Bohemian Grove: Where Power Goes to Get Weird

Every July, a few hundred of the most powerful men on the planet head into the California redwoods to “relax.” They wear robes. They burn effigies. They chant in front of a giant concrete owl. Also? They’re presidents, billionaires, and the guys who control your mortgage rates.

This episode pulls back the (very expensive, very exclusive) curtain on Bohemian Grove—a private club where the world’s most influential men have been gathering for over a century. It started with poets and whiskey. It evolved into a networking hub for people who casually launch wars and nukes. We’ll dig into who’s there, what happens, and why it makes people both laugh… and lose their minds.

Featuring real infiltrations, leaked footage, Cold War brainstorming sessions, and a ritual that looks like it was written by someone who thought Eyes Wide Shut was too subtle. You’ll never look at an owl—or a policy summit—the same way again.
