Ground Zero is where the unexplained meets the undeniable. Hosted by Joseph Charafi and Ben, this podcast dives headfirst into the stories people whisper about but rarely confront. From ancient folklore and modern horror to aliens, angels, demons, and the hidden layers of the occult, nothing is off limits. But this is not just storytelling. Ground Zero breaks down what these stories mean, where they come from, and whether there is truth buried beneath them. Along the way, we connect it all to culture, politics, movies, and the narratives shaping the world around us. Some episodes will make you think. Some will challenge what you believe. Some might make you uncomfortable. That is the point. If you have ever questioned reality, this is where the conversation starts.

    Ground Zero Ep. 4 — "Asia: Yellow Emperors, Sea Goddesses, Triads & What Ben Saw Under Area 51"

    1.4 billion people believe they descend from one man — the Yellow Emperor — who was born from a cloud of light, fought a six-armed monster, and ascended to heaven on a dragon. Tonight Joey, Benjamin, and Tony Benton go deep into the strangest threads in Asian mythology and where they connect to everything else we've been pulling on. A pearl diver in 960 AD who psychically rescued ships at sea while in a trance — remote viewing 1,000 years before the CIA tried to reproduce it at Stanford. The Lady of the Pearl who cut her own chest open to hide the dragon king's stolen jewel inside her body. The Yellow Emperor's connection to Saturn — and why Imperial robes were always yellow. Cosmic egg giants, Lake Biwa as a giant's footprint, and Pangu's body becoming the world. The Triads — a 350-year-old initiation order with blood oaths, sacred numerology, and rituals nearly identical to Freemasonry, allied with every Chinese government for 250 years. And then Benjamin shares what he saw this morning when he looked under Area 51. A 1950s-style underground city. People living in a closed environment for generations. Tunnels. Manufacturing plants. And entities a few levels deeper that don't want to be seen. Tech kept failing. Lights died. Audio cut out the second we got near the dark stuff. Something didn't want this episode going out either. We recorded it anyway. 🎙 New episodes weekly — YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts 💬 Subscribe, share, draw your own conclusions #GroundZeroPodcast #Asia #YellowEmperor #Mazu #LadyOfThePearl #Triads #Pangu #Area51 #RemoteViewing #SaturnWorship #AncientMythology #SecretSocieties #Dragons #Esoteric #HiddenHistory

    Ground Zero Ep. 3 — "Does Something Not Want Us Talking About Saturn?"

    Ben's computer crashed. Then his camera. Then his headphones. Then the whole rig — twice. Three cameras in one night. Right as we sat down to record an episode about Saturn worship, the Black Cube, and the symbol hiding in plain sight across every major religion on earth. Coincidence? You decide. This week Joey is joined by Ben, Tony, and Ground Zero's youngest guest ever — 15-year-old Lucas Jeffords — for a wide-open conversation that goes from the Kaaba in Mecca to the hexagon NASA can't explain on Saturn's north pole. We get into Moloch, El, the star of Remphan, why God rebukes Israel for Saturn worship in both the Old and New Testament, the black cubes Jewish men strap to their foreheads, the 29-year Saturn cycle, dragons, giants, the Nephilim, and Ben's ongoing trip to District 5 in Tehran. Tech failures. Cameras dying. Headphones cutting out mid-sentence. Something didn't want this episode happening. We recorded it anyway. All speculation. No conclusions handed to you. Draw your own. 🎙 New episodes weekly 📍 Find us on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts 💬 Tap in — what do you think is going on?

    Gr0und Zer0 E2: The Deep, The Dome & The Fallen

    In Episode 2 of Gr0und Zer0, Joey Charafi and Benjamin Richau are joined by Tony Benton — board member of the Stop the Traffic Foundation and AI expert — for one of the most wide-ranging conversations the show has had yet. They open with the deep ocean — NASA's history of underwater research, the five depth zones, and the mystery of the Bloop, the most powerful unidentified sound ever recorded, detected simultaneously three thousand miles apart. They dive into the SOSUS network — a classified Navy hydrophone system installed on the ocean floor in the 1950s that wasn't declassified until 1991 — and what it was hearing that the public wasn't allowed to know. They cover Bimini Road, the mysterious underwater stone formation in the Bahamas discovered the same year Edgar Cayce predicted Atlantis would resurface, and the Eye of Africa as the location that best fits Plato's description of the lost continent. Then Ben takes it to the firmament — the solid, hammered dome described in Hebrew scripture over fifteen times as a physical structure, not empty sky — and shares a firsthand account of standing on the edge of the third heaven and looking down at the cosmos. The episode closes with Tony's deep dive into the $2.3 trillion in unaccounted Pentagon transactions announced by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10th 2001, and what Joey and Ben have been piecing together about Justin Bieber, Diddy and the shipping container connection. Jesus is Lord. The rabbit hole goes all the way down. 🎙️ Joey Charafi & Benjamin Richau 👤 Guest: Tony Benton 📍 @Jcharafi | @TWRCH 🌐 stopthetrafficfoundation.org

    Gr0und Zer0 E1: Sons of God, Daughters of Men

    Gr0und Zer0 is the podcast that asks the questions your Sunday school teacher skipped. Hosted by Joey Charafi, president of the Stop the Traffic Foundation, Nevada Assembly candidate, and lifelong Las Vegan, alongside co-host Benjamin Richau, spiritual advisor, seer, and Bible study facilitator for entrepreneurs across the U.S. This show lives at the intersection of scripture, the supernatural, history, conspiracies, and modern culture. Both hosts are committed believers who keep Christ at the center while refusing to keep the weird stuff at arm's length. Episode 1: The Nephilim. The Watchers who left heaven, the giants they fathered, and what Genesis 6 tells us about why the world had to be wiped clean. From the bloodline of Jesus to the alien question to what's really walking the streets of Las Vegas at night — this is where the conversation starts.
