If History And Hollywood Can Be Edited Then What Else Is
You can walk through downtown Denver and never realize you’re standing on top of a different city. We get into the Denver Underground beneath Larimer Street, the buried storefronts and bricked-up corridors, and the official 1864 flood story that says the streets were raised over time. Then we lean into what still doesn’t quite sit right for a lot of curious people: the scale of the engineering, the quality of the brickwork, and why the documentation feels thinner than you’d expect for a project that big. We talk through the Tartaria angle too not as a “gotcha,” but as a real example of what happens when physical evidence and official records don’t line up cleanly.
From there, we pivot back to life above ground in modern Denver. We react to street-level chaos, homelessness, squatters in abandoned houses, the fentanyl and meth grind, rising car theft, and how people get desensitized when sirens and instability become normal. It’s a raw look at what residents notice when a city changes fast, and what it does to trust, empathy, and basic safety.
We also dig into claims about media manipulation and propaganda, including alleged CIA and Pentagon influence in Hollywood, how narratives get repeated until they feel like truth, and why that matters when the topic is war, torture, and public consent. And we close with a true crime story that stuck with us: the Phoenix “Zombie Hunter” case, where investigative genetic genealogy and a single restaurant glass finally helped investigators identify Brian Patrick Miller after decades.
