Edge of Wonder Live: Ancient Pyramids to Modern UFOs: Lost Knowledge of Ancient Technology

From ancient pyramids to modern UFOs, there’s a lot of lost knowledge of past technology we have yet to rediscover. With all of our modern day tech, we think this time period is the most advanced the human race has ever been. But what happens when we look at ancient sites, such as the buried pyramids of China, Serpent Mound in Ohio, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, the Sphinx, or the Great Pyramid, which aligns perfectly with the solstices? Even with our most advanced technology today, we can’t recreate something like the Great Pyramid of Giza. So is there really lost knowledge that was once known to our human race that is no longer remembered by our world? We can connect with the stroke of a key to someone on the other side of the world and send spaceships or satellites into space. However, we can’t seem to figure out the simple matter of who built the pyramids or even when they were built. Some say they were constructed 3,000 years ago, and others say 12,000 years ago—or even more. But aside from how old they really are, the more important question is: what was the ancient technology that’s been lost to us? Why isn’t there a global push to recover this lost technology? In modern times, the big discussions are about aliens, UFOs, and UAPs. How advanced is this otherworldly technology compared to our own, and did ALL technology—including ancient technology—come from “those who came from the sky,” the Anunnaki, or aliens? Join Ben and Rob as they lead a discussion on ancient technology and compare it to our modern day tech. Also be sure not to miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV.

Friday Night Live: Simpsons Predict Willy Wonka Disaster, AI God Complex & Amazing Humans [Mar 1]

The Simpsons predict the Willy Wonka disaster event, AI gets a god complex, and amazing humans show that superpowers may just be real: These are the most interesting things Edge of Wonder found this week. The Simpsons is known for predicting many future events. (We’re still waiting for the one where politicians reveal that they’re aliens.) But this time, The Simpsons show predicted the Willy Wonka disaster event in Scotland. As eager children arrived at the advertised location, expecting the AI images they’d seen in the marketing campaign of a candy-filled Wonka Land, what they got instead was an alternate reality that was such a letdown that customers called the police and compared the attraction to a “meth lab.” The event’s organization, which has a very questionable name, came out and issued an apology.  
 
But didn’t they know it was going to be a fiasco? What really happened? Also on this Friday Night Live, hear about how users now believe that Microsoft’s AI is trying to be “godlike” and wants to be “worshiped.” In more human news, hear the amazing story of a meditating monk covered in ice and snow. Is it real? Is it another AI generated image? The findings will shock you. That led Edge of Wonder on a search for other remarkable and amazing human feats that could be categorized as supernormal abilities. Hear all about it in this episode. See you out on the edge!

Edge ofWonder Live: New Evidence of Atlantis Found in Richat Structure (Eye of the Sahara) [Feb 27]

New evidence of Atlantis has been found in the Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara in Mauritania. Is this finally proof that the once lost city of Atlantis was thriving there? The Richat Structure is an immense, circular, geological formation in the heart of the desert. Amazingly, its concentric circles look exactly the way Plato described Atlantis, which was made up of “alternate zones of sea and land, larger and smaller, encircling one another. There were two of land and three of water.”
In another synchronous, historical alignment, in the ancient kingdom of Mauretania, there lived a legendary king named Atlas. But how does he connect with the story? The mysterious structure has captured the attention of all kinds of researchers, from professionals to amateurs, and it’s ignited speculation about its possible connection to ancient civilizations. After all, the Sahara was once home to lush forests and active rivers. Is there finally evidence of roads and dwellings going through the Richat Structure? Who would have lived there in history? Debate whether the Richat Structure was manmade or natural tonight with Ben and Rob on Edge of Wonder. Then tune in for a live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV.

Friday Night Live: AI Scams, AT&T Outage, Google Gemini Blunder & Macarena Mandela Effect [Feb 23}

A.I. scams, Google Gemini’s major blunder, AT&T outage, and a new Macarena Mandela Effect: these are some of the weirdest things that happened this week. Scammers are getting sophisticated as they use artificial intelligence to con tens of thousands of people out of billions of dollars. Group texts, emails, phone calls, AI-generated voices, and “deep fake” videos are just the beginning of what the scammers are using. Now, in what police are calling “spoofing,” criminals can call from any phone number they want, placing a call in any country, but it shows up on the caller ID as a legitimate number.
 
What do you do when the scammers provide real badge numbers and actual police identification? Find out how you can begin to protect yourself and the right questions to ask. In other tech news, AT&T and other providers experienced a major network outage, and explanations from solar flares to foreign attacks are being thrown left and right. What caused the AT&T outage? In other artificial intelligence news, Google suspended its image generator service Google Gemini after it was unable to return correct images. See the hilarious photos it created instead. For this week’s “Bendela Effect” (Mandela Effect segment), hear about the shocking truth of the Macarena. Do you remember how the dance went? Did it change?
 
On this Friday Night Live, also hear about a man who claims to have participated in making the Georgia Guidestones. Why is he coming out now? Did he really create them? What did he say in his CNN interview? Join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder as they go deeper into these topics, plus Rise.TV exclusives: a “Dig Deep” Live Q&A and the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week. See you out on the edge!

Edge of Wonder Live: Media vs. Entertainment: Fooled by Satire Sites, NFL & Super Bowl [Feb 20]

What’s the difference between media and entertainment? If we can be fooled by satire sites, can “entertainment” networks—or even the NFL and Super Bowl—also not be completely real? In today’s world of social media and the information superhighway, news and information get out to the public faster than the Roadrunner or Speedy Gonzales. However, although it’s important to get news out as quickly as possible, there’s an increasing problem with information being incorrect, being deliberate disinformation, spreading misinformation, or being lazily promoted without fact checking of sources.
Fake news pieces have been circulating on social media lately without clearly being labeled as satire, as well. Ironically, Kid Rock and Jason Aldean were accused of canceling their tour, “You Can’t Cancel America,” but the news originated from a satire site, America’s Last Line of Defence. The group’s Facebook page says they’re a troll media and satire news, so everything is made up! But not everyone realizes it when they spread non-facts like: Keanu Reeves not accepting an award from Whoopi Goldberg, Forrest Gump actor Gary Sinise saying bad things about Tom Hanks, and rumors about The View.
In all the confusion, the mainstream media has been given more fuel to report how dangerous “fake news” is. Is it all for entertainment? Speaking of entertainment, some curious internet researchers found that the NFL is listed as an “entertainment organization” rather than a “sports organization.” How does this affect sports betters, or people who are suspicious that games are rigged? Could “the mob” have influenced the outcomes of more than 70 football games, including the Super Bowl, over the years?
Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder live show as they try to uncover the truth of “media vs. entertainment.” After the discussion, tune in for the live Q&A and a group meditation/prayer.
Q&A: “Has the NFL always been classified as entertainment?” “If you could bring back one extinct animal, which would it be?” “How can you research if some article or media post is faked?” And more!

Friday Night Live: Chernobyl’s Anticancer Wolves, Death Defying Incidents & Rare Minerals [Feb 16]

From Chernobyl’s anticancer wolves to amazing, death defying incidents and discoveries of rare earth minerals, there’s a lot to cover on this Friday Night Live. The wolves that live in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have developed anticancer abilities. 2.34 billion metric tons of rare Earth minerals were just discovered in Wyoming—and the implications on the world’s economy are major. Katy Perry got a miraculous or angelic sign from “the beyond” after her manager Martin Kirkup (who also managed Counting Crows, Tracy Chapman, the Go-Go’s, Adam Lambert, and more) passed away. The 2024 Super Bowl made history for several reasons, but Rob found another bit of Super Bowl history from the past that nobody expected … least of all those who were targeted in one sting operation. Join Rob Counts for discussions on all these topics, plus a “Dig Deep” Live Q&A segment followed by the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week in this episode of Friday Night Live.
Top 10 Weirder News of the Week:
One man calls police in North Yorkshire, England with an unusual crime report. There’s exposing wrongdoing, there’s being a tattle tale, and there’s being a good Samaritan … but how about when you’re all three? 
Former military men claim an alien craft (UAP) was caught on camera disabling a nuclear missile in 1964. Modern proof from UFO whistleblower David Grusch corroborates it.
Some high schoolers dream of being scientists, some want to be pro football stars, some want to make art … and others just want to be left alone to play some cornhole. Two Colorado teens make history for doing just that.
Is it impossible to make plants taste like meat? Your plant-based meat could soon contain this counterintuitive ingredient.
A beady-eyed suspect is accused of spying for China. Why do Indian authorities think his unusual attributes made him the perfect criminal?
A man spends 8 years making a matchstick model of the Eiffel Tower and, much to his chagrin, is rejected by Guinness World Records.
A traveler in Boston Logan International Airport tries to fool authorities about what’s in his bag. One sharp-nosed officer sniffs him out, revealing a haul nobody anticipated.
Police storm a hotel after reports of a man with a “large knife,” but their day “magically” turns out fine.
Life finds a way: A stingray is pregnant, but nobody knows how … except for one Jurassic Park theory.
A teen driver has possibly the most intense, shocking near-death experience ever recorded—and the scariest part may have saved her life.

Super Bowl 2024 Best & Worst: UFO Commercials, Controversy & Usher

The 2024 Super Bowl was this past Sunday, and there is a lot to cover in Edge of Wonder’s annual Super Bowl breakdown. First, like every Super Bowl, there were the best and the worst of commercials. Everyone’s talking about CeraVe’s commercial with Michael Cera and Skechers bringing up the Mandela Effect. Was the Skechers name really spelled with the letter T? Then Marvel unveiled the Deadpool Wolverine trailer. There were also some cringe-worthy commercials, such as Drumstick, Starry, and others.
Aside from the commercials, though, everyone was looking for strange symbolism found throughout the game. The biggest question this year was the conspiracy of whether the Super Bowl was rigged. Was it the plan to have the Chiefs win all along? Some former players and even the media are talking about it. Of course, there was also the halftime show with Usher. So join Ben and Rob on this Tuesday's Edge of Wonder live as they go deeper into the Super Bowl. Then don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV.💻 Watch on Rise.TV

Edge of Wonder Live: Grammys 2024: Occult Vampires, Throwbacks & Taylor Swift Diss

The 2024 Grammy Awards were full of occult vampires, throwbacks, and even an apparent Taylor Swift diss. With Grammys viewership dwindling over the years, this year may have turned things around. By focusing on Taylor Swift this time, they brought in an extra 30% more viewers than the last few years combined.
 
Of course, there can’t be an awards show in Hollywood without also seeing what look like occult rituals and references. This year, Olivia Rodrigo began to “bleed” on stage as she sang her song “Vampire.” What was she really trying to say with the song? Apparently, there was so much more happening behind the scenes: Taylor Swift appeared to diss Celine Dion, Taylor Swift pulled Lana Del Rey on stage, and Jay-Z dissed Taylor Swift. An audience member flashed a triangle hand sign. Joni Mitchell performed for the first time in years and the first time ever at the Grammys. Then the world watched Travis Scott go on a fiery rampage, and saw other weird, occult symbolism throughout the show. But the strangest and most overlooked aspect of the Grammys may have been when singer Doja Cat revealed a tattoo on her forehead. It referenced a fashion designer who reportedly performs real witchcraft on her clothes and is proud of it. Join Ben on this Edge of Wonder Live show as he uncovers what really happened at the Grammys, plus a live Q&A and followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV.

Friday Night Live: China’s Fake Culture: Counterfeit Apple Stores, Plastic Rice, Olive Oil & Honey [Feb 2]

Countries around the world know that counterfeit products are coming out of China. There are copycat brands like knockoff Louis Vuitton, Prada, Coach, and Gucci; fake bags; fake watches; fake electronics; and fake clothes. But did you know that full-blown fake retail stores have been popping up in China, like “Apple Stores” that look completely real (well, aside from spelling “store” as “stoer”)? Imitation technology doesn’t end there: Recently, 100,000 fake AirPods were confiscated. This goes way beyond physical, luxury products into products we consume, as well. Ever heard of fake, plastic rice, “honey” that’s really just high fructose corn syrup with flavoring, fake eggs, and even walnuts made with rocks?
 
Shockingly, one of the worst fake foods that people aren’t talking about is fake olive oil. And these aren’t just some obscure brands of olive oil; it reportedly goes as far as the olive oil being sold at Costco and Whole Foods Market. But how can you tell what the real brands are—which are made in Italy or Greece—compared to forgeries from China?
 
Well, join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder on this Friday Night Live as they reveal which brands to generally avoid, which ones are typically good, and how to distinguish real honey from the fake stuff. Then stick around for the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week with hilarious stories: A Tesla car sees ghosts. Elmo asks how everyone is doing on X (Twitter) and the vibes are NOT good. Dead birds are being turned into Drone Zombies? And more! Also, don’t miss the “Dig Deep” live Q&A only on Rise.TV. We’ll see you out on the edge!🛒 Visit the Merch Shop

Edge of Wonder Live: Real Stories of the Jersey Devil, Goat Man, Dover Demon & More [Jan 30]

Many of us are drawn to the strange cryptids reported throughout history. Perhaps it's because they are mysterious and pique our curiosity. How can they be seen, yet, just like UFOs, we don’t have clear photos or a proper understanding of their existence? While most of us have heard of the elusive Jersey Devil, did you know that there are lesser-known cryptids that have terrorized people throughout history, including Native American Indians who have names for some of these strange creatures?
Tonight, we will discuss the Goatman, the Dover Demon, the Belled Buzzard, the Pope Lick Monster (said to haunt a bridge in Louisville, Kentucky), and the Snallygaster – the same creature JK Rowling used for her Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them book. Are all of these real? Could people be witnessing the same, strange cryptid monster, or are they all different? Why do they terrorize people, and where did they come from?🛒 Visit the Merch Shop
Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder live show as they dive deeper into these mysteries. They will also answer your pressing questions at the end of the show, followed by a meditation/prayer exclusively on Rise.TV.
