Probing Ancient Aliens

Probing Ancient Alienssoundcloud.com
The History Channel's Ancient Aliens is a divisive show, to say the least, but science (and sci-fi) obsessed nerds, Steve & Joey, are exploring each episode of everyone’s favorite show about Ancient Astronaut Theory with equal parts love and skepticism...as well as the quirky researchers and experts that evangelize it. What has mainstream science debunked about Ancient Aliens in the years since it premiered? And what mysterious aspects of humanity’s origins are still best explained by theorists like Georgios Tsoukalos, Erich von Daniken, and the rest of this passionate crew of explorers?

Probing Gaia: 'Halloween Spooktacular! w/ George Noory'

Old "Just for Men" George hosts a clip show of his own show about the spookiest part of spooky season: g-g-g-g-g-g-GHOOOOOSTS! Even though he has over 530 episodes to pull from, he basically grabs clips from 7 or 8 porn doctors to explain their take on the paranormal. George, like the weekend at Bernie's animated dead body that he is, is super dynamic as a host - he even says three and four word sentences sometimes! Enjoy!

Probing Gaia: David Wilcock - 'Crop Circle Prophecies, 31680, and the New Jerusalem'

Wil-to-the-power-of-COCK is back baby! Old Five Heads at Freddies himself rears all five tanned, toothy faces here - with a seemingly failed perm, to boot - to discuss the quantum meanings behind crop circles, a very big arbitrary number that he says is the key to unlocking the “New Jerusalem,” and how, thanks to him and his buddy the archangel Michael, he has helped all of his fans, and the entire world’s population, to bypass all the bad stuff in the Book of Revelations, and how we just need t...

Probing Gaia: 'Mystery Teachings - Accessing the Quantum Gap' w/ Dr. Theresa Bullard

We dive back into the quantum realm with Ant-Man, the Wasp, Michael Douglas…and Dr. Theresa Bullard! She’s a pretty cool Ph.D. physicist who also is into new age/esoterica, and overall is a great asset to what SHOULD be science’s mission: explaining reality by exploring ALL the data, and not just sticking to old scientific dogma and making their data fit. We get into the real heady subject matter of quantum consciousness, and, as usual, Anthony Peake references abound as he continues to be the d...

PATREON PEEK: 'Adventurous Ghosts' - Old Town San Diego S6E3

Sorry we've been bad with posting, been a hectic month and Joey's wife had a medical procedure today (it went great and she's doing fine!). Please enjoy this Patreon episode from last month, where Zak Bagans and the crew display the height of bro-ness with some good-natured racism and fake-drunk flirting. (Original Patreon description): "Zak and the crew commit microaggression after microaggression in a historical Mexican tourist stop in the southwestern most part of the United States, Zak gets ...

Probing Gaia: 'Crystals: Healing, Manifestation, and Alchemy'

We dive into the first two episodes of a brand new Gaia-exclusive series all about crystals! Being that crystals are the core symbol of the "new age" movement, we thought this series was a cool idea - but how much is actual scientifically researched fact, and how much is porn doctors trying to sell you on precious stones that don't work as described?

PATREON PEEK: Adventurous Ghosts - Ashmore Estates S6E1

[Joey has a huge assignment due this week for school, so we couldn't record a new ep of Probing Gaia last night, unfortunately, but this is a great ep from our Patreon that we hope you'll enjoy in the meantime!] (original Patreon description) More like ASS-more estates amirite?! This is actually a solid episode with tons of good EVPs in it, plus, we begin to get the more "refined" approach from Zak and the crew as the show's budget has clearly increased with its popularity. There's also a dickhe...

Probing Gaia: 'OpenMinds: Scanning the Future w/ Philip K. Dick Featuring Anthony Peake'

This week, we’re absolutely droolin’ for DICK…Philip K. Dick that is! We’re double-dipping on Anthony Peake because he’s just that interesting. His Cheating the Ferryman theory and Daemon / Eidolon Dyad hypothesis have become an obsession here in the Probing world, but this episode of “OpenMinds” (bad name) is interviewing Peake about the award-winning sci-fi author of Blade Runner, Minority Report, and The Man in the High Castle (to name a few), whom he has written his own book about (that Joey...

Probing Gaia: 'Consciousness Connection with Anthony Peake'

We go deep into the PEAKE of the current space of philosophic thought - Anthony Peake, that is! This 2014 appearance on a strange Gaia show hosted by a French woman named Lilou is a great introduction to the wide-ranging “Cheating the Ferryman” philosophy that Peake has created (and heavily iterated upon) and shared with us during his lecture and workshop that we attended at Contact in the Desert. Joey has read three of his books since Contact, as well - it’s just that fascinating. Peake is for ...

Probing Gaia: Contact in the Desert 2023 Review!

WE RETURN…to Contact in the Desert, live and in person! It’s been four long years since our virginal trip to Indian Wells for our first CITD, and this consciousness convention came back with a vengeance! The panels were more interesting, the ancient astronaut theorists were virtually nowhere to be found (and that’s a good thing!), and the dance parties were as awkward as ever. This episode is a chonky boy for sure, enjoy! Support the show at: PATREON.COM/PROBINGANCIENTALIENS - for exclusive podc...

PATREON PEEK: Adventurous Ghosts - S5E8: Tooele Hospital

Steve and I are enjoying Memorial Day today, so enjoy this episode of Adventurous Ghosts, one of our Patreon podcasts that's released to patrons every month! (Original Patreon description): The boys head to...to-well-o? ...t-t-talulla? ...tool...tool...tool-ele? A small town in Utah with a former poor house turned hospital, turned half retirement home, half horror maze attraction. We also discuss the controversial video released last week by Nick Groff, where he "tells all" to his Twitter follow...

Probing Gaia: 'David Childress - Investigating the Ancient Cham People'

A big ol’ Childress Chime-in this week! Our most beloved Ancient Alien boy is featured on an episode of the Gaia show “Great Minds,” and discusses a pet-theory that the mysterious Cham people are responsible for all modern culture and even megalithic keystone technology in the southern hemisphere. Does he contradict himself a whole heck of a lot? He sure does…but you’ll have to listen to find out exactly when! Enjoy!

Probing Gaia: 'Widsdom Teachings: Special Q&A with David Wilcock'

It’s been a while since we’ve seen ol’ “Five Heads at Freddy’s,” and we even get into the real story behind why he seemingly imploded in 2018 from his two biggest platforms (Gaia and Ancient Aliens). Hint: he thought Gaia was full of satan-worshippers and that Ancient Aliens supported pedophiles. This Q and A from his long running, 250+ episode show, ‘Wisdom Teachings” features four women “asking” David questions that he likely wrote himself, for himself. His anxiety-ridden antics are on full di...

Probing Gaia: 'Gregg Braden: Neurons, Bones, and Robots - the Battle for our Humanness'

The Gaia network's very own "pseudo-Tsoukalos" is a geologist-turned-spiritualist, Gregg Braden. He's got the big hair, and talks a big game about the merging of science and spiritulality. This presentation from 2020's Conscious Life Expo goes over his premise that the human being is the most advanced technology there is...we've just forgotten the ancient methods of harnessing this "soft tech," as he calls it.

Probing Gaia - 'Ancient Civilizations' S1E2: Gnostic Origins

NEXT EPISODE: We dive head first into what, at first glance, seems like an Ancient Aliens clone on Gaia - but as we watched, we realized that this is the show that Ancient Aliens secretly wishes it could be, but is shackled by the need to constantly prove the ancient astronaut theory. This episode covers one of Joey’s burgeoning favorite subjects, Gnosticism, and relates it to early Christianity, the Sumerian religion, and even down to Egyptian spirituality, with a little taste of Billy Carson a...

Probing Gaia - 'Mystery Teachings' S1E1 (and E5!)Consciousness in the Quantum Paradigm

We jump into the mind of Physicist and New Age Quantum Consciousness advocate, Dr. Theresa Bullard, in the first (and fifth, due to an error Joey made pasting the right link to Steve) episode of her show, Mystery Teachings. Each episode blends Quantum Theory with the nature of Consciousness and how they interconnect. The first episode is a general look at their connection, while episode 5 looks at consciousness and our holographic universe. Is there any preaching here, despite being an actual sc...

Probing Gaia - 'Billy Carson: Thoth and the Annunaki' (from 'Beyond Belief')

Billy Carson has a mouth on him - not the mouth of a sailor…but the mouth of diarrhea. It never ends. Put a microphone in front of him and he will overwhelm you with “facts” he’s gleaned from his “research” until your mind is too exhausted to question what’s true and what’s bullshit. That’s…where we come in! This is an episode of George Noory’s ‘Beyond Belief,’ a long running Gaia series where George Noory “interviews” guests and…promotes other Gaia shows? Enjoy!

Probing Gaia - 'William Henry: AI, Technology, and the New Humanity' Review Discussion

William Henry (AKA “Medallion Man, AKA “Amulet Asshole”) is FIRED up at the Conscious Life Expo 2020, taking a vehement anti-AI and anti-Transhumanism stance in front of a crowd (maybe) 18 people! This is a side of ol’ Bill that we never see on Ancient Aliens, and from that standpoint alone this is a spicy episode and we have a ton to say about it. Enjoy!

The inaugural episode of Probing Gaia (as we pivot from Probing Ancient Aliens) covers the award-winning Gaia Network documentary: Becoming Nothing, by Jamie Catto.

The Time Benders - S18E10

Our final episode covering Ancient Aliens (don't worry - we'll be covering many of the same people and expanded content on this same podcast feed where we cover the Gaia Network1) is a perfect example of why it's our last: zero new content from the minds of the Ancient Aliens writers and crew - but STILL plenty for us to talk about, even in the absence of a good show that's attempting to open people's minds about ancient astronaut theory. We'll see you next week with our new content! Don't worry...

Secrets Of The Star Ancestors - S18E6

Season 18, Episode 7 of History’s “Ancient Aliens” focuses on the “gods” of the indigenous peoples of America…specifically regarding the fact that they are flesh and bolts humanoids from other star systems, and not religious, ephemeral beings of pure spiritual energy. There’s an unbroken oral tradition and overall kinship that many native american tribes feel with UFOs / UAPs and their potential occupants, which is cool, but do Tsoukalos and the gang treat the subject with the respect it deserve...

Still, it would be nice if they did, y’know, some new research or god forbid, fund some themselves and report back. But then they wouldn’t be Ancient Astronaut Theorists, now would they?
