• S4 E29: The Mysterious Crying Boy Painting & Other Cursed Objects
    Oct 14 2024

    Welcome back to another spine-tingling episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad!

    This week, Tyler and Woody dive into the enigmatic and chilling tale of "The Curse of the Crying Boy." Set against the backdrop of the hauntingly beautiful fall mornings, they explore the eerie legend surrounding a seemingly innocent painting that left a trail of destruction across England in the 1980s.

    Imagine a painting so cursed that it survives fires that destroy entire homes. This is the story of the Crying Boy, a portrait that has been linked to over 50 mysterious house fires, leaving only the painting unscathed amidst the ashes. Tyler and Woody unravel the layers of this mystery, questioning whether the painting is merely a victim of mass hysteria or if it holds a darker, supernatural power.

    As they delve deeper, they explore the possible connections between art and energy, pondering whether emotions can be trapped in brushstrokes and whether these emotions can manifest in the real world. They also touch on the fascinating world of chaos magic and its potential influence on this bizarre phenomenon.

    Join us for a captivating journey into the unknown as we examine cursed objects, from haunted paintings to sinister vases, and consider the possibility that some things are better left untouched. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the eerie tales, or just to hear two best friends explore the unexplained, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.

  • S4 E27: You're Being Impersonated By the Other Voice - THE GARY SUDBRINK STORY
    Sep 23 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive deep into the eerie world of mysterious phone calls, doppelgangers, and strange encounters with the unknown.

    Our story begins in early February 1993, a time when Bill Clinton had just taken office, Aladdin was still dominating the box office, and Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" was the anthem playing everywhere. It was a pre-smartphone era, where landlines ruled and mysterious calls could send shivers down your spine.

    Enter Gary Sudbrink, an Air Force captain stationed in San Antonio, Texas, who decided to take a surprise trip to visit his family in Long Island, New York. Little did he know, this trip would lead to a series of bizarre and unsettling phone calls that remain unexplained to this day.

    Imagine receiving a call from a robotic, mechanical voice that knows intimate details about your life, asking strange questions and making cryptic statements like "Keep your eye on the skies near Orion" and "We come to be within this planet." This is exactly what happened to Gary, and he had the presence of mind to record these calls, adding a layer of credibility and intrigue to this already mysterious case.

    As we dissect these calls, we explore various theories, from government interference and men in black encounters to time travel and interdimensional beings. Could these calls be a warning? An attempt to communicate from another dimension? Or something even more sinister?

    Join us as we unravel the details of this strange case, discuss its implications, and share our thoughts on what might really be going on. Whether you're here for the high strangeness, the eerie nostalgia of the '90s, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unknown, this episode has something for everyone.

  • S4 E26: Aliens in the Forest - The Cisco Grove Incident
    Sep 16 2024

    Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody dive into an eerie and intense encounter from September 1964, known as the Cisco Grove UFO Incident.

    Imagine being stranded alone in the woods, only to be confronted by mysterious beings and a menacing robot. This is exactly what happened to 26-year-old Donald Shrum, a welder and painter for Aerojet General Corporation, during a hunting trip in Cisco Grove, California.

    Separated from his friends as night fell, Don climbed a tree to avoid predators. What he thought was a search helicopter turned out to be something far more sinister. Over the next 12 hours, Don faced relentless attempts by these beings to abduct him, using knockout gas and other tactics. His survival instincts kicked in as he fought back with everything he had, from arrows to setting his own clothing on fire.

    This episode is packed with high strangeness, from descriptions of the beings that looked like they were wearing welders' goggles to the mechanical robot with glowing red eyes that seemed to emit a knockout gas. We explore the implications of this encounter, the possible motives behind it, and how it affected Don for the rest of his life.

    Could this be a case of extraterrestrial beings collecting samples?

    Or was it a top-secret military experiment gone wrong?

    Join us as we dissect this harrowing tale and discuss the various theories that surround it.

    So sit back, relax, and get ready for an episode filled with suspense, mystery, and the unknown. Whether you're here for the UFOs, the high strangeness, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unexplained, this episode has something for everyone.

  • S4 E25: The Paranormal & Supernatural Wonders of India
    Sep 9 2024

    In this thrilling episode, we dive deep into the mysterious skies of the Himalayas. Imagine sunbathing by a serene lake when suddenly, you spot what you think is a balloon. But as it gets closer, you realize it's something far stranger—a humanoid UFO. This bizarre encounter leads us on a journey through the rugged mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India, where a scientific expedition in 2004 stumbled upon a humanoid UFO that left experts baffled. The encounter lasted 40 minutes, long enough for the scientists to snap photos and observe its complex movements.

    We explore the eerie similarities between this sighting and other mysterious occurrences in the region, including glowing orbs and flying humanoids. Could these events be connected to UFO activity, or is there a more sinister explanation involving advanced technology or even supernatural forces? Join us as we dissect eyewitness accounts, government reports, and ancient myths that suggest the Himalayas are a hotspot for high strangeness.

    We also touch on the fascinating concept of vimanas, ancient flying machines described in Hindu texts, and their possible connection to modern UFO sightings. Are these mysterious objects remnants of an advanced ancient technology, or something even more enigmatic?

    So sit back, relax, and let us take you on a journey through the mystifying skies of the Himalayas.

    Whether you're here for the UFOs, the ancient myths, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unknown, this episode has something for everyone.

    Aug 19 2024

    Howdy, folks, and welcome back to another episode of your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad!

    In this episode, Tyler surprises Woody with a gripping, unsolved mystery that takes us back to the 1960s in Brazil. The tale begins with the discovery of two men found dead on Vintém Hill, wearing identical suits and homemade lead masks. As Tyler unravels the bizarre details, we dive into the men’s involvement in a secret occult society of scientific spiritists, their attempts to contact extraterrestrial spirits, and the strange powder found at their experimental sites.

    We explore the eerie similarities between this case and another death four years earlier involving a lead mask, and the peculiar witness accounts of a flaming, oval-shaped craft seen hovering above the hill. Could these events be connected to UFO activity, or is there a more sinister explanation involving a hit orchestrated by a spiritist group leader?

    Join us as we dissect the strange notes found with the bodies, the unexplained phenomena surrounding their deaths, and the unsettling possibility that these men were involved in something far beyond our understanding. This episode is packed with eerie tales, thought-provoking theories, and the high strangeness that we love to explore.
