Zach Mack and his dad try to mend a rift between them in a very unusual way.

Zach's father approaches him about a $10,000 bet that 10 right wing conspiracies will come true in 2024. As he tries to reach his father, their family falls apart.

An interesting inside view at one family's struggle to reach a radicalized family member, consumed by misinformation.

Heard that over the weekend. Very interesting.
