Ten Minutes of Truth

What if the craziest conspiracy… is not believing in aliens anymore? Even comedians are getting in on the alien act.

 

If you’ve ever wondered whether aliens are real — or if the government is hiding something — this episode might flip your perspective completely. By the end of this, you’ll understand why UFOs are no longer a fringe topic… and why even mainstream voices are starting to sound like insiders.

 

In this episode of Barrett and Baxa, Steve and Bob break down the sudden shift in how media, politicians, and even comedians like Bill Maher are talking about aliens, UFO sightings, and government disclosure. From Barack Obama’s cryptic comments to military pilots reporting physics-defying aircraft, the narrative is changing fast — and not in a subtle way.

 

And let’s be honest… when Congress holds hearings, the Pentagon releases footage, and comedians start joking like it’s already confirmed — that’s not random. That’s a pattern. Whether aliens are biological, AI, or something we don’t even understand yet, one thing is clear: the “crazy” position might now be not believing at all. So buckle up — because if this is a slow drip toward disclosure… we’re a lot closer than people think.

You’re about to find out why every CAPTCHA you’ve ever clicked may have been quietly turning you into unpaid labor for Big Tech. In this episode of Barrett and Baxa, we break down how Google’s CAPTCHA system evolved from a simple “prove you’re human” test into a massive AI training machine—and why billions of people have unknowingly helped build artificial intelligence one click at a time.

 

From identifying bicycles and traffic lights to helping train self-driving cars, those annoying little image puzzles may have been doing a lot more than stopping bots. We connect the dots between AI training, data harvesting, and the growing influence of tech companies—and ask the uncomfortable question: are we benefiting from this… or getting played?

 

Plus, we dive into real-world AI failures, self-driving car risks, and why the technology we’re supposed to trust still gets basic things dangerously wrong. If you’ve ever clicked “select all images with a traffic light,” this episode will change the way you see the internet forever.

This ONE video may have just destroyed an entire TV franchise…

 

If you want to understand how a single viral video can cost a network millions—and possibly destroy a 20+ year franchise—you’re in the right place.

 

In this episode of Barrett and Baxa, we break down the shocking moment that led ABC to cancel an entire season of The Bachelorette just days before it was set to air. From the explosive TMZ footage to the behind-the-scenes fallout, this story reveals how quickly reality TV can turn into a real-life liability. We comment on TMZ founder Harvey Levin’s reaction to his channel’s video ‘get’ and the domino effect the breakdown creates.

 

With humor, media insight, and a dose of brutal honesty, we dive into the economics of television, the risks of casting decisions, and how one scandal can ripple through advertisers, production crews, and even entire cities. If you think reality TV is real… this episode might change your mind.

We built a podcast from NOTHING… and didn’t even meet in person for a year.

 

If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast… this episode reveals exactly what it’s like - from finding the equipment and subject matter, to the time and frustration that is just plain reality. Barrett and Baxa break down exactly how they went from zero experience to over 100 episodes, thousands of followers, and more than a million views—without even meeting in person for an entire year.

 

In this behind-the-scenes retrospective, Steve and Bob revisit the wild ride of launching a podcast during one of the most chaotic news cycles in recent history—covering everything from Trump-era headlines, viral media moments, and cultural controversies to the real grind of building a show across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more. Along the way, they reveal what worked, what didn’t, and why “Podcasting for Dummies” might not be the worst place to start.

 

Plus, the moment you’ve been waiting for: the first in-person meeting between two hosts who hadn’t seen each other in over a decade. It’s part reunion, part reality check, and part masterclass in how to grow a podcast from nothing—even if you’re making it up as you go.

Steve Barrett has worked with thousands of journalist throughout his 35 year career - but never had a conversation this good! Longtime national TV broadcaster Sage Steele is now the host of The Sage Steele Show on YouTube and all podcast platforms.  Previously, she was a fixture at ESPN from 2007-2023, primarily hosting the network’s flagship show, SportsCenter. In this episode of Barrett and Baxa, Sage talks with Steve about the collapse of trust in mainstream media - and how Americans can learn to believe what they hear again (if that’s possible).

 

In a sharp, funny, and surprisingly personal conversation, Steve and Sage break down the collapse of journalism, parents in newsrooms, the rise of media bias, the fear that keeps big public figures quiet, and why independent media is probably the future. If you’ve been watching the slow unraveling of traditional news and wondering what happened, this episode gives you the inside view from someone who lived it.

 

It's a wide-ranging discussion about free speech, cancel culture, newsroom culture, media credibility, and the political and cultural forces that changed journalism. They talk about the Obama years, Trump-era media shifts, sports media becoming political, why journalists stopped hiding their opinions, and how podcasts and independent creators are replacing old-school gatekeepers. Sage also opens up about losing friendships, speaking out on controversial issues, protecting women’s sports, and what it really costs to tell the truth in public.

 

It’s part media autopsy, part free speech debate, and part reunion between two veteran journalists who have seen the business from the inside. Along the way, there are laughs, a little nostalgia, some painful honesty, and a lot of hard truths. This Barrett and Baxa conversation with Sage Steele is one you don’t want to miss.
