riled up we're about 10 miles. Yeah, yeah. How many miles? How many miles, bitch? 10 miles outside of Ellensburg. Fuck yeah. And Mel Waters is walking around his property. This is a patch of land in Kittitas County that he's bought to work on.

Mel is taking apart some machinery and cleaning out some trash on his property. And the great thing about owning a bunch of land like Mel is that the world is your bin. You don't have to bag things up and get it collected. You can just dump it on your own land. Very true. You broke the toaster, throw it out the window. Oh, you broke the window because the window wasn't open when you threw out the toaster?

Bulldoze the entire house. Who cares? Scrap it. It's yours. So as usual, Mel was dumping trash into various ditches and holes on his property. And after filling up one ditch pretty much to the brim with endless trash, he went to find another. You're kind of seeing this is why the world looks the way it does. Yeah.

Because this is what human beings do. They very short-sightedly create trash and dump it on their own property. He found a good-sized hole in the ground and threw some old wood in it. The wood descended into the darkness, and he heard no thud as it hit the bottom. Weird, he thought. It must be a soft landing down there. Then he picked up some scrap metal and threw that in. It was swallowed up by the blackness, but again, the noise of the metal landing on wood never came. He got down on his hands and knees and yelled into

the hole. Then he stared, waiting for the yell to echo back. It never did. What in the blue hell? No, Mel was curious. He went inside and came out with a fishing rod and line, and unwound it as quickly as he could. Once the line hit the bottom, it would go slack and he would know how deep the hole was.

Simple. Well, a few minutes passed of unwinding this fishing rod, and he would know how deep the hole was simple well a few minutes passed of unwinding this fishing rod and he couldn't believe it he'd used the entire line and he still hadn't hit the bottom so later that day mel had to run a few errands he came back from a fishing shop with a bag full of fishing line the fishing line's not gonna cut it bud a thousand meters long oh okay maybe it will he tied them together what kind of fish are you trying to catch with that i didn't believe that when i read it you know i like had to google this and like they they make them that long you can buy like fishing wire and it's like

a thousand meters long the fish you catch with that line they're not you don't want to eat you don't want to eat them they serve zero purpose yeah they've never seen sunlight before when you pull them out of the water they explode i mean even in animal crossing what's that line three foot and you're catching sharks yeah deep sea creatures you do not need a thousand meters the earth version of that is like instead of i don't know hunting a deer you dig a hundred thousand feet into the earth and eat a beetle that's been there since the dinosaur days just be a normal person he tied like 40 of these things together and lowered them in he sat for hours doing this and yet the line never hit the bottom he thought he was tripping. He lay back in the grass, unable to comprehend.

He had used 80,000 feet of fishing line and it never hit the bottom. This mystery was too weird for him to tell anyone about and then believe him. So he decided to put it out of his mind. I mean, he really hit the mother load for fly tipping. He should have started charging locals to get rid of their stuff for them. Yeah, absolutely. Just dump anything, whatever, garbage, bodies. No one's going to find it.

At least he tried to forget it, but in the following days, he was working in the yard carrying his portable radio to listen to music. But it started cutting off. Goddamn Radio Sh shack piece of shit. He smacked it, but it still didn't work. That's when he looked over to see he was standing only a few meters from the hole. Throw it in. That's what he's thinking, right?

No, it's definitely not what he's thinking. In the trash. He walked back a few paces and sure enough, the radio kicks back in. Then walked a couple paces closer and it cuts out again. He walked even closer to the hole to see what would happen. And that's when

strange radio sounds started pouring out of the speaker. He turned up the volume to try and hear better. He could swear there was even a weird voice now. But he couldn't... Feed me! Feed mother earth!

But he couldn't make sense of it. Creeped out, he switched it off. In the next few days, he was getting into his car just a couple miles from home after running a few errands when he spotted his neighbor's dog, Jack, and went over to pet him. Oh, hey boy. What are you doing out here, huh? To make sure it was Jack and not just an identical dog, he checked the collar.

Sure enough, it was him. All right, I guess John is around here somewhere. I'll double check with him when I get back. Mel drove back to his house and caught John right before he went inside his own house. John, just the man I'm looking for. Wait, is everything okay? Oh, hey, Mel. Yeah, you don't worry about me.

Listen, I want to talk to you myself. I hope you don't mind. You mentioned you had been dumping stuff out in your yard. Well, my dog Jack died last night, and I couldn't bring myself to bury him on my own, so I hope you don't mind. I laid him to rest in that hole of yours this morning. What are you talking about, John?

I just saw Jack with my own eyes. I'm afraid not, Mel. You must have been mistaken. Anyways, I'll best be going. Thanks again. Mel is freaking out at this point. He couldn't say it out loud, but he checked that dog's collar. It was Jack, all right.

He was either losing his mind or something was going on with this hole. A dog went in that hole dead, Rory, and it came out alive. This is really weird. It's weird enough that this person's pet passed away and their first thought was, I'll just dump it in my neighbor's hole so apparently it did seem weird to me but apparently mel and his friends and locals and stuff apparently they had been getting rid of livestock in there let's say if like a sheep died on the farm or something you do have to dispose of that you can't leave it lying around it's true look i'm not gonna dance around the fact that i'm a city boy i like my coffee iced my iphone charged i'm not used to life on

a hard rough farm you know i have no reason to own a shotgun yeah throw a dog in a hole as far as i'm concerned when an animal has a bit of a cough he goes to a farm somewhere far far away and has a good time with the rest of his friends he doesn't get a bolt through the back of his head and thrown into hell so this is a little intense for me but maybe this is common practice maybe there are basically death pits for animals uh in these kind of rural areas like what happens if a cow is sick you can't eat it right can you because it's bad no i i mean i guess not you can't milk them i mean if they're really sick yeah i don't know i mean if if they if they're just something's

wrong with them i'd say they do get put down i don't know i guess there's a whole there's a big range of difference between you going in and thinking wow that cow looks a little bit frail to coming in and the cow locking eyes with you and saying, what am I here for? Right. To only make milk and suffer. You're like, okay, he needs to go in the pit. I think he came from the pit.

So I'll return him. He locks eyes with the cow and he goes, You're like, oh God, Mary, don't drink the milk she's weird mary spits out green milk what oh christ not again get the epi pen it's like she's not allergic she drank demon milk you know that's not just a blanket antidote for everything an epi pen that night mel did not sleep well he had fitful dreams of bizarre visions his stress and confusion bubbling over when all of a sudden he woke it was pitch black it must be the middle of the night but why did he wake up?

For some reason, he could sense that something woke him. Was it a sound? What was it? At the window, he could see just a little light coming through the curtains, like twilight, as if it was a full moon. He walked to the window, already half knowing that what he was going to see was not good. As he pulled back the curtains, he looked out onto his property, to the hole, and he could swear there was a black beam of energy coming out of the hole. Oh my god.

For sure. Fill the hole full of concrete at this point. Well, you can. It would just keep eating it up, wouldn't it? Yeah, well, that's what all this evidence to date suggests i guess like a manhole cover or something like that to just seal over the top of it yeah yeah yeah i see what you're saying because you're not filling that thing up with concrete yeah and don't you know we got to learn from the uh little piggies and the wolf the big bad wolf don't use wood don't use straw it's got to be bulletproof stainless steel yeah that's the only way to do it it's actually

this kind of reminds me of um do you ever read um popular uh japanese horror artist uh junji ito's story about holes no oh you should do that afterwards it's very i don't remember the name of the comic uh illustration but it's basically a horror about uh all these holes appearing in a cliffside in the in the shapes of humans i'm sorry maybe i have yeah yeah that's the only one i've read it's terrible weirdly terrifying and everyone has their own hole that just calls to them and once they see it they can't stop themselves from going into the hole and it's like it's basically like horror design for people who have claustrophobia because the hole is like perfectly to the millimeter fits your body so you can't like you just like it's basically like those

kids toys where the star fits in the star hole and they can't move but there's no there's no basket full of toys at the bottom no there's nowhere's nowhere to go. It's darkness and despair. We're seeing some similarities here. Him just being woken up, hearing this whole call to him in the night. Hopefully Mel isn't about to throw himself in the hole. That will not solve his problems. So he didn't fill it in or cover it up. But he had to tell someone.

So he called none other than art bell someone who's come up surprisingly infrequently on this paranormal life uh for a show about the paranormal he was host of coast to coast am now coast to coast sounds to maybe some of our younger listeners like a chill drive time radio station but it was actually a pretty hard-hitting show that regularly broke paranormal news and interviews we don't need coast to coast we need surface to mantle we need ghost to ghost top to core we need someone to get from the top to the bottom of this pit if there was anyone who could understand what mel was going through, it was Art Bell. So Mel called in, went on air and told his entire f***ed up story to date. And Art listened patiently as he always does. And once Mel got off the phone, he felt an immediate

weight off his chest for telling someone else the story. This, however, turned out to be a big mistake. The next night, it's about 10 p.m. and Mel is turning in for the night when he hears a knock at the door. Crazy assholes coming to my door this late at night. They can come back tomorrow. Another knock, but this time louder. All right, all right, I'm coming, Jesus.

But he could never have expected what was behind that door a tall federal officer of some kind dressed in an entirely black suit no way i thought you were gonna say it was like broadcast on the radio so like a bunch of paranormal investigators or sightseers showed up why doesn't why does a federal a federal agent heard about a deep hole and decided this was worth a journey there is nothing going on they are overstaffed as the cia are just like we do have a number of like uh militias in south america plotting to overthrow the uh united states government or we did hear this hole where a dead dog went in and came out alive it's like anyone want to call dibs like

everyone's hand goes up to the dead dog this is crazy i love it what can he do arrest the hole jump in it it's the egg comes in a scuba diver kit. I want to jump in. They just send an elite crack squad of bungee jumpers in. Yeah, it's either going to be tourists showing up, federal agents showing up, or a bunch of people with dead dogs hoping to bring their pet back to life. That's sad but true. Mr. Waters, my name is Agent Foster. Sorry to call on you so late, but unfortunately there's been a plane crash in your area that we're investigating.

A plane crash here? I didn't hear anything. It was a stealth plane. Just kidding, Mr. Waters. That's just a little government joke for you. But unfortunately, the plane crash is very real, and we have to take a look around your property to look for wreckage. Mel looked beyond this MIB and saw several government employees in hazmat suits. Jesus, what are they dressed like that for? Is it dangerous here? We hope not, Mr. Waters, but in the interest of your safety, we insist on you vacating the property indefinitely. Excuse me? You would be, in effect, leasing your property exclusively to the United States government for a considerable annual sum, of course. What the hell are you talking about,

man? What plane crash? I recommend you vacate my property right now or I'll be leasing you a considerable amount of shotgun pellets into your ass. You think you're gonna talk me off my property? My grandfather lived in this county. His grandfather lived in this here county. We want to offer $250,000 up front and again for each year we occupy your property. I'll get my bags. Can I get that in cash though? I'm not allowed in the check cash place and just like that mel was removed from his property and he moved to australia and didn't look back he called into coast to coast am a few more times to update on his story but more or less after this he left behind the world of the paranormal now clearly with this case rory extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I'm glad you brought that

up. Mel was always extremely cagey about the specific whereabouts of his hole, which made this a pretty difficult case to investigate. Although I do think it should be pretty easy when you think about it. If you just Google map a few miles around Ellensburg, you're looking for a top secret military research facility. But thankfully, a medicine man by the name of Red Elk went to the press in the early 2000s, claiming that he had visited the hole many times, as a young boy and as an adult in later years. He claimed that everything, and more, is true. So after Red Elk talking a big game both in the press and online about this hole, he finally agreed to take people to the hole. He organized a group of 30 people to join him outside Ellensburg to walk to the hole. This group consisted of scientists, geologists,

paranormal researchers, mystics, and others. Believers and skeptics walked side by side trying to see the truth of this once and for all this is the most hilarious group that have ever taken an expedition together scientists and wizards all hand in hand on a journey to find a really deep hole i love this you gotta really deliver at the end of that if You've flown all these people out, only 30 people. It's like freaking Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. They had to get a, I don't know, a golden ticket in their cereal to get a chance. You've basically promised to rewrite the history and science books forever.

Yeah. This one hike. I can bring animals back to life by throwing them into a pit who wants to come check it out surprisingly a lot of people now unfortunately red elk basically took them on a massive hike then seemed to get lost clearly didn't know where he was going then gave up and apparently started lecturing the group about a place called the inner earth okay where giant lizards turn humans into sex slaves this is great at which point the group apparently just decided to have like a fun day out it went south so fast yeah i like to think that within 30 minutes he was already kind of

trying to change the subject away from the hole 40 minutes in he's actually saying that that that people should be pretty grateful that they're even here 10 minutes into the hike no one talking he just goes you know it's not really that deep though what i just don't want you guys to get your hopes up you said it was 25 miles deep yeah yeah yeah but you know it might be kilometers might be meters actually the expedition ended with them in the wilderness basically being mugged by him trying to he tried to mug everyone with a pointy stick they beat him up threw him in the hole and he came back twice as strong i should point out that red elk apparently uh famously wears a pendant on his neck neck with a piece on the end of it that he claims is from a UFO, which he also claims he found in the middle of a road.

That sounds pretty... I don't want... You don't want space technology around your neck. Yeah, that seems like the days of lead makeup. You're not going gonna live a long time the amount of people who just saw a ufo and got like radioactive poisoning you don't want it around your neck yeah so true i didn't even think about that well he still has the energy to scam people so he can't be doing too bad pretty good yeah and sadly just like that the chance of finding

mel's hole for real was dashed people do still research this mystery though and still want to believe they're trying to track down mel's elusive hole apparently there was in fact a website dedicated to this called mel's hole.com i kind of took in a deep breath went on incognito browsing and typed in mel's hole.com. That's smart. Not knowing if I would come out of it alive. It's like you ever been to Penn Island? That's not what you think either. It's penis land for all you listeners that didn't get it. This website did 404.

So it was neither the truth about Mel's hole or a scam or a porn site. It was just nothing. Penis land? 69'd 69 it didn't 404 so roy what are your initial thoughts about this case you said that um did you say people have tried to look for the actual location of the hole on google maps yeah because i really like the idea of of people being able to do a paranormal investigation from their armchairs, from the safety of their own homes. Yeah, I mean, we don't have the time. There's so many cases in the world.

We don't have the time to go visit them all. Sure, we're too scared. Sure, it's expensive. We're too broke. But, you know, it does take time and we can't be in every country at once. So sometimes you need to be able to street view a paranormal site.

You're like, i think that might be it you click and drag the little yellow man and he just disappears what i guess that's yeah the satellite view would work because it's taken from space you could see it but you're not getting like a google car drive by yeah i did hear that the hole itself actually somewhat resembles a well i think mel or someone else might have built a small wall around it clearly to stop things falling in smart into the the netherland the neverland yeah from it might be kind of hard to spot i mean this thing's gonna be pretty small it's gonna resemble a well but it still should be findable you would think yeah and this kind of does bring us to the the kind of final stage of investigating this and trying to find out if it's

true or not part of the problem with this story for people who have looked into it and tried to determine its veracity is is mel waters real they cannot find any written record of anyone called mel waters ever living in this county. Now, this is not necessarily a problem in itself. We might expect Mel to have used a pseudonym, hide his identity. He did go on the run from the government after all. But he did paint quite a specific picture. He said that his wife worked for Washington University, I believe.

Again, no one really matching that description could be found working at anywhere near there okay it doesn't bode well for the story when the man who found the paranormal thing might not exist let alone the paranormal thing itself yeah it's quite a rare occasion where this is like a whistleblower a cold call they just said the craziest paranormal story dropped the mic and then dropped the mic into an endless abyss and disappeared into the void uh quite a weird one normally people hang around to try and become famous yeah really strange this one definitely weird i like the balls on him that he flew to Australia, which I'm going to go ahead and assume is the country that has the most dangerous holes of all time. Yeah, there's probably more.

Way more. Lots of holes filled with creatures that probably could kill you. Snake pits and things like that. I thought it was interesting, this government offer of $250,000 a year to lease that property and to get him to kind of make himself scarce. Yeah. Is that enough money for you to dip, leave your whole life behind? $250,000? No, I can't. I haven't worked.

I've seen a couple of different reports on this i think it's per year what i don't think it was just like up front and that's it i think the idea was we're leasing this land for this much money oh my god that's insane would you do it if an mib agent walked through the front door and offered me 100 pounds to stop the podcast, I probably would. Really? That's less than we make on Patreon, so I don't see how that figures. Well, I figure he'll probably shoot me in the head if I say no. It's a rhetorical question. The money's pretty irrelevant in this situation. It's more me wanting to live. To be fair, I did see at least one report for this story

where the MIB agent offered $250,000, but also said, if you don't do it, we might find a drugs lab on your property. If you don't do it, we're throwing you in your own hole. I like the idea that the MIB agent showed up and he's like, it's like, all right, we're going to offer you $250,000 per year to lease the land, including the hole. And he's like, yeah, that sounds great. And the agent just grabs him and he's like holding him over the hole.

And it's like, if you don't do it, I'll take you. I said I would do it. Wait. Oh, you're you're fine with him i'm sorry just in my head i was like there's no way he's gonna do this i just thought you were gonna this happens most of the time people say no yeah it's like i'm so sorry like dusting them off sorry about that sir and one of the other key problems with this story is i hate to say it but coast to. Pretty famous, groundbreaking show for breaking paranormal news.

But it's not the most trusted source of facts. Right. I want to just paint a picture. I did come across one story about the veracity of claims made on Coast to Coast AM. Apparently, a few years back, someone called in to see if they would get accepted on air and they said their name was uh gordon freeman and they started talking about um how they're scientists and they work with sort of advanced top secret uh portal technology yeah and uh turns out art bell and the whole crew took it pretty seriously and of course this turned out to be the plot of famous video game half-life fair enough yeah

it was a little disappointing that they didn't catch that very blatant hoax yeah that doesn't kind of you know paint them with a lot of confidence with the stories that they get and we get those emails all the time you know chancers trying their luck uh believe it uh you know they're like oh i saw bigfoot can you write about my story my name's amanda hug and kiss my unbelievable uh can you can i saw an alien in my back garden oh can, can you mention me on the podcast? My name's Senior Wiener. That one actually turned out to be true. I replied to him and I was like, f*** off, Senior Wiener.

You made up man. And that's why we ask for tax returns, multiple forms of identification. Social security. Passwords to all online accounts, bank accounts. We need it all up front. We really do, just to prove. We are now the. We need it all up front. We really do. Just to prove, we are now the heirs to Señor Wiener.

So if anything happens to him, we inherit his land and his money and everything. Señor Wiener actually is the leading manufacturer of jalapenos. And it's a pretty significant estate. It really is. The Wiener estate is enormous. It's a grower. It is wide and it is short. So, Roy, I'm not sure I'm painting the most believable picture for you here,

but at the end of every episode, we do have to decide whether our given paranormal tale is true or false what do you think today this reminds me of a story that i investigated quite a while ago now but one of my favorites which is the famous money pit i don't remember where it was on some island but um very similar to this it was a seemingly endless pit that no matter how far you dug down. Someone died. Well, actually, no, it wasn't an endless pit. It was a place where they thought treasure was.

Yeah, and they kept digging down and sideways. Yeah, they just kept going and going and going. And the cave was collapsing inward. Water was coming in. They drained the water, dig deeper. They just kept going and going. And a ton of people died trying to dig up this treasure that was buried in the pit it was ridiculous but it's a great episode i very much recommend it and we're seeing a similar thing

which just this enormous pit that just kind of calls just has this like alluring draw to it that just calls people towards it very very strange it's a bit weird that we didn't really talk anymore about the dog that was cloned well we don't know if he was clone well he was cloned wasn't he yeah he kind of went yeah or else it was some kind of like time loop or something maybe this is some kind of like majora's mask-esque hole that link falls through in the beginning and ends up in a parallel universe yeah that could work what i don't understand is that if the federal government did get control of the hole what are they gonna do with it yeah what you're gonna throw a terrorist down there and they come

back to life this seems weird i think the idea is they just want to research it they're just you know they got feelers everywhere listening to coast to coast am listening to hopefully this paranormal life podcast and just you know looking for tips on the latest what they always say though now we're gonna research the hole we're gonna get our best men on the hole two days later they're nuking the hole yeah they've got an army man in there they've got colonel floating gun basically floating around the back of the scientist's head just being like pull the trigger it's like but we haven't started this i said pull the trigger they just drop a nuke down into this thing and it never goes off they're trying to like excavate the hole so they can uh drop the hole on countries they're at war with to try and disappear the countries this is weird this is

a weird story it is a weird one rory but is it a yes or a no today i think until i can get a picture of this hole even a picture of the hole would be good i don't even need the fishing wire picture i don't know if that would communicate the paranormalness of this hole i i i don't know this could be a a ghostly haunted tunnel that that calls out to the hearts of men it could be an ancient entrance to the hollow earth itself it's true or this could be a really deep hole that they found out in the middle of nowhere and then couldn't even find you said he could see it from his bedroom window so it couldn't have been that hard to find the hole right but if you would see anything from your bedroom window if there was a black beam of energy coming out of it i should say on the topic of it just being a deep hole, some geologists did weigh in on this whole topic.

And they said it's basically impossible for a hole to be 80,000 feet deep because the heat of the earth would make it collapse in on itself. They said it maybe, maybe, the faintest possibility could be real because weird things exist in nature. And yes, the Earth's crust in Washington is that deep. Sure. But it's very unlikely. Also, the temperature 80,000 feet down into the Earth. Yeah. I think they said it would be around 700 degrees centigrade, which would probably melt fishing wire.

That's maybe why he didn't get it back the reason you didn't hear any noise is because the materials evaporated in the heat if the dog wasn't dead when it was thrown in there it's sure as hell dead now but it doesn't bode well for the physical possibility of this happening yeah yeah if if scientists are saying it's pretty much physically impossible to exist that does either mean it doesn't exist or it is paranormal and i'm not seeing the enough evidence today to convince me that this is something that's paranormal it's a no it's a hoax the whole thing is fake metal waters isn't real there's no way down on it it says there's a

chance red elk is a con man sure he's real but he's a piece of shit the whole thing is a lie no one has ever found a scrap of proof to suggest that any of this really happened which you know if you were taking people out on a journey to show them some sort of cryptid or mythical beast at least you got a pretty good excuse if you're like i don't know he was here yesterday in that bush eating some berries yeah it's a hole it can't move it doesn't move you really don't have any excuses and i think red elk also um kind of unfortunately vacillated from saying he had been there once and seen it to later saying that he'd been there many times since he was a boy so even he didn't get his

story straight yeah two months later he's like i was actually born in the hole i was born in the hole i crawled out of it uh yeah it's a double no it's a double no it's a double no today unfortunately we were in a bit of a no or a yes drought bit of a no hole 80 000 nose deep uh so i don't know who's gonna be that paranormal dog yes that brings us back to life i do not know hopefully you guys can help out if you have a tremendous paranormal tip send it on in to this paranormal life podcast at gmail.com as you can tell we are not picky we just talked for about an hour about a really deep hole and it's not the first whole episode we've done we've gone we've come from investigating roswell in a two-part episode that you know spanned the entire relationship between the u.s government and extraterrestrials

Bob is an uncle. My uncle? You said Bob's Yee uncle like he's me uncle. He's not really an uncle.

He's just like, you know, he's that guy in the community. He's just like, hey, he's your uncle. He's like, he's just an uncle figure to everyone. He keeps asking me for money, though. Should I give it to him? Is he my uncle i'm confused he's got a knife kit it's the old uncle racket and he tailors all this time thank you thank you too thank you thank you to watson watson is a criminal that never gets caught

and he mugged a police station what mugged yeah i mean what does that even mean police he went in and it was like this is a robbery that's like a level 100 difficulty crime yeah you're five stars immediately that's like that's like going into a bee's hive to steal honey with the bees still in it yeah weirdly as well as soon as he stole their badges he became the law wow so he just pardoned himself and left that's insane weird loophole thank you to jenny how jenny how half woman half beaver that's right that seems wrong that's not what the noise beavers make is it have you ever heard a beaver touche i rest my case i'm so wrong thank you to taylor ism taylor ism is when you really live breathe and worship all things taylor you know instead of living like jesus did you live

like taylor did how did they live like van wilder whoa partied every day and every night i'm into it thank you to nut m nut m was a experimental nut developed by the soviets in the 70s um project nut m they're referred to highly confidential. Yeah, they thought they could simultaneously feed the nation while controlling the minds of the nation. It went too far. How does a nut go too far? The people became nuts. Oh, that's about as far as it can go.

Yeah, it cloned with their DNA. The M stands for many, many people turned to nuts. I don't know how that's Russian for anything. Thank you to Kelby Anderson. Also, thank you for giving a little tip on the James Dean episode.

Yeah, so thank you to Kelby and her son. No, no, Anderson. Really cool to have like a duo, like a family, keep it in the family kind of paranormal investigation. I don't think it's Anderson.

Actually, it's really heartfelt. It's one person. It's not a family. You've misread the second name. I don't see how I could have misread it when I'm the one reading it. By definition, you're the only one that could misread it. Kelby Anderson will not stand for this kind of slander

on the cast thank you to Becky that's right it's Becky with the good hair Becky is growing hair at about a foot a day pretty substantial rate so she's actually donating that to people who need it it It's a good cause.

She has Goku's hair though, so everyone's walking around looking like Goku. Can I sign up for this hair? Becky? Thank you to Thomas Corrin. Thomas wasn't born yesterday. He was born tomorrow.

What? He's a time traveler. That's right. My brain is melting from that sheer concept. And he's come back from tomorrow. Which, if he was born tomorrow, he's still a baby. So he's not like an old man. But he somehow has got a hold of an iPhone.

And he's listening to the pod. Thank you for blessing us with your acquaintance. That's insane, man. Thank you to Mark. Give me 10,000 yards of fishing wire, because Mark is a shark, and he's deep in the dark. Yo.

So we're going to need some fishing wire. Why do you want to catch a shark, though? A goat. I think that's how they call it, a dinosaur. And some worms. Why all those? Just to keep the other fish busy so they don't go for the goat. Okay, I see the logic.

I see that's actually pretty smart. Yeah, right? It's pretty good. Thank you to Jason McLaughlin. Jason is erasing. He just walks into university lecture rooms around the nation and he goes into where mathematicians have really important work on their whiteboard

and their blackboards that they're working on for months on end. He erases it at night and then they have to start over. That's really mean. Ruins their careers. He's also a raisin, a little dried fruit.

Shut up. Which makes it even more remarkable that he manages to pull it off. What a little shit. Thank you to Ben Taylor. Ben Taylor, whose father was a sailor, left the family to go sail the seas. Actually thought that the statue of a mermaid on the front of a ship was a real woman and uh left

left one day with her uh not realizing that she wasn't real i mean whatever makes you happy bud yeah it made him sad yeah she's wooden. It was an awkward conversation when he came back. Thank you. Of course he came back. With splinters in his lips. There you are. I get seasick easily.

Thank you to Dallas Stewart. Dallas Stewart is a palace steward. He kind of looks after the palace when the royals are gone. But sort of parasite style, he kind of takes the piss a bit, sits on the throne, eats all the royal food, wears the crown. Doesn't do very

good job. He's not a good steward, no. So, uh, I'm afraid that's not why you're being allowed into our commune, because the palace will not stand for it. Thank you to Gaz Evans. Gaz Sevens Evans. Because anytime gaz hits the casino they roll a seven cha-ching they only play that very very weird specific casino game which is

roll a seven and you win it's that's the only rule shit at blackjack shit at poker everything which is weird because three sevens are 21 so they should be playing blackjack if only it transferred to cards my friend it's dice only thank you to oliver spicer oliver spicer the kitchen's spicer that's all he does he doesn't cook the food he doesn't prepare the food but right when it's about to go out the door he's like hold on hold on tastes like shit and he crunches a bit of spice on it and then it's like the the sacred touch that's pretty cool it's pretty badass it makes the food worse uh but his dad owns the restaurant so he didn't want to do the dishes he didn't want to be the sous chef the head chef he wanted to be spicer and he said that's not a rule it's just salt

there's not like some magical spice in there he just puts a bit of salt yeah cracks it once thank you to casey sabo casey sabo delivers cases of sabo the only beer that gets you sober the more you drink the clearer you think that's the that's the catchphrase yeah that was what they thought in the 50s before it was made illegal yeah yeah it's because it it doesn't i mean it sure it like perks you up but it it destroys your liver at an alarming rate it's water and cocaine let's not dance around it thank you to johan rend johan can you tell us your plan because we put you in charge of the communes finances and the place has been tanking for months yeah we need to see the big picture here because it's starting to look like you're draining us dry you you really are and it's

we don't have the finances to stay afloat much longer so even any i'll take like a freaking just a little powerpoint presentation and a picture of a graph with the things going up that's all that would really make me feel better it doesn't even have to come from any evidence just a nice graph thank you to brody ryan brody the roadie brody has toured with every famous rock band on earth except i don't know how they keep still getting the gigs because there's such a rock and roll roadie they're passed out before the band even arrives to load in for the day so not really doing the one job that a roadie kind of has to do it's insane i don't know how i think they're just such you know a party animal they get tagged along every

time that's pretty badass that being that fun that you don't lose your job. Yeah, imagine like a surgeon who just never did surgery or helped anyone, but was such a party animal. They got kept at the hospital. He's so good at karaoke at the annual Christmas party that they keep him on staff. Justifies the 70k salary. And thank you lastly, but not leastly to stephen white stephen white was on the price is right once oh uh but unfortunately he was such a billionaire he

didn't understand the cost of basic items at all he just kept guessing everything was multiples of one million pound uh lost pretty immediately i feel like he really had no intention of competing on the show he showed up in a tuxedo made of money and didn't need to win anything because he wouldn't even notice that kind of cash he said he said that into the mic before the ad break he's like this means nothing to me i'm already rich they're all booing him stop he's burning cash in front of the cameras really weird i don't know why he wanted to go on the show yeah thank you to steve and thank you to everyone we've shouted out today as i say um we hope to uh we're kind of finishing up our multi-year batch of

shout outs but we hope to bring them back in another form one day to give new patrons um a well-deserved shout out as well so thank you for back in another forum one day to give new patrons a well deserved shoutout as well. So thank you for tuning in this week hope you enjoyed this week's episode. We will of course be back next Tuesday with a brand new paranormal tale. See you then!
