There's no place to escape to.
This is the last talk.
On the left.
Side stories.
What?
What's your glade?
That's when the cannibalism started.
Side stories.
Side stories.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, kissle.
Yaaas.
To be amongst the little people.
No.
My kind.
Why?
A fairy-kin.
You're not a fairy-kin.
Oh, yes I am.
No, they're tinier and cuter than you.
You're not a fairy-kin.
You're not a fairy-kin.
Oh, yes I am.
No, they're tinier and cuter than you.
I am the fairy-kin.
And you'll see once we go back to Jolly Old UK, man.
Woo-hoo.
And go there amongst my little people.
The United Kingdom.
Is that it?
The UK.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, but isn't it in disarray currently?
Yeah, like everything else.
They're just like us after all.
I'm kind of scared.
I'm excited.
When we go over there, it's like when you go across.
So in England, do you have to change hats when you now leave?
Or is it just like another country?
From the fedora into more of a western style?
I'm not quite sure.
Do I have to wear like a wooden hat when we're in Amsterdam?
If you want to be cool.
I don't know because I know they have the wood shoes.
Do they wear those all the time?
Well, no.
I don't know if they ever wore those.
I think they're more for decoration.
We had a couple in my house when I was growing up.
Oh, but did you not leave them?
Did you not have to go and like put the wood shoes out front of your house and then you
pee in them so Dutch Santa comes?
Is that what happens?
Like don't you put the little wooden shoes out and then you're different or whatever
his name is.
Father Hinterland, like he comes and he like squats over them and then he leaves his eggs.
Yeah.
I love that.
I don't know.
I'm asking you.
You're the one.
You're the closest person with that sort of representation.
Well, I went to Amsterdam when I was 19.
I don't recall that, but I can't wait to be at Amsterdam soon.
Welcome to Side Stories, everyone.
Ben hanging out with Henry here.
It's me.
Really trying to figure out the cultural differences that we're about to experience
when we go to Europe.
You know what I won't do ever?
Research.
What?
I won't even look it up.
I'm not going to go.
I'm not going to buy a travel book because what I like to do is and maybe you know this
as well as side stories.
I like to imagine what could be true and then just follow up on that with myself.
And then what I do is I ask other people who don't know like you or even Marcus who sometimes
let's just be honest, pretends to know.
He'll pretend to know a lot of stuff, but he only knows what he read in his books.
His books.
His little books.
I make up stuff that I know every day.
And a lot of it holds because you find out a lot of times I'll say something that's completely
out of my ass.
And then some expert somewhere is like, Henry actually wasn't too far from incorrect.
And that makes you almost right.
Yep.
There you go.
And you just made it up.
Educated guesses or educated misguesses.
Either way, we're coming from an educated position of mostly stereotypical beliefs of
the Dutch.
I just don't know anything about them.
And so I just make stuff up.
I know they sleep really well.
And I don't know.
How do you know that?
Just because I feel like they're sleepy people.
I feel like if you're Dutch, that's actually very strange for a culture that's actually
very centered around clocks.
Exactly.
The things they call clocks.
But I feel like there'd be a lot of pressure.
Then every time you go to sleep, all yours.
But that's how you go to sleep because that's their version of white noise.
Like how I have to sleep with a fan.
They have to sleep with a slow tick of death.
Yeah.
I always sleep with some guy in my room.
Just go.
Yeah.
Go to sleep.
It is football season after all.
Night boner indeed.
Well speaking of night boners, she's not a hero, but I just stumbled upon this article.
Remember Boy Meets World?
You just wait a second.
No, this is not.
We're not just talking about the pros and cons of Maitland Ward on this episode.
I love her.
She's obviously very talented at what she does.
Boy met the world.
And he also met the world.
You're just talking about Maitland Ward, who was in Boy Meets World, who now does porn.
Yes.
And we'd love to have her on the show.
Yeah.
You didn't take the scoop from me?
This is not a scoop.
This has been around for years.
People have known.
That's not news.
Well she said that porn liberated her from Hollywood.
It did.
It liberated her from work in Hollywood.
But that's why it's very difficult because she actually does a much harder job than acting
in a sitcom, which is taking it in a bunch of holes.
Because that actually is much more difficult and I would actually put forth much more useful
to society.
Well, absolutely.
She was a soap opera actress.
I will say I was watching this one video.
This has nothing to do with Maitland Ward.
But it's a good shift.
But I was like, I'm not ready to shift for you.
It doesn't really matter.
I was watching a video with this like little young girl.
She was sick.
She was going to be dead soon with cancer.
Yeah.
Why were you watching this?
It was this obstacle course they were dragging her through.
And I always actually felt it was very inappropriate.
No, that's not true.
She was in hospice.
You already have so much anxiety, so much stress.
OCD.
It's been diagnosed.
Sure.
Why watch children dying?
Because at least it's them.
Because that doesn't make me feel worse when it's in a full grown adult who had something
to live for.
Kids don't know.
You get like a version of emotional shot in Freud when you watch somebody else's die
being like, nah, nah, nah, nah.
I stumbled.
I stumbled there.
But it was she was being serenaded.
It was a very beautiful video being serenaded by Florence and the machine.
It was very sad.
I really actually got very emotional watching it.
How did she know who Florence and the machine were?
You know, it was a tie.
It was like she was like not that young.
Okay.
And this was a video from a while ago, right?
Got it.
But I was kind of thinking like, that's going to be so fucked up that if you got cancer
and you're lying in bed and you know you're dead.
And but like maybe you have a glimmer of hope.
And then you turn to the doctor and you say, hey, hey, like, what's going on?
How am I doing?
How am I test coming back?
And he's just like, before we get to that, just so you know, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith
is here.
And it's like, that's how you know you're dying.
And then any grandmother that's really thin looks like they could clack, can walk into
the room and you'll be so blind at that point.
No clue.
Like, oh, it's Steven Tyler.
And then they talk about having sex and elevators with you.
You know how many times I get called in to be Paul Giamatti for people in hospice?
And it's sad for them.
Cause then I just go like, I can just make a bunch of noises.
And then they're like, I love you in billions.
All you have to say is yes.
Yep.
Yep.
Wow.
That's such an unbelievably great, corrupt, disgusting Hollywood offshoot business.
The Booker for Hospice.
The Booker that books knockoff celebrities for hospice, like Nicholas Cage with a K instead
of a C.
You know, when Michael Jackson shows up to see you off to the River Styx.
That's a lot.
I mean, but again, you know what I'd like to do is work.
It's impossible to make a living these days as actors.
It's very difficult.
It's really difficult.
But that's what I was saying.
If we're going to do this, right?
I'm going to book me something.
Let's do one.
I'm 60.
All right.
Like, I know it's technically like, let's book it while we're alive.
Like what you say about how like the United States, like birthdays are for the dying,
but truthfully, wouldn't it be nice to have one of those like a pre-funeral where you
can go and you can like have the funeral so you can hear all the good stuff that everybody
says and not just be dead.
People do that.
I've seen people do that.
And I don't, I don't really like birthdays very much.
And I find the, the fake funeral thing, I don't know, actually now that I'm thinking about
it, it would be nice to force people to dress up and cry, but then they wouldn't really
be that sad.
I don't need it to be normal.
No one would ever be sad enough.
No, no, I don't want, because again, the funeral part, I'm glad I'm not there to see them
all be sad at the funeral, but it'd be nice to get all the glee, get all that juice of
like all the confidence from when you, and like, I guess technically that's a retirement
party.
But now we're not, we don't do that anymore.
But for life, a retirement party, for life, yes, I don't think anyone would go to your
real funeral then because they'd be like, we already did it.
Who cares, I don't know, I wouldn't even, this is my, this is Alinda coming out.
Who cares?
It's not like I would be there to notice.
That's true.
And your mother, she's already upset with how you've reacted to her at her funeral and
what you've done.
She's already upset with you.
But it's not enough.
It's just because I'm not there going like, like, it's not me with mascara dripping down
my face with the veil on, singing some Whitney Houston song like that.
She's already mad that that's not going to happen.
She doesn't know what's going to happen.
You're about this one guy who thought he was Satan and Jesus.
I mean, God, we are all, we are all multiples, aren't we?
Some days I wake up and I don't know which I am.
It was this guy who was in Boone County, which, you know, that's where Satan and Jesus is
going to live inside of one vessel, which actually sounds like a cute sitcom.
What was the name of that movie with the animated characters inside of the brain, inside out?
Inside out, but it's a devil.
But with Satan and Jesus living inside of one person, be like, how the fuck do we get
here, man?
Yeah.
Take your cock out, but ask the woman if she wants to see it.
They go, very good.
Well, anyway, this guy, he cut off his own leg in front of a five year old and then he
was just found with his leg gone naked in the front yard.
So you never know what you're, that's the one thing again about the place where we do
realize you got a call today.
You woke up and you just like having your coffee and you're like, we're getting a call
in the Boone County house and then you just show up, there's a naked dude with one leg
that he's thought off, who believes he's Satan and Jesus.
Well, he did it in front of his own five year old daughter and he said, hey, Kissel, before
you jump on this, he said he did it to show her something and to teach her a lesson.
Now the couple, I don't know, 48 year old Shannon Cox, and that's a male Shannon, with
the Sandy Cox who is 30, right?
Her name is Sandy Cox.
Sandy Cox, which is fun because again, you're going to want to give that a wipe before you
jump in.
That's hard about beef sex.
Absolutely.
Well, you wouldn't think this story took place in Florida, but this is actually Arkansas
with all those Sandy Cox.
It is fun.
But he said, he determined, the investigators showed up because we actually, we covered
this.
This is just now we know what happened, like we covered this man with an amputated leg
before.
There's a couple of things that have popped up several times on the show this week for
some reason specifically that we actually have explanations for.
But it was a huge chop saw that it said that he painted blood all over the inside of his
house and was in front of his own, his front of his own child.
But he said what he found him is that this is what sad is that again, if you believe
that Jesus is telling you to chop off your own leg in front of your family, to teach
them a lesson about like, are you going to trust, I guess, but if you do that, I don't,
they found him screaming on the front lawn.
Yeah.
I'll be like, I'm bleeding to death, I'm fucking bleeding to death.
Yeah.
Real Matthew Lillard moment for him.
I think he went a little too deep.
But it's like you did it, bro.
He did do it.
Sandy Cox, his lovely, lovely wife, oh mama, she said, she's cute, but she said, yeah,
you know, Shannon was acting odd all day.
Yeah.
Acting odd all day.
And I always say that when my friends are acting a little off, just like, oh, next
step, he's going to cut off his own leg.
Well, anyway, he was escalating, right?
And he kept saying that the husband's threats at the home, they were turning, they never
quickly, they never completely turned to physical abuse.
Yeah.
He was kind of, he was due to verbal abuse.
But then eventually she said, well, things had to change, but she still left the child
home alone with Shannon when she went to do some errands.
And it wasn't until she came back that she found out that he had done this.
Right.
And she said, there was a damaged vehicle was present on the property.
The hood was up, a 20 pound propane canister was sitting on the battery on and say, this
is just, this is just normal for Boone County.
It's very possible.
Because how many times you go there?
Like, I think you can tell the potential worth of any one of these homes by how many
inoperable washing machines they have on the stoop, like out on the front porch, because
that's money.
Just sit there.
I learned something from American pickers.
Sometimes these washing machines can be vintage.
That's what I'm saying.
That they never go through.
I view it obviously because, you know, because we don't know, we understand, we throw a judgment.
We think it's just a trash pile.
I don't always throw a judgment.
I've driven by a few homes.
As a matter of fact, there was one recently in San Antonio, a lot of chickens around.
Yep.
And then the chickens, that's money too.
That's money.
Good eggs.
Exactly.
There's for pillows, something you can fuck.
Well, okay.
That's a problem.
That's where it's at a renewable source unless you make it, unless you keep the eggs.
Absolutely.
Well, that's the whole point.
There's a small truck that did look like it was inoperable, but I also said, someone
can fix that up.
This is what I'm saying.
I want to get, I want to become trash king.
You know the trash is out there.
Money.
I know this.
I know this.
This money in trash.
We've been saying this.
We've talked about this for years.
You talk about how like there's the inner barter, the barter system just came up in the Charles
Dark where they're serious.
Absolutely.
About the bartering system inside of the sanitation department, about how that's free as money.
It's crazy.
Just sit there.
It's crazy.
And that's why the thing is we got to start getting trash and putting them big fields.
Right?
And then let people come.
Yeah, what should we make?
We should get into the dump business.
Buddy, honestly, I would, but we'll get killed.
I know.
That's how you die.
Because sanitation is the most dangerous union out there.
Why though, man?
Let us in.
We're the indie upstarts of the dump industry.
Don't ever find your body, but it'll be at my dump.
Don't ever find your body.
That's money.
We're getting this money on the table.
We're getting the dump.
You can use my blood for blood.
You can take all my bones and make them into a Halloween costume.
But then you're just dead.
Yeah.
That's what we look like.
My father always said where he's like, I'm with more dead than alive.
I know your father is very depressed and not expect to live as long as he did or has.
And I hope that he continues to, despite his absolute disdain for life.
But when it comes to Shannon, I don't know if she's the best mother I know when I'm
throwing shade.
Well, Shannon's the man.
And when it comes to Sandy Gax, I don't know if she's the best mother because when this
is according to Corporal Jason Briscoe and you know Corporal Jason Briscoe, Corporal
Briscoe.
Oh, God damn it, man.
This was supposed to be in the day every day.
I know.
And I also feel like that's the guy that I met two times.
What's with fucking Ohio, man?
What do you mean?
When we stopped at the gas station in Ohio, two separate ones.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what it is with you.
Men keep showing me their penis.
You have seen more dicks than any person I have ever seen in my life.
We were in that thing.
Well, obviously, this is bad.
We were at the slippery noodle in Indianapolis when the man came up to me.
I was in the urinals.
I was in there alone.
And it was like there were six urinals.
And he walked right up to the one right next to mine, going, hey, man, can you help me
out here?
He just wants you to blow him a little bit.
Can you fucking help me out here, man?
Touch it.
And he's like his pants, his front pants were open and I just kept turning my body away
from him.
And he's, God, fuck it, help me out here, man.
And then in Ohio.
The man, two men, grown men, to come to the urinal, they pulled their penis out at the
door.
And there was no reason that he walked it across the entire row.
He did walk like a deca or an iguana.
It felt like he was landing a plane.
Yeah.
We were like, there's no reason for this.
But I feel like that's where Colonel Briscoe ends up.
That's the guy we're all day.
He's just like, yeah, you know, I do whatever I can for the American government.
I just try to keep his honest.
Meanwhile, like his whole night, it's been, hey, man, can you fucking help me out here?
Help me out here.
I think they think that you're a child until you turn around and they see your beard.
But that's even worse.
Yeah.
I'm in the bathroom.
It's a slippery noodle.
They were checking IDs.
I mean, not thoroughly, but there was a line for some reason as well.
Yes, indeed.
So Sandy, why did I say I don't believe she's the best mother?
It's because when Corporal Briscoe was finished taking his ding-dong out at the local bathroom,
he asked her.
He says, quote, what I asked Sandy why she didn't take her daughter with her.
She said she was worried about Shannon killing her and wasn't worried about her daughter.
See?
So I'm going to say if I'm worried that someone's going to kill me, I would take my dogs with
me too.
Oh yeah, of course.
Because I think they could kill anything.
She definitely kind of assumed that he'd kill the daughter, but she, and then he'd
be done.
You know what I mean?
Like, oh, well.
Well, then actually, then I can start over and I get all those brownie points for being
a brief mother.
But who knows, maybe I'm incorrect, maybe she was just scared.
But also it sounded like they never really expected him to go this far.
And then what happened was, was that he cut off his own leg, I guess, to show how serious
he was that he, he himself was the battleground between Jesus and Satan.
And I guess he lost.
Yeah.
Yeah, Sandy said he was telling her that, yeah, again, he was Jesus and he needed to
get right with the Lord.
But then he would get violent towards her and then he said he was Satan.
And then he said he was going to quote, twist your head off.
That's not good.
That's like, isn't there a commercial with that?
Were you twist your head off?
There's some kind of commercial.
I mean, there was that old movie that it was on the cover with him.
Death Becomes Her.
Oh, well, that was fantastic.
Love Death Becomes Her.
That's who I remember gets the head twist.
That's great.
It's good content.
Oh, it's a fantastic film.
Why not?
Life from your grave.
Hey, what's up, everyone?
How you doing?
Ben Kissel here with Henry Zabrowski.
Yeah, it's me, man.
Yeah, bro.
Kissel Zabrowski is smoking some of that sweet last podcast on the left, babe.
Go out there and purchase yourself some.
I hope you enjoy it.
We have sativa, we have indica, and we have a hybrid.
And I have to tell you, from my personal experience, they are wonderful.
Super tasty live resin.
You really get the delicious, weedy taste, which is what I like.
And three different experiences.
You go to your local vape store and get it.
Absolutely.
Thank you all so much for supporting the show.
We absolutely love you.
Can't wait to see you on the road and get that vape.
Put it in your brain and have a good time.
And if you want to set your favorite weed store, give them a call and ask for them by
name.
Last podcast on the left, it's weed.
Hail yourselves, everyone.
Hail Satan.
There's another story, right?
So we know, we don't have our job.
You know, Fernando, like when anybody says we here at at GloboCorp, we're a family, right?
Like when they say that, well, families can be very abusive very much so you were about
to get distinctly abused, right?
You're going to be manipulated, something's going to fuck with you, but it's even worse
when they say, we here at a funky chicken restaurant, right?
We're an organization, we're a belief system, and that's because that's not good either.
And this one woman is pretty sounding like she's guilty, but she's so far only accused
of being a cult leader, but the thing is, it's all centered around chicken.
It is.
So layer Alarai, who is this woman who definitely, I mean, she just looks like a kind of like
a quote mom, like she looks pretty normal if you take a look at her, right?
She kind of look shrugging here, inspirational woman runs a, well, she was one of the people
that runs a chicken sandwich pop-up truck that actually looks really fucking good called
bad rooster.
Oh, I'd like to name bad rooster even a naughty rooster.
I know it's they use only that's what it's great because for those of you that feel guilty
about the consumption of animals, they only use animals that were prosecuted and convicted
of rape and murder.
Well, isn't that sad?
Because that's how they get them.
They go to the chicken jails.
But bad rooster serve sandwiches.
And first of all, you're like, fantastic.
Great.
What's the wrong?
Yeah.
Sure.
I bet people were devoted to the sandwiches.
I bet how many of us currently on brand human beings probably involved currently with
something called a shoe cult or jelly of the month cult because I saw you and throw it
around.
I saw your little far too aggressive Instagram post.
I think Sia is getting scared of you know, Sia retweeted, did he sees how much work
I am putting into unboxing for him?
Sia's shoes are literally the best made shoes.
I'm wearing them right now.
They're the best made shoes in the business.
And there's no there's no child factory workers.
Right.
It's just his connections really good.
But yeah, this Devlin Devlin hear me say hello to him, but this is different again.
He didn't ask for this reminds me of when you got to go meet the guy from ancient aliens
George O.
He didn't want to answer any of my questions about Zacharias such and he just wanted to
talk to all the girls in front of me, which I did not.
I literally didn't understand.
I was like, um, I'm here to actually speak of something with substance and it seems he's
just looking down the shirts of these women with nipple piercings and they don't know
why.
But again, we do it cute, we join these little cult things because now obviously we've been
a bit desensitized to it.
We think it's fun to join these things.
But the thing is that if they outwardly just say it's a cult, just because it's a post
modern cult, does it mean you're not going to end up in a bunch of trouble living in
a broom closet, doing free manual labor for a woman with the fake name of Soler Soler
Elolari, this woman, she began a lot of people so that they all got it like apparently where
she started before she got into the chicken industry was that she ran a health and wellness
expose.
She's a new age teacher.
Right.
And she started this thing.
This is again, before chicken, she's from Minnesota where she said that she would sit
people in a circle and she would channel a godlike entity known as G and deliver spiritual
guidance.
It's hacky, come on.
So everybody's done it.
Like listen, if you're going to, if we're channeling here, man, I'm doing light as a
feather stiff as a board.
That's really good.
And then you're strong enough to just lift the woman.
You're like, it's cool.
It's right.
50 bucks.
I just lifted you.
We did it in high school.
And I don't know.
I mean, but it did work.
There's a two fingers.
And you lift the person up.
He believes in magic.
Frenando just got scared.
It was, there was a weird noise.
Wow.
When you did that, was there a weird noise?
Ooh, that's magic.
I'm not going to do that to myself.
Oh, light as a feather stiff as a board.
We were all scared.
And we can rest.
And I will look what I do with myself and light as a feather, step as a board.
Oh, wow.
That's for the Patreon.
Oh, well, this is so amazing.
Again, it's like, when you know you're doing bad, when you're sick.
Oh, look at that.
He can lift the phone to his face.
Yeah.
Oh, you have a good day.
You wait today.
It's UFO calls.
All right.
So back.
So this started in 2008.
Right.
And since then, over the last 13 years, they have been, she's slowly building this group
and actually had this spiritual awakening group where she's been giving them a bunch
of feedback, you know, is that they all have now moved into her home and she's making them
all work for her for free.
And then she made this one guy, a man by the name of Terrence McCabe.
She made him go and pull out all of his retirement, his retirement savings and sell his, his stake
in his family farm for $1.5 million and he's become one third of the financiers of Bad
Rooster.
Isn't that something?
This whole chicken movement that she is now a part of.
Is he getting a return on his investment?
No, because what she is saying, unfortunately, is that up until now, what you'd have to do
is the transmissions to G you're getting longer and longer to get to.
More expensive, it almost seems like.
It's not just more expensive, but more involved because what happens is that solar will sit
everybody down and then the first thing she does is lament about how difficult it is for
her to get in touch with G.
She's having a hard time.
She's having a hard time and then she's commenting about how it's starting to seem like none
of you care about chicken and seem to only care about the life lessons that G brings
you.
And they all have to go, no, no, no, no, we're here for the chicken.
We love the chicken.
We're here for you because she wants to be, what Soler is saying is that none of you care
about Soler.
You only care about who Soler can introduce you to, right?
Like the guy that I know that can get me in touch with Devlin Carter from Messiah, right?
Like that's all they want, right?
That's all they care about.
But what about Soler?
So what she is saying, y'all need to work harder to get in touch with G. So now more
and more people are showing up and working for free for the chicken truck, right?
In order to get access to the Godhead.
Well, to be honest, she did find a way to circumvent having to pay your employees.
No, she's very technically, she's brilliant.
Yeah, it seems as if they're doing it out of their own free will.
It's quite insane.
Well, yeah, it's a cult.
Yeah, it's a cult.
Yeah, they're giving up their whole lives.
I'm taking a look here at the menu and I must say they have a thing called the naked
bird.
It does.
Yeah.
Which is again, can we fucking quit it?
Listen to me.
I'm fucking, I'm up to here with these lettuce wrap fucking garbage in this fucking country
of ours.
I get it.
I like a little, I like it in Thai food.
I like a little of lettuce wrap, but because if they put food in it, no, listen, no, I
know.
But I'm just saying, when you take a full patty of meat and then you stick a couple
of romaine slices around it, that's not a sandwich.
Just get a salad or get a sandwich, buddy, you're just holding it on my lawn.
I don't know, my friend.
I have never been so upset about that because I don't get it.
I'm a single issue voter.
Yes, you are.
But it does look as if this menu has some pretty tasty treats along with some tasty
dips.
But she ended up doing in this cult.
The problem is that she has really been pumping her people and they're getting worse and worse.
The G sessions are getting shorter and shorter.
And then what she's telling people is you can't talk to your family in fucking, it makes
you less attached to G, right?
And then like, she brings you in this thing because what she calls it is soulful journey
is what her teaching program is.
And a couple of people said that they could laugh because they wanted to be an individual.
They wanted to attend university, have friendships with people outside of the group, express myself,
cut my hair, travel, date, explore hobbies, be able to have a life.
When you're in soulful journey, you're not allowed any of that.
Well, that doesn't sound very fun.
No, it is very much so a cult.
They do have a thing called a wall of flame, which I think is kind of funny.
They say they call them mother cluckers, which isn't that unique.
Oh, you're still talking about chicken?
Yes.
And they dominated the one tender challenge, which I guess is a spicy tender.
And look at this list of men and women.
They all work there for free.
These are the people that were, oh, look at that guy.
They had a spicy wing.
I think a lot of those are plants.
I think those are plants.
I want to say, I feel like that's a, you remember when they do, what's it, the tragedy actors?
Crisis actors.
Crisis actors, it's that, but for chicken.
They just pump in these chicken fans to be taking pictures of anywhere they're there
for chicken.
They don't understand that they're also selling a soulful journey because what she also did
was that once she realized that like, all these people are like kind of like not, they're
missing a point.
They're not on a soulful journey like they need to be had all of them pay to have their
own massage classes, like they went to go take massage classes.
She made them go pay out of pocket and then come back and a part of the sessions to get
her ready to do G is that she makes everybody massage her one by one by one.
Then she can be G.
And I was just like, that makes sense.
Right?
Sure.
Exactly.
I don't know what advice G is giving, right?
It doesn't seem like it's that great because again, you're going to need another massage.
You're still just working the fryer at a chicken truck.
And I know that if it's your truck and mean something of it's you and your family's truck,
but if you're just working for this woman, you're not getting anything out of it, especially
gotten paid and not get paid.
And then what she also did was that she hired people, quote unquote hired people that live
within her home and her complex, wherever she lives, right?
Was he has people living with her?
She made them develop video game for free, two separate video games.
You know how hard this fucking shit is and she, one was called Banankee town, which I
think it's a combination of banana and donkey.
It's a banankee.
I don't know.
That's cute.
And then there's just two D three, but they never went anywhere.
They did hundreds of hours of work on a video game that we'll probably never see the light
of day.
Think about the skills that one develops while working for free like that.
Are you bad enough to go ahead with the rooster?
Well, they had their first tender challenge on August 1st, 2021.
Oh, you're still promo-ing the company.
You're just promo-ing all of the things, all the different chicken, like alleyways that
they went down, all the different ways they tried to diversify the chicken scenario.
We've drummed up, we've drummed up our hottest sauce yet and smothered in one of our tenders
for you to endure.
No mercy.
You think you're bad enough or do you know someone crazy enough to fit the bill?
I actually wonder if they used that because what they would also do is that they felt
because Solaris, she calls herself, she calls herself as life strategist.
That's her career.
That is, by the way, life coaching.
Again, life coach I've ever met as a total epic failure.
That's what I'm going to be.
Never do one.
Never go to one.
I'm going to be a thought professor.
That's just a professor.
No, no, no, but I'm for your thoughts.
Well, I'm going to create a thought academy.
So people just tell you their thoughts, you take them and then you monetize them.
I give them notes.
And then if they've got good thoughts, I help them achieve those goals.
I think that is just a professor.
And a podcast.
Because it says here she's a life strategist which means
It's podcaster and spiritual director.
Oh, she's a podcaster.
I do other thing too, she sets up a thing called the posse
that if you feel like you are out of pocket,
she gets a bunch of people together to put you in a room
and then everybody tells you what you got really going on.
Oh, that's so fun.
I love that live Twitter.
Well, an interesting thing about this chicken tender
that they have, they say each tender
comes in an ominous black box and contains
a devilish amount of heat.
I mean, again, this is satanic panic
right in front of us.
Absolutely.
They concocted it with some of the hottest peppers
in the world and they say after you eat the entire tender,
they start the clock at five minutes.
I think that you're not allowed to have anything
until five minutes are done.
I mean, that's all of us is terrible.
You've done this before and ruined your fucking like week.
It really did.
They take a photo and a video
and they post it on their social media.
Like that's a good thing.
So they do tell you that in the moment of total weakness,
when you're crying, you're like, no spicy, man.
They will have a video of it.
Now, yeah, of course.
That's the editing point right now.
But what they also, these guys are just,
they're fighting back.
All right.
They're not taking this line down.
They shouldn't.
Because they're saying straight up because they're saying,
someone's making false and defamatory statements, right?
No one's done this before.
The damage to the reputation is already substantial.
And they believe that there was a relentless online campaign
to defame an award-winning local food truck and its owner
because they were so successful.
The chicken wars are real food truck wars.
I mean, it's not just a show on the food network.
It's a way of life.
Honestly.
Perhaps she did get a little too big for her britches.
And then they find out she's running a cult.
Let's expose her.
Well, if you are like, comes down to it, right?
Think about stupid Chick-fil-A again.
Somehow the chicken won, right?
The chicken cut through all the noise.
I still think that the Popeye's chicken sandwich
ended up happening was really good.
You know what I actually thought was an excellent substitute
for Chick-fil-A was the chicken from Burger King.
And the chicken sandwich wars, that's to me,
that ended up like it was really good for society
the way it ended up.
It's kind of like how, you know, like the only thing
that was good that came out of World War II
is that we got the VW bug.
Well, the VW bug and a whole series of snack foods.
Let's not forget the candy bar was created
for the rations for our- And the gene.
And also, candy bars, I was watching this one show,
the food that built America.
Mm.
The food did nothing.
Well, did food, food did build America
and someones didn't- Slave people built America.
So, food, when it comes to a crisis like the 1920s,
they would say, can't afford meat?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then they had to eat.
Try some chocolate.
Try some chocolate.
Chocolate gives you energy.
Like meat used to do.
But chocolate used to be different too.
I mean, you know, when it comes down to it again,
war, what is it good for?
Absolutely nothing but the economy.
Absolutely a lot of stuff when it comes to that.
And Raytheon's doing good.
But anyway, bad rooster.
One thing that is concerning, they are open 24 hours,
seven days a week.
It's just what I'm saying.
It's cold like behavior.
All right, well, be careful.
People must have off.
But again, if you take a whole day off, fuck you.
Why?
I mean, that's the Sunday thing.
I'm still mad about the Sunday thing.
I'm just mad about anybody.
Oh, you're just mad about Chick-fil-A,
not getting your fat Chick-fil-A fill on 9-11.
It's the only thing I could have done.
It's the only thing I could have fixed it.
All right, well, whatever.
Let's see here, food delivery, robot trolls,
rooster-related crime scene.
It's kind of funny.
Yeah, it just walks through.
It just didn't know what it was doing.
No, it's automated.
It's acute if, again, if you want to give them
sentient qualities and you could imagine
that you're the robot and you're just like, whoa, what?
I feel like this is kind of the problem
is that we're throwing personalities on the robots.
Yeah, the robot didn't know that there's-
It feels nothing.
No, it didn't.
No, it's like the weird little,
but again, I also appreciate that delivery robots
are neutral, not unlike when we went to the one hotel
and they had the little butler robot
that was going back and forth and had a smile on its face.
Even that kind of feels just ingenious.
Well, it had a little butler outfit.
And you know, as soon as I got there,
I was like, that's somebody's jab they just took.
But then at three o'clock in the morning
when I wanted my beef jerky, it did arrive.
Because it doesn't complain.
It didn't do anything.
No, no, it just shows up.
It's open.
It's open.
No, no, no, I feel like in the end,
I'm glad that people don't have to work all fucking night.
But you just hope.
I don't think it should completely replace human beings.
No, it really shouldn't.
All right.
Well, let's move on to a different tale.
We've got this.
There's a, right now it's very interesting.
And it's currently in California in Texas.
So there's a rash of false active shooter reports
at schools that seem to be.
It's better than active shooters.
It's happening.
Yes, it's true.
But it's, you know, obviously it's very destructive still
because you freeze all the,
you send resources away from where they need to be.
Oh man, take a look at your life.
Oh man.
You never called it a bomb threat?
That was back when it was fun.
I never called it a bomb threat.
When we were kids, it was funny
because you just had to hit zero.
They couldn't track you or anything like that on your phone.
We used to have the kiosks on the street
where you press the fire alarm button
or the policeman button.
And but then you see all the cars come.
But as adults, they didn't think it was funny then.
No, they were upset.
So now I feel like it's,
I think there is a contingent of people
who just might think this is funny.
Well, yeah, kids find that all because they don't know yet.
Oh, they, they don't know how precious life is.
And how fast it slips through your gut and fingers.
But they think that it might be connected
to the GTA 6 leak and that Uber leak that happened as well.
So it's weird.
They think that all of this activity
is all connected to each other.
They're not telling us how they know that,
but it is strange.
It seems to all be happening
from some form of Joker Muppet baby
that is currently doing it.
Because the GTA 6 leak, which apparently was very bad,
but I don't even know.
So I feel like I wouldn't you want to know
that I don't even know, cause I feel like I wouldn't you want
to see the gameplay.
I know it's super early, but it's like,
cause it's probably better to see while it's jank.
Instead of seeing it before you feel like
what happened with cyberpunk
wherever I thought the cyberpunk was going to change video games.
What I learned, well,
what I learned through our cyberpunk crisis.
Cause you and, you and Marcus were like,
Marcus was emotionally affected by the cyberpunk thing.
He wasn't upset by it, but he went out like he was panicking.
Cause it was during a high point of the quarantine.
Yes, it was strange.
The game was strange.
What I've learned is the longer a game takes,
it doesn't mean that they're making it amazing.
It means the entire thing's on fire.
It was also very complicated.
They made a bunch of promises that they could never complete
cause they basically hyped it to the point
where they thought it was going to change the fucking world.
But then by the time it came out,
everything moves so fast that it looked old immediately.
Yeah, which is why I don't care about the new avatar,
the new avatar movie.
I already think it looks like old tech, but I don't know.
But I will go see the new avatar movie
because that's a movie, they had a movie.
I don't like to see it be like,
I'll go see that because it's a spectacle.
And again, it's not IP.
Like I love to go see something
that I don't have to see 10 other things
to understand what the thing is because I'm sick of just,
cause like all I'm doing is watching piles
and the hours of ads.
I agree.
I agree.
Anyway, back to your story.
No, that was just it.
Now all that really is is that
cause they just don't know who this person is.
They don't know, they don't know that,
but they are insinuating that they believe
that it's all connected.
Not a story, but something that I,
cause I have my little phone here
and I do my scrolls.
Yeah, I see your phone, yeah.
And I had some constipation issues.
No way.
And I did just see a,
You?
Yes, I did.
I thought normally your poopoo is like the river
where it just, it's like the Mississippi.
Ooh, man, the river.
It's myths.
WebMD, 19 constipation myths and facts.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're not doing the myths of constipation.
You should have a bowel movement every day.
Myth.
That's, we are just, again,
last podcast left in the side stories.
We don't give medical advice here
or biological info in any way, shape, or form.
Check out this one.
Swallowed gum can get stuck.
Fact.
If you eat too much, if you eat too much.
Everybody's yelling already.
Everybody's yelling.
We can't just, this can't be about
the urban legends of your butthole.
No, this is WebMD.
If you eat too much.
That's all it is.
But isn't that interesting?
WebMD is, it's just fake.
No, it's not fake.
It's fake.
Where's, what are you, what are you Rand Paul?
What is this?
It's WebMD.
Web, medical doctor.
Well, you know what I'm talking about?
It's just as real as WebMD.
This woman's terrifying ordeal
after hearing fairy voices while stuck in the woods.
Fine.
You can do your little story about fairy voices.
You can update us as we go
with the other myths of constipation.
But it's a fact.
If you swallow too much gum, it gets stuck.
And you've got a gum ball in your butthole.
If you're eating a baseball's load of gum,
yeah, it's gonna get stuck in your fucking pipes.
But if you have one piece of gum,
which I do from time to time,
because I don't know where to put it,
I'm not trying to throw it on the cement.
I swallow it.
I'll swallow it.
I'll swallow it.
Holding it in won't hurt.
It does.
That I know is true.
That is true.
Go on.
Because I was what my mother used to told me,
because I remember she,
that was the first true understanding of liberty
that she gave me as a child,
which is, I don't care what anybody tells you.
If you have to go to the bathroom,
you get up and you go to the bathroom.
And she did that forever.
Cause she was like, cause yeah, holding it in,
turns you into a Republican.
I guess so.
It just slowly poisons your guts.
It might.
All right, here we go.
Now this is a woman from a town called,
you guys say everything different.
So I'm gonna say that this town is called Meeth, M-E-A-T-H.
Sure.
Now she said she was terrified.
Why?
You'll see.
Okay.
She took it.
Not much gum.
Well, she would know that she had nothing,
she had something to worry about
until she heard this episode.
So she said, she believed she had a supernatural experience.
Okay.
She was out on a walkabout.
That's Australian for walking.
And a woman, she got lost.
She had walked through two trees, right?
Now, she said she was a former skeptic.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
Does her life change inexplicably
in a way that only the fairy con could do for her?
Okay.
Only Rami Malek.
Fantastic.
Possibly could have fooled her.
Now she told Dublin Live that she'd be hesitant
to return after experience
after hearing a terrifyingly light female voice
come from the other side.
Oh.
And she said, I just had to get my steps up
for a challenge that we were doing on work.
Is she Irish or Australian?
I don't know.
No, she's Irish.
I just had to get my steps up
for a challenge that we were doing on work.
I decided to go walk someplace nice
instead of just doing my laps in my estate.
It was a nice day.
So I said I'd go for a walk in the woods.
What was the worst that could happen?
Well, that's a horrible thing to think.
It turns out most crimes happen in the woods.
Yeah.
Especially when you go out there,
you're jogging late at night,
or you're jogging in the morning
and a man grabs you and he diddles you.
Absolutely.
You've got to be careful.
Bears.
Lions.
You've got to be careful.
Anybody diddle you.
Once a bear learns to get a taste for pussy,
he'll have sex with you.
I don't know if that's true.
You can fall and break your hip.
No, that's fine.
Then the paths lead through two identical trees.
Now I stepped through and I put my hands on both trees.
People are saying now that this was a mistake.
One was really warm,
and the other was wet and cold.
I walked on and then I took a left.
Uh-oh.
It's getting Mexican.
Really good, yes.
You just got to dial it in.
Just got to dial it.
Dial it in, yes.
The main path kind of got banished off to the left,
and it just went nowhere.
It went to a really overgrown forest.
Really high weeds and plants.
Oh, sounds good somewhere.
Now I know it wasn't the path.
There were lots of people around.
It was a really popular spot, so I walked back
and I thought, oh, this was the main path
and I should have taken it the other way.
Now I took the other way,
and that one similarly went nowhere.
Now I went back to the fork to start over, right?
I went back and I tried to think,
oh, this is maybe the weed that I came, right?
When that also led me nowhere.
Sounds like a horrible Dylan Thomas thing.
I love it.
I try to keep trying paths, right?
It's getting quite overcast at this point as well.
Sure.
Let's see what was going on.
There was only three, so I thought-
So far, you're walking in the woods.
I'm getting up a bit of it.
I'm a bit of a turned around.
I'm turned around.
It's such a-
How long do we have here?
I just keep getting turned around.
Now I have a very professional job.
She says, I'm not crazy.
I'm not crazy.
No, you're just going for a walk in the woods.
I'm quite logical, but then a call came from the other side
and I knew something wasn't right,
because as I was going through the path,
there was an overgrown area, right?
I heard this path and I heard a really-
Of the path of what?
I was going overgrown area.
Okay.
And I heard a really light women's voice.
Now, I don't know how quite to describe it.
It was really high.
She kept going,
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
And it hurts.
I thought it was some wee ma'am calling for her kids.
Oh.
But then I heard her laugh.
Oh.
And the tittering of her laugh, I know,
that was the fairy kind.
Wow.
Because the tittering sounded like-
I don't know.
And that's how I knew it was the fairy kind.
Because she said that she knew something was wrong.
Did she see it?
The first thing was a run.
No.
So she just heard a random-
Tiny voice.
Tiny voice.
Fairy voice.
A fairy voice.
And it scared the shit out of her.
And eventually she found her way out of the woods.
Thank God.
I am so happy she didn't die in the woods.
There's paragraphs more of this.
I know.
And I like that this woman can expand on a story that is literally-
It's nothing.
Hi, Charlie.
Watch, guys.
I watched a skirt when I heard first heard.
I thought she was a wee ma'am.
I was scared when she laughed.
I know when she laughed.
I don't think I've heard words in English language for it.
I haven't gone and got words for it.
It was scaredy-tardy.
That's the way I put it.
I was scaredy-tardy.
Absolutely.
I believe that.
Why didn't you try to look at it?
You should have tried to see that.
Oh, I'm blind.
Oh, God.
I couldn't find my way if I wanted to.
All right.
Well, intriguing story indeed.
Hey, that's fun.
And it's Irish.
Exactly.
And again, we will be in Ireland very soon.
We can't wait to be in Dublin.
I'm so excited.
And they love when we do the accents.
Oh, well, they're just so impressed by them.
Because the whole thing, they're like, oh, is that the queen, mom?
Well, like, no, I didn't wait 12 hours to go piss on her fucking corpse or her fucking
face.
Fucking, I can't believe it.
The idea of waiting 12 hours to see an old dead woman.
I mean, it would be fun just to see her dead, I guess.
Yeah, but I'd pay five bucks some dude behind a bridge to see that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there's a lot of questions that have to be answered there, but in Ireland, do they
care about the queen?
No, they hate her.
They don't like the queen.
No, they hate her viciously.
Of course.
Well, yeah.
They are subjects.
They are, they are conquered people.
Okay.
Yeah, they hate her.
So I just don't want to beat them.
They want to beat the living shit out of her.
Every single day.
She is now dead.
We're onto gang sausage fingers.
Also, just lastly, WebMD, when it comes to your bowels, castor, castor oil is a cure-all
myth.
Yeah, don't drink castor oil.
I don't know what is castor oil.
I don't know what is castor oil.
No, what you do truly, if you really want to do it, you stick your fingers up there
and you pop it.
You open up the hole yourself and let the shit fall out.
Fantastic.
You look at me like I'm crazy, but that's it.
They say this.
Everyone's cringing.
Well, it just wasn't.
It wasn't.
That is true, though.
Like, you, at Side Stories, L-P-O-T-L, at gmail.com, can you fix constipation, but stick your
fucking fingers up your butt hole and open it up your butt hole, I submit that you can.
Well, that might coincide with myth number 19 here.
It's normal to have bloody stool.
It's no.
It's definitely not normal.
They say that's a myth.
I'm not sure.
Who said, who would ever do?
Only another alcoholic would tell you that.
Yeah, that's normal.
Yeah.
Also, you know what else I learned from our fucking credible listeners?
What's that?
Goatsy is an acronym.
Goatsy is in the image that shows the man gaping his butt hole.
The guy spreading his butt hole?
What's an acronym?
Guy opens asshole to show everyone.
This Internet Keats.
These Internet Keats.
These kids.
Man, they're smart.
I don't know how they learn.
I don't know either, but we love them.
Life from your grave.
No roast as dark as the night, perfect for fueling the cryptid research and mad ravings
required for your podcasting.
Don't mind the red eyes.
He's just trying to warn you of the bridge.
The bridge.
Finally, from the caffeine-addled brains of Spring Hill Jack Coffee and Last Podcast
on the left, we bring you Mothman's Red Eye Blend.
Yes, delicious Panama beans.
Go to lastpodcastmerch.com to order yours today.
All right, everyone, let's do Hero of the Week.
Now, this is actually from last week, but I didn't do it, and I really regretted it.
Okay.
So last week, you did something where like a woman helped a man, and you have someone
to read.
And the other guy was just like, oh, thanks for, I'm glad I can read, because now I wrote
all this fucking like QAnon fiction or something, I forgot what it was.
Mice families move into Dream Village, built by Gardner, and are hand-fed flowers every
day.
Now, look at these mice, and they're in a little village, and so there's two families
of mice, and they live in the-
They don't treat you with more respect than any migrant has ever been treated.
Absolutely.
If they put it in a little home, these mice, they're going on an entire fucking apartment
complex.
They have a whole thing.
This is one of the places that one of the mouse lives, it's called the Frog Mouse House,
and they advertise pub food.
But now the thing is, what happens is so interesting, because people get all kinds, they give them
all kinds of interesting things.
They feed them every day, and they make them more little mouse houses.
You mean to tell me they get more room service than is currently in human hotels?
The mice currently have 40,000 followers on TikTok.
I am- Oh, okay.
So not only, not only, do they have a solid social media presence, right, in which they
could probably already get offers as it is.
Oh, absolutely.
They then get free housing.
Yes.
And then they are fed.
They didn't have to go, look, they didn't even put a bowl out.
No.
They get hand-fed.
They're fed.
And so this woman puts daily videos up there of them people feeding the mice, and now mice
have a reputation for enjoying garbage, but they can also be seen eagerly devouring flowers.
I know.
That's true.
That is true.
We can eat.
There's also edible flowers for people as well.
Yes.
So these mice- They're not very tasty, though.
No.
I can't imagine.
Anyway, she spends about four or five hours each day with the mice and then live stream.
So go and have fun with these little mice.
They're super cute.
That's fine.
I'm glad that, you know, again, resources, I guess it's not money resources, that's fine.
I do think that, like, you know, I'm glad we're treating the mice with respect, but
I feel like we could do it.
We could do it with a lot of others as well.
There was also an Amazon driver, Kevin Rivera, who went into a building that was on fire
and saved an entire family.
So that was nice of him as well.
So he is a runner-up.
That's a good runner-up.
He's a runner-up.
Look at that fire.
He ran in there.
So this last shift of that last delivery of the day.
Better save those mice.
Yep.
Kevin Rivera, you're also here over the week, along with those two mice.
The mice first, though.
Yeah.
He said them first.
Yes, of course.
A couple of corrections.
Number one.
This is for listener emails.
Straight up.
Number one.
Not Corell.
Well, the first was a straight-up correction.
You know, Marcus has been talking.
He's actually been spouting anti-communist propaganda all these years.
Like a lived.
The dogs in space from the Soviet Union lived.
They actually, a lot of them landed.
Like a died overheating.
A lot of them landed and made it out.
And then, yes.
Do I still feel like they were scared?
Very much so.
Are they dogs?
Do they not know what's happening?
Sure.
But actually, apparently, a lot of the dogs did live.
Really?
Yep.
And Leica just burned.
Well, Leica burned up in the atmosphere.
Yeah.
Leica did not live.
Well, interesting.
But yeah.
So it was like, all right.
And then I also got some good AI artist feedback about LOAB because obviously we didn't know
what the hell we were talking about when it came to what LOAB was or what it means to
be an AI artist.
I think this is interesting.
What are we doing?
I see.
I've got two letters.
Because I have one AI art letter that says straight up, the thing about AI art in general
is that it's difficult because what it does is it sweeps the internet for many other people's
stuff.
So a lot of the AI art, even in and of itself, is a collaboration.
It's a mish-mash of art.
It's already on the internet.
Right?
It's already there.
So there's a little bit, there are some issues of people being like, well, it's using
stuff that's already been made and mashing it up.
But there's also people that use their own proprietary programs that I got emails from
that say straight.
It's more about playing with the so-called AI Godhead, whatever it is it thinks that
something is.
So you use something that's not connected to the internet to do something with art on
its own.
But it's still using a series of prompts that it has to get from someplace else.
So it's basically the equivalent of an artist who used to draw on caves, then an artist
came around using his own scat, and then you're like, you can't use your own shit.
That's cheating.
That's cheating.
Everybody can use brown.
And then somebody came in with paint and colors, and they're like, I was just using shit.
It's more like you go and you use somebody else's shit to paint.
You see, look, I just found paint.
And they're like, no, that's my shit.
That's my shit.
That's my shit.
And they're like, no, no, no, that's paint now.
All right.
So it's kind of like that.
All right, here's some more listener emails.
Because Spooky Season's upon us.
It is.
And I'm, you know, I don't mind Thanksgiving.
I like Thanksgiving.
But I'm hopping over it.
We'll have Thanksgiving.
I think I'm already in Halloween mood.
Make Thanksgiving scary.
Sure.
But it's after Halloween.
It is.
Yes.
Very much so.
Very much so.
Month after.
A month after.
Yeah.
It's November.
That's Thanksgiving.
In November.
Hey, man.
Hey, you're not keeping the calendar.
That's why I'm over it already.
Yeah.
You haven't even thought about it.
It's months or nine.
It's months or nine.
It's after Halloween.
It's after Halloween.
Yeah.
Every year.
Yeah.
But yeah.
I do know that.
I think everything should be so.
I think Christmas is spooky.
Yeah.
So I say keep it spooky to May.
Right.
Right.
But here we go.
All right.
Well, you never know what time is.
Now, my now ex-husband.
Whoa.
And I were driving from North Carolina to Florida.
We were at the point of needing gas and wanting to switch out drivers.
Now we hadn't seen an exit in a while and just decided that no matter what, we're going
to stop at the next place that had gas and maybe grab a snack.
Oh, yeah.
That's what I like.
Indeed.
So we drove for another 20 minutes, which is already weird that we hadn't seen an exit
in a while and just decided that you know, no matter what, okay, we're going to stop
in the next place.
Um, sounds like they were having a horrible trip together.
Oh, it's, I mean, now X.
Yeah.
Um, finally, they just see an exit after driving for 20 minutes that it has a gas station
listed as a gas station listed.
Right.
So we believe that we were around South Carolina at this point.
Uh-oh.
So we started to pull over and stop there.
So when we get there, it automatically felt weird.
We got off at the next exit and it was like turning into this little town and it was like
its own little world.
There were no signs, no advertisements for restaurants, nothing would you usually see
pulling to somewhere off a major highway.
It also was immediately gloomy or weather, a little colder, seemed later in the day.
Now we got gas and decided to stop at the little strip of shops on the other side of
the road.
All that there was was school supply store, right, figure and get some things to doodle
on on the road.
And an army surplus store, which is always interesting.
I guess so.
So upon entering the school supply store, it's like that we were at the center of the
room.
There was no music or noise at all and multiple people all dressed too similarly, dressed
at us and just rifling through bins.
It's just a small town.
You forget small towns get uniforms.
Absolutely.
Like you really do.
And because if you're all shopping for the same place, it's one store, right?
So you address burn and honestly, dress bar, that means you got to be looking to be
a pretty hoax.
So mirror there for about 20 minutes and the whole time.
No one moved from the bins.
Again, you never know because I've seen Marcus in record stores.
I, if I go to a record store, I'm there for seven minutes.
I'm also like that with museums.
I can't be reading all these day.
Oh, I go through the museum and I'm like, God, it's seen it, seen it, done it, and then
it done it.
And I'm done.
Right.
I remember it from the country music museum was lefty frizzle's car, which was cool.
And then the rock and roll hall of fame, which Marcus loves.
He loves.
I didn't get it.
He went there two days in the row to see a cassette and it took a picture of it.
And then people reacted like he found something.
Yeah, I don't know.
I could have gotten him a cassette tape.
I'll never forget.
I told Marcus cause he was like, I like to go.
And that's my, I like to go to the record store all the time and I'm like, why don't
you just order it?
Yeah.
But he's like, no, it's the hunt.
I can get you.
Cause he was like, I can't get this one record.
I can get it for you.
I googled it and found it right away to find it organically.
And so you again, reader, listener, this is a part of it.
You did.
So you never know.
Right.
So no one purchased anything.
No one else came to the store.
Right.
I bought some pens and they all accepted cash.
They moved back by change and coins, right, $3 in coins.
Right.
So we decided to shake it off.
It's a little strange.
Right.
We still didn't go next door to the army surplus store.
So we walked in.
It was the same vibe.
It was only one person.
They were looking through.
Oh, Collins and basket.
Right.
This was more of a military memorabilia place rather than a things to buy place.
Right.
There were two uniforms, vintage knives, helmet, shoes, tools, weapons.
There was a kind of, there was a Nazi flag in the frame in the back.
You get that a lot in those old stores, right.
So we walked around.
There was nothing you could want to purchase, right.
So it seemed like all of a sudden you were going to leave.
Right.
Some of those knives were probably pretty cool.
Yeah.
But a man came up as they were trying to leave and he's like, leaving so soon.
Right.
And you were like, oh, yeah, we're going to go, you know, we're going to go.
All right.
So we went back outside.
It was dark.
Like the sun was setting.
No street lights, no activities outside, no cars driving by.
We walked to our car.
We turned to see that the school store is closed.
No lights and the army place looks like it's completely shut down as well.
Hitch black.
Right.
Just from our walk to the car.
Now we get in.
We are weirded out and proceed to drive away.
And we, we turn on the radio and we see that four hours had passed.
Right.
I was shocked.
I looked at my phone to be sure and yes, four hours.
This is completely impossible because we could not have been there for longer than 45 minutes.
It's still a long time at school supply store.
Oh yes.
You say, I say, let's get the hell out of here.
And we, we had the way that we came.
Everything was backwards.
And now there was a detour sign that said that we couldn't take the highway.
This is kind of one of those things that kind of freaks me out because I feel like it's
going to happen.
That was completely fine.
45 minutes ago.
Right.
We followed the detour, we get back on the road and we're quiet for a large majority
of the drive until we found something else to talk about from the podcast we were listening
to.
Well, I would have just talked about all that creepy stuff they just experienced.
You don't know, man.
People who wrapped up.
I was listening to a story on somewhere in the skies that was talking about this, a almost
mile long UFO that flew over a drive-in that he was at and how everyone got out of the
cars and watch it as it shut down the power of the, the place, the, the movie theater,
all of the cars, everything powered down.
And then afterwards it was more like everyone was so freaked out that no one wanted to talk
about it because like everything turned back on as the object passed.
Right.
Um, so now like it's really strange because now like they've re-brought it up.
She said recently they reached, she had talked with her ex and brought it back up like,
they're still communicating.
Yes.
And they were like, did that happen?
They're like, yeah, it did happen.
Wow.
I think they should get back together.
You never know though.
Never know.
But the problem doesn't mean necessarily that you should be together, but at the time period
you guys led each other through a very difficult situation, that's what they call them show
masses.
Oh yeah.
Show masses.
Absolutely.
Um, and do a little like, this is another vindication story to me.
I just had this happen to me possibly twice background.
Now I've had plenty of paranormal experiences and I'm very sensitive to spirits, right?
Me too.
I love Scotch.
You got him good.
Now I'm stationed in Italy, in Italy.
Whoa.
If you live in a house, it definitely had someone's parents die in it, right?
It's a huge cost, but the person's parents probably died and they decided to rent because
everything inside is circa like 1970s, right?
Kind of cool.
So I make video, hard drives are important.
Now, like this is what he does in their time, in his time period, right?
Now I ended up losing a hard drive with over one terabit of video on it.
That's a lot.
I lost it over nine months ago, possibly dropping it for my car somehow after a trip.
I don't know.
I usually edit my living room on my laptop, so I automatically search here every time
I lose something.
Doing this, I turn my entire house upside down.
I took every couch cushion out.
I took all of my clothes out of my drawers.
I've done this on more than one occasion when my OCD sets in and I try to find it again.
So tonight, when looking for a spider that I tried to catch, but I lost, right?
Shouldn't kill a cat.
I got a spider in your home.
It's bad luck.
I guess so.
Lo and behold, it pops right up.
Right in this fucking red glory.
It's right there.
It looked under behind the couch, but all of a sudden, he'd been looking there countless
times.
He's driving his drive and his Nintendo switch doesn't know little people.
That's fair.
All right.
It's not just weed and alcohol.
You'd be surprised.
What else can cause you to lose stuff early onset dementia, high blood pressure can go
into and you go into a foggy fugue state.
You never know.
Absolutely.
Maybe maybe you ate too much or anything, really anything, CO2 exposure can make you
foggy.
Yes, it can.
Brain tumor at both.
Sure, that'll do it to you.
Yeah.
You got to be careful.
Yes, indeed.
You got to live your life every day wondering, is that a headache or do I have a brain tumor?
I wonder.
Just don't.
I mean, love your life.
Love the fact that you'll never truly know until it's too late until you make that horrible
fucking walk up to the doctor's office and they go like, yeah, Mr. Ripperton, yeah, we're
going to take a look at that.
Not going to years.
The whole time you don't know and you wonder and you wonder and you love that.
You love that.
Like with just a headache.
And then you laugh when you find out all the thousands of dollars you've spent was all
just because you were afraid.
You're just afraid.
And then he turns out like, when you go to talk to the doctor about like, what's wrong
with you and shit, like, you know, it turns out something else.
They say that it's something else because it's like, no, it's just your brain eating
itself.
Right.
And then you can just laugh.
No.
And then like, hey, at least I don't have cancer.
But I do have this like thing that makes me think I have cancer.
So it's kind of like I do.
It's almost worse.
Maybe you have a little bug up the old brain there.
That's a scary thing.
When people go swimming and they take something into their nose, then it has a little worm.
It's very scary.
Also, if you do eat these things, you can get worms.
You can get worms.
We're talking about this in the show.
Anything.
Anything.
Well, anything outside, especially anything with the snail.
If you find a bit, I mean this, Gissel, this is specifically directed to you.
If you see a fish laying dead in a shallow pool, don't cook it or eat it.
Don't cook it or eat it.
Why not?
Because it's full of worms.
And a lot of times that's why it's good to get if like you shouldn't eat roadkill necessarily
because if it's hit by a car, it might be fine.
But again, a lot of them die of disease and it's got to be real fresh because I've eaten
roadkill before.
Hmm.
I ate a roadkill snake.
When?
In 2017.
Why?
It's a very incredible makeup artist on pretty face.
Also, it was a bit crunchy, but she believed that nothing should never not be saved.
And so she saw a dead snake on the side of the road and she picked it up and cooked it
and brought it in.
And then I ate it with her because I was like, I ain't no pussy.
I was saying, but when I was in Gary makeup, I would do whatever.
Fantastic.
But I got real ill.
I felt real weird.
I would imagine so.
All right, everyone.
Thanks so much for listening.
Inhale yourselves.
Yeah.
You better be careful.
We're coming out to the beacon.
Yes.
You got promo man.
You gotta fucking get in there, bro.
I think we're already sold out promo complete.
I think it's like 50.
There's 50 tickets.
And we're also, um, we want to explain to some of our European viewers that the VIP tickets
are separate.
If you want.
Yes.
They're not included.
It's not like in Merck, where you click your own, the VIP, we streamline things and
a little differently.
We're streamlined things.
So there it's like, you have to go and it's like an add on or some shit.
Yeah.
It's confusing.
We tried to do it today because we were like, what's going on?
And then we were like, it's confusing.
And then so yeah.
Yeah.
So if you want to just know for the of you, if you want to come the VIP ticket, it provides
a whole extra hour of show and it's VIP, you get the last podcast storytellers.
We're out there and went to Q and a, we can tell you anything you want.
Yeah.
Kind of.
All right.
Yeah.
So figure that out.
I don't know what's wrong with those websites out there.
Yeah.
So Europeans is different because they're a little more cash when you're in the bathroom.
All right, everyone.
Once again, that's funny.
I'm a lot of times though, me three times out of day.
I'm a coup.
There you go.
Hail yourselves.
Congratulations.
It's going to be a really great European tour.
I can't wait.
We're on fire for it.
Oh, I'm, I'm on fire right now.
I think that's, you need, you have a rash.
Oh yeah.
