Episode Overview

Joe welcomes the host of a wildly popular YouTube channel — tipped off years ago by Joe's longtime friend Gino — that has grown from zero to nearly 5 million subscribers since launching in 2020. The show focuses on ancient history anomalies, government secrecy, and the overlap between archaeology and classified programs. They cover the Grand Canyon Egyptian artifacts story (alleged caverns with hieroglyphics discovered and then suppressed), DARPA's darker history starting in Vietnam, Karl Wolf's 2001 Air Force disclosure about structures on the far side of the moon, nuclear test films and whether UFOs appear in the footage at Castle Bravo, what happens when conventional archaeologists circle the wagons against alternative timeline researchers like Randal Carlson and Robert Schoch, and why as long as the CIA exists, they're going to be hiding something. The guest teases an upcoming CIA episode and invites Joe to bring it back whenever it drops.
