John (00:11):
Well, hello and welcome to another episode of Dark
Dialogue Shout chat sessions.
I am your host, John.
And I'm Angelo.
And this is the show where we justtalk about a whole bunch of shit.
Dumb shit.
Weird shit.
Strange shit.
Dip shits.
All the shits.
Yeah.
And we just kinda.
Let our hair down and have a goodtime and talk about a bunch of shit
(00:33):
that doesn't really mean anything,but it sure is fun to talk about.
Angela (00:37):
We've yet to talk about Jack shit.
John (00:40):
We haven't talked about Jack shit yet.
We should probably get thatshit into the mix, right?
I agree.
What's wrong with us?
So Angela, how's it going tonight?
Doing well.
Doing
Angela (00:49):
well in yourself?
John (00:50):
Good.
I'm doing really good.
Just come off a heavyepisode like we always do.
Yep.
So.
I'm ready to have a little bit offun and talk about a bunch of shit.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was weird and strange and funny andridiculous and make fun of some people
and kinda have a little bit of fun.
So you ready to get started?
Yep.
(01:11):
Alright.
We've got our strange headline segment.
Good.
Octopus predicts election outcomeleaves oceanographers speechless.
Angela (01:27):
What
John (01:28):
an octopus at a California research facility made headlines after
seemingly predicting the results of amajor election by choosing be between.
Two labeled shells when thewinner was officially announced.
Days later, the accuracy stunnedresearchers and terrified political
(01:49):
analysts looking for polling alternatives.
The details.
Marine biologists at the MontereyBay Aquarium have been studying
cephalopod intelligence whenone of their Pacific octopuses.
I guess that's the answer to the question.
Nicknamed Ollie, the Oraclebegan displaying an unusual
(02:10):
preference for interactingwith certain symbols on a whim.
Researchers presented Olliewith two shells, one marked
for each political candidate.
Recorded the octopusdragging one into its den.
When the election results mirroredOllie's choice, the team laughed
it off as a, as a coincidence, but.
(02:32):
When the animal repeated thefeat for a local referendum
and a runoff word spread fast.
Soon, news crews, gamblers, and onlineconspiracy theorists were all demanding.
Ollie's endorsement expertsinsist it's just probability and
reinforcement behavior, but socialmedia has already declared Ollie.
(02:54):
The new Paul, the octopus revivingmemories of the 2010 World Cup
malus, who predicted socceroutcomes with eerie precision.
Now the aquarium is flooded with mailhalf fan half fan letters, half demands
for Ali to be consulted for 2028.
My take.
So we have officially hit the pointwhere an octopus is where an octopus
(03:19):
is more trustworthy than a pollster.
Imagine CNN calling.
We're live from the aquarium whereOllie's moving towards shale number two.
Oh, he's ink the tank folks hitsa landslide at this rate, the next
debate will be moderated by a squid
Angela (03:37):
because 50 50 chance.
Doesn't factor in here at all.
John (03:41):
Not at all.
So if Ollie ran for office, wouldvoters even notice the difference?
Angela (03:48):
No.
John (03:48):
I think I'd probably vote for him over most of the politicians.
Angela (03:53):
Ollie?
John (03:53):
Yeah.
Ollie For President
Angela (03:55):
Long Live, Ollie.
John (03:57):
So should we replace political polling with Marine Life
and see if the accuracy improves?
Let's try it.
It cannot get any worse.
I would like
Angela (04:06):
to test him
John (04:06):
with
Angela (04:07):
four shells though, and not be a 50 50 chance.
John (04:12):
I agree.
But.
I still think he would be more freakingmore correct than the pollsters.
I haven't seen a poll that wasanywhere near believable in so
long, I can't even remember it.
So would eating calamari after thisbe considered election interference?
Angela (04:30):
Yes.
John (04:32):
You think so?
Yeah.
I'm gonna have to take the chance'cause I really like calamari.
Angela (04:38):
So does my son.
John (04:40):
So you ready for the conspiracy
Angela (04:42):
corner?
Sure thing.
John (04:44):
Alright.
The dead internet theory.
This one was interesting.
Have you ever heard about this?
Angela (04:52):
No.
John (04:53):
It's, it's, it
Angela (04:54):
happened to us yesterday for a time.
John (04:57):
Yeah, and I dunno, I dunno.
So a growing number of online usersbelieve that most of the internet,
including news videos and even socialmedia interactions, is now controlled by
AI generated content and fake personas.
The dead internet theory suggeststhat sometime between 2016 and
(05:19):
2020, the organic human-driven webquietly died according to proponents.
What remains is a massive simulationmaintained by corporations and government.
They claim that the majority ofposts, comments, and even users on
platforms like X and Reddit are botstrained to steer opinion, generate
(05:41):
profit, or manipulate engagement.
One cornerstone example, identicalcomments and emojis appearing
simultaneously across unrelated accounts.
Researchers counter that these patternsstem from algorithmic content recycling.
But believers argue that AIhas surpassed detection and now
(06:02):
controls discourse entirely.
Some even point to deep fakeinfluencers, clone voices, and
synthetic news anchors as proof.
The web itself has become self-sustaining.
A ghost town filled with digitalechoes pretending to be people.
My take if this theory is true.
(06:23):
I guess I've been arguing with AIabout barbecue recipes for years,
which actually explains quite a bit.
Maybe the bots just like dry ribs, buthonestly, if 80% of the web is fake, then
at least it explains why everyone suddenlytalks like SE, like an SEO consultant.
Angela (06:46):
I, you've been arguing with AI for a long time, John.
Yes, I have.
John (06:51):
Yes, I
Angela (06:51):
have.
It's just now starting to argue back.
John (06:54):
Well, it's been arguing back for a while too, because it told me that
if I didn't stop using the F word,that it wasn't gonna tell me anymore.
Angela (07:03):
Well, and I'm sorry,
John (07:07):
but I mean, what do you think about this?
I think it might be true.
It might be true.
Angela (07:14):
I mean.
I think
John (07:16):
it might
Angela (07:16):
be true.
Just kind of feel like saying and becauseyeah, what whatcha gonna do about it, and
John (07:25):
I know I've been saying it's Skynet for years and you, you people
wait and see, man, it's Skynet.
So would AI trolls stillcount as free speech?
Angela (07:39):
That's a good question.
John (07:41):
The answer is an unequivocal hell no.
No way.
Angela (07:46):
Because an iRobot, they're not allowed to have.
Robots aren't allowed to have feelings.
John (07:54):
Yeah.
The three rules, and we knowhow well that worked out.
Angela (08:00):
That's true.
Listen to me live with
John (08:03):
the movies.
So how would you even prove thatyou're real in a fake internet?
Oh, you
Angela (08:09):
know, it's dragging the puzzle piece to fix the picture or identifying.
All of the pictureswith a bicycle in it, or
John (08:18):
just until
Angela (08:19):
we tell we're we're
John (08:20):
real or just clicking the little thing that says, I'm not a robot.
Yeah.
Like AI could never figure that one out.
Figure that out.
So if the bots are doing all of theposting, can they start paying for
the subscriptions to They should.
Damn right.
They should.
But I, I, in all honesty, before weleave this story, I, I mean, we've said
(08:41):
it before, all of this bullshit contentthat gets posted on Facebook and all
this crap, you can't believe anything.
No.
It, and I gotta wonder how much ofit is just all phony fake AI crap.
Angela (08:53):
It's so bad, so bad now.
They're not even tryingto do a good job recently.
John (09:01):
No, it's terrible.
Yeah.
It's like sending a picturethat's taken in downtown Tokyo and
saying, me driving through Wyoming.
Angela (09:10):
Yeah.
John (09:10):
And you're like, uh, yeah.
I mean this uhhuh, this is so dumb.
It's not even worth commenting on
Angela (09:16):
all of the octopus lives in Wyoming.
Lane isn't.
Yeah.
AI can make that happen.
John (09:21):
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
You ready for the Reddit rabbit hole?
Angela (09:27):
Is it AI or is it real?
John (09:29):
The is Reddit probably half ai.
It doesn't mean that the red rabbithole isn't entertaining though.
Angela (09:36):
Entertain me.
John (09:41):
The 2025 Dystopia Forecast.
A viral Reddit mega threadinvited users to predict what
everyday life would look like.
If 2025 became the first year ofcollapse, the results were equal, equal
parts terrifying and darkly hilarious.
Started in early Octoberon our future fears.
(10:05):
The thread asks, what will the averageday look like when things finally break?
Tens of tens of thousands of userschimed in constructing an eerily detailed
shared universe post described energy.
Rationing neighborhood barter systemsand wifi prayer circles for when the
(10:25):
power flickered back on one top comment.
Imagine TikTok influencers still filmingApocalypse Hall videos, surviving the
grid crash, but make it aesthetic.
Another described nationalized doorpass, DoorDash, where delivery drivers
operate on horseback, the scariest part.
(10:46):
A few predictions.
Eely match current headlines,food price spikes, drone
patrols, and corporate run towns.
The thread has.
Since become a living timeline of internetanxiety with new users returning daily
to add updates and forecast corrections,many say reading, it feels like
watching the future argue with itself.
(11:08):
My take, honestly, half those predictionssound like Wyoming on a windy day,
but hey, at least when the world ends,Reddit will still be there arguing
about whatever water filters or sarcasmare the better survival tour tool.
Angela (11:24):
Apocalypse hacks,
John (11:26):
apocalypse Hacks.
Yeah.
So if Reddit survived the apocalypse,would Karma points still matter?
Angela (11:36):
It's, it's just like the show, the games made up and the points don't matter.
John (11:41):
Exactly.
I mean.
Yeah, I, I seriously doubt, likeif, if it all went to hell, if it
was the apocalypse, I doubt theinternet would still be operating.
Just saying, yeah, but
Angela (11:55):
because you told me yesterday you have to scream loud enough
for me to hear you, to run, hide
John (11:59):
exactly what we were talking about.
If there's a EMP large enough towipe out the power grid, then how
would I let you know that it's.
It's time.
It's time die.
You can't find me minute,
but who's running thewifi prayer circle anyway.
And are there snacks?
Angela (12:19):
Probably my mom.
Probably my mom and, andsure, I'll make snacks.
Why not?
John (12:28):
So is it still looting if you're just liberating content
from an influencer's bunker?
No.
No, I, I don't think so either.
Angela (12:35):
Commandeering, remember a hundred
John (12:38):
percent the pirate days?
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
Alright,
Angela (12:42):
so
John (12:43):
we ready for the dip Shits diary
Angela (12:46):
always.
John (12:48):
It's kind of my favorite section, not waiting for
Angela (12:50):
the day.
I'm in there.
I'm just in there.
Yeah, you're
John (12:52):
not allowed to go in there.
Angela (12:54):
I'm just really waiting for the day where you're like, dip shit diaries.
We're talking about you
John (13:06):
dip shit.
Diary.
All right.
Dip shit.
Diary number one, cook.
Arrested for stealingrestaurants secret recipes.
A fired Missouri chef returnedto his old restaurant to steal
its handwritten dessert Recipes.
Then Bragg online abouthaving the real formula.
(13:30):
Police say.
The man recently terminated forinsubordination, snuck back into
the closed bistro one night, brokeinto the manager's office and
took the laminated recipe sheets.
He then posted a photoof his victory cookie.
On social media completewith the restaurant's logo
reflected in the mixing bowl.
(13:51):
Detectives tracked the image metadataand arrested him within 48 hours.
The restaurant released a statementsaying their quote, secret recipes.
We're actually copied from Pinterest.
Anyway, my take this man risked,gel for a dessert that probably
starts with box pudding mix.
Honestly, the only secretingredient here was stupidity.
Angela (14:15):
Some Italian grandmas pissed.
So
John (14:20):
I mean, what?
Come on.
Angela (14:23):
I know.
John (14:24):
So should recipe theft be punished or just roasted publicly?
Well.
Bull.
I mean, in all honesty, if a restauranthas a truly secret recipe and they do,
man, there's like, that's, they do.
Like if you steal the CheesecakeFactories, cheesecake recipe
(14:46):
or like the Olive GardensBreadstick recipe or whatever.
Like, I mean that is,that's a huge felony.
The value of that is wellinto felony territory.
Angela (15:01):
But there's a website out there, copycat.com.
Copycat recipes.com, or it's always,you can always find it on there.
John (15:10):
Oh, yeah.
And you can find, I mean, youknow, they do the same thing.
They like basically, youknow, reverse engineer it.
Yeah.
And to make it taste.
Pretty much exactly the same, you know?
And that's, and that's notthe, that's not a thing.
But to actually take and stealthe actual recipe is all I'm
saying is the value of that Yeah.
Is well into felony territory.
(15:33):
What's the dumbest crime worth calling?
Worth?
Calling 9 1 1 for recipe
Angela (15:39):
theft, recipe theft.
John (15:42):
I mean,
Angela (15:43):
I don't know.
John (15:45):
I don't, I think it's like the, the best one, and I know
I've mentioned this before, but.
And I've heard a couple of these, but thebest 9 1 1 calls are the ones that people
get stoned and they think they're dying.
Hi, and they call 9 1 1 becausethey're certain they're gonna die.
Those are the best ones.
Angela (16:04):
I'm floating out of the window right now.
John (16:08):
So would Gordon, he's day
Angela (16:10):
balloon.
John (16:12):
Would Gordon Ramsey call this criminally under baked?
Angela (16:16):
Gordon Ramsey would definitely have something to say about this
and I would love to hear it.
John (16:21):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he would.
I think that I've watched like a kitchennightmares where um Oh, I know I have.
And the dudes were like, we won'tshow recipes with our cooks.
And he's like.
What
Angela (16:34):
did I cookie?
I know.
John (16:36):
Yeah.
Angela (16:36):
I love Gordon Ramsey.
John (16:38):
Yeah, he's awesome.
And he's awesome.
And John Taffer thatdoes the Bar Rescue one.
He's, he's cool too.
I like it when they go in and yell at him.
Call him dumb.
And I mean, it's probably most trait in
Angela (16:49):
the end.
John (16:50):
They fix everything I know.
All right.
Dip shit.
Diary number two.
Inmate pretends to be Judge callsthe jail to free his friend.
A Louisiana man, imperson.
This is a bit of a, so bear Louisiana man.
Impersonated a local judge.
(17:10):
Over the phone to springhis buddy from jail.
The scheme On April 16th, Saint Romainecalled the jail while posing as a
local judge and arranged for the bondof inmate demon, Lynn Dai Sr. To be
changed to a released on recognizanceorder, which requires no cash bail.
(17:34):
Della Hue wa, who was being heldon an aggravated burglary charge
was subsequently released in June.
The fraud was not discovereduntil July 17th when Della
Hue appeared for a court date.
He was immediately rearrested andreturned to Cal Kasu Correctional Center.
(17:58):
Undeterred St. Romaine calledthe jail two more times in July.
Again, impersonating a judgein an unsuccessful attempt to
arrange for Della Hu's release.
These calls prompted detectivesto launch an investigation.
St. Romaine was arrested on September9th on an unrelated warrant.
He was then charged withfalse impersonation, assisting
(18:21):
escape, attempted simple escape.
And injuring public recordsfor his role in the scheme.
The Ka Casu Parish Sheriff's Officestated that while it is not unusual
for judges to call in bond reductionsover the phone, the situation
occurred due to a quote, honesterror and a quote, lack of training.
(18:44):
The department announced the new policieshave been implemented to ensure this
type of situation does not happen again.
My take.
If you're going to impersonatea judge, maybe Google how
to pronounce the name first.
It's like faking a doctor's noteand signing it, Dr. Mc medicine.
So, and I guess they missed puttingthat in there, but that's how they knew
(19:09):
in July when he called, 'cause he, helike mispronounced, um, recognizance.
Angela (19:16):
Oh,
John (19:16):
like he couldn't, he couldn't pronounce it correctly, and
that's when they were like, uh,we don't think you're a judge.
Because he is like, yeah, I, I wanthim released on his own recognition.
So,
oh my goodness.
I mean, the stunningpart to me, honestly, is.
(19:38):
When they say it's not unusual fora judge to call and what, yeah.
How is that not unusual?
How is that not impossible?
Yeah.
That you don't have legal that's going
Angela (19:50):
through a bunch of checks and balances.
Are
John (19:51):
you kidding me?
Yeah.
You don't have legal paperwork in hand?
Yeah.
Before you release somebody.
Angela (19:58):
Yeah.
Like.
John (19:59):
I mean, I cannot get a checking account without shit being notarized.
I mean, are you kidding me?
We can let people outtajail on a phone call
Angela (20:10):
bill, prove your address.
Yes.
And
John (20:13):
you let somebody outta jail on a phone call, like
Angela (20:16):
even renew your driver's license without all that.
John (20:19):
If this shit is real, why isn't somebody doing this all the time?
Angela (20:23):
I,
John (20:23):
I mean, this is the easiest way to escape jail ever.
Just call and say, oh,this is the judge Tony Mo.
Angela (20:30):
Just make sure you can pronounce all your words first.
John (20:34):
I mean, I, I was stunned when I read that.
Wow.
When the cop was like, well,it's not really that unusual.
I'm like, what?
How, how can this not be unusual?
How.
Angela (20:44):
I think that's something we need to change.
John (20:47):
So it really brings up my first question.
And how often does this actually work?
I don't.
Well, it worked once the dude got out.
I know, but how often do we not know about
Angela (20:57):
I?
I don't like that.
John (21:00):
Would you trust any judge who says.
Yeah, bro.
Just let him go.
Angela (21:04):
Yeah, bro.
Bro,
John (21:06):
bro.
Yeah, bro.
Let him go.
Angela (21:08):
Yeah.
Six, seven, let him go.
John (21:10):
Should Louisiana add common sense to sentencing guidelines
just or for on job applications?
I
Angela (21:18):
mean, come on.
And it was an inmate, sowas it not a recorded call?
John (21:24):
No, I mean, the judge called like the.
The office, you know, like the sheriff'soffice to speak to the sheriff.
He didn't call the inmate.
He called like the, he calledthe facility and was like, yeah,
I've decided to change my mind.
I just never heard of this shit before.
Oh,
Angela (21:43):
I know.
I, I don't like it.
Where is that?
John (21:46):
In Louisiana?
Louisiana.
I don't, I don't like it.
I, I, I got exactly,I got nothing on this.
I, if it happens ever, like if this isa common thing, we got some work to do
on our justice system because, well,
Angela (22:03):
we already did, but
John (22:05):
a lot more now dip shit.
Diary number three, Nana restedafter falling asleep in bathtub.

for allegedly trespassing.
Disorderly conduct,resisting and obstructing.
MPD officers said, officerssaid that his blood alcohol

concentration was found to be 0.29.
Might take, I guess, crime does payin self-care time somewhere there's a
mugshot of this guy in a towel lookinglike a criminally hydrated Pluto.
Angela (23:25):
Calgon take me away.
John (23:26):
So, uh,
Angela (23:29):
how good was this bathtub?
He's refusing to leave,
John (23:32):
right?
No, I'm not leaving the bathtub.
Of course, I have been that drunk before.
So in
Angela (23:39):
someone else's house
John (23:40):
actually, yeah.
Angela (23:41):
Oh, okay then yeah.
Are you sure this wasn't you?
John (23:44):
I was in the bed.
Angela (23:45):
Okay.
Yeah.
John (23:46):
Yeah.
Angela (23:47):
Alright.
John (23:47):
But should breaking and entering come with a spa
surcharge Should and Baal agreed.
So how does one explainthis to a cellmate?
So there I was
in a shootout with the police.
I dove into the bathtub.
(24:08):
In the bathtub.
So is this the cleanestarrest in Florida history?
Angela (24:14):
Probably.
John (24:15):
I think it probably is.
Probably
Angela (24:18):
scrubbing bubbles, man.
John (24:19):
Absolutely.
Alright, you ready forour weird shit section?
It gets weirder.
Weird shit.
Weird shit.
Number one, strange lightsreturn over Nevada Desert.
(24:41):
When did they leave pilotsnear Nellis Air Force?
Air Force Range once again reportedshifting orbs of light, the
defied radar and flight patterns.
For three consecutive nights,multiple pilots flying, commercial
and private routes over SouthernNevada reported glowing orbs.
That pulses shifted colors anddarted in erratic patterns.
(25:05):
Air traffic controllers confirmed.
No radar signatures, no militarydrills, and no storms in the area.
Videos shot by civilians show threeAmber lights forming a triangle
before fading to blue and vanishing.
Locals recall similar sightingsin the 1990s linked to black
(25:25):
project aircraft tests.
But this time, even retired militarypilots admitted they were baffled.
The Pentagon issued a boiler points,a boilerplate statement, denying
involvement, fueling speculationthat either the next generation
steal project just went public orextraterrestrials have impeccable timing.
(25:47):
MiTek.
Either aliens are back or Nevada justdiscovered, moonlighting for the sky
somewhere, a UFO's out there thinking,let's mess with the humans again.
Angela (25:57):
Yeah.
John (25:59):
So are these military tests or celestial?
Trolls?
Angela (26:04):
Trolls.
And they're just therefor the slot machines.
John (26:08):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, you know, reading this one and
comparing it to like the men, menlights, they're very, very similar.
Right?
And they're freaking in Australia,they've been going on for like
a hundred years or whatever.
We've been seeing weird shit in Nevada forat least in since like the forties, right?
Thirties and so.
I just honestly don't know whatthe hell to think about this.
(26:30):
I think some of this shit isprobably government doing shit
that we don't know nothing about.
Yeah, and then I think some ofit is legit, unidentified shit.
We don't know.
I ain't saying aliens, I'm sayingI don't know what the hell it is.
Angela (26:45):
Un that's what the U is, is unidentified.
John (26:47):
Right.
So if aliens land, dowe owe them back taxes?
No.
Oh, they owe that.
That's, I was gonna say they owe us.
Damnit.
Angela (26:58):
You don't just show up.
It's,
John (27:01):
you have to pay to live yours.
So should area 51 start selling tickets?
Yes.
I think they ought to freakinglet us know what the hell's in
there and put on all the rest.
Angela (27:11):
Do you know how many roads.
Would be fixed.
Schools would be funded if theywould sell tickets to Area 51.
John (27:22):
No shit.
Yeah.
Angela (27:24):
All the programs that could end world hunger.
Maybe I'm taking it a little too
John (27:30):
far,
Angela (27:30):
but
John (27:31):
you can make a lot of freaking money
Angela (27:33):
happening if they would sell tickets and whatever the hell
John (27:36):
they're hiding.
Yeah.
We deserve to know.
Yeah.
I don't give a shit what it is.
We deserve to know it.
Yeah, because they're not hiding some.
I.
Dates back to the forties orwhenever the shit that happened,
Angela (27:55):
right?
John (27:55):
You know,
Angela (27:56):
I will say, you go first and report back to me and make sure that my
anxiety can handle it, and then I'll go,
John (28:02):
fair enough?
Okay.
Fair enough.
Weird shit.
Number two, the Appalachian TrailGhost Soldiers were cited again.
Hikers in Maryland Civil War sectionreported seeing blue uniformed apparitions
marching silently through the fog.
Along the stretch near South Mountainhikers described ghostly formations
(28:24):
of men in union uniforms carryingfaded muskets, marching at dusk.
Through Rolling Mist.
Witnesses claim to hear faint drumbeatsand smell gunpowder with no source.
Paranormal investigators capturedwhispered EVPs saying still
marching and can't find homeHistorians note that the areas.
(28:45):
Saw brutal skirmishes in 1862 and dozensof unmarked burial sites remain nearby.
Rangers confirmed multiple, multiplereports over the years, often clustered
around the anniversary of the battle.
While skeptics attribute the phenomenonto fog, fatigue, or imagination,
(29:06):
even seasoned hikers, admit, theair feels heavier there as if
the war itself never quite ended.
My take.
I'd love to see the ParkService deal with this quote.
Please stay on the Trail,respect Wildlife and ignore the
19th century infantry in the
Angela (29:24):
don't touch.
John (29:28):
First of all, your thoughts on this one.
I hope it's true.
I mean, I gotta tell you, I,I got a thing about visiting,
like battlefields and stuff.
Mm-hmm.
I've gone to several, you know, nativebattlefields, the Battle of Little
Bighorn, the Battle of the Big Hole.
I've been to several of 'em.
I've been to Gettysburg, I've been, and.
(29:50):
Some of 'em, I've
Angela (29:51):
been everywhere
John (29:56):
and not all of them share this, but some of them, and
one of them was Gettysburg.
It does feel.
Different there.
Mm-hmm.
The air feels different.
I don't know.
It's hard to explain.
Yeah.
I've heard that a lot ofpeople, I haven't been, but I've
heard it from a lot of people.
It is, and I don't, I never couldquite say, okay, this is a mental
(30:19):
thing where I'm just overwhelmedthinking like, every person that died
here was an American and it's just,
Angela (30:26):
yeah.
John (30:26):
Overwhelming or.
But you know, I mean, with the waythat I believe with like the native
battles and stuff, I can say thesame thing about the battle of the
little Bighorn and shit like that.
You know
Angela (30:37):
about to say, Custer, you've been, I'm, I'm sure you've been, that's the,
John (30:42):
that's a little bighorn.
Yeah.
I
Angela (30:45):
felt weird there.
John (30:46):
You felt it there?
Yeah.
See, I never have felt it there.
Angela (30:50):
Not weird, bad, but like
John (30:53):
heavy,
Angela (30:54):
an overwhelming like emotional.
Response, which I've heardpeople have felt at Alcatraz
and people have felt Yeah.
At all, you know, mes casualty areas.
John (31:09):
And I can, for me, I don't fill 'em every, I don't feel it everywhere.
Like I've, I've not felt it at the battle.
A little bit horn.
Yeah.
I mean, it's very valid that you had it.
Bad
Angela (31:19):
feeling.
It was just emotional,like, this is heavy, this is
John (31:24):
right.
And kind of what I'mexplaining is different.
Okay.
It's heavy, it's dark.
It's like, okay, that wasn't dark.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I don't think I wouldgo back to Gettysburg because.
I just didn't like how I felt.
Mm-hmm.
And I've, I've done like tons ofprison tours and most of 'em where
(31:45):
I like really dig 'em and stuff.
But there's been a few moundsvilleprison in Moundsville, West
Virginia was one of 'em.
Mm-hmm.
Where I don't think I go back there.
It's just this dark ABBfeeling that's like.
Uhuh, something's not right here.
Like something is off.
Good, bad, indifferent.
I don't know.
I just know I don't like how I feel here.
(32:08):
Right.
So, I don't know.
It's weird, but
Angela (32:10):
kind of wanna go there now, but, um,
John (32:12):
Moundsville.
Angela (32:13):
Yeah,
John (32:13):
it's a creep.
What your favorite dude?
He did a, a thing there.
Oh yeah.
And I mean, it's afreaking creepy ass place.
It's one of the creepiestprisons I've ever toured.
So, but do ghosts get vacation days?
Angela (32:27):
No, sadly
John (32:28):
I don't think so either.
So would a Civil War spirit behorrified by modern camping gear?
Yes.
You probably are intrigued one of the two
Angela (32:38):
or a little pissed, like, we didn't get it right.
How dare they.
John (32:43):
So if
Angela (32:43):
you reason and such, you just pop the thing and it heats up.
Yeah,
John (32:47):
exactly.
If you salute a ghostsoldier, does he salute back?
I hope so.
Well, they should.
Angela (32:53):
I mean.
You, it's respect, right?
Absolutely.
So come on.
Dammit, damnit, have to put you find a
John (33:02):
point on it.
Dammit.
Alright.
Weird shit.
Number three.
Yes, Bigfoot.
Evidence from Oregon gets DNA, tested.
Angela (33:11):
Don't tell me it's wrong.
John (33:12):
Hair found near an old logging camp, near an old logging camp.
Tested as quote unknown primate, DNA.
Reigniting Bigfoot Fever collectedby hikers near Mount Hood in 2023.
The reddish brown hair clumps weresent to an independent genetics
lab, which returned the vague buttantalizing result of un identified
(33:36):
primate species researchers ruledout bear elk or human contamination.
The US Forest Service quietly reopenedan archive case from 1978 describing
similar evidence collected by aranger who vanished soon thereafter.
Encrypted enthusiasts floodedthe area, setting up trail cams
(33:58):
and plaster casting tracks.
Skeptics argue the sample was mishandledor misread, but the timing near an uptick
in local reports has reignited the legend,whether it's a hoax or un, an undiscovered
ape, or just a really hairy hiker.
Oregon once again findsitself the unofficial capital
(34:20):
of monster anthropology.
My take.
Unknown pri.
Unknown primate.
DNA, huh?
Either we found Bigfoot or theOregon Zoo lost another intern.
So first of all, thoughts,
Angela (34:37):
I am happy.
Yeah.
Yep.
So Bigfoot's out there, man,
John (34:42):
you, you really think so.
You think I do.
You don't think somebody like tooksome monkey hair or something?
And of
Angela (34:47):
course they, well, I don't know about this, but I really do
believe that bigfoot's out there.
John (34:52):
Yeah, I would've to research this a little bit more.
Is it, I mean, no, it said, I don't know.
That's, that's pretty freaking convincing.
An unidentified primate species.
So nobody got no like orangutanhair, no shit like that.
'cause it would've comeback as an orangutan.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So, I dunno, man, I dunnothis, maybe there's some to it.
(35:16):
I dig it.
So how long before Disney Plus makesA makes this a three part special?
Angela (35:24):
It's probably already out.
John (35:25):
It probably definitely in the works.
So if it's Bigfoot, does hequalify for endangered status?
Angela (35:34):
He should.
He should.
I guess we don't know how many there are.
John (35:40):
Well, according to.
According to Shadow Chat sessions,there's a shit ton of them.
Yeah.
They're all over the freaking place.
So
Angela (35:50):
they're, and according to John, there has to be at least two.
John (35:54):
There has to be at least two.
There has to be at least two in Oregon.
Angela (36:01):
He's, maybe he's just visiting.
I, who knows?
They go on vacation too, man.
John (36:06):
Yeah, I'm sure they have their own planes, which we can't see too.
Angela (36:09):
Those, those lights in Nevada.
I have figured it all out.
John (36:12):
You have figured it all out
Angela (36:14):
on mic drop.
I'm done.
John (36:16):
So should the Forest Service issue him a driver's license
Angela (36:19):
by now?
Probably.
I. But I, I think he has to take the testlike the rest of us, and I want three
forms of proof of residence notarized.
John (36:30):
Well, he is in Oregon.
They don't count any of that shit.
You just show up and get afreaking driver's license.
Have you not been watching the news?
All these illegals that are freakingcrashing trucks all over the place.
Angela (36:40):
Oh,
John (36:42):
I'm sure Bigfoot can get a driver's license in California.
Probably everybody else can.
All right.
Weird shit.
Number four, the Roman Cursetablet unearthed in Bath, England.
Archeologists decoded a 1700year old curse inscribed on
(37:03):
lead, targeting the thief of somebath towels during excavations.
Near the ancient Roman baths of AquaSolis, researchers discovered a rolled
lead tablet inscribed in Latin onceunrolled it revealed a handwritten plea
to the Goddess Solace Minerva quote.
(37:24):
May the thief who stole mytowels lose his mind in sight
until the items are returned.
Experts say such Dfi Ds.
Or curse tablets were commonpersonal revenge tools.
In Roman culture, citizens would writegrievances on metal, fold the sheet,
(37:48):
and toss it into sacred springs, hopingthe deity would handle customer service.
The discovery offers a glimpseinto daily Roman life and human
pettiness across the millennials.
Apparently people have been losingtheir minds over missing towels
since before plumbing my take.
Some guy's eternal soul isroasting over stolen towels.
(38:13):
The Romans invented Yelp reviews,just meaner and incursive.
Angela (38:18):
What was the thread count
John (38:20):
of the towels?
Yeah.
Who knows?
Probably like 12.
It was the Romans.
I
Angela (38:24):
know.
I have, uh, new plans for the weekend.
I shall be acquiring a bunch of metal.
I have a list Right.
Suit
John (38:34):
and throwing them out to in the water list.
Yeah, there you go.
Angela (38:37):
I'm just gonna go throw 'em in the springs at Thermopolis
and we'll just see what happens.
Right on.
John (38:44):
So what's the Pettiest thing worth cursing over?
Angela (38:47):
I'm pretty sure it's towels.
John (38:49):
You think so?
Angela (38:49):
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
You felt like you had a. A thing there?
John (38:55):
No, you, you're the one with the list.
Oh.
So I'm just wondering.
Angela (38:58):
No, my list is not pandemic.
John (39:01):
No.
Angela (39:02):
No.
John (39:04):
So would modern curses be written on Yelp?
Angela (39:07):
Yeah.
But then where do you throw 'em?
John (39:10):
I don't know.
The AI world, I guess AI does it.
And is there a god of lost baths?
Apparently, yeah.
What was the name?
Uh, the name was Goddess Solis Minerva.
Angela (39:27):
Solis Minerva.
The god of lo goddess of lost BALs.
John (39:31):
Yeah, apparently.
All right.
All right.
Well, weird shit.
Number five, sky quakes heardacross the eastern United States.
Residents from Maine to Maryland reporteddeafening booms with no visible cause.
Starting early Tuesday morning, thousandsof residents across New England and the
(39:52):
Mid-Atlantic called emergency services.
After hearing thunderous explosionsthat rattled windows and set off
alarms, seismographs showed no quakeactivity and meteorologists ruled
out thunder meteors or sonic booms.
Witnesses describe the sound as a quote.
A cannon fired from the clouds.
(40:14):
The National Weather Service suggestedatmospheric pressure shifts might cause
sound waves to travel unusually far,but offered no definitive explanation.
Theories range from secret militaryflights to collapsing air pockets, or if
you ask Reddit, interdimensional rifts.
Whatever it was, people agreed onone thing, it was loud enough to make
(40:38):
the entire East coast collectivelylook up and say, well, that's
concerning my take every year.
It's the same.
Someone breaks the sky again.
Maybe it's just aliensdrag racing above Delaware.
Angela (40:53):
Yeah.
John (40:55):
So what's louder sky quicks or your neighbor's leaf blower.
Angela (41:01):
I'm gonna go with Sky Quakes for 200, Alex.
John (41:05):
I
Angela (41:05):
mean,
John (41:06):
it sounds like a sonic boom.
Angela (41:09):
Yeah, and those,
John (41:10):
but I can't explain how it could be heard over that far of a
distance because I, I mean, I've heard'em before, but never states away.
Angela (41:21):
I gotta say, I kind of miss them.
John (41:23):
Yeah,
Angela (41:24):
I do.
Like I heard 'em a lot inchildhood and I kind of miss 'em.
John (41:28):
Yeah, you don't hear 'em as much anymore.
Angela (41:30):
It's illegal now, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
John (41:34):
But I don't know, man.
I got nothing on this.
I have no freaking cluewhat the hell it is.
No, shouldn't NASA start a,whoops, my atmosphere's hotline.
Angela (41:44):
NASA should turn the base down, apparently.
John (41:46):
Apparently.
Angela (41:47):
Yeah.
John (41:48):
I mean, there's a lot of this weird shit that.
I honestly think we need answers too.
Mm-hmm.
Like, I know I make fun of this stuff, butat the end of the day, like what is it?
We should know what theanswer is to this shit.
And if the government's involved,they need to suck it up and tell us.
And if they're not, that's even morefreaking concerning and we need to
(42:09):
know what's causing a lot of this shit.
Yeah.
The freaking TAUs hum.
The freaking weird shit inWashington that we talked about.
The sonic booms in the sky,the all the weird shit.
We need to know about it.
Angela (42:25):
John wants answers.
John (42:26):
Damn straight.
I do.
So if the sky explodes, but you filmit vertically, does it still count?
Angela (42:34):
Spoof a tree falls in a forest, right?
Right.
Who's counting.
John (42:44):
Indeed who is counting, but I do know one thing that is all
that I put together for us tonight.
So what do you have toadd to tonight's episode?
Angela (42:57):
I did not bring anything to the table.
No, no I didn't.
Oh, you
John (43:02):
never do.
Angela (43:03):
I know.
I terrible.
John (43:06):
Well, I does
Angela (43:07):
all,
John (43:08):
I just show
Angela (43:09):
up and talk.
John (43:09):
If you had nothing to add, then I guess that.

Dialogue Shout chat sessions.
I am your host, John.
And I'm Angelo.
And this is the show where we justtalk about a whole bunch of shit.
Dumb shit.
Weird shit.
Strange shit.
Dip shits.
All the shits.
Yeah.
And we just kinda.
Let our hair down and have a goodtime and talk about a bunch of shit
(00:33):
that doesn't really mean anything,but it sure is fun to talk about.
Angela (00:37):
We've yet to talk about Jack shit.
John (00:40):
We haven't talked about Jack shit yet.
We should probably get thatshit into the mix, right?
I agree.
What's wrong with us?
So Angela, how's it going tonight?
Doing well.
Doing
Angela (00:49):
well in yourself?
John (00:50):
Good.
I'm doing really good.
Just come off a heavyepisode like we always do.
Yep.
So.
I'm ready to have a little bit offun and talk about a bunch of shit.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was weird and strange and funny andridiculous and make fun of some people
and kinda have a little bit of fun.
So you ready to get started?
Yep.
(01:11):
Alright.
We've got our strange headline segment.
Good.
Octopus predicts election outcomeleaves oceanographers speechless.
Angela (01:27):
What
John (01:28):
an octopus at a California research facility made headlines after
seemingly predicting the results of amajor election by choosing be between.
Two labeled shells when thewinner was officially announced.
Days later, the accuracy stunnedresearchers and terrified political
(01:49):
analysts looking for polling alternatives.
The details.
Marine biologists at the MontereyBay Aquarium have been studying
cephalopod intelligence whenone of their Pacific octopuses.
I guess that's the answer to the question.
Nicknamed Ollie, the Oraclebegan displaying an unusual
(02:10):
preference for interactingwith certain symbols on a whim.
Researchers presented Olliewith two shells, one marked
for each political candidate.
Recorded the octopusdragging one into its den.
When the election results mirroredOllie's choice, the team laughed
it off as a, as a coincidence, but.
(02:32):
When the animal repeated thefeat for a local referendum
and a runoff word spread fast.
Soon, news crews, gamblers, and onlineconspiracy theorists were all demanding.
Ollie's endorsement expertsinsist it's just probability and
reinforcement behavior, but socialmedia has already declared Ollie.
(02:54):
The new Paul, the octopus revivingmemories of the 2010 World Cup
malus, who predicted socceroutcomes with eerie precision.
Now the aquarium is flooded with mailhalf fan half fan letters, half demands
for Ali to be consulted for 2028.
My take.
So we have officially hit the pointwhere an octopus is where an octopus
(03:19):
is more trustworthy than a pollster.
Imagine CNN calling.
We're live from the aquarium whereOllie's moving towards shale number two.
Oh, he's ink the tank folks hitsa landslide at this rate, the next
debate will be moderated by a squid
Angela (03:37):
because 50 50 chance.
Doesn't factor in here at all.
John (03:41):
Not at all.
So if Ollie ran for office, wouldvoters even notice the difference?
Angela (03:48):
No.
John (03:48):
I think I'd probably vote for him over most of the politicians.
Angela (03:53):
Ollie?
John (03:53):
Yeah.
Ollie For President
Angela (03:55):
Long Live, Ollie.
John (03:57):
So should we replace political polling with Marine Life
and see if the accuracy improves?
Let's try it.
It cannot get any worse.
I would like
Angela (04:06):
to test him
John (04:06):
with
Angela (04:07):
four shells though, and not be a 50 50 chance.
John (04:12):
I agree.
But.
I still think he would be more freakingmore correct than the pollsters.
I haven't seen a poll that wasanywhere near believable in so
long, I can't even remember it.
So would eating calamari after thisbe considered election interference?
Angela (04:30):
Yes.
John (04:32):
You think so?
Yeah.
I'm gonna have to take the chance'cause I really like calamari.
Angela (04:38):
So does my son.
John (04:40):
So you ready for the conspiracy
Angela (04:42):
corner?
Sure thing.
John (04:44):
Alright.
The dead internet theory.
This one was interesting.
Have you ever heard about this?
Angela (04:52):
No.
John (04:53):
It's, it's, it
Angela (04:54):
happened to us yesterday for a time.
John (04:57):
Yeah, and I dunno, I dunno.
So a growing number of online usersbelieve that most of the internet,
including news videos and even socialmedia interactions, is now controlled by
AI generated content and fake personas.
The dead internet theory suggeststhat sometime between 2016 and
(05:19):
2020, the organic human-driven webquietly died according to proponents.
What remains is a massive simulationmaintained by corporations and government.
They claim that the majority ofposts, comments, and even users on
platforms like X and Reddit are botstrained to steer opinion, generate
(05:41):
profit, or manipulate engagement.
One cornerstone example, identicalcomments and emojis appearing
simultaneously across unrelated accounts.
Researchers counter that these patternsstem from algorithmic content recycling.
But believers argue that AIhas surpassed detection and now
(06:02):
controls discourse entirely.
Some even point to deep fakeinfluencers, clone voices, and
synthetic news anchors as proof.
The web itself has become self-sustaining.
A ghost town filled with digitalechoes pretending to be people.
My take if this theory is true.
(06:23):
I guess I've been arguing with AIabout barbecue recipes for years,
which actually explains quite a bit.
Maybe the bots just like dry ribs, buthonestly, if 80% of the web is fake, then
at least it explains why everyone suddenlytalks like SE, like an SEO consultant.
Angela (06:46):
I, you've been arguing with AI for a long time, John.
Yes, I have.
John (06:51):
Yes, I
Angela (06:51):
have.
It's just now starting to argue back.
John (06:54):
Well, it's been arguing back for a while too, because it told me that
if I didn't stop using the F word,that it wasn't gonna tell me anymore.
Angela (07:03):
Well, and I'm sorry,
John (07:07):
but I mean, what do you think about this?
I think it might be true.
It might be true.
Angela (07:14):
I mean.
I think
John (07:16):
it might
Angela (07:16):
be true.
Just kind of feel like saying and becauseyeah, what whatcha gonna do about it, and
John (07:25):
I know I've been saying it's Skynet for years and you, you people
wait and see, man, it's Skynet.
So would AI trolls stillcount as free speech?
Angela (07:39):
That's a good question.
John (07:41):
The answer is an unequivocal hell no.
No way.
Angela (07:46):
Because an iRobot, they're not allowed to have.
Robots aren't allowed to have feelings.
John (07:54):
Yeah.
The three rules, and we knowhow well that worked out.
Angela (08:00):
That's true.
Listen to me live with
John (08:03):
the movies.
So how would you even prove thatyou're real in a fake internet?
Oh, you
Angela (08:09):
know, it's dragging the puzzle piece to fix the picture or identifying.
All of the pictureswith a bicycle in it, or
John (08:18):
just until
Angela (08:19):
we tell we're we're
John (08:20):
real or just clicking the little thing that says, I'm not a robot.
Yeah.
Like AI could never figure that one out.
Figure that out.
So if the bots are doing all of theposting, can they start paying for
the subscriptions to They should.
Damn right.
They should.
But I, I, in all honesty, before weleave this story, I, I mean, we've said
(08:41):
it before, all of this bullshit contentthat gets posted on Facebook and all
this crap, you can't believe anything.
No.
It, and I gotta wonder how much ofit is just all phony fake AI crap.
Angela (08:53):
It's so bad, so bad now.
They're not even tryingto do a good job recently.
John (09:01):
No, it's terrible.
Yeah.
It's like sending a picturethat's taken in downtown Tokyo and
saying, me driving through Wyoming.
Angela (09:10):
Yeah.
John (09:10):
And you're like, uh, yeah.
I mean this uhhuh, this is so dumb.
It's not even worth commenting on
Angela (09:16):
all of the octopus lives in Wyoming.
Lane isn't.
Yeah.
AI can make that happen.
John (09:21):
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
You ready for the Reddit rabbit hole?
Angela (09:27):
Is it AI or is it real?
John (09:29):
The is Reddit probably half ai.
It doesn't mean that the red rabbithole isn't entertaining though.
Angela (09:36):
Entertain me.
John (09:41):
The 2025 Dystopia Forecast.
A viral Reddit mega threadinvited users to predict what
everyday life would look like.
If 2025 became the first year ofcollapse, the results were equal, equal
parts terrifying and darkly hilarious.
Started in early Octoberon our future fears.
(10:05):
The thread asks, what will the averageday look like when things finally break?
Tens of tens of thousands of userschimed in constructing an eerily detailed
shared universe post described energy.
Rationing neighborhood barter systemsand wifi prayer circles for when the
(10:25):
power flickered back on one top comment.
Imagine TikTok influencers still filmingApocalypse Hall videos, surviving the
grid crash, but make it aesthetic.
Another described nationalized doorpass, DoorDash, where delivery drivers
operate on horseback, the scariest part.
(10:46):
A few predictions.
Eely match current headlines,food price spikes, drone
patrols, and corporate run towns.
The thread has.
Since become a living timeline of internetanxiety with new users returning daily
to add updates and forecast corrections,many say reading, it feels like
watching the future argue with itself.
(11:08):
My take, honestly, half those predictionssound like Wyoming on a windy day,
but hey, at least when the world ends,Reddit will still be there arguing
about whatever water filters or sarcasmare the better survival tour tool.
Angela (11:24):
Apocalypse hacks,
John (11:26):
apocalypse Hacks.
Yeah.
So if Reddit survived the apocalypse,would Karma points still matter?
Angela (11:36):
It's, it's just like the show, the games made up and the points don't matter.
John (11:41):
Exactly.
I mean.
Yeah, I, I seriously doubt, likeif, if it all went to hell, if it
was the apocalypse, I doubt theinternet would still be operating.
Just saying, yeah, but
Angela (11:55):
because you told me yesterday you have to scream loud enough
for me to hear you, to run, hide
John (11:59):
exactly what we were talking about.
If there's a EMP large enough towipe out the power grid, then how
would I let you know that it's.
It's time.
It's time die.
You can't find me minute,
but who's running thewifi prayer circle anyway.
And are there snacks?
Angela (12:19):
Probably my mom.
Probably my mom and, andsure, I'll make snacks.
Why not?
John (12:28):
So is it still looting if you're just liberating content
from an influencer's bunker?
No.
No, I, I don't think so either.
Angela (12:35):
Commandeering, remember a hundred
John (12:38):
percent the pirate days?
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
Alright,
Angela (12:42):
so
John (12:43):
we ready for the dip Shits diary
Angela (12:46):
always.
John (12:48):
It's kind of my favorite section, not waiting for
Angela (12:50):
the day.
I'm in there.
I'm just in there.
Yeah, you're
John (12:52):
not allowed to go in there.
Angela (12:54):
I'm just really waiting for the day where you're like, dip shit diaries.
We're talking about you
John (13:06):
dip shit.
Diary.
All right.
Dip shit.
Diary number one, cook.
Arrested for stealingrestaurants secret recipes.
A fired Missouri chef returnedto his old restaurant to steal
its handwritten dessert Recipes.
Then Bragg online abouthaving the real formula.
(13:30):
Police say.
The man recently terminated forinsubordination, snuck back into
the closed bistro one night, brokeinto the manager's office and
took the laminated recipe sheets.
He then posted a photoof his victory cookie.
On social media completewith the restaurant's logo
reflected in the mixing bowl.
(13:51):
Detectives tracked the image metadataand arrested him within 48 hours.
The restaurant released a statementsaying their quote, secret recipes.
We're actually copied from Pinterest.
Anyway, my take this man risked,gel for a dessert that probably
starts with box pudding mix.
Honestly, the only secretingredient here was stupidity.
Angela (14:15):
Some Italian grandmas pissed.
So
John (14:20):
I mean, what?
Come on.
Angela (14:23):
I know.
John (14:24):
So should recipe theft be punished or just roasted publicly?
Well.
Bull.
I mean, in all honesty, if a restauranthas a truly secret recipe and they do,
man, there's like, that's, they do.
Like if you steal the CheesecakeFactories, cheesecake recipe
(14:46):
or like the Olive GardensBreadstick recipe or whatever.
Like, I mean that is,that's a huge felony.
The value of that is wellinto felony territory.
Angela (15:01):
But there's a website out there, copycat.com.
Copycat recipes.com, or it's always,you can always find it on there.
John (15:10):
Oh, yeah.
And you can find, I mean, youknow, they do the same thing.
They like basically, youknow, reverse engineer it.
Yeah.
And to make it taste.
Pretty much exactly the same, you know?
And that's, and that's notthe, that's not a thing.
But to actually take and stealthe actual recipe is all I'm
saying is the value of that Yeah.
Is well into felony territory.
(15:33):
What's the dumbest crime worth calling?
Worth?
Calling 9 1 1 for recipe
Angela (15:39):
theft, recipe theft.
John (15:42):
I mean,
Angela (15:43):
I don't know.
John (15:45):
I don't, I think it's like the, the best one, and I know
I've mentioned this before, but.
And I've heard a couple of these, but thebest 9 1 1 calls are the ones that people
get stoned and they think they're dying.
Hi, and they call 9 1 1 becausethey're certain they're gonna die.
Those are the best ones.
Angela (16:04):
I'm floating out of the window right now.
John (16:08):
So would Gordon, he's day
Angela (16:10):
balloon.
John (16:12):
Would Gordon Ramsey call this criminally under baked?
Angela (16:16):
Gordon Ramsey would definitely have something to say about this
and I would love to hear it.
John (16:21):
Oh yeah, I'm sure he would.
I think that I've watched like a kitchennightmares where um Oh, I know I have.
And the dudes were like, we won'tshow recipes with our cooks.
And he's like.
What
Angela (16:34):
did I cookie?
I know.
John (16:36):
Yeah.
Angela (16:36):
I love Gordon Ramsey.
John (16:38):
Yeah, he's awesome.
And he's awesome.
And John Taffer thatdoes the Bar Rescue one.
He's, he's cool too.
I like it when they go in and yell at him.
Call him dumb.
And I mean, it's probably most trait in
Angela (16:49):
the end.
John (16:50):
They fix everything I know.
All right.
Dip shit.
Diary number two.
Inmate pretends to be Judge callsthe jail to free his friend.
A Louisiana man, imperson.
This is a bit of a, so bear Louisiana man.
Impersonated a local judge.
(17:10):
Over the phone to springhis buddy from jail.
The scheme On April 16th, Saint Romainecalled the jail while posing as a
local judge and arranged for the bondof inmate demon, Lynn Dai Sr. To be
changed to a released on recognizanceorder, which requires no cash bail.
(17:34):
Della Hue wa, who was being heldon an aggravated burglary charge
was subsequently released in June.
The fraud was not discovereduntil July 17th when Della
Hue appeared for a court date.
He was immediately rearrested andreturned to Cal Kasu Correctional Center.
(17:58):
Undeterred St. Romaine calledthe jail two more times in July.
Again, impersonating a judgein an unsuccessful attempt to
arrange for Della Hu's release.
These calls prompted detectivesto launch an investigation.
St. Romaine was arrested on September9th on an unrelated warrant.
He was then charged withfalse impersonation, assisting
(18:21):
escape, attempted simple escape.
And injuring public recordsfor his role in the scheme.
The Ka Casu Parish Sheriff's Officestated that while it is not unusual
for judges to call in bond reductionsover the phone, the situation
occurred due to a quote, honesterror and a quote, lack of training.
(18:44):
The department announced the new policieshave been implemented to ensure this
type of situation does not happen again.
My take.
If you're going to impersonatea judge, maybe Google how
to pronounce the name first.
It's like faking a doctor's noteand signing it, Dr. Mc medicine.
So, and I guess they missed puttingthat in there, but that's how they knew
(19:09):
in July when he called, 'cause he, helike mispronounced, um, recognizance.
Angela (19:16):
Oh,
John (19:16):
like he couldn't, he couldn't pronounce it correctly, and
that's when they were like, uh,we don't think you're a judge.
Because he is like, yeah, I, I wanthim released on his own recognition.
So,
oh my goodness.
I mean, the stunningpart to me, honestly, is.
(19:38):
When they say it's not unusual fora judge to call and what, yeah.
How is that not unusual?
How is that not impossible?
Yeah.
That you don't have legal that's going
Angela (19:50):
through a bunch of checks and balances.
Are
John (19:51):
you kidding me?
Yeah.
You don't have legal paperwork in hand?
Yeah.
Before you release somebody.
Angela (19:58):
Yeah.
Like.
John (19:59):
I mean, I cannot get a checking account without shit being notarized.
I mean, are you kidding me?
We can let people outtajail on a phone call
Angela (20:10):
bill, prove your address.
Yes.
And
John (20:13):
you let somebody outta jail on a phone call, like
Angela (20:16):
even renew your driver's license without all that.
John (20:19):
If this shit is real, why isn't somebody doing this all the time?
Angela (20:23):
I,
John (20:23):
I mean, this is the easiest way to escape jail ever.
Just call and say, oh,this is the judge Tony Mo.
Angela (20:30):
Just make sure you can pronounce all your words first.
John (20:34):
I mean, I, I was stunned when I read that.
Wow.
When the cop was like, well,it's not really that unusual.
I'm like, what?
How, how can this not be unusual?
How.
Angela (20:44):
I think that's something we need to change.
John (20:47):
So it really brings up my first question.
And how often does this actually work?
I don't.
Well, it worked once the dude got out.
I know, but how often do we not know about
Angela (20:57):
I?
I don't like that.
John (21:00):
Would you trust any judge who says.
Yeah, bro.
Just let him go.
Angela (21:04):
Yeah, bro.
Bro,
John (21:06):
bro.
Yeah, bro.
Let him go.
Angela (21:08):
Yeah.
Six, seven, let him go.
John (21:10):
Should Louisiana add common sense to sentencing guidelines
just or for on job applications?
I
Angela (21:18):
mean, come on.
And it was an inmate, sowas it not a recorded call?
John (21:24):
No, I mean, the judge called like the.
The office, you know, like the sheriff'soffice to speak to the sheriff.
He didn't call the inmate.
He called like the, he calledthe facility and was like, yeah,
I've decided to change my mind.
I just never heard of this shit before.
Oh,
Angela (21:43):
I know.
I, I don't like it.
Where is that?
John (21:46):
In Louisiana?
Louisiana.
I don't, I don't like it.
I, I, I got exactly,I got nothing on this.
I, if it happens ever, like if this isa common thing, we got some work to do
on our justice system because, well,
Angela (22:03):
we already did, but
John (22:05):
a lot more now dip shit.
Diary number three, Nana restedafter falling asleep in bathtub.
A man was arrested Friday night forallegedly trespassing after falling asleep
in a bathtub in someone else's house.
MPD said the 19-year-old suspectwandered into a woman's home and
(22:28):
bedroom while she was sleeping.
According to authorities, shewoke up and told the man to leave,

She called the police and they arrivedat her house in the 500 block of Mifflin
Street just before 10:00 PM officialssaid, police said that they found the
(22:50):
suspect asleep, and when they woke him.
He refused to leave.
He was then, he was eventuallyarrested and taken to jail
for allegedly trespassing.
Disorderly conduct,resisting and obstructing.
MPD officers said, officerssaid that his blood alcohol
(23:11):
concentration was found to be 0.29.
Might take, I guess, crime does payin self-care time somewhere there's a
mugshot of this guy in a towel lookinglike a criminally hydrated Pluto.
Angela (23:25):
Calgon take me away.
John (23:26):
So, uh,
Angela (23:29):
how good was this bathtub?
He's refusing to leave,
John (23:32):
right?
No, I'm not leaving the bathtub.
Of course, I have been that drunk before.
So in
Angela (23:39):
someone else's house
John (23:40):
actually, yeah.
Angela (23:41):
Oh, okay then yeah.
Are you sure this wasn't you?
John (23:44):
I was in the bed.
Angela (23:45):
Okay.
Yeah.
John (23:46):
Yeah.
Angela (23:47):
Alright.
John (23:47):
But should breaking and entering come with a spa
surcharge Should and Baal agreed.
So how does one explainthis to a cellmate?
So there I was
in a shootout with the police.
I dove into the bathtub.
(24:08):
In the bathtub.
So is this the cleanestarrest in Florida history?
Angela (24:14):
Probably.
John (24:15):
I think it probably is.
Probably
Angela (24:18):
scrubbing bubbles, man.
John (24:19):
Absolutely.
Alright, you ready forour weird shit section?
It gets weirder.
Weird shit.
Weird shit.
Number one, strange lightsreturn over Nevada Desert.
(24:41):
When did they leave pilotsnear Nellis Air Force?
Air Force Range once again reportedshifting orbs of light, the
defied radar and flight patterns.
For three consecutive nights,multiple pilots flying, commercial
and private routes over SouthernNevada reported glowing orbs.
That pulses shifted colors anddarted in erratic patterns.
(25:05):
Air traffic controllers confirmed.
No radar signatures, no militarydrills, and no storms in the area.
Videos shot by civilians show threeAmber lights forming a triangle
before fading to blue and vanishing.
Locals recall similar sightingsin the 1990s linked to black
(25:25):
project aircraft tests.
But this time, even retired militarypilots admitted they were baffled.
The Pentagon issued a boiler points,a boilerplate statement, denying
involvement, fueling speculationthat either the next generation
steal project just went public orextraterrestrials have impeccable timing.
(25:47):
MiTek.
Either aliens are back or Nevada justdiscovered, moonlighting for the sky
somewhere, a UFO's out there thinking,let's mess with the humans again.
Angela (25:57):
Yeah.
John (25:59):
So are these military tests or celestial?
Trolls?
Angela (26:04):
Trolls.
And they're just therefor the slot machines.
John (26:08):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, you know, reading this one and
comparing it to like the men, menlights, they're very, very similar.
Right?
And they're freaking in Australia,they've been going on for like
a hundred years or whatever.
We've been seeing weird shit in Nevada forat least in since like the forties, right?
Thirties and so.
I just honestly don't know whatthe hell to think about this.
(26:30):
I think some of this shit isprobably government doing shit
that we don't know nothing about.
Yeah, and then I think some ofit is legit, unidentified shit.
We don't know.
I ain't saying aliens, I'm sayingI don't know what the hell it is.
Angela (26:45):
Un that's what the U is, is unidentified.
John (26:47):
Right.
So if aliens land, dowe owe them back taxes?
No.
Oh, they owe that.
That's, I was gonna say they owe us.
Damnit.
Angela (26:58):
You don't just show up.
It's,
John (27:01):
you have to pay to live yours.
So should area 51 start selling tickets?
Yes.
I think they ought to freakinglet us know what the hell's in
there and put on all the rest.
Angela (27:11):
Do you know how many roads.
Would be fixed.
Schools would be funded if theywould sell tickets to Area 51.
John (27:22):
No shit.
Yeah.
Angela (27:24):
All the programs that could end world hunger.
Maybe I'm taking it a little too
John (27:30):
far,
Angela (27:30):
but
John (27:31):
you can make a lot of freaking money
Angela (27:33):
happening if they would sell tickets and whatever the hell
John (27:36):
they're hiding.
Yeah.
We deserve to know.
Yeah.
I don't give a shit what it is.
We deserve to know it.
Yeah, because they're not hiding some.
I.
Dates back to the forties orwhenever the shit that happened,
Angela (27:55):
right?
John (27:55):
You know,
Angela (27:56):
I will say, you go first and report back to me and make sure that my
anxiety can handle it, and then I'll go,
John (28:02):
fair enough?
Okay.
Fair enough.
Weird shit.
Number two, the Appalachian TrailGhost Soldiers were cited again.
Hikers in Maryland Civil War sectionreported seeing blue uniformed apparitions
marching silently through the fog.
Along the stretch near South Mountainhikers described ghostly formations
(28:24):
of men in union uniforms carryingfaded muskets, marching at dusk.
Through Rolling Mist.
Witnesses claim to hear faint drumbeatsand smell gunpowder with no source.
Paranormal investigators capturedwhispered EVPs saying still
marching and can't find homeHistorians note that the areas.
(28:45):
Saw brutal skirmishes in 1862 and dozensof unmarked burial sites remain nearby.
Rangers confirmed multiple, multiplereports over the years, often clustered
around the anniversary of the battle.
While skeptics attribute the phenomenonto fog, fatigue, or imagination,
(29:06):
even seasoned hikers, admit, theair feels heavier there as if
the war itself never quite ended.
My take.
I'd love to see the ParkService deal with this quote.
Please stay on the Trail,respect Wildlife and ignore the
19th century infantry in the
Angela (29:24):
don't touch.
John (29:28):
First of all, your thoughts on this one.
I hope it's true.
I mean, I gotta tell you, I,I got a thing about visiting,
like battlefields and stuff.
Mm-hmm.
I've gone to several, you know, nativebattlefields, the Battle of Little
Bighorn, the Battle of the Big Hole.
I've been to several of 'em.
I've been to Gettysburg, I've been, and.
(29:50):
Some of 'em, I've
Angela (29:51):
been everywhere
John (29:56):
and not all of them share this, but some of them, and
one of them was Gettysburg.
It does feel.
Different there.
Mm-hmm.
The air feels different.
I don't know.
It's hard to explain.
Yeah.
I've heard that a lot ofpeople, I haven't been, but I've
heard it from a lot of people.
It is, and I don't, I never couldquite say, okay, this is a mental
(30:19):
thing where I'm just overwhelmedthinking like, every person that died
here was an American and it's just,
Angela (30:26):
yeah.
John (30:26):
Overwhelming or.
But you know, I mean, with the waythat I believe with like the native
battles and stuff, I can say thesame thing about the battle of the
little Bighorn and shit like that.
You know
Angela (30:37):
about to say, Custer, you've been, I'm, I'm sure you've been, that's the,
John (30:42):
that's a little bighorn.
Yeah.
I
Angela (30:45):
felt weird there.
John (30:46):
You felt it there?
Yeah.
See, I never have felt it there.
Angela (30:50):
Not weird, bad, but like
John (30:53):
heavy,
Angela (30:54):
an overwhelming like emotional.
Response, which I've heardpeople have felt at Alcatraz
and people have felt Yeah.
At all, you know, mes casualty areas.
John (31:09):
And I can, for me, I don't fill 'em every, I don't feel it everywhere.
Like I've, I've not felt it at the battle.
A little bit horn.
Yeah.
I mean, it's very valid that you had it.
Bad
Angela (31:19):
feeling.
It was just emotional,like, this is heavy, this is
John (31:24):
right.
And kind of what I'mexplaining is different.
Okay.
It's heavy, it's dark.
It's like, okay, that wasn't dark.
Yeah.
I mean, I, I don't think I wouldgo back to Gettysburg because.
I just didn't like how I felt.
Mm-hmm.
And I've, I've done like tons ofprison tours and most of 'em where
(31:45):
I like really dig 'em and stuff.
But there's been a few moundsvilleprison in Moundsville, West
Virginia was one of 'em.
Mm-hmm.
Where I don't think I go back there.
It's just this dark ABBfeeling that's like.
Uhuh, something's not right here.
Like something is off.
Good, bad, indifferent.
I don't know.
I just know I don't like how I feel here.
(32:08):
Right.
So, I don't know.
It's weird, but
Angela (32:10):
kind of wanna go there now, but, um,
John (32:12):
Moundsville.
Angela (32:13):
Yeah,
John (32:13):
it's a creep.
What your favorite dude?
He did a, a thing there.
Oh yeah.
And I mean, it's afreaking creepy ass place.
It's one of the creepiestprisons I've ever toured.
So, but do ghosts get vacation days?
Angela (32:27):
No, sadly
John (32:28):
I don't think so either.
So would a Civil War spirit behorrified by modern camping gear?
Yes.
You probably are intrigued one of the two
Angela (32:38):
or a little pissed, like, we didn't get it right.
How dare they.
John (32:43):
So if
Angela (32:43):
you reason and such, you just pop the thing and it heats up.
Yeah,
John (32:47):
exactly.
If you salute a ghostsoldier, does he salute back?
I hope so.
Well, they should.
Angela (32:53):
I mean.
You, it's respect, right?
Absolutely.
So come on.
Dammit, damnit, have to put you find a
John (33:02):
point on it.
Dammit.
Alright.
Weird shit.
Number three.
Yes, Bigfoot.
Evidence from Oregon gets DNA, tested.
Angela (33:11):
Don't tell me it's wrong.
John (33:12):
Hair found near an old logging camp, near an old logging camp.
Tested as quote unknown primate, DNA.
Reigniting Bigfoot Fever collectedby hikers near Mount Hood in 2023.
The reddish brown hair clumps weresent to an independent genetics
lab, which returned the vague buttantalizing result of un identified
(33:36):
primate species researchers ruledout bear elk or human contamination.
The US Forest Service quietly reopenedan archive case from 1978 describing
similar evidence collected by aranger who vanished soon thereafter.
Encrypted enthusiasts floodedthe area, setting up trail cams
(33:58):
and plaster casting tracks.
Skeptics argue the sample was mishandledor misread, but the timing near an uptick
in local reports has reignited the legend,whether it's a hoax or un, an undiscovered
ape, or just a really hairy hiker.
Oregon once again findsitself the unofficial capital
(34:20):
of monster anthropology.
My take.
Unknown pri.
Unknown primate.
DNA, huh?
Either we found Bigfoot or theOregon Zoo lost another intern.
So first of all, thoughts,
Angela (34:37):
I am happy.
Yeah.
Yep.
So Bigfoot's out there, man,
John (34:42):
you, you really think so.
You think I do.
You don't think somebody like tooksome monkey hair or something?
And of
Angela (34:47):
course they, well, I don't know about this, but I really do
believe that bigfoot's out there.
John (34:52):
Yeah, I would've to research this a little bit more.
Is it, I mean, no, it said, I don't know.
That's, that's pretty freaking convincing.
An unidentified primate species.
So nobody got no like orangutanhair, no shit like that.
'cause it would've comeback as an orangutan.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So, I dunno, man, I dunnothis, maybe there's some to it.
(35:16):
I dig it.
So how long before Disney Plus makesA makes this a three part special?
Angela (35:24):
It's probably already out.
John (35:25):
It probably definitely in the works.
So if it's Bigfoot, does hequalify for endangered status?
Angela (35:34):
He should.
He should.
I guess we don't know how many there are.
John (35:40):
Well, according to.
According to Shadow Chat sessions,there's a shit ton of them.
Yeah.
They're all over the freaking place.
So
Angela (35:50):
they're, and according to John, there has to be at least two.
John (35:54):
There has to be at least two.
There has to be at least two in Oregon.
Angela (36:01):
He's, maybe he's just visiting.
I, who knows?
They go on vacation too, man.
John (36:06):
Yeah, I'm sure they have their own planes, which we can't see too.
Angela (36:09):
Those, those lights in Nevada.
I have figured it all out.
John (36:12):
You have figured it all out
Angela (36:14):
on mic drop.
I'm done.
John (36:16):
So should the Forest Service issue him a driver's license
Angela (36:19):
by now?
Probably.
I. But I, I think he has to take the testlike the rest of us, and I want three
forms of proof of residence notarized.
John (36:30):
Well, he is in Oregon.
They don't count any of that shit.
You just show up and get afreaking driver's license.
Have you not been watching the news?
All these illegals that are freakingcrashing trucks all over the place.
Angela (36:40):
Oh,
John (36:42):
I'm sure Bigfoot can get a driver's license in California.
Probably everybody else can.
All right.
Weird shit.
Number four, the Roman Cursetablet unearthed in Bath, England.
Archeologists decoded a 1700year old curse inscribed on
(37:03):
lead, targeting the thief of somebath towels during excavations.
Near the ancient Roman baths of AquaSolis, researchers discovered a rolled
lead tablet inscribed in Latin onceunrolled it revealed a handwritten plea
to the Goddess Solace Minerva quote.
(37:24):
May the thief who stole mytowels lose his mind in sight
until the items are returned.
Experts say such Dfi Ds.
Or curse tablets were commonpersonal revenge tools.
In Roman culture, citizens would writegrievances on metal, fold the sheet,
(37:48):
and toss it into sacred springs, hopingthe deity would handle customer service.
The discovery offers a glimpseinto daily Roman life and human
pettiness across the millennials.
Apparently people have been losingtheir minds over missing towels
since before plumbing my take.
Some guy's eternal soul isroasting over stolen towels.
(38:13):
The Romans invented Yelp reviews,just meaner and incursive.
Angela (38:18):
What was the thread count
John (38:20):
of the towels?
Yeah.
Who knows?
Probably like 12.
It was the Romans.
I
Angela (38:24):
know.
I have, uh, new plans for the weekend.
I shall be acquiring a bunch of metal.
I have a list Right.
Suit
John (38:34):
and throwing them out to in the water list.
Yeah, there you go.
Angela (38:37):
I'm just gonna go throw 'em in the springs at Thermopolis
and we'll just see what happens.
Right on.
John (38:44):
So what's the Pettiest thing worth cursing over?
Angela (38:47):
I'm pretty sure it's towels.
John (38:49):
You think so?
Angela (38:49):
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
You felt like you had a. A thing there?
John (38:55):
No, you, you're the one with the list.
Oh.
So I'm just wondering.
Angela (38:58):
No, my list is not pandemic.
John (39:01):
No.
Angela (39:02):
No.
John (39:04):
So would modern curses be written on Yelp?
Angela (39:07):
Yeah.
But then where do you throw 'em?
John (39:10):
I don't know.
The AI world, I guess AI does it.
And is there a god of lost baths?
Apparently, yeah.
What was the name?
Uh, the name was Goddess Solis Minerva.
Angela (39:27):
Solis Minerva.
The god of lo goddess of lost BALs.
John (39:31):
Yeah, apparently.
All right.
All right.
Well, weird shit.
Number five, sky quakes heardacross the eastern United States.
Residents from Maine to Maryland reporteddeafening booms with no visible cause.
Starting early Tuesday morning, thousandsof residents across New England and the
(39:52):
Mid-Atlantic called emergency services.
After hearing thunderous explosionsthat rattled windows and set off
alarms, seismographs showed no quakeactivity and meteorologists ruled
out thunder meteors or sonic booms.
Witnesses describe the sound as a quote.
A cannon fired from the clouds.
(40:14):
The National Weather Service suggestedatmospheric pressure shifts might cause
sound waves to travel unusually far,but offered no definitive explanation.
Theories range from secret militaryflights to collapsing air pockets, or if
you ask Reddit, interdimensional rifts.
Whatever it was, people agreed onone thing, it was loud enough to make
(40:38):
the entire East coast collectivelylook up and say, well, that's
concerning my take every year.
It's the same.
Someone breaks the sky again.
Maybe it's just aliensdrag racing above Delaware.
Angela (40:53):
Yeah.
John (40:55):
So what's louder sky quicks or your neighbor's leaf blower.
Angela (41:01):
I'm gonna go with Sky Quakes for 200, Alex.
John (41:05):
I
Angela (41:05):
mean,
John (41:06):
it sounds like a sonic boom.
Angela (41:09):
Yeah, and those,
John (41:10):
but I can't explain how it could be heard over that far of a
distance because I, I mean, I've heard'em before, but never states away.
Angela (41:21):
I gotta say, I kind of miss them.
John (41:23):
Yeah,
Angela (41:24):
I do.
Like I heard 'em a lot inchildhood and I kind of miss 'em.
John (41:28):
Yeah, you don't hear 'em as much anymore.
Angela (41:30):
It's illegal now, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
John (41:34):
But I don't know, man.
I got nothing on this.
I have no freaking cluewhat the hell it is.
No, shouldn't NASA start a,whoops, my atmosphere's hotline.
Angela (41:44):
NASA should turn the base down, apparently.
John (41:46):
Apparently.
Angela (41:47):
Yeah.
John (41:48):
I mean, there's a lot of this weird shit that.
I honestly think we need answers too.
Mm-hmm.
Like, I know I make fun of this stuff, butat the end of the day, like what is it?
We should know what theanswer is to this shit.
And if the government's involved,they need to suck it up and tell us.
And if they're not, that's even morefreaking concerning and we need to
(42:09):
know what's causing a lot of this shit.
Yeah.
The freaking TAUs hum.
The freaking weird shit inWashington that we talked about.
The sonic booms in the sky,the all the weird shit.
We need to know about it.
Angela (42:25):
John wants answers.
John (42:26):
Damn straight.
I do.
So if the sky explodes, but you filmit vertically, does it still count?
Angela (42:34):
Spoof a tree falls in a forest, right?
Right.
Who's counting.
John (42:44):
Indeed who is counting, but I do know one thing that is all
that I put together for us tonight.
So what do you have toadd to tonight's episode?
Angela (42:57):
I did not bring anything to the table.
No, no I didn't.
Oh, you
John (43:02):
