
1:25.6	That's right. Every 60 years or so, I change identity and start over again.
1:32.5	So this is the person that Boris Karloff was talking about in the 1934 universal film, The Black Cat,
1:39.3	where he co-starred with Bella Legosi, and said, of course, are we not the undead?
1:44.1	In so many words.
1:45.9	Yeah.
