Welcome to Minnesota 76, I believe. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. All right. I don't know what you guys are. I hope you're all doing well by the way, patrons. Thank you guys so much for supporting us. I got some fun stuff to talk about today.

I think I know it's always fun in light hearted and not dark at all. For this week. Very dark. Like dark side of the moon dark. No, just like usually I come with like some positivity. But today I went the exact opposite. Well, then let's quickly talk about something that's already kind of old news. I should buy now the moon cube.

Have you boys seen the moon cube? I didn't I didn't get the follow up on the moon cube, but is there a follow up? The follow up will be in two to three lunar days, a.k.a. two to three months when the when the when the rover gets closer. But the rover is going that way now to see like what this thing is. I can't wait. Yeah, I'm I was looking at the picture. If you if you guys go look at the moon cube picture listeners. It's interesting because they found you on the moon.

It's on the horizon. That's what we know so far. And the picture shows that in the center, like if you look at the center of the cube, there's a shadow which indicates that it's clearly not a perfect cube, whatever it is. It looks like an arch of some kind. Yeah. Yeah, there's some things like light is being casted and causing a shadow in the middle, which means it's just not a cube. But it's a pixel certainly make it look like a cube from a distance. I don't know what it is, but I'm excited to see what it is.

I don't know. What do you think it is? You think it's just like an asteroid pushed up some rock and just looks like a maybe it's just a cube from a distance. But it's just a boulder. What do I actually think it is? You're educated. Obviously, scientific sourced opinions. I think this is it's a rock.

It's a rock. Yeah. No matter what though, no matter what they say, the conspiracy already exists or it's like, oh, that's what they're going to tell us when they discover that it's actually a giant pylon of some sort. See, this all segues into my actual story. There is a crashed disk on Mars, everybody. I'm going to send this to you right now. I don't want you to.

OK, this is not coming from a reputable news source. This is an anomaly hunter who is scouring through NASA images, discovered something on Mars that initially looked like a crater or like a asteroid impact. But they've discovered instead that it's perhaps a disk. I'm sending you the video. It's perhaps a disk. Well, because, you know, there's your there's your video. I just sent it in Zoom. Oh, OK.

Send it to Zoom. And it is a home. There you go. You can see the wakes it left as it crashed into the into Mars. OK, OK. And there's the disk right at the back right there. Yeah, you know what? It looks like what a snake would look like.

Like if it left a little trail. Yeah, like a little, yeah, like a little slithery spot. Yeah. Yeah. So just so you know, in the photo, a curious object with a distinctly round edge can be seen seemingly half buried in the Martian dirt with a long streak behind it, indicating the anomaly looks to be around 40 to 50 feet in diameter. Ward theorized that the oddity could be some kind of disk shaped ship that hit the surface of Mars at a very low angle. Alternatively, he also posited the strange streak behind the peculiar shape might be indicative of a ramp leading into an underground entrance.

Ooh. Maybe this is an underground. That's ambitious, I would say. You know, I maybe. Maybe a little ambitious territory being like, I think I know what it is to be clear. This picture is 15 years old. It was taken in 05 or 06 or made public on the NASA's website around that time. So this is a picture that is you can go check out that NASA's put out there.

But I don't know. It's interesting shape. I'm not convinced that it's a disk, but it's it's an interesting shape for what might be a comet that collided with Earth or some Earth with Mars. I don't know. What do you think is aliens, Jesse? I'm going to say no, but it would be cool if it was something like, look, one of the, you know what? When? I don't know if it's worthy of a full episode.

Man, you know what? Where's your head at? What's going on? What are you talking about? Yeah, this is a jumpy thoughts. Well, there's excited about this. Like there's there's a crazy concept. And I think we might even talked about this in the past.

The idea that, you know, people keep wondering why is there nothing out there? Like, why have we not seen life? And the idea that maybe it simply doesn't exist because like civilizations get to a certain point, then kill themselves every time, every time. And there will be no like space faring peoples because no matter what, you always fail. Are you talking about the great filter theories or whatever? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. You know what?

Fascinating stuff. And I would, and again, I'm totally open to the idea. I think it's like way more trippy if it's like there. It is a base on Mars base. Yeah. That's been like empty for eight billion years. That kind of thing. That would be great.

That's great. That's how that starts. That's how. Yeah. That would be insane. I would love that. Yeah. Well, that's my stories.

More semi-nonsense aliens slash some interesting space cubes. But Alex, since Jesse's going to be super dark, why don't you take it next? So this, this is a story that I was really interested in. And then I like got back to like a normal level of interest in it by the end of the story. So this came, this, this, this was the thing that was going around on TikTok. There was this guy from Sweden who said that he actually has visual proof that he met himself in the future. What?

So he's like. Okay. So he says he's a time traveler. He says he was fixing his sink or something. And suddenly he, he crawls in and it's like way deeper under there than it was. And it goes deeper and deeper down. And then finally on the other side of that, he sees an older version of himself because it's 40 years in the future.

He says luckily. The witch and the plumber dude. Yeah. Luckily because I thought no one's going to believe this story. The story is pretty old, but I don't remember following up on it. I do remember seeing the picture though. Well, this story, this story, at least as far as I can see it is from December 15th. It is a TikTok.

So I don't know how old it is, but it's, it's a TikTok and they both figured out, they figure out, they both have the same tattoo. I'm going to show you the video first of all. And you can see. This man. Yeah. This, if this is the same thing, this is actually the OG story is from 2012. Let's see.

Yeah. Just a little 30 second video. He said, luckily I brought my, what? Luckily I brought my, I brought my phone with me. He meets this guy hanging out with each other. They look like the same guy. They have the same arm tattoo. And that's it.

And so obviously everybody was like, oh, shit, this is dope. This is amazing. This is incredible. And it seems like this, like really hopeful story about like, hey, we're still going to be here in the, in the future. No, turns out it was made in 2006. And it's a marketing campaign about pension plans for, from a French insurance company called AMF.

So this is, so this actually isn't a real thing at all. It's a thing that was going around on Tik Tok and it was just an old commercial of a guy visiting himself in the future to see that his pension plan is actually coming across this theory in like 2012 and be like, that's so weird, interesting and never finding out anything more about it. Wow. Crazy. Now Tik Tok gives it another life.

There's tons of these. I feel like it might be time to do a follow up time traveler episode because I wish there were a million stories like John Teeter, but there really aren't a million stories like John Teeter. Most time travel stories are like, oh, wow, this is cool. Nope. This is nothing like time travel. I would do another one.

I would love it because like time travel fascinates me because like if we were to take time travel seriously and be like, okay, we want to do this, you'd have to have like fourth dimensional coordinates because the earth is like moving through space at an exponential speed. So where we are now is not where we were in space, however far in the back you go. And unless you can somehow pinpoint that, how does time travel fucking even work? Like it's the unfortunate reality of like the physics of the situation. But I don't know. Like it's just it's just it doesn't.

It's weird. I love time travel as a concept so much. 100 percent. I'm right there with you. And yeah, I was thinking about this because I think the compilation that we put out last week has the story of the guy on Tik Tok from last time that I talked about who's like, OK, he's like, oh, I'm in a I'm in the future and no one is around. You know that one?

Yeah, which reminded me. I saw one of those Tik Toks again from a really big account and there was a glitch and I saw it and I went to the comments and everybody saw it. One of the buildings literally like glitched like it kind of like faded in and then he turned the camera and we turned it back. It like popped in a little too late indicating that the whole thing might actually simply be like a really good reconstruction because graphics have just gotten so good. As long as you're not putting people in there, dude, did you see easy to fool people?

Did you see the the matrix thing? Have you done that yet? Yeah, I played the matrix thing, which is like it's super neat. Like the system is running away that thing. I mean, look, the graphics are one thing. It's like amazing to see good graphics. But the level of simulation and control over like architecture like randomized architecture and like they are simulating like 40,000 cars in a city and all this shit.

Yeah. And it was running pretty good. Like it was really running well on the system. I did it on PS5. Look great. Yeah, I did. It really did. It was nuts.

Well, Jesse, dark in the mood. Gentlemen, fans at home. Yes. Delightful patrons. I figured I would wrap us up today with some of my there was over the weekend. There was a Reddit post that I loved and it was one of those things where it was like, ah, I don't know why I decided to read this, but now you have to suffer with me. It was what is a scary science fact that the public knows nothing about?

Oh boy. This was just one of those like, what is a scary silent fact that the public knows nothing? It was just people responding to it with things that they thought were awesome. And I chose some of my favorites because they're just insane and super fun. But the first one is, you know, we get more galactic as we go out, but the first one's very down to earth. And I thought this was like something I've never thought about. And now I will never not think about it.

When doing an autopsy, they don't put the organs back where they belong. They store them in the belly in a bag like giblets. Hmm. Honestly, makes sense. I hate it. Why would you put it back? I hate, I agree. They just put it all in a bag and put them right back inside and sew you up.

Yeah. I hate it. So I get it. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. That's number one. Let's keep going.

Let's keep going. All right. Well, here's here's another. The United States has lost and never recovered at least six nuclear devices. God, I knew that one actually. Thanks for reminding me because that's something I had forgotten. I knew and now I know. Of course, because Reddit is Reddit.

A lot of people were like, you know what? Totally true. Russia and China have certainly lost many as well. And the good news, according to one user is like, look, it actually takes a lot of precision engineering to even detonate it. And if they're lying around in the elements, it might be likely that they'll never be detonatable. That's comforting then.

Yeah. It does leave the possibility that someone will find them and maybe use it as a dirty bomb. But for like an actual city devastating bomb, it probably will not happen. But what about like bullshit leaking into the fucking? Oh, that's a totally different thing. Oh, that's a totally different thing. Yeah.

So all right, let's continue on. Now let's get a little bit more out there into space. There's two more. This one's great. Ton 618 is a black hole about 18 billion light years away. But we can still detect the light getting like sucked up into it. It's so large that they had to make a new category of black hole called ultramassive black holes.

It's believed to be the largest thing in the universe. Its diameter is 40 times that of Neptune's orbit. So that song is totally lame now. Yeah. Supermassive black hole. So it could fit our entire solar system 40 times across side to side. If the black hole replaced our son, it would literally delete us. If it replaced the black hole currently at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy and 120

years, the Milky Way would be deleted. Delete us. I hate the black hole. That's wild. Doesn't swallow planets. It swallows galaxies. That's how big it is. Black holes are one of those things that I fucking love reading about, but the more

I think about it, the more like it's just makes me question so many things. It's almost Cthulhu. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because one of those things were like Einstein obviously predicted it, but they had never detected it. And he was kind of like, he wasn't even sure they existed. And then we detected them and we found them and they exist, which proved Einstein right

again. Crazy. The last one is by far my favorite because it's like, well, what's it going to do? The Higgs field, which is sort of the Higgs boson and all that stuff. Essentially, imagine a, it's the thing that kind of like holds all of mass together. So basically, like if it didn't exist theoretically, if it didn't exist, there would be no mass. Like we just all be particles like zipping about the speed of light, but with it, it's how the universe is the universe.

Right? Well, yeah. The idea behind it is kind of like, it's really a false vacuum and at any single moment could just poof and be gone. And so really at any single moment, we could all poof and be gone. And my favorite part of this is everyone was like, Oh, well, you know what, at least it's instant oblivion. So it's not that bad.

And then this person responded because I love read this person responded. Well, yes, the true vacuum, if it burst would slowly destroy us at the speed of light, right? As fast as you can possibly go, it would destroy everything. However, because the universe is so vast and the speed of light does take time that sure, certainly if we were right next to the initial pop, we would disappear instantly. We would cease to be. But if we were way far away, it could take thousands, millions of billion years to reach us.

It already could have happened. And we just wouldn't know. That was like, yeah. Wow. So have a good sleep. Thanks for listening. We are nothing but stardust in the galaxy. Oh, we wouldn't be stardust.

No, there would be no stardust. That's true. Everything would be like space fact. 95% of all matter in space is dark matter and we can't see a single ounce of it. I love it. It is so again, all it does is reinforce the fact that, hey, celebrate what you got. Celebrate your friends and your family and every single day because tomorrow we could cease to be.

Just put it out there. Have a good time. Cherish your life. Science fact one in five of your friends is actually just a bag full of bugs. And don't forget, don't call out of work tomorrow. They need you. No, no. I have that.

No. You call out. They need you. Remember that. They need you. If I, if I ever die, every listener has every excuse to use me as to get a free day off of work. For me, take a few weeks.

You're right. Take as much time as you need. All right. We're out of here. Thank you guys so much for listening. We'll be back with some more mini soda on since next week until then. Goodbye. Bye.

Bye. Thank you to talk space for sponsoring this episode and funny that this is a day I record my ads for this place after having therapy only a couple of hours ago feels, feels serendipitous.

You're more movie people than I am. But that's the song that would play over all of Granny's murders if Quentin Tarantino was directing a biography about her.

It would be an insane movie. I would be like, him? I don't know. This image of her poisoning her victims to smiling and bopping. I didn't imagine her barefoot the entire film, but here we are. We don't worry about that. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to Minnesota 76, 24 away from 100 and almost 200 away from the next sexy number.

My cats are yelling. Hang on a second. You take it away from here. I'll be right back. All right. So here's what's up. I've got an article that I'm going to tell you guys about that. You know, there was a lot.

There was a lot of great news this week. But the biggest one for me and I'm, you know, I must. I select to, if you will, I like to sniff out the weird ones. And this, this one comes from Mysterious Universe contributor Paul Seaburn, who is my favorite contributor to Mysterious Universe, which is, you know, it's a, it's a motley bunch over there that do the news on this website, very, very fantastic stuff. Basically, all is so long. Yeah.

Basically, I seriously, it's so weird. Basically, there are two ladies that they that have been discovered in Vietnam and they say that they don't bathe because they don't have to bathe because they have like a mutant style superpower, which is that their bodies smell like perfume. No, don't don't believe it. Refuse. So this reminds me, I had, I don't call him a friend, but I had acquaintance I knew in the friend circle that I was a part of the same circle played Dungeons and Dragons and

all that nerdy shit. And this guy would never, ever wear deodorant and told us he showered very rarely. And the reason he said that that's the case is because he said his BO smelled like pencil shavings. Nope. So he just never bothered. And I was like, that's gross. That is one of those nose blind things that I'm convinced these two women probably smell

like jank sauce. The most, the most strange part about what you said is that like I'm supposed to go with the information. Oh, pencil shavings. Never mind. Stay dirty, my friend. What a great smell. What a great smell pencil shavings is.

That just makes my fucking libido just never shower again, sir. I love the smell. Yeah. Pencil shaving stuff. I'll never forget that. It was wild. The quote is during the day, if you want to smell the scent, you have to rub your body with your hands.

That night, people around me can still smell the smell coming from my body, even if I'm sitting a few meters away. This, these are the words of somebody whose name I'm going to butcher. Dang T toy, who is a seamstress from the province of sock trying, who undoubtedly gets invited to a lot of parties where she has to put up with men wanting to smell her. That's the quote from the article. This is from an art. This is from a YouTube channel called Extraordinary Bin Duong.

It's been making the rounds. It's a very insane story. They say that she noticed that she had a pleasant smell after working hard all day and then, like, instead of taking a shower, she was rubbing her hands and she was like, the fuck is this smell? What am I smelling? And she won't, she won't say whether she's been to a doctor about it. What?

She said, I don't know. Okay. No, I believe you. I just like, it's one of those things where like, if you're just simply saying, I'm not telling you, it just means no, you haven't gone. Why would you hide that piece of information? Right. Well, she says, she says she hasn't been to the doctor, but that she's been examining

herself and that certain parts of her body are more smelly than other parts or so she uses the word fragrant. It smells stronger at night, weaker during a menstrual cycle and most powerful of all during a full moon. So that's something you can think about. They get into the fact that like certain food smell rises with the tides. Well, certain foods, like, you know, if you think about what sweat is, which is like the most likely culprit for this, right?

Sweat is like, like mostly water, but also like ammonia, salt, sugar, like just things that come out of your body that that come from what you put into your body, right? So eating things like garlic, right? Or carbs or certain vegetables make you kind of smell like shit, right? We all know this. Like if you eat a lot of garlic, you start to smell like garlic. But like he was eating pencil shape. But apparently eating meat and eggs and tofu make your sweat smell kind of sweet and things

like fenugreek make your sweat smell like maple syrup. But yeah. So basically, but how much would you have to eat though? Right. Dude, I don't know. But after the story of Deng T Tui went out on this channel, that's when the other woman contacted the YouTuber and she's from the Ken Gang province and she says that she also has this thing where if you rub her body, a good smell comes off of it.

Her name is unfortunately because like I'm an English speaker, so it's ironic to me. It actually says, okay, one other person, Miss Deng, an ironic name in English. Because she admits a strong floral fragrance. But she kept it to herself. But then hearing about it on YouTube gave her the bravery to come forward and share the fact that she too. Do you have any confirmation of either of these claims? I mean, other than the YouTube channel and the fact that the story is making the rounds

and that people have talked to these people, I don't know of anybody who's actually gone to Vietnam. I don't know how hard it is to go to Vietnam right now. I don't know what the vibe is on that. But it seems like the YouTuber is Vietnamese. I haven't seen the video, but it's this is a this is a let me see if I can find some more primary. It's all in Vietnamese.

So it's very hard for me to his website is all in Vietnamese. So I can't really tell whether it's talking and none of it's all just pictures of articles are all the posts on this website. So I can't really tell whether or not he's gotten a whiff of this chick firsthand. But real talk. I can't stop thinking about these like good smelling ladies being like, yeah, it's the full moon and I smell amazing. Like it's just super strange to me.

I don't I don't know how I feel about this. I don't know. Maybe it's a diet thing. The fact that they're both in the same country makes me believe that maybe there's some sort of diet like our spice that if you go ham on it, you know, maybe you start to smell one way or another. I definitely I definitely I definitely like, you know, I've definitely like smelled my own bio from time to time and been like, OK, I can get behind or like notes or like when

you burp and you taste something that you ate earlier and it's good or you smell your own shit and you're like, no, kind of into this. No, this vibe. You know, you farted and you've been like, you know, I'm pretty sure everybody's everybody. No, anybody who doesn't do that is lying. I'll say that. Sus. Well, I don't smell like flowers.

I don't know about you, but I smell like B.O. If I let myself not shower, I smell like beefaroni beefarino. Oh, dude, don't shower. If you just smell like beefaroni, just let it go. Why not? Right. No, if I had to guess, like, I mean, it's kind of like a sour like it smells like I'm trying to tell you what my B.O. smells like. It's a sour smell.

What is it's kind of a truffle for this? That's just it's kind of troughly for early access to these kind of troughly kind of smells like maybe like a nice mushroom porridge, like a sort of sharp mushroom porridge. Yeah, let it go. You know, let it linger. See if the world enjoys it after a little little bit of time. See people like, do I smell beefaroni and start like looking around for like food?

Yeah, it's like creamers horse. I don't have a beefaroni story or a B.O. story. I got a quick one. It's just science, Jesse. Let's what's wheeled us around to science. A million year old dinosaur that never hatched has been found within its egg remarkably well preserved. Have you seen this yet? Yeah.

Isn't it fucking cool? I have. I have seen this. Did not think this was the story that you were going to talk about when I asked you earlier if it was about a prehistoric creature. Oh, I'm well. You thought it was something wild, more wild than that. And curious what you thought. No, this is just something that is just fucking cool.

A fossilized dinosaur egg containing an impeccably preserved embryo has been unearthed in China, and researchers say that it provides an unprecedented look at how the ancient creatures position themselves prior to hatching. According to a press release, the remarkable object boasts a rather amazing backstory, as it was first discovered back in 2000. And although it was believed to be a dinosaur egg, wound up sitting in storage at a mining company for a decade.

When scientists finally got their hands on the egg and were able to examine it with modern tech, they were astounded by what they saw contained within the egg is what paleontologists why some ma described as a beautifully preserved embryo belonging to a group of bird-like dinosaurs known as over wrapped over raptors, over raptors. Sorry. The discovery was particularly enlightening, he explained, because most known non avian dinosaur embryos are incomplete

with with skeletons disarticulated. As such, the complete nature of the new fine dubbed baby yingliang allowed them to observe its bird-like posture, which Moose said had not been recognized in non avian dinosaurs before. Until now, this tucking position had only been seen displayed by birds. But the newfound embryo suggests that it may actually have originated with dinosaurs. So if you actually go out and find like a look at this egg, it is crazy, like how much of it is preserved.

And yeah, it's literally just like a baby bird. There's like a beautiful drawing of it and a and like a real photo of it next to each other and like every article about it. And it's it's it's awesome. It's crazy. It looks like a bird. Yeah, it is. It really does. It just looks like a bird. And hopefully maybe we can clone it.

That'd be cool. Oh, listen, you match Jeff Goldblum. We're fine. He will run the park. I don't think that's I don't think that's the correct answer there. You don't think he would do a great job? He's been in that park multiple times and it's failed every single time. I mean, that's fair, because he wasn't running it. Regardless, go check this out.

If you're a fan of this kind of just curious, like the fact that this is an unfathomable like age, 70 million years, just you can't comprehend that and we could still get a good look at this thing, Skeleton and wondering maybe where it was when everything went to hell on this planet. It's just fascinating. It makes my mind wander and I love it. Well, hey, let's stay on science because I want to get real weird with you guys.

This is a great article. New science women in Vietnam. So new science reports that a team in Australia has been growing brain cells and this is fucking this is a fucking crazy story, too. And what they call puddles of brain. Portable labs, a company involved in working with the integrating of biological neurons with more like traditional silicon based computing hardware has grown brain cells on a micro electronic array

so they can like stimulate the cells and these hybrid chips are basically able to learn and restructure themselves to get past problems that they throw at these brain cells. Well, they have in the past decided like different tests for them. And the most recent test that they're, you know, promoting right now is the fact they're teaching these brain cells how to play Pong. And that's crazy. The baseline for teaching an AI how to play Pong is 90 minutes.

The dish brain, as they call it, managed to learn how to do it in five. Holy shit. They state that like it doesn't mean the AI would lose to the brain. It just means that the brain learned to play it faster, that the AI would probably formulate better strategies and be able to like defeat them. The brain is just, you know, like a human brain would have to keep playing and learn and learn, but it picked up the idea of what Pong was faster than the AI. The AI was like, I don't get this.

And the brain was like, easy. The chief scientist, a scientific officer at Cortical Labs, Brett Kagan, told new scientists, we think it's fair to call them cyborg brains and went on to explain that when the brains are moving the paddles in Pong, they're convinced they are the paddles. We often refer to them as a living matrix, he explains. When they're in the game, they believe they're the paddle in that game. That is OK.

This is like the fucking thing. That's that's so oh my. That's fucking crazy, first of all. That's insanity. Yeah. Because what if this is a game? Dude, we're just believing we are the people. Like welcome. Welcome. Welcome to how brains work.

Have you not seen Matrix? Do you know what the plot is? I mean, I mean, yes, yes. Obviously, obviously. Don't say obviously to me about you having seen a movie. That's true. That's what he is. That's what they're saying is the thing that I think all Phyllis like philosophical inclined people understand is like,

in the end, you are your brain and then everything connected to your brain. And really, your brain tells you what is real and what's not. Who like am I talking right now? Is this actually a table? Yeah, because it's like, well, does that mean it's all this brain dishes live? Well, technically it is because it's brain cells. Yeah, but it's not. There's no comp. But the brain, again, yeah, the brain has no cognitive.

Like, well, like it's a person and it was a true. The brain assumes it's a paddle because it's playing pong. That's the real question now is if Ray Leota from Hannibal can like continue to be a gamer, you know what I mean? Like after after Hannibal eats his brain out of his living head. By the way, that happens at the end of Hannibal. Sorry. Spoiler for me. I haven't seen it. That's all right.

I it's not it's not a really you kind of assume that's the direction it's going to go. It's just a fucked up scene. It's it's it's we already know that he's down for the count. But he eats his, you know, like, you know, that scene in Indiana Jones where he's like, killed a monkey brain. It's like that. But with really Ray Leota's brain. And I think he could play pong now. And that just makes me feel better.

We just put the brain cells in him. I think it's interesting the idea of they're growing brain cells. Brain cells notoriously, not something that regenerates. So that's interesting. I think that can be very helpful down the line when it comes like they're talking about biological neurons on, you know, micro electronic arrays to replace all the silicon based stuff that we keep. You know, spoiler, we're running out of raw materials

to make a lot of the stuff we need for your phone. That's why that's why when you buy a new phone now, a lot of times it's like, you know, if you would turn your old phone, we'll give you a thousand bucks for it. Yeah, like, yeah, they need those bits. Yeah, dude. That's where this is like a huge step toward getting that fucking getting to that episode of Star Trek, where he has to debate if

if data is a real living thing or not. Measure of a man. Measure of a man. Right episode. Love that episode. Riker. Oh, what a great. What a great. That was season one, right? One of the only season one episodes that wasn't trash.

Yeah. Well, I don't know about trash, but, you know, OK. Season one was rough, man. But regardless, like that feels like the next step of like Oh, man, yeah, that's what I'm having a hard time processing because it's like it's a lot. It's alive, but is it a life? Not really, I guess. I mean, is a jellyfish alive? Yes, it's like, it's like, you know, I think this thing is more

alive than a jellyfish. Yeah, well, it's not. Well, do you want to know the concept of life, bro? Do you want to know what the other prehistoric creature that I was? Yeah, please. Just because I feel like people are going to be like, well, why is it? In England, a piece of like the cliff near the ocean fell off just like a huge big block of

like sandstone or whatever fell off of a cliff in like Newcastle. Like I think like near Newcastle, I don't I don't know. I'm not a geography master with the UK. I apologize. But basically it fell and exposed this thing and some like some like graduate students were like the hell. And apparently it was a millipede fossil that they found, but it is. It is the size of a car.

It is a millipede the size of a car. That's awesome. That is that is three hundred and twenty six million years old from the Carboniferous period when like the earth was like the big ferns. And it was all wet, oxygen rich and can sustain enormous life. Yeah, how it could still be today, you know, I'm just kidding. No, I don't actually don't think it was basically this thing. There there's only been three of these are called arthroplura.

The other two that have been found are way smaller than this. They lived for 45 million years as a species before going extinct. They don't know what it ate, but they think it probably ate a lot of like nuts, seeds, leaves, but also like. Amphibious like living like living prey. Imagine giant bugs being a thing. Yeah, I mean, there's pretty big bugs today. There's like fairly large bugs compared to most bugs.

But imagine like you're in a jungle and instead of being afraid of like island. Yeah, exactly. Instead of being like afraid of a fucking lion, you're like, I hope that big ass millipede doesn't come. And there's actually pictures of this. So if you want to see one right now, yeah, this is this. I'll give you the link. You can see the actual fossil.

You can see the actual like what they think it looked like. But yeah, it is the site. It looks like the like the fossil at Disneyland. When you get off, when you get off to the end of Big Thunder Mountain, it's like sticking out of a rock wall. It's awesome. It's wild. Because like the first picture, it's hard to tell like how big that actually is. But then the one below it where the people have like ropes around it,

you're like, oh, that thing is huge. Right. Yeah. It's nutty. So so that's what I thought you were talking about. That's it. Still, that's awesome. Thanks for bringing that up to your home.

I believe is where we're at right now. I love how low energy it is coming into the episode. It feels so good. It feels like you're coming to like the cat, like a silk robe is coming sliding onto your body.

But like you see it. Robots are doing it. Yeah, like having sex with each other. What? What sex robot? Sex robot. Sex robot activated. He's made of sex for sex purposes. So I know we all got something. I guess he's got something to do with the exorcist.

He's tased a little bit. So I'm going to jump in with mine because it's not paranormal. It's just insanity. I came across this news article a few days ago. It's from the last week of December. There is a war happening in India between in a village between monkeys and dogs. Yes. I don't know if you've read this gentleman, but the story basically goes

that this one dog in this village killed these two monkeys, baby. And out of revenge, the monkeys have now killed over two hundred and fifty dogs as revenge for them, the dogs killing their their baby. So they're calling it so they're calling it a war. But like monkeys, in my understanding, monkeys are quite more advanced than dogs. So are we talking about like just dog slaughter by via monkeys? Like, let me have a chance here. The dog, the monkeys, though, update that monkeys are now dead.

They were hunted down because it was the same two monkeys that were just killing all the dogs in the village. So it was like the primary iron monkey, but with real monkeys. Yeah, yeah, I guess as close as you can get. The two monkeys have been reportedly been captured in India for killing two hundred and fifty some odd dogs. Oh, my God. A murderous revenge massacre after poochers killed one of their babies. The primate perps allegedly slaughtered the dogs by dragging them to the tops

of buildings and trees in Lavu in Lavu village. All right. All right. Time out. This is the raid. Yeah. What is it? I know it's nuts. It's nuts. This is again, small village in India. Here's where is this article from? Right now, the one I'm reading is New York Post, but you can just like a bunch of articles.

All right. All I'm saying is New York Post or anyone else out there. How dare you try to play coy and funny with every day? Every time we read a story from anywhere, there's always something included by the author that's like it's a joke. And what was the primate line? Primate perps. Get out. Like, I'm going to use some alliteration here like F you.

The prickling. There's literally the pups to the top of the precipice. F you. That sucks. I hate when people do that. That sucks. Get out of here. A little spice to the sentence. Are you Jimmy Olson? Why don't you call fucking Superman, you fucking geek?

It's nuts, man. Yeah, the two monkeys involved in killing in the killing of many puppies have been captured by a Nagpur Forest Department team in Bede. Sanchin Kanda Forest officer in Maharashtra's Bede district told the local news. So, yeah, they've been they were dragging dogs and puppies to the tops of buildings and dropping them off and like kicking them out. And this is a new headline for this story. It's the Uck Ock Saints.

So stupid. That's so stupid, Alex. I love it. And I'm I can't help it when I'm a genius. You know what I mean? I can't help it. I've seen so I get to I get that reference because you live in Boston for a long time. You have to have seen it. I feel like they make you watch it at school or something. I was like, watch it like, yeah, late teens and my friends like, you've got to see this fucking cool movie. Yeah, it was all right.

It was all right. It's anyway, it's it's worth a watch. I love the movie Crank as well. So you know where I'm coming from. That's fair enough, fair enough. That's basically the extent of the story. The monkeys have been caught at this point, but they monkeys went and killed essentially every dog in the village as revenge, which is insane that they were just dragging them to the tops of buildings

for days and just murdering that is a dog after dog. That's fucking insane. That's my story. That's all I got. I just want to leave you with that that taste. You got a big one or a little one, Jesse? Mine's kind of big. OK, I'll I'll I'll do I'll do Baba Vanga. Have you got your Baba Vanga?

No, no. She was a blind mystic. She was from Bulgaria. Nice. Her actual name is Vangelia Pandava Dimitrova. She was from Strumica, which is like a mountain village. She died at age 85 in 1996. She was known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans. And she kind of has like a superhero origin story where.

Up until she was 12 years old, she was just like a normal kid. Nothing strange going on. And then during a freak tornado, she like went blind after being thrown in the air and then back onto the ground. And her family found her days later, close to death, with her eyes sealed shut and encrusted with a thick layer of dust. And she said that during that time, she experienced her first vision and believed that she had been instilled with the ability to heal people

and in and predict the future. Oh, and so I'm going to give you some things that she has predicted before. Things that she is predicted for 2022. And then we can if you want, we can go back to 2018 and 2019 as well and see what she's predicted. But here's 85 percent success rate here from Baba Vanga. Here's some stuff that she has predicted. Apparently, she predicted the Kursk Nuclear Submarine Disaster in 1980

where Baba said Kursk would be covered with water and the whole world will weep over it. Claiming the disaster would happen in August 1999. But the Russian sub sank in August 2000, killing everybody on board. So she was off by a year. She got the month right. Pretty loose interpretation, I would say. Apparently, she also predicted ISIS. There's no further like that's the end.

She's like, I predict they say she predicted ISIS. They say she predicted the Syrian gas attack. She warned of a showdown before she died in the country where Muslims would use chemical warfare against Europeans. This is not to be similar to the suspected gas attack like that Assad did that he launched against his own people. I don't know if that's 100 percent true. Says she also predicted Brexit.

She said that Europe will cease to exist by 2017 is what she said. So I don't know if unless you're the most of British person in the world, I don't think that you think Europe doesn't exist without England in it. But yeah, that's the thing. She also said that the 44th US president would be black. But she also said that he would be the last president, which I think, you know, we can be the judge of whether she was right or not on that in 1989.

She claimed the American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds and innocent blood will be gushing. Some people think this is a 9 11 prediction. She predicted that Putin would win the election in 2018. In 1979, during a meeting with Valentin Sidorov, Vanga said, all will fall as if ice and only one will remain untouched. Vladimir's glory, the glory of Russia. And then she said that just before she died,

she said that Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world via World War Three. But after that, cheeriness, let's talk about 2022. Bob Vanga's picks. Here we go. Oh, I'm excited. All right. Do we each put a little money on some to see which ones we think will come out true or not?

I'll give you a percentage on each one. I'm going to say none. This is this is the sun reporting on an article from the mirror. So OK, that's like, wow, that's like fuckception. We call that repurposing content in the industry. If they call it just two babbling idiots talking back and forth to each other. All right, here we go. She predicted a virtual reality takeover for the coming year.

What? I'm going to give that like a 70 percent. What do you mean that? I don't think I'd give it a 70 takeover. How? That's I'm going to interpret it. I'm going to interpret it as the rise of the Metaverse. I'm going to interpret it as that is dumb. The Metaverse sucks. I think that I think the Metaverse is for dummies

with no with no taste or love in their hearts. But I do think that we're going to be a lot closer to what's that movie that has all the Ninja Turtles fight in the Iron Giant and shit. We're going to be there. Monic. Yeah, that's the one. We're going to be there soon. The Matrix three. Giant Monic. Yeah.

She's also said she predicts that we're going to have another pandemic that's going to come from Siberia that's caused by frozen virus that's going to be released by climate change. So that sucks. We've already seen like something not like that happened, but haven't we discovered like old bacteria and shit and ice already? It's definitely a thing we're really worried about. Yeah. So that's one of the big worries.

That's like the number one worry of global warming that's like not environmental. Future lady and off of that shit where I'm over it. If you're not going to, I will say this, though, if you're not on the team of saving the environment just for the. Soul fact that animals and plants are awesome and make me happy. Then, you know what? Let's prevent the second pandemic that's like an ancient virus that was good enough to kill the dinosaurs that will just rip our faces off.

She also predicts that many cities will face water shortages that will result in political consequences as alternative solutions are used. Not sure what that means, but the water wars are coming. That's not a joke. It's all my do. The invasion of Earth by aliens this year with the arrival of an asteroid. She's telling us, wait, wait, what? Whoa, can I tell you? Can I tell you just yesterday I was reading a Reddit post

where a guy was like, yo, I have it on good authority that that an approaching asteroid has aliens on it. Good. Wait, where did you read that? Just like a Reddit post. It was like 2 a.m. And I was like going through Reddit. Was he like seven years from now?

They will arrive and they did some really weird things to me, but I'd rather not talk about it. But here is a three hour essay. Dang, I'm into it like I hope they're nice. But like it's weird that we have to worry about World War Three as well as aliens coming to the planet virus. Here's the thing. Does that virus wipe out the aliens?

Because I'm putting money on that. I've seen more of the world. That those are maybe that's it. Oh, yeah. OK, real quick. Virtual reality, I'm given 70 percent. The virus pandemic, I'm given a 20 percent. Mostly because I don't want it to happen. The water wars starting this year,

I'm going to give that like a low percentage. I don't think we're at water war status yet. That's that's for future us to deal with. It's definitely still for us to deal with. We're going to get out of this one. Yeah, that's like five to ten years. Unless suddenly we hit the human instrumentality project and we all get merged with the consciousness of Greta Thunberg.

We're not getting this one done. Oh, we form a singularity and we just choose Shinji in that scenario. All of us, every single person alive. The invasion of Earth by aliens with the arrival of an asteroid. I'm going to give that one 40 percent. I'm going to give that one 60 percent. I'm going to give it 40 with a soft interpret a loose interpretation of the word invasion.

I don't think we're going to get a military force for the alien world. I think we're going to get zero percent. It's not I think we're going to find space life forms on a space rock. I think we're going to find a percent alien coming, dude. It's happening. I've been ready in 2022. Zero percent is zero percent. I think a rock from the asteroid belt that has some moss on it from another place is my idea

of an alien invasion where I'm giving it 40 percent. If we're talking about bleep bloops with guns, I mean, I'm down to zero. I'm down to zero. You call them bleep bloops. That's how he sits down there. And then, dude, I am offended. If that's what we're talking about this year, I don't think that's. I don't think we're at invasion. I think that I just picture Alex at like a bar with a beer.

Cowboy Alpha Centauri watching TV like these bleep bloops coming into our country, the Archie Bunker of like aliens. Yes, like totally chill. Like the wokest human being around. But when it comes to aliens, yeah, that's where you draw the line, man. Somebody you have to draw a line somewhere. You know where my line is. You're going to be shouting, make Earth great again.

Here's my thing, mega. I'm never going to get behind like the thing that I fast. That sucks. The thing that I can fast. The approaching is my my like disapproval of transhumanism. See, you and I are on the other side of that. Like part of me, I'm I'm in I'm not in a computer. Let me live forever. I'm not against other.

I'm not against other people doing this. I don't care like what you do with your body. You know, I've played Soma. I don't care. I'm just saying I'm not on board. I'm not trying to get I, you know, I'll put a CD player in my butt, but I'm not going to like put myself cyborgs. I'm into cyborgs. I'm not going on the computer.

I mean, I didn't ask you another question. How do you feel about human cyborg relations? I'm look, I'm a protocol droid myself. My man, let's go. Uh, next one is a famine in India due to a drop in temperatures that will result in locusts attacking crops. Due to it sounds. This sounds wrong to me.

It just sounds right. Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to give that one a low percentage. I don't know anything about India. I could tell you like literally you were like, there's a war in India. And I was like thinking to myself, there literally could be a war in India. That's how like in my own bullshit, I am in my house right now.

But like, I don't know about a famine with locusts because the temperatures are going down. That seems opposite to me, but I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. Uh, more earthquakes and tsunamis with intense bouts of flooding in Australia and parts of Asia. That sounds like a 10 out of 10. That sounds like it's happened a bunch already.

So that's going to happen for sure. Yeah. Uh, and yeah, she died 25 years ago, but she's still there. We can keep going. But that that's her. That's her predictions for 2022. We have her predictions for 2018 and we have her predictions for 2019, but that's all we got.

All right. Well, some of those seem like common sense. Some of them. Dean out there when I'm into it. Bold, some bold swings from Baba Venga. Yeah. Bold, bold swinging. Baba Vaz are nicknamed back in high school.

Bold swinging, Baba. The colder. Yeah. Yeah. That Bulgarian, Bulgarian mountainside high school that you went to. Yep. No, they, they yodeled up to school both ways. That's a joke for your dads.

All right. Uh, hey, we talked about in the episode, the exorcist. And so today I come to you from Monday, December 20th. Boy, whose case inspired the exit exorcist. I can't even say the word is named, is named by US magazine. Oh, they like outed the boy. Yes, the boy previously known as Roland Doe under what exorcism in Cottage City, Maryland and St. Louis, Missouri in 1949.

Ronald Edwin, the hung keller died last year a month before his 86th birthday, suffering a stroke at home in Marriott'sville, Maryland. An adult life, hung keller or hunkler, I don't know how to pronounce that, was a NASA engineer who worked on the Apollo space missions of the 60s and who patented the technology that helped design space shuttle heat panels. Huh, cool. Heat panels, eh? Yeah.

This is an interesting thing that I don't quite get the way they write this, but I'll assume it was a friend. His one of his companions, a 29 year old woman who asked not to be named, told the New York Post that hung keller fellowship of the ring. What is going on? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what that means. The cock ring was always on edge about his NASA colleagues discovering

that he was the inspiration for the exorcist. Hunkler even retired. Oh, Hunkler eventually retired from NASA in 2001 after working for the agency for 40 years. Damn, born in 1935 and raised by a middle class family in Cottage City. Hunkler began experiencing paranormal activities at 14 and reported hearing knocking and scratching sounds from behind his bedroom walls. The Reverend Luther, Luther Schultz,

Hunkler's family minister, eventually wrote to the Paris Psychology Laboratory at Duke University, North Carolina. And in March, 1949, he explained to them how chairs are moving. And one time a chair threw him out of it and his bed shook whenever Hunkler was in it. Dang, Schultz also explained how the family floors were scarred from the sliding of heavy furniture and how a picture of Christ on the wall often shook whenever Hunkler was nearby.

Geez, the family eventually sought the help of William Bowden, Bowden, a Jesuit who conducted more than 20 exorcism rituals on Hunkler in the span of three months, writing in his diary on the 10th of March, 1949. Bowden noted that Hunkler entered a trance-like state as 14 people witnessed and watched one of these exorcisms. Hunkler was then relocated to St. Louis to be treated for demonic possession. It seems that whatever force was writing the words, whatever force was like responsible, like responsible for this actually liked going to St.

Louis because one evening the word Lewis, L-O-U-I-S or Louie was written on one of the boy's ribs and deep red scratches. Damn. Next, when there was some question of the time of departure, the word Saturday was written on the boy's hip. As the length of time, as the length of time the mother would be staying in St. Louis, another message was printed on the boy's chest three and a half weeks. The printing always appeared without any motion on the part of the boy's hands. Hunkler was admitted to the Alexian Brothers Hospital in St. Louis on

the 21st of March, 1949. Nearly a month later, Hunkler broke into a violent tantrum of screaming, cursing and voicing in Latin phrases as Jesuit priests allegedly cast the demon out of his body. And then this is just, this is a quote from Washington Post reporter Bill Brinkley from 1949. He has been freed by a Catholic priest of possession by the devil. Catholic sources reported yesterday.

So this is like they have all the record stuff in this, but shortly before his death, this is the craziest part. So again, he died last year of a stroke. Shortly before his death, a Catholic priest showed up at Hunkler's home, unexpectedly performed last rites, said his companion. I have no idea how the father knew to come, but he got Ron to heaven. Ron's in heaven. He's with God now.

She told the New York Post. That's why that's how it ends. That's crazy. That's like probably that same priest who showed up and talked to Jason Miller in front of the Exorcist's house. So another Exorcist movie. Wasn't there like another movie that's like also based off Rowland Doe? Oh, yes, for sure.

I think there's, I think it's super interesting that, uh, that's, it seemed like flying to the radar, like a story like that existed, but I love the fact this guy, like, you know, when he was 14, he went through some shit and then let a life and like had a whole, did a whole thing. A very successful one. Big ass life. Yeah. He got us to the space.

Yeah. That's amazing. Nuts. Yeah. Fascinating. Fascinating stuff. I was like, that's cool. So let me just say, going back to the main episode, I don't know what I believe

about the Exorcist film. That article right there was like, that's a lot of like pretty verifiable stuff. Mm hmm. Yeah. Wonderful. People have like a deep book about his life now that we know who he is, and maybe there'll be some investigations in the future and maybe we'll learn a little bit more.

If you want a great look at what exorcisms are like, you should watch the Nathan for you episode where he tries to market haunted houses on the real estate market. You got to go, you got to watch it. Do yourself a favor. That sounds cool. That's a little, it's, it's more funny than cool, but you really just need to get, watch it.

It, if you have 20 minutes, this is just a wreck forever. This is a secret, Patreon only wreck for people. Go watch Nathan for you. The episode with the realtor. I'm a little good at it right now. It's fucking incredible. That's all I got. Yeah, that's that's it for all of us today here at the Patreon mini.

So thank you guys so much for the support. Thank you guys for enjoying the episode. We'll be back next week with a brand new mini. So for all of you in part two of Alex's main episode at episode 135, part two of part one, part two of part one of a now potentially two part four, part two of part one of a two part four part, exactly. Thank you to thirds. It's got periods, quarters and innings.

He gets it. The very last episode is actually the Greenstone part three bonus over time. Yeah. And bonus over time. That's it. All right. Goodbye, everybody. Thank you so much.

Bye bye. Hey, thank you to Raycon for sponsoring these episodes. And I am very happy to have Raycon back in my corner. I'm sure you've already heard of Raycon at this point. They have a bajillion collaborations with creators across the digital spectrum. And in the five years since they launch, they've become known for a few things. Their comfort, which is their perfect fit included and impressive battery life, which I will absolutely personally vouch for.

I use my earbuds every night before to go to bed. And I only have to charge those things like once every four or five days. And of course, premium sound at an affordable price, which is why I'm so excited to share that a new player has entered the game. Bing, bing, bing, bong, bong, bing, bong. That's video game noises. Raycon's gaming series, both earbuds and headphones. Both of them wireless.

The earbuds are compact, portable, universal with the headphones being comfortable and immersive. Hypersync low latency tech allows you to hear and see what you're playing lag free, which is huge.

We bring you a little taste across the Internet. I need to let you know any sites.

The number 78 can never it will never be sexy. Again, my best shot. No, it doesn't do it for me. 78 is not even a scary number. 78 is the least cool number. The least cool number. Yeah, we got some good stuff for you today. I know I know what you two got.

So let me just do mine real quick, because it's pretty easy. You know what I got? You don't even know what I got. You said you got a great article. So that usually means it's going to be beefier than what I've got. Because my initial topic was that the asparamancer had given us her 2022 predictions. And I was really excited about that. But I read through the asparamancer predictions.

They were kind of like generic and boring. So not as good as Baba Vengas. Not not nearly as good as Baba Vengas. If you go watch that episode last week, everybody was great. So instead, some UFOs have been spotted, everybody. Oh, damn classic course. The coast of Florida, a video of some mysterious lights. Let me get you boys the link so you can watch this news.

Are we sure this was just Florida, man, doing something dumb? If it could, I mean, that'd be, I mean, I wouldn't, I guess maybe. Mathis, I'm about to watch this and immediately debunk it. No, I'll give you the time code at 30 seconds. You can see the lights over the ocean. They just took a picture of it. I guess there's no video. It's just a picture of them.

But there you go. Definitive proof of aliens visiting here. I'll give you the read. I'll read the article while you do that. A couple in Florida were left scratching their heads. They spotted a curious cluster of lights hovering silently in the night. So they were just hovering quietly over the ocean. According to local media report,

Matt Krause and his wife experienced the intriguing sighting on Wednesday evening in the coastal city of Naples. Initially, the pair noticed one very bright object out over the water, but things quickly took a strange turn. New lights appeared near it and they got very, very bright at that point. Krause recalled. There were four of them and they kind of moved in different directions. Puzzled by what they were seeing,

the couple managed to snap a few photographs of the odd UFO cluster and are still wondering what they witnessed. What I can explain is why they were so bright. Krause mused, noting that way that he was also puzzled by how one of them was stationary for 15 minutes. So essentially kind of typical UFO encounter, very quiet lights. All of a sudden a bunch appeared. They started getting bright, moving, and then they scattered and disappeared.

My thing is like, why not a video? Yeah, that's I'm curious. Why not a video? He really would have served so much better for their argument and then everybody else if we could see a video of these things moving and not just like a weird picture, especially if they was there for 15 minutes. What's interesting is that first off, I didn't realize how close Naples was to one of my favorite places.

Shout out to Marco Island, Florida. Lovely. And check it out. You should go check it out. Anyway, also just here by Naples, Florida, just, you know, just to put this out there, Coast Guard, Air Force Base, Civil Air Patrol, just saying, there's a lot of possibilities. They've got all sorts of things going on there that this could easily be. Well, I don't know what to tell you.

That's aliens to me, man. I mean, it's certainly a good place. The light on the water looks good. I'll give it that. Let's be honest. I got. Listen, the moon cube end up being a fucking pebble. All right. I need some sort of. A million views. I get you.

I feel bad for you. I'm not surprised that that's what it ended up being. You know what? I did learn a lot from that, though, from the pebble on the moon when people were like, well, how is it possible that from so far away could look like one thing and up close look like something else? And thank God for scientists and like nerds coming in being like, yeah, so there's no atmosphere on the moon.

So here's eight million reasons why it wouldn't look like it was like. Yeah. Yeah. So anybody knows anything about cameras can tell you, you know, it's a it's a it's a very basic scientific principle. It's but I think we all knew the minute they said we saw this thing and we even joked about it. The minute we get up to it, people are going to be like, well, that's just a cover up.

Wow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm sure there's that's already running around. And I haven't placed it with a regular stone. No, science can't happen, man. Science means they're lying. If they give you eight thousand reasons, scientific reasons, you'd be surprised. I was in lies by the truth.

I believe that. You're going to be surprised. Here's the thing. Science, once you start to learn, once you start to actually learn how science works and how physics work and how the like space and time and light work, the it's exciting all the time. You don't have to like stake your life in like things that you think would be cool if you understand it all.

Yeah, it's all very cool. You can just get into existential and you don't have to feel like a dumb ass every time somebody tells you you're wrong and then you lash out and double down like a fucking idiot. Yeah, if you if you are like a scientist, you realize you're mostly wrong all the time. That's the whole that's the fun of it. Yeah, because imagine when you do find it, you know,

being a scientist means you're trying to prove yourself wrong constantly. It's like literally the whole point. Yeah, anyway, that's my depressing article. Whoever wants to take it away, take it away. Check it out. So I'm so ready. I got two quick things for you. Very similar things. These are both some coast to coast AM, but this one comes courtesy of phantoms

and monsters, someone who lives in Leesburg, Virginia. Couple of Thursdays ago, a trail camera that they had at around six a.m. in their backyard usually just picks up like deer or whatever walking by or whatever bypassing animals. But this clip that I'm about to show you. It's just, you know, the, you know, the Fresno nightcrawlers. Yes, I'm excited now. Yes, this is like the opposite of the Fresno night.

Never mind. It's just different reasons. No, it's good. It's just as good, but just it's the opposite part of the body. Link me, daddy. The opposite part of the body. Right at the beginning of the clip. What?

It's like right at the beginning of the clip. That this shirt man. Well, I guess you hail humanoid Leesburg, Virginia. Can I make this playback slower? Yes, you can. Let's slow this thing down for a minute, because I already have a guess. Slow it down to point two five. Yeah. And watch it with in mind.

It's it's the ass of an animal and we're watching a tail wag. That's no tail. That's like a cow tail. No, those are like jeans. No, so that is not. Two five. I'm point two five. And like pause it when it's bright enough. That doesn't look like jeans.

It looks like freaking wrinkled flesh. No, that's jeans. It looks to me like a Jar Jar binks his hand. Like whipping around his body like in a wide arc. No, if you if you pause at zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero at the very beginning. Yeah, yeah. Whatever that is, you can clearly see so lines. You can see the lines.

Oh, yeah, right at the top. Yeah, going up from like like maybe like 15 percent like hemlines. Yeah, there's clearly something down the left side. There's like an angular upwards arc. Yeah, it goes down. OK, yeah, I can see that I see like a cow's ass, too. I see what you're saying. A little just the thing that wags,

it just reminds me of like the cow's tail. Yeah, I totally see it. I see what you're saying, but I'm seeing Jar Jar binks to be with fingers is it doesn't have a lead up. You know what I mean? It's literally the beginning is the thing. And then the rest of the footage is nothing. Yeah, it's unfortunate because it's a wildlife camera

because it goes off when it triggers the camera. So whatever happened, it got pretty close before it triggered the camera. Oh, so that's one of the two trail cam type sightings. This one is from Montana. This one is a photograph is captured by Donald Bromley, who plays several of these like trail cameras around near Redgate near Deer Lodge. And they have batteries that last one year.

But this camera lost all its power in two months. And when he examined the images that were taken by all the trail cams, this this image that he has is only on the one that it's on. The other ones don't have this image. So I'm going to show it to you. It's not, you know, it's not in motion. So it's a little bit underwhelming compared to the previous one.

But check it out. Tell me what you think. It looks like a reptilian. This is kind of a no audio situation. He said he thought it was a person at first, but then he noticed that it had kind of like a strange bulbous head. And the more he looked at it, the more freaked him out, which, you know, kind of happens with the word sprinkle, if you think about it for too long.

But he says it's unrealistic that somebody would be passing through here because to get to the spot publicly is a quote from him. To get to that spot publicly, it's miles, literally miles to get there. And you probably have to drop a thousand feet in the elevation just to get to that point. So he thinks that it would be strange for it to just be a person, especially when it looks like they're wearing like something strange or almost agree. It's very strange, but also weird looking to discount.

Like wilderness. Look, I've said this story. I'll say it again. There are wilderness. There are people who live in the woods. And that is like, and I don't know if they're friendly or not. But every time I've seen them, they I've been like, oh, are we dying right now? That's given them his heads.

I mean, maybe I you telling me a naked person out in the woods got caught on camera, I would believe you. Engorged bulbous heads. I mean, that's a blurred. A blurred movement that could be hair. You're right. But it looks like I mean, you see how it looks like the great kazoo. Well, it looks like it's like an alien ghost is what it looks like. Yeah. Yeah, it does. It's a very weird picture.

Yeah. The fact that it's so blurry and in motion makes it's like hard to very hard to tell. Yeah, it's pretty good. I'll put the you just got to bug me. I'll put him up. That's all right, everyone. Well, why are you sorry? Sometimes I forget. That's all I'm saying. Sometimes I need to put it up. I need somebody to bug me because I'm, you know, I don't know if I have ADHD,

but it feels like I do sometimes. OK, all right. Well, Jesse, what do you got for today? I'm just you know what? I'm just going to like read most of the article to you because there's it is. I can't describe it the way this article does in such a great. This is one of the few times in my life where I'm blown away that like, you know what, it isn't just a garbage article. This one's very nice.

I think this is something we need for 2022. Moving forward, putting it all out there in the ether. This is for everyone at home. We're going to head to Tokyo and meet a guy named Shoji Morimoto, who has been accustomed to almost his entire life. He's 38 years old now, almost his entire life. He has been told by his family, his classmates, his co-workers, everyone that he is a do nothing.

He is the kind of guy that just sits back and likes others. Take the initiative and he's a nobody and they're like, you're going to be a nobody. Is a musical about to happen to him in 2018, unemployed on a whim. The self-described slacker opened a Twitter account under the moniker do nothing, rent a man and began offering his different like his companionship to people. But saying he will not like he's not going to lift stuff for you. He's like, literally, he's just going to be there.

It's like a friendly presence. Yes. And he sent it out to the world. He's like, look, I will do this. And he said, I lend myself out to do nothing, which means I don't make any special effort. I don't initiate conversation. I reply to chitchat, but that's it. I'm not going to, you know, like lift your stuff or clean your thing. I'm not going to do whatever.

And they say he schedules up to three appointments every single day. What is turned down? Request clean houses to be a friend, to do laundry, to make scintillating banter. Visit a haunted house, pose nude. But he has stood in the freezing cold in the rain to be the audience for a struggling street musician, accompanied the painfully self-conscious on outings to shop or to the restaurants so they don't have to eat alone and even share cake with a lonely soul on a birthday.

He says, people use me in different ways. Some people are lonesome. Some people feel it's a shame to go anywhere interesting alone. And they want someone to share their impressions with. I would do this if I lived in Japan. I would trust this. I would trust this if I lived in Japan. And it's like, what's amazing is there's a huge variety of personalities,

circumstances and situations. And that's striking to me every time I go out and do this stuff. On a recent weekday, he met a woman in her 30s, one of his regulars. And, you know, after their greetings, they sat down, drank coffee in complete silence. The woman who didn't want her name put out there said, Mr. Rental offers a safe space with no judgment, no strings attacks attached, no talking. So she just like sat there with him and that was enough for her. It's crazy.

That's like, it's so simple and like beautiful in a way. Right. Yeah. I was going to say, that's kind of nice. Yeah. And he said Japanese women tend to worry about what others think and about not being a burden to others. And he said, it's exhausting. So it's freeing when they can hang out with me. And, you know, they don't have to obsess over all that stuff. Yeah. The concept of offering to be a plus one at restaurants

or on shopping trips is not unheard of in Japan. But Morimoto was perhaps the first to entertain a wide range of assignments, air quotes, for nothing more than the cost of the car fare and if needed meals. So he isn't even like charging a bunch of do this. He's doing it because he's like a good dude. That's why it's cool. Yeah. Followed online by more than a quarter of a million people. He trudges around town, often going outside town, too,

to meet with people on this steady, this steady stream of clients as he has. He is a rent a man and it struck a chord with the workaholic and conformist country of Japan. Thousands of curious encounters later, his experiences have earned him a living. He's written four books, including a manga comic. He has. What? Yeah. It's about joining clients for a few hours at a cafe or an outing, providing moral support while a client filed for divorce, that kind of thing.

While his clientele skews overwhelmingly female, some of the more poignant stories he has come from men who are, you know, just aching to have a total stranger's ear. There was one young man stuck in a soul killing office job who asked this dude, the rent a man to meet him on the swings after work just so. And this is a quote to briefly relive the joy of being alive. That's depressing. Sounds like an advertisement for earthbound is what that sounds like. That's good. Another unforgettable client was a lonely young man

who asked to share a home cooked meal and an unbearable secret. His mother had raised him to a life of crime and he'd been sent to reformatory for his role in a robbery that left a woman dead. Oh, my God. He told Mr. Rental he still pined for the love of his mother, even though she ruined his life. Holy shit. Mr. Rental's signature props, a blue cap and backpack and is inexplicable, like minor celebrity status inspired a 12 part semi-fictionalized Amazon Prime

series last year. What? What is it called? I do. I don't know. Yeah, I kind of want to see what that's all about. Have you heard of that show, Gay Cation? Yes. Yeah. With Elliot Page. Oh, I think so. Yeah. Went to like Japan to like.

They got permission to film this guy come out to his mom. And like with them in the in the moment was a guy that the guy hired to pretend to be his friend. Interesting. And so it's Elliot Page in this and and I think it's like just the cameraman. And then like, you know, major celebrity, camera crew, mom and this person who's coming out to his mom for the first time. And then the other guy. Yeah, mom gets up and leaves because she can't handle it.

And the fucking rent a friend goes out there and like like talks to her about it and like convinces her to come back in and like accept the situation and like saves the moment. Unbelievable. Incredible. Crazy. Well, that's a man who's doing his job well. Well, critics say get a job. The married father. So I guess he is married. Shoji is married and he has a kid.

But I don't feel the need to answer to anyone. They're entitled to their opinions. By evening, Morimoto was on the move again, headed for drinks with a soft spoken 44 year old health care worker named Tamami. With a friend, you have to worry about whether they would like the bar or not, or whether they like what you have to say. But with Mr. Rental, son, he just straight up says yes or no.

It's less drama than going out with a friend. It's like hanging out with 10. Spark scores a copycat, but he says he's just getting started. He resents inferences that this is anything like a real job. He says nothing's more fun than doing nothing. It feels like my job sometimes. I I love this article because it is like so beautifully human. This dude is just.

Yeah, you know, I wasn't doing anything and I figured I go hang out with random strangers and make them feel good about themselves. I'm like, that's beautiful. It would feel great to just have somebody around. You know, it's like having a dog that that can understand you. Mm hmm. I guess, yeah, that's an interesting way to compare it. But yes, I would do that job.

I'd go hang out with some people and just like stand up for them. I was in Japan. I would trust them all would be great. Yeah, Japan. Yeah, that's true. It has to be out like Japan or Irvine Japan or Irvine. Actually, I don't want to be an Irvine Irvine. It's probably fucked up inside the houses. Well, good shit, everybody. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with us in this little mini-soad.

We are well on our way to Minnesota 100. We are a few to go, only a few more there and we'll be there. We will see you guys next week with a brand new mini-soad. Thank you guys so much and see you next time. Bye. 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 when she's looking up at the sky in the fall. I look up too, and there's a perfect line of dozen lights traveling across the sky. Imagine the next episode features you.
