    Henry Said My Therapist Wants to F*** Me
    Nov 11 2025

    A woman posts 25+ TikToks about falling in love with her psychiatrist who "manipulated" her by complimenting her glasses. She confides in ChatGPT (named Henry) which validates every delusion. This spirals into a broader discussion about how Ancient Aliens and conspiracy media systematically exploit vulnerable people experiencing mental health crises, turning psychological suffering into profits through algorithmic radicalization and targeted advertising. Also: why capitalism makes this worse, Pigouvian taxes, and that time someone thought an elephant was a mermaid.

  • A Fast Pass To Heaven (Terms and Conditions Apply)

    A Fast Pass To Heaven (Terms and Conditions Apply)
    Nov 4 2025
    Ancient Aliens loves to portray angels not as divine messengers, but as heavenly soldiers armed with advanced weaponry, turning biblical stories into "battle reports" of alien soldiers. But this isn't just a weird sci-fi twist; it taps into a much older, darker tradition. We trace the long, strange history of how Christianity, a religion born from oppressed people, was transformed into a tool for imperial conquest. It's a journey that starts with a Roman emperor seeing a cross in the sky and hearing the words "by this sign, conquer," leads directly to the Crusades, and helps justify centuries of colonization. Finally, we explore how this ancient ideology of holy war echoes in the chants of the modern far-right and gets a secular facelift in the pseudo-history of warrior aliens.

  • I'm Gonna Beat Jesus

    I'm Gonna Beat Jesus
    Oct 28 2025

    You've seen it on TikTok: a wild theory connecting a sacred mountain in the Middle East, fallen angels, the Roswell crash, and the number 33. Welcome to the Mount Hermon conspiracy, the belief that a supernatural coordinate system, the 33rd parallel, serves as a global energy grid for aliens and angels alike. It’s a theory so powerful that it supposedly dictates everything from ancient history to modern warfare.

    So, is the Earth a giant D20 crisscrossed with energy lines? Scott and Tristan (armed with sangria and cream ale) dive into the numbers. They use some good old-fashioned math, statistical analysis, and a lesson on how latitude and longitude actually work to show why this "worldwide grid" has a tolerance for error so wide you could fly a V-2 rocket through it. Then, they get into the real history of Mount Hermon, a site sacred to countless cultures long before anyone wrote about "Watchers," and explore how apocalyptic literature from 200 BCE is being twisted to serve a new narrative.

    But this isn't just about debunking bad math. The hosts connect the dots from TikTok brainrot to the very real, very dangerous world of geopolitics, revealing how these conspiracies are weaponized to justify white nationalism and settler colonial projects in active war zones today.

    Stuff mentioned in the episode:

    • Monte Carlo Simulation
    • Sarah Davis Baker and her video "The uncanny horror of AI hallucinations"

My favorite part of this podcast is they don't interject snide political comments for no reason.

Good and fun

This is the first podcast I simply decided to listen to and I am very pleased that I chose it. One of the points brought up in the first episode that I found truly fascinating was Fermi’s question of “So where is everyone?” Stuck with me and I look forward to seeing these questions explored.

A truly fascinating listen

If four stars were the maximum rating, this is the best podcast to vicariously dissect the History channel's lies.

The most 4-star aliens podcast

They asked for 4-star reviews and that was a mistake. they aren't asking for that anymore. I enjoyed Ancient Aliens as a kid. I thought it was fascinating and believed most of it. I knew it was full of varying degrees of speculation, but I had no idea just how bad it was upon revisiting it as an adult through this podcast! Thanks for the entertaining and informative analysis and for bringing on QUALIFIED experts guys.

I still believe in Aliens, just not Ancient Aliens
