Episode Date: August 1, 2019

Ben 'n' Henry break down this week's true crime news: Tom Delonge finds some weird metal, a man discovers something terrible in his mother's freezer, and MORE. TRIPLE L.

There's no place to escape to. This is the last talk. On the left. Side stories! That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories, yes. Are we good to go? Alright! It started so we're recorded. How much have you been recording, Travis? You've- oh no. Oh god, what did I say? Oh god, oh god. I'm gonna say it finally happened to me. What happened to you, buddy? It's gonna happen to you too, Kissel. What? I got Lizzo Fever. You got Lizzo Fever?

Lizzo. Who's Lizzo? She's a singer. Well, I have no idea who she is. She sings that song about juice. About juice? Yeah, and she has that other song about looking good. She's dressed it up and she feels good and she's super positive. Natalie really likes her and Jackie really likes her and now I'm into it. And I'm feeling free. Okay! It's a hot girl summer. Between you and Holden MacNeely from Wizard on the Bruiser, his love of Taylor Swift and now you love Lizzo, you know what? I have to ask, where have all the cowboys gone?

Lizzo. Because I am still in love with the woman who sang that song. I love Paula Cole. Paula Cole! And that was the first part of the time we remember being like a boy, and I thought that she was really sexy, but she had armpit hair. And I still was like, I changed something for me. It made me feel more European. Absolutely. But you would like Lizzo. She has a message of positivity. She's a full grown woman. She's not a Nazi elite like Taylor Swift is. Taylor Swift is not a Nazi elite.

I'm just saying she's not a pariah of the hinterland. I don't know what you'd call her. You just hate Taylor Swift. Now I have to defend her. You always put me in these positions. Alright, this is Side Stories Everyone. I am Ben and we have Henry here. And beautiful. This is nice. You're in beautiful New York with us. I'm in fine New York. Yes. It is nasty. It finally happened to me. I felt so sad. Not just Lizzo Fever, but I was at the gym, humble brag. Very humble brag. I have to keep my fucking blood pressure down.

I know. That's why I do what I do. This body that you see before you that is covering, I'm wearing, I'm definitely back in the New York groove because I'm wearing my workout weird swim shorts in the studio. I can see your full form basically within those tight, tight shorts that you're wearing. I'm compressed. You are compressed. The compression is hiding that this soft body you see is five days in the gym a week. Look at that. It's almost like you can have this body. It's almost like don't even bother working out.

What is the point? Just enjoy your life. Just enjoy yourself. The problem is I do the thing where I'm like, best part is I hit the elliptical 20 minutes today so I could definitely eat three burgers tonight. Of course. That's the whole problem. Yeah, it's back up down, up down, speed and boost, speed and boost. We'll get to some true crime stories here in a minute, but you know what I'm doing? Hmm, baby carrots. I'm going baby carrot crazy because what I find is like, you know, I like my nipples. I like the crunch of a chip, but I can't be taken in all the fat

and I can't do the fat free oline anymore. No, it makes you drip out your asshole. Yeah, it gets pretty brutal down there. So I'm doing baby carrots and I've gone through three bags a day and I'm losing weight. Great. You have a horse's diet. Carrots and peanuts. Why not? Well, what happened to me is so I was at the Yim and I felt the rumble and for a second I was like, earthquake, the big one's coming. This is the big one.

Get to the door frames, which is also not what you're supposed to do. You're not supposed to go to the door frames. It's all a lie. What do you mean? Every single thing we've ever known about any sort of earthquake prevention is a lie. You're supposed to get under a table, but needless to say, I finally became an Angelino because it was just a train going past the gym. This was in New York.

So isn't that fascinating? So you're a true Angelino. Is that what they call people from Los Angeles? Yeah. Are you sure about that? I would say I'm a true Angelino, but I'm definitely not a pedophile Angelino. Oh, that's great. Well, then you're definitely not a true Angelino.

I'm in the top 10%. Yeah. Well, very, very good. We got a bunch of crazy stories to get to. Henry, your people are in the news that your boy Tom DeLong. Yeah, dude. Do you want to talk about this story? Because this stuff is like kind of crazy. Now, is it all nonsense? It could be, but they are setting themselves up here.

If this doesn't turn out to be what it is, they're setting themselves up for a bit of a slide down. It's always been like this. Okay. Tom DeLong made an announcement on his Instagram and at to the Stars Academy also made the same announcement that they have a piece of what they're calling MetaMetal. MetaMetal. Let me look up the exact terminology that they're using and it's a little piece. It looks like slate, like it is, and it has weird ridges on it.

Yeah. Kind of like a, like a laze. Kind of like a laze potato chip. Yeah. Maybe it is metal. MetaMetal and like the metal is thinking about other metal. I have no idea what MetaMetal would do. They're calling it MetaMaterials. They got their hands on it and they believe that it might not be Earth based.

They have multiple, according to a comment from the to the Starters Academy, we currently have multiple material samples being analyzed by contracted laboratories and have plans to extend the scope of this study. It sends you to www.tothestarsacademy.com where it says, link in bio for offering circular. And when you look at the offering circular, it shows how you could be a part of the to the Stars Academy for an easy 30 Gs. That's all it takes. That's all it takes.

And you can be a member of to the Stars Academy. Why wouldn't you be? So this whole thing, this is their biggest find, right? Well, if it big of true, there is many rumors for many years that Robert Bigelow had a cache of material somewhere in a warehouse that he has kept super, super secret. And that maybe that switched hands to whoever is the private owner of Skinwalker Ranch now. There's multiple companies around. And but seems like this is, I don't know if it's, I'm not going to put my money on it.

But according to Steve Justice, current COO of to the Stars Academy, the structure and composition of these materials are not from any known existing military or commercial applications. He's used a former head of advanced systems at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, which is these guys, I mean, they can be purchased. Of course they can be. They were purchased by Lockheed Martin. They were.

Yes. But like in any, when you go to any trial and they have these experts that are either expert witnesses for the defense or prosecution, they are paid. Of course. This guy is paid. We have no clue what they're, if any of this is real or not, because they're keeping it real close to the chest. And every single thing that I click to look for further information just takes me to more

options for buying stocks to the Stars Academy. So is this just classic UFO bait and switch trying to get your money? Is that what's happening here? I don't know. We're looking at if, again, huge if true. If this happens to be actual material from a thing they do not understand, what they see here on another note, if the claims associated with these assets can be validated and substantiated, then we can initiate work to transition them from being a technology to commercial and

military capabilities. Very cool. So this Bobby Bigelow, let's call him Bobby Bigelow, because it makes him sound more fun. I can see the jacket, the big, you know, those, the big collars that go all the way down to 1970s. John Travolta. That look.

Robert's always go as Bobby. Got to. If you're older, because Bobby is a really good name for somebody that, like, you don't know how he makes his money. No. Bobby's a really good name, especially if he's an older boy, because as a boy, a Bobby is like a, hey, shucks, like you could toss him a nickel and he'll go buy you a gallon of milk.

And even if you didn't ask for a gallon of milk. Yeah, he'll come back with it. He stole it from the grocery store because a gallon of milk is called $6. Absolutely they do. So expensive now. In this economy. But Bobby is an older man, is a human trafficker. Well, it could be, could be.

Your superstar movies are like Robert De Niro. They always want to make sure Robert De Niro, because then he is his official name that they say at the Oscars and all the awards. But then if you know him, you can call him Bob. You can call him Bob. Isn't that amazing? No, we would love to talk to Robert De Niro. I don't know about what, but I'm sure that would be a good time.

So Bigelow. We can have him review my performance in Dirty Grandpa. That would be great. So at the same, so this dude, this Bigelow guy, he's one of these multi-billionaires, right? And he's invested all of his time and all of his money into like proving that this stuff is real. If this comes back to just be like, you guys just scraped that off of a pickup truck.

It is obviously simply aluminum or steel. This could just, this would undermine the entire thing that De Long's trying to do. This is a big thing. You know what's weird is that they've, this has happened time and time again. Yeah. This has happened multiple times. We've had many different people who have claimed, I mean, especially in the Bigfoot world, where how many people have said they've had a Bigfoot corpse or true evidence or Bigfoot

scat, right? So much Bigfoot scat. It is like ridiculous. It's like, what am I going to do with all this scat? I guess analyze it. I guess. By licking it and spreading. See how it spreads?

I have no idea. But the, so who knows? They are definitely putting a lot on themselves. They're putting a lot of pressure on themselves to say that this did not come from the planet earth and we're going to find out what's true or not. I mean, there's a lot of people that, there's a lot of controversy around the Two The Stars Academy, especially within the world of ufology, because it seems very much so like a pay to play scenario.

Right. But what I don't think that many members of ufology don't understand that is, most of life is a pay to play scenario. Basically all of it. Yeah. Basically all of it. It seems to work because that the people with the, this is what the concept of how America I guess was supposed to work, the people, a lot of money would then filter it down into

people that can then you can actually use the services for and their expertise and that maybe it helps to not have a partisan effort of the government constantly with their eyeballs on ufology because there's an agenda about hiding information or releasing it and they've been playing a slow game for a long time. So I don't know, partially me, I like the idea of private industry getting into ufology because that's because the cash dollars is what's going to allow these people to take their 2007 Hyundai Elantris to the sites that they need to go. Like they got to pay for gas money and you've got to give them at least a sandwich.

That's cost money. Multiple sandwiches, maybe a roller dog from 7-Eleven, maybe a roller to keto, but they're really fancy. That's why my thing is if I hired a league of ufologists to research a project, I get them starting fat. You could do it. You could do it pretty cheap to get a league. I bet you you could do it for a thousand bucks.

You can get five for a thousand. I think I could get three for a thousand. Okay. I want to say that I can get three. Yeah, I'm sure you could. And that I want them to start them fat so that you can only feed them one meal a day right and then they can live off their stored resources. Absolutely.

That's how I lost all my weight before and that's why I'm trying to lose my weight again. Baby carrots, that's the way to go. It's like having a team of Huskies. It really is. When you see those bigfoot hunters or ufologists out there in the field, buy them lunch, you see them out there covered in potential Sasquatch or alien dookie. It's definitely just bear crap, but just know they paid a lot of money. They paid a lot of money to be there and then you can say, you know what, it's good

not to be rich. Also, because at the very least they don't have to do this on the weekends. Being a ufologist is a calling. It is. It's a calling. It does mean you're going to sacrifice a lot of your life doing it. But I mean, who knows? Obviously, we're going to see how this pans out.

If it ends up being real, Tom DeLonge is going to be a heralded hero, not along the likes of Johnny Appleseed. He would be. But if he is wrong, he goes right back to being Blink 182. That's the thing. He actually is going to be fine and maybe this is just DeLonge being like, you know what, let's just put in, let's just put a pin in it and just say we did it. And then this will all fall apart and I can go back to singing Adam's song as the crowd

openly weeps. I think he's putting it all on black. He is. This is him putting it all on black and letting it run. That's what I do when I go to the casinos. When I play my roulette, black odd. That's it. Black and odd.

And that's what I do. Uncle Ben, when you tell stories about the casino, it's so fascinating. So tell us, which was the game that made you lose everything? Hey, you know what, buddy, I haven't lost everything yet. I'm doubling, tripling my money. But I listened to Norm MacDonald talk about his gambling addiction recently and he said the same thing, which is the sickest thing I've ever heard. He said that it felt liberating to go completely broke.

He said he went completely broke twice. In real life, he went completely broke. From gambling. Really? Yeah. Well, don't do that. You want to keep your money. You want to invest.

But he talked about it like it was skydiving. That it was the most incredible thing that ever happened to him and it changed his priorities and it did all the shit. And you're like, this is not the lesson. No, it is not the lesson. You do not want to go completely broke. Of course, Norm, he's got a whole career that he can go back and take his money out of.

And because, you know, I'll pay for Norm. I'll go watch, I'll go watch the McDonald live. I'll go see him. I would most assuredly pay for Norm. Yes. I would, I would make, I would keep him like as a, like one of those like artist patrons. Totally. I would love it.

So Henry, this story, I don't know why this made me think of you. Which is this story? This one is about that dude who found this fetus in his mom's freezer. Did you hear about this story? You're disgusting. I didn't do it. I did not do it. Why is it remind you of me?

I don't know. It just seems like something you would just be like, like, what is this? That is a fetus. No, my problem is that I put things in the freezer. Oh, I put things in the freezer and I just forget and they just become art of it. Artifacts in there. Yes. Absolutely.

And that's what happened here. So the headline of this story, this is coming out of St. Louis. This is the headline. I want more answers. Man finds frozen baby in mom's freezer in South St. Louis. This is something that does happen. Women oftentimes will keep, not often times, but I know some people who's mom would, I don't, I don't.

One in three women. Honestly. One in three women, they always freeze their miscarriages. They all love them. They love to be reminded of them. It is not, it's not that uncommon because I know somebody else whose mother did something kind of similar. So this dude, this is, uh, his name is, um, his name is Adam Smith.

This is what he said. He said, I'm 37 and it's been in my freezer for 37 years and I was always told it was a wedding cake top. So basically his mother passed away, his story is so gross, it was just in the family freezer. So a good freezer, they only had one freezer the entire, that must be a Kenmore. That's gotta be a Kenmore. That's a Kenmore. So this dude basically was moving out all of his mother's stuff.

She was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. And then he shuffled in through all of the freezer stuff, which by the way, he says to see if he should keep or throw away anything. And I'm like, you know what, just throw it away. Like what could your mom possibly have like, oh, I'll keep the chicken tenders. My mom has kept a cake from my 30th birthday. Do you know it's a cake? I know it's a cake.

It's not in the shape of a fetus, is it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. My mom, she bred all her children to full. Good, good. So yes, he's like, I was there at 37 years, my entire life it was there. And then it says here in this article, he says, entire life it was there. Yes. This is the article.

This is just such a crazy paragraph. So it says, his curiosity took over. Smith thought there could be that wedding cake top or even some cash in the box. But what he saw was the last thing he expected, Smith said, it turns out it was a baby. He told us the frozen baby was wrapped in pink fleece. This story is just like, maybe it's better that he found it after his mother passed. So he didn't have to have the conversation with her. What the fuck is this, mom?

Like, you know what? I, okay, he's 37 years old. Yes. He is actively looking through his parents' house for cash, right? Well, number one. And again, also going to keep some of the food. What is? What's the saddest thing in the world?

I've been there. Right? When you are looking through your parents' house, see what you could sell. You could sell. I remember going through my parents' drawers, looking for pills, which is how I found the fact that my father used the same condoms of my mother that was the same brand of condom that he bought for me in high school to teach me about safe sex. That's how, these are the lessons you learn when you go snooping in your parents' house.

You don't look into secrets of a parents' house because they keep weird secrets that are boomer secrets. I'll never forget when I found my mother because there was this, and I think they still exist, but like the turkey, the chicken cutlets, the thing that pushes up your boobs. This has come up several times in the last couple of weeks. Well, it's wild because it's very soft and it's fun to play with, and my mom did catch me playing with that. I think I've already told this story.

Yes. But I was like, okay. He's fascinating for you. But so, you go and you look for, you're looking for whatever's that nailed down to you. And what if you, what kind of ghoul would be expecting a baby? No one. The ghoul would be like, hopefully this one has my sister who died, or it also, again, you're looking for cash.

You're like, this has got to be fucking it yet. Yeah. This has got to be it, man. My ship's coming in today, buddy. Why would she keep her money in the freezer? I don't know. I guess you can keep coins in there. I guess so.

But you don't need to keep them fresh. But this story is like, this story is so disgusting. So according to Mr. Smith, he said, this is a quote of like, how did this baby look? He said, it still had skin hair and everything. It still had skin hair and everything. It was mummified. And he said, after that, I freaked out, put it in a box and called the police right away. He used to try to talk to his mom about this thing, right?

And he said, I've asked her several times and she always said it was a no-no conversation or just blew me off. My mom always has been selective about things. My mom has always been secretive about things in her life. And they're thinking this baby was anywhere from 46 to 47 years old. So she got a baby in her freezer for almost half a century. And then finally, I mean, this is like, again, I don't know, people, this is just a reminder. You never, like, oh, that's a nice grandma over there.

She's really sweet. She makes it. And then she opens up her freezer every night and kisses, just, there you are. I knew you wouldn't run away. I knew you'd stay with your mommy forever, give her little kisses, and give her kisses. And I'm going to put a military uniform on her because it is Memorial Day. I want to remember all the fallen soldiers. You would have been such a beautiful soldier.

I think you were a girl. I think it was, yeah. Oh, my God. But I mean, just anything that you eat out of that freezer has been covered with miscarriage dust. I think the dude we talked about last week, where he froze to death in the freezer, anything that it was taken out of that freezer, it's just really, really close to a corpse. And I'm just going to say that doesn't make it more edible to me.

No, it doesn't. Also, again, how many times it comes up on this show, straight up, stop freezing everything for forever. So this dude, now I got to give Adam Smith some credit here. He says, I'm more confused than angry. He says, I just want to find closure. I want to find answers. And this is the last paragraph.

It says, despite the disturbing discovery, Smith said he still needs help to pay for his mother's funeral. And then it clicks to a GoFundMe page. Great. So he's like, I don't- Yeah, man, he was looking for a catch. You know what? Just put her in the freezer. Why don't you just give her what she's always wanted?

I have no idea, but it's just such a funny switch and be like, oh yeah, by the way, if you want to help with the funeral, it's like, no, why do I want to help with your mother's funeral? She's like, I don't know this woman. The only thing I know about her is that she kept a fetus in her freezer for almost 50 years. And it just shows you what her memories were important to her. I guess so.

And that's what this is about. And sometimes you get in a packrat this way. But I think it is better that it wasn't like a GoFundMe for his sketch about like a film shoot about how he's like, this is Tickle Me Emma, but what if Tickle Me Emma was a real pedophile? And you're like, oh, great, cool, cool sketch. Oh man, what about Pickle Me Elmo, just that Elmo that eats a lot of pickles? Another failure.

But maybe that's saving lives. Maybe it is like this woman. You know for a fact, everyone's like, oh, she's a little crazy because she would just like point to her refrigerator and be like, my child's in there. Might be like, no, ma'am, your child is not in the front. My child is in there. She seems to think this tub of I can't believe it's not butter as her child. What is wrong with this woman?

I want to talk about an update on the two, those two lovers. By the way, we did not have the information. We were trying to be compassionate and that's what we get by giving people the benefit of the doubt. Honestly, these two kids are neo-Nazis, the two kids out of Canada, right? I knew for a fact that they were not going to be like the most innocent boys on the face of the planet. I wasn't quite expecting Edward Norton from, uh, from, uh, what was the name of that?

American history X. No, these guys are, they're two losers, they're now alone in the woods and apparently they are absolutely trapped after kill. So according to Ian Austin of the New York times, after killing three people and burning a camper in British Columbia, the two teenagers headed east, the police say, and then the road ran out and one of Canada's most isolated places linked by a road on the edge of the Hudson Bay, Lowlands and Manitoba, heavily armed officers with dogs, drones, helicopters in an armored vehicle, are hunting for the two suspects in bush, swamp and forest. And basically what they're saying is this is one of the wildest areas of the world.

And recent helicopter footage showing as they went to go look for them, they just found two polar bears that are the most dangerous, like one of the more dangerous land animals they hunt humans for sport. I wouldn't mess with them. So maybe what we have to do is deputize the polar bears and be like, yo, you go get them. Why are these, these are just two, I understand they're dangerous 18, 19 years old, but they're not predator. Why did they come out? They came at them with like all guns blazing. Well, it's because the, all of BC is shut down right now. There are people saying it's like, I can't sleep. You never know when these teenagers are gonna come in the night.

That is the difference between Canada and America because in America, we talked about this last, it is just like someone just starts licking their gun. Yeah, most 18 year olds have guns. Now, according to Alan Schmigelski, the father of Breyer Schmigelski, he, according to him, he believes that they're going to commit suicide in a video of him just crying on a stoop. He says he wants his hurt to end. They're gonna go out in a blaze of glory. They've been talking about how these boys are now on some form of suicide mission, some sort of just beautiful young boy exploring each other, romp deep in the forest somewhere. I imagine they're huddled together in an empty log, just for

warmth, slowly kissing each other's eyelids and holding each other knowing that even if the whole world explodes, what they did last night when that polar bear was sniffing them and they had to pretend like they weren't inside of each other, which is getting beautiful and wonderful. I mean, it must have been so dangerous, it must have spiked it, but apparently, so Breyer Schmigelski was found with several pictures of Nazi paraphernalia. He had a knife that was called like, it was like a knife that was called blood and gershk. It was this blood and, where is this blood and valour or some bullshit that was in the other knife next to a Nazi flag, but according to Alan Schmigelski, he's like, he's not some kind

of neo-Nazi, he just collected Nazi paraphernalia because he thought it was cool. I think that's what makes you a neo-Nazi unless you are an active historian who has a museum and, you know, is not posing with the Nazi paraphernalia next to a swastika. You are not. That is the difference. Because also, the guys that are in the Nazi reenactment parts of the World War II reenactors are also not the most popular. No, definitely not. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, the father is a victim in his own

right, but I gotta say, okay, you're the dad of this kid, you didn't see this coming, like how weak do you have to be? You have to know that your kid is gonna do something dangerous, he's posing with all these weapons, he's a neo-Nazi. I just watched another, it was not Children of Rage, it was another, I believe it was called My Killer Child, it was an HBO documentary, it was like My Dangerous Son, it might have been called, but these parents, they don't, you don't really know the inner lives of your child unless you're completely up their assholes, and they're 18 years old.

They're 18 years old, there's really not a lot you can do to control it. The dude is beside himself, and I actually wonder, because at first, yes, because I'm, that is my reaction too, right? My parents knew that I was drinking, but they're like, okay, just let him, but if I had like a bunch of guns and a bunch of Nazi paraphernalia, I think we would have had a conversation. My mom was like, big brother, nothing was, no information, I thought that I could be kept secret, could be kept secret for very long, but also I didn't really care about hiding it, Jackie lived the whole second life that she had for my mother, but that was different

because she was good at school, my mom just wanted to get me, I didn't get A's because I was bad at doing all of the work, I was good at taking tests, but I was bad at being a student. Well that's the hard part, yeah. The stuff, all the hours of work, all that homework and stuff, it is amazing because I was a good, great friend, but she would go in, my mom would sneak around and ask my teachers what was up, she went through all my fucking drawers, she went through all of that shit.

And my mom used to take it to the next level, and this is why I know for a fact, my parents would have been like, no, you can't be doing all this Nazi stuff. My brother had some porno, and he hid it behind a bush, and my mom called the principal and over the PA system, they said, Eric Kissel, report to the office, your mother says she found your stash, now little did she know, it was all penthouse forum, and little did she know that he was gay, because I think now they probably went and publicly humiliated him for looking at naked women, but who knows, I don't know what their thoughts were. But my god, this father, I mean, what's the other, the other dude's dad is just like,

yeah, he's a jerk off, I never liked him, like where's the other dude's dad? The other dude's dad, he has not really come out for comment, he said that they've been barricaded within their own home by press, they say that their son was a kind, considerate, and caring young man. If I were to, obviously, this is full backseat homicide detective, but I imagine that Briar Shmigelsky is the driving force, and that Cam was kind of like going along to get along with his buddy, that ended up like kind of what we saw with Dylan and Eric from Colin, that always seems to be an aggressor, and then somebody who was paired up with them

that's sort of like a facilitator, like a squire, that's the term I'll use. And the Goibles men, for the Nazi references out there. They are now out in the middle of isolated Canada, they are going to die, they may have, they stole and tell you to found your Gillum, was also left burning, provided investigators were the clue of their whereabouts, so they had already stolen on the car, it's like home alone with the wet bandits, why do you have to burn all of the cars, it's going to be a pretty big indicator that you're the one who stole it, if all of the cars that you steal, you burn.

And they are, they are legitimately, I think they are just sitting in the fucking, just alone in the woods. These dudes are just going to walk out one of these days with their hands up, super hungry and just be like, can I get a protein bar, I really don't care, they have to be, they're sewing over their heads right now. They lowlands have large areas of peat floating on water that can give way easily, walkers could fall through, ponds and streams frustrate anyone trying to cross on foot, the black spruce trees that dominate may not be large, but they have unusually dense needles, making

them ideal for hiding but disorienting for anybody crossing through the bush. I mean if this wasn't the case of people who committed triple homicide allegedly, triple homicide, this is just Frodo and Samwise, this is just a fun journey, they could have just gone to the woods and done this without murdering all those people, it makes it so much more fun to be gay if you're also violent. I'm certain it does and they said also the insects, according to Mr. Shawchuck, they're on full force, they're like crazy. Oh the insects are on full force, red alert for insects?

They're straight up think that they could die in the bush but just because they're lying in the bog that it could swallow their remains and they said, the final message from the homicide detective was like, why the hell did they come here? And it's so dangerous, it's cool, it's dangerous animals, it's completely impassable and now they're just, they're just in there. I do love that the homicide detective is just surprised they have a visitor, they're like whoa, you know someone came here, yeah it's triple homicide, we actually have to go find them, they came here?

I gotta tell you, it's been a busy summer, a horse got loose last week, we had those murderers come, that was nice and do you know the Oscar Meyer hot dog van is supposed to come through sometime within the next six to eight months. Wow, an exciting time in that part of Canada. It's a hot dog van out here, I love that. Because we don't believe in wasting all the resources of having a full dog out there, it's just a van with a picture on that hot dog on the side of it but if you talk to one of the hot girls, if you talk to one of the hot dog boys in there because it's never

a woman. No. It's always a man but you'll get a discount. You will get a discount and let's be honest here, being a hot dog, being the Oscar Meyer Wiener hot dog driver is extremely difficult, you're supposed to be bilingual and you gotta set everything up because now they got all these TV screens and then you have to host this whole thing. English and fat guy?

Yeah, you're supposed to do both, hello, welcome to the show and wow, welcome to the show. That is how it's supposed to go, it's really difficult to become the Oscar Meyer Wiener guy. I'd better be, I would like to imagine if you are driving the, an actual hot dog shaped the ambassadorship from the Oscar Meyer Wiener family then you should be very responsible. And there's another thing we should talk about with Jackie because Jackie is the hot dog ambassador of, is it New Jersey?

Montclair, I really don't know. But if she wants it, she needs to get her trucker's license. She, Jackie needs to get her trucker's license. It's a good fall back. Although she doesn't know how to ride a bike so maybe get on a bike and then get into a car because she doesn't even drive a car right now. No. So maybe, maybe start small.

I actually kind of want to get her on some roller skates. Yeah, dude, that's great. Work on the balance. I mean, you're a Zabrowski. You guys are short. We're built for driving. Yeah. Built for driving and you don't, you can't knock you guys over.

Yeah. So I don't even understand how you guys didn't learn how to ride a bike. Very flimsy as soon as I got wheeled from underneath me, I fall right down. Fly from your clay, fly from your clay. Well, this next story, this one, let's talk about this Instagram influencer. This is really scary. This is what, this is the second week in a row or two out of three weeks, we've talked about an Instagram influencer, uh, really, it's been in the news quite a bit and I feel

like it's one of those blood in the water scenarios where these stories pop up kind of in waves. Right. Absolutely. So be careful. This is like a public service announcement. Be very careful on social media. So this is an influencer, Ekaterina Kara Glanova.

Very good. I'm trying my best. She was found, oh my God, she was found stabbed and stuffed into a suitcase. This is just a beautiful girl. There's a picture of her. She's kind of doing the duck face thing. She has 85,000 Instagram followers and no one knows who did this yet, but she had recently started a new relationship and had planned a holiday trip to the Netherlands to celebrate

her birthday. That was going to be on July 30th. Her parents grew extremely concerned when they she, when they tried to contact her and she was like not answering. So they contacted her landlord and requested access to her apartment. That's where they found the body. That's where they found the suitcase containing her body in the hallway. They called an ambulance.

They still don't know who did this, but she regularly posted herself on Instagram. Her followers likened her appearance to the film star, Audrey Hepburn. So this is just a super. She is very beautiful. She's absolutely gorgeous. And if you look at the Instagram photo there, Henry, she does look like Audrey Hepburn. She does look like Audrey Hepburn. So strange.

And so we think people become obsessed with someone from afar. We actually received a email about this not too long ago that was very, very interesting. It's a syndrome that has been around. They say since the 1950s called parasocial interaction. Okay. We talked about this a little bit. I'm not really certain. It was coined by Donald Horton and Richard Wol in 1956 and refers to a kind of a psychological

relationship experienced by an audience and their mediated encounters with performers in the mass media, particularly it says on television. But I now think those is back when they were first formulating it and now moves, I think very easily towards the internet. Oh, absolutely. Because think about this kind of shit, right? Is that at least on TV and movies, there's kind of an elevated difference between who that person is and you and you can follow a Chris Pratt on Twitter.

And the thing about what the internet then does is that I think subtly psychologically is that it takes these people and puts them right in league with your friends that you know every day. It levels the playing field. Yeah. So E-Caterina is in your Instagram feed, just like your other normal friends, just like any other celebrities. So you begin to grow a one-sided, very deep relationship with this person.

And then now we're seeing this concept of orbiters and these because of the speed of social media and the constant refresh of content and the influx of different people's voices and all this kind of shit. I think it ramps up that attachment. Absolutely. And people, you know, we do as well. We post personal things, you know, to relate to people and obviously we have a product to give them, which is all of our podcasts and live shows and things like that.

If you are an Instagram influencer, you really are giving yourself. And this isn't, you know, this is, but you are giving a part of yourself to the world. You look at the Kardashians. Yes. They have made their bed and that's why it's like every facet of their life is something that people think that they have or should have access to. So you start blurring that line. And as we talked about a couple of weeks ago with the murder of the other Instagram, what

was her name? Bianca Devans. Bianca Devans. As we talked about Bianca Devans, these people really have this strong relationship in their mind. You're also, then you also wonder, because this shit that also like gives me the fucking, makes the hairs in the back of my neck stand up is that as I'm reading about this, this parasocial interaction concept is that they have been using this technique.

They have been using the, the parasocial interaction as a wage to gauge success in social media and web traffic. So it's, it does get to a point almost being like, are the companies, for the sake of driving eyeballs to the advertisers embedded in these various posts, are they truly beginning to drive us insane by using these techniques, using the quick hidden door friends of likes and all kinds of shit. We're like, we are locked in this constant, what we believe is a, a speaking like an actual relationship with somebody that exists on the internet, which is an entire persona.

Yeah. Even that person that you're seeing on the internet, maybe a section of that is real, but it is highly curated and it's completely, it is put there for your viewership. And as we see, you know, sometimes we get sent that meme where it's the girl staring at the poster of her three friends and it's always like me listening to the last podcast. Now anyone with a normal brain is like, they understand that's like, it's great. You know, that's fun. But once you start going, you just need one crazy person, one person who is a little bit

sick and it seems like this isn't new, the stalking and murdering of women. This is also, you know, there's, there's not, it's not a coincidence. Of course. And then we're talking about this in the context of men killing women. But now we're looking at, I just wonder, but it's interesting about how the thing that seems to be what might be sort of killing the human race from the outside, like kind of what the, if we could get past the speed bump of what social media is doing to us, like maybe we'll have a chance to evolve.

But what they're doing now is putting us inward at each other on purpose, like they're generating these relationships because they want you to be addicted to the app. They don't care about the relationships that are happening. Absolutely. Within the app, they just want you on the app and never leaving the app. When I got off of Twitter there, when I just deleted that app, it really was like an unshackling and now I can go back and dip my toe in, but I really was like in that world. Yes.

And it was super real. It was hyper intense. And they want you to be there. Absolutely. They want you to be at that point. They want you to be compulsively checking it. And what that does is for 99% of the population that normally leads to, you know, yeah, you will end up buying more things or advertise to you and you will just like go watch the

content that is there and it is completely harmless. But for the 1% that becomes sort of weaponized by this, it is, I mean, I feel like we're going to hit a lot more of these circumstances, like these murders and fucked up weird online community spillovers in a real life to create true chaos. I think we're going to see more and more of that as we go. And maybe this comes down to self-policing. I don't think this can be legislated out as a matter of fact. I'm going to talk about this on Abel Lincoln's Toppat this week with Travis.

There's a GOP senator that wants to stop the addiction of websites. So his big idea, and we won't get into too much details. You got to wear, you got to wear a clamp on your dick. You got to wear a clamp. But his big idea is to get rid of autoplay. And it's like, it's not autoplay. Autoplay is like, oh, the video is they just start up again. And it's like, no, you freaking moron.

I tell you all that how many times I sit alone in a hotel room, and I just watch one video of two boys jumping on a trampoline, and it just sends me another and another and another and another. And next thing I know, it's three days later, and Donald Trump is president. Isn't that something? So this is going to be more of a cultural thing. And maybe it's like time to self-please. And if you see people acting like total creeps and posting on these Instagrams, I don't even

know. Like they're out, but then I... That's just hard to think. Parasocial interactions are not completely, like, bad, right? It's actually kind of, it's just kind of how our brains work. They're neutral. So it's about, like, how do we make sure, as people that are contra providers, like people that do this kinds of things, who are entertainers, especially on the internet, they tell people,

like, you need to take care of yourself. You must do it. We can't save you. We can't do it. You can't create that where I think a lot of people kind of create this feedback loop where they Yes, they like you end up like liking the attention of all of these people and then it kind of poisons your own Well now and also we have this we have a new rung. There's a new layer of fat on celebrity the The celebrity fan. There's a professional wrestling fan who sits front row of all the ww and he is now king fan and

You know, so now he is a celebrity amongst fans for being a fan It just continues the the ripple effect of celebrity just continues going on and now he's an influencer as well It's a whole new if you know what entertaining ourselves to death. Yeah, that's a great. That is a great book. Yeah Also, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I want to congratulate the people. I'm not sure I'm gonna make these people hero of the week. Let's do hero of the week really quick Awesome by the way that new hero of the week song done by Mackie. Thank you. Good work. Yeah It's awesome. So this week's hero of the week and I don't even know their names But it is whoever was brave enough to go to a giant supermarket. It is just called giant supermarket

It is a normal size supermarket and they put ice cream cones those really classic ice was a giant or is it a giant eagle? I think it's just giant supermarket. I'm pretty sure they put ice cream cones Still in the box all around Marty and then Marty was like, I don't know how to deal with all this I don't know why Marty sounds like puffin. I don't know nonetheless You are the hero of the week for standing up against the tyranny that Marty has Made us confront every single time we go to the supermarket and I will say this new fun pastime Watching robots try to figure out life. I it's interesting. I think you're slowly falling in love with robots They're working their way in wait. I I just

First of all be I'd say be comforted by the fact that they are this easy to stop for now I'm I still get in my holes of Boston Dynamics videos. I love it is so scary Anyway, but we could talk about that forever and ever I still have not seen a Marty though in real life. I know we will in the Midwest when we go That's we're not gonna tell you when but we have some dates coming up in the Midwest. We got to go. Yeah, can't wait All right, but we also have we've got an email I want to read this email because I love this man tell you might think that this is boring But I love this kind of shit because I talked about it a little bit last week about my reality blip

And I love Philip K. Dick pkd always talks about this kind of shit about how it offers a new war view into reality So this comes from me. I Was telling my wife about Henry's reality blip story from the last episode and she urged me to tell my story So here it goes. All right this was last October November and During a period where we had a few other weird and creepy things happen in our home over a three to four week period on one incident We heard a crash in our kitchen around midnight after we went to bed at 11 ish We walked out in a pan that we washed after dinner and set by the kitchen sink was on the floor on the other side of the kitchen

Island 15 feet from the sink where my wife doesn't like to talk about that one My reality blip story revolves much like Henry's around a piece of jewelry Specifically my wedding ring. I woke up one morning and it was not in its normal place by my sink I spent 15 minutes looking for it and had to go to work and asked my wife to look that day By that evening it still had not turned up. I tore that bathroom apart Including taking apart the drain and pipes to make sure it hadn't gone down the drain I was worried sick and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't find it I searched the drawers the cabinets moved everything in there that was not nailed down, but no luck

It was missing for four days and every day I just lost more hope that I would find it the fifth day I get up in the morning took my usual shower and when I picked up my deodorant my ring was sitting underneath it I literally just sat my deodorant down Walked into the bedroom to get my wife and said you got to see this shit when I showed her where it was She just stared at me like I was possessed and said no way you are messing with me it freaked us both out I've attached a couple of pictures and shows that his deodorant just barely covers it She like he shows it. It's like wobbly on top of it sitting on the sitting on top of it

He said it was literally plain as day in the middle of the counter I was a hundred percent convinced that my wife was messing with me But she swears to this day that she also searched for it and could not find it Interesting well, thank you so much for the story and I got a lot of also messages about the Lyme disease spread The idea of what I'm reading the book currently and again It's not really about the fact that they purposely released ticks with Lyme's Lyme disease is that perchance? There was an accidental release of some of these things that we're working on Is it scarier though that it's just going to be like

It's gonna be all accidental. It's just gonna be a goofy janitor. That's like the comic relief of every horror movie I went and I I researched a little bit about a high security Disease centers where you do research on some of these things where they call gain functionality basically where they take old like old Fucking diseases that they were like trapped in ice and shit. They try to see if they can bring them back to life Yeah, why wouldn't you of course, but they it's this whole weird Deregulated area where it's this kind of no rules land where people are trying to figure out how to To set up proper parameters and even within these high security

Like centers. There's over six hundred accidental releases that have happened of ancient flues It's gonna be this whole thing. It's exciting. It's gonna be like the mummy It's good like this whole thing is just gonna happen because someone showed up to work hungover slipped on literally a grape and then Just smashes a vial worth of the full of the bubonic plague and we're all gonna die because of it I have another good wiggity story. This comes from tea My parents separated when I was nine and by the time I was 13 I'd moved from Norfolk East Anglia to Southeast London with the moon I would visit my dad who still lived in Norfolk every summer. I didn't have a bedroom at my dad's

Yeah, his was is a bit shit and Would always sleep on an airbed in the living room. Oh come on. That's the best your dad can do Come on your new single father. I don't know It's just sounds like a lot of it was everything was it was a rough summer At the far end of the living room was a pair of glass patio doors that looked into the garden easily visible from the airbed One summer a friend came with me So I gave up the airbed and would sleep on the sofa from the sofa a partition wall obscured my view of the patio doors We were chatting late at night as a pair of teenage girls are prone to do and when my friend suddenly froze

She was visibly scared shaking with wide eyes I asked her what was wrong and she stammered as if she was hard. It was hard to speak Bright light very bright light moments later She was fine and couldn't explain what she had seen or why it had scared her to be honest I wrote it off as bullshit This was until another visit a couple of years later I was probably around 15 and it stayed up late watching TV I finally settled down for the night and was laying on my back awake

But with my eyes closed despite the fact my eyes were closed I got the sense that a bright light had been switched on Annoyed assuming that someone had turned the light on to come downstairs I opened my eyes prepared to shoot visceral moody teenager looks at the culprit Oh, however, the light was not coming from the stairs or the fitting above me But from the patio doors still in bed I looked down past my feet towards the doors and saw a large round ball a prox half a meter across of Intensely bright light

Suspended around six feet from the ground. It looked the whole room and I was filled with intense and overwhelming Heart-pounding throat closing panic. I threw the duvet over my head held my breath and lay very still moments later The feeling had vanished and I could tell the room had darkened I had technically poked my head out of the duvet and look towards the patio doors. Nothing. I Didn't get to sleep that night. She said I was wide awake and I was physical and I am physically moved Wow, she was not a dream or it was not sleep paralysis. That's what she was saying, right? Very cool Very very interesting. You know, I love orbs. Of course, you know, I love. I know you love orbs Thank you for sending me your old stories because they're very interesting because I think that is I think it might be fucking

energy beings I think it's possible once we go post by all biological. There's gonna be a lot of amazing things. I love it All right, everyone.
