April 05, 202110. Y2Killer
Y2K: it ended up being just another year. But there was a real fear that major computer systems would break down - and they may have had programmers not spent a decade trying to remedy the problem. Today on the penultimate episode of the season we ask the question “What if Y2K was as bad as many predicted?”
Cody suggests that we don’t have to imagine; another Y2K-esque event is coming in the next 20 years. Colin is one of the many who believes it was way overblown from the beginning.

March 30, 2021 9. Gold Plated Balls of Steel
Book of Mormon interpreter/writer and U.S. presidential candidate Joseph Smith fulfilled a great many roles in his life. Many of those roles really ticked off the locals, which is why he was shot to death while jumping out of a second-story window. But what would have been had Joseph Smith survived this encounter?
Colin prophesies that Joseph Smith would fulfill the destiny laid out for him in the Book of Mormon. Cody suggests that the many denominations of the Mormon church would not have engaged in Game-of-Thrones-esque battles.

March 22, 2021 8. Juan Ponce Lives On
If there was one explorer we definitely know was not looking for the Fountain of Youth, it was Juan Ponce de Leon. And yet, his name and life have been attached to the myth forever because another guy wanted everyone to believe Ponce de Leon had broken...bits...that needed fixing. Never ones to set the record straight, our team asks the question, “What if Juan Ponce de Leon actually did find the Fountain of Youth, but didn’t tell anybody until 2021?”
Cody dives into the mysteries of the Fountain. Alex thinks healing everyone spells doom for humanity.
