    Smoke Screens, Super Pigs & the Denzel Doctrine | PH 51

    The boys are scattered, the internet's garbage, and Zell's nowhere to be found — but that won't stop a full power hour of unfiltered tangents. Wildfire smoke gets reverse-engineered into a UFO cover story (and a possible Bigfoot fire-starting conspiracy), JD Vance squirms on Rogan, Braden plots a mayoral run against a guy named Kermit, AM radio gets buried, and the trio settles once and for all whether Denzel Washington is even an actor or just a vibe. Loose, unhinged, and 100% off the case file this week Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    New UAP File Drops, the Tyler Robinson Prelim Fallout & James Franco's Alien Problem | PH 50

    It's a stripped-down Power Hour edition of the show — no Mongoose, just Braden, Dan, and Zel riffing through a stacked news week. The Department of War just dropped a fourth tranche of UAP footage straight from the White House site, and the Theorists break down the new star-shaped IR anomaly, a possible mid-frame near-collision, and why "official government disclosure" might just be the world's best-funded misinformation campaign. Then it's over to the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing, where inconclusive ballistics, unmatched DNA on the rifle, and a very specific number of maroon shirts in the crowd have the internet spiraling again. And somewhere between Cold War fighter jets, a hollowed-out Air Canada horror story, and James Franco apparently discovering an alien in his garage, the guys still find time to argue about auto-erotic asphyxiation as a sleep aid and whether solo dad weekends count as heroism.

    The Khara-Hora Shaft | Case File 384

    High in the North Caucasus mountains of Kabardino-Balkaria, a landslide once tore open a hole no wider than a dinner plate — and what lay beneath it defied every explanation the men who found it could offer. A narrow shaft plunges forty meters through solid rock, its walls polished smooth and fitted with two-hundred-ton blocks locked together so precisely that not even a blade can slide between the seams. No natural cave on Earth looks like this. No known civilization in the Caucasus had the tools to build it. The men who dared to map it never got the chance to finish. Within seven years of the shaft's discovery, the speleologist who found it was dead in a hit-and-run the day after announcing a new breakthrough, the researcher who led the deepest expeditions was gone from cancer, and three more tied to the investigation had quietly died as well. What they left behind was a single disputed map, a handful of photographs, and a warning passed down by local elders about an "Old City" buried both above and below the mountain — one no living person has ever fully explored. This case file, join the Theorists as we descend the shaft, cross-examine the blueprints, and chase the ghosts of a research team that vanished before their work was done in… The Khara-Hora Shaft.

    Jacko The Ape Boy | ATT Confidential

    n 1884, a British Columbia newspaper reported that railway workers had captured a four-foot-tall, ape-like creature near Yale, BC — they called him Jacko. This week, the Theorists dig into one of Canada's oldest and strangest cryptid cases: a supposed juvenile sasquatch caged and put on public display over a century before Bigfoot became a household name. Was Jacko a genuine cryptozoological discovery lost to history, an escaped circus animal, or one of the 19th century's great hoaxes? The gang breaks down the original newspaper account, the mysterious disappearance of all physical evidence, and why this story keeps getting resurrected by sasquatch researchers today.

    The Death of Charlie Kirk | Case File 383

    On a bright September afternoon in 2025, a 31-year-old activist stepped onto a stage in front of three thousand people at Utah Valley University — and into the sightline of a gunman perched on a rooftop more than a hundred yards away. A single shot cracked across the Orem campus, and one of the most polarizing voices in modern American politics was gone before the crowd even understood what they had witnessed. What followed was not closure, but chaos. A botched early announcement that a suspect was already in custody. A frantic manhunt that ended only when the accused shooter's own family recognized him and helped bring him in. And then a nationwide firestorm — hundreds of firings, a late-night host yanked off the air, dueling accusations over who was truly to blame — that exposed a country far more fractured than anyone wanted to admit. As the case grinds toward trial, the questions only multiply: how does a lone gunman breach an" "secure" event with no checkpoints and no bag checks, and why does so much of the official record still sit behind a wall of redactions? This case file, join the Theorists as we comb the rooftop, cross-examine the timeline, and step into the long shadow cast over Orem in… The Death of Charlie Kirk.

    The Deaths on Aconagua | Case File 382

    In the thin, freezing air of January 1973, an elite eight-member expedition set out to conquer the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere. But what was meant to be a triumph of endurance quickly spiraled into one of the most harrowing and heavily debated tragedies in mountaineering history. Ambushed by a ferocious, sudden storm near the summit, the team fractured under the pressure of extreme altitude, leading to the bizarre and agonizing deaths of leader Janet Johnson and NASA engineer John Cooper. The tragedy deepened when subsequent rescue teams and forensic experts struggled to reconcile the physical evidence left on the mountain with the surviving members' conflicting accounts. Decades later, when the receding glaciers finally surrendered Janet Johnson's remarkably preserved body, instead of answers, it revealed inexplicable injuries that reignited whispers of foul play, professional negligence, and a desperate struggle for survival at the edge of the world. This case file, join the Theorists as we brave the blizzard, audit the high-altitude anomalies, and cross the frozen perimeter of South America’s deadliest peak in…The Deaths on Aconagua Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    The Great Cryptid State Debate | Case File 381

    Across the vast expanse of the American landscape, every region guards its own local nightmares. From the dense, pine-scented woods of New Jersey to the muddy, mist-shrouded banks of the Ohio River, communities have long shared encounters with creatures that defy the laws of biology. But these aren't just campfire stories anymore. In a fascinating intersection of folklore and local pride, a growing movement has seen state governments formally debating, and sometimes officially adopting, these legendary beasts as official state symbols. Whether it's the fierce debate over the winged Jersey Devil, the elusive Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest, or the web-footed Loveland Frogman, these creatures are stepping out of the shadows and into legislative chambers. To skeptics, it’s a lighthearted marketing gimmick or a fun nod to regional tourism. But to cultural anthropologists and alternative researchers, these cryptids serve as vital, living monuments to regional identity, carrying the oral histories, fears, and unique geography of the people who map them. Are these official declarations just a playful distraction, or do they represent a deeper, subconscious need to preserve the untamed mysteries of the American wilderness? This case file, join the Theorists as we enter the legislative labyrinth, audit the local anomalies, and cast our vote on these legendary residents in…The Great Cryptid State Debate Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Return to Plum Island, The Lonestar Tick | Case File 380

    Just off the coast of Long Island, a heavily restricted animal disease center has served as a fortress of federal agricultural defense since 1954, studying dangerous foreign pathogens to protect American livestock. However, the facility's geographic proximity to Old Lyme, Connecticut, where Lyme disease was first identified in the 1970s,has long fueled curiosity about the origin of tick-borne illnesses.  This curiosity has intensified with the recent, aggressive expansion of the Lone Star tick and the rise of Alpha-gal syndrome, a condition that triggers a severe allergy to red meat. Public health officials and ecologists point to climate shifts, reforestation, and exploding deer populations as the real drivers behind this rapid parasitic surge. Yet, as the mysterious facility prepares to permanently close its doors, the intersection of ecological realities and historical laboratory secrets remains a fascinating puzzle. Are we simply witnessing a natural, albeit terrifying, ecological shift in how parasites interact with human populations? Or does the legacy of high-security research laboratories warrant a closer look at our historical interface with infectious diseases? This case file, join the Theorists as we bypass the biosecurity, peer into the pathogen pools, and penetrate the perimeter in…A Return to Plum Island Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
