- My general thought
on a conspiracy theory
is I think they're fun.
- I'd say if the argument is set up
well, if you give me enough evidence
that is circumstantial, I
can probably be convinced.
- Just because we can't prove something
doesn't mean it's real.
- I personally am a skeptic
of conspiracy theories.
- It allows ourselves to either
think more outside the box
of what is possible at all times.
- I'm very selective with
my conspiracy theories.
So it's either I very much believe it,
I'm like yeah I'm here.
Or it's like no tolerance.
- I don't know how much I believe them.
- I'm gonna be ranking
some conspiracy theories
on their believability.
- One being least possible
and five being most possible.
- Ugh, I forgot conspiracy
theories freak me out, too.
Okay, all right, I can do this, right?
I can do it.
I don't live alone, okay.

- Snapchat doesn't just scan your face
to put on a filter, they
also add your photos
to a government facial
recognition database.
- I don't think it's that farfetched.
- That's actually pretty believable, okay.
- This is not farfetched,
this is not science fiction.
This is real, this science's real.
Okay?
It's five.
- This one I feel like
is pretty believable.
I'd give it a four
because why wouldn't this be true?
- I would say a four.
- I'm gonna give that a five.
- The believability, I'd give it a five.
- Eh, a four.
- Four out of five.
- I trust nothing with technology
that could track my face
in such acute ways.
- The moon landing was faked.
- This is a classic one.
- The space race was
strong in the late sixties
and beating the Russians
was very important
to the United States.
- This already sounds believable.
- Unfortunately, they did
not have the technology yet,
so they faked the moon landing.
- I don't know about that.
I don't know about that.
- I do not think this one is fake
because as a filmmaker,
I just happen to know
that filming the actual moon landing
would've been far more
technologically advanced
than just taking a guy to the moon.
- I don't really see a
lot of weight in this one,
so I'm gonna give it a one out of five.
- I would rate this one a one.
- Man, I just don't trust a
lot of people in this story.
I'm gonna give it a three.
- It's fun to think about,
but maybe it's a two.
- That's a three.
- I'm gonna give it a three.
- I'm gonna rank this
five out of, no wait,
zero out of five.
This one's bull (bleep).
- The US government once had a time travel
and teleportation program
called Project Pegasus.
- Oh!
Andrew Ba-sigh-yag.
- Buh-sigh-yo.
- Basiago.
- Bas-igo.
- Ba-sag-io
- I don't know how to say his last name.
How do you say it?
- [Producer] Nobody knows.
- Andrew Basiago
claims he was a participant in the program
when he was a preteen.
- The government used kids his age
because they had an advantage over adults
in terms of adapting to
the strains of moving
between the past, present, and future.
- Okay, why would you want a preteen,
the most emotional person?
The worst person to make any decisions
or to keep a secret, for that matter?
- I think this is a
three on believability,
just because they never said
that they actively time travel,
they said that the government tried
to do a time travel program.
- Maybe they were worried that
if you went too far ahead,
older people would just died
because they'd be old or something.
I'm gonna say four out of five.
- I would give this a five
'cause this seems very believable.
- I don't doubt that at
some point the government
was interested in something like this,
but I don't know
how far this goes, whether this
guy was actually part of it
or if they were able to "do this."
It seems unlikely.
Again, a two.
- I mean, it's a great
Netflix original series.
I think this could be, I wanna watch it.
I don't know how believable it is.
I'll give it a three out of five.
- I would say that this is a two.
- Gonna give it a one.
- Ugh, I just love the
name Project Pegasus.
- We are living in a simulated reality
and nothing is actually real.
Humans are living in a science fiction
like computer simulation,
controlled by other living beings.
Five out of five.
There's a game called the Sims
and it's basically the same thing.
- First of all, holy bananas
because what is this
weird conspiracy theory
that freaks the crap outta me?
I'm judging myself right now but I'm gonna
give this one a five.
- I love the idea of that
'cause it makes me feel better
about all my bad decisions,
so I'm gonna give that a three
and a half!
- I don't know.
I think that's a two.
- It'd be really cool
if this was true, but.
I don't necessarily believe it
'cause I need more evidence,
which I'm kinda sad about.
I would say that's probably a one.
- I'm gonna give this
one a one out of five,
mostly because I don't want
it to be true, I think.
- Do I think this is happened?
Yes, but I'm not gonna
try and sell you on it,
don't worry about that.
It's a 1/5.
I'm not gonna sell you on
it, but it's a five for me,
so you know.
- General thoughts are I
do believe the government
is up to some (bleep).
- I love conspiracy theories
'cause they keep the secrets
on their toes because you
never know which one's
gonna be real, which
one's not gonna be real.
- Definitely thought they
were gonna be way weirder.
Like I thought we were gonna
go down this weird thing
of cats secretly run the universe
and we all don't know about it and
that's why we all have them in our house.
I thought this was gonna be weird,
these really weren't that weird.
- They're fun.
No one can say they're not fun.
- I can see how someone came up with it,
but I don't think that
there's a lot of weight to it,
and there's some that I'm like,
yeah, let's play ball.
I like it.
- I don't know, man, it's hard.
It's kinda a gray area, I mean, you just
gotta go with what you think is right.
In a lot of these cases,
a lot of people don't
wanna buy into it, and that's cool too.
That's their choice.
That's their own conspiracy
theory is they wanna be sheeple.
- People are really (bleep)ing crazy.
