There's no place to escape to.
This is the last talk.
On the left.
Side stories.
One of your glids.
That's when the cannibalism started.
Side stories.
Yes.
Oh, I've heard, oh look at this mysterious hole.
Why do they call it a glory hole?
Oh, I wonder if, oh, there must be fame and riches on the other side of this hole.
Let me go see.
Okay.
Oh, it's five dollars.
You sure thing, you Russian man, you're very strong, aren't you?
That's cheap.
I can't wait to find my, oh, oh, all of my medals will be in this little hole.
Absolutely.
All your downhill skiing records.
Oh, yeah.
Wait a second.
Is this just a cock?
It's a cock.
Oh, no.
What a surprise.
Well, winning cock land.
That's like winning Rome, but you suck dick.
Wow, what a great way to start.
What a great way to start.
Wow, this is really good.
I blame Fernando because he brought up the glory holes right before we started talking.
No, we brought them up.
I think we still brought them up.
No, he brought up.
Side stories.
He brought it up first and then all of a sudden now, you know, we got to come up with a cold
open.
Sure.
And it's not always the most intricately planned show you've ever been a part of.
It never is.
I'm certain you may be understood.
Not even, it's almost like we do no planning, but we do.
Well, we plan some.
We do plan some, but then when Fernando said the word glory hole, this is a zip-zop-zop
game.
Glory hole.
Gloria, Gloria.
Perfect.
Gloria.
You see, you're taking it to a nice pop-centered place.
Thank you.
Welcome to Side Stories, everyone.
Yes.
I mean, I am more of a pop star now than I was last week because of the new hit Little
Toes.
Also, Marcus Parks.
People are really enjoying it.
They're really enjoying it.
Thank you for patronizing me.
Also, Marcus Parks on the stream.
One of our final streams, we're in the top, we're in the top of Countdown.
He was able to light a match with his toes.
I'm just going to say this, it's been a toe couple of weeks.
Not that I don't get impressed by Marcus.
That was impressive.
I have never seen, because I can't believe I doubted him number one, because first of
all, then I explained afterwards to Natalie because she heard about him lighting the match
with his toes.
Right.
And then she saw the clip of it.
Just from the internet.
Did you even talk to her about, I mean, this went, this went Marcus Parks viral.
For our version.
Immediately.
It went our version of viral.
And then he lit the match with his toes and we were all very impressed.
And then he said the thing where he said that when he's home alone by himself, he likes
to do activities with just his feet, his toes.
Remote control is a little too far away.
His nicotine loss.
But then I explained that to Natalie and she's like, huh, so he just does stuff with his
feet.
Well, I would feel like Natalie is kind of a foot person.
She's got long legs.
She's able.
She's a, what do you call, prehensile.
Sure.
I feel like she would be a foot person.
Honestly, I saw her picked up something once with her butt cheeks.
It was incredible.
Yeah.
That's not true.
Your love.
Yeah.
But honestly, she did that back when she was ballet training.
This is just a man alone.
And then a man alone on his own because mostly when I'm by myself, I'm touching my penis.
With your feet.
No, I can't get him up there.
I know.
But how does he get, I wonder if he, I wonder if he does the same, do you think he jerks
off with his feet?
I think that he probably could.
It's an amazing luxury to have that kind of ability, my feet, pretty useless other than
what they're used for.
But they're not doing, they're not going above and beyond.
They're doing feet stuff and feet stuff only.
Truly, can you do, can you feel your feet?
No.
Like, can you, do they have feeling?
I don't know.
Like, all right.
You got, you got your cut plots on.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I'm going to touch his heel.
You are?
Can you feel this?
Kind of.
Well, that's good.
Your lower, your lower spine brain still works.
Yeah.
Well, anyway.
Oh, God, why'd I do that?
I don't know.
You just touched my foot though.
It was really freaking.
You should go sanitize.
I'm so upset.
Yeah, man.
Oh, God.
I was reading all about how the CIA was using them.
I'm really deep in the CIA world, but they were, back in the day, it is, there's a gateway,
thing called the gateway program, which you can read all about, which is their concept
of using remote viewing.
And part of what they use is this thing called Hemi-Sphinx.
Hemi-Sphinx.
Hemi-Sphinx, Hemi-Sphinx.
Hemi-Sphinx, Hemi-Sphinx.
They go and they play with different kind of binaural, like it's like binaural beats.
Have you ever tried binaural beats?
No.
They're the dumbest shit.
Are they headphones?
What are binaural beats?
Some people swear that they work, but I think it's the same people where ASMR works on them,
where it does not work on us.
Yo, dude, ASMR works on a lot of people.
It gets things going down there that we can never even imagine.
John Goodman made a woman come when he was talking about Big Macs.
It must have happened.
I don't know.
Because he did the ASMR for McDonald's.
And they all say that the ASMR isn't sexual.
It's like some other kind of sensory experience.
I believe that it's also a lie.
That's a lie.
I do believe it's a lie.
I do believe it's a lie.
Of course it's sexual.
Yes.
Isn't everything there?
Well, we're going to get into this.
Now we just walk into the ASMR discourse again.
We're going to get all of these emails.
Well, I don't think that they would be upset.
The ASMR community, I think it fully embraces those who enjoy ASMR for sexual reasons and
then also enjoys ASMR for not sexual reasons.
That is not true.
Much like professional wrestling.
You tell me, I know for a fact there's many men who watch professional wrestling.
To jerk off.
For different reasons than I do.
Of course.
Yeah.
Men from every culture in tiny pants.
Same thing with football.
A lot of ladies like football because.
The butts.
The butts.
Rugby.
You see butts nonstop.
So if you like, if you found me watching female volleyball, it's not for the sport.
It's sexual.
So there's nothing wrong with that.
Sure.
That's not the problem.
But mostly it's just because they fiercely get all upset when you do say it's sexual
because then we always get emails.
I'm just saying we always get a series of emails that go, I don't think I'll understand
that one.
But there's a thing called Hemish Rink.
It was good.
Okay.
It's binaural beats are the same where it's a type of sound that they say gets you like,
oh, it's like sounds that get you fucking stoned.
Like the sound gets you stoned.
And guess what, man?
No one gets you stoned?
Drugs.
Yeah.
What's the sound?
It's like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So if we have any binaural sounds, we can drop in so we can talk when we circle back.
We could talk about this.
I actually do think do that again.
That's not the sound.
That is kind of trippy though.
Here we go.
Let's see if we can get it.
Increase brain power, focus, music, reduce anxiety.
All right.
I'm going to sit in it.
I ain't high.
I can feel it though.
I get it.
I think I'm at the dentist.
Well, you're high at the dentist.
No, I actually.
Yeah, you do.
I don't let them knock me out because I might get molested there unless it's a woman.
Hmm.
Because I'll get molested by a woman, but then I also want pictures of it.
Sure.
You want to have your spank bank.
This is giving me waiting in a waiting in a hospital patient room.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm waiting for chemo.
Yeah.
Hmm.
I wonder.
Let's stop this.
This doesn't make us high.
This doesn't do anything.
That's interesting though.
But for some people.
I wonder, it reminds me a little bit of some people they'll take, they'll take something
to calm down, but for me, it'll make me all hyped up.
Me too.
I don't like metal tone in any of that shit.
It makes me feel weird.
But the Hemish Fink technology uses something that it's like, what it does is.
Are we spies now?
Maybe.
I mean, we work for the CIA or do we?
What?
Or don't we?
You don't know.
But this idea of this music, apparently this type of thing, they work with your brain.
Hmm.
This system utilizes audio patterns containing binaural beats to create harmonization of
the brain's left and right hemispheres.
It buys them both a Coke.
Isn't that nice?
And combines them.
They should do the halftime show this year.
That would be cool.
Dr. Dre and Eminem.
You wait, man.
Then we get into conspiracy theory real territory where they use the halftime show to hypnotize
everyone into, I guess, shedding the vaccine.
There was a satanic panic.
What was the one?
Was it Madonna's?
Yes.
Where they're like, it was satanic.
How could a woman that old still move?
She must wear something different.
Honestly, what we've gotten to is a place where people are ironically using Illuminati
symbology and then the weekend.
Yes.
And they're using it because they're giving a wink to all of the people talking about
these type of YouTube conspiracy theory holes that say that the pop stars are connected
to the Illuminati.
Sure.
But then inversely, what they're doing is making it all real.
Okay.
But the Hemishrink, what it does is make your brain work into this place where you meditate.
See, they put a lot of money into this because the goal was to create remote viewing.
They thought that they were versus the Russians in a race to create psychic, like, intelligence
officers.
Saving money on the new Marvel movie.
You don't got to go.
Fantasize.
Fantasize.
Ooh, now I'm just thinking about Kumail Nanjiani's abs.
He's very tight.
Yes.
Very tight.
Hi, Kumail.
But this stuff, it helps you release.
But what they're saying is that when they went through, they started seeing all these
fucking what they called alligators.
Fucking reptilians, dude.
From TMNC.
From TMNC.
Ninja Turtles.
Maybe they live in the sewers.
They need a turtle.
We need a hero turtle.
But this shit kept coming up again and again and again and apparently CIA officers, and
there is shit that is written down about this, that they started seeing what, they were all
on the same page.
This is like 1978.
Okay.
People seeing this shit that these alligators, that they said were nefarious vertebrates.
They control and enslaved humanity, which is exactly what the John Ramirez guy says.
If all of this could possibly could be an op, right?
A reptilian, perhaps.
Yes.
They exist and operate in the fourth dimension.
All right.
And you can only see it, I guess, if you're listening to binaural beats.
So that's what they listen to.
I guess.
Alligators like that.
I thought that alligators would like metal.
Yeah.
Personally.
Or the four mentioned when we were in the car, chumbawamba.
Chumbawamba.
Tum-thumping.
Because they don't have any thumbs to tub.
But also there, I believe that that band is like a Marxist band.
It's all about like the worker working class rising up and that technically tub-thumping
is all about that.
Well, they need to be heard now more than ever there in Australia.
You're correct.
And then, but this idea that like it is just weird to have all these CIA people all talking
about how like this idea that these reptilians sort of like feeding off of us from the fourth
dimension.
But or is that again, is just another lie on a lie on a lie on a lie?
It's the CIA.
So I think we can trust them.
Yeah.
I think we can trust them.
Yeah.
I mean, our taxes pay their pay their salaries.
I'm not going to.
I mean, you know what?
I'm not doing it.
What?
I'm not going to go and be a cuck to some weird ass alligator person.
I don't care.
You've got to sign up with the Bradians.
I want to have something like majestic.
I'm not bowing down to a bottom feeder like the alligator person.
I don't care about them.
You know what that means, Kessel?
Well, the only thing, the only way I'll get in there, I'll tickle their scales that actually
even if with your little joking comment, the truth is to put forth a positive attitude
because the reptilians, as we know, they feed off of negative vibes.
So your job is to be fucking super chill, you got your cardigan on, you got your weird
ass feed out, which is nice, but I didn't see in a way.
I shouldn't be disgusted by that.
I am, but I shouldn't be because it's your freedom.
And so that's right.
freedoms being expressed like a like a bald eagle crying into a cloud shows that you're
free, able, strong, positive, happy, and that should keep their up tillings from sucking
your dick.
Absolutely.
Well, that was the one thing I wanted them to do.
Well, speaking of the the creepy and kind of the strange, you hear about this UFO story
in Texas.
Which one?
There was a jet blue pilot stunned as a shape shifting UFO appeared, no, this shit's weird.
This shit's fucking weird.
This is in Texas.
We were just in Texas and it has a video and this we were talking about maybe updating
some of the videos for the live show.
I feel like there's an abundance of videos out there.
We could do it.
And we could do the UFO bit could go on forever.
We've been talking about this now for a while and it's it's only getting thicker and thicker
and what that's, but last week, I want to say last week, maybe two weeks ago, there was
a video that a flight attendant took outside of a plane window where we saw literally a
formation of orbs flying, changing directory and then shooting up into the sky.
This shit's getting really intense.
It's really heating up.
It really is.
This was a white spot.
It appeared on the horizon for a few seconds and it slowly turned translucent before disappearing
behind the clouds.
My new theory is that there's a difference between cylinders, triangles, do you know
what time the pilot noted it?
What?
420.
420 p.m.
P.M.
E.S.T.
420 p.m.
P.M.
E.S.T.
420 p.m.
P.M.
E.S.T.
420 p.m.
I don't want my pilot stoned, but I would rather them stoned than hammered.
They're drunk.
But I think that we're going to see a lot of shit come out in the next year or so.
There's another guy who just came out, the former USAF nuclear weapons technician by
the name of Adrian Reister.
He talks about the shit that he saw while he was working at this nuclear facility.
Oh my.
He was at the White Man Air Force Base in Missouri.
It's called the White Man Air Force Base?
I think it might be like Whiteman or Whitman.
Whitman?
But it's Whiteman.
It's spelled W-H-I-T-E, man.
So it could be Whiteman or, but he was there.
It was in Missouri between 2003 and 2007.
And he actually, this is where they held
the B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber.
I was also researching a bunch of other,
if you look up Skunkworks and the triangle shaped spy planes
that they've been trying to make for a while.
Would they say that they say are they have patents
for gravitational engines,
which either could be highly theoretical
or it is what they're saying is they are seeing shit in the
sky and they're trying to make engines to do the shit
that they see the things doing in the sky.
Well, especially when it comes to cloaking,
because again, going back to this story in Texas,
nothing appeared on the air radar traffic control
and nothing was showing on the traffic collision avoidance
system.
The pilot says we witnessed it for about five minutes
at which point it disappeared and then came back.
It looked like two boxes melting into each other.
Dude, it's fucking wild.
I love this shit, but this guy, he said,
he came out with another very long exaggerated story
of what happened to him.
He said he saw at least several UFOs.
His job was to maintain nuclear weapons on the base.
So this shit's like, you know,
the most dangerous stuff.
He's gonna kiss them.
You gotta pet them, you gotta keep them happy.
You better keep them happy, give them their grits.
Whatever nukes want at dinner, just give it to them.
Give it to them, draw them a bath, right?
And he said that he had this bizarre experience
and then he was in a state of high alertness.
He wanted to stress that because in the nature of the job,
he was 37 years old and he noticed the light or orb
hovering along the top of the tree line.
And I thought it was just a star at the time.
But as I continued surveilling the area,
the light orb shot above the tree tops
and hung there for some time.
And then he thought it was a satellite.
The transport team then arrived to secure the weapon.
So this is the thing too, when these shit,
whatever the shit is, whatever that shit is,
it shows up in front of these nuclear bases.
Especially the ones that have nuclear weapons
and the whole fucking base flips out.
So the transport team, it arrived to secure the nuke.
They immediately have to go and be like,
we have to figure out, there's so many here,
we don't know if it's the Russians or the Chinese
or we don't know what's happening.
Get off of the nuke, stop having sex with the nuke.
Get me out of your asshole, we have to send it to Israel.
We have to send it someplace else, sure.
The orb bounced a little in the sky
and then it shot to the left and then shot 90 degrees
straight up and disappeared, which is wild, right?
Isn't that reminiscent of how many people's fathers
left them?
Yes, very quickly.
Very interesting.
So that's a circular orb.
That's a circular orb.
But he also had another weird ass sighting
in the summer of 2006 where he was working a night shift.
He was maintaining a dummy practice bomb.
I didn't know they had that.
And I'm actually not sure even sure
what the maintaining a bomb is.
If you know, side stories, LPOTL,
gmail.com, please tell us.
But he said the nuke tech guy,
he'd encountered what he would describe as a shadow person.
He said he heard footsteps, but not the familiar sound
of one of his Air Force comrades
and standard issue combat boots.
Shadow person, another term people could use
for their fathers perhaps.
And then he heard these footsteps
and he went in to go investigate
and then he said straight up, he's like,
I saw, I can't really describe this other than a black mass
and the shape of a person standing at six feet.
He said it wasn't really a shadow,
but something that was slightly blurry
and didn't reflect any light.
And he said it was well guarded.
There was no way a person could just fucking be in there.
But then all of a sudden, it disappeared.
And you know what I maintain?
What I realized as I'm reading all of the shit,
and yeah, maybe now I'm becoming the Charlie Day meme,
right, with all the fucking-
Ooh, Charlie Day from Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
But all of the fucking yarn lines connecting all the points.
It'd be nice if they were friends of ours.
Sure, but my idea was what if like this is remote viewing
at work.
So somebody, so that was a person remote viewing themselves
into that scenario.
So the person's like, I see you here,
but that wasn't really the person.
Wouldn't that be the trippiest fucking shit in the world
if some of the stuff that we're seeing
and these like projections were like astral project?
I mean, this is high thought.
This is a high thought.
And you have enough tinctures still in your system
to be with me on this.
But you know what I mean?
Like this is-
My only thing is the CIA.
They're not good at anything.
True, that's also the truth.
They can't even get a capitalist elected in South America.
Like they have been attacking socialism forever.
And then you can't beat it.
No, so I don't know if they can do this.
This is really my major tenant.
We're gonna get to this in a series very soon.
But this idea that, yes, are the CIA like interesting?
Are they, do they have certain means at their disposal
that are effective?
Sure.
But I also think they're not very good at closing the deal.
Perhaps not.
A lot of bureaucracy.
There's a lot of bureaucracy.
But what if people could remote view?
I believe that that is one of my most deep
where we would thought truly is that.
I mean, astral projection can happen.
Isn't it just technology we haven't discovered yet?
Bro?
Bro?
Yeah, I know how to talk these people down.
Yeah, this is, you've learned this for years.
It's sitting at the bar of a sports bar.
I understand.
Yes, indeed.
How to end the conversation.
Well, going back just briefly to this UFO in the sky,
we, they keep on talking about these two boxes
melting into each other and they say it sounds similar
to a cube inside of a sphere.
That is exactly what everybody's been seeing.
That's exactly right.
That was according to Lieutenant Ryan Graves.
This is what he wrote.
He wrote, would love to see this zoomed in and stabilized.
But I feel like we're hearing a lot about the squares,
the cubes, the triangles.
It's a lot of different.
They really call them shapes.
And I got a really good email
from somebody who works with the federal government.
Someone here who's been working with,
so this is interesting.
It's like they actually got a perspective
of working inside of a television agency.
And this is why they think the whistleblower
John Ramirez is fake.
And I really like this perspective.
It would be interesting.
I currently work for a European intelligence agency
that regularly collaborates with teams from the CIA, FBI.
I do not know anything about UFOs
or the secret space program, unfortunately.
But what I can tell you though,
is that European and American ICNDAs
are absolutely ironclad, lifelong commitments
with literally zero potential for any sort of loophole
allowing an individual to be released from one.
Very scary.
Now John Ramirez says that he has an endless
like feedback loop with the CIA.
And he tells them that he's gonna release
all this information.
I don't know if that can even happen or not.
Who knows?
The only way a person can even acknowledge
classified information is if it has already been disseminated
into the public domain by other means,
such as investigative journalists discovering something
or by whistleblowers.
I tried to whistle and I couldn't.
Not a bad whistle?
That's a bad whistle.
You might be sick.
You might be sick.
And even if any analyst or operator
who cares about ever working in the industry
ever again will keep their mouth shut.
For example, when I began working with the IC,
I signed multiple, incredibly binding legal documents
stating that I cannot even acknowledge who I work for
or what I do while still employed,
which explains the Burner email, which is fucking awesome.
Moreover, I am legally required to provide
the agency country I work for documentation
of my whereabouts for the majority of my life
even after I stopped working there.
Wow.
So it is a full-time commitment for the rest of your life.
You might as well be a Scientologist.
I think they get them young, often times.
And I know there's a lot of people who are in the CIA
who know if they could go back in time,
I think they would say.
Well, you're out, Zina.
He thought about it,
because when he got out of college.
Well, he's bilingual.
Oh yeah, the CIA was all over him.
They were very, very excited for him.
And then.
He got us instead.
Yep.
We got him.
Anyway, be very careful out there.
And I do believe there's a lot of remorse
to people who sign up too young,
because it is your life and you live a life of secrets.
And it must be kind of hard.
I think there's the other side,
which is probably the people they're looking to hire
are the people that love it,
that love the Cloak and Dagger lifestyle.
Totally find out that their wife
has been an undercover spy for the past 20 years.
And then their entire life is a sham.
It's all that mirage.
How do you trust anyone ever again?
But if you're already a spy, listen.
At any moment, they could just put you in prison.
Sure, if you're already a spy, you love it,
because you're part of the game.
You're also a spy.
Yes, but you can't tell anyone.
No, man, fucking.
Even BTK.
Even Dennis Rader needed to be loved and acknowledged.
Fuck maybe not loved.
But he needed to be acknowledged.
And if you're CIA, you're undercover forever,
I'm just saying it's gotta be burdened.
It's gotta weigh on you.
I'm not saying nothing.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
I am just saying,
there are some people that love the burden.
Some, yes, I'm guarantee you that you are correct.
Well, all right, well, let's move on
to a little bit more of an earthly story.
Let's go to Indiana.
Oh, my favorite place in the world.
Is it?
No.
The place that you said you actively
don't want to ever go back to.
It's not a nice place.
The people are nice.
The people, not in the West is tough.
Not in this story.
So there's this dude.
His name is Thomas Holyfield.
He's 59 years fun.
And he had a roommate.
Now, apparently this roommate,
he thought was disrespectful to him
because she kept on being like,
you're drinking too much.
Yeah.
You're drinking too much.
Yeah.
Because he was a raging alcoholic.
But it's him.
He's the alcoholic.
You're not?
Exactly.
So she felt that she was disrespecting him.
Yeah, I was drinking all the time.
And it's like, cause I live with you.
Cause I live with you.
That's right.
So he was a heavy drinker
and she didn't respect that.
So in order to get back at her,
starting June 1st,
he began slowly poisoning Pamela Keltz.
That's nice.
You should just get like therapy.
You really should.
She was 64 years old
and he slowly poisoned her
with window shield washer fluid.
So she wasn't a real sommelier, huh?
Well, this is the thing though.
She really couldn't tell
that Windex was in all of her drinks.
No.
I believe there's a flavor to it that's good.
I heard that's sweet.
That's what they say about the other thing there
when you put the Gatorade in there.
What?
Yeah, dude.
What?
You're fucked up, man.
No, I'm not.
You're saying garbage.
No, I'm not saying garbage.
Have you been drinking Windex?
No, I have not had that in so long.
No, what I'm saying is this.
You know the thing that the fuel,
the oil, the thing, it's green.
What?
Anti-freeze.
Thank you, Fernando.
Anti-freeze is very sweet.
So people put it in Gatorade.
I've heard that.
And then they did put it, then they put a little something
in the anti-freeze.
To make it not as tasty?
Yeah, they probably should.
So anyway, so this man, he's pleaded not guilty.
And they say that Kelts was being treated
in an intensive care unit at a Michigan hospital.
And that's when Holyfield contacted police
saying he wanted to confess to poisoning her.
So this guy really, I don't think
that he would have gotten caught.
Well, Holyfield, which is interesting.
So apparently at one point, which, I mean, this tracks,
they had been in a romantic relationship, right?
He was with her.
And then I guess he had started renting a room for her
because, and he said, because she's my best friend.
She's my best friend.
That's what he said.
But then he told officers that, you know,
he's a heavy drinker.
And she in respect, he identified as an alcoholic.
Do you understand that?
You can't take his identity from him.
It really does seem like it was really important to him.
Yeah, enough to kill her.
Because he said that Keats was disrespectful.
And then he kept, he said, he put eye drops into a cup
she drank soda from, which is also like that gross thing
where just she had one cup.
Well, that's the soda cup.
Yes, it's a nice plastic soda cup
that slowly degrades through time.
And when it starts leaking, you die.
Well, it's like the one episode I saw of my 600 pound life
where the one was like, go get me my sweets bucket.
And then she had this bucket on a stick
that they go get and it was filled with candy bars and shit.
Don't give me my sweet bucket.
I haven't caught up with that one.
I have to, anyway, I hope they're doing great.
They certainly are still living up to the name of the show.
So this guy, he said that the record,
so this is what the record states.
He says, Thomas noted that the eye drops
were not causing severe enough illness.
Pamela would have hallucinations in diarrhea,
but then recover.
So the man just tripped out his roommate
and then she's got to go like, whoa.
And he's just like, what are you doing here, buddy?
Well, you could just see him move out also.
He comes into the living room.
You know, he's got his booze for the day.
She's got her soda cup and she's like, hey, hey, Thomas.
You see them nipper cows shooting all those diary out.
And you just sit there being like,
well, guess you got up the dosage.
Like that's all he could think about
just watching her listening shit everywhere.
And then he's like,
cause that was to make the living situation even worse.
If spy versus spy was a hundred pounds heavier and drunk.
Because apparently the victim here,
and again, RIP to the victim, we always say,
we empathize, of course.
You're right.
Well, this is a windshield washer fluid.
That's right.
Apparently he allegedly said that he put some of that fluid
in Kelch's two liter bottles of soda.
And then she became sick and went to the hospital.
So he's just getting hammered off of Bud lights
and cheap Thunderbird.
And then she's just slamming sodas.
It's not the healthiest home.
It's not.
And you know what?
But they say-
But we had each other, didn't they?
You really did.
They did.
That is nice.
They weren't lonely.
And this does sort of seem like Indiana catering
that you would get.
But just this idea that he felt he was so much better
than her, he thought he was so much better.
You know, every once in a while,
he'd take a little nip of the windshield washer fluid
just because it was just like,
well, you're getting her fucked up.
I'll get it a little bit on there.
I want to get on her page.
Well, he is going to have a great time
trying to find booze in prison.
You can do the prison hooch and you do the wine.
Yeah, you can get that one in Pruno.
You get the Pruno.
And then I'm pretty sure there's other ways
that they can get it in there.
Yeah, they get just straight up drugs.
Yep.
But anyway, so he, then he put larger quantities
of windshield washer fluid in her soda bottles.
And that was with the goal of killing her.
So he did the mug shot.
He looks upset in the mug shot.
Like he doesn't look happy.
He doesn't look satisfied.
It looks like he did what I had to do
and I did not enjoy the process of it.
No, he really doesn't seem like he did.
But you know, you can definitely tell
that they were a couple.
I don't know what this woman looks like,
but he looks like he could be a 64 year old woman.
So I just feel like they were merging into one.
Obviously she's going to be heavy set all she does
is consume soda.
It sounds like to the point where she can't even taste
anti-freeze or windshield washer fluid.
So I think they should have just worked it out.
I feel like they could have just figured it out.
I don't know why she didn't like his drinking so much.
He probably wasn't a nice man.
He was probably horrible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was probably horrible.
It's Indiana, bro.
Yeah, no, I know, yeah, yeah.
Getting drunk in Gary, Indiana doesn't make you nicer.
No, it really doesn't.
It's a fucked up story, man.
If you do have a chance to drive through Gary,
do it during the day
because there's no lines on the highway.
I found out when I was driving for 25 hours straight.
Yeah, it's pretty.
Almost, it's like that episode of the Seinfeld
where Kramer erases all the lines from the highway,
but it's real life and it's not fun.
It's what you'd call, it's like pure freedom,
is what you mean.
Indiana's more like Michael Richards.
Yes, yes.
So it's not Kramer.
Anyway.
It is closer, yes.
All right, this next story is,
this story is really fucked up.
And I, but it's a lot and it's a,
I feel like there's a lot of warnings here
that you can learn from.
I think the audience can learn quite a bit from this.
A Brevard Sheriff's deputy.
Brevard.
Held a naked man at gunpoint for four hours
during an armed robbery and the report shows.
Now I'm the man by the name of Amoni Robillard.
He's 30 years old.
He charged with robbery with a firearm.
So this is how this went down.
So this man, he basically set it up
for this guy to show up online.
I guess he did all of this online.
Wait, so the guy set up the bank robbery online.
Yes.
And so.
You can't do that.
That's like when people go to McDonald's and they're like,
oh, we don't wait in line, we pre-ordered.
You can't pre-order the bank robbery.
This is how they do it.
Basic, no, this is not even, this is not a bank robbery.
This is just straight up a setup.
This is like, this is how the cops set up
domestic terrorism quite a bit.
Right, where they show up and they give you the bomb
and they tell you, ah, come on, we're all gonna get together.
We're gonna blow up the Capitol.
And then when you show up to get the bomb,
they arrest you and you're like surprised.
Now I'm the person who was the terrorist.
I was just trying to be the terrorist friend.
You're the terrorist.
Now you're in.
But he did the same thing.
So he set this up over the internet to,
this was at an Airbnb in Skyview Drive,
and this is in Orlando.
So he set it up for this 35-year-old Kissimmee man.
He arrived at the home to have apparently to have sex
with a 19-year-old Orlando woman.
So he set this up like, we're gonna have,
you're gonna like, this is a whole sex worker thing, right?
And so he showed up, he met the woman,
the woman was like, hi, ready, go.
Robillard said, but she was like,
before they got going, the girl asked him,
you're like, do you mind taking a shower first,
like before we get intimate?
Comment, sure.
Yeah, he was like, okay.
The guy went to go into the shower.
When he exited the shower, there was another man in there.
Whoa.
Which is Robillard who was behind the curtain
the entire time, who's the sheriff's deputy, right?
He's a police officer.
He multiplied like gremlins.
Oh yes.
And he had two semi-automatic pistols.
He had a gun in each hand and he held him captive, right?
So he made the man sign a contract
saying that he agreed to pay Robillard $30,000,
which is, you know, I owe you was as good as money.
It isn't, but it's, so hold on.
So the man behind the curtain is not a cop.
Oh no, he is a cop.
The man who robbed this other man is a police officer.
Okay.
He set this all up through a Craigslist post
where he basically said like, do you wanna come?
He put up beautiful pictures of this woman.
He said, basically did it through casual encounters.
Like, do you wanna do an out call?
He came there, he busted it.
The woman who was a accomplice of this
said like, when did you take a shower first?
When he came out of the shower,
this cop revealed himself.
And then he, so this is a lot of legwork though.
This is a lot.
He's like, sign this contract.
You're gonna agree to pay me $30,000.
I don't even know how you set that up in a court.
Well, how do you get, how do you,
it's all garbage.
Does the man have $30,000?
I don't know why he thought that this would work.
And then he said, he even arranged
or just even fucked up.
This is a lot of infrastructure.
He arranged for a notary to come
and the victim's wife to come to the home.
Cause he basically said, I'm going to blackmail you
for this $30,000.
So I got your wife's information.
I'm gonna call her.
I also already got a notary on deck
to make sure that this whole contract's fucking legit,
which is also insane.
And so then he went to an ATM with the guy at gunpoint,
made him give him $200 in cash.
And then made him Venmo him.
That's so far away from $30,000.
Yes, yes.
He then made him Venmo him $450,000, right?
She's at $650 right now.
I mean, this is nothing.
I mean, this is not nothing, but.
Oh yeah.
But apparently the man told Orange County investigators
that he and the police officer had been friends
for about a year and that he had given poor cryptocurrency
and investment advice to the police officer.
So this, okay.
First of all, there is no good cryptocurrency advice.
It's so Florida.
It's chaotic.
It's an incredibly, incredibly chaotic way to invest.
So this was revenge.
This was very long form revenge from Robillard
where he said that apparently,
cause he lost, quote unquote, he lost $2,000
when the so-called Bitcoin company tanked, right?
It'll come back.
I mean, also you're asking for $30,000, which is a lot.
But he also fucking videotaped him nude,
tried to make him get hard on the phone, right?
He tried, it was like, show me, show me, right?
And then he was going to shoot him in the head.
At one point, the guy, the cop told the hostage
that he planned on killing him,
cutting up his fucking body, putting it in the garbage bag
and throw it in the ocean for the sharks to eat.
Whoa! Over two grand.
Well, I guess it was a lot of money for them.
The 19-year-old Orlando woman, Juryce Richer,
she worked in tandem with Robillard
to lure the man to the home.
So I guess she's also bad.
She's been charged with robbery, with a firearm,
and conspiracy to commit extortion.
How are you gonna make the contract hold?
How are you gonna get him to pay the fucking $30,000?
I don't believe a contract is legally binding
of its under-dress.
I don't think that there was a lot of thought.
That's opposite.
I think there was a lot of thought.
I don't think there was any-
I think there was a lot of action.
There was a lot of good thought.
Yeah. Well, there you go.
I guess don't give anyone advice on crypto.
Also, don't accept any advice on crypto.
I have Fernando shaking his head.
He's literally shaking his head
because he put half of his net stake into crypto.
We top hat?
I give Fernando minutes to talk about crypto every week,
and he says words, and I say,
whoa, I don't understand it.
That's when I just become Johnny Carson's sidekick.
What was that guy's name?
That other guy.
Yeah, hell.
You know him.
But honestly, I'm already,
I don't need new forms of money.
I'm already new money enough.
I just want my-
With the old money.
We just got it.
I know.
All these people with new money are like,
and now we're gonna create new money.
And it's like, we just got money.
Got the old money.
I got the old money.
Can we not move?
Everything is moving past us so fast.
I don't know what to do.
Slow down.
You know what we did?
You know what, Kissel?
What?
Sheep pharma.
Let's go the past crypto.
Let's go past all of the fake buddies and all the stuff.
Let's buy a thousand sheep.
And we just become sheep people.
Let's get into the business of sheep.
Let's get into the business of cattle.
Let's buy cattle, Kissel.
Why don't we get into the cattle business?
We'll be Wranglers.
Well, because we do horrible.
We do horrible.
Let me look at this.
How much to purchase?
I'm gonna see.
How much to purchase?
Oh, I feel like I'm sure there's a round table
of gentlemen episode.
No, but we did it with the cum.
We did it with the cum.
But I'm just saying-
You wanna buy a cow.
I wanna buy many cows.
How much to buy cattle?
All right, the cost of a cow will be somewhere
between, fuck, $2,000 and $5,000.
That's actually cheaper than I thought it was gonna be.
Because you gotta think every time you milk them,
that's money, baby.
And then you look at them
and you gotta break them down by meat.
Holy shit.
Because you sell a cow.
You got a 500-pound cow right there.
You got a lot of meat on that bone.
The money's in the calves.
Because the calves, that's $1.40 per pound.
And the price of a 600-pound calf is $1.26 per pound.
So, okay.
All right, that's not too bad.
Maybe we'll just buy one big cow.
That'd be fun.
And we'll just try to make more of it.
What if we buy a mommy and a daddy cow?
And we just try to make them make more cows.
They will.
See?
That's what they like to do.
All right, well, perhaps that'll happen in the future.
Let's move on a little bit here.
Let's move on to the wall and we look at all.
Yeah, I know.
Now you're just getting-
Cows are.
Yes.
So, another situation of a torso
not being attached to a human body
and found in a freezer.
Torsos really need legs.
It's crazy.
So, a boyfriend's been arrested
in a homicide case in New Orleans.
Detective found a woman's headless torso
stuffed in a freezer and a hidden power saw
with bits of flesh on its blade.
Cool.
I mean, not really.
Law enforcement officers searched the man's
ninth ward residence after an investigation
into the woman's disappearance.
The 34-year-old fellow Benjamin Meal,
he was booked on with obstruction of justice
in a death investigation.
Well, he said basically that he killed her.
Well, he first said he didn't kill her.
But then I think that he did end up saying
that he killed her because he definitely did.
She was a 36-year-old woman, Julia Dardar.
Yeah, she looked very sweet.
Bad name, very sweet woman.
And then they went and they said,
apparently he went, they were looking for her.
He went ahead and reported her as missing
and told them that she was suicidal.
And she said that they actually hadn't spoken in a long time
because of quote, unquote, her drug habit.
Oh, so it was her, she was the problem.
Oh, yes, of course.
And then I'm looking at a picture of the guy
and I think he had a drug habit as well.
And I don't want to, sometimes you can't judge
a book by its cover, but then sometimes you can.
You also know that the cops were sitting there
as he volunteered all his information.
And you know, they're looking at this man
who not to mince any words here,
looks like a villain from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Like he looks like a foot clan, like middle manager.
Like he's running their schedule.
He came up through the foot clan
and now yeah, he's doing all the taxes and stuff.
Yeah, he's doing all their paperwork.
But yeah, he doesn't look good.
And so you know, as they're sitting there
because they're like, they're looking at him
saying all this fucking garbage, right?
And he said, well, you know, she definitely
probably committed suicide, bro.
Definitely, she might have overdosed, you know,
because he was a part of this like,
she might have went to this abandoned
US naval support station that we,
with the street drug users, according to this,
they call the end of the world.
That's where she went to.
And then Bale told detectives,
I didn't report her missing because my cell phone,
I couldn't find my cell phone.
Couldn't find your cell phone for six days?
Yeah, and they're looking at him,
just being like, okay.
And then they got the search warrant
because immediately they're like,
we're gonna go ahead and get ourselves a search warrant.
Just to be sure.
And it's sad because I'm looking
at a picture of Julia Dardark.
It looks like, I mean, she's a young girl.
She looks sweet.
She looks sweet.
It looks like they could be fans.
As a matter of fact, they may be listeners who knows.
Six days later, detectives executed a search warrant
to find some clues in Dardark's disappearance.
A padlocked bus sitting in the backyard
with extension cords providing power to its interior
drew their attention.
This is the problem is that they had a house.
This is one of those standards.
The standard like they had a house
and then they just had this abandoned bus in the back,
which is normally what we have discovered
from thanks to our listeners
that are very experienced in this.
That's a place where a lot of times meth gets made.
It is in an abandoned bus or a car.
It's something away from a home
because these things tend to explode.
I do like the idea of refurbishing a bus,
living your best life on that bus.
Yeah, be the John Madden of meth amphetamine.
Where you just do it all in your bus.
You live in the bus.
Yeah, so the cops were like, well, that's weird.
They got this power cord going to this random ass bus
and that's where they found the deep freezer.
The affidavit said upon opening the lid of the freezer,
investigators observed the headless torso
of what appeared to be an adult female.
A deep linear cut was visible along the left shoulder,
upper arm area.
Yes.
Which appeared to have been inflicted post-mortem.
She was very much yet cut up,
murdered and cut up probably in some form of,
I'm not gonna say that,
I think the victim here might also have partook
in some of the drugs and that they were together
and there was some kind of argument.
And the problem with these types of drugs
that makes you mentally sometimes and emotionally unhinged.
She probably hit peaks of emotion
that you would not normally hit.
Maybe she wanted to move on.
Maybe she was sick of the bus life.
And that's what's hard
because you're not sick of the bus life.
And then it's like, oh, are you judging me?
Because I wanna live in the bus
that's covered in extension cords
where the moth is made
and you wanna have like a home with a bed.
You know, all that kind of shit.
And then he freaks out, kills her,
then he's gotta get rid of the body.
He then knows, he has this image in his mind
of every film he's ever seen
where you gotta cut the arms and the legs off
and then you just have this torso.
And the thing is though, the torso.
It's a lot of evidence.
It's a lot of evidence.
And it's the most of the weight.
It's like, that's like 80 pounds of your body.
You're 110 pounds.
It's probably like the majority
of your weight's in your torso.
Especially if you're Dolly Parton.
Think about that.
Not to give advice to anyone
who's gonna murder their significant other.
Melt them.
It just seems like the cut it up process,
you're spraying DNA everywhere.
It's not gonna make it better.
No, you need to either melt it
or you need to take the whole body.
If I was really gonna say like-
We know what we learned.
What?
Kolinsky, Kol-Kol-Kolinsky?
Rats.
With the rats.
You could do that if that,
depending on whether or not that is folklore or not.
But yes, rats could help
but they could still leave bones behind.
What you need to do is do what I'm gonna go ahead
and I'm not gonna say that it's good.
But Josh Powell, the guy that disappeared,
Susan Powell, what he probably did with her,
her body was never discovered.
And they just, I imagine that her body
was put inside of a mine out in the middle of nowhere.
And really what you need here is a mine.
A mine.
If you could take it up to a place
where you could really drop it down.
Whoa.
Utah.
Colorado.
Nevada.
Like you can find me down there.
But they weren't there.
No, you just gotta take a road trip with the body.
Drop her up.
And then you can still use,
when you have a person with you.
Yes, an accomplice.
Well-
But that's a problem.
Now you've got an accomplice and then-
When you're driving on the highway, you have the-
Navigator.
No, the lanes for-
You talking about HOV lanes.
HOV lanes.
Sure, yeah, you could pop it up,
you could put a hat on her and be like,
oh, no officer, it's fine.
She's just smelly, yeah.
High occupancy vehicle.
Really good.
That's what HOV means.
But you take her body,
you gotta get rid of the body.
Yes, you do.
Well, this man again,
he just left a lot of evidence for the officers to find.
But if you do have an accomplice in this scenario,
this is also a tip to you.
You're gonna have to kill the accomplice as well.
Everyone's probably gonna have to die.
Yes.
So detectives found a nearby Coleman ice chest.
Oh my God, humble plug for Coleman.
Good plug.
Yeah, you only gonna kill your roommate
or significant other.
You can get home torso in here.
Look at that.
They also, so in the ice chest was the saw
that was used to chop her up.
Yes.
And the saw, this is according to the caps,
they say it appeared to have bits of flesh
and fluid on the blade surface.
I don't know why.
A plastic face shield, goggles,
and additional garbage bags were also located.
I'm just so, thank God he was COVID safe.
Cause that's really,
when I come down and look at this,
how irresponsible are all of these maskless people?
Yes, indeed.
I can't believe it.
So he was booked with obstruction of justice
and the death investigation,
illegally carrying of a weapon
in the presence of controlled dangerous substances,
distribution of meth, possession of the intent.
Oh, this is a bad one.
Possession with the intent to distribute marijuana.
Whoa, no, not weed.
And two counts of creating slash operating
a clandestine drug lab.
You know what we need to do?
I don't see the murder though.
But Kissel, we gotta get last prisoner project on this
and free this man from his drug charges.
His weed charges.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what we gotta do.
We can ask them if we could just get those charges cleared.
I think.
And that's another victory for last prisoner project.
That would be in some ways,
but I don't think that's the biggest charge
the man will be facing.
That's what, but at least he won't be guilty
of marijuana crimes.
Just looking at the man.
I think he is a man who was very,
he thinks he's very tough
when he's screaming high on meth to himself in the mirror.
There's what I'm saying.
But I think prison is gonna be a brutal situation for this.
I'm gonna call, he already looks like a punk.
He looks like the real version of the bully from Doug.
Oh, yes, he does indeed.
Doug, fantastic program.
All right, well, let's go on.
Oh, this story, I actually like this story
before we get to here of the week.
We've been talking about criminal justice reform.
Yes.
We've been talking, some people say defund the place,
some say allocate the funds differently.
Yes.
We need therapist cops.
Therapist cops.
We need dog cops.
We need robot cops.
We need kangaroo cops.
Kangaroo cops are fine, robot cops not.
But anyway, LAPD officers, they were fired.
And I actually wanna go to bat for them.
And this is because we're equal here.
Oh, wow.
Everyone's equal.
How brave you're standing up for the police,
that's gonna really test well.
They're in their squad car, right?
It's fucking boring, right?
I mean, there's a bunch of crime and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, but you know, if you shut off the walkie,
all the crime goes away.
Nothing's going on.
Put on Kiss FM radio and just like rock out
to some Goo Goo dolls.
So they're in their squad car and like,
hey, we have a shooting.
I could use some help over here.
But they were playing Pokemon Go.
I actually didn't know that Pokemon Go still happened.
Oh, it still happens.
And the officers in their squad car
found that there was a Snorlax nearby.
Now, a Snorlax, yes, it is derivative of Dr. Seuss.
I think the Lorax Foundation sue.
I actually think Dr. Seuss should sue.
But they found this Snorlax and they're like,
well, fuck being a cop, we have to go.
And we gotta find this goddamn Pokemon Go.
This is the dumbest fucking shit.
So they did.
But apparently when they were doing that,
there was a series of other things that occurred.
And because they were too busy finding the Snorlax,
they weren't able to help people.
And then that was bad.
So they were fired.
That is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard.
Well, apparently here, I guess it's like,
I'm gonna flip out.
Because apparently this made up piece of fucking shit,
little monster.
I guess it's the rarest Pokemon available in Pokemon Go.
Well, this is gonna be the one that you're gonna want
to avoid in prison.
Or you're gonna want to avoid helping a murder for.
Investing in a crime.
Because this is really a big deal.
It's a chunky looking little creature there.
It's just a blue thing.
Yeah.
Is this like an NFT?
A little bit, in some ways.
In some ways.
So the officer squad car video camera shows
the two officers, Lewis Lozano and Eric Mitchell.
They ignore the request for backup to play the game.
That is, I just.
It's backup, okay?
They're not on the front lines.
They ignore the request for backup.
It's like, handle it.
Hey man, Cheryl Crowe started as backup.
Is that right?
And then she moved 20 feet to start them.
Oh, I love Cheryl Crowe.
So the pair were stationed near a robbery in progress.
After the responding officers put out a call for backup.
But they're like, yo dude, you handle it.
It's a robbery.
We have ourselves a Snorlax that we have to find.
I am just so upset.
You look at this fucking,
and I'm looking at all these stupid cards.
It's like $9 for the stupid fucking Snorlax.
Fucking bullshit.
It's all made up.
Pokemon Go was supposed to be.
Everything's all made up.
Pokemon Go was supposed to be
for overweight people to get out of their homes.
Yes, indeed.
Or an officer to get out of their car.
It was supposed to distract people
from voting for Hillary Clinton in 20 fucking 20.
Pokemon Go to the polls.
According to court filings,
an extensive review of the in-car video system
revealed that shortly after leaving the scene of the robbery,
the two officers could be heard discussing Pokemon Go.
That is the.
Including a Snorlax.
This is, you know what?
Honestly, this, you know what this is?
This is fucking, this is Chinese interference.
That's what this is.
This is literally them directly fucking with our country.
Well.
With these.
You're destroying the fabric of our society.
Tell me these officers aren't doing good detective work.
They include a Snorlax that had appeared
and the best route to intercept and catch it.
So they're like, whoa,
we're on the trail of this Snorlax.
Now for the, approximately the next 20 minutes,
the in-car video system captured petitioners discussing Pokemon
as they drove to different locations
where the virtual creatures apparently appeared
on their mobile phones.
And this is the thing, man.
And they wonder, it's just so hard
because they just wonder why everybody's mad
at the cops right now.
Everybody's so upset.
And you wonder why. Not for this.
They are for this.
Not for the Snorlax.
Yeah, I really think that they are.
I think that they are.
I think that people are really upset.
I would rather have the cops going out there
finding Snorlaxes and stuff like that.
Then shooting unarmed people, yeah, sure.
Sure, look what happened.
I mean, it happens regularly.
Boy, they're supposed to go and,
I think they're supposed to go and help.
Well, what's more helpful than when you go to a child
who says, oh, I would love to see the Snorlax.
But fuck you, I already got one, bitch.
Well, then they can show it to them
and they can share with them.
No, no, you never share.
Well, you can.
Anyway, so that was just kind of a fun story
about Pokemon Go.
And if you are out there and you're still playing it,
I hope everyone got the Snorlax of their dreams.
Oh my God, it's gonna happen.
It's someone else's.
Do you remember when people were finding dead bodies
all the time?
They still do.
I still feel like what is going to happen
is that this Pokemon Go,
if the police continue to play Pokemon Go,
they are gonna end up shooting somebody
thinking it's one of these Pikachu's.
They're gonna say, ah, we gotta stop the Snorlax
from raping that woman.
And then meanwhile, no, it's just the Snorlax
is just there and then they just shoot
some random person on the fucking head.
That is possible, especially if they do it
with the Google Glasses.
Go Google Glass.
Google Glasses.
Google Glass.
You know how well, you see how that took off
and how everyone's got it on their face
and how everyone's excited about it.
And every year they say like, this is the year VR pops off.
Meanwhile, it never does.
And the meta shit's not gonna happen.
It's just not gonna hold.
I don't think so.
Awesome.
Just before here or the week,
Moline, Illinois, parents have mixed reactions
to an after school Satan club.
Oh yeah, this is cool.
Just let the kids be.
They'll figure it out.
They're just having fun.
The whole point of the afternoon,
because this is the thing,
is that they're all getting together
to read all these banned books.
Great.
We're in, this is such a weird fucking timeline.
It is.
That's the whole point.
That's the whole point.
Is it Satanism?
Satanism is supposed to be the idea
of a non-religious version of a thing
that's supposed to illuminate you.
It's supposed to want you to get as much information
as humanly possible so that you are armed with it.
You can fight against ignorance,
the shadows of ignorance, the light of Lucifer.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, let's move on to Hero of the Week.
Hero of the Week.
This week's Hero of the Week is a little rat.
This is an actual animal that I believe is a hero.
This is a hero.
Because last year, I think the last week,
didn't you just do something that was like a donkey?
It was a donkey named after Betty White.
Yes.
It was a donkey named after Betty White,
even though the donkey didn't even-
Which, by the way, Betty White had her fucking birthday.
Did you wish her a hundredth birthday?
This is the thing.
I didn't wish her a hundredth birthday.
Because everyone said,
I saw multiple posts saying Betty's a hundred,
but she's not, though.
Her corpse is.
But it's nice.
I'm glad we could all-
I mean, the corpse is not to be,
because we love our Betty, of course.
Of course.
But at this point, the corpse, the eyes are gone.
Yes.
So the hair is now grown.
It's starting to turn to goo.
Actually, the hair is probably,
it looks longer, right?
Because of the degrading of the-
She might have been cremated.
Oh, I don't think they could burn.
That's how I'm going,
unless they properly put me in a sex museum.
Well, I think that she,
because she lost her husband in 1981.
And I think that he,
well, whatever he did,
she's just gonna do that.
You think she just dumped his body directly?
They dumped her body directly on top of him,
so they could always be making love?
Well, my grandmother made sure to bury,
she's buried by my grandfather,
and he actively was scared of her.
So he now-
Hey, you can never go away from her.
But yes, so this is an actual animal hero.
But I would say we were supposed to,
I guess people gave money on her birthday
to various animal funds.
That is very, very sweet.
But what I did was just,
I mean, Wendy really is a very privileged little dog.
Yes, she is, she's very lucky.
So she's doing very well.
Fantastic.
All right, so this is about Magua.
Now, Magua is dead,
but Magua was alive for eight years,
and Magua was a rat.
Now, Magua didn't commit suicide because of PTSD, right?
We don't know, but why would the dog,
why would the rat have PTSD?
Well, because it was a famous mine clearing rat.
So it would go and be like,
that's mine!
And then I guess they would explode said mine.
So it had a five year career,
and the rodent snipped out over a hundred landmines
and other explosives in Cambodia.
Wow.
Isn't that nice.
Because it's from the killing fields.
Exactly, because, I mean,
so literally this little rat
maybe saved hundreds of lives.
Yeah, that's why it's an actual hero.
Yes, Magua was the most successful rat
trained by the Belgian charity Appopo
to alert human handlers about the mines
so they can be removed safely.
The charity said the African giant Pouch Rat
passed away peacefully this weekend,
probably doing what rats do.
And he said it was in good health.
It spent most of the last week
playing with its usual enthusiasm,
but he started to slow down,
he started napping more,
and he showed less interest in food in the last days.
That's really very sad.
But you know, that's how they go down.
Yeah.
So it was trained to detect the chemical compound
with explosives,
and Magua cleared more than 141,000 square meters,
the equivalent of 20 football fields.
Wow, big ups to Magua.
Yep.
I'm glad that you're out there.
You're dead now, but while you were alive,
you were very useful.
Magua was capable of searching a field
the size of a tennis court in 20 minutes.
That's huge.
Something a popo says would take a person
with a metal detector between one and four days.
Damn, wow.
Good for that rat.
Yep, and it was awarded,
it was awarded the PDSA Gold Medal.
It didn't even know it.
No, it's still a rat.
Yep.
But isn't it nice?
It probably led to, I bet in a way,
looking for the landmines
might have been like fun for the rat.
Yep, he was the first rat to be given this metal
in the charity 77 years ago.
Yeah, I imagine it should be.
Because if it does this, it deserves a medal,
but I think no normal rat deserves the medal.
The PDSA Gold Medal,
sometimes it's described as the George Cross for animals.
That's incredible.
So there you go.
So for his life-saving devotion to duty.
Well, there you go.
So anyway, Magua, thanks for what you did there.
Wow, an amazing sense of smell.
And it's really, really great.
Yes, indeed.
Really good.
And now it's time for some listener emails.
Yeah.
Well, I do say, honestly, it's kind of serious too,
because his amazing sense of smell
allowed communities in Cambodia to live, work, and play
without the fear of losing life for them.
That's incredible.
Isn't that nice?
And now it's time for some listener emails.
This is another, this is a completion of the email
of how the CIA hires people.
And this is a person's idea of what goes on within it
from 10 gentle.
Is it LinkedIn?
It's LinkedIn.
Do they go on LinkedIn?
Yeah, they might.
In regard to what type of people three letter agencies hire
and how, Henry, you are correct in your statement
that they are mostly looking for level headed people
who can also react to incredibly fluid
and dynamic situations.
However, the IC is far less spooky and rigid these days
than the Cold War.
Back in the day, agencies look for two types of people.
For analysts, they would look for the top of their class,
Harvard PhD geniuses that could extrapolate data
like a human computer.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
For operators, people who work in the field,
it was more like that was more the well-known Jason Bourne,
hard nose, badass types that can get shit done
quietly, efficiently, and then charmers
who could flip a source for information.
That'd be us.
That'd be us.
Yeah, because I can't be a ninja.
No.
No, no, no, no.
We don't have the bodies.
Battery ram, boys.
Nowadays, however, the IC prioritizes analysts
who can handle extreme amounts of information
and pick out the most important parts from the noise.
This is due to the sheer number of signals
an analyst receives in a day, being overwhelming
to the point of insanity.
Well, that actually, when we went to the bathroom
at the Dirt Bar in Houston, Texas,
they had all those weekly world newses out there.
Can people in the intelligence world confirm or deny
that sometimes they hide real stories?
It would be like, Goat Boy found taking a dump
in a Walmart parking lot, followed by something
where it's like, that's an actual piece of information
about Russian intelligence or whatever.
So let us know where you hide in plain sight.
We do know that they do.
We know that, that they do that.
But if you have any more information,
that'd be awesome.
The hiring process, mine at least,
was some of the weirdest MKUltra-type
mindfuck shit I've ever experienced,
with memory tests that were designed
to induce a legitimate state of panic
to see how someone reacts to absorbing and handling
incredibly dynamic information while in that mindset.
Following on from this, a lot of the hiring process
is designed around seeking how trustworthy
you are as a person.
While polygraphs are still used,
intelligence agencies will also put
the potential new hire in situations,
unbeknownst to them, that seek to test
how easily they will say a dishonest statement, right?
No matter how tiny, even under duress.
For instance, a recruiter might say,
no, Ben, that's wrong.
You said in your initial interview
that you were born on a Monday, not a Tuesday,
and argue the point-to-point of becoming enraged.
And this is to test the subject.
They will be able to lie just to exit a confrontation
or to let a situation be more agreeable, right?
So if the applicant gives in and lies
to make the recruiter happy,
they will become undesirable as a candidate
as being dishonest about literally anything,
because that is a red flag to them.
That is one of the most interesting things, absolutely.
Yes, and so on the most part,
they honestly do not give a single fuck
if you tell them every horrible detail of your life.
You could have been a junkie, suck Hitler's dick
or whatever, shat yourself.
As long as you're upfront about it, they don't care,
because the whole point is to nix any blackmail material,
which is really, really interesting.
Interesting.
Yeah, they're very, who knows?
Because, so this is one of those things.
It's a murky world, but I find it fascinating.
Fascinating, it really is fascinating,
and will be, of course, in Washington, D.C. very soon.
Very, very soon.
Can't wait to entertain you all out there.
There we go, and this is a weirdo story.
This is from the UN to the-
If you are CIA, by the way, come and say,
I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up,
I'm up whenever, I got nothing to live for.
You got nothing to live for?
I have nothing to live for, CIA.
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, hire him, hire him.
Or thanks for the employment.
Yeah.
You don't know.
Pay me a crypto, oh.
Oh, fuck.
God damn it.
This first story comes from when I was on a weekend trip
with my friends.
We had planned a two-day backpacking trip
into the Uinta wilderness.
Wait, is this gonna get sexual,
or did I just infer that?
You just infer that.
Okay.
Into the Uinta wilderness,
to a somewhat well-known, but quiet place called Red Castle.
Oh.
The dispersed campsite we had planned for
was a small clearing in between a stand of trees
that allowed us to see Red Castle
and the small lake below it.
The hike in the first night passed without issue.
The strangeness we experienced happened mostly
on the second night and the hike back.
The first full day we were there was spent hiking
to a viewpoint over the valley we were in
and fly fishing on the lake.
That night as we were relaxing
by our small campfire cooking food, mid-conversation,
we started to get a sense that it wasn't just us in the area.
The sound of birds and crickets that we had listened to
the night before were all but gone.
And the air near us was noticeably more still.
This made for a more uncomfortable dinner
as we could not shake this sense.
We finished, cleaned up, packed our stuff,
and we went to bed as we had a full next day planned.
I'd fallen asleep in absolute silence,
but around the time of 1.30 a.m.,
I awoke to the sound of what could only be described
as violent thunderstorm rolling over us.
Wind shook my tent and the sound of thunder
shook me to my core.
However, it wasn't the thunder that scared me.
Instead, it was these quick flashes of light
that you would expect from a storm
right before another thunderous boom sounded.
A light would quickly grow and then dissipate
after reaching a certain point.
Almost like someone was turning on
an adjustable light switch to full power
and then back down quickly.
Over the course of the next half hour,
I watched this light slowly transform
into flashing lightning of a normal thunderstorm
and a deep resounding boom.
It just stopped completely
with the sounds of crickets resuming
five to 10 minutes later.
I finally worked up the courage to peek outside my tent
and found that the night sky was completely clear
with not a cloud in sight.
Cool.
Usually you're able to hear a thunderstorm coming
and listen to it leave.
This sounded like it started right on top of us
and ended there.
I finally passed out around 3.30
due to exhaustion from the night before.
I woke up around 8.40 the following morning
asking my friends,
I found only one of the three experienced the same thing
I did down to the same exact detail.
The other two said that they had not experienced
any of what we were talking about.
We spent the morning and early afternoon fly fishing
and hiking around the other side of the lake.
We packed everything up
and started our 10 mile hike back to our parked cars.
We were about an hour into the hike back
when we experienced the same lack of birds
and crickets chirping.
There were quite a few times
that our group spotted movement
and things from the corners of our eye.
We all got the sense
that whatever was watching us did not want us there, right?
Cool.
But by the time we reached the parking lot,
we were practically running.
And once we'd gotten to our cars,
we were able to center ourselves and calm down.
Get out of the big foot woods.
It just really fucked up.
It's just one of those things I've been out there.
Like I remember hiking in Utah with a friend
and we went out there and it really does.
There are these moments in time where you're out there
and you really do feel like you're being watched
and you don't know what the hell's going on.
But one thing I will say is
the nighttime stuff was really weird,
but the daytime stuff,
it really just could be wild cats.
Could be cats.
That's very scary.
I want to go camping now.
That sounds fun.
Well, maybe we'll do it one day for your 50th.
Fly fishing is really difficult though.
I want to go, can you shoot?
Is it legal to bring a shotgun out
and just start shooting at all the salmon?
I think you're not allowed to.
Yeah, it would ruin the meat.
It would ruin the meat.
Now you have to be really careful.
I actually kind of see fly fishing weirdly in my future.
I could see you doing it.
You got big foot woods.
And but it's hard to, it's hard to fling.
It is.
It is, but I really want to get into it
because I want to live my life up at the creek.
Get on up, got my weight is on.
Got there, got pentagrams all over them.
I'm going to probably get out there
about two o'clock in the afternoon
because I'm not really in the morning person.
Yeah, that's fine.
That's good.
Get out there and do an afternoon.
I'm going to love just sitting on that bank.
I'm going to sit in the bank.
I got a fucking, my dab rig.
Oh.
I'm doing dabs.
You're being nice.
Natalie's there with the top off.
Oh, nice.
I'm enjoying that.
I can look at her boobies.
I got the fucking, I'm doing the fly fishing.
She's just you guys.
Yep. Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
By then you're long dead.
Everyone around me is dead.
It's just, it's just us.
Well then I can see for, I'll be there then.
Oh yes, they're in from heaven.
You're up there, you Betty White.
Yeah, that's nice.
He's railing Betty White up in heaven.
And then I'll just laugh.
I'll just laugh just thinking about it like,
oh, no one would have guessed they'd see me here now,
city boy, out here in this creek, catching flies,
get all sorts of bass.
I think it sounds lovely.
Honestly, it would be nice, man.
Fucking listen to my binaural beats.
I'm getting there, man.
Hopefully, man.
One day.
One day.
We'll just live, live at the, live at the creek.
Yep.
There's like Paris Hilton when she did that farm show.
Yeah. Yeah.
But no, she's apparently we're supposed to feel sympathy
for her or something now.
I don't know how I feel about, I feel actually,
I feel absolutely nothing,
neither negative nor positive about her.
Yep.
Take your line and say I feel nothing
because that's true in this case.
Yes.
All right, everyone.
Thanks so much for supporting the show
and thanks to everyone who came out in Austin,
Houston and Dallas.
It was so fucking fun, man.
Truly awesome.
Really good, really good shows.
It just goes to show you once again, people are great.
Politics are one thing,
but man, the people of fucking Texas
are just fucking awesome.
They're better than the people I met in Florida.
They're absolutely better than the people I met in Florida.
If we have to pit people against each other, I suppose.
This year, this year, I'm just talking about
someone was in the water this year in Florida.
I don't know what's going on.
I know what's going on,
but Texas really was like,
not even, I'm not to be anything.
It surprised me with how friendly they were.
Even when like- It's just been so long
since we've been there.
So it kind of gets blurry.
In our audiences, as always,
or it's just some of the best in the fucking world.
I want to give a shout out to Matt from Pinpoint.
It was good to be firing out with the guys who do our merch.
It was so good to hang out with them.
It was so good to hang out with Brad.
We've got a bunch of good friends out there.
And we can't wait to come back.
We got a couple of plugs.
We got the comic book over at Z2.
Last comic book on the left.
Go check that out.
Order that for the spring, still on a pre-order.
We haven't started delivering those yet.
So I've had some people ask questions about delivering those.
They're not ready to go.
We won't be going until probably February or March.
Then next week, we'll be in Richmond.
We'll be, which I believe is completely sold out.
We've got Richmond.
We've got Philly and we've got DC.
It's really excited to come out.
See you guys again.
And I think that's it.
Awesome.
All right, everyone.
Thanks so much for listening.
Hail yourselves.
Hail Satan.
Magus Dalatians.
See you, freaky VRT girls.
Don't kill your roommate.
Don't kill your roommate.
Goats fucking move out.
All right.
Just ghost them.
