I’ve been following RedLetterMedia since the early days, and I'll freely admit that I have a parasocial relationship with them and use them as a friend simulator. Over the years I’ve collected a bunch of strange stories, rumors, and inconsistencies. One of the weirdest, and least talked about, is what happened to them in early 2019. I’ve pieced this together from a mix of offhand comments and a bizarre NDA-protected story shared anonymously on a now-defunct film forum. Believe what you want, but here's what I found:

RLM reportedly received a high-level offer to consult on, or even create, a film project in Los Angeles. It was never clear who exactly made the offer. The communication came through non-traditional channels (private courier letter, not email), and it was unusually formal.
Rich Evans mentioned it one time during a now-deleted Patreon Q&A (said something about “some weird LA crap.”) and Mike quickly changed the conversation.
Mike, Jay and Rich flew out to L.A. for a weekend in February. No videos were posted that week, and Mike later said in a livestream that they were “busy with some things, nothing exciting." Flight records (yes, someone checked) confirm all three were in L.A. for just under 72 hours.
No social media posts, no fan sightings. Very out of character.
Here’s where it gets strange. An anonymous story posted in April 2019 on the forum FilmDepth (long since shut down and seemingly buried by every search engine out there) claimed a friend worked valet at a private residence in the Hollywood Hills. That weekend, they said, three “Midwestern guys” were brought to a gated estate after midnight. The description of the estate matches old records of a Cold War-era property once owned by a CIA-affiliated production company. It’s not listed anymore.
