From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events.

You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.

A production of IHeartRadie. Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt. Our colleague Noel is on an adventure,

but we'll be returning shortly. They call me Ben. We're joined, as always, with our super

producer, Dylan, the Tennessee pal Fagan most importantly you are you

you are here that makes this the stuff they don't want you to know now uh Matt Dylan have you

ever visited the Black Hills or what we call Mount Rushmore today nay I have not have you

I have not it Have you? I have not.

It's something that honestly I've been conflicted about visiting over the decades, because

you know, there's this ongoing controversy which we'll get into about Mount Rushmore.

And when we're talking about Mount Rushmore, really, it's a national

park site, but we're usually going to be referring to the gigantic sculpture out there in the

Black Hills region of South Dakota. It's one of the most iconic landmarks in all of the United

States, you know, recognized internationally right up there with

the Statue of Liberty. And every so often, since this thing was constructed, a president from one

party or another will tacitly start to feel out the vibe and see if they can get their face added

onto it.

Oh, sick.

I mean, there's room.

There's that little nook in between two of the faces where you could clearly put somebody in there.

Yeah, you could, but should you?

You know what I mean?
