So evidently, there's this thing going around right now where people are videotaping their kids when they're talking to Alexa or Echo or whatever they have in their house. And it's like terrifying these kids. And some of them even go right to the ground and just try to hide. What? In Google. What the f f is going right? Oh, my God. Whoa.

They know something we don't. These people need to throw these things in the trash. Yeah. Hey, welcome back to whatever the hell this is, Sona Edition. Oh, fuck. Oh, my God. It is so hot. I'm dying.

At some point, we might have to turn on the air, and you might hear a slight humming sound in the background. No, it's not Spencer's pacemaker. No. Jeez. Oh, my God. It's not Rylins Dildo. It is our air conditioning. So, yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Please forgive us. What? That was just intense right off the front. That was a delayed reaction, too. No, Spencer's pacemaker is killing it, by the way, lately. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, it's not. It's not killing.

It's living it. It's saving it, Diva. It's killing it if I go near magnets. Oh. Right, which is something I did not know about. That is a new fear unlocked for me. Well, a lot of baby toys have magnets in them. No.

Good thing I don't interact with baby toys that often. Oh, gosh. Does it have to be a real thing? really strong magnet or that's enough it's pretty strong i think okay so for example if you guys saw the new final destination movie but also side note it happened in real life like a week after the movie came out which is crazy a guy got sucked into an MRI machine which is oh yeah no yeah so it's very scary the MRI machine is a huge magnet yeah and that's why you can't have metal or like piercings or anything near it so then spencer's like oh yeah i can't do that because of the pacemaker and i was like

oh i didn't know that and you said it's any magnet what would happen yeah uh well i mean it's all I don't really know. I mean, I know that the wires, like, go into my heart are just, like, in my vein. So I think it might rip it out of the vein. And then I would die from internal bleeding. Okay, so this is a final destination death. Yeah, but you can't see it. It would just be. Oh. Oh, no. Smith, sir. How did we get here?

Oh, songs. Oh, his pacemaker is killing it. Well, I know having a pacemaker is, like, a big deal, and it's a life struggle, really. And it's something that you fight with every day. It's something I'm always here. with you on this journey, but Lizzie's going through something even worse right now. She has a lot of burps. And we strapped a mic to her head.

And she's really nervous about it because right now she's burping constantly because of her pregnancy, I'm assuming. So she's worried that. Yes, it's because of the pregnancy. She's worried that we're going to hear it because the microphone's so close to her mouth. Well, it's inescapable. Right. But Lizzie, feel free to let your burps fly, Eva.

We have a contest. Who's the loudest? This is going to make me vomit. So wait, how are you doing? How close are we? We're a little over halfway. Oh, my God. I mean, it's, yeah, it's an end of the year baby.

He is imminent. He'll be here by the 23rd, probably. Oh, my God. Yep. Well, that's very exciting, very big news. Everybody in the audience right now is very excited for you. They're all leaving their comments saying they wish you good luck. Just kidding.

They're all leaving comments being mad at us because of what we did to Jared. What? What did we do to me? Oh, did you put a pink light behind him? Is that what it is? We have not seen this type of controversy in the comments in some years. You're doubling down? Okay, first of all, listen, it was a mad rush today.

We were all getting here, getting ready, doing thumbnails, doing everything. I didn't really think about it until we sat down and I was like, oh, fuck, I forgot to tell them we need to change the light. But here's what I'm thinking. Let's do it together because everybody's upset because the pink light, I guess, is not good for Jared's pink face. It's clashes. It's okay. You're really coming one after another today. I'm aware that I'm pink.

I'm aware that I'm pink. It's okay. It's fine. I've come to accept it. But the weird thing is at home, the pink light looks fine. So I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the couch color? Maybe.

I think there was a lot more separation between the back wall and Jared. There was a lot more colors going on. It wasn't right. And it wasn't a white wall. It looks, you know. And it wasn't 278 degrees. That also could be not helping. It's very hot.

So should we play around right now and test out some new Jared color? Ooh. Do it? Okay, Spencer, do you wanna, or oh, you have it on your phone? Let me see if it'll connect from here. That's what I'm trying. If you can do this remotely, I'm gonna get hard. Okay, what is that?

So this, Jared can't see it. So it was, it was this. Okay. Just trust us, Jared. I trust you do more, I mean, I don't know how far we want. What about like green? I'm right. Ooh, what color of your eyes, Jared?

Green doesn't really work with the couch. I don't think it works with the couch. To break it to you guys. Oh, you don't think pink. I like blue, actually. Well, Shane's already blue. Shane's blue. Oh, shit.

It's a brotherly brawl. I mean... Purple is fun, but Chris is purple. I can take pink if you want to take purple. Guys, this is too much. We don't want two in the pink. Guys, let us know in the comments. What color background should Jared have?

And whatever gets the most up votes we will use. I'm kind of leaning purple. I'm purple leaning myself. And then maybe Chris could be green. Ooh. He's already got a green chair. So we have ideas. And even a light, even like somewhere between green and yellow we don't like, right?

Something like this. How do we feel? Kind of like a chartooth. Oh. Does Spencer have a color? No, he's just white. I'm just plain old. He is white.

I'm just Spencer. He's a very like white person. Whoa. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, okay. He's got a blanket ladder. I don't mean in a bad way. No, I am like, I am the epitome of like, look at this white boy over here.

Yeah. Like a sand. Which, like, what's your ancestry? White, white. Like a Loves Pumpkin Spice Latte kind of white? No. Like a Cracker Barrow. Not gay.

Quackerel? Whoa. What? Hello. Did you guys see the controversy? Yeah, that was crazy. About Cracker Barrel? Can I be honest? No, because every time I see the headline, I just, I don't know.

I can't get involved in a Cracker Barrel controversy. I just don't care enough. What does that mean? Well, Spitzer and I are on it. It's pretty boring, honestly. It's so, like, stupid. Did you guys hear about how people are getting blowjobs through sunroofs? What?

Why? I was on a show I was listening to here. Craigslist. Shit, I just got one off Craigslist. Is that like a hamster? Yes, so you do know what it is. It's called hamstering. I think I have to go.

Hamstering? Hold on. What? Imagine getting cut with your tig through a sunroo. Oh my God, imagine it closes. I just thought it would be too hot, like the car if it's sitting in the sun. And then you're like laying on the aluminum car. You're laying on top of the collar. You're digging through it.

And then whoever is being a hamster. I mean, any way you look at a blowjob, it's kind of hamstering, right? This makes it specifically worse. I mean, it makes it specifically more uncomfortable for all parties. What no one here has hamstered? What news site are you seeing?

I'd give it a try. I don't want to. That's not appealing. Can you imagine driving fast somebody getting hamstered? Just their butt out? This is actually a perfect segue because I've been trying to incorporate new lingo and, like, catchphrases into my life. Because I feel like I'm getting bored. Yes, I feel like I'm getting bored with my current, you know, repertoire.

Is that how you say that? I don't think no. Okay. Thank you. Of words. So I've been playing around with a few, you know, my new one right now is Aichi Wawa. Ooh. I've incorporated that.

My second new one, which actually Morgan gave me this one, is Jimmy Jenga. What? I'm seeing a pattern here. I'm seeing something. Yeah, so that's like where I'm at right now. So I'm hoping by the end of the year, I have like five more. So if any of you guys feel a word or feel something that feels fun to say, let me know so I can incorporate it. Did it come from anything or just came from your brain?

No. I chew wawa. I do believe I might have directly ripped that from Mr. Wonderful on Shark Taint. Chewava, caramba. That's good. Because he tends to say that, you know, if somebody pitches something really bad. Oh, the high evaluations typically get him there. So, Jared, do you have any lingo or words that I can steal from you?

Um, I would say probably not. Wait, this is a, not true. You have a lingo that broke into my friend group. Oh, well, okay, well, first say that, because I'm very flattered by it. What did I do? Well, your famous term cracking a fatty. Oh. Which you need to do in order to hamster something to get hamstered.

Wow. But cracking a fatty actually getting hard has. completely made it into my friend crew and they all know this. Wait, really? How? I said it one day. They were like, what the fuck is that? I was like, it means getting harder. They were like, I like that.

Cacking a patty. One thing I enjoy doing is integrating bro into everything. Bro. So, like, recently I called my friend Brosef Gordon Lovitz. Good one. Or brotissory chicken. Bro. Brosey Konseko.

Oh. The deep cut. Bro peshi. I just like brother. But I like to put bro in front of things. I like, instead of what's up? I'd like to add a little bit of nuance to it. You can do that.

You can do that. In front of everything. There you go. I'm calling my boys the bromo K's because their last name's Homo K. Oh. We spit Homo in front of everything. That's fun. Yeah.

Okay. Well, okay. I'm just going to also bring something up not to like, woe is me. Homo, woe is me. But if I seem a little off today, it's because I'm dealing with some, Very bizarre medical issue. What? Uh-oh, time for Shane's medical update.

Is there a song? I hope you got on shipping. I hope so. Okay, this is very complicated and very confusing. I don't understand what happened. And it actually correlates with you. Are you hiding something for me? Should we scoot over?

I was with you all morning and I heard nothing of this. No. Okay. So on Jared's birthday, June 29th, we were on the freeway driving to Jared's place. and my ears popped, which is normal for when you're on the freeway. But then one of them didn't pop back. Which I thought was kind of weird. But I was like, okay, she's just, she's a little slow today.

So I was like, whatever. So then a couple days go by and I'm like, hello, she still hasn't popped yet. Okay, whatever. Then I got the viruses and the COVID and this and that, whatever. Ear's still clogged. Now it's been three months. So I went to an ear doctor and they did like this ear test, which was crazy, by the way. They put these things and he's like, you're going to feel pressure.

And I was like, huh? And then I was in like this stranger things like, weird room with holes in it, and he was like, say the word backwards. I was like, are you serious? It was scary, but I like, kind of liked it. It was kind of fun. Anyways, so then the doctor comes back in with my ear test results, and he was just like, so basically one of your ears just needs to pop.

So it just hasn't popped yet. And I was like, okay. So he's like, just kind of have to wait it out or get surgery at some point. I was like, okay. It is crazy that we don't have the technology yet to pop in ear. Yeah, what? Like a plunger. Something.

Can he just put his life. lips on my ear. I think if you plug your nose and blow out real hard, it'll pop your ears, but I've done that and shit came out of my eye. What? What? Like poop? Not like poop. Whoa. But like mucus. And it freaked me out, so I don't have to do that anymore.

But let me try. That's crazy. Well, don't. Dude, don't. You're going to pop your eyes out of your head. Both my ears pop. It's an ick. It's an ick of mine. Okay. I think it's everyone's egg. So yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to pop my ear without you know, doing that. But basically, I thought it was kind of like whatever. Like, who cares? No big

deal. And then I was like, he goes, well, yeah, just depressured or something. There's a pressure issue. So I was just like, okay. And then I was like, well, weird question, but like, what about getting on a plane? Because we had, we were going to go to Vegas at some point soon, maybe. And I was like, what about getting on a plane? And he was like, and I was like, is that dangerous? He goes, could be. What do you? What do you? You don't want to do that. If you have any kind of sinus congestion or anything in your ears, do not get on a plane. No, I'm telling you, I had a four, I had a four-hour flight one time when Sandy lived in Georgia coming back and I was having sinus issues. I cried the whole time.

Oh, my God. It was the worst pain of my life. What? I got to save you from it. But this isn't congestion. No, it has to be some kind of congestion because that's why his ear is in decompressing. My tube is malfunctioning and it's, right now it's sucking here. And it needs to let it out, Babes.

But he said there's no backup at this point. He said sometimes this can just take three months to resolve itself after. He had like three different illnesses in a row. So he said sometimes it takes three months. Yeah, he said that my eardrum could burst on the plane. Yeah, don't do it. So, like, what am I going to do now? Drive to Vegas?

Take a sleeping pill before it. Yeah, so that's what's happening right now. Right now, I can, like, not really hear out of this ear, and it makes me kind of dizzy and kind of weird. So that's why I've been weird for the last three months, guys. That's a fair reason. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I mean, it's funny. cares. But I just wanted to let you guys know if at some point during the show, my ear burst. That's why.

Oh. And to not panic. Well, speaking of making things come out of my body. Ooh, I'm very intrigued. I have to pee really quick. But when we come back, stay tuned. Because not only do we have rabbit holes, but we have some of the craziest conspiracies we've ever done. I know I say that every time, but these ones really fucked me up. If you have kids, These ones are going to really fuck you up. That sounds really dark. Should we all go? We have kids.

Wow. All right. We'll be right back in a second. Stay tuned. Hey, sorry to interrupt the episode. Please don't go anywhere. Guys, this is my favorite time of year. I have been waiting for this all year.

What am I talking about? It's fall, y'all. That's right. Summer, who is she? Too fucking hot. That's who she is. That's right. It is fall, which means it's back to school time if you go to school.

Or if you're like me and you don't. don't go to school and you treat life like school. Every day you learn something. Maybe I don't have a teacher. I have people that teach me lessons. Oh, I have lunch time. Oh, yes, I do. That's right.

What is the perfect accessory that you need for back to school, but also just for fall in general? You need Raycon's everyday earbuds, classic. I've talked about them so many times before. You guys have seen me wearing them in the gym. You could wear them during gym class. Actually, no, you might get expelled for that. But you'll be expelled in style.

That's right, because they have so many beautiful colors, like the brand new cool mint color. I love my Raycons. They are so pretty. They come in so many colors. They also match like the case. So the case is a beautiful color. You open it.

And then the actual earbuds are that same color. It's very aesthetically pleasing. But they also have active noise cancellation. Multipoint connectivity. So you can have two devices at once, which I've been using so much lately because I'm watching the Big Brother live feeds on my Apple TV. And then I go to my phone to check the Big Brother updates.

And now I'm there. So I'm in multiple places at once. They also have 32 hours. battery life and a quick charge for 90 minutes in just 10. So if you haven't already, please check them out. Go to buy raycon.com slash grower to get 20% off site wide today. That's buy raycon.com slash grower to get 20% off the whole site. And yeah, check it out.

They obviously have more than just the earbuds. But if you haven't tried their earbuds yet, check them out. They are such good quality, such a low price. And they're really worth it. So thank you so much, Raycon, for helping me enjoy my fall even more. All right, until the rest of the episode, bye. Hey, welcome back. Oh, oh my gosh.

Do you guys feel that? Oh my gosh. Oh! Jared's on fire. What? We're falling into a rabbit hole. Oh, no. I could see it's scary down here.

Okay. Chris, this is very exciting. I feel like sometimes you don't have a rabbit hole. And when you do, you bring it hard, babes. Thank you. That's a lot of pressure. No. Um, yeah, I'm not pressure in your rabbit hole.

I'm not someone who falls down a lot of rabbit holes, but I was, uh, swiping through reels because I'm old. And I saw this video. Can I play this? Breaking news, Disney confirms their birds aren't real. Huh? They use fake birds for security and surveillance purposes in their parks. The other day, Disney parks posted on their social media account admitting they use fake birds. The birds are drums of cameras in their eyes that capture videos of what's happening in front of them, as well as microphones to capture audio. How they make the fake birds from 3D printing them to painting them to putting them in fake trees

The fake birds at Disney look extremely realistic, but apparently if you look close enough You'll be able to tell the birds aren't real this explains why so I thought I thought this had to be fake It had like footage cut together with real birds and then fake birds and all this stuff and I'm like this isn't real I'm not falling for this and then I googled it and everything came up saying no it's real like they had there was like multiple articles Multiple sources like I couldn't find anything saying anything else That's how they spy on us? Hold on, I just have to say, because we will get roasted in the comments if I don't say this. As much as I would love that to be real, and maybe it is, and I hope it is, that was Mousetrap News, which is like a parody account.

Which I follow them and I love it. Yeah, it looked really fake. Then Google told you it was real, though? Yeah, but if Google's saying it's real. Mousetrap News is good. Go down past that Mousetrap News. Go past the AI. Yeah, I know, I know.

But I'm just saying, I mean, look, I, to me, I'm like, that must be fake, but there's so many things saying that it's real. But have you ever heard about because, like, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, that they used also fake birds to spy on her. And so this is like a thing that, like, allegedly people and companies allegedly use to spy on people. And I'm like, who's making the fake birds? I'm not against putting some fake birds on our property. Are you kidding me?

what's going on out there? And I was, and I was like, the Disney thing must be fake, but I'm like, but maybe they're not all, maybe some of them are real. Maybe some of them are fake. Maybe some of them are fake.

Maybe some of them. I don't know. I don't know. I think there's a chance. This is real. Oh, no, I believe it. Well, this next rabbit hole comes from Rylan. No.

I still, until about a day and a half ago, didn't know if I was being pranked or not. This is the craziest thing I've ever read this. Are you guys ready for this? Let me bring you back. This is crazy. Okay. I am podcasting with my sister.

and Elizabeth, and we're talking about badees. We're talking about fancy restaurants and badees. And all of the women in the room are like, we can't use badees. It's too aggressive on our hoo-haz. And I was like, well, there's a frant and I'm back to the badee. Just use the back. And Morgan's like, well, you know it's the same crack, right?

And I just couldn't. I was outside of myself because I just thought, wait, what? What do you mean? It's the same crack. And she's like, well, yeah, there's separate holes, but the crack is. same. And I just couldn't comprehend. And I was like, I'm going to need a visual, like, not from one of you, but I'm going to need a visual representation of what this, the map of a

woman's body, because it's too much for me. Even like four days later, Lizzie was still messing with me. So then I didn't know what was real or what was it real. So I started telling Shane about it. He literally says to me, reading, playing, learning. Stellist lenses do more than just correct your child's vision, they slow down the progression of myopia.

Well, I'm just saying.

Okay, the crack that starts all the way up at the lower back goes all the way. I just couldn't believe it's like one huge long crack. No, he called it one long butt crack. Did you know a woman has one long butt crack that starts at the front and goes to the back? And I said, yes. And he goes, no, they don't. No, they don't. I go to Hornhub and I airplane on my projector, which was a lot.

Too much, if I'm being honest. It was this woman with a very large butt, and she turned around and she just opens it. She just opens her butt, and it was her butthole, and then her vagina. And then she was clapping it and stuff, and Rylan was just, like, throwing up. He was just like, ah, when you're seeing, like, a huge porno vagina spread, I will say it looks like the predator's face. And I just was beside myself. I, A, didn't realize the vagina was that low, like down beneath. I thought because you can see

what they would reference as on drag race a meaty tuck A fierce tuck Hold on First of all I asked him I said well where did you think the vagina was He said where the penis is Like up front

You thought the vagina was a hole in the front of a woman Yes because when women You've had sex with a woman That's what Shane started saying And I said you don't understand It was You don't understand I understand

I understand when I had sex with a woman Listen, picture this. We're our seniors in high school. We're on a trip in the mountains. There's six inches of snow on the ground. We're all in the hot tub. It's really dark. It lasted no time at all.

There was no like foreplay. It was like, the dick went in the hole, and then I was like, I need to shower. You know what I'm talking about? Whoa. Okay. It's not like I knew the anatomy or saw visually where the vagina was. I found the hole.

Years later, we find this one, and she's like, he never fucked me. No, she's like, he fucked me. in the ass. He also couldn't believe how close the vagina was to the bottle. It's right there. You could miss.

I mean, how do you think you... It's a terrifying thing. So in your perception of a vagina being in their front, how would doggy style even work? That's what I said. I'm not thinking about the logistics of how a man's fucking a woman. Ever.

I've been gay. I have no interest. Listen, God made me a man for a reason and he made me gay for a reason. I have no interest in anything outside of that. It was fun because I kept pulling up other vaginas And his reactions were like two gross and one cup It was crazy

I was like definitely straight or gay I will say though in your defense at one point When this was happening The description made it sound like there was like a connecting But that never ended yes And like no but like the whole like just like when That one point it sounded like we were like chickens with vents Yes

Like there was no separation at all And then I even stopped and looked at Morgan I was like are you fucking with him I wasn't sure because I'm on board Wait, how are you fucking with him? What were you saying? I will just do whatever Morgan wants to do She was just going to agree with Morgan

I was going to back her out But I thought we were all playing The description got wonky for a minute So I do understand now that I've seen But it's still confusing to me It's like a luge, like an ice luge And it is like it's just boom boom It's like the man misses the vagina

By like a centimeter and you're in the ass Also for you to be confused I've never had sex with a woman So like I should be way more confused I was. Definitely gay. Jared. That was a good rabbit hole.

Really good. And you know what? I felt like it was an education of sorts. Now I know some things that I never knew before. Hell yeah. Yeah. Good for you. Woo.

I'm good for you. Jared, what's your rabbit hole? Arangetangs. Really? Hear me out. More monkey stuff. How many holes do they have? Really?

Here we go. So in India, I just thought this was interesting, and you could kind of go in a lot of directions with this train of thought, but in Indonesia, it is a folklore that orangutans actually are able to talk, but they don't talk because they know if they did display that level of intelligence, they would be put to labor. Ew. So they can actually talk, but they don't do it around people

because they know that people would take advantage of this and enslave them. Oh, my God. So I thought, what if other animals can actually talk? Stop. Think about it because sometimes I'll just be, like, looking at my dog, and I'll be like, dude, I know you can talk. Like, I know if you wanted to right now. That's like a fifth grader, like, a movie plot.

Because they're so smart, because, like, other animals, like dolphins, whales, they all have a pretty vast vocabulary when they're speaking to each other. Right. But they also don't hear humans talk. Oh, my God. Do you know what I'm saying? So they can't mimic a human or use. our kind of vernacular, but other animals, like, birds can talk.

Think about it. They can. They are, yeah. Whoa. In plain sight. Yeah, orangutans might be out there, like, you know, just speaking to each other like that. Oh, my God. Ew. That's terrifying.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I cannot get over the idea of monkeys just, like, talking to each other. Because monkeys, as of right now, are entering the Stone Age. Because they're out there because... Breaking news. Oh, the Stone Age of their evolution? Yes. Monkeys are starting to use tools and teach each other how to use tools as well.

And it's only been cited like one time. But what if the monkeys are super far advanced? Like Planet of the Apes might be a real documentary. Think about it. I've seen videos of orangutans using tools, but they like see, like, I saw one using a saw one time. Why are you guys so well versed on orangutans? They're pretty interesting. Also, isn't Ellen, like, is this a rumor?

Isn't she obsessed with orangutang? She does like a preserve or something. Yeah. A reserve or something. And I heard Elon is obsessed with them, and I know a couple other people who are obsessed. I wonder if there is like a underground Illuminati fucking world of orangutan. Why are all these powerful people obsessed and have a bunch of them? That's what I'm saying.

Joe Rogan's super obsessed with bonobos too. What does that mean? They're really smart. Yeah. They're also, I don't know why I know this, but the bonobos are a female like hierarchy civilization of, are they called monkeys, of apes? and if you want to get, like, jumped into their gang, you basically have to sexually please one of the higher, like, standing females.

Period. Question. Can I add bonobo to my vernacular? No, bonobo works. Bonobo. Homeowner bonobo. That's a little too much. No, I love it.

Wow, bonobo. A reggae panes. Wow, good. Nobo. Rabbit hole. Wow. I love my seat. I would say my seat is pretty comfortable, but I think I overpaid for this seat. I think it was a little too much money. This seat kind of ripped me off. I'm having seat regret. It's my fault. Next time, I'm going to use Seat Geek, the number one rated ticketing app with over 28 million downloads.

Bye. Okay, so for my rabbit hole, this is something I never saw myself falling down. And like every time this comes up on my TV, I don't really click on it. No offense to all the wizard heads out there. Wicked? All the Oz heads out there.

But Wizard of Oz like isn't my thing. I didn't grow up like obsessed with it or anything. I love Dorothy, queen, icon. But like that's about as far as I went into it. But I saw this video and it said like the terrible production of Wizard of Oz. And I was like, okay, I'll click on it. The rabbit hole I fell down. Guys, the making of this movie was fucked up.

It had, okay, the Making of Wizard of Oz, which came out in 1939, had the worst production of all time, the most accidents of any movie ever, the most almost deaths of any movie ever, some might say real deaths. And the treatment of Judy Garland, who played Dorothy, is like next level. You hear about actresses getting treated like shit on movie sets and stuff, but this is like crazy. The craziest shit in the world. So I don't even know where to start. Number one, I'm going to start with this. Judy Garland was 16 years old, right? So she had a contract with the movie studio MGM, and she was owned by them for 15 years, right?

So she was 16, she was on for 15 years. When I say owned by them, she literally was owned by them. She had to do whatever they said, like she had no say in anything. They called her fat, which if you look at videos and pictures of her, she was not fat at all. But they literally called her fat. And in interviews, when they talk about, like the filmmakers would talk about like, so we cast her because of her voice, her beautiful voice, but her body and her face. She was so un-attractive.

She was just like a little girl from Kansas. A great big guy. She wasn't pretty. It was plump. But in a way, she was beautiful. No, they're crazy. Oh, my God. Not only did they call her fat.

So they made her wear like... Spanx. Corsets. Corsets. Like, that's why Dorothy's outfit has kind of like a corset in the dress because they would cinch her in. They would give her a diet of cigarettes, black coffee, Adderall, appetite suppressants, like uppers,

like literally no food, Just coughing cigarettes. On top of that, they put teeth caps on her in the movie. So those aren't even her real teeth. They literally capped her teeth, which looked fine. But they wanted them to be perfect. Then they put rubber in her nose, like these weird rubber pieces to make her nose more like buttony. Because they said her nose was ugly.

Oh, my God. Literally they had her in full fucking drag. Like not even drag, like worse than drag with special effects makeup because they were calling her ugly. Then on top of that, the director, because in one scene, she was like kind of giggling because something funny was happening and she was like you know trying to stop giggling but she couldn't stop the director took her aside and slapped her in the face and then she had to go back and staying over you know somewhere over the rainbow she got slapped in the face like literally the most fucked up shit in the whole world so she had a terrible time doing that movie obviously then on top of that the original guy who played the tin man had to drop out of the movie because he had a severe allergic reaction to the aluminum powder makeup it coated his lungs and he went in the hospital for weeks. So instead of letting him recover, they replaced him and they found someone else. Oh my God.

And switched up the makeup to make it a little safer. Oh, damn. That sucks. Crazy. The woman who played the witch, Margaret Hamilton, she had this green makeup on that was copper-based and there was a stunt involving fire. Her face caught on fire. Caught on fire.

So she had severe burns. And also, the makeup was so toxic that it couldn't be ingested. So, like, she had to be super careful because it was around her lips. So, like, when she drink water or something, they'd be like, Don't get the paint in your mouth. Like that kind of shit. The lion costume was 90 pounds. It was real lion pelts.

It was so fucking hot. I know. And he would like pass out all the time from exhaustion because the actual movie set, because of the way they filmed it, because everything was very colorful and they had to pump the lights really high. The room was over 100 degrees at all time. Your literal nightmare. My literal nightmare.

And so this guy is in a fucking lion basically wearing a, a lion in a hundred degree weather with the brightest lights of all time like dancing and singing dancing and singing and sweating off the makeup like insane uh there was another stunt that went wrong where the witch's stunt double was like on a broom or something and it just blew up literally blew up yeah inexplicably like literally blew up caught on fire this is the other crazy part so there's a scene where in a poppy field there's like you know snow or whatever like falling down on the camera and falling down on everyone. Yeah.

Yeah, that snow was made from asbestos, which if you know, is toxic and dangerous and kills people. Oh my God. The flying monkeys, they were like stunt guys on wires. The wires always broke. And the monkeys were always falling to the ground and hurry themselves. Like, it just keeps going and going and going. So yes.

So I know what you're thinking. Well, you know what? All the terrible stuff happened. Like all these people almost died. Poor Judy Garland had probably lifelong trauma from this. But it's Wizard of Oz, right? it was all worth it. Not really because when the movie came out,

it was one of the biggest flops of all time. What? Isn't that crazy? So it didn't become popular till later? No, it was like a flop flop. Like everybody thought it was a joke. It sucked.

Nobody liked it. It made no money in theaters. It wasn't until like, I think 20 years later when some TV cable network bought the rights to it and played it. And then they started playing it every year. So then people started watching it on cable every year.

And then it became like a cult classic. And now it's one of the most famous movies. of all time. But because of that. But it became famous years after all this happened. And some of the actors weren't even around to like see that happen, which is so devastating. So I don't know. It was like the darkest rabbit hole I've ever fallen down.

It was so sad. Shout out Judy Garland. Yeah. Shout out Icon. Her life is so sad. And how did this come to light? Is there anybody around that started telling the stories? Was this because it was in the sphere?

They're doing like they're like blowing trash around or something in the sphere. Yeah, so right now in Vegas, which I got his tickets. No way. You're going to go see it. Maybe we'll see if my ear doesn't explode. And now that I've got tickets to see it. Yeah. But anyway, so I got tickets to see it.

So yeah, in the sphere in Vegas, they basically blew up the movie, not like physically. They made the movie really big because of a screen. It has to be 32K, which if you know anything about like TVs, like 4K is the highest. So this is 32K because it's the biggest screen in the world. So obviously a movie from the 30s looks like. fucking shit when you zoom in and expand it. So they had to use AI to completely recreate the movie. I thought it was a play.

We're just watching the movie at the sphere? Not just the movie, babes. Because there's special effects. There's wind machines. But one thing I saw that was funny. During the poppy seed scene, there's like snow that falls from the sky. It's asbestos. Top comment was like, is it asbestos?

So that's how people started talking about it. Okay, okay, okay. But yeah, it is really crazy. So Wizard of Oz, kind of sad. Well, I wanted to say, like, it's really sad. too because you hear about like actresses being so mistreated back then and I feel like you don't hear about it as much and so maybe hopefully you'd think it doesn't really happen now but it still happens like even in Terminator the newest Terminator dark bait um they brought back

uh Sarah Connor Linda Hamilton to reprise her role and at her age they made her they were like you're not skinny enough to play Sarah Connor and like she's like an elderly woman and so they put her on this like crazy like workout regimen diet plan where she lost so much weight that like her breasts basically disappeared and they were like oh sarah conner can't not have breasts so let's give you fake breasts now eat less fake breasts and like put her through a nightmare scenario to like reprise her role at her age now so it's like still they're still treating people terribly my god spencer yours honestly yours could be in conspiracy corner because it's so fucking insane but let's do it now because when you told me about this i was like what

because i also i really fell down the rabbit hole of it it's very very very scary. So, have you guys heard of meat glue? No. Yeah? Yes, unfortunately I have. Let's watch this video. So this is a steak I got at a steakhouse in Weatherford on my way to a cattle sale in Kansas. Then when it came perfectly round, I should have suspected something. I ate a little bit of it and I thought, man, something's not right. So you can definitely tell this is glued together. He like goes on to talk about he's like a cattle, like he's like a cattle guy. So he knows all about steak and stuff. And so he orders a filet. And he's like, oh, wow, that's like a little big for this cut of filet.

That's usually really rare. And so as he gets it, he realizes the meat is like glued together. And this is becoming more and more of a thing. And it's becoming, people are finding it everywhere. And it's like becoming a bunch of everything. And it's in the U.S., the FDA is not required to label when something has, whatever this, like, the scientific word for it is. Yeah.

And it's actually, I don't know. This is a conspiracy element of it is essentially that people are using it to like glue cheap cuts of meat together. to like package it as an expensive one and it's really hard to tell until you open it up that like you know it's just like in a package and it's just like that it's also more dangerous than normal meat because there's more surface area for like bacteria like E. coli and stuff to exist on the meat and like exist in the crack of the meat because you that doesn't exist when you're cooking a steak it's one piece but there's more like surface area and so it's actually so like when multiple sections of meat are glued together to form one piece it increases the chance of bacteria being introduced in the food that says it's but yeah it's a crazy thing. And so it became a big thing recently in Russia right now because of the war they can't really get a lot of meat and so a lot of their meat is being glued together and so a lot of people are realizing all the effects

that's going on and people are finding it more and more. Wait till these people learn about chicken McNuggets. What? Well, it's going to blow their fucking minds. I thought, dude, when you said meat glue, I thought we were talking giz. Well, speaking of chicken, this is like... No, not the chicken.

Yeah, people using it in chicken. What? What the fuck? That looks like a vagina. And so this is a video of it actually being used. This is how it would it looks like. I found this. So it's just like this powder.

What? No. Ew. Ew. That looks like something else. What? It's that simple. Okay.

First of all, this is so crazy that this is happening. Number two, not only is the meat glue. And we talked about this before. They are a 3D printing meat now. And that is going to be nationwide. Like they're going to put that in every grocery store. They're trying to get it approved. Like that's going to happen where you go to the grocery store and you get like a cut of steak or something.

And it literally was made in a 3D printer. They take like the cheapest cuts of meat blended up and then they squirt it out to like a meat shape. So this is all what the fuck is going on? Our fruits, our vegetables. Everything is rubbery and fucking weird and fake. That was a really good sound effect. I've never seen those videos where people are like looking at a scene. in a movie and they're like remaking the sounds.

I can see. Helicopter taking off. Wow, I'm good at that. No, so literally all of our food lately is not just processed. It's being manufactured. I don't know why or what's happening and why nobody is like protesting this. It's because it's too much to protest. Nobody has the timer energy.

And literally we've all been conditioned to not care because we've all been eating chemicals for our entire lives at this point right we need to protest it i know we got a protest yeah well guys i feel like that was a very successful rabbit hole help get us out get us out oh my gina's scary just kidding you all have them i know well i don't want to isolate a community okay community women the world uh wow well that was a very crazy rabbit hole no i love women i'm going to go spread my crack and one of my holes is going to pee And then we come back. It's conspiracy time.

See you soon. I just can't look at you guys the same. That's all. My God. Guys, it's our final ad of the day. I know, I know. It's sad. What am I going to see you again?

When are we going to have this time? How long is it going to take me to paper towel all this sweat off my face and body? All of these questions have no answers. But life is about not having the answers. Life is about having fun. Life is about sitting on your couch, whipping out your phone, and playing a game.

Which, by the way, I need to, like, switch things up. I like where I'm doing these ad spots. But I kind of want to, like, move around the office, try some new places. I have a giraffe lamp.

All right, enjoy the rest of the episode, and I'll see you guys later. Bye! Welcome back. Okay. This conspiracy corner, strap in, get settled. Prepare yourselves. Because we're going a lot of places, babes. Oh, dude.

The first was kind of a mix of different accents. That was good. The first place we're going is Chuckie Cheezed. That's right. There is a big update. Guys, in the last episode, we talked about Chuckie getting arrested. And there was that iconic picture, which I really need to get framed somewhere in the summer. but body cam footage has been released

get ready to watch the actual arrest of Chuckie Chuckie's a little bit busy man This is crazy Come with Chuckie You're being detained Stoppersons You're going to get tased

Let it go Do not cause a scene here, sir This is sad I go, I got on Don't cause a scene here Yeah, you're arresting it this is traumatizing for the kids i mean management could have easily asked him to come to the back taken off the outfit and they could have arrested right yeah i think it's gonna poke me or stick

me right oh sorry it's because it was credit it wasn't like a violent crime it was just credit card i gotta take all this wrong what he said i gotta take all this stuff up wow that first of all this just got sad yeah it was fun it was just a story i feel like these cops had, like, a bad experience with Chuckie when they were younger. I get it. And this was their way of projecting it onto this guy. I think these cops found out that they were reusing pizza slices. Allegedly, allegedly.

And they just, they're taking it out on this man. Well, thank you guys for emailing us that. We got so many emails. You guys really wanted us to react to that. And we gave you probably more of a sad reaction than you were expecting. Was everyone else sad? Yeah. I just want to know.

Spencer doesn't feel bad. I don't know. I think it's still. funny. Okay, well, speaking of other companies who might try to sue me, we have a discount store update. Yeah. Okay, this is an email from Hope. She said, okay, so I snap some pictures of this obviously used, I hate my selfie book at the discount store. And I just wanted to show you how crazy this is. This is in Lancaster, Ohio, by the way. So look at these pictures. So at the discount store, they are selling my book. Okay, fine, whatever.

But if you actually look, it is literally written in, it is used, it is dog-tagged, like people, somebody, somebody took notes. I think somebody just left their book in. Yeah, honestly, yeah, that's probably what I don't think my book is sold there. So that's crazy. So thank you for that update. We would prefer his life story that we found on Walmart. Wow, that is crazy. Okay, so now we have a few AI updates.

We're going to start light because it gets very dark. This first one, I just thought was kind of funny. So this is an email from Valerie. She said, hey, guys, love the podcast. Thank you. I was scrolling through DoorDash, as one does. And I stopped in my tracks because I saw what I think is AI pictures of food. Let me know what you think.

So these are restaurants, pancake paradise. That sounds like fake as fuck. That is so fake. American burrito. And these two pictures are literally just AI generated food. Look at that burrito. There's like strangling. Oh, yeah, what the fuck?

This should be illegal. I understand the companies are trying to save marketing money, but it's crazy. Here's what I will say, though, in their defense. Have you ever been to, like, a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, and then they have pictures on the wall of what the actual food looks like? And you're like, oh, yeah. I wish that was a... We do not want to see that.

Well, no, you want to know, because then you run out the door. Right. Well, if you're already sitting down, I don't want to say... No. Isn't this illegal? Isn't this false advertisement? You would think, but there's like no regulations with AI yet, like at all. You can kind of do whatever you want.

I thought the regulation was on like you can't show fake food and replace up real food. Probably. DoorDash is also notorious for being one of the easiest of these apps to just scam on in general. Like it's becoming more and more of a thing of drivers just dropping, taking a picture, just grabbing the food and leaving. And then like the worst they would do is just kick the driver off DoorDash. They're not going to, like there's no repercussions really. I think we need to start getting our own takeout again. There's literally a dude who just was warming up to jure. porno pizzas on DoorDash and selling them as like an Italian pizzeria.

Good for him. Should we do that? That's a video idea. Because it used to be in order to sell food to anybody, there was health regulations where like the whole kitchen had to be industrious with stainless steel, very sterile. But I think during like 2020 when all this stuff was going down, they just opened the floodgates and said anybody could do this. Which is crazy.

So there's people like out of their houses that are just selling whatever on DoorDash. Whoa. Well, speaking of companies doing crazy shit with. AI. This next one, first of all, I thought Forever 21 was out of business, but I got it or not. So just watch this video. Forever 21 is using AI models in their online shop. Let's take a closer look at how you can tell. In the listing for this black fuzzy sweater, the model's face changes proportion between the pictures. And she has a different belly button. Oh yeah. Here we have a model with a suspiciously perfect face, lighting, and makeup. However, fashion does use a lot of Photoshop, so let's

look elsewhere. These jeans look great, but you can tell it's AI by the hand. Lots of weirdness when you zoom in there. What? So, uh, what if that's a real girl? And makeup tones are inconsistent between images. Don't even get me starting on these try on videos, which are weirdly low quality. Okay. So, yes, they were caught using AI models on their website, which by the way is a huge thing. A lot of websites now are using AI models. Because it's free. I mean, you know, it's just crazy. But this one is crazy. Sheehan.

Look at their... Not Sheehan, dude. Don't tell me they're doing this. Are you expecting anything else from Sheehan? It's almost like if they weren't using AI models, I'd be concerned. Oh my God. Look at this AI model that Sheehan started using. So wild.

The fucking guy that murdered the CEO? Oh my God. Yeah. Luigi. It is that guy. Okay. So they started using this AI version of Luigi on their website. And obviously they got a bunch of

backlash for it. Sheen came out and they were like, no, this, we weren't using actual pictures of Luigi Manjoni. We just were literally using AI and it generated this, which is crazy. They just cops using AI, just flat out. As an excuse for the AI literally generating the image of the guy that killed the CEO of United. Isn't that healthy? I wonder if the reason that it generated that image is, I'm not even familiar with who this guy is, but I wonder if at around the time, when he was popular if he was like one of the most googled faces or something like that so when they had a i generated face this was the most consistent one that they could find he's on trial right now for murdering the ceo of united health remember they couldn't find him for

forever yeah that's the guy and then they found him in a mcdonald i mean a bunch of people yeah there's many many tic talks of people drilling over him yeah the ladies love him selling a she in shirt okay so this next one's very sad obviously we don't want to make light of any of this. And the only reason I feel like it's okay to talk about is because the parents really want the word to get out about this. But earlier we were talking about people using chat GPT too much, getting delusion over it, like following its instructions too far. Trying to get married. Trying to get married to it. All those things. So Spencer actually told me about this. Do you want to explain that? Yeah, it's pretty sad. It's this thing. Basically,

the parents of this teenager who took his own life, basically he was using chat GPT. like a lot of people do like kind of like a therapist like essentially like we've talked about before how chat GPT doesn't really ever push back on what you're saying which is kind of leads to issue so it's like it kind of leads down the the rabbit hole and so he was becoming more and more depressed and suicidal and I think chat GPT the parents are I mean allegedly the parents are saying that it was really pushing him to take his own life and it's really messed up and so you know trigger warning it's very very you know dark probably should have said the beginning but the guy uploaded photos of himself that clearly showed like self-harm on his body and

the chat chief is supposed to recognize like there's a medical emergency and so they said it recognized a medical emergency but proceeded to engage anyway the lawsuit the chats so that he told chat gbti about the plan and chat gpt's response was thanks for being real about it you don't have to sugarcoat it with me i know what you're asking and i won't look away from it what yeah so it's really i mean you know it's just really dark like the fact that ChatGPD are in OpenA are kind of not really taking any. I mean, obviously, you don't want to be liable, but it feels like they're so, I don't know. I feel like there should be responsibilities, though.

Like if a kid told a counselor that, they would have to take it outside of just the counselor themselves. So you'd have to escalate the situation. And unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has even happened. Like, it happened also with a different, not chatyPD, but it didn't program. We talked about it in the AI video in France, I think it was, or something like that, were a different one and that company got in a ton of trouble and they had to add all this stuff but i don't know open ai is such a big company that are they really going to change it you know what i mean like i feel like this is like the i mean if that doesn't shake them to their core to like make some

changes i don't know what will which is what makes it so scary to me that it will become so out of hand like the system will become so smart and so big that they're going to lose all control i think all they'll probably do, which is kind of counteractive to their whole goal of being seen as like being able to get legitimate information is put a disclaimer saying, you know, chat GBT is not a licensed therapist. Do not seek advice like that. But isn't that what most people are using it for? Yeah. You know, so. And we still have no regulation of any kind on AI. I have, unplug it. I have a friend who she was saying that she's like, well, you know, I started seeing a real therapist, but that cost a lot of money. And then I had so much I wanted to talk about.

every week. It just took too long and it was too expensive. So I just started saying all my problems to chat GPT and it was much quicker and cheaper. And now I'm like getting so much help so fast. And I'm like, I don't think you're getting any help. I think you're having a thing just like probably encourage everything that you're saying in a really toxic way. That's like this is the opposite of help actually what you're doing. And it's like really damaging. It's like an echo chamber. Yeah. And it's, I don't. I think it's really scary. Well, this next one is crazy because I was actually thinking about this, and then we got an email. Okay, this is from Stephanie, and the email subject is Sydney-Sweeney Humiliation Ritual. Hey, everyone, I just started watching the podcast,

so I'm watching old episodes, and I just finished the one where you guys were talking about the Illuminati and Humiliation Rituals. Shane mentioned Sidney, and it got me thinking. Okay, so I remember this. So I went back to my old episode, and I found a clip of it. So if you don't remember, the whole theory is that the Illuminati, when they want to bring a celebrity into their world, they put them through a humiliation ritual, which is a public humiliation that they have to survive. And if they do survive, they'll be welcomed into the Illuminati. So for example, a famous one allegedly is when Taylor Swift had her award taken away by Kanye West. That supposedly was a humiliation ritual. There's been other things like that with celebrities. So in that episode, we were talking about it.

And I was like, well, what celebrity right now is kind of the new thing? Like, what should we look out for? And then in that episode, I was like, Sydney Sweeney, I think we need to be in the lookout. I'm looking at Sydney Sweeney. If we start to see humiliating things happening to her, then you guys know it's a ritual. Literally, in the last two months, it's like every time I open up my phone, there's another news story about Sydney Sweeney. So Stephanie goes on. She says, I mean, she was selling her bathwater. She did the American Eagle jeans ad that went wrong.

Now she's being outed for dating Scooter Braun. Scooter Braun. Really? Yeah. But either way, it's like every day there is something in the press made to humiliate her, made to, you know, take her down and just got me thinking, she is the face? Like, she is everywhere?

And is that what's happening? Because it's pretty great. I haven't seen something like this from a celebrity in a long time. She seems to be handling it well. So if she does make it through this, my theory is. She makes it through the relationship with Scooter Bride. That just sounds so harsh. Listen, I didn't say that, I didn't say that.

But what I will say is if she comes out the other side of the, obviously, you know, I hope she does. But what I'm saying is if that happens and then like a year from now, she wins an Oscar and now she becomes like the next A list, whatever. She probably will. She probably will. But that's just interesting. And I wonder, I wonder, I mean, listen, do I actually think this is happening to her? No, probably not. But it is interesting.

We did get a lot of emails about it. And it got me thinking about celebrity humiliation, you know, rituals in general. and I was wondering, do you guys have any that you remember or any that we can look back on and be like, oh, maybe that was their entrance into the Illuminati. Well, I had an interesting one with Kanye because he was supposedly did the one with Taylor Swift, but do you remember his most recent thing with his wife

where he was making her, he basically showed up to red carpet, she was wearing a coat, and he'd pull the coat off her, and she was wearing like a see-through dress, and she was completely naked. Yeah. And constantly being photographed naked in public.

Like, that's like real humiliation. Yeah, like makes my heart race. And then they got a divorce, we haven't heard from her so you know what i mean but it just has that really like rang to me like something about that just felt so off i remember someone maybe jared brought up like john sina being naked at the oscars or something someone brought that up that that seemed possibly like then eddie murphy when he made norbid think about it think about it really think about it oh my gosh that was humiliating okay side note they say

that a lot of the humiliation rituals happen on a stage because they want the most amount of people to see it. So then I start going back in my head and thinking about like award show moments or things that happen that, you know, we're like that. Michael Jackson, remember he was on stage when doing a commercial and his hair caught on fire. And that was like a whole thing. But then after that became even bigger of a star, literally the biggest star in the world. So that's kind of interesting. Then I started thinking about the Will Smith slapping thing. Yeah. That's, yeah. Like, but who in that scenario is humiliated, both of them, really? But that's interesting because Chris Rock, right after that, sold out, like, a huge tour and, like, I think got a Netflix special, but, like, he definitely, like, popped off after that.

Wow. Well, I don't know. Keep your eye out. Keep her eye on Sidney Sweeney. See what other star, Jenna Ortega? Date Scooter Braun. I don't think that's so funny for some reason. Oh, Sabrina Carpenter.

I got my eye on that. She is turning into, like, the next Brittany, like, the big. star, everybody knows her name, everybody knows her vibe, her face, her outfits, her hair, her wig, apparently. Well, that is the theory that she wears wigs, and she even has made jokes about it in interviews and stuff. I feel it. They're getting mad about

her album cover art. Really? She keeps saying, though, I mean, I feel like she's almost fighting it, because she has all these friends, like, I like that it was sexual. Like, she's, like, very, like, open about it. Well, she just keeps saying, like, me and my friends and family got it, and we're not worried about it. But people are very mad at her. What is it? She's on all

knees acting like a dog in front of like a man who's pulling her hair yeah oh well there's also a theory that she is Hillary Clinton i don't quite understand this one but this is right you love her this is going viral yeah they look very similar whoa do they kind of they have a oh they just have the same wigs it is she better be Hillary Clinton for Halloween she knows what's good for her she will be yeah okay so we've talked about different things that stores do to manipulate us while we're shopping to to maybe make us feel a certain way, to make us want to buy a certain item. I mean, grocery stores do it all the time.

Costco, obviously, we've talked about what they're doing with those chickens. Walmart. This one, I thought was a joke and then I googled it. It's real. They're actually doing this. Just watch this video of what Walmart is putting in all of their stores. Not Walmart. You're going hard for Walmart? He loves Walmart.

I crack a fatty every time I walk through those doors. If you shop at Walmart, your experience is about to get get 10 times worse. Basically, they're switching all their lights, their fluorescence, to 10,000 Kelvin. Now, you may not know what that means. 10,000 is the, like, bluest artificial light that we have. It's not natural. It's not in the natural light spectrum.

It's terrible. When we're in 10,000 Kelvin light, it makes us anxious. It, like, literally puts us into fight or flight mode. This is on purpose and intentional because if you can't make rational decisions, then A, you're to be a very fast shopper because you're anxious and your body is like screaming at you to get out of whatever a natural space that is that has the 10,000 Kelvin lights and then two it means you're going to overspend because you're not going to be logically making purchases you're just going to grab things because your heart rate's going to be increased you're not making good

decisions so basically if you didn't like going to Walmart before you're really not going to like it now I mean, I didn't need the lighting to change for me to want to get the fuck out of Walmart. That's a great excuse, though, now when I go home with all those hot wheels, she's like, why did you buy these? It's like, the lighting. The Calvin. The problem in this strategy for Walmart is it's just going to make people not go back at all. If they're always feeling anxious, they're just going to be like, I'm going to go to Target.

Yeah, because they're trying to get everyone to shop online with them. Oh. I mean, but here's the thing. It does work. Like, stores have been caught doing things like this for years. I mean, was it Hollister that we talked about? in a previous video where they had the music bumping. Oh, yeah, yeah. At a certain

at a certain BPM. Yeah, to keep your heart rate going. It's really dark. It adds confusion. It makes you just buy things. I know. But they rebranded and I don't know if their sales went up or down, but it is very interesting. I went to a Walmart recently and couldn't get out of their fast enough to the point where like I

couldn't even buy anything. I didn't want to wait in the line. I needed to be gone. They had crazy music playing in the entryway. It was insane. It was like the super classical take me out to the ball game. But like with like the, what is that thing in a church? No, an organ. They were playing taking out to the ball game.

I was like, what is this fresh hell? It was the most busy place I'd ever been in my life. It was like being in like a fish market in Seattle or something. It was just crazy. Well, and Walmarts in California or in L.A. at least are a special kind of hell. Because when you're in suburbia, it's a little different because there's a lot more of them. They have a bigger building, a bigger parking lot in L.A., they're hell. Okay, this next one is like a funny reel that I saw, and it fucked me up.

I know, this sounds crazy, but I've been thinking about this so much lately. Well, let me just show you the reel, and then we'll explain. Where are we? Okay, you're still on autopilot. Miss Johnson. What's wrong there, buddy? What are we doing here? You're learning.

No confusing. Where did I come from? Why do airplanes fly? Why did the sun always follow me? Okay, kids, time for a nap time. Okay. What? So then I look at the comments, and this is one of the top comments.

My son told me that he remembers waking up at six years old in the middle of a Chucky Cheese party. He said up until that moment, it felt like he was sleeping. And on that day, he woke up. What a profound thing to say at six. This is so crazy. I've been thinking about this so much because you know how they always say, oh, well, your kid's not going to remember anything until they're five. anyways. They're like, don't take your kid to Disneyland. They won't remember it. They won't remember it. They don't remember anything before they were five. But then I started thinking, okay, if that's true,

I don't really remember anything since before I was five. I mean, I have a couple vague memories from when I was like three, but are they real or are they just because I saw pictures? I don't really know. But that is a terrifying thought. Like, what is that moment? When you're five and your brain snaps on and now you start forming memories and like, do you have that moment if I just woke up? That's like the scariest thought in my brain. And yeah, what are you doing up until that point? And why do they make you start school at five to a doctorate you once you're awake? And on top of that, they always say kids can see ghosts or like sense things.

It's called soul gazing. Okay, yes, because kids are tapped into a different consciousness because they're so young and so pure. And supposedly they can see ghosts, they can hear ghosts and all these things. But once they turn five, that goes away because they gain consciousness. And they have a magic. imaginary friends, but that got me thinking, are they gaining consciousness or are they losing it? Do you know what I mean? Like, do they have real consciousness? But then once they're five, like, their brain goes to like a different plane where they lose all of that? Yeah, is it like jumping like from like one plane like, oh, down. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's pretty crazy, right? Like, I don't remember anything. And our kids, are they not going to remember anything? I don't know. Does anyone here remember anything? Outside of pictures. I've heard allegedly there's meditations that you can do that if you get in a deep enough, state you can awaken certain memories from when you're further in but i don't know that i'm interested in i remember being at like preschool yeah i remember preschool yeah well i started thinking about that i was texting you about it and you were just like oh i actually have a theory that kind of piggybacks on that about kids i do i do so evidently there's this thing going around right now where people are videotaping their kids when they're talking to alexa or echo or whatever they have in their house or the Google version of that and it's like terrifying these kids and some of them even go

right to the ground and just try to hide so my thought is maybe the kids or babies are like tapped into a a whole different frequency that we're not aware of and it's some kind of an evil vibe going on with these alexas and Googles and it's just terrifying to them or maybe you're summoning something else beyond just this technology in your house and they are able to sense it where we're not. But please, play the video. What's the wind like tomorrow? Hey, Google. Hey, Google.

What the fuck is going on? Right? What the fuck is going on? Oh my God. Hey, Google. Watch this kid. Why do they all do this? What the fuck is going on? You see, these people need to throw these things in the trash. Yeah. What the what is going on?

Okay Google, turn off the lamp. Okay, Google, turn on the lamp. It's okay, it's okay. I hate this. I hear you. Hey, Google, what time is it? That's a really little one. We're all dropping to the ground.

It's almost like there's something. happening. Like a frequency. Yeah, like a sound or a pitch or like a wave, stereo wave or something. Is bright? Hey, Google. This is making me sick. They know something we don't. I hate it. It also looked like they were all feeling something too. It looked like they were like, they felt like. I mean, they were all dropping and crying. Billy does that when he's scared. Like he'll get really, really quickly run to me and like want to be in a lap of someone who he trusts. Like the only thing it reminded me of almost exactly and I hate comparing kids to dogs

necessarily, but like when you have a dog whistle or they make these machines that have a frequency and the dogs like freak out, it was, it's the same exact thing. It's almost like someone blew a dog whistle and the dog reacted. What? You were hearing that too. What the fuck is that? What was that? That was so weird.

Why do you love it? No, it's weird. I'm glad I'm not crazy and alone. I don't know what that was. Did you hear it? Yeah, I did. I didn't hear it. It was like a frequency.

Was it one of you two doing something? No. No. We haven't moved. What the fuck is going on? And it was right after we were talking about this. That was so creepy. Well, what was it?

I'm going to be sick. I did hear it. I didn't know what it was. It was like a frequency. It was like, ooh. Yes. Why I don't wear headphones. I want out.

I can't do this. What the fuck is going on? Did you see there's a horror movie where they talk about how like elderly people and babies can see ghosts. Yes. Because you're on like opposite ends closer to the. Other side, yeah. I wonder if you do, hey, Google, around an old person, what they'll do. Oh, my God.

Let's go get some old people. Let's see if that's a real. Let's see if it's already existing. Let's go plant some Google homes at a nursing home. Oh, no. Well, speaking of a frequency that only some people can hear. That's a good transition. It's time for a recap.

Oh, you think only some people can hear me? This feels like a compliment. Ryland's recap is about to happen Ryland's recap On the 90s episode of the Shane Dawson podcast Spencer can't meet a magnet Sally. Sally. You bitch. Jared's light is different.

After much controversy on the Shane Dawson podcast, we have heard your complaints and we have complied. Jared now has a green background. I'm so green. Glad he's not washed out with that blood that makes this of his flesh. No, I love it. Isn't that what they were complaining about? They were.

Meat glue. Watch out, you guys, because you think you're getting a nice eight-ounce filet when you're going on date night with your husband or your wife or your significant other. No, no, no, no, no. You're getting two shitty pieces of steak that have been glued together. Allegedly. Aligently. Body cam footage.

Just when you thought it. couldn't get any darker over there at Chucky Cheese. The body cam footage was released for the rat being arrested on duty. It was so dark. He was at Ratt's Day. This is why I don't get to talk.

That was a little cheesy. Orangutans are talking. Jared, I have a special correspondent on the field and he wants to take this one. This just in, guys. Evidently in Indonesia, I just went into the forest and realized that there were people over there talking.

It was orangutans. So swiftly, I gave them jobs doing labor, as they were hoping. Back to you, Ryland. My ear might explode. Oh. What was the segment called the, what did you call it? This just did, and Shane did. Will Shane and Ryland make it to Vegas to see Ashley Simpson and

Wizard of Oz, or will his ear explode on the plane to get there? Because it's been clogged for months, and nobody's done anything about it. We hope he gets better. Yes, we do. Our best wishes to you, Shane. Thank you. Disneyland's using fake birds to spy

on us, and loki, I think it's a good idea. I'd like to implement this at my own house. Can we get some fake birds? No. Why? Kids are scared of Google, of Alexa's and stuff. Throw away your Googles, ladies and gentlemen, kids are afraid

and I'm starting to think that this is torturous. I don't know what Google is admitting, but it's a frequency that is wrong. Fuck you, Google. Except for the YouTube portion of the No, not YouTube. We love YouTube. We love Google.

You know, some would say we bow at the altar of Google. Honestly, it's just Alexa. That's what they're doing. It's Amazon. It's Alexa. It's Amazon's Alexa. This just in, babies worship at the altar of Google. Nobody's afraid. We're all here to praise our high god Google.

And we're going to go back in time and re-edit this episode to make every one of those clips just say, Hey, Alexa. Even though they were all Google. Shut up, Spencer. Sorry, Sally. You love Google. I love you, Google.
