Thu, 03 Apr 2025
In this electrifying episode, I sit down with the legendaryRandall Carlson to unravel the mysteries of ancient cataclysms, hidden technologies, and lost civilizations. We explore Malcolm Bendall’s revolutionary work, the mind-blowing concept of the Thunderstorm Generator and its connection to UAPs, and the puzzling phenomena of underfit rivers and the Carolina Bays. Randall dives deep into catastrophic outburst floods that reshaped Earth’s history and shares compelling evidence of 40,000-year-old boats and ancient fishermen. We cap it off with a fascinating discussion about Atlantis, the Azores, and what these submerged mysteries might tell us about our forgotten past. Get ready for an eye-opening journey that challenges everything we thought we knew!

Chapter 1: What evidence supports the idea of ancient cataclysms?
What we're seeing here is evidence that planet Earth is part of a much larger cosmic ecosystem and that sometimes things happen in the cosmos and it translates directly into events down here below in the surface of the planet. The question is not, does it work? The question is, how does it work? To me, I look at it and go, this is, it's transmutation, it's alchemy.
Chapter 2: Who is Malcolm Bendall and what is his significance?
So many anomalous things that they don't fit the standard narrative of history. And at some point we got to say, okay, we have to reconsider our models. We're looking at the peak discharge that created Grand Coulee. It might've been 350 million cubic feet per second. That's 10 times more. than the combined flow of every single river on Earth.
Well, now it suddenly became apparent that the disappearance of the ice was way quicker than anybody had imagined. The two possibilities, impact, hypervelocity impact, and some type of a solar event. To transport this stone would have required such a massive effort. It implies social organization on a level that we hadn't even conceived of before. The Sphinx has to get pushed back.
Where's the Sphinx get pushed back to, do you think?
Oh, I think it gets pushed back well into the prehistory. The biggest earthquake in North America was the Great Earthquake in Alaska, right at just about nine on the Richter scale. So there were earthquakes at the end of the last ice age that were a hundred times greater than that. There's a lot of controversy around Malcolm.
His backstory is quite interesting, but I've been able to vet it, and I had a long conversation with Roland Perry, who's, Australia's probably one of his top-selling authors of Australia, and he's known Malcolm for years, and wrote a fictional book based upon Malcolm's real experiences from when he was an oil prospector, like a maverick. And he had into a big conflict with – was it Chevron?
It was one of the big oil companies that was trying to – he had drilling rights. He had license for drilling rights in Tasmania, and they were trying to get a hold of that. But – I tell people, look, there's Malcolm, the mad scientist, and then there's his research. And you've got to separate those. I mean, if you look at a lot of the things that have come out, look at Edison.
If you want to do a hit piece on Edison, that would be quite easy to do. But the work has been verified. There's been at least a half a dozen independent tests of it.
Yeah, that's cool. So, yeah, I didn't realize. I wanted to actually hear your thoughts on Malcolm and see what the latest was, if anything.
Well, the latest is he's over in India because India wants to use this technology on their smokestacks. They're building all these coal-fired plants there.

Chapter 3: What is the Thunderstorm Generator and its implications?
They put me at the same hotel I'm at. Now, so when I come in, I'm like, wait, am I having deja vu or have I been here before? And then I went up to the registration desk and I asked the guy, he says, do you have a record of, because I told you, I says, I know I've been here before, you know, but I couldn't remember, you know, when would I have been here?
And then I went up to the registration desk and the young guy, no, I don't find your name in the records anywhere. And then the guy next there says, Randall, is that you? Hey, it's Rory. And I go, oh. I remember you. Yeah. We met when I was here a couple of years ago. So I was here and then I thought about it and he says, yeah, that was when you were Fox news put you up.
And, uh, but anyways, uh, that's where I met him. I met Malcolm at that hotel. Right. So I had gone on Joe Rogan and, um, I kind of misunderstood a little bit. I kind of gave away too much details because I was on there with Graham Hancock. And before we go in, Graham says, you know, let's stay away from the ancient energy and all of that because that's where it gets controversial.
And I said, sure, whatever, you know, I'm your guest. So, you know, if you don't want to talk about that, we won't talk about that. You know, halfway through, the question comes up of, you know, well, how did Rogan, it's like, how did they move these big rocks, these, you know, 20 and 30 and 50-ton stones?
Kind of had to answer at that point.
Well, then Graham kind of looks to me.
Okay.
And so I kind of mentioned, yeah, well, there might be this technology that, Might've been, you know, but I'm at that point, I'm still vetting it. I'm, and, uh, if you ever watched that episode where I'm on there with Graham, you'll see that I'm like hemming and hawing.
And I've seen all of them. They're, they're classics by the way.

Chapter 4: What are underfit rivers and why are they important?
We go to breakfast, and it turns out that one of the associates here who actually was with the World Bank lets Malcolm know that I'd apparently, because I had mentioned Mazda. Right, right. And there was a nondescript... didn't know non-disclosure agreement. Um, so he was on his way to Japan to do damage control. And I'm like, Oh my God, look, I'm nobody. What am I?
You know, this World Bank is on its way to Japan to do damage control. Right. So I'm like, Oh my God. You know, then a day or two goes by, we're having breakfast at an outdoor cafe and I'm Malcolm's phone rings, and he answers it. It's the same fellow. He says, well, it turns out it's cool. They saw their, after this comments, their stock shot up.
Yeah, I think I actually bought some Mazda stock right after I heard you say that. Oh, really? I actually did. I held it for like three months waiting for it to pop, and it just never did.
Oh. Well, I don't think they followed through on it, but yeah.
That's funny. I contributed to that.
Yeah, okay, see, small world, I guess. So, yeah, just it got wild. And then, yeah, it's gone from there. So, you know, I really took a deep dive in to try to understand the technology. And, you know, I've got a pretty good idea now, but, you know, it's still, the question now is not, does it work? It works.
Too many people have seen it work, independent people who are skeptical, who came in and said, eh. And then the question is not, does it work? The question is, how does it work? And that's, that's the controversy and it's quite remarkable. Uh, the results. I mean, it's to me, I look at it and go, this is it's transmutation. It's alchemy. It's like a recovery of alchemy. I it's all I can say.
But, yeah, so then – Why do you think it hasn't been, like, recognized as – or adopted yet or recognized as, like, more mainstream, more outside of, you know, the Malcolms of the world and a couple other people that, you know – Well, I think it, you know, it kind of steps on maybe some corporate toes.
I mean, it's – it's going to, if it does become mainstream, it's absolutely going to revolutionize the industrial landscape of the planet. I mean, I'm convinced of that because of what it does. And I mean, once you start looking into it, you go, yeah, this is like next level stuff here, what he's doing. And there's other independent researchers that have come up with similar things.

Chapter 5: How do catastrophic outburst floods reshape landscapes?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, so when we go in there and Jamie had pulled up all of this stuff, this whole thing with shale oil. and uh their their strategy was basically we see it in politics now all the time to basically paint him as a charlatan and um and that that's when we walked in jamie had printed out all of this stuff and it was joe do nothing about any of it now he's looking at all of this stuff and uh
So that's the extent of his knowledge.
So he just hadn't really dove deep enough into it. The problem is now is again, there's way too many independent people that have been involved with it. And like I said, skeptics, um, that have, you know, tested it rigorously. I've been present when, you know, scientists from Los Alamos laboratory are testing it. Right. And they're like, okay, this works.
But, you know, he's a controversial character. And when you hear his story, it sounds unbelievable. That's why Roland Perry wrote it up as a fictional account. But from my knowledge, I haven't seen anything outside of the fact that he had this whole period where they were trying to scare away investors.
And so they bribed journalists, they bribed politicians in Australia and Tasmania to create this impression. And the problem is, I guess you could say, is Malcolm, you know, like I said, he's an eccentric character.
So, you know, when you start interviewing him, you know, and you've got this context of, you know, that he is this whatever grifter or whatever, and then you're talking to him, you know, some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is pretty unbelievable. Yeah. And he says he got in a gunfight with assassins. And Joe was like, get out of here.
Yeah, but you've seen the pictures of him in the hospital.
Yeah, and I've talked to Roland. And Roland, like I said, he's highly credible. You look him up, he's probably one of Australia's best-selling authors. And he's also got connections. He was an investigative journalist. And he said, yeah, I spent five years investigating him. So, so there's this whole other backstory that Joe was completely unfamiliar with. Gotcha.

Chapter 6: What do ancient fishermen and 40,000-year-old boats tell us?
An esker, like if you've got a fracture in the ice sheet and water is flowing through that fracture and it's laden with sediment, and then when the final flow disperses, it leaves this sinuous trail of till, serpentine almost like, and that'll be an esker. Drumlins are extremely interesting. Drumlins only show up where the glaciers have been.
Because you can see if water is discharging from the glacier, like you see in this image here, as soon as it moves outside the glacier itself, it now has a free surface. So it changes the whole... pressure regime of that water flow. When it's still under the ice sheet, you know, you've got this roof, you've got this lid.
So if you've got a lot of water melting, flowing under there, it's now, it's got much greater pressure on its bottom. So what it does is it takes that ground mass, the till, which is completely chaotic and disorganized, and it begins to shape it into these aerodynamic or fluvial dynamic would be a more correct term, uh, elongated shapes that are almost like the inverted hull of a boat or a canoe.
Um, and there can be thousands of them. Um, tell you what, Ryan, if you go, uh, go to Google maps, are we still in terrain view? Uh, perfect. Okay. So now go over to Lake Ontario, New York, Western New York. You're going to see something that's pretty amazing here. Okay, you see Rochester there. Okay, before you zoom in, stop right there for a second, okay?
So you got the southern shore of Lake Ontario, and then you see the Finger Lakes? Okay, the Finger Lakes are produced by catastrophic outburst flooding. And when they were formed, it's almost certain that the margin of the ice sheet Corresponded with the northern edges, the northern end of the Finger Lakes. One thing to notice if you look at the lakes, they actually are radial. You can see they...
They converge onto an area. If you draw along the axis of those Finger Lakes, they converge on a point in a basin in Eastern Ontario. Now, yeah, now start zooming in just above. Okay, we're starting to see the Drumlin swarms. Zoom in a little more, Ryan. Go up. There we go. Zoom in on those. You see all those forms, those elongated hills? That is a drumlin swarm.
And this was formed by catastrophic subglacial, highly pressurized water flowing. And then when it discharged from the ice sheet, it carved the finger lakes.
So, so the ice sheet was sitting on top of those and then the water was carving was underneath the ice sheet and was creating those shapes on the ground.
And as soon as the water emerges from under the ice sheet, it now has this free surface and the whole pressure regime changes. And so the, the, uh, the drum lens are only going to be found where there were glaciers. And so, I mean, there's thousands of them. Yeah.

Chapter 7: What mysteries surround Atlantis and the Azores?
Yeah. So, so the, the Carolina bays is, is something that I wanted to ask you about, and I don't know if you've done much, much studying into this, but Chris control has done a great job on, on kind of, oh yeah.
Yeah. I, in fact, my studies on the Carolina bays probably preceded Chris. Okay. Okay. I have aerial photographs of the bays that I took in the early 90s when I was trying to figure out what the hell they were.
And I haven't come to any conclusion yet. So do you think it's the same impact then that created the bays that also kind of sparked this?
I don't know. And I'm not convinced this is an impact. But I would lean in the direction that it's the most likely explanation. And I don't think that, yeah. See, my first awareness of the bays, yeah, look at that. They're amazing. Whatever the explanation is, it's amazing. They're incredible. And so I think I first learned about the bays around 1980. I was reading a book called...
I was interested in the whole, okay, so what's the deal on Atlantis, right? And I knew that there had been Ignatius Donnelly, who was from Minnesota, my home state, I'd learned about him, and I looked up, and by the late 70s, I had read during my early catastrophist phase, I'd read two books by him.
One was Atlantis, the antediluvian world, I believe it was, written in like 1882, and then it followed up a year later with Ragnarok, the Age of Fire and Gravel. And I had read those books, and Ignatius Donnelly in Ragnarok, The Age of Fire and Gravel, proposed that Atlantis was destroyed during a much larger catastrophe that was triggered by a comet impact. Now, this is like 1883.
Now, he's generally derisively dismissed by mainstream archaeologists, but really, in a lot of ways, he was ahead of his time. to even be talking about comet impacts causing... Yeah. Now, this is interesting. This is one of the ideas.
And see, at the time I was researching them, I did not know about the oriented lakes of Alaska, which, you know, again, what we've got is this kind of converging trajectory here. And I believe that's based upon the work of... Oh, heck Chris knows him. I know him.
Who Antonio Zamora?

Chapter 8: What can we learn from the Carolina Bays?
There we go. Stop right there. Now zoom in on where it says Sun Lakes Park. That is the Great Cataract Complex right there. Now that is an extraordinary feature. And what we're looking at there is called a recessional cataract. And the water's coming from the north, and it's scouring and sculpting. It's all exposed bedrock terrain, basalt bedrock terrain.
And as that water, the water flowing here was about five miles wide and 400 feet deep. That was roughly the scale. It's from the far left over there where the highway wraps around the cliff. right there over all the way to the far right, uh, right in there. That's between five and six miles wide in there. And like I said, the cliffs are about 400 feet high.
The water flowing down through the coulee was about 400 feet. And, uh, There we go. We're looking down. Yes, there is the, we're looking at the great cataract complex right there. So the water's coming towards us during the peak of the flood.
Now picture this, as the water's coming over, the shearing force, picture this, the water's pouring over and the shearing force is so intense, it's literally quarrying or plucking the stone from the cliff face. Where the cliff is now is essentially where it was at, where it had receded to at the time the spigots from the north finally stopped.
And so what we're looking at is a fossil feature there. It's completely a fossil feature. And again, this is like 350 million cubic feet per second, which is just almost unimaginable. The water level was about the same height, the same depth as the cliffs are high. So at the peak of the flood, it wouldn't have even been a waterfall. It was just a bump in this enormous five mile wide river.
And, uh, Pretty, yeah. This is the kind of thing, when you see this firsthand, it really drives home the scale of these events we're talking about. And then if you follow this South Ryan, you can see that there's all these distributary channels. And then you get down to the mouth there at Soap Lake. South of Soap Lake, you have an outwash plane.
But when you zoom in on, you won't see it here, but put in... Ephrata, E-P-H-R-A-T-A, Ephrata Fan. Let's see, so you've got a couple of thousand square miles of this stuff that you see over on the right, which is When these floods ripped through, creating Grand Coulee, of course, all that material that was formerly part of the bedrock has been ripped out.
And at the mouth of the Coulee, there you can see, you've got hundreds of square miles of that stuff, where it's just massive swarms of boulders. So this was the basalt. that was gouged out in the creation of the coolie.
Right, right. So all the water is forcing itself through a relatively narrow, five miles, but a relatively narrow area. And it's pushing out all the sediment, all the rocks. And so when it opens up, when it gets to the mouth and you've got less pressure, that's where it's depositing all the sediment and all the rocks. And this is an area that's thousands of square kilometers.
