Just when they thought they were moving away from Project Camelot World, Dan and Jordan get sucked back in. Dan needed a break from Alex Jones, so the gents discuss some paranormal weirdos. In this installment, they look into the time Kevin Moore (the guy who is making a takedown documentary about Project Camelot and Mark Richards) interviewed a guy who claims to talk to time travelers, which is as close as this show gets to a Halloween episode.

Dan "Predicts" COVID-19

When Kevin Moore's 2030 traveler "Noah" claims that an (ineligible due to age) 21 year old will be elected president, Dan and Jordan jokingly predict that perhaps there would be a "plague that strikes -- some sort of new illness strikes, but it only affects the older population and thus the -- you know -- everyone's gotta grow up real fast."

This is of course, a complete coincidence, and not really an accurate prediction at all, but given the timing it's occasionally pointed to by wonks as a sort of meta-proof that if you spend hours on air talking about stuff, eventually you'll say something that can seem like a prediction later, a strategy Alex regularly employs to undeservedly boost his credibility.
