Joe Rogan Experience #2570 - Mystery Boys · Aired Oct 23, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Old news reports describe Smithsonian giant bones, including 12-foot-tall skeletons with six fingers and six toes.
The finding
What remains unresolved
The claim invokes old news reports but identifies no specific specimen, measured skeleton or museum accession. Such a report's existence would not verify its contents. This review did not authenticate a matching 12-foot, six-fingered Smithsonian specimen or a specific primary report containing all those details. Our first-pass blanket dismissal was broader than the inspected evidence, so the specific story remains unresolved.
No supporting source was captured. This finding should not be treated as a sourced conclusion.
