In this mind-bending episode, Woody and Tyler dive headfirst into some of the strangest, most compelling time travel stories ever recorded.

We kick things off with the eerie case of Sergei Ponomarenko—a man who allegedly disappeared in 1958 and reappeared decades later... without having aged a day. Then, things get even weirder.

From the possibility that the Roswell crash was actually a time machine from Earth’s distant future, to a bizarre theory involving a cosmic tug-of-war between Fish-Man and Sasquatch, to the mysterious case of a cell phone factory thief in 2003 who claimed he was from the future—we're exploring the wildest corners of the time travel phenomenon.

We also revisit the idea that UFOs might not be extraterrestrial at all, but human-built crafts from centuries ahead... and question whether the Men in Black might actually be time travelers themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered whether timelines can be bent, broken, or rewritten altogether—this one’s for you.

🌀 Was Roswell a crash from our future?👔 Are the Men in Black temporal agents?📱 Did a man from 2036 really vanish from a jail cell?

Join us as we explore the stranger-than-fiction tales of time travel and what they might be telling us about our past… and our future.

This week on That Would Be Rad…

What if your entire life—your memories, your relationships, your struggles, your dreams—was nothing more than a line of code?

What if you’ve already lived 54 million other lives…
...and just don’t remember any of them?

In this mind-bending episode, we dive headfirst into simulation theory through the lens of two radically different but equally fascinating thinkers:

First, we explore the work of physicist Melvin Vopson, who believes time might not be what we think it is—and that entire lifetimes could be compressed into mere minutes of “real” time outside the simulation. From entropy-defying data to philosophical ties to the Bible, Vopson’s theories blur the line between science, spirituality, and something far stranger.

Then we take it a step further with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy and Alexey Turchin, who aren’t just asking if we’re in a simulation…
They’re trying to HACK it.

We’ll break down their ideas on how we might uncover glitches, communicate with the system’s architects, and (maybe) crash the whole thing.

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already halfway through building your own digital escape plan—this episode is for you.

So plug in, tune out, and question everything.
Because if the simulation is real… the clock might already be ticking.

Last week, we cracked open the case files of some of the strangest paranormal encounters ever reported by police officers — and this week, we’re back to finish what we started.

In Part 2, Woody dives into even more bizarre, unsettling, and downright mind-bending stories of law enforcement officers who came face-to-face with entities that defy logic, reason... and sometimes physics.

From hulking cryptids and glowing Bigfoot-like creatures to flying humanoids, sky beasts, tunnel-dwelling monsters, and a mysterious purple blob that inspired a Hollywood film — this episode takes you deep into the unknown.

🔦 What’s Inside:

• 🐾 The Jefferson Parish Prowler – A Louisiana officer investigates a prowler call and encounters a towering, hairy beast.

• 🚛 The Texas Highway Runner – An off-duty cop watches a massive creature sprint across the road at inhuman speed.

• 🦍 The Ontario Moose Hunt Incident – A seasoned hunter and police officer is stalked by a muscle-bound, wet-haired beast in the Canadian wilderness.

• 🦇 The Flying Woman of Mexico – A cloaked, black-eyed entity slams into a patrol car and tries to claw her way in.

• 🕊️ The Mexico City Sky Beast – A winged humanoid with a man-like body buzzes a patrol car and disappears into the night.

• 👁️ The Third Eye Man – Deep beneath the University of South Carolina, officers report run-ins with a grotesque figure lurking in the tunnels.

• • 🟣 The Philadelphia Blob – Four police officers encounter a glowing, pulsating purple mass that melts away before their eyes.

  
  

  👮‍♂️ Why It’s Rad:

  These aren’t secondhand stories or urban legends — these are firsthand accounts from trained professionals. Officers who faced something they couldn’t explain... and never forgot.

  So buckle up, tune in, and prepare to question what’s possible when the protectors of our world come face-to-face with something from beyond it.
