Hypotheticals

Hosts: Rob & Matt

This was a weird one. There are fewer jokes, much death, and a dash of sci fi. In this episode we discuss the things that might happen if your midlife crisis actually happened when 50% of your life is over. Did I mention the death talk.

We have a guest host! Don't worry, Dave is still around, not in my basement or performing a covert op in another country. This episode we talk about company towns. What if they still existed? We have several tangents, as expected.

Everyone talks about setting grudges and various violent things, but all crime is legal for 24 hours, so why not explore what else you could do, and what effects that may have?

On our very first episode we decide to share our names and discuss the theme of the podcast, which is answering absurd or historical what if question. In this particular episode we ask what would happen if the US and Vatican armies change places. In 2022 the US military employed 1.4 million active personnel across all branches. In 2022 the Vatican employed 110 officers.

We also decided to make baptism madlibs which you can play along with and we'll air on an upcoming episode. Make submissions here:
