This week on Strange Talk, Alyx, Vayne, and Ginelle blast off into another round of Weird News from around this spinning blue marble (and slightly above it).
We’re starting in orbit, talking radiation sickness risks for future space missions and what that means for anyone bold enough to try living off-Earth. Then, we come crashing back down to the ocean where someone thought tossing a pile of old tires into the water was a good idea (spoiler: it was extremely not) to build an artificial reef.
From there, we dive further into the underwater octopus neighborhood scientists are calling Octlantis. We also take a look at which U.S. cities are safest and least safe for trick-or-treating (Halloween logistics matter, okay?), discuss witchcraft happening near a governor’s home in Mexico, and wrap things up with our Hexmas costume plans. This year? We’re going full Dickens ghosts: Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Interpretations may vary...dramatically, and Vayne's may or may not involve a zipline.
Come hang out with us for the strange, the spooky, and the “wait, that’s real?” moments that make reality more fun than fiction.
Tune in Thursday 9–10pm ET
Only on Radio Artifact
Music for this episode includes the Strange Talk Intro by Star Silk, Infernal Sky by Karl Casey, and backing tracks by LoFiGeek

No space.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
In good evening and welcome to the hour dedicated to
(01:28):
talking about all things strange, weird, and paranormal. You're listening
to Strange Doock, broadcast on sixteen sixty AM in north
Side ninety one point seven FM h T two w
VX you in Cincinnati, WHILESOY stream at Radio artifact dot
com around the entire planet Earth. The introtact to this episode,
of most of our episodes, is the Strange Shock intro
by sor Soo. I'm your host, Alex, and I think
(01:49):
we have been in Janelle again.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, hello, Hello.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I can't believe I messed up the intro. It's been
a while. Apparently it's been too long. Goodness, that's what
happens it. I don't think I've actually talked about this
on the show. Doing the intro, I'm hitting a lot
of buttons at once. So the problem there was I
was like, wait, what are we talk about? Like the
funny parties? The words that I forgot was strange talk.
(02:20):
I was like, I'm hitting too many buttons and they're
so pretty, and I put new music on this and wait,
what am I talking about?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Goodness, it happened there, It happened.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, we are talking a little bit more weird news.
But uh, before we get into all that, did you
want to talk about season five a little bit? I
realized our past episodes, we haven't even really talked about
season five yet.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, I'm sure we can.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, yes, is there anything fun and exciting you all
want to talk about in season five? We'll see what
we can make happen.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I think with season five it would be really fun
to do some interviews with people that run like little
small museums.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Potentially Ye has been on my list.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yes, so for those of you who may or may
not know, I don't know if we mentioned it before.
We were at Scare sets running a boot and I
would love to do the Nightmare Museum about in Summerset, Kentucky.
I think that would be a very fun one. But
like little things like that, Yeah, I like those little
like road side kind of in the hole in the wall,
(03:41):
appointment only kind of places. So I think it'd be
fun to do a little more of those.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, behind the scenes, we've been talking about wanting to
go to a lot of those places. But because I
do love, you know, talking to all of our different
guests and stuff. But it's usually online, and it's it's
just fun to get to talk to them in person
and either fun and spooky museums for sure, for sure. Man,
(04:05):
how about you, is there anything specific you'd like to
see this season.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I'm here for the running, honestly, I'm just I'm just
excited to talk about spooky things.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, you're in it for the space tornadoes. We know.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I'm in it for the.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I hope we get some of those. For you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Let's go to space.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I mean it it'll be a fun time, you know.
I mean the space tornadoes too, but I mean just
the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Agree, there's space is always spooky.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Actually, I don't know if I've asked you about this question.
I feel like everyone has a preference between space and
like deep ocean, Like which one if you had to
go to one of the two, which one would you
two go to?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I mean, I already said I want to be a
storm chaser in space.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You can't for sure, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I mean you can.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Storm chase in the ocean. There are ocean storms, but
it's not the same, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, uh, Janelle, how about true? For me?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think it would definitely be uh the sea, you know,
well for some of you my if you're on the discord,
my user name is kazoo Wu. So I feel like
the deep sea.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I had a feeling those are going to be your answers.
So if I have the choice, I would rather go
to space. But I'm still totally open to go to
the ocean. So I'm I'm somewhere between, but I really
want to go to space partially. Oh, I'm not at all.
(05:51):
I will say I'm.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
For the marianas French let's go.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I would love to do that. But the idea of
all that water scary. Yeah. Yeah, just when I think
of how much pressure would be on you from the ocean,
it's it's terrifying to me. I'd still I'd still do
it as long as it was safe. That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yeah, I don't. It's one the super I would definitely
have to be a point in time where, uh, I
don't know where We're not gonna the pressure wouldn't be
as much of a big deal. Almost like a casual stroll.
I don't know if we ever get there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
A casual stroll through.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Like a lesion.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
They walk like you're going to a park through the
depths of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know, I could do like you do? Like you too, Well,
shall we pardon the pun, dive into our weird news articles.
I was already gonna say it, and then I realized
it was a pun, So I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
The funny thing is that works for both and the ocean.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, exactly, uh huh yeah. I was already gonna say it.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
It.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Literally as soon as I opened my mouth, I went, oh,
that's a pun, Alex, Why what have you done?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Maybe four more puns this season?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Maybe, I'm I mean, maybe we need to hear from
the people because I'm never sure do you want more
or less puns? Because like, we can make it happen.
I try to reel it back though, but if that's
what the people want, we will give you puns. I
can also bring back my very very terrible segues because
I used to do some really bad ones, like things
(07:38):
that were not related at all. It was great.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
You're like, well, this is it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Which one of you would like to pick our first
weird news article. We have so many to pick from.
There's been a lot going on in the world.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
There has been.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I mean, I don't know. I'm looking through these I do.
I do like seeing this this Alaskan triangle thing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh yeah, we talked about that one a while back.
All the ones, yeah, all.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
The ones February.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I'm sorry, I'm scrolling.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I put a little I put a little thing in
there to tell you which one was weird news from
October November. So that way, uh, it was a little easier, vain.
I'm going to repost this one at the bottom. I
feel like this one's up your alley if you want
this one.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I did see that, but face because you know, once
again space.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I figured you'd want it because it's all about space.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I mean, you know, none of this is really so.
The thing about this one is, I know it's supposed
to be strange, but I already knew this.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, yeah, it's more of a warning.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah. The article is about how being in space messes
with your body. It can cause cause issues of your
spine all that like. And the thing is is that
I've already I already knew this because uh, you know,
space is a big interest of mine, is it it is?
(09:20):
I don't want to be an I don't want to
I do want to be a space chaser, but I
don't want to be an astronautic.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Listen, there's a big difference between a storm taser and
a meteorologist. Okay, it's totally valid.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Math.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know, I don't want to know math. I already
know too much math as it is amazing. But yeah,
so that's what this article is about. It it's about
the radiation that you have to deal with. Did you
know that? Actually? Well, okay, so this is where the
weird news stop. Is me talking about?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
No more weird news. We're done.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
No, we're not on a spacecram. Now. There's actually a
NASA standard for how much radiation you're allowed to take,
so you can go on space chiens. But like, if
you go on too many, they're like, you're done.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Man, Yeah, you can't do anything. You have to pick
the good ones because after a certain amount of time,
you can't do more.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yeah, you got to really hope that you get a
good space mission otherwise. Can you imagine you hit the
cap and you're like, oh, I didn't even get to
see anything.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Cool man, They sent me to so many boring moons.
They didn't even send us to our moon. Yeah, no,
not even that.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I didn't even get see one of Jupiter's moons, and
there's over eighty.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh my gosh, okay, I feel like they're gonna send
you to one of Jupiter's moons. They might as well
send you to all of Jupiter's moons, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
All eighty.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yes, listen, hey, if you had to start on one
of Jupiter's moons, which one would you pick?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
There's okay, I don't know if I said, but there's
like eighty of them. I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm looking up a list. I'm looking up a list.
I'm picking a favorite right now, off of pure vibes.
Hold on, give me a second.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I am too, and then I want to look more
into it. Okay, let me see what I got here.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, this is subject to change, but off of pure
like first time vibes. I'll give me one second here.
Oh oh oh okay, I have a top contender right now.
Oh there's so many.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Some of these just looks like rocks.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That's because that's that's what that's what I.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Regret to inform you that.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
They look more like a rocky rock.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They don't look there's one just straight up named Kale.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
To be fair, our moon is in like our back door,
Jupiter's moon is like I don't know, like three h
O ways over, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
All right, I think I think I got one. I
think I'm going with Callisto. I feel like that's a
very solid moon.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Okay, I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'm looking, no pressure, there's only eighty of them, I know.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I'm like, it's not an evaperation, you know what. I'm
choosing S. Two thousand and three J nine.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Why I knew you were gonna go with that one.
I was like, I don't know why. I was like,
you're gonna go with that one. She's gonna take one
of these ones.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Why because it doesn't have a name. It's a string
of numbers. And if you tell me that it's my favorite,
later I won't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Oh, I'm going to hold you to that.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, I got mine because it looks like rchie. I
think that might be house pronounced it a R c ad.
That's the name of my kerdel. Oh, I'm picking this one, Vain.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Which one was the one you said? Genuinely I wanted
to find it in the.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It was S.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
S two thousand and three.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
J oh, there's a J ten as well. Okay, that's
why I was I couldn't find it?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
All right, all right, my my, the picture of mine
is literally just a grainy photo with an arrow pointing
to a dot.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, that's pretty much a minus. You're talking about S.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Two thousand and three J nine.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Right, yeah, yeah, okay two thousand and three J.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Nine Ignore me just quickly. Updating your bio on the website.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Identifies as S. Two thousand and nine J No.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No, I'm really actually yeah, I'm gonna add all of
our favorite moons on there. Why not? Who let me
have control over this?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Putting him? Please ask Vane about their favorite moon.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
On This is what you're going to be known for.
I hope you're ready.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
They're very passionate about that particular mood.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Hold on, I gotta scroll down, get to the page
about here we go Okane. Where are you?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
There?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
You are.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Favorite?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Apparently the orbital period of this particular moon is seven
and sixty eight days.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's a lot of days. That's that's many many a day.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Many days.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Mine is seven hundred seven twenty three point nine days.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Two years is faster than mine.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
That's not mine's just a little bit faster.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But I don't you think I'm smaller, speedier moon.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Out dot.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
My moon was discovered on the Halloween in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
How do you? How do you spell your moon? And
I'm trying to find yours on this list?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
It sound hurts the bottom and it's a R G H.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
R H. Where. Oh yep, there it is. There, it
goes there, it goes there, it is goodbye there went
Oh my gosh, well, oh there. The web website has
been updated with our favorite moons. I hope I didn't
accidentally destroy everything else on the website by doing that.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
My moon is only three kilometers. It's about two miles long,
not two miles in diameter.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I chose a big one. Calisto is the third largest
moon in the Solar System, apparently, and it is nearly
as large as the planet Mercury. Mine was not mine
was discovered on January seventh, sixteen ten.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Thanks, you know about space.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Have a Okay, you're giving me a lot of credit here.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You have proven yourself as the resident expert here amongst
us three. I never said it was because of academic merits,
but so I took astronomy in college and at the time,
(16:34):
they were always like, we don't know if Venus is
even like really a planet. I don't think I remember
hearing about this. So they were like, we don't know
Venus is actually solid, but it's because it's a gas
because of all the gases. Every time they send something
into it, it just melts. Do we know if Venus
(16:56):
solid or not? Or is it still potentially just a
ball of like acid gas Venus Venus wants to the Sun.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I mean it's probably going to be more just a
core and a lot of gas. I mean, I don't
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I didn't know. I didn't know if there was a
breakthrough between the time I was in college and alward,
they're like, oh, no, Venus does have like ground.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
According according to Wikipedia, it's considered a rocky planet and
it's a twin. I don't know why I said that
with like an attitude that's just from Wikipedia.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Well, I mean it is a lot of like yeah,
there's just a lot of acid and stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I just don't think we've been able to like fully
like get down there, like.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Venus is just built different and because of that, our technology,
thinking of his gashes, I was about to make it
Urinus joke. And then I realized that I don't think
Ranus is that sort of planet, is it?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Ham, Gay, I don't, I don't think so, Hm, I
don't think so it's planet.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I'm suddenly realizing I know a lot less about planets
than I thought.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Dattered And oh and Jupiter. See we went by to
It's because I was still thinking about Jupiter. That's why.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh, quick thing about Jupiter. Yeah, easy, quick thing about Jupiter.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Jupiter, for sure, not right now the planets I was thinking.
I was, you know, I also don't really care about
Venus though. To be fair, Venus and Mercury are the
most boring planets to me.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So I don't know what's the most interesting planet to you?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Oh? I mean probably saturned. It's got a lot of rings.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
If you like it, then you should have put some
rings on it.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, lots of rings. Very interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Fine, Okay, do you know what's your favorite planet?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I didn't know. This is kind of I didn't know
we were talking to have me talk about space.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yes, sorry, said that they're not the expert, so that
means you're what we got. Oh god, no, I just
that's your favorite.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I thought that Venus is gasehous. There for a second,
I immediately prove that I am not an expert.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
It's immediately hey, we're all learning here, are we? Yes?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
All right? Not what's your favorite planet? Okay? I mean
I would say.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
It's probably Urinus. Yeah, it's so blue. I'm a very
visual person.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah that's fair.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
You know. I feel like it's a very very striking
color and that that always just like catches my eyes
if I'm looking at a planetary and I'm always like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, sorry, I feel like I'm gonna go with Neptune.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Still part of this.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, Pluto, hands down, Yeah, supremacy.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
We're going to be with the current times is not a.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Plan Well, hold on, let me check Wikipedia. Let's see
if it's been reinstated. They don't know. Give me this.
It's a dwarf planet, a dwarf planets, a planet.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
It's not as it's not a planet, the dwarf.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Plan it's a planet.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Sorry, Pluto, you're a real one anyway. All right, weird news,
who wants to who wants to grab a weird news article?
We've gotten very distracted.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I already took my turn.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I already you know. Would you like to go next?
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I would so.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Sticking with my theme about the tea, this is from
a while back, because some people may know about it
or not. But have you guys heard about the octopus
city that was found in Australia.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
No, I did not hear about it.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
But what did you say, the octopus city?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, the octopus city.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
It was found off the.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Coast of Australia.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
You know that sounds like something Australia would have. No,
I have.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I mean honestly, right, like when you find out where
it is, right, So what ended up happening was I'm
assuming the courts researchers are out there and they found
in the waters of the Jervist Day. So it's kind
of on the eastern coast of Australia that about like
fifteen of octopuses, they're called gloomy octopuses have been sort
(21:54):
of like living in this like coral formation together and
they almost look like little apartments, like each one kind
of like has their own little like sort of nook
and cranny for their like little dents, and sometimes they
(22:14):
would like evict each other from the dns, which is
kind of funny to me. But I don't know. It's
also being called autlantis I name, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Okay, you of all people are like, let me talk
you about the Octobus city and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
All right, zu, yeah, I got this. You know, it's
my summer home.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
And uh.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I think it's also because some of the dents, like
they will actually like grape themselves, like they'll make themselves
using shells from their leftover prey. So it isn't just
like they're they're finding a space and going to they
are they're almost actively making this hm hm. They have
seen some like in the past similar to them, however
(23:06):
they never last as long. And it seems to also
be this species of octopus, this gloomy octopuses that tend
to be the ones that like to live in these
colonies because most occupy like to be fairly secluded. Yeah,
they don't really live in colonies. So yeah, I just
thought that was interesting. Yeah. They're also finding out that
(23:31):
the gloomy occupy also have different personalities, so that's been
leading into some interesting research there. So yeah, they're they're
kind of right now, I think looking ato like why
they want to group together and you know, things like that.
But some people think it's just a defense thing by
(23:51):
like how fish swim in school. But you know, it
could just be like a regional thing too, where it's
like others enough food but not enough shell her for
all of us, so we're just kind of have to
like get along. So yeah, they're just gonna keep looking
into these little settlements of these little guys and you know, figure.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Out they're just a little good, cool guys. They're just
hanging out. They're they're they're evicting each other so they
can live in some coral you know what.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It's like a little weird news. Thank you, guys. There's
a very cute picture. At least I think he's cute,
like little like what the little octopus looks like and
things like that. So yeah, well I'm a stile bit
of an older article, but that keeps really cool.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, I like Actlantis is really good. Anytime I think
I've got a good name for something, somebody will give
me a better name, and I'm like, oh, you're right.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's so cool. Good job, guys, that's that's fun.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Uh, can you enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I know that Halloween has passed, but I have an
article here that is about the ten most dangerous states
for trigger treaters and the ten most safest states for
trigger treats. Obviously, this is subject to change before twenty
twenty six, but this is from Mental Floss, written by
Paul Anthony Jones. Basically, they put together a whole bunch
(25:26):
of data about which states have the most pedestrian fatalities
overall per one hundred thousand population and pedestrian injuries per
one hundred thousand children. So, going with that data, the
ten most dangerous places to trigger treat just because of
cars are New Mexico, South Carolina, Wyoming, Arizona, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, Arkansas,
(25:55):
and Mississippi. And the numbers are pretty close on most
of those, except for New Mexico for some reason is
like double everybody else. I'm not really sure what that
is about.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
So they don't elaborate.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Does not elaborate them? Why? Yeah? And I will give
you all the least dangerous ones to also again from
the same data. Uh, the least dangerous ones on here
are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Connecticut, Vermont,
New York, and Utah. Huh So that's interesting.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I'm not going to say what I was gonna say offensive.
We're not going to say are you anyway?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Are you dunking on New Jersey?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
No, I was gonna dump on Utah actually, but it's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Oh my gosh, Well I will. I will also give
us a real article, since that one was a kind
of a quick one. We were kind of talking about
dystopian stuff last time, so this one we're talking a
lot about AI. This one's from Interesting Engineering. This is
written by Cave Shike. Oh oh. I should have looked
(27:17):
that up before I said that. I will look up
how to say his name. But the title is data
centers turned to old jet engines to power AIS soaring
energy demands. So basically, to combat the issues with AI
using so much power, they are looking to power them
with old jet engines that they can't use to fly
(27:38):
planes anymore, which would be a good way to recycle them,
I suppose. But yeah, I just I thought that that
was interesting because otherwise we are going to have power issues.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
We're already venturing in that territory.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yes, rather, we're going to run into worst issues.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Yeah, recycling away. If people aren't going to stop using AI,
I think we should at least be able to mitigate
the environment around it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Like, you know, by the way, if the Internet is correct,
his name should be pronounced Kaife Shike. I had to
look that up normally, I looked that up first. I
forgot to on that one. Yeah, I don't know. I'm
glad that they're looking for different ways to deal with
that problem sooner rather than later, you know.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, it's it's a problem we're increasingly heading towards dystopian times,
or or in them already. I'm not really sure which
at this point.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
We're like a frog that's been boiled in water.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
It's already we're there.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, we're cooking mmmmm, frog soup. Anybody I'm saying that
it's the vegetarian here.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
I know.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I was like, wait a minute, I.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Have never eaten frog, and I would like to not
try it. I don't think i'd like it.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Just I worked at Papado for a while, so I
have eating frog.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
And it's oh.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
It's you know, it's it's frogs. I honestly don't see
the point when there's not a lot to it, you know,
I just feel like it's a waste of a frog.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
But I just like frog.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's a waste of a frog. Can I quote you on?
It's a waste of a frog.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
There's waste.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
There are a lot of pendon. So it's like even
if you.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Like, it's not a lot to do it.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Like if you eat one of those one type of
frogs that are like five thousand pounds or what you.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Like, the really there's a five thousand pound frog. I'm sorry,
wee back up.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
No, there's not.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
There's not five thousand frogs. That would be crazy.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
That would be crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
The wire frog is the largest frog and it's it's
only seven pounds. I'm just being dramatic. Yeah, it's just
I don't know. Frog's a lot of tendons, and it's
just I don't see the point. I mean, I guess
if you're really hungry, but like recreationally.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Recreational frog eating, if.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
You yeah, I can feel it. I can see what
you're saying. If you're like, if you're just like I
just want to eat something, you might not go to frog.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Yeah, like you know, there's other game to get. I'm sorry,
weird news and now I'm no, I'm rambling about hunting like,
I don't know. I just feel like there's easier prey.
There's alligators right there. If you really need.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Something to eat, Oh well, let me just go hunt
an alligator real quick.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
You know, frog is robab like you know a lot
of people that eat frog or you know it's a
primarily Southern considered dish, But like, alligators are quite next
to the frogs, you know what I mean. Like like,
if I'm starving and I see a frog and an
alligator and I have a spear, which one am I
going to go for?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I don't know if I would be hunting a frog
with a spear, but probably the alligator.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You're not a coachable Okay, Okay, so I only have
spear and my option is tiny frog and the alligator.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Right right, and at least then I hit it.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
So yeah, I don't how did we get to I'm
so sorry? How did we get to the frog?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
You know how it's made a comment about frogs somehow.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I haven't the slightest idea how we got here. And
I was like, at several points I was like I
should probably stop this, but I was like, no, no,
I want to know where this frog is going.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
I eat genuinely have frogs and alligators being.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I have how how do we get to frogs at all?
What is.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
That? We're boiling frog? Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, yeah that's what it was.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Then you made a comment about being a vegetarian, and
then yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
There we go, there we go frog.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
I had to be like, I have ate a frog?
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah, I had to have.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
And of all the things I could have guessed about you,
I would be like, yeah, if out of all of us,
Van's probably eating a frog.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
I used to hunt. I've ate a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
You know.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
That's fair?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, okay, Steerness steern us back to the weird news.
I do have an article. It Google has translated it
for me from Spanish because I like to get articles
from their point of origin. It's from Reporte Indigo. The
(33:16):
title of it is what do you do in these cases? Uh?
Jamie Rodriguez el Bronco shares video of strange lights on
his ranch. So it is a video of some weird
some weird lights.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Are we back to aliens now?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Although when I scrawled down a little bit, it says
the former governor of Nuevo Leon uploaded a video to
his Facebook account showing several bright orange jobjecks near his ranch.
So now I'm like, wait, oh, no, it is the
same person. Yeah, so the governor. Okay, just the way
(33:59):
that that was worded, it sound like they were not
the same person, And I was like, wait, what's happening here? So, yeah,
governor got some weird orb lights on his ranch.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
I don't mean to debox the orb light man, but
did we confirm if the Space center people were destroying
things that day? Uh?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Well, it is in where is he?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I'm looking for the article.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It is the only one that is in Spanish Hispaniolas.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
I'm scrolling, I'm not seeing no Spanish.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Hold on, hold on, let me let me grab the
links for you.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
I feel like I've been let out, like I've been
banned from this chat.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
You're in it. You're in it. You can see here.
I tagged you. I tagged you in everything.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
It's okay, I'll tag.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You five more times if I have to.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Should I probably be reading this in English? Yes, my
Spanish is very minimal. But at the same time, what
would be the point.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
It started auto playing the video? I don't think you
all could hear it, but it was in the recorder
and I could hear it. Oops, I did not see.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
The date here?
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Hold on, am I not the date of the article
the date that.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
They saw it.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
I'm looking to see that. Uh what date did he
posts this photo?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm trying to find out because most of the photos
are not loading for me unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Posta here.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Oh he posted it on October twenty fifth. Okay, it
was this year twenty five, I think so, yeah right here?
Oh wow, okay, because he says, what is this and
I'm like, okay, what was the Space center dropping? Okay
(35:58):
or you can misspell that, thank you. October twenty fifth,
twenty twenty five, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, he basically posted it because he was looking for explanations,
which is cool.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
There was, in fact a space launch October.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Well, there we go.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I don't know if the.
Speaker 8 (36:23):
Timeline adds up so obviously, yeah, but that's a have
to do, Like, that's a good indication. I would have
to like look to see what time he recorded the
video and how that here is the timing that they
did the space launch. It looks like they did the
space launch at eleven am TV, which is fifteen hundred UTC.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
So that's like if you all want to see the video.
By the way, check out this one and the videos
linked in it. It's not in the sky, is the
weird part. It is like hovering above the ground.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I see why. He was like, hey, who can tell
me what this is? Yeah, well the way it was worded,
because again it was translated.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
But to be fair, this next scene where it's like
rolling down the hill, it looks like somebody beefed it and.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Watching.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
There's a bunch of them.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
That looks like less like it's paranormal and more like
somebody really got messed up and fell hard. Although honestly though,
this could also just be the breeze that did fall
and just happened to make impact past the line, you know,
I mean, I'm all for aliens here anti alien by
(37:51):
the way, I.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Mean, to be fair, Unfortunately, most of the videos that
I've watched while we've been doing this, there's been stuff
that I'm like, oh, it's very clearly just this this one,
I'm not entirely sure what it is. It could be aliens,
it could be any number of things.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
I'm still for a whole group of people got together
with these weird players or something, and then just like
one dude fell real bad. Somebody was falling down that hill.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
They're like, hey, you want to go mess with the governor.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I mean, I.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Wouldn't, like people need to stop messing with these governors
and ends up getting in some serious trouble. On the
last episode, we talked about those people doing witchcraft on
a governor's house, like people need to just calm down
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Maybe this is just more people trying to do witchcraft
outside a governor's house, Like just let let them do it.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
Not even for political reasons. I just want to mess
with the governor. I don't even care, Like who's my
governor right now? I don't know, but I'm going to
mess with them, like I'm going for it.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
For a second, I thought you legitimately did not know
who your governor was right now, and I was like,
I can help you, And then I went, no, that
was rhetorical.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
I was I was playing a state.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I got there a second later.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
I can do the street.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
You know, it's all right, I wouldn't. You wouldn't even
have to pay me.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I do it for free, all right, Vane. I gotta
talk to you later. Actually, y'all want to just go
stand around some governor's houses just doing weird stuff, like
we just juggle.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Is a few flare guns? Oh, we need the flares.
We need some funny masks and a few frogs and
we can manage this.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Okay, you remember, like all the creepy clown sightings back
in the day. What if we just bring that back
just outside of governor's houses, just like stand there, just
like juggling. Like, hey, that.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Would be fine.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
I think that we should dress like the ghost of
Christmas Past.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Okay, there are three of us.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Okay, listen, I don't think you understand how much I
love that movie, Oh god, the Muppet version specifically.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
So can we can we can? We can we dress
up for Christmas as the as the three ghosts. I
know you don't really dress up for Christmas, but like,
I don't care. I'm in which who wants to be
which ghost?
Speaker 5 (40:35):
I want all the chains? I don't remember which ghosts
that is, but I know those.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
Are the Marley Brothers. They're the ones that him that
the ghosts are coming.
Speaker 5 (40:44):
Are you talking about the Muppet version because I haven't
watched it.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
So he has, so he has his old associates who
have the chains, and they tell.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Him that the ghosts are coming, and he's like, ghosts.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Okay, yeah, so you have thet the Christmas Path, the
ghost of Christmas present, and the ghost of Christmas future.
Christmas future is the one that always looks like a
grim reaper.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Kind of yeah, which I'm very bad, but I didn't
want to call DIBs on it.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Okay, that one ballads.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Okay, I didn't want to call DIBs on it. Who
wants who wants present?
Speaker 4 (41:22):
I kind of like present.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
I had a feeling, I kind of you.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Know, it's, oh my god, I'm gonna sound so stupid,
but I already had like an alefit in mind on
how I would do it if I ever got the chance.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Okay, all right, all right, Ghost of Christmas past.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
Okay, So here's the thing. If we're if we're haunting
a governor, If.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
I'm we're doing this to haunt the governor.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Yes, oh, absolutely all of the above.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Now Okay, I'm sorry, I got too excited.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Not dressing up.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
I want to pose.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm not opposed.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
Okay, hold on, this is important to the haunting.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
All right, Okay, I'm gonna need a zip line.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
I love it. That's that's the first thing you need
is I need a zipline.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
Okay, floats and that's how a tariff does.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
I'm gonna grab the governor.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
An rid them out the window. Well, then I gotta
get in your and be there with like the Christmas
cor all set up and ready to go. And I'm
like him and know me better man.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
And then I in a graveyard. I get to just
hang out in a graveyard. I'm in. I'm already out there.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
He comes to you, I will deliver him to you.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, yeah, just drop him off. Eventually, it'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (42:59):
I'll take him on the zip line. I can bring
him back.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
While you have him out. I will get the Christmas
the core ready. I'll get our root planned to where
I'm taking him, and then and then then he drops
with the zip line to go to where Alex is.
That way it seems like he's falling to his death.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
It's okay, Oh my gosh, all right, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
The weird Head the Evening us planning out Weird News
is literally us planning on how we're going to cosplay
the three Ghosts from a Christmas Carol and somehow abdorsh
but then not abdust the government.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
He comes along willingly.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Can you imagine someone goes through with that and then
we get the ball, They're well, we know.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Who did it.
Speaker 4 (43:49):
They're like, there are these three people on this one pot,
on this one radio show talk.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
The plus side, the plus that is. I think it'll
be very easy to prove it's not us, just solely
based on.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
Height that is valid. That is very valid.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Vein is very tall. I am very not tall. Janelle.
I feel like you're a normal height. Yeah, you're a
normal height, so you might be in hot water.
Speaker 5 (44:23):
Okay, but anyways, uh well, okay, I got distracted the government.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
We were talking about. We were talking. So we've had
two stories in the past, two shows that have evolved governors.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
That was on here with people or it just seems
like people might be messing with governors.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
So I think we should get in on this also,
regardless if we do or do not mess with a governor,
I really do think we should dress up as the
ghosts of Christmas past present in the future and at
least go like Christmas caroling or something. I don't know
you have a Christmas party. Yeah, well strange truck Christmas party.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
I don't know if you guys would be down. But
the Ohio Renaissance Fair does do a mule Tide really weekends? Yes, okay,
mule tide weekends. That might be when we gotta we
gotta And I'm pretty sure they have a zip line.
Speaker 5 (45:22):
As all as past it's okay.
Speaker 6 (45:25):
Yeah, okay, okay, I mean I like this plan are
a costumes?
Speaker 5 (45:35):
No, everyone, I do have.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
I do have a weird news thing which is kind
of stumer to what we were just talking about with
the with the.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
With the ghosts okay, with the U boats.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
So this happened this week actually, and this was where
there were there was this mysterious light light scene across Ireland.
Ooh and so so it looks like a spacecraft. That's
the thing people are saying. It doesn't look like like
an actual orb It looks like an object. Right. So
(46:13):
the thing about Ireland is in terms of size, it's
not as big as what someone might think. So if
you say you're in Galway, which is on more or less,
I guess you would call it like the western coast,
and you want to go to Dublin, which is on
the eastern coast. It takes two hours. So Ireland isn't
like a large country. Yeah, it's you know, so for
(46:35):
but it was interesting that like it was reported across
the country, like it wasn't just like seen in one
spot like the multiple people saw this across Ireland. Yeah,
well then it's out on the article like I'm currently
where still looking at. They think it could have been
linked to elon Musk like SpaceX rocket launch. However, those
(47:02):
people were saying the light it was going to be
let me look this up. I don't see a date
listed on this. I think it was a I want
to say it was like Wednesday or Tuesday night this week,
(47:24):
so October, like twenty eighth or twenty night.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Hmm.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
So there are some videos like below, so some people
were talking about like some like their meteorologists were like, well,
it's kind of too high in the sky to be
like a helicopter and it made no noise. I think
it's the part that's a little odd to people.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
Yeah, I see if they did launch a rocket on yeah,
but that they think.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
That could have been it. But it wasn't making any sounds,
so I don't know if it's like expected that like
his rockets would make sound. I don't know if that's
like a special thing with his rockets where they don't.
Speaker 5 (48:06):
Yeah far away you are, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
Yeah, but it's a kind of interesting. It sparks like
a big thing for like two days because literally it
was like across this entire country everyone thought and all like,
I don't know what that is? What is it? So
it's pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
It was.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
It was funny but also fascinating at the same time.
But yeah, so far, the Irish Aviation Authority has not
commented on it either, so I'm sure they'll probably confirm.
Speaker 5 (48:43):
But yeah, I mean it looks like what I've seen.
I don't know if you've seen the rocket launches and
stuff before, but it looks eerie like when they're it
looks odd.
Speaker 4 (48:56):
Yeah, yeah, it definitely looks odd like it has It's
like you can see the object like what I like,
the space ship or whatever, like in the center, and
then it has like this halo of light around it. Yeah,
it looks so strange for people that like aren't seeing
the video, like.
Speaker 5 (49:12):
Yeah, and well it's the thing is when they break apart,
it looks like it can look like the end of
the world, like it happened, and I was looking up,
I'm like, is that a swarm of meteors? Am I
gonna die? Like? Not a good feeling. I was like,
I mean, if this is how I go, that's how
I go.
Speaker 4 (49:32):
But you go out by space like space.
Speaker 5 (49:39):
You know, I you know, I'm sure in Ireland that's
that's you know. If they don't get just see it
that often, that's.
Speaker 4 (49:45):
I don't think they do. And I don't think it
was something where people thought like the trajectory of it
was going to kind of like go that way in
a sense like it was. It was launched from Florida,
So I don't know if they just didn't think, I
do you know that it would go in a sense
like Norse of the planet. I don't know, but yeah,
(50:06):
it was pretty It was pretty interesting to see everyone
recording and it's like I'm in Doublin and I see
it and I'm down the here and like and it's
then I see it like this entire country just kind
of like this moment so where they where they were
all seeing something that they were like, I don't know
what this is, Like this is crazy so now good time.
Speaker 5 (50:28):
I wish it was aliens.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
I honestly do too, and that's exactly it. I don't
want to make it sound like we're like zupooing on
aliens like I do. I do hope to within reason
that there are other things out there. I also think
that they could be in the ocean. Song will be
honest with you, I think space in the ocean, just
because there's so much we don't know where I have
(50:51):
explored yet, I think it's possible. So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (50:59):
What you're any out do you want? Do you want
ocean alien? You want aliens?
Speaker 2 (51:07):
I mean, I don't even think. I don't think it's
a question of wanting them or not. I feel like
statistically they already exist, so you know, it's not a
question of whether I want them or not. They're out there.
I just don't know where.
Speaker 5 (51:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah, one day we will, uh we will get someone
calling in who is an alien? Maybe who knows?
Speaker 4 (51:33):
Ooh, that'd be interesting.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
I'm actually kinds we haven't already met.
Speaker 4 (51:39):
I'm surprised that wasn't listed on the Uh the one
article we discussed about supernatural experiences, did it mention alien?
Speaker 7 (51:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah, you know they show.
Speaker 4 (51:49):
Sure did not was it strictly just like you know,
go steam an angel?
Speaker 5 (51:55):
They did not mention alien.
Speaker 4 (51:56):
I wonder how many people would say, but I feel
like they've had that kind of experience.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
I mean, be fair, I'm like ninety percent sure that
if certain groups were to see aliens, they would assume
it was a demon, you know.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
And that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (52:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (52:17):
That's why it's like it's not specific enough.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is that is true. That is true.
Speaker 5 (52:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
It has also heard some people talk about alien to
refer to like, for example, if we're just thinking of
like a living being that is not from Earth, it
could just be bacteria, it.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Could be well, honestly, I've thought about that a lot too,
of just like if we actually like are.
Speaker 4 (52:47):
Not sitting down high intelligence. Yeah, that's much like a
high intelligent being. It's just like a living organism that's
not from the planet.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
Well, if we were like we even recognize it, I
mean honestly, right.
Speaker 4 (53:01):
I don't know. I think it's dependents because there's that
uncanny valley thing.
Speaker 2 (53:04):
It may not look anything like us. Well, I mean,
we could have meant so many aliens and they could
just be a form of gas.
Speaker 4 (53:11):
Who knows that's true. That's true.
Speaker 5 (53:14):
I don't mean to quote other media, but there's an
entire Rick and Morty episode about that.
Speaker 4 (53:21):
Alien.
Speaker 9 (53:24):
Why oh yeah, I mean, you know, I don't think
aliens will ever be what we expect them to be, like,
even if I don't think it's going to be like,
I wish they were cool gray aliens like from the
you know.
Speaker 4 (53:43):
Yeah, I want like a men in Black variety of aliens.
You know, I want different ones that do different things
and have their own cultures.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
But yeah, all I'm thinking is no one expects the
Spanish and quisition. Nobody expects the aliens to not be
what we think they'd be, which is to take a
long reach to get to that. But yeah, hey we
(54:11):
got there. Well, we have once again hit the top
of the hour. Though, Is there any other quick weird
news anybody needs to get in before we sign off
for the night.
Speaker 4 (54:24):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
All right, well, then we will go ahead and sign
off from Strange Talk. Good night.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
In good evening and welcome to the hour dedicated to
(01:28):
talking about all things strange, weird, and paranormal. You're listening
to Strange Doock, broadcast on sixteen sixty AM in north
Side ninety one point seven FM h T two w
VX you in Cincinnati, WHILESOY stream at Radio artifact dot
com around the entire planet Earth. The introtact to this episode,
of most of our episodes, is the Strange Shock intro
by sor Soo. I'm your host, Alex, and I think
(01:49):
we have been in Janelle again.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, hello, Hello.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I can't believe I messed up the intro. It's been
a while. Apparently it's been too long. Goodness, that's what
happens it. I don't think I've actually talked about this
on the show. Doing the intro, I'm hitting a lot
of buttons at once. So the problem there was I
was like, wait, what are we talk about? Like the
funny parties? The words that I forgot was strange talk.
(02:20):
I was like, I'm hitting too many buttons and they're
so pretty, and I put new music on this and wait,
what am I talking about?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Goodness, it happened there, It happened.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, we are talking a little bit more weird news.
But uh, before we get into all that, did you
want to talk about season five a little bit? I
realized our past episodes, we haven't even really talked about
season five yet.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, I'm sure we can.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, yes, is there anything fun and exciting you all
want to talk about in season five? We'll see what
we can make happen.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I think with season five it would be really fun
to do some interviews with people that run like little
small museums.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Potentially Ye has been on my list.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yes, so for those of you who may or may
not know, I don't know if we mentioned it before.
We were at Scare sets running a boot and I
would love to do the Nightmare Museum about in Summerset, Kentucky.
I think that would be a very fun one. But
like little things like that, Yeah, I like those little
like road side kind of in the hole in the wall,
(03:41):
appointment only kind of places. So I think it'd be
fun to do a little more of those.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, behind the scenes, we've been talking about wanting to
go to a lot of those places. But because I
do love, you know, talking to all of our different
guests and stuff. But it's usually online, and it's it's
just fun to get to talk to them in person
and either fun and spooky museums for sure, for sure. Man,
(04:05):
how about you, is there anything specific you'd like to
see this season.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I'm here for the running, honestly, I'm just I'm just
excited to talk about spooky things.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, you're in it for the space tornadoes. We know.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I'm in it for the.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I hope we get some of those. For you.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Let's go to space.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I mean it it'll be a fun time, you know.
I mean the space tornadoes too, but I mean just
the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Agree, there's space is always spooky.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Actually, I don't know if I've asked you about this question.
I feel like everyone has a preference between space and
like deep ocean, Like which one if you had to
go to one of the two, which one would you
two go to?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I mean, I already said I want to be a
storm chaser in space.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You can't for sure, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I mean you can.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Storm chase in the ocean. There are ocean storms, but
it's not the same, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, uh, Janelle, how about true? For me?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think it would definitely be uh the sea, you know,
well for some of you my if you're on the discord,
my user name is kazoo Wu. So I feel like
the deep sea.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I had a feeling those are going to be your answers.
So if I have the choice, I would rather go
to space. But I'm still totally open to go to
the ocean. So I'm I'm somewhere between, but I really
want to go to space partially. Oh, I'm not at all.
(05:51):
I will say I'm.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
For the marianas French let's go.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I would love to do that. But the idea of
all that water scary. Yeah. Yeah, just when I think
of how much pressure would be on you from the ocean,
it's it's terrifying to me. I'd still I'd still do
it as long as it was safe. That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yeah, I don't. It's one the super I would definitely
have to be a point in time where, uh, I
don't know where We're not gonna the pressure wouldn't be
as much of a big deal. Almost like a casual stroll.
I don't know if we ever get there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
A casual stroll through.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Like a lesion.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
They walk like you're going to a park through the
depths of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know, I could do like you do? Like you too, Well,
shall we pardon the pun, dive into our weird news articles.
I was already gonna say it, and then I realized
it was a pun, So I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
The funny thing is that works for both and the ocean.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, exactly, uh huh yeah. I was already gonna say it.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
It.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Literally as soon as I opened my mouth, I went, oh,
that's a pun, Alex, Why what have you done?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Maybe four more puns this season?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Maybe, I'm I mean, maybe we need to hear from
the people because I'm never sure do you want more
or less puns? Because like, we can make it happen.
I try to reel it back though, but if that's
what the people want, we will give you puns. I
can also bring back my very very terrible segues because
I used to do some really bad ones, like things
(07:38):
that were not related at all. It was great.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
You're like, well, this is it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Which one of you would like to pick our first
weird news article. We have so many to pick from.
There's been a lot going on in the world.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
There has been.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I mean, I don't know. I'm looking through these I do.
I do like seeing this this Alaskan triangle thing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh yeah, we talked about that one a while back.
All the ones, yeah, all.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
The ones February.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I'm sorry, I'm scrolling.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I put a little I put a little thing in
there to tell you which one was weird news from
October November. So that way, uh, it was a little easier, vain.
I'm going to repost this one at the bottom. I
feel like this one's up your alley if you want
this one.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
I did see that, but face because you know, once
again space.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I figured you'd want it because it's all about space.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
I mean, you know, none of this is really so.
The thing about this one is, I know it's supposed
to be strange, but I already knew this.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, yeah, it's more of a warning.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah. The article is about how being in space messes
with your body. It can cause cause issues of your
spine all that like. And the thing is is that
I've already I already knew this because uh, you know,
space is a big interest of mine, is it it is?
(09:20):
I don't want to be an I don't want to
I do want to be a space chaser, but I
don't want to be an astronautic.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Listen, there's a big difference between a storm taser and
a meteorologist. Okay, it's totally valid.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Math.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know, I don't want to know math. I already
know too much math as it is amazing. But yeah,
so that's what this article is about. It it's about
the radiation that you have to deal with. Did you
know that? Actually? Well, okay, so this is where the
weird news stop. Is me talking about?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
No more weird news. We're done.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
No, we're not on a spacecram. Now. There's actually a
NASA standard for how much radiation you're allowed to take,
so you can go on space chiens. But like, if
you go on too many, they're like, you're done.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Man, Yeah, you can't do anything. You have to pick
the good ones because after a certain amount of time,
you can't do more.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yeah, you got to really hope that you get a
good space mission otherwise. Can you imagine you hit the
cap and you're like, oh, I didn't even get to
see anything.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Cool man, They sent me to so many boring moons.
They didn't even send us to our moon. Yeah, no,
not even that.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
I didn't even get see one of Jupiter's moons, and
there's over eighty.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh my gosh, okay, I feel like they're gonna send
you to one of Jupiter's moons. They might as well
send you to all of Jupiter's moons, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
All eighty.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yes, listen, hey, if you had to start on one
of Jupiter's moons, which one would you pick?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
There's okay, I don't know if I said, but there's
like eighty of them. I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm looking up a list. I'm looking up a list.
I'm picking a favorite right now, off of pure vibes.
Hold on, give me a second.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I am too, and then I want to look more
into it. Okay, let me see what I got here.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, this is subject to change, but off of pure
like first time vibes. I'll give me one second here.
Oh oh oh okay, I have a top contender right now.
Oh there's so many.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Some of these just looks like rocks.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That's because that's that's what that's what I.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Regret to inform you that.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
They look more like a rocky rock.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They don't look there's one just straight up named Kale.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
To be fair, our moon is in like our back door,
Jupiter's moon is like I don't know, like three h
O ways over, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
All right, I think I think I got one. I
think I'm going with Callisto. I feel like that's a
very solid moon.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Okay, I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'm looking, no pressure, there's only eighty of them, I know.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I'm like, it's not an evaperation, you know what. I'm
choosing S. Two thousand and three J nine.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Why I knew you were gonna go with that one.
I was like, I don't know why. I was like,
you're gonna go with that one. She's gonna take one
of these ones.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Why because it doesn't have a name. It's a string
of numbers. And if you tell me that it's my favorite,
later I won't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Oh, I'm going to hold you to that.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay, I got mine because it looks like rchie. I
think that might be house pronounced it a R c ad.
That's the name of my kerdel. Oh, I'm picking this one, Vain.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Which one was the one you said? Genuinely I wanted
to find it in the.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It was S.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
S two thousand and three.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
J oh, there's a J ten as well. Okay, that's
why I was I couldn't find it?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
All right, all right, my my, the picture of mine
is literally just a grainy photo with an arrow pointing
to a dot.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, that's pretty much a minus. You're talking about S.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Two thousand and three J nine.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Right, yeah, yeah, okay two thousand and three J.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Nine Ignore me just quickly. Updating your bio on the website.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Identifies as S. Two thousand and nine J No.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No, I'm really actually yeah, I'm gonna add all of
our favorite moons on there. Why not? Who let me
have control over this?
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Putting him? Please ask Vane about their favorite moon.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
On This is what you're going to be known for.
I hope you're ready.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
They're very passionate about that particular mood.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Hold on, I gotta scroll down, get to the page
about here we go Okane. Where are you?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
There?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
You are.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Favorite?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Apparently the orbital period of this particular moon is seven
and sixty eight days.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's a lot of days. That's that's many many a day.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Many days.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Mine is seven hundred seven twenty three point nine days.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Two years is faster than mine.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
That's not mine's just a little bit faster.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But I don't you think I'm smaller, speedier moon.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Out dot.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
My moon was discovered on the Halloween in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
How do you? How do you spell your moon? And
I'm trying to find yours on this list?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
It sound hurts the bottom and it's a R G H.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
R H. Where. Oh yep, there it is. There, it
goes there, it goes there, it is goodbye there went
Oh my gosh, well, oh there. The web website has
been updated with our favorite moons. I hope I didn't
accidentally destroy everything else on the website by doing that.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
My moon is only three kilometers. It's about two miles long,
not two miles in diameter.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I chose a big one. Calisto is the third largest
moon in the Solar System, apparently, and it is nearly
as large as the planet Mercury. Mine was not mine
was discovered on January seventh, sixteen ten.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Oh, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Thanks, you know about space.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Have a Okay, you're giving me a lot of credit here.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You have proven yourself as the resident expert here amongst
us three. I never said it was because of academic merits,
but so I took astronomy in college and at the time,
(16:34):
they were always like, we don't know if Venus is
even like really a planet. I don't think I remember
hearing about this. So they were like, we don't know
Venus is actually solid, but it's because it's a gas
because of all the gases. Every time they send something
into it, it just melts. Do we know if Venus
(16:56):
solid or not? Or is it still potentially just a
ball of like acid gas Venus Venus wants to the Sun.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I mean it's probably going to be more just a
core and a lot of gas. I mean, I don't
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I didn't know. I didn't know if there was a
breakthrough between the time I was in college and alward,
they're like, oh, no, Venus does have like ground.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
According according to Wikipedia, it's considered a rocky planet and
it's a twin. I don't know why I said that
with like an attitude that's just from Wikipedia.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Well, I mean it is a lot of like yeah,
there's just a lot of acid and stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I just don't think we've been able to like fully
like get down there, like.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Venus is just built different and because of that, our technology,
thinking of his gashes, I was about to make it
Urinus joke. And then I realized that I don't think
Ranus is that sort of planet, is it?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
Ham, Gay, I don't, I don't think so, Hm, I
don't think so it's planet.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I'm suddenly realizing I know a lot less about planets
than I thought.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Dattered And oh and Jupiter. See we went by to
It's because I was still thinking about Jupiter. That's why.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh, quick thing about Jupiter. Yeah, easy, quick thing about Jupiter.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Jupiter, for sure, not right now the planets I was thinking.
I was, you know, I also don't really care about
Venus though. To be fair, Venus and Mercury are the
most boring planets to me.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So I don't know what's the most interesting planet to you?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Oh? I mean probably saturned. It's got a lot of rings.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
If you like it, then you should have put some
rings on it.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Yeah, lots of rings. Very interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Fine, Okay, do you know what's your favorite planet?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I didn't know. This is kind of I didn't know
we were talking to have me talk about space.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yes, sorry, said that they're not the expert, so that
means you're what we got. Oh god, no, I just
that's your favorite.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I thought that Venus is gasehous. There for a second,
I immediately prove that I am not an expert.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
It's immediately hey, we're all learning here, are we? Yes?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
All right? Not what's your favorite planet? Okay? I mean
I would say.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
It's probably Urinus. Yeah, it's so blue. I'm a very
visual person.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah that's fair.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
You know. I feel like it's a very very striking
color and that that always just like catches my eyes
if I'm looking at a planetary and I'm always like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, sorry, I feel like I'm gonna go with Neptune.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Still part of this.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, Pluto, hands down, Yeah, supremacy.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
We're going to be with the current times is not a.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Plan Well, hold on, let me check Wikipedia. Let's see
if it's been reinstated. They don't know. Give me this.
It's a dwarf planet, a dwarf planets, a planet.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
It's not as it's not a planet, the dwarf.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Plan it's a planet.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Sorry, Pluto, you're a real one anyway. All right, weird news,
who wants to who wants to grab a weird news article?
We've gotten very distracted.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I already took my turn.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I already you know. Would you like to go next?
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I would so.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Sticking with my theme about the tea, this is from
a while back, because some people may know about it
or not. But have you guys heard about the octopus
city that was found in Australia.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
No, I did not hear about it.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
But what did you say, the octopus city?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, the octopus city.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
It was found off the.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Coast of Australia.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
You know that sounds like something Australia would have. No,
I have.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I mean honestly, right, like when you find out where
it is, right, So what ended up happening was I'm
assuming the courts researchers are out there and they found
in the waters of the Jervist Day. So it's kind
of on the eastern coast of Australia that about like
fifteen of octopuses, they're called gloomy octopuses have been sort
(21:54):
of like living in this like coral formation together and
they almost look like little apartments, like each one kind
of like has their own little like sort of nook
and cranny for their like little dents, and sometimes they
(22:14):
would like evict each other from the dns, which is
kind of funny to me. But I don't know. It's
also being called autlantis I name, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Okay, you of all people are like, let me talk
you about the Octobus city and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
All right, zu, yeah, I got this. You know, it's
my summer home.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
And uh.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I think it's also because some of the dents, like
they will actually like grape themselves, like they'll make themselves
using shells from their leftover prey. So it isn't just
like they're they're finding a space and going to they
are they're almost actively making this hm hm. They have
seen some like in the past similar to them, however
(23:06):
they never last as long. And it seems to also
be this species of octopus, this gloomy octopuses that tend
to be the ones that like to live in these
colonies because most occupy like to be fairly secluded. Yeah,
they don't really live in colonies. So yeah, I just
thought that was interesting. Yeah. They're also finding out that
(23:31):
the gloomy occupy also have different personalities, so that's been
leading into some interesting research there. So yeah, they're they're
kind of right now, I think looking ato like why
they want to group together and you know, things like that.
But some people think it's just a defense thing by
(23:51):
like how fish swim in school. But you know, it
could just be like a regional thing too, where it's
like others enough food but not enough shell her for
all of us, so we're just kind of have to
like get along. So yeah, they're just gonna keep looking
into these little settlements of these little guys and you know, figure.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Out they're just a little good, cool guys. They're just
hanging out. They're they're they're evicting each other so they
can live in some coral you know what.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It's like a little weird news. Thank you, guys. There's
a very cute picture. At least I think he's cute,
like little like what the little octopus looks like and
things like that. So yeah, well I'm a stile bit
of an older article, but that keeps really cool.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, I like Actlantis is really good. Anytime I think
I've got a good name for something, somebody will give
me a better name, and I'm like, oh, you're right.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's so cool. Good job, guys, that's that's fun.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Uh, can you enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I know that Halloween has passed, but I have an
article here that is about the ten most dangerous states
for trigger treaters and the ten most safest states for
trigger treats. Obviously, this is subject to change before twenty
twenty six, but this is from Mental Floss, written by
Paul Anthony Jones. Basically, they put together a whole bunch
(25:26):
of data about which states have the most pedestrian fatalities
overall per one hundred thousand population and pedestrian injuries per
one hundred thousand children. So, going with that data, the
ten most dangerous places to trigger treat just because of
cars are New Mexico, South Carolina, Wyoming, Arizona, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, Arkansas,
(25:55):
and Mississippi. And the numbers are pretty close on most
of those, except for New Mexico for some reason is
like double everybody else. I'm not really sure what that
is about.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
So they don't elaborate.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Does not elaborate them? Why? Yeah? And I will give
you all the least dangerous ones to also again from
the same data. Uh, the least dangerous ones on here
are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Connecticut, Vermont,
New York, and Utah. Huh So that's interesting.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I'm not going to say what I was gonna say offensive.
We're not going to say are you anyway?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Are you dunking on New Jersey?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
No, I was gonna dump on Utah actually, but it's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Oh my gosh, Well I will. I will also give
us a real article, since that one was a kind
of a quick one. We were kind of talking about
dystopian stuff last time, so this one we're talking a
lot about AI. This one's from Interesting Engineering. This is
written by Cave Shike. Oh oh. I should have looked
(27:17):
that up before I said that. I will look up
how to say his name. But the title is data
centers turned to old jet engines to power AIS soaring
energy demands. So basically, to combat the issues with AI
using so much power, they are looking to power them
with old jet engines that they can't use to fly
(27:38):
planes anymore, which would be a good way to recycle them,
I suppose. But yeah, I just I thought that that
was interesting because otherwise we are going to have power issues.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
We're already venturing in that territory.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yes, rather, we're going to run into worst issues.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Yeah, recycling away. If people aren't going to stop using AI,
I think we should at least be able to mitigate
the environment around it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Like, you know, by the way, if the Internet is correct,
his name should be pronounced Kaife Shike. I had to
look that up normally, I looked that up first. I
forgot to on that one. Yeah, I don't know. I'm
glad that they're looking for different ways to deal with
that problem sooner rather than later, you know.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, it's it's a problem we're increasingly heading towards dystopian times,
or or in them already. I'm not really sure which
at this point.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
We're like a frog that's been boiled in water.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
It's already we're there.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, we're cooking mmmmm, frog soup. Anybody I'm saying that
it's the vegetarian here.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
I know.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I was like, wait a minute, I.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Have never eaten frog, and I would like to not
try it. I don't think i'd like it.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Just I worked at Papado for a while, so I
have eating frog.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
And it's oh.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
It's you know, it's it's frogs. I honestly don't see
the point when there's not a lot to it, you know,
I just feel like it's a waste of a frog.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
But I just like frog.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It's a waste of a frog. Can I quote you on?
It's a waste of a frog.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
There's waste.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
There are a lot of pendon. So it's like even
if you.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Like, it's not a lot to do it.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Like if you eat one of those one type of
frogs that are like five thousand pounds or what you.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Like, the really there's a five thousand pound frog. I'm sorry,
wee back up.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
No, there's not.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
There's not five thousand frogs. That would be crazy.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
That would be crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
The wire frog is the largest frog and it's it's
only seven pounds. I'm just being dramatic. Yeah, it's just
I don't know. Frog's a lot of tendons, and it's
just I don't see the point. I mean, I guess
if you're really hungry, but like recreationally.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Recreational frog eating, if.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
You yeah, I can feel it. I can see what
you're saying. If you're like, if you're just like I
just want to eat something, you might not go to frog.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Yeah, like you know, there's other game to get. I'm sorry,
weird news and now I'm no, I'm rambling about hunting like,
I don't know. I just feel like there's easier prey.
There's alligators right there. If you really need.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Something to eat, Oh well, let me just go hunt
an alligator real quick.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
You know, frog is robab like you know a lot
of people that eat frog or you know it's a
primarily Southern considered dish, But like, alligators are quite next
to the frogs, you know what I mean. Like like,
if I'm starving and I see a frog and an
alligator and I have a spear, which one am I
going to go for?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I don't know if I would be hunting a frog
with a spear, but probably the alligator.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You're not a coachable Okay, Okay, so I only have
spear and my option is tiny frog and the alligator.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Right right, and at least then I hit it.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
So yeah, I don't how did we get to I'm
so sorry? How did we get to the frog?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
You know how it's made a comment about frogs somehow.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I haven't the slightest idea how we got here. And
I was like, at several points I was like I
should probably stop this, but I was like, no, no,
I want to know where this frog is going.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
I eat genuinely have frogs and alligators being.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I have how how do we get to frogs at all?
What is.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
That? We're boiling frog? Oh?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, yeah that's what it was.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Then you made a comment about being a vegetarian, and
then yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
There we go, there we go frog.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
I had to be like, I have ate a frog?
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah, I had to have.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
And of all the things I could have guessed about you,
I would be like, yeah, if out of all of us,
Van's probably eating a frog.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
I used to hunt. I've ate a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
You know.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
That's fair?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, okay, Steerness steern us back to the weird news.
I do have an article. It Google has translated it
for me from Spanish because I like to get articles
from their point of origin. It's from Reporte Indigo. The
(33:16):
title of it is what do you do in these cases? Uh?
Jamie Rodriguez el Bronco shares video of strange lights on
his ranch. So it is a video of some weird
some weird lights.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Are we back to aliens now?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Although when I scrawled down a little bit, it says
the former governor of Nuevo Leon uploaded a video to
his Facebook account showing several bright orange jobjecks near his ranch.
So now I'm like, wait, oh, no, it is the
same person. Yeah, so the governor. Okay, just the way
(33:59):
that that was worded, it sound like they were not
the same person, And I was like, wait, what's happening here? So, yeah,
governor got some weird orb lights on his ranch.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
I don't mean to debox the orb light man, but
did we confirm if the Space center people were destroying
things that day? Uh?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Well, it is in where is he?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I'm looking for the article.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It is the only one that is in Spanish Hispaniolas.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
I'm scrolling, I'm not seeing no Spanish.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Hold on, hold on, let me let me grab the
links for you.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
I feel like I've been let out, like I've been
banned from this chat.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
You're in it. You're in it. You can see here.
I tagged you. I tagged you in everything.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
It's okay, I'll tag.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You five more times if I have to.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Should I probably be reading this in English? Yes, my
Spanish is very minimal. But at the same time, what
would be the point.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
It started auto playing the video? I don't think you
all could hear it, but it was in the recorder
and I could hear it. Oops, I did not see.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
The date here?
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Hold on, am I not the date of the article
the date that.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
They saw it.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
I'm looking to see that. Uh what date did he
posts this photo?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm trying to find out because most of the photos
are not loading for me unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Posta here.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Oh he posted it on October twenty fifth. Okay, it
was this year twenty five, I think so, yeah right here?
Oh wow, okay, because he says, what is this and
I'm like, okay, what was the Space center dropping? Okay
(35:58):
or you can misspell that, thank you. October twenty fifth,
twenty twenty five, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, he basically posted it because he was looking for explanations,
which is cool.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
There was, in fact a space launch October.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Well, there we go.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I don't know if the.
Speaker 8 (36:23):
Timeline adds up so obviously, yeah, but that's a have
to do, Like, that's a good indication. I would have
to like look to see what time he recorded the
video and how that here is the timing that they
did the space launch. It looks like they did the
space launch at eleven am TV, which is fifteen hundred UTC.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
So that's like if you all want to see the video.
By the way, check out this one and the videos
linked in it. It's not in the sky, is the
weird part. It is like hovering above the ground.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I see why. He was like, hey, who can tell
me what this is? Yeah, well the way it was worded,
because again it was translated.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
But to be fair, this next scene where it's like
rolling down the hill, it looks like somebody beefed it and.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Watching.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
There's a bunch of them.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
That looks like less like it's paranormal and more like
somebody really got messed up and fell hard. Although honestly though,
this could also just be the breeze that did fall
and just happened to make impact past the line, you know,
I mean, I'm all for aliens here anti alien by
(37:51):
the way, I.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Mean, to be fair, Unfortunately, most of the videos that
I've watched while we've been doing this, there's been stuff
that I'm like, oh, it's very clearly just this this one,
I'm not entirely sure what it is. It could be aliens,
it could be any number of things.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
I'm still for a whole group of people got together
with these weird players or something, and then just like
one dude fell real bad. Somebody was falling down that hill.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
They're like, hey, you want to go mess with the governor.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I mean, I.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Wouldn't, like people need to stop messing with these governors
and ends up getting in some serious trouble. On the
last episode, we talked about those people doing witchcraft on
a governor's house, like people need to just calm down
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Maybe this is just more people trying to do witchcraft
outside a governor's house, Like just let let them do it.
Speaker 5 (38:52):
Not even for political reasons. I just want to mess
with the governor. I don't even care, Like who's my
governor right now? I don't know, but I'm going to
mess with them, like I'm going for it.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
For a second, I thought you legitimately did not know
who your governor was right now, and I was like,
I can help you, And then I went, no, that
was rhetorical.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
I was I was playing a state.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I got there a second later.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
I can do the street.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
You know, it's all right, I wouldn't. You wouldn't even
have to pay me.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I do it for free, all right, Vane. I gotta
talk to you later. Actually, y'all want to just go
stand around some governor's houses just doing weird stuff, like
we just juggle.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Is a few flare guns? Oh, we need the flares.
We need some funny masks and a few frogs and
we can manage this.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Okay, you remember, like all the creepy clown sightings back
in the day. What if we just bring that back
just outside of governor's houses, just like stand there, just
like juggling. Like, hey, that.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Would be fine.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
I think that we should dress like the ghost of
Christmas Past.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Okay, there are three of us.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Okay, listen, I don't think you understand how much I
love that movie, Oh god, the Muppet version specifically.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
So can we can we can? We can we dress
up for Christmas as the as the three ghosts. I
know you don't really dress up for Christmas, but like,
I don't care. I'm in which who wants to be
which ghost?
Speaker 5 (40:35):
I want all the chains? I don't remember which ghosts
that is, but I know those.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
Are the Marley Brothers. They're the ones that him that
the ghosts are coming.
Speaker 5 (40:44):
Are you talking about the Muppet version because I haven't
watched it.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
So he has, so he has his old associates who
have the chains, and they tell.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Him that the ghosts are coming, and he's like, ghosts.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Okay, yeah, so you have thet the Christmas Path, the
ghost of Christmas present, and the ghost of Christmas future.
Christmas future is the one that always looks like a
grim reaper.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Kind of yeah, which I'm very bad, but I didn't
want to call DIBs on it.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
Okay, that one ballads.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Okay, I didn't want to call DIBs on it. Who
wants who wants present?
Speaker 4 (41:22):
I kind of like present.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
I had a feeling, I kind of you.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Know, it's, oh my god, I'm gonna sound so stupid,
but I already had like an alefit in mind on
how I would do it if I ever got the chance.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Okay, all right, all right, Ghost of Christmas past.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
Okay, So here's the thing. If we're if we're haunting
a governor, If.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
I'm we're doing this to haunt the governor.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Yes, oh, absolutely all of the above.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Now Okay, I'm sorry, I got too excited.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
Not dressing up.
Speaker 4 (41:55):
I want to pose.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm not opposed.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
Okay, hold on, this is important to the haunting.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
All right, Okay, I'm gonna need a zip line.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
I love it. That's that's the first thing you need
is I need a zipline.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
Okay, floats and that's how a tariff does.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
I'm gonna grab the governor.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
An rid them out the window. Well, then I gotta
get in your and be there with like the Christmas
cor all set up and ready to go. And I'm
like him and know me better man.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
And then I in a graveyard. I get to just
hang out in a graveyard. I'm in. I'm already out there.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
He comes to you, I will deliver him to you.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, yeah, just drop him off. Eventually, it'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (42:59):
I'll take him on the zip line. I can bring
him back.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
While you have him out. I will get the Christmas
the core ready. I'll get our root planned to where
I'm taking him, and then and then then he drops
with the zip line to go to where Alex is.
That way it seems like he's falling to his death.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
It's okay, Oh my gosh, all right, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
The weird Head the Evening us planning out Weird News
is literally us planning on how we're going to cosplay
the three Ghosts from a Christmas Carol and somehow abdorsh
but then not abdust the government.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
He comes along willingly.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Can you imagine someone goes through with that and then
we get the ball, They're well, we know.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Who did it.
Speaker 4 (43:49):
They're like, there are these three people on this one pot,
on this one radio show talk.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
The plus side, the plus that is. I think it'll
be very easy to prove it's not us, just solely
based on.
Speaker 4 (44:04):
Height that is valid. That is very valid.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Vein is very tall. I am very not tall. Janelle.
I feel like you're a normal height. Yeah, you're a
normal height, so you might be in hot water.
Speaker 5 (44:23):
Okay, but anyways, uh well, okay, I got distracted the government.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
We were talking about. We were talking. So we've had
two stories in the past, two shows that have evolved governors.
Speaker 5 (44:36):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
That was on here with people or it just seems
like people might be messing with governors.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
So I think we should get in on this also,
regardless if we do or do not mess with a governor,
I really do think we should dress up as the
ghosts of Christmas past present in the future and at
least go like Christmas caroling or something. I don't know
you have a Christmas party. Yeah, well strange truck Christmas party.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
I don't know if you guys would be down. But
the Ohio Renaissance Fair does do a mule Tide really weekends? Yes, okay,
mule tide weekends. That might be when we gotta we
gotta And I'm pretty sure they have a zip line.
Speaker 5 (45:22):
As all as past it's okay.
Speaker 6 (45:25):
Yeah, okay, okay, I mean I like this plan are
a costumes?
Speaker 5 (45:35):
No, everyone, I do have.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
I do have a weird news thing which is kind
of stumer to what we were just talking about with
the with the.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
With the ghosts okay, with the U boats.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
So this happened this week actually, and this was where
there were there was this mysterious light light scene across Ireland.
Ooh and so so it looks like a spacecraft. That's
the thing people are saying. It doesn't look like like
an actual orb It looks like an object. Right. So
(46:13):
the thing about Ireland is in terms of size, it's
not as big as what someone might think. So if
you say you're in Galway, which is on more or less,
I guess you would call it like the western coast,
and you want to go to Dublin, which is on
the eastern coast. It takes two hours. So Ireland isn't
like a large country. Yeah, it's you know, so for
(46:35):
but it was interesting that like it was reported across
the country, like it wasn't just like seen in one
spot like the multiple people saw this across Ireland. Yeah,
well then it's out on the article like I'm currently
where still looking at. They think it could have been
linked to elon Musk like SpaceX rocket launch. However, those
(47:02):
people were saying the light it was going to be
let me look this up. I don't see a date
listed on this. I think it was a I want
to say it was like Wednesday or Tuesday night this week,
(47:24):
so October, like twenty eighth or twenty night.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Hmm.
Speaker 4 (47:30):
So there are some videos like below, so some people
were talking about like some like their meteorologists were like, well,
it's kind of too high in the sky to be
like a helicopter and it made no noise. I think
it's the part that's a little odd to people.
Speaker 5 (47:49):
Yeah, I see if they did launch a rocket on yeah,
but that they think.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
That could have been it. But it wasn't making any sounds,
so I don't know if it's like expected that like
his rockets would make sound. I don't know if that's
like a special thing with his rockets where they don't.
Speaker 5 (48:06):
Yeah far away you are, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (48:14):
Yeah, but it's a kind of interesting. It sparks like
a big thing for like two days because literally it
was like across this entire country everyone thought and all like,
I don't know what that is? What is it? So
it's pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
It was.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
It was funny but also fascinating at the same time.
But yeah, so far, the Irish Aviation Authority has not
commented on it either, so I'm sure they'll probably confirm.
Speaker 5 (48:43):
But yeah, I mean it looks like what I've seen.
I don't know if you've seen the rocket launches and
stuff before, but it looks eerie like when they're it
looks odd.
Speaker 4 (48:56):
Yeah, yeah, it definitely looks odd like it has It's
like you can see the object like what I like,
the space ship or whatever, like in the center, and
then it has like this halo of light around it. Yeah,
it looks so strange for people that like aren't seeing
the video, like.
Speaker 5 (49:12):
Yeah, and well it's the thing is when they break apart,
it looks like it can look like the end of
the world, like it happened, and I was looking up,
I'm like, is that a swarm of meteors? Am I
gonna die? Like? Not a good feeling. I was like,
I mean, if this is how I go, that's how
I go.
Speaker 4 (49:32):
But you go out by space like space.
Speaker 5 (49:39):
You know, I you know, I'm sure in Ireland that's
that's you know. If they don't get just see it
that often, that's.
Speaker 4 (49:45):
I don't think they do. And I don't think it
was something where people thought like the trajectory of it
was going to kind of like go that way in
a sense like it was. It was launched from Florida,
So I don't know if they just didn't think, I
do you know that it would go in a sense
like Norse of the planet. I don't know, but yeah,
(50:06):
it was pretty It was pretty interesting to see everyone
recording and it's like I'm in Doublin and I see
it and I'm down the here and like and it's
then I see it like this entire country just kind
of like this moment so where they where they were
all seeing something that they were like, I don't know
what this is, Like this is crazy so now good time.
Speaker 5 (50:28):
I wish it was aliens.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
I honestly do too, and that's exactly it. I don't
want to make it sound like we're like zupooing on
aliens like I do. I do hope to within reason
that there are other things out there. I also think
that they could be in the ocean. Song will be
honest with you, I think space in the ocean, just
because there's so much we don't know where I have
(50:51):
explored yet, I think it's possible. So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (50:59):
What you're any out do you want? Do you want
ocean alien? You want aliens?
Speaker 2 (51:07):
I mean, I don't even think. I don't think it's
a question of wanting them or not. I feel like
statistically they already exist, so you know, it's not a
question of whether I want them or not. They're out there.
I just don't know where.
Speaker 5 (51:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Yeah, one day we will, uh we will get someone
calling in who is an alien? Maybe who knows?
Speaker 4 (51:33):
Ooh, that'd be interesting.
Speaker 2 (51:36):
I'm actually kinds we haven't already met.
Speaker 4 (51:39):
I'm surprised that wasn't listed on the Uh the one
article we discussed about supernatural experiences, did it mention alien?
Speaker 7 (51:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah, you know they show.
Speaker 4 (51:49):
Sure did not was it strictly just like you know,
go steam an angel?
Speaker 5 (51:55):
They did not mention alien.
Speaker 4 (51:56):
I wonder how many people would say, but I feel
like they've had that kind of experience.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
I mean, be fair, I'm like ninety percent sure that
if certain groups were to see aliens, they would assume
it was a demon, you know.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
And that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (52:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (52:17):
That's why it's like it's not specific enough.
Speaker 4 (52:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is that is true. That is true.
Speaker 5 (52:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
It has also heard some people talk about alien to
refer to like, for example, if we're just thinking of
like a living being that is not from Earth, it
could just be bacteria, it.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Could be well, honestly, I've thought about that a lot too,
of just like if we actually like are.
Speaker 4 (52:47):
Not sitting down high intelligence. Yeah, that's much like a
high intelligent being. It's just like a living organism that's
not from the planet.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
Well, if we were like we even recognize it, I
mean honestly, right.
Speaker 4 (53:01):
I don't know. I think it's dependents because there's that
uncanny valley thing.
Speaker 2 (53:04):
It may not look anything like us. Well, I mean,
we could have meant so many aliens and they could
just be a form of gas.
Speaker 4 (53:11):
Who knows that's true. That's true.
Speaker 5 (53:14):
I don't mean to quote other media, but there's an
entire Rick and Morty episode about that.
Speaker 4 (53:21):
Alien.
Speaker 9 (53:24):
Why oh yeah, I mean, you know, I don't think
aliens will ever be what we expect them to be, like,
even if I don't think it's going to be like,
I wish they were cool gray aliens like from the
you know.
Speaker 4 (53:43):
Yeah, I want like a men in Black variety of aliens.
You know, I want different ones that do different things
and have their own cultures.
Speaker 2 (53:49):
But yeah, all I'm thinking is no one expects the
Spanish and quisition. Nobody expects the aliens to not be
what we think they'd be, which is to take a
long reach to get to that. But yeah, hey we
(54:11):
got there. Well, we have once again hit the top
of the hour. Though, Is there any other quick weird
news anybody needs to get in before we sign off
for the night.
Speaker 4 (54:24):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
All right, well, then we will go ahead and sign
off from Strange Talk. Good night.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
