About the episode

This week on Wait a Second…, Jason Concepcion and Tyler Parker are joined once again by Chris Ryan. They cover the JFK assassination, the CIA’s potential involvement, the conspiracy theories that followed, and their myriad cultural ripple effects since 1963. Later on in The Doomscroll: The guys evaluate Benjamin Netanyahu’s evidently AI-enhanced proof of life video, scrutinize a UFO sighting in Queens, and debate whether the disappearance of an American aviation expert could actually be a clandestine defection to a rival superpower.
