It still exists, but it's abandoned. It's one of the most haunted and documented locations in America. Not just theme parks, like locations. Like, let me explain why. In the 1980s, once they were excavating the property, they found 13 skeletons. Whoa. And they confirmed that the theme park was built on a...

That's number one rule. Don't do that. Hey guys, welcome back to whatever the hell this is, Nightmare Fuel Edition. So everybody looks crazy. You might notice that we all look a little bit different today. Let's start with Jared. Jared. Yo.

How are you feeling? Supposedly, this is going to be one of the best podcasts y'all ever seen. Something looks different about your beer today. What is it? Oh, Sandy has me on this new homey old. Aeropathic oil. Oh. It is.

Nice. You are glowing. Fantastic. Okay. Ryland. Hey, just a second. I have to do after sip content. Hey, girlies.

This is giving. Yes, of course. For the chuggers. I literally told you on the way over here, don't do this while we're filming. Oh, please. Oh, my God. He always does this. Great guys.

Filming the podcast. Oh, my God. I'm going to edit your thumbnail later. Anyways, Chris, can I... This is so crazy. I love your shirt. I love the ducks. They're so cute. Chrisy.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I don't know. I didn't think it was going to fit, but it fits. How have you been? How was your weekend? I heard that you got fisted by bears at Club Chubb. Is that true? Uh, yeah.

Don't tell my boyfriend. Hans Spencer. I like your shirt today. Hey, I'm a hungry boy. Wait, Hansen Spencer Doc? Really good today, Ryland. Yeah, I know. You're dressing for Taylor Swift's launch day.

So, can I just say? You just said. All of the sudden, I am so disappointed in her new album. It was supposed to be banger after banger after banger. It wasn't. But you're a Swifty. Oh, my God. Well, I still love her.

Don't get me wrong. It's just I expected something I didn't get. Did Shane get you some more rings? Uh, yeah. They're not exactly as big as I wanted, but, you know, they'll do for. for now. You know, you were the one that convinced me that Taylor Swift was going to perform at the Super Bowl, and it's not, it's bad bunny. You have people. Oh, la.

Yeah, Chris. I love too much. Do you like Bad Bunny? Oh my God, I love that bunny. I love going to music shows in general. I was actually just went to one and it was terrible. But why was it terrible? What happened? We all saw the video, Chris.

Wait, which video? Of you crowd surfing? Oh, God. Yeah. Getting sick. Spencer, have you, you wouldn't crowd surf, would you? Um. I really should have practiced my school.

Oh, you know Spencer crowd surfs. You know he's crowd surfs. Well, you know, I'm out there looking for... You okay, bro? Pussy? I don't... You don't say that. Can I be me for a second?

Yeah, yeah. Hey guys, welcome back. Okay, first of all, Chris, that was... Oh, my God, I do that. Yeah, that was really good. I literally do this. Was it okay? I was so nervous.

It's a little bit of a wake-up call. Jared's been walking around the office, offending me. being so accurate to who I am. I'm like, wow. Hey, mamas. Oh my gosh, Pizookis. Yeah.

I literally feel like I died and I'm floating and I'm like watching our lives from an outside perspective. I'm learning so much about myself, about you guys, about what you think of each other. Yeah, right. This is like family therapy gone too far. Okay, no.

So it is our Halloween episode, guys. This is very excited. Sorry, I'm still Spencer. Can you say this is our Halloween episode. Hey guys, this is our Halloween episode. Hey, guys, this is our Halloween episode. Do we have the same boy? That was pretty good. Wait, it was. Yeah. Thank you. Um, okay, so I was like, what do we do? What costumes do we wear? We've done so many Halloween episodes. We did one where Jared was a minion, which was Spencer's, um, introduction to our world. That was the first one before I

started working for you guys. I was like, let me just check out the channel and like see what that stuff. And then I look at it. Jared's like, all yellow minion just like, just like, just I was like, what is this going to be? I love that that's where you started. You're like, I'm going to work for Shane. Let me start. I'm so happy you started there. Yeah, yeah, right, right, right.

Okay, yeah. So I was like, what are we going to do that we haven't already done? And the luboos are already over party. In stock, in store again. So I'm like, we can't be laboos, although that would have been cute. Then I was like body swapping. Let's all swap bodies and just let it happen. And we're not just swapping bodies, guys.

We are going to swap roles on this podcast. Later, Ryland's recap. Looking forward to it. Hey, everybody. We have Spencer's likes. I really need to work on it. We have, I heard Chris pretty soon is going to have a big old gay story. Oh, my God.

I had the biggest disappointment of my life. We'll get into it. Obviously, Jared's going to bring a cheap trick. Oh, do I have a cheap trick to save you a couple of dine? And then obviously, Shane. is going to have us play a special spooky game. Which, of course, I have planned. Which he has no idea what I'm talking about.

Can I just say, and I don't know if this is conceded or not, but you look good. Right? He, oddly enough, is the only one in a wig here that still looks like a man. Excuse me. We look like she's the man. We're like, we're undercover, like, okay, we're trying to trick the boys. Yeah, Jared said I sound like, I look like undercover boss, which I agree with.

Menchies in specifically. Oh my God, yes. Okay, wow. So where do we even go from here? Oh, sorry, I stole the shut. Wait. Ryland, would you give her my or one? Oh, well, because it's so fucking hot in here.

We can't turn the AC on. Did you get... It's like, come on. Nobody cares, Shane. Okay, just turn the air on. I'm literally dying right now. I'm the only one who has a jacket on and it's 100 degrees in here. Oh, please.

And the worst part is I order my diet, Coke from McDonald's and I don't think it's diet. Guys, my diet coke addicted husband over here. Wait, wait, wait, Shane, wait. Um, yes. I think Chris has a story he was telling me before when we were setting up the show

about some gay shit. You have a gay story? Okay, should we get into it? Of course he does. Let's get into it. Period. Go ahead. So I basically had, okay, so basically I had the biggest disappointment of my life. I see this headline. The 11th annual Fat Bear Week begins this week. What?

But obviously, I was not a bunch of big fat boys. It's actual fat bears. It is cute. It is cute. Oh my God, it's so cute. It's cute. I'm sorry, you must have been so disappointed. I really was.

I was hoping their big fat bears. People are obsessed with a group of incredibly rotund bears in Alaska, and there's even a competition going to be. competition going on to determine which one is the champion of fatness. Oh, I wish it was guys. And it's all about applauding the bears for achieving peak roundness before hibernation. Prong bears only have about six months to eat enough food to survive an entire Alaskan winter. So the more they resemble fluffy bowling balls at this point in the year, the better.

The particular bears in question, close your eyes and think about the eyes. And this year's salmon run was a special. They live the life, though, salmon all day. That's delicious. Maybe we could start some, like, new terminology in the bear community. Like, you can be a salmon, and the bears are coming after you. What do you think? I love it.

We're starting something new. Think about it. Evidently, these salmons are really good. Wait, oh, actually, one more thing. I was looking for a list. Ask Chris. Okay, I was doing it. So I was looking at a list.

Obviously, I was on bearworld.com. I was looking for lists of celebrity bears and I found this hilarious comment and Gaz said wouldn't mind any hairy bear dropping down my chimney come Christmas morning and have early morning hot sex

and then get him to unwrap my presies L.O.L. Of course you would. Period. Good story, Chris. Well, speaking of offensive, guys, are you ready for another one of my likes? Let's see it. Let's get to my likes. Spencer's likes. This is kind of a vibe.

Right. I like it. That was very tame. Of all the things that you normally like, that was the least terrifying thing I think you played on our show. Yeah, that really was. Oh, wow.

In the last episode, YouTube made me get rid of three of them. Is this the Chili's in Encino? I don't know. I don't think my Jared voice is working either. I only practiced. By the way, Chili's, reach out. I am dying to work with you. You know you're already followed by Chili's.

You just have to. I know. I've DMed you several times, Chili's. I'm waiting on a response. All right, let's get to the next. Spencer's likes. Right, as you can see here, I just got out of Chili's. Oh, my God.

Why is he me as Jared? Triple Dipper, man. It's unbelievable. You guys got to try it if you haven't. Why is he neat? Spencer. I love it. What the hell is this?

Is that our Chili's? Are we going to run into him with it? Do they sell monsters at Chili's? Why is it we're asking me? I don't know. It's like, I go with Ryland to get chilies and like, he feeds me. Do you like when Ryland feed you? Oh my God, I love it.

I starved myself for a week before. See, Ryland is a feeder. I don't know. Shane feeds me a lot. That's my love language, Susie Kate. I will say, Shane, you do get me dinner every night. Thank you. I will say that you do.

You always ask if I want food. Yes, always. Wait, can I just say something out? For your Halloween episode on the sip, can you just have Jared to you? It's really funny. Shane and Jared are really good. You guys are really nailing. The way Jared was walking around the office,

I'm not kidding. I was like, oh wow, he could actually be my standard. He's like, mamas! Okay, girlies, back to the likes. Okay, yeah, yeah. I think I'm gonna like this one. Hi there, it is tequila and bubble wrap day at Walmart. Always having fun. Tequila and bubble wrap day at Walmart.

So when you come across these videos, can you explain to me what's going through your head? that this is what they just probably bring you joy yeah um yeah you know who you are she looked to me like she was just living her best life period she's loving it i love her period oh spencer's likes he should have been on farmers got talent that was actually very impressive i'm amazed can i say it's okay it's so hard to know what youtube's going to make me take out last time they made me take out a guy who is eating socks i know that was such a good one too he was moaning and the weird thing is they told me because it was fetish and i'm like but he didn't say he

was you should create a playlist spencer of uh the ones that were too bad for youtube that's a good idea That's a really good idea for Patriot. The other one was this woman who like sat on a balloon and went, ah. So I don't know. This one's pushing it. I think is this the same? There might be some more pushing it later.

Is this the same guy that eats apples really fast? No, he does. I like that guy though. He juggles while he eats apples. Yeah. Yeah, that guy's impressive. Very impressive. Next like.

Oh. Spencer. Oh my God. Oh my God. It's kind of hypnotizing, though. Okay, you can no longer convince me Spencer doesn't like weeners. Spenter. Okay, hold on, hold me explain.

Please explain. I mean, there's not much to explain. It was just sort of an interesting video. And these just come on your explore pitch. Okay. This one, oh, do you guys know this girl? Katie Perry? No, she makes drinks.

It's a light finish. That way it's a light finish. All right. One more, one more. Is this the finale? Yeah, unfortunately, I thought I had more, but I guess that I don't. This is the finale. It's the weekend.

The sun is shining. So let's make a drink because it would be rude not too. So we're starting a you, juicy peach vodka. Is this a gold labobo lady? It is? I don't think so. Absolutely gorgeous. We're going to mix it wet, peach.

Is she going to pee in it? No, this one's tame. She just cracks me up. Is this the most normal thing you've liked? I know, I know. Maybe you should date her. We're going to top up wet. We'll have to get the vitamin C.

And let go away. I wouldn't mind subtitles. Just about did there, and we're going to... Honestly, that drink looks good, and it looks like something I had in Vegas. I don't remember, though, I blacked out. Wow. Honestly, that's gross. That was a tame, normal, and maybe she's single.

Spencer, did you just like that one because it was long? I'm a little disappointed. Sorry, that was a bummer of a likes. No, I liked it. Well, I like the way she drinks the drinks. Well, guys, I heard that Shane has to go pee. So... I do.

Thank you for saying something. Where did you hear that? Spencer, where did you hear that? I don't know. I just know. I have to pee, so let's take a quick break, but when we come back, we have something from Jared. Yes, I have a cheap trick that's going to change your whole existence. And we have a game, so stay tuned. We'll be back. I don't know. I don't know what to say. Okay, I really grew up to peeve. Wow, it really is fall, y'all.

So Spencer and I came up with this game that's inside of this really cute head of a Lego man that I got at TJ Max before the conspiracy. We tested it for lead, no lead me here. And the game is called Ah! Or, yas! And so in here I have a bunch of different topics and I haven't decided when I read these, are we all reacting at the same time? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, let me see.

So me and Shane came up with this idea. Basically, we got the bucket, we got the things. Shane's going to read him out. And then, yeah, we're all going to go, ah! Or we're going to go, yes. Why wouldn't it be boo? Like, boo? Okay, that might be a little bit.

Talk to Shane about it. All right. Are we ready? Yeah. First one is pooping at a friend's house. Boo. Boo! Oh!

Okay, I don't even know if I've ever actually know. Remember, did we already talk about this on the podcast? I'm sorry, Jared. Is we going to talk about this on the podcast? Okay. Okay, we were at your friend's sleepover. I was probably like eight or something, so you were like 12, 13. And then in the morning, I got blamed for pooping on the floor.

Yeah, and you were never allowed back at that house again. Never! That was not me. I did not do it, but I became known. I don't know, but I'd pee on the floor, but I'd never poop on the floor. Oh, oh. On accident. Like you missed the toilet.

You were going, aiming for the toilet? No, I didn't poop on the floor. But it turned me into the neighborhood, like the poop. Okay. Where was he? It was you? My friend literally told me that my little brother isn't allowed over anymore because his dad found poop on the floor. And found it very disrespectful.

I cannot poop at a friend's house. Does anybody here do that? It depends on how I have to. If I have to. It depends on how far away the bathroom is from the living quarters. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There are some friends house where, like, we've known each other since childhood and, like, maybe there.

But it's, yeah, I hate it. The person who poops first is the hero, though, because more than likely, more than one person has to poop. And the second one person poops, everybody feels open to doing it. Good job, Ryland. So poop. Just do it. And I love my clients. Tweet it.

So the next one is ketchup on macaroni and cheese. Oh! Yes. Wait, I feel like I'm answering a shame. I mean, yes, too. Wait, is awe bad and yes is good? Yes. Yes.

Yes. Wait, Jared, do you like that? I don't think you do. I do. Okay, I think we can answer as ourselves. Okay, okay. But if you feel, if you want to stay in character, you do you. Right, right, right.

Just because you can't execute on Spencer doesn't mean we can't. Oh. Okay, so if I'm answering this on our-ish, honestly as me, uh, I would not. Ew, never kept up on macaroni and cheese. You guys just haven't tried it. You guys are haters because you haven't tried it. No, it's something your whole family does and it, and I love your family, but it's sickenes me. We went somewhere, I think it was universal. And you had a dog. And everybody had

macaroni and cheese. And I don't know why. Why were we all doing that? And they're like, oh, can we get the ketchup? And I was like, stop. And they all together. No. It was horrified. Oh, yeah. It was embarrassing. Ketchup on scrambled eggs. Yep. I fucked me up. Yep. That's fine. But the scrambled egg makes the ketchup watery. Yeah, I think it's gross. Yeah. Okay. What didn't you guys? And Jared, you love ketchup. I do. But to put it on macaroni and she's disrespected. Have you done it, though? No.

Okay, so... I would never do that. Ew. Okay, but... Okay, the next one is being slapped during sex with consent. Yes.

Yes! Yes! Oh, wait, is this me or Spencer? I would definitely say yes. Wait, who's a yes to being slapped? I'm yes to anything with consent. Not anything. That's a bold statement.

Most things with consent. I'm willing to try something, you know? And, like, there's fun ways to do. most things. I mean, but I don't want to, I don't know, it depends on a lot of things. Somebody asked to slap me one time and I said, I guess, okay, and they slapped me and then I lost my hearing. And then they thought I was going to like sue them or something. Oh, you're so old. This was like 10 years ago. Wait, you said yes. Jared, you said yes. Yes. Oh, wait, did Jared say yes or did Ryland say yes? Yeah, Jared and Ryland said yes. Oh, then I should be

slapping more. Sandy is hitting. Oh, Sandy. Did you know this right? Well, yeah, she's on diet right now so she really takes it out on me all right next one having someone serenade you with the song so embarrassing i don't know i hate it i'm somewhere in the middle i hate it if it's a concert that's fine if it's a one-on-one and they're like oh i wrote this song and then oh yeah and you have you have to look at their eyes i mean even i hate when when people sing happy birthday like even that everybody hates it yeah and we're looking at the floor somebody busts out a guitar at a party or something like that's how you know it's getting bad all right next one peeing while on the phone i know a lot of people that do this

yes yes i go to the i never hit the water straight for me ah but a lot of people in my life do it to me why you can hear it no if i'm peeing on the phone you're not going to know i'm peeing on the Yes, you fucking are, because you do it to me. With you, you're different. Right. I always have to pee. Anytime I'm on a Zoom call, in therapy, anything on my computer, I always have to pee. And then I play that game with myself where I'm like, okay, do I mute?

And then do I turn my camera off and mute and go pee? But then what if I ask me a question? Yep. And then I'm like, oh, fuck. And that has happened. I do not do it. And I'm also scared now with iPhones that like the camera's going to accidentally turn on or something's accidentally happen.

Oh, yeah, it's going to, yeah. And now you're filming me pee, that's life over. No. But yeah, why does everyone in my life pee on the phone with me? That's not a regular thing. No. Comfort, maybe they're comfortable with you? Maybe.

Are you pro or against? I don't pee. I don't really talk on the phone very much at all unless it's sandy pretty much. Okay. But if I have to pee, I'm just letting him go. Ah, I see. Guys is going to be a louder, will come from higher up. You know, it's going to be a louder.

And I have two streams. Yes, we know it's all over the wall and the floor. I feel passionately about this next one. I put it on threads and I had so many people upset with me more than anything I've ever said, Chris. Pineapple on pizza. Yes! Whatever. Everyone here pretty much is yes?

I love it. I'll eat it, but it's like it might not be my first choice. What is the argument against it? What is the legitimate argue against it? Those two things don't go to get me, blah. Yeah, I put it on threads and people are like, this is sacrilegious. It's unacceptable. It's disgusting.

It doesn't belong on there. It doesn't make sense on a pizza. Like, all this stuff. And I'm like, what do you talk about? That's ketchup on macaroni and cheese. I think it's deli-idious. To me, it's like, I love a salty sweet mixture. And that's what it is.

You got some sweet. You got some salty pizza. The pepperoni's and whatever. And it's like, oh, it's fantastic. I don't like pineapple on pizza, but I'm not one of those people. Like, those people who are like, no, no. Like, that's so annoying. It's like, who cares?

It's just the thing. Like, people put worse stuff on pizza. Yeah, I thought someone was going to come from me. They were so upset. Yeah, it's stupid. Guys, this is my new life now. I am now a concert person. I know you didn't expect that from me, someone who leaves their house once a month.

But I recently went to a concert. I had so much fun. I was singing. I was dancing. That's a lie. I was not singing because I was too insecure and I definitely was not dancing.

It was cool for like an hour, but then everybody is so in character while you're there. And then it's crazy because there's some people

that look like they are actually from that time period. Yeah. And it's very cool. Did they call you time traveler? No. They did that to me. Every time I'd dressed by someone that was really into it, they were like, ooh, we have time travelers.

That's so annoying. Cringe. I can't do. Here's the thing. And I'm nervous. I was nervous to scream. Ah, because I don't want to offend anybody. And I know a lot of you guys love it.

Here's the thing. I like the idea of it. I like the food. I like the costumes and the outfits. What I don't like is, yes, I don't enjoy people in real life play acting. Like, because you're just like walking by and there'll be like a couple acting. Yeah. For no one.

Nobody's watching. And they'll just be like, honey, did you grab the horse in the swim? And then I'm walking by and I'm like, I hate this. It's like when the person is singing in your face, I can't do it. But I love a pickle. You know, I'll say I can't hate on something I've never tried. So maybe it's great and I'm just missing out. You know what I will say, though?

The one time I went to the Renfair, what I did enjoy was the king. Oh, you've been. The king's coming. The king's coming. And I was like, all right, let me see this. So, I mean, I was like, you know what? I like this moment because we're like, he's living as a king. And he was really going into it.

He was yelling at people. He was just like, get out of my quarters. and everyone is afraid of him and all the women are like, oh, like with their titty's like right, oh! And like loving it and I was like, I like this for him. The Red Fair is shockingly sexual.

Has been my experience. It's very sexual. What else was there to do back then? I don't know, but like I ended up not that the second to last time I went, there was this woman who was selling like wooden handmade like flutes and one of them was shaped like a dick and she put them between her giant tiggo bitties

and I blew on the flute. It was a whole thing. And, like, it was fun. Wow. Just way more sexual than I would have thought, you know? Anyways, next one. Watching all the Harry Potter movies in a row. Yes.

I mean, I would like to experience that. What? Did you say yes? I would like to experience that. I'm always asking Shane, like, let's start a series. You can't even get through a movie. You think you can get through a Harry Potter movie? There's eight of them.

Sandy tries to watch them all at least once a year. you guys could have fun with that and Twilight Twilight I actually can handle better than Harry Potter because it's shorter If I had to Or you have a thing for Bella

There's little action moments that are somewhat exciting in Twilight And it's funny to watch Because the acting is just like so bad And which team are you? Yeah which team are you I like the underdog Oh which one's the

Team Jacob You know what I'm saying Is that Taylor Lutter? Edward feels entitled to me Like he just deserves it Where Jacob is really trying hard And he's always there for everybody Jacob till the end got everybody's back Wait, I didn't know

Did I, I didn't hear a yay or a neighbor I like that I don't know if I don't want to watch All of them back to back But I like Harry Potter Speaking of like people acting like that There's a thing in LA at like a There's a place of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery And they in the summer they show outdoor movies

And you go do this a picnic, it's really fun We went everyone like dressed up And there people were some people there were trying So like there's like the death eaters are the evil guys and there was a guy dressed like that going around like yeah yeah so people like eating like drinking a glass of wine on the grass like they were like okay like thank you but it was it was all that and there are so many people it's like this is my time to dress up like I'm a muggle oh blah blah they were doing all of that it was just like okay okay everyone in hollywood's an actor

i have a similar sentiment to how you felt when the king was getting his moment right like if harry potter is your life and you can't yeah that's true that every single day it's like when I go to a Hot Wheels trade night, you know? Yeah. Everybody there's in the Hot Wheels. We're all nerds. We can all say the code words and we all know what we're saying. It's very exciting.

So, you know, shout out to those people. I think, that's same with the Red Faire. It's like, if you like it, like it. Listen, I want Harry Potter fans to live their lives and I want them to have so much fun. I just can't do it. Yeah. I've tried so many times to watch those movies and I don't know what it is about fantasy movies. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter.

I just can't do it. My brain won't do it. Unless somebody's getting stabbed and gutted, I don't care. Unfortunately. Okay. Next one. Responding to a text from an X. Ah!

Yay! Yay! I don't know. I don't get it in any bucks. That is not true. Yes, you are. I got a text from an X three years ago, and Ryan won't shut. I think it was like, congrats on your babies.

It was so nice. See, I think the problem with me is. Both my exes, like, cheated on me and, like, lied to me and were awful, so, like, they're blocked and not, you know what I mean? I've never had a healthy breakup, unfortunately, so I don't have an ex I can just chat with. I don't know what that's like. I don't know. I'm sorry. I'll text you and pretend to be your ex.

Thank you. Wait. Uh, Jared? Nah. Nah. Nah. I mean, I've been with Sandy for so long. I mean, I've never even received a text, so I don't know.

Nah. I think if I was in a relationship, it would be more than, but it. Right now, it's like, sure, whatever. Okay, that makes sense. All right, should we do, or admit, one final one, maybe? Oh, one final one. Should I pick one? Um, getting asked, what you got going on today at Dutch Bros.

Ah! Ah! Oh, my God. I can't think of anything worse. I think I'm psychotic because it's kind of a yeah for me. My worst is, what's your favorite animal? Yeah, man, they would do that all, and I'm like, do you care? And I'm not doing it.

doing this with you. You know what I will say, though? And I might have already talked about this. Shout out to that last Dutch Bros. We went to because they were all really great. And I think it's because they weren't asking questions. They were just vibing. Yeah.

That's what I want. That's what I want. Yeah. Fill it out. All right, Shane, I guess is that the end of the game? Yeah. Yes, that's the end of it. I forget what's next.

But that was fun. Did you guys like, I had fun. I hope everyone else had fun. That was fun for me. I do have a cheap chick trick prepared. Right. Okay, Jared, tell us about your cheap trick. He's got a pocket of change.

He makes a lot of sense when the price goes up. He'll get it for less. It's cheap tricks with Jared. Now, I know a lot of you love when I talk about 7-Eleven. That's not what we're doing today. I'm dropping Ulta. You know what Alta is, Jared? Very gay of you, Jared.

Yes. I got my new cream that has worked out this fantastic. beard at Ulta. Your beard is looking fantastic. Your eyebrows are really looking fantastic. Thank you. Yes. So what you do, you go to Ulta. Sandy and I have been on this recently. Ulta's expensive and you know there's all these girls on TikTok. They're like spending all their parents money on skincare. And so the cheap trick is you buy it, you go and squirt out all the product in your own container at home, fill it with cheap ass product from Walmart, return it. You got a hundred dollar product.

Oh, my God. For $10. That's illegal. And that's what Sandy and I are doing. No. Not, is it? Okay. Allegedly he's not really for the protection of this podcast.

He didn't mean it. Where did you hear? I cannot see Sandy doing that. No, no, no, no. That was a viewer submission. Was it? Do you want to shout out of the viewer or no? She wants to stay anonymous.

Oh, okay. That's probably a good idea. So someone's going to Ulta and buying cheap Walmart cream, spending a billion dollars, not knowing it? I made up the Walmart. But cheap, yeah. But cheap cream, not knowing they're getting something different than they think they're getting. Yes, because then the employees put it back on the shelf as the expensive branding.

That sounds alleged. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah, people have messaged me a lot about rent a car that is the same car as yours, and then have the tires put onto your car from the rental car. And then you basically just get new tires for like 30 bucks. Wow, so this is becoming not cheap tricks. Scamming.

Yes, please. Stop messaging me criminal acts. I get it. Stealing makes things cheap. I get it. That's not a cheap trick. That's a scam. And we love your scams.

Shane, I heard that you have to pee really bad again. Right. I have to pee. So that was fun. We're going to take a break. And when we come back... Conspiracy. I was just starting to have fun.

So today I know I say this every episode, but this time I mean it. The conspiracies today are some of the craziest I've ever heard.

They're going to blow your mind. Spencer, take it away. It blew Chris's mustache. Yeah, sorry, guys, my mustache, I had to shave during the break. I feel like it's a good look for me. And also, it's not going to make me want to scratch it my face off. I think of, okay, sorry, am I Spencer? Okay, I'm Shane again.

Yeah. Just for a minute because I do have some crazy theories, but I also want to do kind of a deep dive about something that I have fallen down a rabbit hole about. And that is haunted theme parks, which obviously you guys know, theme parks are one of my favorite things in the whole world. I love theme parks. I love roller coasters.

But lately, I mean, not to put them on blast again, but ever since all the mishaps at Cedar Point. Yeah. Which, by the way, Cedar Point, shout out. We still want to come to you. My goal is early next year. We take a podcast road trip. Road trip.

No, that's Ohio. Okay, we'll fly. But, yeah, I really do want to go there and explore, especially now because I found out that there might be a reason why things are going wrong there. Maybe it's because Cedar Point is one of the most haunted locations in America. What? Okay. I don't even know where to start. Okay, let me start here.

Okay, so the park has been open. for over 150 years and ever since it opened there's been accidents there's been multiple fires there has been sadly some occasional ride deaths but because of all of that supposedly it is one of the most haunted places in america and a lot of ghost hunters paranormal investigators they go there and they try to sneak in at night they get a lot of recordings they bring like the thermostat guns they censor a lot of things so there is a hotel on site called hotel breakers and that opened in 1905. That's crazy. It's that old. It's that old. I didn't know it was that old. I know. So that hotel specifically is one of the most haunted hotels in America. Guests and the staff

that work there said they have seen apparitions, strange noises, doors opening and closing. There are certain rooms that are more haunted than others. And this is kind of sad. So there's a very famous ghost there that a lot of people have seen. It's like not a joke, like employees work in there and talk about it. And it's the woman in white. And they see her walking around the halls in this like white dress and supposedly she ended her life on her wedding night in one of the rooms there but supposedly you can see her walking around crying in this white dress in the halls ew it gives me chills so scary do we have to stay there when we go yes this is scary ew i didn't think about that yes we literally probably do um okay so but it

wasn't just her there have been over the multiple decades there have been a lot of accidents accidental deaths from hotel staff at this hotel and also at the park. Also, employees that are housed in the dorms over the years, there have been multiple deaths from doing maintenance on the building or even just deaths living in the employee housing, which is crazy. And supposedly seasonal workers talk about it all the time where they hear things, they see things in like the employee dorms, which I didn't know that an amusement park had that. Yeah, that's rough.

right? I didn't know that that was a thing but yeah I guess some people live on the site well I guess because they're probably only open during the summer right so it's like you're not going to live there year round I guess I guess yeah also they have a ballroom that was opened in the early 1900s as a dance hall

and supposedly that is insanely haunted you hear music you see ghost dancing and I know that sounds kind of like corny or whatever but when we went to the Stanley Hotel and we went to that fucking ballroom that was the most uncomfortable i've ever been in a space like that specific ballroom was fucked like it felt like an instant pit in my stomach so that is very scary also at this park this is crazy there have been

areas of this park that have burned down multiple times the same area since the 1800s yes like the multiple things have burned down at cedar point over and over again which is crazy but not only that There have been so many accidents. And listen, every theme park has accidents, so it's not just like a Cedar Point thing. But some of them are very interesting because, okay, in 1977, there was a roller coaster called the Wildcat. Two trains collided, and a 17-year-old girl, sadly, was killed. And then multiple others had injuries.

And then in 1992, there's a ride called Demon Drop, which is fucking insane. Why would you curse your ride? And a maintenance worker was killed working off. the ride which is so sad but this is where it gets crazy there is a roller coaster that is supposedly one of the most haunted roller coasters in the world and it's called the raptor roller coaster and there have been multiple deaths on this same coaster since it was opened in 2004 a man entered a restricted area under the ride and was struck by the coaster then in 2015 in literally an identical way a different man climbed over the security fence and was fatally hit

by the roller coaster in the same way so i looked it up because i was like wow is this roller coaster still around because like i looked it up and and right now it's currently down and nobody knows when it's going to reopen which i'm like that's kind of weird so i don't know whenever that does open though we're going to oh oh i know i don't know the more i read about this theme park like i know it kind of started as a joke because it was like oh their rides keep breaking but like the more i read about it i'm like this is we got to go well that's what's driving you there I don't know. I'm good. I'll go to Lagoon. I'll see you in Utah, honey. Okay. So then that led me down at a different rabbit hole. I found an almost even more haunted location.

So this theme park's not around anymore. It still exists, but it's abandoned. It's called Lake Shawnee Amusement Park. Okay, so it's in West Virginia. It's one of the most haunted and documented locations in America. Not just theme parks, like locations. Like more haunted than Stanley. It's more haunted than a lot of places. Let me explain why. So not that long after it opened, it was shut down because it had so many accidents and so many people were dying and they didn't know why. So it was shut down, which is crazy that like they were like, why does this keep happening? We just need to shut this down. So let me tell you how it was born.

So in 1920, there was an entrepreneur named Conley Snido and he built an amusement park on Lake Shawnee. The park had a swimming lake. It had carnival rides. It had a dance hall and it had concessions dance. Families loved it. Everybody was going there until the accident started happening. So in the 1950s, on one of the swing rides, a young girl in a pink dress died when a truck backed into the ride as it was swinging, which is insane. So a lot of people see the ghost of a little girl in a pink dress running around at night.

There have been multiple drownings at the lake over the years. And in 1966, the park was closed due to all of these accidents happening and because people were so afraid to go there because of all the deaths and accidents that obviously the money went down. People stopped coming. So they shut the park down. So let me explain a little bit more about the like haunted areas before I get to the reason it's haunted because there is a reason. So there's a Ferris wheel which supposedly has the most ghost activity. Like if you go there after hours at night, that is where you will see things. A lot of locals living there say that they see the apparitions of children running and screaming, especially the girl in the pink dress.

There's cold spots in certain areas, especially near the Ferris wheel. There have been so many paranormal investigators that have gone there and documented the journey. Like, there's so many shows on TV that have gone there. But in the 1980s, the land owner that bought the land and was like trying to figure out what to do with it, once they were excavating the property, they found Native American artifacts. and 13 skeletons of children. Whoa. And they confirmed that the theme park was built on a Native American burial site.

That's number one rule. Don't do that. I was wondering by the name. I was like, is that? Yes. Like somehow. Oh, yeah. So not only was it a Native American burial site,

but there also was a violent attack that happened at that same location in the late 1700s, a settler named Mitchell Clay, established a home there. Then a conflict happened with a local Shawnee tribe. Two of Clay's children were killed by the Shawnee tribe. Clay retaliated, killed several members of the Shawnee tribe, and because of that, the land was called cursed. Then they looked into it.

So the burial site actually started even before that. So it was a burial site. Then there was another attack, and then it turned into a theme park. So there's just stacking curses on this. Wow. Isn't that crazy? So it's still around Why you've got to ask your realtors

What happened in your house? That's a thing though They don't know Like they'll know if somebody's died In your property But only a certain amount of years back Like after a certain amount of years They don't have to tell you

Yeah they only have to tell you If it was a violent death Right The last five years So are you still in realtor school Yeah But natural causes Could mean like a plethora of things

Like if somebody fell down the stairs That would just be natural causes but if somebody is killed, they have to tell you. Okay, so, yes, it is still around. I mean, it's abandoned, but it is owned by the White family. They have preserved the ruins of the amusement park, and they turned it into a dark carnival that you can take tours in around Halloween. So you go walk around the Ferris wheel, the swing.

You can go around and look at the burial site. Exactly the kind of sites that I want to see. How fucking scary this place looks. Imagine this anywhere. I feel like cedar point's a little safer we got a hotel this is like next fucking level yeah so I don't know so that was my little rabbit hole about haunted the grass is well maintained yeah good answer good guys for the grass fantastic Spencer thank you so much um let us know though should we go to cedar point no or have you if anyone's been to shawnee the shoney either of these places like have you been to cedar point or lake shawnee and have you been to cedar point or lake shawnee and have you you seen anything? Let us know in the comments. Give us your... But if you went to Cedar Point and just had a fun time, we don't need, we don't need to hear

about that. Like, you know, if he's like, what's going to be some part? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Leave your review. Yeah. Okay. Conspiracy Corny. Here we go. This is an email that I got from Kevin. His, uh, app name is at name. How old am I? His username, I guess, is a lost Kevin. I'll put it right here. He said, hey, what's up couch guys and cuck Chris? Damn.

What? New nickname. It is kind of feel like I'm in the cuck chair today. Yeah. You're watching as well. It's very like, I can really see everything. Is it empowering? Yeah, no.

He said, my name is Kevin Barman, also known as Lost Kevin, which is my producer name. I'm 16 years old, and I'm all the way from Sweden. Shut up. I've been watching Shane since I was nine. And I still watch him every day. To show my appreciation, I put together a cinematic remake of his conspiracy theory intro. I hope you all enjoy it. Okay, so I've already heard this and I was like, I got to play this on the show.

It is so good. Let me just play a part of it. It really builds. Brad can't hear it. Oh, no, I was waiting for it to start. It's so good. Oh, it like Shawnee. That's the Cedar Point.

Wow, it's cool. like my gosh what was that it's epic are you kidding me wow oh my god produce my next album that was incredible thank you so much i'm literally going to use that in the next conspiracy video it's so good thank you so much um all right let's get you some conspiracy updates i'm really playing around with fire with this one oh no um okay obviously we posted the video about discount store even though it's in the thumbnail I know but I'm just scared

I don't know why I'm so scared of calling out this company but yes we got a lot of email a lot of emails for people trying to experiment talking about things they found at this discount store and guys what the fuck is I okay it's been about a couple weeks

since the video went out I've not heard anything I hope they're changing things so all of these are in the past maybe things are different now but guys We're getting, I mean, this is from Gabby. We're getting obviously worn and used shoes. It's crazy. It's going to mote the lawn in those.

This is from Sage. We're getting a hairbrush with a bunch of hair in it. What are we doing? What are we doing? So then we got a bunch of emails from people being like, Shane, you missed the craziest thing that you could get from the bed sheets. Because in the video, obviously, we bought bed sheets. We fucked with them and returned them.

And I was like, oh gosh, you could get this. You could get that. And then all the comments were saying bedbugs. And I was like, oh, I didn't even think about bedbugs. Yeah, that's literally the worst thing you could get. And you could get that. If somebody buys the blankets, the sheets, has bedbugs, returns it. Oh, my God.

Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. But that's like, yeah, so I didn't even think about that. That led into this next email, which, oh, my God. Okay. So this is from Madison. And her subject is not washing comforters. And I was like, okay, I'm already triggered. Hey Shane, so back in 2018, I worked at the front desk at a very well-known hotel chain.

While I was there, I started noticing something that completely freaked me out. Housekeeping said that they never washed the comforter or the top bedding between guests. They only wash the sheets. When I asked why, they said, we don't have to wash those after every guest, only every now and again. She said, then I started thinking, oh my God, what? But people are sitting on the bed, on the top of the bed after the airport. They're putting their luggage on top of the bed, which has so many germs on it. People are sitting and eating takeout on the bed.

Kids are jumping all over the beds. Pets sometimes sleep on top of the comforter. She said, and let's be honest, a lot of adult activities probably happen on top of that comforter. Yes. Which is insane. She said, I have no idea if they've changed the policies or not, but this was a very well-known chain. And those comforters were never washed. we didn't even check when we looked at the hotel we didn't even check the comforter because

I didn't even think about I was like there's no world where they wouldn't wash this and then even a lot of the nicer hotels they do the like duvets but instead of using like a duvet cover they just like bundle them in sheets yeah yeah so then by the end of the night the like duvet is exposing itself and then I'm like and trying to wrap it back up yeah this is actually very scary. So one of the scariest theories we ever talked about was what Jared said on the last podcast. Yeah, you Jerry.

About how any time you say, hey, Google, or hey Alexa, kids in the house would dock on the floor and freak out. So this is an email from Lorylae. Lorelei? That's a good name. Shut out Gilmore, girls. She said, Hey, Shane and Friends. Been a fan since

2015. Love listening to the podcast. Thank you. When you were talking about the kids' reaction to the Alexa and Google, it reminded me of something that I wanted to share. Right now I'm doing an internship to complete my music therapy degree and I work with older adults in assisted living. It's people who have memory issues and sometimes even hospice. I have one client who unfortunately suffered traumatic brain injuries due to a stroke and is paralyzed from the neck down and is mostly unable to speak. However, the only phrase she can say is Alexa. What's the time? My supervisor and I thought that was very peculiar because usually when older adults have memory lapses or memory

issues they only have memories from their younger years and alexa is a relatively recent form of technology i don't know what that means but after you were talking about the different theories like the frequencies it made me feel really uneasy just figured that would be something i'd share that is really weird right because i have done a lot of research into like dementia into uh memory loss I mean, there are facilities that are so fascinating, I forget the name of them, but they can like recreate a 50s diner. Oh yeah, I know you're talking about. You know what I mean? It's like a fake town, inside of this fake town, they have, you know, people with dementia, with memory issues living in this fake town and kind of reliving their childhood every day.

Like they literally will decorate an apartment to look like that person's apartment when they were a kid with old technology and, you know, old TVs, old phones. It's really interesting. So, yeah, the fact that, like, somebody older is only able to say, Alexa, what time is it? Which is such a recent thing is kind of scary because it's like, what waves are these machines putting out to latch on to that? That was one of the, that might have been one of the creepiest videos I've seen on the podcast of all the kids just screaming and freaking out at it. It was really scary. It was really scary. Yeah, really scary.

Very, very creepy. Thank you for that email. Okay, we got an update about the glitter theory. So we got so many emails about this. And I guess a TikTok has been going viral about glitter being made in a factory. But in the comments, people started talking about the theory. And someone said, by the way, it is used in the military for chaff. And all the replies are like, what is chaff?

What is that? So then I texted Jared because I'm like, do you know what this means? Yes. Jared, please explain. You know, I think Rylan is a specialist. So evidently. But no, so I did some research. And there was a few things that I found that I deemed to be interesting.

One of them, if you look up how glitter was made, it talks about how it was a gentleman named Henry Washman in the 1930s. And he was actually commissioned by the government to help them make these little washers made out of, it's called Micah for the Manhattan Project, which I don't know if you guys are familiar with what that is, but it's like the first nuclear bomb. and as he was making these little washers, he noticed that pieces were flying off and there were these little glittery rock particles

and the employees from the factories were taking them and selling them to, like, drugstore so people could put them on their Christmas trees. And like even in the interview that kind of popularized the whole conspiracy is the lady said that she couldn't tell you who is the number one buyer of glitter. Yeah.

But you definitely see it, but they don't want you to know what it is. You know, that was the whole thing. So the government, evidently, is the largest consumer of glitter. It's not boat pain or anything like that. It's kind of been put out there as the red herring, I guess you would call it. But what chaff is, is if you've ever seen a jet and it shoots off these like flare type things,

and I think they do it a lot in like air shows for showmanship. But the purpose of it is when a heat sinking missile is traveling towards you and you want to deflect it, obviously. You blow this chaff out, which is aluminum, which is really what glitter is made out of. And now the heat created from the chaff, the glitter is what the missiles will lock onto instead of your actual plane. And I don't know if it's very good for the environment. Wow. Yeah, probably. But that's why she said, you definitely see it because we've all seen when jets blow this stuff out the sides and it looks like fireworks and it's very pretty looking almost. But they don't want you to know what it is. And that's why.

Why? Because the government is the biggest buyer of glitter. Wow. They use it in like rocket fuel. They use it in the chaff. Wow. Wow, that's crazy. Good job, Brian. Yeah.

Okay. This is going to sound stupid. But guys, hear me out. Go with me on this journey. Has anybody else noticed recently that they are pushing protein in everything? Everything. Have you not seen this? Yes.

So obviously, like, you know, there's always been protein bars, protein powders, protein shakes or whatever. In just the last week, every day I am seeing something else that I'm like, am I being pranked? Okay. First, it was, I think it's McDonald's, or I don't remember, it's like a fast food place where they're like, now we have protein in our milkshakes. And I'm like, okay, that seems stupid, but whatever. Then I'm on Instagram, Snickers bar. Now with more protein, literally on the package of the Snickers bar. It's like, we have protein in this bar. I'm like, Okay, then we're at Target the other day, and we're going, and there's a Starbucks in there, and there's a sign at Starbucks, and it says, protein cold foam.

What? So it's literally just in the cold foam, not in the drink, just in the, what is happening? Wait, just- Literally, what the fuck is going on? Side note, yes. They have a banana cold foam? That sounds delicious. New banana.

Has anyone had it? I have not, no. I need to try this. Sugar-free vanilla. the fuck is happening there also what the fuck is going on i think because the trend right now is being in shape and like maybe building muscle and all of that so they're just capitalizing off of it i would assume why is it every single brand at the same time like this happened what like two months ago we were talking about mike's hot honey and it was every single fast food place every you know

chip brand everybody was doing hot honey now pickle is everything pickle chips pickle Pickle drinks. Pickle everything. Pickle fast food. Pickle everything. Now it's the protein. I'm like, are they all brainwashing us into something? I don't understand what the theory is here. But why the fuck is this happening? What's ironic is Spencer pointed out. He's like, they're just listing the amount of protein. It probably always had the protein. That's like I think the milk products, but now it is like it's a trendy thing to be like, oh, protein's a hot market. All these brands are probably looking at like what items are selling. And it's like protein bars. Oh my God. protein can we make fiber the next thing because i need more of it that was true yeah that was like

when i was in high school like 2007 that was the fiber oh yeah fiber one bars fiber it was fiber everything and then no trans fat was a big thing for a while free uh was a big thing sugar free still on a sugar free kick yeah wow that one seems real that one seems like a lot of sugar is just bad for you all right well this next thing pissed me off even more let me show you a video of Hollywood's hottest new star. She's Hollywood's new It Girl. Her name is Tilly Norwood. Let's get to know each other and thanks for watching.

Her photos and videos are all over social media, but Tilly is already causing a major controversy. Why? Because she's not real. She's AI generated. Tilly Norwood, 100% AI generated. Tilly is the creation of a Dutch comedian who says multiple talent agents have shown it in signing the AI actress. Why?

Blowback is intense. This is really, really scary, says actress Emily Blunt. It's a little bit of an unfair advantage. But you know what? Bring it on. Period. I'd cast her.

Every, every AI thing. You are going to get replaced. How does that even work though? I literally don't know. I don't understand. But yeah, I fell down a rat hole about this because I'm like, what the fuck is happening? I don't understand how this works.

But also, why does she look so familiar? Do you guys have any guesses on who this is? Vanessa Hudgens meets... You're kind of right. Nina Doberiff. No. That's a pretty good guess, though. I mean, that's like, I see that.

She's a computer-generated actress who is a mashup of Vanessa Hudgens, Gal Gadot, and Anna de Armas. How is that legal? If I was any three of those girls, I'm suing. What the fuck? Also, I'm so mad at my... people. It says it was unveiled at the Zurich Film Festival, which is in Germany. So, shame to you, Germany. Well, Sack put out a statement, the Screen Actors Guild. They said, to be clear, Tilly Norwood

is not an actor. It's a character generated by a computer programmed that was trained on the work of countless professional actors, which is true. So the way AI works is it learns from different, you know, examples. So literally, this company just imported all the actors and then AI created a performance out of all these it's so fucked up it's so scary but you know it's even scarier yeah in five to 10 years we're gonna be laughing at this and being like ha remember when we were mad that humans were losing jobs acting you know that was funny because everything's AI now like it's going to be I mean I know like why it is seriously uncool and it is awful but it is also going to be our reality no is it going to be the reality for our generation or for the younger generation no I think

it's going to happen in the next 10 years. So it's not just movies that are going to be all AI. No, I wouldn't watch a movie. Podcast. I just need to say that. Okay. Open AI, the creator of ChatGBT.B.T. is working on a TikTok-style social media app where everything is AI generated. And it's already starting. They released a new update to SORA. With Amex Platinum, access to exclusive Amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot track side. So being a fan for Life turns into the trip of a lifetime. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Pre-sale tickets for future events subject to availability and varied by race.

Turns and conditions apply. Learn more at amex.ca. slash Y-Amex. Called Sora 2 and just take a look at some of this. Not real. Two, three, spin. That looks fake. The animation stuff.

Oh, but it's animation. Oh my god, wow. We're going to go. Damn. Ready when you are? Funny viral video. Go. Fake.

You're right? So yeah, now you will open up a fake TikTok and you'll be scrolling and it's all fake. And you can make your own, you just input the text. A guy falling down, everybody laughing. Boop, there it is. But then what's even the point? I don't know. One of the counter arguments about AI is that people that are really pro-AI,

Pro AI are like, well, the goal is that we're all going to not have to work anymore because there's going to be a globalized way that we're all paid exactly the same amount of money. But then what's our purpose? A lot of people's purpose isn't tied to their work. They work to live. Right. Live to work. But when we're also addicted to our phones and addicted to technology, that just leaves more time for people to exist socially on their phone. And if that all becomes AI too, it's like we're not really existing more in our life. we're existing more on our phone so we are becoming blobs if nothing can i also say all his points are hitting so much harder with the bald cap and beard i'm fucking buying this period seems nice seems nice but it's going to be awful well luckily when you're sleeping you know when you're dreaming you're not on your phone you're not connected to a device until now no new device

called the dream recorder this is an open source device that captures and replays your dreams as cinematic AI generated reels. It sits beside your bed, quietly records brainwave activity while you sleep. Then, using a mix of neuroscience and generative AI, it interprets and reconstructs your dreams with visuals. I might be interested in that. Which is interesting, but then the top comment on this is, can't wait for ads in my dreams. Literally, right? Like, because what would be the purpose of them creating this other than to tap into our subconscious and our brain waves a hundred percent that's what they're going to try to see right when you read the idea behind this I thought it was cool because have you ever had a dream and then right when you wake up right wow that would have

been like an incredible movie right yeah but then 50 minutes later you're like shit what happened in my dream I don't remember it anymore that would be cool but this whatever it's playing doesn't look like a dream I've ever had I thought it would be an exact replica of your dream it'll get there I'm excited about that they're definitely going to put ads in it 100% why wouldn't they why wouldn't they want to figure out a way to tap it they're like you know what we're controlling all these people all day on their phones and we could shove ads in their face all day on their phones why not shove them in it's like to want to unlock the end of this dream like stop wait 30 seconds or clear play this ad i can definitely see that happening

oh my god i want to see how this ends i feel like every a i thing that has come out it's like it's make it it makes it so we don't have to think or do anything like every new tool is like now you like you don't have to edit really anymore. It'll edit for you. It'll pick moments of podcast for you. It'll write a script for you. It'll remember your dreams for you. Like, you just don't have to use your brain anymore. Your brain becomes mush. And there's like studies that prove like the more you read, the more you make your brain work. Like the like, you know, you have less chances of like Alzheimer's and certain diseases and whatever. And like this is the opposite of that. This is like not using your

brain at all. And it can only be bad for us as a people as a society. Now is the time to become a chef. right well yeah well speaking of something we're never going to have a shortage of Jared has a theory yes I do go for it period okay here we go our freaky Friday the conspiracy I was talking about was oh my gosh am I you and you're me so wait I'm my head hurts they just freaky Fridays who same zies period Oh, no, he's still got a little in there. Wait, wait, before we get to it, didn't earlier when you put on the wig, you were on Chad GBT, not to promote Judge EPD, but you were like, give me one-liner that violent Adams would say.

Yes, so I actually looked up a couple of things, just so I could kind of step into your head a little bit. So I asked for your top said words and mamas, girlies, flavor profile, and all of the sudden. Those were your top phrases. All of them, I say all the time. And then I said, give me sentences that Rylund Adams would say. The first one is, okay, girlies, I literally cannot. This is too much. And then, well, the last one is, she's giving dot, dot, dot.

And I just thought that would be a good thing to say, like, she's giving something vibes. Spiracy. So evidently. So I was doing some research and I wanted to bring something kind of spooky to the table for this episode. And I don't know if any of you guys are familiar with coast to coast. It was a, and it still is on, but it started in 1988. And it was hosted by Art Bell up until like, you know, a couple years back.

But he was kind of the godfather of conspiracies and broadcasting these stories out. And one of the top stories is called Mel's Hole. Oh. And I thought, you know, period. Mel's hole, duh, but, so Mel's hole, what it is, is in 1997, a gentleman named Mel called into our Bell Show, coast to coast, and he was living in Ellensburg, Washington. Oh, I know about this. Yeah, and he started talking about how on his property, there's this huge gaping hole, right?

It's about nine feet wide, and since he moved in there, he noticed that all the locals throw trash in there, they throw used appliances in there, and then, like, years had gone by, and he started thinking, why is his hole just never filling up? It's like endless, you know? So as a fisherman, he took some fishing line and he said to himself, you know, like, I want to see how deep this hole goes. Because at some point, it got to have a bottom to it. So each fishing line spool that he had had like, I think 5,000 feet on it. So he puts a one pound weight on the end of a fishing line and he lowers it down to 5,000 feet and nothing.

There's no bottom to this hole yet. So he gets 80,000 feet of fishing line and jumps the whole thing down there, which is 15 miles, and it never touches the bottom at all. So then he started- And no human had ever fallen into this? No human had ever fallen. And the crazy part about it is animals were like terrified of this hole. As to say, like, I ain't going nowhere near this thing. Birds even, as birds were flying over, they would circle around the hole. So birds wouldn't even fly over it.

So he called into Art Bell's radio show and he told them this whole story and then the next day when he gets back to his property, the FBI, men in black, all of these people are on his property and they tell him you cannot come back in here. Like we have it all fenced off. You can't come in. So what ends up happening is they give him $3 million a year for three years in order to leave the country. Don't come back on your property. Anything like that. But after the three years, he's missing his family. He wants to come back. So he comes and he's in San Francisco. But then when it gets extra weird is I believe they're called Basques. And they're individuals that are from like Spain or some area over in Europe. But they have a piece of public land in Nevada. And they reach out to Mel and say, hey, we would like you to come look at our land because we know that you own a piece of property that had this. mysterious hole on it and we have the same kind of hole on our property and we'd like to get your thoughts on this so he goes to research this hole so the first thing that they did is they get a cage and they lower a sheep 5,000 feet and within like seconds of it getting to 5,000 feet they stop feeling

any motion but there's a buzz that they feel on the cable that's holding the sheep so they bring it back up 30 minutes later and the sheep is dead and then they take it to do an autopsy on it and they realize that the sheep has just been engulfed with this gnarly tumor that they can't explain. So then after he has this experience, he calls Art Bell and he says, hey, I want to tell you this most recent update. And he says, I have pictures of everything. I have pictures of the holes. I have testimonies from people. I've recorded everything. And the day that he was supposed to call Art Bell, he just completely vanished from the face of the earth. No one ever heard from him again. the phone number ended up getting disconnected like a week later and if you look him up at the time

people were able to find records of Mel Waters and now if you were to try to find this guy there's no record of them ever existing so they believe that this hole that Mel had stumbled upon was actually a portal to another dimension that it could be something where UFOs were using it for intergalactic travel it could be a rip in the time space content continuum where it's like a wormhole to another parallel universe, but it's never been explained. And the thing that kind of got me was now if you look up that property on Google Maps, you can see the two structures that he talked about. And there is a nine foot hole, but now it has water in it and evidently it's just a well. There's no presence of military or anything like that.

but there could be these holes all over the planet and they could be because we've talked about how in like new york especially there's buildings that just aren't even buildings they're just ways to hide oil mines and things like that like who knows what there could be out there that's being covered up that could be a portal to a whole other level of understanding the universe and what we're in and one of the speculations was this might lead into and all alternate universe or existence, and the joke was, if it does, there's just like all these appliances and trash. And like out of nowhere, there's stuff just appears into this, you know, existence. It just always seems to be that somebody comes forward with this bit

of information that seems revolutionary as far as thought in our understanding, and then they just always end up disappearing. But I thought it was, I thought it was an interesting story worth sharing, especially because it's spooky. Oh, happy Halloween. Happy Halloween. Happy Holy Halloween. T. Wow. Well, that was really good. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's like a movie. Yeah. Well, speaking of crazy holes, I think it's time for a recap. Like camera action.

Ryland's recap is about to happen. Ryland's recap. Okay, girlies, on this episode of the Shane Dawson podcast, things get spooky. And we talk about Mel's Hole. Was it a time portal to another dimension? Is it a rip in the time continuum? I don't know. Let's see, Sally.

I don't know. I just think Jared's a big goofball who doesn't know what he's talking about. Sally, that's not very nice. Okay, guys. Salo Hall seems like a wild night for Chris to me. Oh, stop, Jared. Embarrassing. Chris thinks that there's a fat bear event that actually is got.

that are chubby, but it's just really a fat bear event. Yeah, these bears can only eat for six months, so they get big and fat, and they eat salmon all day. Sally, are you feeling sick? Your voice is off. Shut up, Jared. You look so funny with your big, bushy eyebrows. I can't even take you serious. I do need to go to the groomer.

This product that Sandy has me on is really working. Yeah, you need to get sheared. Cheap trick. Oh, right. Cheap trick alert. Jared brings a cheap trick today that can land all of us in prison. Evidently, if you buy it Alta, a little bit of facial conditioner, you could just empty it and then refill it with Walmart material.

What do you think, Sally? I think that's a horrible idea, Rylund. I think that Jared is just putting bad information out there that's going to get everybody locked up. Well, I'm sorry, everybody. It's just what me and Sandy have been up to it. Criminal alert. Jared and Sandy are breaking the law.

A haunted amusement party. Spooky is the theme in this episode, where we find out that Cedar Point is the most haunted location in the United States. Shane Dawson podcast crew will soon be there to investigate. I don't want to go. I'm terrified it goes, Ryland. Oh, stop being such a baby, Sally. I'm not being a baby.

I'm just terrified. It's okay. We're going to make you go. Oh, my God. I feel like I'm having a fever dream. Hotel comforters aren't washed. Ooh. Oh.

It's breaking news comes out, and now we can't sleep tight because bedbugs are all over hotel rooms. Evidently, top chains don't even wash comforters. They just throw them away every three months. Isn't that gross, Sally? Ugh! That's why I don't stay in hotels, Ryland, because I've always known this to be true.

You're very smart. sally oh uh a i actress taking over oh tilly what is the world coming to i can't even act like i'm happy about this oh because a i actress evidently are taking over tilly who's been modeled after vanessa hutchin and two other people i have no idea who they are has been signed to an agency but we have no idea how that's even going to work out this is the end of entertainment as we know it people are doom scrolling on their phones ruining their lives and the goal is just to make us puppets and robots and energy sources for the matrix bots. Sally.

Wow. Period. Period. Sally. Wow. Oh my God. Are we done? I think we're,
