through a couple of things. One, we are still selling tickets for our live show. May 26th in Austin, Texas at the parish. We are completely sold out of VIP tickets and we're down to the last batch of general admission tickets. So if you plan on coming or making the trip or even live in the area, the tickets are 25 bucks. We're going to have a hilarious show for you guys all night.

The beer will be involved, pizza will be involved and I promise you I will make Jesse walk off the stage in anger. It's a special trait of mine. I'm very proud of it. Two, today's a Minnesota compilation because one, it was my birthday this weekend and two, the day after my birthday, I felt sick. So instead of being able to record, I want to get the episode super out late and rather get you guys at least something on time and then we'll go ahead and do the regular episode

next week. Thank you guys for understanding. I appreciate it. Matt, this is in his late thirties now and he's not a fan, but hey, we're moving forward. Thank you guys so much for supporting us again. ShilluminatiPod.com for those tickets and I can't wait to see you at the show. Hello, my little chilluminati. Welcome.

Hey. 62. 62. It's you ever closer. We are that 69 baby. Can I tell you, I already have my 69 story. Oh, do you? That's exciting.

I found it while looking for a story for today. I was like, ah, well, I have to save this. I can't break out this little tidbit. Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready. All right. I got two little news stories today. One is historical.

One might be the bean boy at work. Two? Yeah. Two. Very short. Very short, too. Okay. What the hell?

I mean, shake it up. Whoa. Here we go. First one. Hey, a Salem witch may actually receive a pardon three centuries after being condemned. Thank God for that. A woman who was condemned in the infamous Salem witch trials may soon receive a long overdue pardon.

According to the work of a Massachusetts middle school class way to go middle school, Elizabeth Johnson, Jr. was reportedly among nearly 175 people who were swept up in the notorious case of mass hysteria. Goody proctor. I don't know what that's a reference to. Oh, Mathis. Oh, my God. How do you not know that's what that's a reference to?

I don't know. What is it? Tell me. It's the crucible, Mathis. I've never seen the crucible. Read the crucible. I've never read the crucible. I guess you could.

I guess you could. I guess you could have seen. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I know that name. I know that name. Okay. Abigail.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Fuck. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. A convicted of practicing witchcraft in 1693, she had been sentenced to death but managed to avoid execution when then Massachusetts governor, William Phipps, granted her a reprieve shortly thereafter as cooler heads had prevailed among officials in the state and they realized

the injustices were unfolding in Salem. Although she subsequently passed away in 1747, Johnson's conviction has remained on the proverbial books ever since her trial. So this wasn't someone burned at the stake. This is just someone they were like, all right, we just need to make sure this. So meanwhile, all the other people, definite witches, all right, 74 people, fuck her. We won't part of them because, you know, that would be awkward. She got to do what they can only when there's a lot of evidence against it.

You know what I mean? Sure. All right. Because witches, you know, they're real. Right. Black piece of news. It sounds like the big, the Boston baked bean boys on a complete rampage over in the UK. Yeah.

I don't know where all my nugs are going, man. It's crazy. They just disappear up in smoke. Just like that. Well, it's residents of a village in England are irritated by the anxious of a mischievous vandal who has been dumping baked beans on doorsteps and on vehicles. Oh, no. Crime spree has reportedly been unfolding in the small community of Wannerish, which

boasts a population of just 3,000 people. Taking to social media last week, police informed residents that they had received several reports of incidents wherein, quote, beans and other food had been poured onto residents front doors and cars overnight. In the post, the police department included a pair of photos from such to such cases, one in which the roof of the car had been covered in beans and another featuring four empty cans sitting near the doorstep of a home that has also been doused with beans. They found no fingerprints, no only tiny little marks, a very small creature had been holding

those cans. He's just going to. He's going to hold this town hostage until they legalize the Nugget. Although, although I do have questions about the big bean boy because then are you saying that if the big bean boy was an analog for a person, it would be like a human being dumping other human beings on cars and doorsteps is what you say. I know a lot of human beings who've gone down for dumping human beings on cars and doorsteps. They were just a lot smaller than you thought they were.

They'd be like a human dumping human corpses on somebody's doorstep. You know what this means? That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Not live humans though. You know what this means? Maybe the bean boy has gone straight.

He's not doing the weed thing. He's doing the bean thing. No. This is weed inspired. Let's be real. He's going through withdrawals out there. He knows that UK weed is weak. Yeah, man.

They mix it with tobacco and the bean boy's he keeps it very pure. All I'm saying is. Yeah. He doesn't. He's not into that shit. He got to the UK and they were like, oh, we don't smoke here. We do blow. And he's like, what?

What's the matter with you? I'm going to beam you up now. Why are you guys like this? And they're like, we love cocaine. And he's like, no. That's so wack. And they're like, what are you going to do? And he's like, pot man.

And they were like, that's not a drug. Yeah. It's not even a drug. We go to Ibiza and take pills called face murder. Yeah. Sorry. Do you get high off emojis? What is it?

What is weed? I eat the poop emoji and my eyes turn rainbow like Mowgli from the from the GIF of Mowgli. Yeah. And so he's setting them straight. He's over there for America. It's like a Boston tea party all over again. Yeah. Those beans doorsteps for America.

And you kind of have to be on pot to like get his message to, you know what I mean? You're going to have to be like, yeah, man. Hell yeah. Fuck that guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Hell yeah, fuck that guy. Right, man. Yeah. He's made of beans though. If you're the bad, if you're the bad bean boy out there, throw us an email, let us know

the bad bean boy. The bad bean boy. That's like the reverse flash. Yeah. It's like wario. Oh my God. Then we just come up with the bean boy's nemesis. The bad bean boy.

He's a, he's a green bean who's never drank or smoked ever in his life. He's a green bean who's never drank or smoked ever in his life. He's super religious, he's super religious. And that's why he's using the corpses of baked beans, they're his immortal anime. He's repressed, he's sexually repressed. It's a holy war, it's a holy war against baked beans. He's a straight edge string bean. I hate that, I hate that.

I hate that guy. Boston Bean Boy, that guy rules. Oh god. Bad Bean Boy? I'm out, he's like the Ernie. No, he's like the Bert. He's like the Bert and Bean Boy. Oh geez, Bert.

Yeah. All right. That's my piece of news. What do you got? All right. So you guys probably heard about this. I think I shared you guys a link to this. This family was reported missing on Monday night.

They were hiking on a trail near Yosemite National Park. And it was a mother and father and their baby one year old daughter. And the dog were all found dead together on Tuesday this week in the Sierra Forest near the Merced River. They got reported missing on Monday night. Nobody knows what the hell because it's really weird because when they got them out of there, they treated the site as a hazmat site

because they had no idea what the hell it could be. They thought maybe it was a toxic algae bloom. They didn't know if there was like maybe like some like abandoned mine that just like shot some fucking, you know, carbon monoxide gas into their fucking lungs or straight out of their earth's like asshole or something. But they didn't find any of the right cat structure. Oh, right on the asshole.

They did find toxic algae in the Merced River and they told people not to swim or wait in it. And they were worried about that. Maybe rattlesnake bites, but that would be just crazy that like all of them died to rattlesnake. They got mopped by like a group of gang bang and rattlesnakes. Yeah, I don't know. There was no gunshot wounds, no blunt force trauma,

no physical marks, no suicide note. I think they're still waiting for a toxicology report as of a couple of days ago, but this is like the most recent story that I could find. And it's wild. Like they they're doing a necropsy on the dog and they're just trying to figure it out. And apparently there are very nice people.

I'm not going to like put their names here because I don't want anybody to get bothered. But it was on the Savage Lundy Trail, which has like wildflower bloom. So it's a really pretty trail. No cell service, which makes sense with what happens so that we don't know. But just a crazy sad story that really reminded me of

the missing 411 stories that we talked about a lot earlier in the show. And I just thought it was interesting because it just has the makings of a story that I'm going to hear a million times on like crack.com or something like that over years and years. We're definitely going to do more missing 411 one day. But it kind of also remind me of like a more quote unquote peaceful deal off pass.

And that like just like like potentially hazardous area. It's like people that die that nobody knows how they died. And but granted, there's no violent like missing lips and tongues and shit like in deal off pass. But still like I wonder if somebody told me that there was radiation coming out from the area. But that was also somebody random on Twitter. So I don't know how much that actually is true.

Yeah. Some people think there was some kind of test. Right. That went off. Yeah. There might have been some sort of test that killed them or something. I don't know, man.

It's wild. But yeah, the big theory is algae blooms. They all drank algae, but like that seems crazy. I guess like they all got to drink water, right? And if they all drank the same poison algae, maybe they all just died, you know, it could be that. But like, you know, who knows? I mean, just the other day, a seven year old kid.

Died of one of those brain eating amoebas. So you never know, you know, like it just could be something crazy in the water like that. But the idea that you could be walking through the fucking forest and then just like. I asked by like gas and you're just like, oh, and then you're done. Like that's like crazy to me.

So just just a wild thing to think about something I reported on this show just because there is this high mystery element to it. But also I hate that you have to pay for a good news news reporting and and all the bad reporting is free. I'm sorry, San Francisco Chronicle. I want to read more about this, but I cannot subscribe to every newspaper in the country.

Subscribing to every newspaper and having like a global news just don't go together. I'm sorry, folks. We need like a new we need like a newsflix. Yeah. You know, one one giant site. You need like a fast pass to all the news. You know how you can go to the like LA Zoo and Disneyland

and Nottsbury Farm all on one pass. If you do that for all the news sites. Yeah. It just feels like it's a bad thing to like restrict a lot of news at the same time. You know, websites don't restrict news of the crazy ones. Yeah. Those are free.

And so you can go check out what they say instead. And that's insane. I know it's bonkers. Thanks to stamps.com for sponsoring this episode.

Well, I hope we get to revisit the story like maybe in a week or two when we get some answers, maybe we'll figure out what happened. It is just a very bizarre, sad thing that happened. Yeah. It's just, it's, it's, it's a little bit tantalizing in that

morbid way that these types of things sometimes are. And so I figured I'd report it. All right, Jesse, what you got? Well, gentlemen, I'm here to poo on all of your dreams. Again, oh my gosh. By talking about dreams. So shit. We all know lucid dreaming, right?

The idea that you are fully aware or I guess partially aware and can partially control your dreams during sleep. And so a study was conducted using lucid dreams or people who lucid dream to research alien abductions. Because they wanted to see if they could, you know, people who say they lucid dream, if we give them triggers and clues and prompts on dreaming of alien encounters or UFOs or any of that stuff, what that would result in.

And the study, what they found was that a number of the sleepers reported dreams that resembled actual descriptions of alleged alien abductions. And so basically what they found out is that, you know, in society, 55% of people experience a lucid dream at some point in their lifetime. Yeah. And then 23% have them every of that 55%, 23% have them

every month. And so those were the people they were targeting. We're like, let's get those people who claim to have a ton of lucid dreams, get them in here. And so this was a study done in 2016. They're reporting on it now. It's from the consciousness and cognition journal. And they analyzed five decades worth of sleep research and all

this different stuff. Anyway, what they did is they got people together in a private facility and they just like conducted experiments on 152 adults who self-identified as lucid dreamers, instructing them to find or summon aliens or UFOs during a lucid dream. And on July 2nd in the International Journal of Dream Research, they reported their findings and they said that 114 of the participants reported dreaming about having some type

of successful interaction with an extraterrestrial. Of those, 61% described meaning aliens that resembled extraterrestrials from science fiction novels and films, while 19% meant aliens that looked like ordinary people. And then they, you know, talked about how one person saw a little blue man and one person saw like big bulging eyes. And they were like everything that you have that's in your life kind of like adds to the illusion of what this is.

And so they were talking about how, you know, alien encounters took place in 26% of the dreams and 12% so they spoke to the aliens and 28% said UFOs were present and 10% said they like saw the UFOs and could describe the inside. And they basically were saying like of all of the people that have sleep paralysis, based on all the previous studies, all this information, the idea of sleep paralysis and having lucid dreaming and having all these different things, it adds

to the illusion that people were saying having sleep paralysis, having intense fear, having these dreams that you are awake in, because dreams are trippy as hell, your body feels like, oh my God, this is scary, like this is terrifying. And so a lot of this research is like, oh, well maybe what people see as aliens is just, you know, a really terrifying, you are awake and conscious for a dream. And so, you know, they said feelings of paralysis, fear,

helplessness, vivid dreams, they're really powerful and statistically and scientifically it blurs the line between dreams and reality. So people may have been dreaming when they thought that they were being abducted by aliens. And so, you know, this is one of those things where obviously people are going to be like, well, what if 1% were real aliens? And so there's no way that this is like, well, I've convinced

you, but they're saying, you know, it makes perfect sense that a lot of people would have very similar alien abduction stories because it's most likely media influenced them in a way that made them see it as it was very similar to how these scientists got the lucid dreamers to see aliens by prompting them to see aliens. I can definitely see them like the people who, you know, experience abductions when they wake up in their bed, but they can't move and these things are coming through the window and

bright lights. I can 100% see that being lucid dream mixed with sleep paralysis. It makes a lot of sense. It certainly makes some sense. You know, you hear from people who are in with alien abductions who are like, also, well, that's how they contact you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, there's a bunch of people who believe that. Yeah. You know, agreed. I'm with you.

I maybe surprisingly, I agree with you. I think for, like I said, there's a lot of logical explanations to it. It's just the stuff that like Eddie and Barney Hills is stuff that has me hooked. Like maybe though, maybe. It's just like the ghost. It's just like the ghost thing, right? Yeah, like the the brown note kind of ghost explanation of like

it just being like a thing that. Oh, fucks with you. And then you just do all the work yourself, you know, it's just, it's rough. It's, it's, you know, I don't know. It's one of those types of truths that's just like the fun suck in truth. Yeah, but it doesn't, you know, just for the sake of being the guy who's poo pooing on all your stuff, but also being like, hey,

but wait, there's hope. It doesn't explain UFOs. It doesn't explain why things exist, that we can't explain. Doesn't even mention that. It's just saying like, maybe a lot of the alien abduction stories are just people going through a traumatic experience and their brain just registering it in a different way. You can see like the news of UFOs leaking into somebody's dream

and causing them to have an experience. They then believe is true when it's just a, you know, a dream. Absolutely. There should be like a term for like UFO people who are like not coming at it from a point of like the repeated personal abductions that they've had. That should be, there should be a distinguish. There should be a distinguishing sort of like term between those

two things so that you can find one or the other more easily. Not to speculate on the value of either. I just feel like there's such a big part of the alien mythos that's like sleep paralysis, dreams like weird stuff like that, that I would love to just set it aside and like you look at it as its own thing and then look at physical evidence in another way. I think it's a fascinating course of study because it's like, hey, the dream, like people can control a dream.

I feel like that's incredible and it just shows you the power of like the human mind and your place within your own body and your own like psychology and shit. I think that's a fascinating course of study just on its own and you don't need aliens like, you know, that starts to go into the what is real vibe of like if you can exist in your mind in a state that is like out of reality, then what's real man? Exactly.

We played Ghost of Tsushima on PS5. I'm playing through it right now. That shit's real. That's not fake. That's my life. I'm not. That's me now. Does that mean I was at Miles Morales and Spider-Man?

If you feel like you were, then you were. Yeah, if you were flying through the streets, then hell yeah. Hell yeah. I love that idea. I love that idea. Well, that's it for us here on this mini-soad, mini-soad 62. We'll be back next week with mini-soad 63. Love that's how it works.

Yeah. That is how numbers. A march of progress. Speaking of numbers, patreon.com. If you're listening to this in the future on YouTube, the 69 episode is already out and you can pay money right now and go listen to it this moment at patreon.com. Slash the money pod.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Thanks to Felix Gray for sponsoring this episode and you've heard me say it a million times before, but for you, you pretty little person, you cute person with adorable ear holes, I'm going to tell you again. I love my Felix Gray. We've been working with these guys now for almost an entire year and I use my Felix Gray every single day.

And just like every single time I'm in the computer, just like right now, I'm wearing them because blue light is tough on your eyes, can cause eye strain, headaches and be disruptive to sleep. And I don't want to worry about that when I'm working at my computer. And Felix Gray does set out to create eyewear that would improve daily screen time with lenses that filter 15 times more blue light and it's very simple how they do it. Lots of other glasses put that blue light filter right on the lens, but Felix Gray has it as part of the lens right from creation.

Popular devices are a major source of blue light, phones, tablets, computers, TV, Kindles and other devices. You can't get through your day without looking at them. And you might be feeling some of these symptoms like headaches or maybe even just blurry vision, dry, tired eyes or just trouble sleeping. Whatever the symptoms are that you have or had, they could help and be alleviated by wearing Felix Gray glasses. What pair of Felix Gray glasses do you want to wear?

I'm not going to jail for you. Right side, left side, right side. JoeMiniepisode63. How's it going, boys? Good episode. Thanks for bringing up that main episode, Nick. I had a good time with you. Yeah, no, that's one of those cases that kind of sticks with you.

It's a great surprise. You don't forget it. It is a great one. I got a great surprise for you today. We all got something. Nick's got a fan story, but I'm going to start very small as I tend to. This comes from coast to coast AM. I hear about you.

What? Damn. Wait, what? How did I insult myself and forgot what I said? No, dude, just keep going. Oh, no. Oh, no. That's all great.

Okay. Another pair of mysterious cattle mutilation cases have been reported in Oregon. Nice. More aliens are here, dude. Ranchers in Oregon are once again being advised to keep a close eye on their cattle following a pair of peculiar instances, Path Month, wherein bulls were found mysteriously mutilated. The two separate cases are the latest in what has been a series of strange slayings in the state over the last few years.

According to the local media report, the most recent downed animal was discovered on August 14th on a ranch in Oregon's Wheeler County. Believed to have been killed around three days earlier, the Black Angus Bull was missing its nose, tongue, reproductive organs, ear, eye, and left cheek as well as, as well as part of the animal. Chillingly, those pierces of the poor creature were said to have been removed by way of curiously clean cows. They love to mutilate cows.

Listen, you know, here's a theory. It could be the reptilians needing to eat that delicious meat off of the cows and only like the dickenballs. I've said this before. I, for one, welcome all reptilian overlords. I feel like they've been here first and I side with the native peoples of the planet Earth. Sorry. Space.

What are we? Water. Water apes. What the hell are we? Water. The moist apes. Yeah. Whatever apes.

So Freddie, what's his name? Eddie Redmayne. He's coming back to harvest us soon. Great. Great. I'm excited. I signed with, even though he looks down on me and he's like, you are nothing. Oh, my genuinenauts.

Is this a Jupiter ascending? Oh, it is. This is Jupiter ascending. I haven't seen it yet. Fan podcast actually. I haven't either actually worked together. At least I've worked on that one. No, apparently you don't watch movies at all, Mike.

I don't. I don't. I haven't even seen. Rocket roller blades. Bye, haters. I likely haven't seen it. Name a movie that you think I need like is a necessary watch for all people. Holy crap.

You need to watch the movie. I've never seen a movie like this. A dragon man shows up at one point. It's essential. I've never seen it. It's essential. Never. There's a dragon man.

I've never seen shopping. It's literally a DD campaign. It's like someone just. We got to continue though, because unfortunately here, Jesse, the bull was found more than 24 hours after its death. So authorities were unable to perform a necropsy on the animal. Convenient. It's just a bummer, which was valued at a whopping $4,500 to potentially glean more

information on how it was killed. Were they like suspiciously steak shaped cuts? Like, do you think maybe somebody was just taken a couple steps like 16 ribeye is missing from this? I don't know what's going on. Very, very well cut. Honestly. Yeah.

Partly almost with like an actual tool. Yeah. Ranch owner Tanner Brown wrote Ranch owner Tanner Brown, who counted the creature among a 600 cattle was understandably bewildered by the eerie turn of events using that it's kind of a strange thing and acknowledging that was the only quote they have of him and acknowledging that he was not alone. That was a strange thing. Real humdinger, that one.

I'm slowly turning Texan the longer I live here and acknowledging that he was not alone and having experienced the unsettling phenomena to that end, Brown's downed animal came on the heels of another incident in nearby Harnie County, in which another bull was killed under similar. I had to say Harnie County. That's my county. One letter. It's a one letter change.

Let's just change it right now. Harnie County. I'm in a Harnie County. Anyway, that's a bull died in late July. Harnie County. And yeah, Oregon has been a particularly hit hard lately by the cattle mutilation phenomenon in recent years with five cases occurring in Wheeler County, another five reported in Harnie County and three cases in Crook County, which made news back in March.

Do you think these are extraterrestrial or chupacabra in an origin? Oh, I'm going to go E.T.s, 100 percent. OK, all right. Yeah, they need that. They need the sexual organs because it's Oregon. What do they need them for? You know, they're vegans. Listen, big foot wouldn't big foot wouldn't scoop the sex organs.

You would just have sex with big foot. Aliens are scooping the sex organs from the cows because they need to create some sort of bioengineered womb for the sort of hybrid the hybrid human aliens that they're using. So they really want to replicate cows because they make the best meat. That's maybe also true. I mean, that's that's definitely off the market. We already know who his wife is. That's right.

I forgot. We did. We did that true story on the 69 episode. Yeah. And apparently one of her fans knows her or knows of somebody that knows her. Let's get her on the show. Yeah. You know what?

You think she's saying I want to hear this? Oh, yeah. There's a woman. Go ahead, Alex. What's the give the story? She she was like a weed grower like person and she was like hoping that she could stop selling weed because her boyfriend is big foot and he was about to go public and, you know, it's just, you know, she she she she was living in a house and she was getting

worried that maybe she wasn't going to be able to live her life the way she wants now that she's going to move in with big foot in his like, you know, cave or wherever he lives. And right. Yeah. It's just that that that type of thing. OK. Cool.

Well, that's my story. So whoever wants to go next can go next. Nick, if you want to read the fan story, you can start shipping the whole thing. You got to read the whole entire thing. It's so long. My reading skills. I have a sore throat. Oh, you want me to read it for you?

Well, I can interject. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of big words in here. I didn't know you had a sore throat. I wouldn't know. You couldn't hear it. I just thought that was your your new your new smokers, boys. What's going on?

I'm reading the story for Nick and Nick interject. I mean, they get to pat myself on the back. First off, I've been a casual listener of the podcast for several months and was just listening to the Greenstone episodes, hearing the stories about the Rosa Crucians reminded me of several experiences I had with a local Rosa Crucian branch, not too far from where I grew up. It's not the craziest series of events, but I hope you enjoy it. I want to grab this because it does tie in like a bank, like like a Russian branch.

Yeah. Like a whole branch for bank that where the Rosa Crucians bank their money. I'm trying to remember Mormons or like ranch Davidians or like a Rosa Crucians are like some old school secret society rumored. But like really, it's just like an allegory that people use. People swear that the Rosa Crucians are real. And since then, there's kind of been like organizations that are sort of like claimed it because people kind of got into the idea like how people got into being

Bohemians for a while. Right. The same thing. And so then after that, there's real Rosa Crucians now. Gotcha. Continuing the story, I'm trying to remember the events as best I can. It's been over a decade since this happened and I haven't even thought about it in years. These events happened between 08 and 2010 when I was in high school.

I grew up around Monroe County in Northeast Pennsylvania, which has enough weirdness in and of itself. My elderly neighbor swore on God that he had seen a Thunderbird, for example, which is I hope that's true. See a Harry Potter movie. A friend of mine lived not too far from Lake Naka Mixon, a large lake reservoir in the area. Being in high school, we would bike down to the lake to smoke or drink all the things we wanted to do away from our parents.

One day after hanging out at the lake, we decided to take the adventurous route back to my friend's house. We took a different turn and started down a winding woodland road. We we take another turn and quickly notice a strange property along the road. There was a large, well kept garden with several large stone pyramids in various sizes. Up the road in a bit more up the road, a bit more was a large colonial house, which looked like some sort of community center. It piqued our interest to say the least.

So when we got back to my friend's house, we started make it plans to go back. Quick note, I looked into the property again while writing this and was surprised to find it on Google Maps. I won't link it directly. Not sure of the subreddit rules, but search Church of Illumination and you'll find it if you want a visual reference. So look up church. We have to do that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, no one would know. Oh, no. All right. Well, here we are. Oh, no. Hang on. Yeah, Quaker. Oh, that hundred percent. Just like just docks is them right. They want you to find them. They want to find us. It's got four point one stars on Google reviews.

We should go check it out and join the Rosicrucians. This looks like an assassin's creed. Like, yes, DLC one hundred percent. A couple of weeks after first discovering the property, my friend and I, along with two other friends, biked back out to the property. We parked our bike down at the far end of the property near an intersection. It was dusk, so we had some daylight and it was fading fast.

Fast. We walked up the garden and started looking around. There were three pyramids in the garden, one about three feet high, another about six feet and the largest anywhere between 10 and 12 feet high. We carefully poked around watching for other people because, yes, we were trespassing at the time, but teenage curiosity set us on. We came to the largest pyramid, which was hollow on the inside. It was a graded metal door like old time prison cell door, which was locked, blocking the entrance to the pyramid.

The inside wasn't very large anyways. And on the far side of the interior wall, we could see multiple plaques with names writing in Latin, I think. And many different symbols centered in front of the door was a large circular metal plate like a manhole cover and covered in different symbols and more Latin writing. After looking around a bit and more, looking around a bit more, not finding anything else of interest, we left.

After returning to my friend's house, we started researching the property and the symbols. That's when we discovered that it was associated with the Rosicrucians. From what we could piece together, it seemed that the circular plaque and the ones inside the pyramid were used for summoning air spirits and other rituals. After our first endeavor to what we now knew was a Rosicrucian compound, my friend and I, along with another friend who was not on the first trip,

set out for a second visit. This time we went at night biking for a small stretch and then walking our bikes the rest of the way. We set our bikes down near the edge of the property where we had where we had the first time and started walking to the garden. We poked around for a few minutes and as soon as we walked up to the and as soon as we did, we walked up to the large pyramid.

We started hearing dogs barking on the other side. It sounded like they were on the other side of the building, but quickly getting closer. We run out of out to the road and follow it back to our bikes. We can hear the dogs getting closer and closer, hoping that there was an electric fence or they were trained so they wouldn't give trace on the street. We grab our bikes and we turn to leave.

I'd look back at the garden, see several dark shapes. The two smaller shapes were pretty obviously the dogs, also evident from the barking coming from that direction. I saw two other shapes. However, just catching a glimpses between the trees and bushes. But they looked like people moving through the garden toward us. We got out of there fast. And that was the last time I set foot on that property.

That's fucking creepy, dude. Yeah, that would scare the hell out of me. Hello. It actually reminds me of like when I was growing up. There is this place. I've never seen it before. I'd only heard stories from my friends, but they were called the purple people.

It was in Pleasant Hill, California, either. Yeah. And it was a commune. That's all we knew about it as a commune. And then if you got too close to their property, they would come out with paintball guns and shoot your car or shoot you. Were they purple? Because they were so like just like their own little like, you know, like their community.

But then one time my friend broke up with his girlfriend and he was like just really emotional about it. And he walked barefoot and just happened to be like at their property. And apparently he walked right up and bummed a cigarette from one of them. And he talked to him for a bit. But then he was also one of those people who was like, yeah, dude, don't drive by their house. They're going to fucking paintball you.

But like apparently was able to like, you know, talk to them. And it was it was weird. But yeah, they're just kind of like a similar vibe. They existed. They were real. Yeah. That's definitely similar vibes to this. They continue now, before I get too much hate, I fully acknowledged that I was young and stupid and trespassing. Of course, they had the right to be protective of their property.

I'm not claiming to be in the right here. But it's just what happened at the time. And I and I know better now to be transparent about this. I was not a firsthand witness to this event. And I still don't know what to believe about it. So that's that's about a year went by since I had last been to the Rosicrucian property and the events above weren't much in memory at the time this happened.

My older brother and I sent were sent to a Christian summer camp, which was hosted by the by the church. My friend mentioned above and attended. He had an older brother as well, who was friends with my older brother. The camp was held at a Boy Scouts Camp called Oka Oka Hickon. I think that's how you pronounce it. OK, A H I C K O N. Not too far from Lake Nakamixin.

One night, our older brothers, along with a couple other guys at the camp, went out for a walk around the pond. I was in a cabin at the time and didn't even know about their trip until I heard a commotion outside. I looked out to see the group sprinting back toward the cabins from the pond where they stopped and talked and hushed tones for a bit before going over to the counselor's cabin. A few minutes later, I see the counselor with the group

and tell start walking down towards the pond and return a little while later. I asked my brother in the morning what had happened. And he told me that they were walking around the pond when they saw a giant green flash of light in the sky. It was brighter towards the ground and radiated outward like a rainbow, but only for a second. They told the counselor and he took them back there, but nothing else happened. So they came back.

I confirmed with my friend later that his older brother told him the same story. A week or so after the camp ended, my brother and I were at my friend's house and the green light came up again. My brother and his brother both stood by what stood by what they saw. We had the idea to look on Google Maps to see if we could find anything it could have been. You see where this is going from the point. From that point on, they said that they were at along from the point they said they were at along the pond and the direction they claimed

to have seen the light from formed a straight line through the Rosicrucian property. What could have happened there? I don't think I'm qualified to speculate on. Even I take this with a grain of salt, since the older brothers did know about the Rosicrucian property as well, and I did not see the flash itself. Nonetheless, for a long time afterwards, they stood by what they claim that they saw the light. So either it's some sort of long running prank or they really did see something.

I honestly don't know. The last bit is my final experience with the local Rosicrucians, which is about another year after the summer. Holy crap, it's a little paragraph and it's done. I had my license by this point was leaving my friend's house. It was sometime in the afternoon and I decided to drive by the Rosicrucian property just out of curiosity, since I hadn't been here in a long time. I drove down the road and as I approached, I saw about a dozen men working out

in the garden. It was nothing out of the ordinary, just standard landscaping and shrubbery keeping. However, as I got closer in a way that almost seemed rehearsed, the men stopped working all at once and turned to face me, staring me down as I drove by. I was freaked out at this point and sped up. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw them still continuing to watch me as I drove away. After that, I haven't been back since. I've had plenty of experience with weird backwards Pennsylvanians, but that was a different experience that has stuck with me ever since.

That's the end of it. Done. Oh, man. And some deep, deep interactions with the Rosicrucian, supposedly. So the Rosicrucians are a real thing. Yeah, there's I mean, there's many people that claim to be the Rosicrucians also. Sure. There's various people that that are really the Rosicrucians, which is very strange.

Hmm. All right. Well, take it away, Alex or Jesse. Well, I got this little story from about a month ago in New Orleans. Actually, the the paper is from New Orleans. Oh, wait, what? Wait, what? This is not right. I'm getting that. It's gone. Was it? Now you can. No, it's the Rosicrucians, you know, it was just it was just giving me

like a different story than the one that I was reading when I changed it to like reading mode. It's not has nothing to do with New Orleans. This is in California in coarse gold. There is a family that says they are experiencing a they had they had a ghost. Experience where they were going up to shut I P to drive their four wheeler around July 26th, 2021, and they stopped to eat lunch. And that's when Jake Gorba and his wife, Victoria, noticed that their son, Caden was talking to someone and the quote is he was just in our car

and he was pointing out to a certain spot in the meadow. And then the quote from the kid, he said, yeah, there's a lady over in the meadow in a black shirt. He said she needs our help, but she's dead and she's lying face down with her legs up and she can't talk to me, but she's over there. We need to go help her. And he was like, trust me, mom, trust me. And it got so crazy that they actually like.

We're like, you know what? We're going to go home for the rest of the day. They posted on Facebook to see if anybody would like say anything like, hey, do you know anybody who maybe disappeared in this area? Who's like, could be like still missing there because we had this crazy thing with our son. And turns out in 2020, like a year before in June, there's a woman called Sandra Hughes who went missing in that area.

And her son's description perfectly matches this woman's look. And he said she had blue hair even, which is like, you know, a pretty weird detail to like be true in this case. And the actual Madera County sheriff contacted them based on the post and they went to go look around. They couldn't find anything, but it's just spooky to me because the kid actually described this lady pretty well. And she did disappear in the area.

And it was only a year ago. So, you know, I don't know. Something something to think about is a neat little story. So need a little kind of spooky ghost story. And I always get creeped out when kids talk about, you know, like a ghost thing like that, where they like are like seeing something that adults can't see. So, you know, fun little fun little story to think about.

I don't know. Kids have overactive imaginations. We have you on more often. This is great. It's the same thing with like videos of like cats or dogs staring at empty spaces. And they're like, there's a ghost who's like, no, it's your fucking cat being a cat. Do they do weird shit all the time? It's just I just it's crazy that she's like a lady with blue hair. And I know the script or that part of it, I think is is fascinating.

But yeah, when it comes to like ghost stories where it's like a kid or a baby in a crib is staring off into the middle distance. And then they're like, he's seeing something we can't see. It's like, no, he's a baby. It's just creepy when a kid turns to you and they're like words. Like his brain is barely functioning. It's just wild when a kid's like the dark man in the corner says that he'll let me free if I bring him your things. You're like, oh, shut up.

That's simple. You just throw that kid in an orphanage. Yeah, that's a lot of good life. Toss him. Toss him in. Fight it off. Yes, a charity tax right off. Jesse, what do you got? Wrap us up with something the scariest story. Oh, no. Taxes you've ever heard.

Oh, and it didn't happen in Pueblo, Colorado. Reports were filed by police of a bean shaped boy. I wish a baffling series of events occurred at three in the morning. The witches had a local McDonald's. Oh, shit. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It's a little close to home. How, Jesse, be careful.

And emergency services were called based on. Demonic sounds. Demonic sounds at a McDonald's and not not coming from the bathroom. No, in fact, they were coming from outside. Employees were busy doing, you know, the normal closing up stuff that you do. And they were going around taking out trash, dumping grease, whatever. And they heard noises.

And the noises they reportedly heard were a strange language, terrifying barking and an unidentified screaming woman. Oh, God, is it was just like a local crack head bumbling through the incident shook the employees so much because they saw nothing. All they heard, but it was like around them. It wasn't like, you know, in the distance, it was around them in the parking lot.

They heard nothing. They saw nothing. They heard this noise. So they decided to the best thing. All go back inside and refuse to leave till morning. Oh, wow. They called the police and the police actually tweeted about this. Tom Rumble from the Pueblo Police Department tweeted at three thirty this morning, officers responded to business in the area of Pueblo

Boulevard and Northern employees reported hearing a woman screaming and making demonic sounds to include speaking in a strange tongue and barking. They were so unnerved about the sounds that they said they wouldn't go back outside until the sun came up. Three officers searched the area, couldn't come up with a source for the disturbance. Many media users, I think the sun's going to stop a demon, dude. Come on, many social media users. And it must be La Llorona, a popular American folklore,

whaling ghosts. Did you guys know there was a movie about that? You guys, did you guys have like 50 of them? Oh, however, the police and the employees have still not found the mysterious demon. Well, you can't arrest a demon. The case remains unsolved. What do you think the demon like? This just sounds like an excuse for a bunch of cops

to hang out and have big flurries all night, honestly. I'd like to imagine the demon possessed a human just to have some McDonald's fries and they were cold and it got pissed. So yeah, ruin their night. You don't need to be a demon to get there. It's got a couple of bucks. Yeah. No, that's it for us on this chill mini.

Hello, my little chaluminauts.

Oh, even worse. And the audio peaks on that one are weird looking. Yeah, no, that's because it was weird. That's because it was weird. Welcome, welcome to the chill mini episode mini 64, like the Nintendo 64. Sounds like a thing that would sell two million copies for Christmas. I would buy one. I would buy one 100 percent.

We've got some good stuff. I know, man, you know, compared to what Alex and Jesse have brought, I feel like mine's just not going to match in terms of its great content, mostly because we finally have undisputable proof that ancient aliens did, in fact, live on Mars, everybody. I don't know if you know this. I'm going to link you the picture. Yeah, I'll link you the picture.

Yeah, I'll get I'll bite. Here I am, but thank you for inviting us to go and zoom, going and zoom. I feel like if we actually had this, you would be a lot more. Well, you know, I just, you know, I just it's hard to to. Is this really what it is? Is this really the picture? Yes, that's actually the picture. That's it looks like an alien statue head has been spotted on Mars, everybody.

Jesse, I want to take a look at that picture. If you told me it was an ancient Martian sculpture of a turtle inside its shell, I would believe you. Well, you have a researcher bottom of the barrel. One man. This is like I love their news articles. And I love them so much. I love Coast to Coast. I am news articles.

They had to circle it to know to let you know which of the rocks. Yeah, it was different from the other rocks around it. Holy fucking shit. I just can't believe this became an article as of two days ago. I'm going to let you know, Scott Warring, not a great ufologist. This visage looks far from being human. I'll say I'll say Scott Warring. If you don't know who he is.

This visage is there's like not even at least the face on Mars. At least you could be like, oh, I see the face. This is just a rock, y'all. It's like a rock on the ground from like the side from like 75 feet away. It looks like this is a math. This is why I don't believe any of the things. This is embarrassing. Listen, I want any of these things.

It's really bad, but these are the people that make it real hard for us to like actually make progress. It's embarrassing. Scott Warring is a known apparently anomaly hunter who studies NASA images from Mars and believes and looks for like anomalies that can't be possibly created by humanity. And this is what he found. This picture comes from the Perseverance Rover.

In one of the photos, the eagle eyed investigator noticed a peculiar rock, which he contends is actually evidence for an ancient extraterrestrial race that once lived on Mars. The anomalous object appears to be the side profile debatable of a face complete with eyes, nose, mouth and lips. Now, now do you see it though? I actually do see what he's saying, but it is what are you talking about? I literally do not see.

OK, OK, the bottom right of the rock at the bottom right, where the two like the two humps is like the lips. I'm trying. OK, I wish I could like show you what I'm looking at. OK, I see. And then the nose is right above it. And then the two eyes are right there. It's like it's like a three quarters view of like a sphinxie looking. You know, it's like looking off and up into the sky in a weird way. Yeah, that's that's peridelia. That's. Yeah, yeah, it absolutely is.

However, the anomaly hunter dismissed the notion that his discovery is merely a trick of light and shadow, positing that he is 100 percent correct in his analysis and that, as such, the weird rock constitutes, quote, undeniable proof that ancient aliens did once exist on Mars. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. If I handed you a piece of sushi, I don't you like sushi. I do like sushi. OK. If I handed you a piece of sushi. Yeah.

And I was like, please enjoy this delicious sushi. And then you took it and you're about to eat it. And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I promise that sushi is 100 percent not poisoned. Like, yeah, we should be like, we should be like what is it under the under the under the assumption that I don't know who you are specifically? Yeah. OK. But I mean, you know, you're just like. Like, why do you need to say he's 100 percent correct?

A hundred. I'm with you. I wouldn't eat the sushi. I put the sushi down on the plate. Say thanks. I'll eat it when I get hungry. Yeah. By the way, it's 100 percent safe to eat. Just 100 percent clean of poison. Yeah. Not poison. This is really sushi, by the way. Just wanted to say that. So if you want to go look at it, I mean, like you said,

you can see the face, but it is merely. Yes. It's a trick of the light in the shadows, the shadows. Because the way the sun is hitting, you can see where the shadows are. It's five times worse than the famous one. To form the eyes, quote, unquote, five to six times worse than the famous one. It's just by a lot more, by a lot more. But hey, maybe maybe he's, you know, there's a zero point zero, zero, zero, one percent chance that he might be right.

That's life. That's what all people say. Face on Mars in April. I'm going to show this off to you because I know what's coming next. Yeah. OK, I see. Take it away. What did you bring us? So this one is kind of a fun story

that also goes to show you know what internet resources you're viewing when you look for information on the internet, because I think it's really fun to see the way this one story has been told multiple times. So the setup is that one day out of the blue, a dead man returns to life. His name is depending on which article you go to,

it's either Rilo Constantine or Constantine Rilo either way. This guy, he just like shows up in Romania having been dead for 20. Well, I love this potentially for 25 years. He has been missing. And in 2013, he was declared dead and he just shows up and he's like, hey, I'm alive. And everyone's like, what the hell?

So the Romanian government, you know, put him through all these tests, asked him about his hometown, asked him about all this different stuff. And he's like, yeah, no, it's it's me. And they're all blown away that it is definitely him. And he is currently stuck in a weird. He is legally dead, but actually alive. He can make no income because he's dead. And he was wearing his his clothes again,

like that he was wearing when he left. Yes, he was he was he was wearing like he he is 60 some years old. And he just like returned home. People, you know, some of the articles were like, oh, you know, this guy, maybe he forgot who he was. Maybe all these different things. Well, I went to the New York Times and they have a giant article about this dude. And it is so much sadder than you think.

So basically in the 90s, this guy left home to work for his family. And so he took a job in Turkey. And he worked as a chef and like a contractor and all these different things or like, you know, like he built buildings. And he had like a little tiny home with his wife. And then I believe daughter and he did all this stuff. And then it turns out at some point he went home and he found out that his wife had been like drinking heavily and one night

like a dude showed up at his doorstep at midnight looking for his wife. And he decided like he he was done. His wife like, yeah, I guess his wife was like stepping out on him. And he was like, you know what, I'm over it. And he went back to Turkey and never returned. And he decided he was over it and he left. And so he spent his entire life there. And it wasn't.

And I guess the earthquake, the big earthquake that happened in Turkey. They assumed that because he never responded, that's what killed him. And so they just assumed that he was dead. And that he wouldn't ever come back. But really, he was just living a new life in Turkey. He just went to go get cigarettes. Yeah, and never came back. He was over it.

He says, according to a statement is he was like, yeah, I'm I was I was done with with everything that had happened. My family life was a mess. My relationship, my wife is terrible. And then he decided on what is this? This is death certificate was issued May 26, May 2016. The year of death listed is 2003. And then he was living in Istanbul and then authorities detained him

because he was working there illegally, right? He never had paperwork. And so he was told, hey, we're going to take you back to Romania. And when he landed at the airport, they were like, dude, you don't exist. You're dead, bro. And he was like, what? And so he's he sat around and they question about his hometown.

They asked him all the stuff and they finally released him. And yeah, he moved back. Like he went back to the apartment. He, his wife and his daughter shared. Apparently his wife moved to Italy and is with some other dude. His daughter was like, how dare you? She lives in Spain. His daughter was like, how dare you 25 years?

I have three kids now, you asshole insane. Like and and what about how did he still have his apartment? Great question, but it's the exact same apartment. And so he basically is like, look, I the photo on the New York Times page. All the other photos of him I've seen. He seems like, oh, it's like a fun, goofy story. The New York Times photo is him looking so sad and like a little small apartment. And you mean this pretty please?

Yeah, yeah. And basically. Um, the whole thing is like this dude, he says right here, I'm a living ghost. He said chain smoking cigarettes and occasionally pacing around the apartment. My daily routine has been waiting around, going to fix my mother's bandages, going to check on the tribunal to see if anything has changed. The legal staffs of the apartment is a mystery itself. Mr. Constantine paid for it. But his wife presumably took full ownership after he was declared dead.

Whether he regained co-ownership, if the death certificate were not unclear last month, the last month has been a challenge for him. The money he brought with him from Turkey is long gone. He's arrived on handouts from family members. He could not get to work without a valid ID. So basically this guy is living like just a terrible, terrible life right now. Is this the same guy for sure? Positive. Yeah.

Really? Yep. Dude, that is crazy. Yeah. So this dude is just, you know, he just looks like this article is from 2018. Yeah, which is, I mean, wow. So it just got viral on Reddit recently. Yeah, I'm looking at it now. Yeah. That's crazy. Wow. And this is insane.

That is insane. Yeah. And this guy is just trying to like live his life. But if here's the thing, I would imagine if it's viral now, has it still not been resolved? Yeah, I have no idea. I have no idea. I mean, I just read a million different takes on it on Reddit and stuff. I had no idea that there was a New York Times profile on the guy.

That's crazy. It's it's nothing. There's never butters. What? Oh, what's what's crazy is that the New York Times says at least at 2018, a Romanian court refused to overturn his death certificate. Why? I don't know. I don't know. That's insane.

The article says, Romanian court rejects man's claim that he is alive. But I can't look at it because it wants me to pay. Shout out to that problem. Yeah, that should be something that the government fixes. That's we need to be able to like get things for free besides like Alex Jones. Dot com. That's the problem is the news you can get for free is the news that's like and it was all conspiracy.

And then the news news is like pay us to see this. Yeah, we just want to know I would be happy to pay more taxes to get free news. Yeah, is that like philanthropists who are just like I own a newspaper and give it for free. They're capitalists now. It's capitalism. It's too crazy, man. They don't even put fast food bags in the real bags anymore. You know, the shit's falling apart. Is the chicken even chicken? You know what I'm saying?

It's why. But speaking of weird giant corporations that do mysterious things, I got one for you. I teased in the main episode this week that was something that I wanted to put in to the episode, but I looked into it and it was like pretty solved. So I decided not to. So basically, here's what happened is like a couple of years ago, there was an article in New York Times about glitter.

And in our glitter glitter. Yeah, OK, now I just want to make sure I didn't hear litter. No, yeah, no, glitter like the sparkly shit that gets everywhere. Yeah, I got you. Apparently, in the article, companies are very secretive about who they sell to. And there is an odd exchange. This is from a Reddit post by whooping willow. There's an odd exchange about the largest bar of glitter.

And then there's a quote from the New York Times article that goes, when I asked Ms. Dyer if she could tell me which industry served as Glitter X's biggest market, her answer was instant. No, I absolutely know that I can't. I was taken aback. But you know what it is? Oh, God, yes, she says and laughed. And you would never guess it.

Let's just leave it at that. I asked if she could tell me why she couldn't tell me. And she said, because they don't want anyone to know that it's glitter. If I looked at it, what I know wouldn't I wouldn't know it was glitter. No, not really. Would I be able to see the glitter? Oh, you'd be able to see something. But it's yeah, I can't.

What? Yeah. And so that's the quote. This this reddit post says they think it's in the food and beverage industry. In the New York Times article, the CEO of Glitter X who was named Mr. Shetty, which is a hilarious last name, Confidentiality is a top down requirement from clients. So it's just apparently it's like a industry standard of this stuff because I

guess like the relationships and stuff that it takes to like get these deals with glitter companies and stuff are like super coveted because it's pretty hard to make glitter like and the technology to make glitter is like super serious. Like like I was reading about somebody buying a glitter machine for like a hundred thousand dollars or something just to take it apart and see how it works and sell that information. Super weird industry, the glitter industry, endless things to read about. But yeah, there's another glitter company called Meadowbrook in the article.

They list some stuff. This person thinks that it has to do with food and yada, yada, yada. But the reason that I didn't put in the episode is because there was a podcast that came out recently that had to do with this. And they discovered basically for pretty much like they pretty much figured it out. Obviously, like I say, you can't can't know for sure because they're not allowed to say like they just can't confirm

it. But basically, it's a podcast called Endless Thread. They went down the rabbit hole of glitter and they found that they think what it is is it's boat paint. Huh. OK, weird. Yeah, that they just pour a shitload of glitter into the paint and then it like hardens and becomes like pieces of boats and that they think that if people found out that it was just like glitter that they would feel.

Unsafe, cheated or unsafe or something or or that it would jeopardize their relationship with the glitter company because the competitors might try and undercut them or something like that. But if you want, it's at WBWBUR.org on Endless Thread and it's from like the podcast came out in like November of 2019. Interesting. And Endless Thread drops a glitter bomb on the Great Glitter Mystery.

And like I said, nobody knows for sure where that glitter is going. But what a weird way to act about glitter. What a weird response to the government and they're making like nuclear glitter bombs. So I think I was thinking it was food, too. You know, I thought it was like, oh, like there's like some cookie or some kind of thing that has like sparkles and they just like fucking put glitter in your food. You know, I thought it was something like that. But who knows, it would be an actual that would be an actual like

if it's biodegradable, like who knows? You know what I mean? Like you can eat gold, right? Like, I don't know. It's probably not that bad for you. It's just probably weird. Like I wouldn't buy something that had glitter in it. If I knew it had glitter in it.

I guess I don't know that I would. I don't know that I would even buy soap that had glitter in it, because I think I would glitter, dude. Oh, God, I hate I hate glitter. It just gets everywhere. I did a deal with the evil geniuses, people for the sequel that came out and they sent me like a package and everything and had a fucking glitter bomb in it. So when you opened it, just fucking shock glitter everywhere.

And that shit took me weeks to get rid of forever because it was just stuck to everything that it touched. Guys, please buy Evil Geniuses, too. It's a fun game. Don't get me wrong. It's a super fun game, but that package sucked. Yeah, but yeah, that's what I got. The glitter look into the glitter mystery. You can listen to the podcast.

It's really interesting shit. That's really, really worth it. And God, I can't wait to come back next week because the first story I have is so mind blowing. It's just so good. Oh, don't tease. Don't tease. Can't wait. I can't wait. It's such a good. It's such a good set of little things.

I'm excited. I'm excited to see how we finish off this weird mysteries that little two-parter week are going on. Yeah. But until then, we'll be back next week with another chill mini as we inch our way up to chill mini number 69. Boys, it's getting close. So just be ready. It's going to happen in like how many

how many inches left for real? We're going to we have five weeks left. Five inches left. Much more. One, two, three, four. attainable. That's going to be on the 10th. So it's like that the weekend of the 10th. Chill mini 69.

Boy, it's like that sketch. It's like that sketch on I think you should leave. It's about like the horses that are hung like humans so that people don't get uncomfortable. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. All right. Come on. See you next week. All right. Bye, everybody.

Anyway, me and my wife were sitting outside indulging on our porch one night, enjoying ourselves. I needed to go to the bathroom, so I stepped back inside. And after a few moments, I hear my wife go, Holy shit, get out here. So I quickly dash back outside. She's looking up at the sky in the fall. I look up to and there's a perfect line of dozen lights
