There’s a new Mandela Effect about the game Monopoly, and Ace Ventura seems to be involved. King Charles’ intense, new portrait is getting made fun of on the internet and late-night TV. Extinct species are being discovered to be not so dead after all. These are the weirdest things that happened this week, which Ben and Rob will talk about this Friday Night Live.
The first portrait of King Charles has been revealed, and it’s dividing the art world, along with nearly everyone on social media. Even the mainstream media has been calling it a “frightening portrait of King Charles III.” So why was this portrait created to appear as if King Charles is surrounded by the flames of hell? Was this all just an accident, or did the artist Jonathan Yeo create it this way on purpose?
Going back in time to childhood, many people remember the Monopoly Man, a.k.a. “Rich Uncle” Pennybags, having a monocle—which is a common Mandela Effect. However, Ben found a new Mandela Effect in the Monopoly board game which has everyone scratching their heads and goes along with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Find out what this means on tonight’s show.
Out in the wild, what was thought of as a long-forgotten, extinct species—the first thylacine or Tasmanian tiger—was caught on camera. People claim this creature is nearly as big as Bigfoot. Join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder on this Fight Night Live as they cover all of these topics and more. Plus, don’t miss the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week along with a “Dig Deep” Live Q&A only on Rise.TV. We’ll see you out … on the edge!

Project Sun Streak: CIA Found Ark of the Covenant in Declassified Docs
Tuesday May 14, 2024
Tuesday May 14, 2024
The Ark of the Covenant is one of the most sought-after artifacts in the history of the world. There are all kinds of theories and rumors about where the Ark of the Covenant is, who’s guarding it, and what’s really inside it. Shockingly, it looks like even the CIA was trying to understand more about it.
In the late ‘80s, they recruited remote viewers for Project Stargate (also known as Project Sun Streak) to remote view its location and contents. Not only did the CIA’s remote viewers find the Ark of the Covenant, but they also found it being guarded by “entities” of supernatural origin. Even though they didn’t physically find the ark, it does prove that it exists, and that it appears to hold a very guarded secret. What’s inside? Who is guarding it? Why were they looking for it in the first place, and what is the past history of the ark? Find out on this Edge of Wonder live show with Ben and Rob.
At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!

Teleportation Experiments, AI Looks at Itself & Stallone’s Words of Wisdom
Tuesday May 14, 2024
Tuesday May 14, 2024
Teleportation experiments were uncovered, A.I. looked at its own code, and Sylvester Stallone gave his words of wisdom on life and artificial intelligence: These are the weirdest things Rob found this week to talk about on this Friday Night Live.
Is there proof of teleportation in CIA documents? We may all be saying, “Beam me, up Scotty!” sooner than you think. Finnish and Chinese scientists demonstrated quantum teleportation on the scale of tiny particles, but in certain documents, strange experiments have also been secretly conducted on “transcending spatial barriers.”
In the world of artificial intelligence, one company working to give A.I. a “soul” granted one program called “Philip” access to its own code. What Philip did and said next was astounding. It’s not all Matrix futures and portal technology, though. Sylvester Stallone shared his views on how people’s mentalities have changed in a social media video. Should we take his advice?
Join Rob Counts for this Friday Night Live with fan-favorite segments, the Metaphysical Minute, “Dig Deep” Live Q&A, and the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week.

CIA Mind Control & Psychological Experiments
Friday May 10, 2024
Friday May 10, 2024
Mind control and psychological experiments have been conducted by the CIA, research institutes, universities, and private and governmental agencies for decades. What shocking information did they uncover about the power of the mind?
Psychological experiments have been critical in shaping the fields of psychology and human behavior. Some have had a massive impact in society, and others have been carried out quietly on the masses. The Stanley Milgram Experiment showed how an obedience to authority can override people’s good judgment even when others are being hurt as a direct result of their conformity. The Asch Conformity Study showed how people can be influenced by others to agree to an incorrect answer even when they know they’re correct. “Group think” may be literal! Of course, the CIA also performed their own studies with their infamous, controversial mind control experiments like MK Ultra. But most people don't know that they secretly conducted other experiments that were never exposed, as well.
What’s the point of these mind and behavior experiments, and is there anything we can learn from them in today’s world? Tune into this Edge of Wonder Live show as Ben Chasteen dives deeper into what these studies mean, shows some past experiments, and discusses how they shaped our understanding of the human psyche. At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!

Edge of Wonder found declassified CIA documents about vampires, accounts of people having alien encounters, and news about Antarctica that seriously turned some heads: These are the weirdest things Ben and Rob found this week, which will be covered on this Friday Night Live.
Certain operations and programs that the CIA declassified are a treasure trove of unsettling, weird, and straight up paranormal experiments. Ever heard of the plot to utilize fear of vampires in a particular village as a war tactic? But this brings up the question: What made the villagers in the Philippines so scared to begin with? Also revealed in old CIA documents was how pipe bombs were planted around the United States to blame Cuba and be able to launch an attack in what was called Operation Northwoods. Also speaking of war, hilariously, the CIA had plans prepared against Canada just in case they were to ever invade the US. (Of course, since it’s Canada, if they did attack, they’d probably give a heads up first out of politeness anyway, eh.)
In other news: 1) A second Boeing whistleblower, Joshua Dean, died due to an incurable, severe infection. 2) Scientists have been testing consciousnesses in animals and are concluding that they are all sentient beings. 3) A former US Navy pilot claimed that aliens visited him in his home. 4) New evidence has emerged that Antarctica was once a lush, green land full of rivers and lakes. Could this be evidence of a lost civilization?
Join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder on this Friday Night Live as they dive into what all of this means, plus the “Dig Deep” Live Q&A followed by the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week only on Rise.TV. See you out … on the edge!

Do Ancient Mayan Temples Align With Star Constellations?
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Did the ancient Maya people use the stars and the constellations as a map to build their temples? New evidence hints that they did, which brings up a new question about archaeology: What if we used star maps to look for ancient sites? Would they prove that certain sites were man made? In Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse series, he began to explore this theory, joining other researchers who have pointed out that the Pyramids of Giza are the main location that aligns exactly with the stars. Today, mainstream scholars and archaeologists disprove this theory, however, because the stars do not align now—or even 3,000 years ago—with what they say is the age of the pyramid complex.
However, the pyramids did align with the stars very exactly over 12,000 years ago, going against the mainstream understanding of when the pyramids were built. But what if we took this approach a step further, venturing off of our own planet and onto another, specifically Mars? Using star charts, is it possible that the ancient region of Cydonia on Mars holds the key to a cosmic mystery, revealing that it was a site built by an intelligent, advanced race? Will we find a rational layout that mimics the stars? Or is it all random structures formed over eons of wind and dirt?
Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live show as they unravel the mysteries of these ancient locations. At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!

London Horses of the Apocalypse, Nostradamus & Dirty Hairy Mandela Effect
Friday Apr 26, 2024
Friday Apr 26, 2024
A bloody, white horse and a black horse were seen rampaging through the streets of London. Is it a sign of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? The sight sparked all kinds of theories about doomsday, but what does it really mean?
They were military horses that allegedly got loose, injuring 4 people and damaging a lot of cars in the process. In a very strange coincidence, Big Ben also stopped working at 9:00 in the morning, then climbed 11 times at 10:06. Edge of Wonder took a deep dive into past prophecies and found that amazingly, Nostradamus might have predicted this event hundreds of years ago.
Tune into this Friday Night Live to look deeper into this weirdness, along with a discussion about a TikTok ban coming into effect. What does it mean for the American people, especially the younger generations? Also on the show, Ben found two different Mandela Effects in Dirty Hairy. Join Ben Chasteen and special guest Simon Esler as they unravel all of this and more! Also be sure not to miss the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week and the Dig Deep Live Q&A only on Rise.TV.

Nuclear Tests & Ancient Civilizations: Debating Our Mysterious Past
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
There’s a heated debate in the world of ancient archeology about how far back the human race goes. Graham Hancock’s hit show on Netflix, Ancient Apocalypse, has rocked the world of archeology, testing the limits of the mainstream understanding of our own human history. However, archaeologist Flint Dibble couldn’t let his work lay in ruins; he went on Joe Rogan to debate Graham Hancock over Hancock’s findings. Who won the debate? Why are mainstream archeologists so keen on ignoring certain details? Did Hancock present a strong enough case, or should his claims be left in the past? Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live as they discuss the viral debate. Also continuing on controversial discussions with Joe Rogan, recently, evidence was presented that the famous footage of the nuclear bomb wasn’t real. Was the “Trinity test,” which was set off by Oppenheimer and his team of scientists, actually fake? Could there be any truth to this theory? Find out what billionaire Marc Andreessen said on Joe Rogan’s show about the nuclear tests, as well as what others are saying to contest his findings. Of course, at the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!

Dubai Flood via Cloud Seeding? Plus We Found a Structure on the Moon!
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Dubai is experiencing flooding after apparent cloud seeding, plus Edge of Wonder may have found a structure on the moon with a P1000 Nikon camera! These are the weirdest things that happened this week that will get covered this Friday Night Live.
The flooding in Dubai hasn’t slowed down, the worst flooding the country has seen in over 75 years. People are being forced to abandon their vehicles as many streets have become new rivers. The first report from Bloomberg said that cloud seeding was to blame, which was quickly attacked by other media even though Dubai has been cloud seeding for years to help with their dry climate. Although some organizations try to call chemtrails or cloud seeding a conspiracy theory, several US states have banned cloud seeding altogether. But what is cloud seeding? Who is doing this, and are chemtrails and cloud seeding the same?
Also in this episode of Friday Night Live, a few states had an outage that prevented 9-1-1 calls; millions of people couldn’t make emergency calls in the affected states. Was this just a glitch? Or was it a potential cyberattack? The FBI has been warning about entities like the Chinese Communist Party attacking critical infrastructure. In outer space news, Ben bought a Nikon P1000 camera and took some amazing photos of the moon and sun. Shockingly, some very interesting anomalies showed up in the photos, like a possible structure on the moon! Find out more about what’s in the photos on tonight’s show.
Be sure not to miss the weekly Mandela Effect (with Cheez-It versus Cheez-Itz) and the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week. Hear about the man who balanced a running lawnmower on his chin, a ghostly soldier caught on camera, and a real Weekend at Bernie’s scenario in which a woman brought a real corpse to a bank.

Pandas Aren’t Real? Wild Theory in China Isn’t so Black & White
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Friday Apr 19, 2024
Are pandas real? Well, one wild conspiracy theory says they’re not. On the surface, it sounds as ridiculous as believing that space is fake. After all, we see pandas in the wild, right? (But HAS anyone actually seen a panda in the wild?) Well, the more Edge of Wonder looked into this, the weirder and stranger it got. This isn’t as black and white as we expected it to be. Why aren't there any ancient drawings of pandas, and why does it seem they’re only found in one very small place in China?
Why was the first verifiable reference to a panda only in the late 1860s? Were they killed off? Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live show as they look deeper into this to ask the question, “Where do pandas come from?” Also going on this China theme, the Chinese Communist Party is having massive problems from missing ministers and party officials to signs of corruption and economic downfalls. Is something far darker that anyone knows happening behind the scenes in China? At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV.
