Patrick takes Alex on a trip through history, as we look at the Mayan Long Count calendar and why some people thought the world would end in 2012. We discuss who the Maya are, how their various calendars work, and how the 2012 "doomsday" myth morphed over the years. Both Alex and Patrick express, frankly, rage at trying to pin down exactly what some New Age leaders were trying to say would happen in 2012. We've got blood rituals, we've got universal telepathy, we've got the poles flipping.
Theme song is “Satellites” by Swenny.
