Ep. #91 - What If You Found An Out Of Place Artifact? Part 2 - Nazca Lines, Antikythera Mechanism Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

There are simply far too many out of place artifacts in human history for us to do only one episode on the subject. This week we're back for part two of the strange and fascinating topic of things that seem as though they shouldn't be where - and when - they are.

Spencer dives into the Nazca Lines, and we discuss the massive crop-circle-style land carvings of 2,000 years ago, drawn into rock and illustrating monkeys, spiders, spider monkeys, monkey spiders, and maybe - just maybe, constellations.
Then, Ryan tells us about the Antikythera Mechanism - the oldest computer known to man, mapping stars in the sky to gears in a box on the ground. Found in a shipwreck in the early 1900's, the secrets of this artifact were only uncovered in the last 10 to 15 years.
Hot Topics: Barry Manilow the Alien, How to Get Abducted in 5 Features, Babies Digging Trenches, The Old Greek Dudes, and much more.

Ep. #90 - What If You Found An Out Of Place Artifact? Part 1 - Quimbaya Artifacts, Baghdad Battery, Saqqara Bird Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Our human understanding of history dictates general timelines for what certain civilizations knew, and when they likely knew it. But that history is based on written and illustrated records, along with the things we've uncovered in archaeological discoveries.
What if our timeline is off? What if those civilizations knew things before we thought they did? And what if we already have evidence of their genius and advanced technology sitting in our museums today? On this week's episode, we discuss out of place artifacts they may evidence a different human experience than we ever thought.

Hot Topics: I Believe I Can Fly, Strangers with Scar Stories, Bear Freestyle #1, Gold Bugs with Airplane Tendencies

There's too dang many alien abduction stories in this world for us to only dedicate one episode to it. That's why we're back to talk about martian communication and alien abduction again to tell the stories of folks who say they've been taken up into the skies.
This week we tell the story of lumberjack Travis Walton, whose abduction was witnessed by five coworkers and disappeared into the Arizona wilderness. Five days later, he returned to tell an incredible story of alien abduction, examination, exploration, and return.

Ep. #88 - What If You Were Abducted By Aliens? - Part 1 - Abduction Phenomenon, John E. Mack Jul 04, 2018

Show notes

For decades, people have gone on record with a surprising level of consistency, telling stories of their experience being abducted by aliens. Bright lights, paralysis, transportation, experimentation, and a whole lot more. But we do avoid saying the phrase "anal probe," which we're pretty proud of. Well. Until now. Dammit.
On this episode of The What If? Podcast, we discuss this lasting phenomenon, tell the story of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker and their abduction from the shores of a river in Mississippi. We also play some listener voicemails from our many buddies, and discuss the joys of new home ownership.

Ep. #87 - What If You Made A Black Hole In Your Basement? - CERN, Large Hadron Collider Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Conspiracies abound from the past decade, swirling around a laboratory in Geneva that houses the world's largest machine - the Large Hadron Collider, brought to all of us by the folks at CERN. Are they summoning demons? Are they opening portals to another dimension? Are they creating black holes in their basement, and none of us can know? Are they just doing things so smart that we all get scared?

Ep. #85 - What If A Cult Nuked the Australian Desert? Jun 13, 2018

Show notes

Look guys, cults are bad. HECK. We can all agree. But sometimes they do stuff that's just crazy for us to tell the story of anyway. In 1993, a Japanese cult that had spread throughout the world, may have just done something as crazy as nuking the Australian desert in an effort to bring about a new armageddon. Sound wild enough for y'all? It's wild enough for us - so strap into your seats, and hold onto your butts - it's another episode of The What If? Podcast.

The fifth highest mountain peak in California has a history unlike any other mountain peak in the world. Dating back to the mid-1800s, residents, explorers, and visitors alike have wild stories that range from aliens and UFO sightings, to Bigfootses (Bigfeet? Bigfeetses? Nevermind...) lost civilizations, and a whole lot more. On this part one of a two-part episode, we explore the strange, scary, mysterious and maybe most of all goofy legends of Mount Shasta.
