10. Y2Killer

4/5/2021
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. Editing by Hannah Burkhardt Hosted by Alex Smith, Cody Sharp, and Colin Sharp.

9. Gold Plated Balls of Steel

3/29/2021
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. Want to join the OUAT community? Have an idea for a change in history?

If there was one explorer we definitely know was not looking for the Fountain of Youth, it was Juan Ponce de Leon.

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.

3/1/2021
Ypres, 1917. The men are in the trenches. They write letters home to loved ones because they know what’s coming; mustard gas. Only it’s not a gas, it’s a paste, a condiment! All is fair in love and war, and in this war, things are getting tasty. What if instead of a deadly gas, the Germans just dropped literal mustard on Allied forces? Colin manages to squeeze out some facts on mustard. Later, who lets the dogs out? The Allied forces, and Cody. Want to join the OUAT community? Have an idea for a change in history?

Whitechapel, a town wreaking of sin and poverty, suffered under the weight of five gruesome murders at the end of 1888. One man rose from the darkness to save Whitechapel from the pits of despair with his fistfuls of cash: good-old Jack the Tipper. Today we ask, “What if Jack the Ripper, instead of committing a series of murders in Whitechapel, turned his attention towards philanthropy?” Cody discusses social reform in Whitechapel after the murders.

What if cane fighting remained as the way to settle disputes in the Senate, instead of the filibuster?
