Jeremy Corbell has spent years chasing the biggest secret in modern history, and it's cost him more than most people realize.

He built his reputation filming the footage governments tried to keep hidden, from Navy warships tracking objects no one can explain to whistleblowers risking everything to speak up.

Corbell talks about the years it took to earn a source's trust, the moment a supposed ally tried to steal his work in front of Congress, and what it's like knowing your phone might be tapped.

He also opens up about his friendship with journalist George Knapp and the partnership that helped change how the public sees this whole story.

This is the story behind the story, from the person who has been closest to it the longest.

In 1139, an Irish archbishop knelt in Rome and saw every pope who would ever sit on the throne of Peter. He wrote the visions down as 112 short phrases, then the manuscript vanished for 450 years.

When it resurfaced, historians checked the list against history. Pope after pope matched.

The list ends with a name no pope has ever dared to take, followed by the destruction of Rome and Judgment Day.

Francis died in 2025. A new pope took his place, and the city kept standing.

But hidden inside the original Latin is a second countdown, one that points to a specific year: 2027. We trace the prophecy from a candlelit chapel to a four-hundred-year-old forgery, and ask why it keeps landing on the truth.

Prophecy of the Popes | Saint Malachy's Countdown

Huge thanks to Jesse for hosting this compilation!

From rewriting the blueprint of life to radioactive creatures defying biology, this collection pulls back the curtain on some of the strangest scientific mysteries we've covered.

A forgotten fungus may have reshaped the human brain in record time.

Meaningful coincidences might be more than chance, and a maze experiment from a century ago still can't be fully explained.

Hidden signals shape decisions without your knowledge, and one scientist's radical theory cost him his safety for challenging what we think we know about memory.

Six stories, one question worth sitting with: how much of reality are we still missing?

Human Hybrids or Interdimensional Creatures: Cryptids Compilation Vol. 5

Cryptids exist in the space between known and unknown—creatures reported for generations but never officially acknowledged. From Mothman's glowing red eyes to ancient predators beneath Antarctic ice, from Australia's deadly Yowie to interdimensional beings along New Jersey rivers, witnesses describe encounters that defy explanation.

Underground electrical anomalies connect these sightings across continents. Cave networks form impossible geometric patterns. Physical evidence vanishes into government storage. Some reports trace back thousands of years through indigenous cultures. Modern technology captures footage mainstream science won't examine.

These aren't isolated stories—they're pieces of something larger. 

Something watching. Something waiting.

David Paulides spent his career as a detective. Then two park rangers knocked on his door and told him something that didn't add up: people are vanishing in our national parks, and nobody's talking about it. 

Search dogs that won't track. Hunters who walk back with stories that shouldn't be possible. A bullet that hit nothing. 

AJ sits down with the man behind Missing 411 to ask the question the Park Service won't answer — where did they go?

A physicist with a background in missile defense and NASA spent decades learning to leave his body at will. What he found changed how he understood reality itself.

Thomas Campbell built the first lab with Robert Monroe to study out-of-body states, and helped invent a sound technology that's still used today to alter consciousness.

Then he spent 33 years turning those experiences into a working theory of physics.

This conversation covers entanglement, the double-slit experiment, artificial intelligence, and what actually happens when we die, all explained through a lens that makes the strangest parts of quantum mechanics finally make sense.

A man sits alone in a blank room, sobbing into a bowl of soup while two grinning figures rub his back. A masked woman eats king crab in silence while a man's voice gives orders from off camera.

A commuter boards her last train home, and the train never stops where it should. Ninety minutes later, she steps onto a platform that isn't on any map.

Three strangers. Three recordings. Three stories that spread across the internet and refused to make sense.

For years, people slowed down the footage, decoded hidden messages, and traced accounts back to their source.

Danny Goler built a career on physical risk: parkour, stunts, national television. Then he pointed a cheap laser through DMT-altered vision and found something he wasn't looking for.

Symbols. Structure. A language he now calls the code of reality.

Thousands of strangers around the world have since aimed the same beam and reported identical shapes, without ever comparing notes.

AJ pushes past the viral story into the parts most conversations skip: what Goler actually felt, what changed inside him, and where the science ends and the mystery begins.

Goler walks through a vision that reshaped his understanding of divinity and free will, along with the encounter that convinced him something real is on the other side.

This conversation goes further than most guests are willing to go.

By spring of 1945, Hitler was surrounded on every front, but one project inside a secret mine kept running until the end. It was called Die Glocke, The Bell, built on mercury, fire, and a design borrowed from a thousand-year-old Indian text.

The scientists who built it vanished, along with the man who ran the entire project. Decades later, the same technology resurfaced in a US Navy patent, and nobody could explain how it got there.

This is the story of a warning written a thousand years before World War II, the men who ignored it, and the strange thread connecting an ancient king to modern spaceflight. Some of it is real, and none of it is finished.

-The Basement: Andrew Gallimore | DMT Didn't Take You Somewhere New — It Unlocked What's Always There

Dr. Andrew Gallimore has spent 30 years studying the world's strangest molecule — one your body already produces. As a neurobiologist and pharmacologist, he's built a scientific case that what people encounter on DMT isn't hallucination. It's contact.

In this conversation, Gallimore walks through the neuroscience of how DMT hijacks the brain's world-building system, and why that distinction matters enormously.

He also shares his recent collaboration with consciousness theorist Don Hoffman — work that produced a mathematical model of the DMT state that Gallimore calls one of the most profound moments of his career.

From machine elves to the Barrow Scale, from near-death experiences to the nature of alien intelligence — this one covers ground most conversations never reach.
