Ah, the majesty of Yellowstone National Park. Hot springs, gushing geysers, majestic wildlife, a supervolcano that could kill us all. That\u2019s right, under all of the beauty and wonder is Yellowstone\u2019s supervolcano that by some estimates is overdue to blow. What would happen if the volcano did pop? Mass extinctions? Check. Potentially the end of the U.S. as we know it? Check. A global famine accompanied by a decade long winter? Check. Could this actually be a planet killer \u2013 ending life as we know it on the planet? Maybe not the entire planet, but it could certainly change the course of humanity. So, will it go off soon? Is there anything we can do about it? And strangely enough, would there be a way to turn this whole thing into an advantage? We grab our helmets and go investigating this existential risk this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot roots for the volcano (no surprise there), John questions the scientific viability of a Chinese sci-fi movie (we don\u2019t know why either), and the fellas explore what we could do with a mini black hole right here in the lower 4th (spoiler \u2013 they\u2019d sell tickets). All of that and more on the podcast that\u2019s never faced an extinction level event, but if we did we\u2019d want Billy Bob Thornton to deliver the news \u2013 Hysteria 51.
