What if aliens aren’t little green men from distant galaxies… but humans from the future?
In this episode, we take on the Future Human Theory — the mind-bending idea that the beings often described in alien encounters (especially those classic big-eyed Greys) might not be extraterrestrial at all. Instead, they might be distant descendants of humanity, travelling back through time to observe, study, and (maybe) save us from ourselves.
Dan tries to piece together the clues: from UFOs hovering over nuclear facilities, to abduction stories centered around DNA collection, to anatomical features of the so-called “aliens” that suspiciously line up with our projected evolution. Rox, naturally, is skeptical and ready with her usual toolkit of sarcasm, roast energy, and wildly better instincts.
Along the way we cover:
Why future humans might look eerily like the classic alien image
Real military incidents involving UFOs and nuclear missile shutdowns
Telepathic downloads, binary codes, and Rendlesham-level weirdness
Whether we’re all just living in the timeline version of a health inspection
And if the Greys might just be... us, after 10,000 years of soy protein and internet arguments
We even experiment with AI-generated visual models of what humans could look like in 3,000 and 10,000 years — and yes, it gets creepy fast.
Plus: swamp gas makes a comeback (of course it does), and Dan attempts to prove once again that all the weirdest stuff we laugh at… might actually be the most grounded in science.
This episode is a blend of speculative science, bad behavior, and big questions about time, evolution, and why aliens are so obsessed with nukes.
If you like your alien theories with a side of existential dread and dumb jokes, this one's for you.

Are they here to help us… or stop us from screwing it all up?
