What if the CIA is Running a Secret Human/Alien Breeding Program to Help Fight Climate Change?

TL;DR

The clickbait title is an April Fools joke; the actual video is just the host playing a themed Connections puzzle.

Key Points

  • 1.The title is a complete April Fools' Day misdirect. The video has no CIA, alien, or climate content — the host explicitly admits he doesn't even know what he titled it by the end.
  • 2.The puzzle is a modified Connections game with hidden/reversed text clues. Categories include classic movies (Back to the Future, Top Gun, Singin' in the Rain, Blue Velvet), bands (Green Day, Three Doors Down, Pink Floyd, U2), beers (Red Stripe, Miller High Life, Blue Moon, Dos Equis), and city nicknames (Mile High City, Big Apple, Second City, Big Easy).
  • 3.The host struggles significantly with the reversed/acrostic text format. He misidentifies Blue Moon as a song, the Big Easy as a movie, and takes considerable time decoding 'EHT OT ERUTUF' as Back to the Future.
  • 4.The host scores 3 out of 5 and manages to get the purple (hardest) category first. He also soft-launches an unannounced podcast and promotes Good Do store's Brightbar breakfast blend tea, noting all profits go to charity.

Life's too short for long videos.
