Hi friends -
Coming to you with another script, this time from my video on the people who got crazy rich off of the war in Afghanistan.
Hope you guys enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at the scripting process - it's just one element of all the researching, filming, and editing that goes into the channel.
Thanks as always for supporting - and more soon.

Hey friends -
This month's "map" is not so much a map, and more of a collage relating to my recent videos covering the ongoing conflict in Ukraine with Russia.
On that video page, we've been raising funds for Save the Children - Ukraine, who are on the ground on the border, providing people with life-saving assistance as they flee the conflict.
Together we've raised an incredible $256,582 so far. Ther...

Hi friends - This month's script is from my recent video on China and Taiwan.
We know it's been an intense few weeks in the world, and it has been for us too as we've put our efforts towards creating these videos for you. We hope you've found them informative and intriguing.
More to come soon. Be well.

Hi all-
This month's map background is a nod to the entire 'How the US Stole..." series. We had a lot of fun thinking this one up for you, and I hope you enjoy it!
Talk soon.

So, without further ado, the script for How Justin Timberlake Escaped #NippleGate.
How's the New Year treating you so far? More from me soon.

Hey friends! This month's map background is from the last video on The 3 Strangest Borders on Earth.
I've got another really interesting video coming up for you soon - I'm very eager to hear what you think!

Happy new year, friends!
This script was super interesting to research and work on creating for all of you - I hope you found The 3 Strangest Borders on Earth to be as intriguing as I did.
This year's videos are going to be deeper, more journalistic, more investigative than any I've ever done. I'm going to be leaning into deeper dives and scouring the world for interesting stories and compelling evidence. Thanks ...

Hey friends! As you can see, this latest video was B-A-N-A-N-A-S. I really enjoyed deep diving on this one, and I hope you do too.
One of the coolest parts of this community for me is being able to give you some insight into my process behind-the-scenes. So I wanted to share the script for my recent video: “How the US Stole Central America (With Bananas)“.
Hope you all have a very happy holidays!

Hey friends! The final episode of Uncharted season one comes out next week. I wanted to try a new map style - and get all of your eyes on it as well. Here is a peek of Ep.4: "Living in a country that doesn't exist"
As always, THANK YOU for being here. I am eternally grateful for you all.

Hey friends! I hope you have been enjoying the first few episodes of Uncharted. It feels SO good to be back in the field, and I could not have gotten here without this community.
This month I wanted to share the script for my recent video: "How the US Stole Panama".
Next month I will share a script from Cyprus - Uncharted, but the question is, which script do you want to see? Let me know in the co...
Hey all!
I wanted to share this script this month with you. This is for my video a while back about volcanoes, and WOW was this interesting to research.
I hope you have been enjoying Uncharted. More coming soon!!
Hey Friends!
You may have seen the last video I published (I'm going back to what I do best), BUT, I’m excited to share that I’ll be focusing on bigger and more in-depth investigative projects in the coming months… including a four-part series I can’t wait for you to see. If all goes according to plan in the technology world, episode 1 of Uncharted will be up TOMORROW (10/14).
These are the types of ...
Hey friends! This is a map background from my recent video about the COVID lab leak theory. Enjoy :)

Hey all!
It was seriously so nice to have our smaller AMA on Discord a few weeks ago. I loved connecting with those of you who could make it, and I am as grateful as ever for you all.
Here is the script for my video "How Nukes Gave Us Godzilla, The Bikini, and so much more"
I hope this is helpful! What did you all think of the video? Curious to hear back in the comments!
Hi all! Here is a friendly reminder that we will be having a live AMA with our Patreon community at 1:30 EST today! Looking forward to getting to meet you all!
(see previous post for details)
Hey all! I wanted to hop on and let you all know about a live event I am putting on next week that is exclusive to you patreon subscribers!
I will be going live at 1:30pm EST on the 6th, and would love for you to join me.
Come the 8th I will be doing a much larger AMA that is open to everyone, and I will be mentioning it on my channel. Because that event will likely be much larger, I wanted to first have a smaller group setting with just us. SO, mark your calendars, get those questions ...
Hey all! Not only is this a map for you, but also a sneak peek into a video that is being published in TWO days!
You may have noticed that I have been making a variety of videos lately, ranging from talking about ice cream to shampoo. A bit different than my normal geopolitical explainers. What do you think? What do you want to see more of? Let me know in the comments!
Hey everyone!
This video was an interesting one. Many of you ask what my research process is like, so I have included my "brain dump" beneath the script on this link. I hope you enjoyed the video!

Hi friends!
Here is a map background for you! I Included the original map I found on the internet as well, for those of you interested.
A LOT has been happening production wise (and on the YouTube side of things) in the past month, and I am so grateful to have each of you here, behind the scenes, supporting me and my work.

Wow. This video went CRAZY.
Many of you requested to see my script for this video, so here it is! What did you think about the Ice Cream Machine vid?
Something fun about documentaries is that you never really know how things will play out, so you will see in the script that I was hoping for the drive thru intercom to say specific phrases, which didn't end up happening (many more examples in the script). I hope you enjoyed the video, and I hope you enjoy looking through the scrip...

Hello all!
This is a very highly requested script, so I am excited to share it with you. This story was one of the first "current events" style video that has been published on my channel, so we really blitzed to get this story researched, and posted.
I know it has been a month or so, but what did you all think of the video? Had you heard about Navalny before this?

Hey all!
I have seen MANY of you reach out either via comment or in my inbox about wanting an interactive map to go along with David Vines map of the US Military. For now, that is sadly on the back burner, but I don't want to keep you waiting! Like I said in the video, some of these we know exist, but we don't know the exact location. So, here is a link to the dataset I used! All credit to David Vine!

Hi all!
This is a high res version of the map I used in my recent video about the US Military!
What did you think of the video? Do you live near a base? I see some of you have replied on the form, as well as messaged me about it! I love to hear these stories!
