GATE’s Spy Kids, DOGE’s Glam Girl, and Standup Surprises 🕵️♀️
This week on That Was Wild, Adam Macias and Bethany Michaels dive into some of the most mind-bending stories of the week. First up, we unpack the Gifted Intelligence Program of the '90s, which might’ve secretly been a CIA training program. Sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, right? Well, former GATE students are now wondering if they were unknowingly trained for covert missions. From Morse code worksheets to speaking Russian as a ten-year-old—what were they really preparing us for? 🕵️♂️🔐
Even wilder, Bethany shares her family’s experience with the GATE program—and some Remote Viewing and Men Who Stare at Goats-style tests she had to take. Were they preparing her for government spy work, too?
Next, we get into the drama surrounding McLaurine Pinover, the Director of Communications for the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), also known as D.O.G.E. She sparked major controversy by filming fashion influencer videos from her government office while advocating for mass federal layoffs to “increase efficiency.” Who says you can’t do fashion and chaos at the same time? 💼📸
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier, Adam and Bethany swap wild open mic stories—including the time two comedians discovered they were talking on Hinge while one of them was on stage. Spoiler: It got really awkward. So grab your conspiracy theories, lace up your sneakers, and get ready for a rollercoaster of drama, mystery, and laughs.
