Dan and Michael Get Abducted: UFOs, Body Doubles, and the Weird Ways We Explain the Unexplainable
Dan and Michael get abducted — by ideas, conspiracies, and maybe aliens. This week, your favorite anthropologists of everyday life tackle UFOs, body doubles, and murder in the Pacific Northwest. From backyard sightings and drone swarms to doppelgängers in Ohio high schools, to true crime in the long dark winters of Washington, the guys explore why we believe what we believe — and how myths help us make sense of mystery.
Along the way:
The uncanny prediction of the Titanic disaster in 1898
What UFOs reveal about secrecy and American mythmaking
Why your high school teacher might (not) be a body double
Ostracism, Greek democracy, and why Dan wants to bring it back
How to tell if your boyfriend is a serial killer (or just really into Nordic noir)
If you like anthropology, philosophy, and the absurdity of human behavior, you’ll love this one.
