Summary
"Underwhelming" is one of the more polite words used to discuss the first Congressional hearing on UAP in more than 50 years. You'll hear plenty of tougher words from Bryce and Ross, as well as from the podcast's very first guest: Lue Elizondo, formerly with the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATTIP), the Defense Dept. unit that studied UAP. The not-quite 90-minute hearing by the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterintelligence, Counterterrorism, and Counterproliferation yielded a lot of narrowly-focused questions and fuzzy answers, according to both our guests and hosts.

| 1:05.2 | which means I was up at 6 o'clock listening to them. And while I was, you know, patting myself on the back for being able to get up and be lucid at that time, I had to think, you must have been listening to him, what, like one in the morning or what was your issue? Yeah, let's just say, mate, it's pretty bloody obvious. I haven't had my beauty sleep last night. I've drunk a lot of coffee this morning. But Bryce, there's one thing |

| 1:39.1 | what we would call in Australia and forgive the vulgarity, a turd tied up with a bow to make it look pretty. |
| 1:46.2 | It was a disgusting performance by a bunch of fairly lackluster representatives who did not do |
| 1:53.3 | their job as an oversight committee. Do you disagree? Okay, shows over, folks. That's pretty well |
