"This is the last talk on the left. Side stories. Okay, Castle, before we begin today's episode, what I'm going to need you to do. Uh-huh. It's number one. I'm going to need you to acknowledge what? Your place in allowing HUD to be the slush fund for the secret space program." — Henry Zebrowski

The episode begins with a discussion on the concept of secret space programs and the potential for government entities like HUD to be involved in clandestine funding.

This discussion touches on the nature of "disclosure" and whether it serves to inform or distract the public.
The conversation navigates through various anecdotal stories and hypothetical scenarios, including the idea of aliens conducting experiments with humans and the potential for a "galactic federation." The hosts express skepticism while also entertaining the fantastical elements of these claims, often using humor and sarcasm.
