What if a child claimed he traveled through time, witnessed the Gettysburg Address, and took secret trips to Mars with a young Barack Obama? Welcome to the wild world of Andrew Basiago—a man whose extraordinary stories have electrified conspiracy circles and left skeptics shaking their heads. In this episode, we dive deep into the most outrageous claims of secret government time travel, teleportation, and alien encounters, all wrapped up in the saga of Project Pegasus.

We’ll separate fact from fiction, exploring the real history behind confiscated Tesla files, the science (or lack thereof) behind time travel, and the ever-shifting details in Basiago’s narrative.

Packed with wit, controversy, and a healthy dose of skepticism, this episode is your backstage pass to the most bizarre corners of the internet—and a reality check on what’s actually possible. Whether you’re a believer, a debunker, or just love a good story, you’ll want to listen till the end. Ready to separate science from science fiction?
