2:07
remember, this episode is entirely
2:09
human made. No AI were harmed or
2:11
used in the process other than getting
2:13
the base for the graphic. That's
2:16
true. And then we
2:18
put the graphic in
2:20
Photoshop and then created ourselves.
2:24
Our skills have improved. Mine
2:26
have improved. Yeah, dramatically.
2:29
All right. So today's episode
2:31
is Strange News 12. And
2:34
if you don't know what strange
2:36
news is, it's pretty much
2:38
where Daniel and I have each
2:40
selected strange news articles and
2:42
we have pretty much gone over them,
2:44
haven't told each other about them, and then
2:46
we are going to present them to
2:48
one another. We have each selected three articles
2:50
with one bonus article at the end.
2:53
So it's similar to a Theories Thursday except
2:55
there are many articles about strange and
2:57
mysterious news that's going on around the world. That's
3:00
right. And to start it off,
3:02
we have to figure out who goes first.
3:04
And to do that, we will use
3:06
the Lucky Dice. Now,
3:08
before we get into that, we are going
3:10
to take a quick break and we'll be
3:13
right back. This episode
3:15
is sponsored by Shopify. Now,
3:18
as you know, before we used
3:20
Shopify, our website
3:23
was garbage. What was the
3:25
issue, Dan? It was slow, it
3:27
wouldn't load, it always crashed. It
3:29
would always crash. Every time we uploaded something to
3:31
it, it would crash. And when more than
3:33
two people viewed it at the same time, it
3:35
would crash. But now we don't
3:37
have that problem, do we? No, we don't.
3:39
Why is that? Because we have switched over
3:41
to Shopify. Shopify is the
3:43
home of the number one checkout.

4:55
evens Eight means I goes
4:57
first Dan goes second big foots,
4:59
but chose All right, so
5:01
my first strange news article is
5:03
titled pet bomb And I
5:05
hope this doesn't get flagged on
5:07
YouTube for us saying bomb
5:10
bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb say
5:12
bomb on a YouTube video.
5:14
I'm gonna do TSA. I got
5:16
a bomb Oh, yeah. Here's
5:18
the bomb. Here's the tick. Oh,
5:21
nice. All
5:23
right. So this strange
5:25
news article revolves around
5:27
a 19 year old
5:30
dude named Joshua Lowe.
5:33
Now, Joshua lives in Michigan with
5:35
his girlfriend, and together
5:37
they live at his girlfriend's
5:39
house or his girlfriend's
5:41
family's house. Okay. Yeah. And
5:43
in January of last
5:45
year, 2024, Joshua's
5:47
girlfriend came up to him and
5:49
was like, I'm going to go
5:52
on a cruise with my family,
5:54
which leaves out of Miami in
5:56
a few weeks. You can't
5:58
go with us. So you're
6:00
going to stay here. And can you watch
6:02
my pets for me? So even
6:04
though he's living in the same house with
6:06
her family in relation with they're just
6:08
like, no, you can't go. This is a
6:10
family only trip. Yeah, you can't come.
6:12
It's only family. Stay here and watch our
6:14
pets for us. They don't really like
6:17
him, do they? No, that's what it sounds
6:19
like. I'm sorry. But that's so Joshua
6:21
was like, yeah, sure, babe, I can stay
6:23
here and watch her pets. But
6:25
secretly, he didn't want
6:27
to watch his girlfriend's pets and her family's
6:29
pets. Instead, he
6:31
wanted to go on the cruise with his
6:33
girlfriend and her family. I would want to do
6:35
the same thing. I mean, I would, too. So
6:39
for the next few weeks, Joshua
6:41
tried to talk his girlfriend into letting
6:43
him come with her. on the
6:45
cruise, but she kept saying no, that
6:47
she needed him to watch her
6:49
pets. Wow. Well,
6:52
the day of the
6:54
cruise came. Joshua's girlfriend
6:57
and her family flew to
6:59
Miami and boarded the
7:01
Carnival cruise ship. Of
7:03
course, Joshua stayed behind at
7:05
the family's home and began watching
7:08
the girlfriend's pets or his
7:10
girlfriend's pets. So a few
7:12
days passed. and Jessica and
7:14
her family were having a super
7:16
fun time on the Carnival cruise
7:18
ship, which was heading for Jamaica.
7:21
However, that would be short
7:23
lived. The Carnival
7:25
cruise ship randomly got an
7:28
email from an anonymous person
7:30
that said, Hey, I
7:32
think someone might have a bomb
7:35
on your sunrise cruise ship. No,
7:38
that's all it said. I
7:40
think someone might have a bomb on your
7:42
sunrise cruise ship. That's all it takes right there.
7:44
Put a girl on. Put a girl on.
7:46
Put bomb on. Put
7:50
a bomb on. So
7:52
upon receiving that email, the
7:55
cruise ship alerted authorities and diverted
7:57
off course to the nearest port.
7:59
Of course, they didn't make it
8:01
to Jamaica. What
8:03
followed was a
8:05
search of over 1000
8:07
rooms. On
8:09
that cruise ship, probably with
8:12
the canine. Yeah. Yeah, they
8:14
had to evacuate everyone Search
8:16
over 1 ,000 rooms and guess
8:18
what? No bomb. They found
8:21
a bomb No, they didn't
8:23
find a bomb. Oh No,
8:25
they didn't find a bomb
8:27
live saved Yeah, shortly after
8:29
that the FBI got involved
8:32
and they began investigating to
8:34
see who sent that email
8:36
FBI agents tracked the
8:38
email address back
8:40
to an IP address
8:42
that IP address
8:44
pinged off of Joshua's
8:46
girlfriend's family's home
8:49
and Who was the
8:51
only person there? When
8:53
that email was sent
8:55
the pets the pets and
8:57
Joshua. Oh, yeah So
8:59
Joshua Lowe was then arrested by
9:01
the FBI and for over the
9:04
past year he has been waiting
9:06
for his court date. Finally,
9:10
last month in April of 2025,
9:13
Joshua appeared in court where he
9:15
admitted to sending the email
9:17
because he was upset that the
9:19
family went on the cruise
9:21
while leaving him behind to care
9:23
for the pets. Of
9:26
course, he was found guilty
9:28
for making the false bomb
9:30
threat and on Monday, April
9:32
14th, 2025, Joshua
9:34
Lowe was sentenced
9:36
to... Two years. Nope.
9:39
Try again. Five. Nope. More?
9:42
Less. Months.
9:46
Seven months. Eight months. Eight
9:48
months in prison. But he spent like a year
9:50
and they're waiting for this. So I'm pretty sure they'll
9:53
give him time credited. Or he might
9:55
have got bail, I don't know. Maybe. But
9:57
he could have gotten up to five
9:59
years, but they kind of... him
10:01
a little slack for having a
10:04
good track record and told him, hey,
10:06
you only got to do eight
10:08
months in prison for calling in a
10:10
terrorist bomb threat. Judge probably felt
10:12
bad that, damn, you live
10:14
with them and they made you stay there
10:16
and watch their pets. Yeah. So
10:19
that right there is our first
10:21
strange news article called Pet Bomb. And
10:24
to be completely honest, this
10:26
is probably the least. Disturbing
10:29
article that I have
10:31
by far. The next two
10:33
articles are incredibly disturbing
10:35
that I have. I
10:37
know you know what one of them is,
10:39
and that is there's another one after that that's
10:41
just as bad. I think I
10:44
know what that one is, too. Hmm.
10:46
Maybe. All right. Let's
10:48
see. Which one do I go with then?
10:51
S racing, say 10. Wait,
10:53
what? S racing. S racing.
10:55
I thought you said ass racing. No,
10:58
it's worse than that. Uh,
11:01
yeah, satanic flight or
11:03
death flight. So
11:05
yes, two of them involve planes. One
11:07
of them involves racing. Okay,
11:09
why don't you do one of the flights and
11:11
then do the racing and then do another
11:13
flight? All right, we'll go with satanic flight then.
11:15
Ooh, I love me some satanic stuff. Feel
11:18
sweet. Just
11:20
kidding. Okay. I got
11:22
a cross on my face. I don't know what
11:24
side. I got a cross on my arm. I
11:26
got a cross on my stomach. Everybody's
11:29
like, you support Satan because your
11:31
supercast memberships are six dollars and
11:33
66 cents. No, it's
11:35
just like a little pun. a pun
11:37
for the podcast. Geez, so
11:39
sensitive. Jesus Christ was our Lord and Savior.
11:41
Everyone knows that. Put a joke on it. Put
11:43
a joke on God. So my
11:45
first strange news article I
11:47
have is about a crazy flight
11:49
from Georgia or Atlanta, Georgia
11:51
to Miami, Florida. Now.
11:54
This was just a normal flight
11:56
to Miami back in March on
11:58
the 10th night of the 10th.
12:00
So pretty much last month. Now,
12:03
during this flight, there was a
12:05
31 year old male passenger who
12:07
ended up becoming violent, attacking
12:10
a flight attendant, damaging another
12:12
passenger seat, and then decided
12:14
to swallow a couple of
12:16
things that you normally wouldn't
12:18
eat. And then afterwards
12:20
got arrested. Now.
12:23
To go into it this incident
12:25
occurred on the envoy air
12:27
flight part of American Airlines Which
12:30
only had 18 passengers on
12:32
board this flight, which I think
12:34
that's pretty rare. Yeah, that
12:36
is Now the pilots the flight
12:38
attendants They were already taken
12:40
off. They were all up in
12:42
the sky flying But they
12:45
all became concerned right after takeoff
12:47
when they noticed a male
12:49
passenger displaying unusual behavior He was
12:51
dick out didn't he no
12:53
Oh, he was like stomping around,
12:55
incoherent yelling and shaking. Some
12:58
thought he was having a seizure. OK,
13:00
shaking. Maybe he was probably whipping one out.
13:03
Well, no, it sounds familiar. Shaking,
13:05
stomping around. It was a yelling. Yes.
13:08
Oh, shaking, yelling, stomping around. It
13:10
does sound familiar. Does. Now,
13:12
as a flight attendant approached this man to see
13:14
if he was OK, that is
13:17
when I came to say there's a straight
13:19
face. When
13:21
the flight attendant approached the man to
13:23
see if he was okay That is
13:25
when the man the passenger decided to
13:27
Spartan kick this attendant in the chest
13:29
sending them flying into a window across
13:31
the aisle. God damn The man then
13:33
began punching and kicking the seat in
13:35
front of him eventually causing it to
13:37
collapse, which if we don't seat up
13:39
We know those seats are really hard
13:41
to fucking move. Mm -hmm, especially if you
13:43
wanted to just recline back But yeah,
13:45
he beat the shit out of it
13:47
cause it to go forward Now
13:50
the pilots decided to turn the
13:52
flight back around to Georgia. And
13:54
then that's when the man tried to attack
13:56
another attendant that was opening the door to
13:58
let authorities in when once they landed. They
14:01
subdued the man and took him to the local
14:04
hospital where they were just like, all right, this
14:06
man is crazy. What the hell's wrong
14:08
with them? Have him checked out. Well,
14:10
they decided to do like the
14:13
whole shebang where they I guess
14:15
CT scan X ray on his
14:17
body and all that. And
14:20
that's when they found a shit
14:22
ton of rosary beads in his stomach.
14:25
Whoa. Come to
14:27
find out. This man, this 31
14:29
year old man was traveling with his
14:31
sister. They were
14:34
traveling to Haiti. This
14:37
wasn't just like a normal vacation, though.
14:39
They were traveling to Haiti in an
14:41
attempt to flee religious attacks of
14:43
a spiritual nature. So
14:47
obviously he believed demons or something
14:49
were chasing him. And the only way
14:51
to get free of this would
14:53
go to Haiti and find someone to
14:55
kind of clear cleanse them. Now,
14:58
before the man's outburst and attack, he
15:00
had whispered to his sister. Watch
15:03
this. He
15:05
told her to close her eyes
15:07
and pray because Satan's disciples had
15:09
followed them onto the plane. Oh,
15:11
God. And that is
15:13
when the sister said that her brother had decided
15:15
to swallow the rosary beads that he was carrying with
15:17
them. because he believed
15:20
that if he swallowed these rosary
15:22
beads, they would each one
15:24
would give him strength to fight these
15:26
evil beings. Give him strength. That's for sure.
15:28
I mean, Spartan kicked the shit out
15:30
of this one attendant. So yeah, and then
15:32
beat up that chair. Yeah. And
15:34
I mean, he said, so these rosary
15:36
beads were a strength against the well,
15:38
strength to help them in the spiritual
15:41
warfare. So he did that. So
15:43
yeah, he swallowed these rosary
15:45
beads saying that these would give
15:47
him strength. This spiritual warfare
15:49
and then that's when like he
15:51
went all fucking berserk doing
15:53
all that shit So I'm just
15:55
like you know, that's pretty
15:57
crazy But when I started searching
16:00
up this article I Found
16:02
something else There was another incident
16:04
just like this two years
16:06
prior with him. No with another
16:08
person doing almost the same
16:10
exact shit going to Haiti I
16:12
Think they were traveling to
16:14
somewhere else They
16:16
were traveling to from
16:18
Mexico City to Los
16:20
Angeles. This happened March
16:22
12th, 2023. So
16:25
this one was March 10th,
16:27
2025. This one was March 12th,
16:29
2023. So early March is
16:31
when demons attack you. Yeah. So you have
16:33
to make sure you swallow rosary beads
16:35
and power up. Now,
16:37
the report on this
16:39
one said disruptive behavior, a
16:42
female passenger became unruly during
16:44
the flight. Reportedly kicking a flight
16:46
attendant, this led the
16:48
crew and passenger intervention to restrain her. After
16:50
being restrained, the passenger swallowed a
16:52
set of rosary beads. The
16:55
motive remains unclear, though speculation includes
16:57
panic and attempt to conceal items or
16:59
a mental health episode. Swallowing
17:01
non -edible items like rosary beads
17:03
poses serious health risks, including choking
17:05
or internal injury. The
17:07
flight was diverted to Monterey, Mexico,
17:10
where the passenger was handed over to
17:12
authorities. And she received medical attention
17:14
for the ingested beads. I
17:16
know people stick beads somewhere else,
17:18
but I know they don't swallow them.
17:20
Yeah, I never heard of someone
17:22
swallowing them, but to have two incidences
17:24
like this and almost the exact
17:26
same way. I mean, it's kind
17:28
of weird. They weren't going. One was going to Haiti. One
17:31
was going to Los Angeles. So
17:33
that is very odd. And the
17:35
fact that it was like almost two
17:37
years apart. Exactly. Hmm
17:39
better watch out on them flights crazy
17:41
shit happens. You could get locked in
17:43
the the bathroom Locked in a bathroom
17:45
or you get Spartan kicked by a
17:48
guy eating rosary beads powering up. I
17:51
Wonder if he just like Started
17:53
eating those rosary beads and then
17:55
went fucking super saying That's what
17:57
him stomping around is that they
17:59
were saying And then like the
18:01
lady your male attendant comes up
18:03
and Spartan kicks. Wow Well, thank
18:05
you for that strange news article
18:07
You're welcome. And I don't know.
18:09
I find that one very interesting
18:11
for the fact there was another
18:13
incident just like it. And the
18:15
fact that he believed that he
18:17
was being chased. Hmm.
18:19
Yeah. And the sister didn't do anything.
18:21
She just like let it all happen. Well,
18:24
my next news article
18:26
is about transportation, but not
18:29
on an airplane, but
18:31
on a train. Okay.
18:34
So this strange news article
18:36
is titled train corpse. That's
18:39
what mine was Yeah, and
18:41
just a heads up this strange
18:43
news article is very disturbing

20:00
it's a very hard story to wrap your
20:02
head around because you kind of don't want
20:04
to believe it when you hear it, but
20:06
it truly happened. And it's very shocking. So
20:09
here's what we know so far
20:11
that happened. Last week
20:13
on the early morning
20:16
of Wednesday, April 9th, 2025
20:18
at around 12 30
20:20
a .m. an MTA conductor
20:22
discovered the body of a
20:24
man face down on
20:27
an R train at the
20:29
White Hall Street Station
20:31
in Lower Manhattan, which by
20:33
the way, an MTA
20:35
means Metropolitan Transportation
20:37
Authority. This is
20:39
the public authority in New
20:42
York State that's responsible for public
20:44
transportation in the New York
20:46
City's metropolitan area. It's like the...
20:48
authority that controls the buses,
20:50
subways and commuter rails. OK. Yeah,
20:52
it's the largest public transit authority in
20:54
North America, by the way. New
20:57
York's is. Yeah. Yeah. All
20:59
right. So like I said, last
21:01
Wednesday, the MTA conductor in
21:03
New York discovered the body of
21:05
a man laying face down
21:07
on the train, which was on
21:09
the Whitehall Street Station in
21:11
Lower Manhattan. The
21:13
victim believed to be in
21:15
his forties. had boarded the
21:18
train hours earlier in Brooklyn
21:20
on the night of April
21:22
8, 2025. It was
21:24
around like 7 p .m. on
21:26
April 8, 2025, this 40 -ish -year -old
21:29
man boarded the train. Surveillance
21:31
footage shows him sitting down
21:33
on the train and lighting
21:35
a cigarette that someone gave
21:37
him around 8 p .m.
21:39
and he started smoking it,
21:41
which filled that part of
21:43
the train up with smoke. Other
21:47
passengers that were around him
21:49
ended up moving to different
21:51
cars on the train because
21:53
you know how they're different
21:55
sections They ended up moving
21:57
to a different section leaving
21:59
him completely alone in that
22:01
one section of the train
22:03
At some point after that
22:05
he quietly died No obvious
22:08
signs of trauma and no
22:10
drugs nearby Authorities still don't
22:12
know the cause of death
22:15
But here is where things
22:17
become very odd When police
22:19
reviewed the subways security cameras
22:21
After seeing him pass away
22:23
the 40 -ish year old man
22:25
They saw two separate strangers
22:27
approach the corpse hours later.
22:29
So this his corpse was
22:31
on the train for hours
22:33
The first person that approached
22:35
him was a man in
22:37
his 50s that stumbled onto
22:40
the train at 11 p
22:42
.m So at 8 p .m.
22:44
The 40 year old guy
22:46
got the cigarette from a
22:48
stranger started smoking everybody cleared
22:50
out and then he died
22:52
shortly after that two hours
22:54
later at 11 p .m
22:56
40 or a 50 year
22:58
old guy stumbles onto the
23:00
train Sees the man all
23:02
alone in his cart dead
23:04
He rifles through his pockets
23:06
really quick doesn't pull anything
23:09
out and Then begins to
23:11
sexually assault the man's body having
23:13
oral and anal sex
23:15
with the corpse. That
23:19
man, who did that to
23:22
the corpse, then stayed on
23:24
the train for over an
23:26
hour before leaving just after
23:28
midnight. Twenty
23:30
minutes later, another man
23:32
enters the same train
23:34
area, sees the
23:36
body, and then robs the
23:38
victim, going through his pockets and
23:41
everything and takes stuff out of his
23:43
Pockets and shirt and stuff some
23:45
in his By 12 30 a .m.
23:47
Is when the MTA conductor discovers the
23:49
dead body in the scene of
23:51
what's going on and Police are saying
23:53
that there's no indication that any
23:55
of these men these three men knew
23:58
each other You know the victim
24:00
didn't know those two men the two
24:02
men didn't know each other none
24:04
of them knew each other and investigators
24:06
are kind of like scrambling to
24:08
piece this together because they were like,
24:10
what the fuck? This is really
24:13
weird. So they
24:15
ended up releasing footage of both
24:17
suspects. The first
24:19
man is described to be
24:21
five foot nine around one hundred
24:23
and ninety five pounds with
24:25
a goatee and a LA Dodgers
24:27
cat on. They
24:30
initially thought they've identified him
24:32
as a guy from the Bronx,
24:35
but they went and arrested that guy and
24:37
they're like, oh, no, sorry, wrong guy. The
24:40
second robber remains a mystery.
24:42
They don't have much information about
24:44
him, but they did release
24:46
a photograph of him and Yeah,
24:48
just a Weird thing that
24:50
authorities are now urging anyone with
24:52
information to come forward stressing
24:55
that the small details could help
24:57
Capture what happened, you know
24:59
and captured these people that took
25:01
advantage of the corpse and
25:03
if we do have photographs that
25:05
we're gonna post up of
25:07
the first man who sexually assaulted
25:09
the corpse and tried to
25:11
rob it. And then the second
25:13
individual who robbed the corpse.
25:15
Oh, he robbed him of his
25:17
innocence. This is the first
25:19
individual. We got two photographs of
25:21
him. With wearing the
25:23
LA Dodgers hat and the yellow
25:25
hoodie with a black jacket. You
25:28
can see he's got a dark
25:30
goatee. And
25:32
then you ready for the
25:35
second person? I'm not
25:37
even sure if the second person's a man. Sorry.
25:41
No, it's not funny. That
25:44
doesn't look like a man. I
25:48
couldn't tell you that
25:50
those are boobs. That's
25:52
titties. If
25:54
it's not a woman, that's some man
25:56
titties. But that looks like a female.
25:59
Does it not? It's
26:02
hard to tell nowadays, you know, it could
26:04
be a thing then. I don't want to assume.
26:07
I mean, it's 5050, really. Yeah. Because I
26:09
mean, their their face is pretty covered
26:11
up on so you can't really go by
26:13
too much on their facial features. There's
26:16
only so much you can go by. Yeah.
26:18
But there you go. That
26:20
right there is my second
26:23
strange news article. And
26:25
if you have any tips,
26:27
call 1 -800 -577 -8477. It's in
26:29
New York Police Department Crime
26:31
Stoppers. I gotta say,
26:33
I'm not too thrilled about ever going to
26:35
New York and writing their subway. You
26:39
either get put in chokehold, you
26:41
either get burned alive or you
26:43
get robbed and robbed. Taking advantage
26:45
of. Yeah. Doesn't
26:47
sound too appealing. And it's always like
26:49
something in the subway. My question is, okay,
26:52
it's between like 11 to
26:54
midnight. How many people
26:57
came onto that train and walked
26:59
off? Yeah. And how many individuals
27:01
saw the assault going on and
27:03
didn't say anything. Is that a
27:05
common occurrence in New York on
27:07
the train? A subway? Is people
27:10
fucking? Is that common? Because I don't
27:12
know. If you are
27:14
a loved one, go
27:16
on the New York
27:18
subway and you have
27:20
seen individuals coid -using
27:22
on it, aka
27:25
fucking, please comment down below. Or
27:27
if you just seen some crazy shit on
27:29
the subway because obviously all kinds of shit
27:31
happens on the New York subway. Yeah, maybe
27:33
we should do it on the scene. No,
27:36
I'm good. But
27:38
that right there is my second news
27:40
article. I hope you enjoyed it. And I
27:42
hope those individuals are found and justice
27:44
is brought upon them. Right. That that's just
27:46
disturbing to. Yeah, it's fucked up, especially
27:48
on the second guy. I mean, the first
27:50
one, the shit he did, that's terrible.
27:52
But I mean, like the second one coming
27:55
on there and be like. Oh,
27:57
there's a dead person. Let me rob them. Let me
27:59
just rob them. Yeah,
28:01
soulless. All right.
28:03
So to continue on with strange news,
28:05
I'm not going to go with my
28:07
other flight. So I'll save that one.
28:09
I'll go with S racing. Now,
28:12
Aaron S racing as in
28:14
the letter S, not S
28:16
racing. Correct. you
28:19
know what type of racing this is? S
28:21
racing. Let me try
28:23
and guess S racing.
28:26
Snake racing. Uh,
28:28
hold on, I get like three guesses. Snake
28:31
racing. No. Does
28:33
it involve an animal? Technically,
28:36
kind of. Sexual racing.
28:40
Getting close. Ooh. Sadomasochism
28:43
racing. Nope. I
28:45
don't know. Sperm racing. What
28:47
the fuck? What? Sperm
28:49
racing. Okay. All
28:52
right. So this
28:54
news article is about what
28:56
millionaires are deciding to host
28:58
this year and They are
29:00
hosting the world's first sperm
29:02
race at the iconic venue
29:04
of Hollywood Palladium on April
29:06
25th of this year. Sorry
29:08
past Wait, April 25th What
29:10
is today you had me
29:12
like hold on wait, that's
29:14
nine days away. It is
29:16
I'm watching it I'm gonna
29:18
I'm gonna attend it. I'm
29:20
gonna I'm gonna you could
29:22
probably I'm gonna go blow my
29:24
load. So this event is
29:26
being organized by sperm racing,
29:29
which that is the group's name.
29:31
They are a group of
29:33
young millionaires who together had raised
29:35
over a million dollars to
29:37
help with what is being called
29:39
the Kentucky Derby of creative
29:41
juices. Now,
29:44
I know it sounds weird, but they're
29:47
doing this for a good cause. The
29:49
purpose of this. though is to help
29:51
bring to light the decline in male
29:53
fertility, which no one talks about. There's
29:55
a huge decline in it. Male
29:58
fertility has declined a
30:00
lot since 1973, compared to
30:02
the latest, uh, I
30:04
guess, test data of
30:07
2018, when they started looking
30:09
into this sperm racing, I
30:11
guess. There is a
30:13
chart, which I will post up here.
30:15
This reminded me of something that I
30:17
researched earlier this week that I'm going
30:19
to talk about in bonus episodes. So
30:22
fragile fertility, average
30:24
sperm count of men
30:26
worldwide in 1973 million sperm
30:28
per milliliter of semen
30:31
was 101 2018 49. So
30:33
it had dropped about
30:35
51%. So all that stuff
30:37
they're putting in the
30:39
water, turning the frogs gay.
30:42
But yeah, 51 % drop in sperm
30:44
count in men. And
30:46
then they go, they talk
30:48
about the, it's not just the
30:50
count, but also the sperm motility,
30:53
which I thought they meant mobility,
30:56
but I guess motility is the word they're
30:58
using, which is AKA how fast your sperm
31:00
moves, which is a big factor in fertility
31:03
as well. If they don't make it all
31:05
the way to the egg, nothing
31:07
happens. And
31:09
since no one really likes talking about the decline
31:11
in male fertility or just semen or sperm in
31:13
general. This is what
31:15
they're doing to bring light
31:17
to it sperm racing They're
31:19
like motto is turning health
31:21
into a sport Okay, they
31:23
are building the first -ever
31:25
race track for sperm where
31:28
they will have two competitors
31:30
two samples one microscopic finish
31:32
line They describe how this
31:34
race will work and no,
31:36
they're not gonna have someone
31:38
rub it out in public
31:40
what happened dang they're taking
31:42
samples beforehand, but Obviously, they
31:44
will have those people there. You
31:46
know, like, this is my sample. You ready
31:48
to bust? I'm about to
31:50
bust. Now, they say
31:53
the race works like this. We've
31:55
designed a microscopic racetrack that mimics
31:57
the reproductive system. Chemical signals,
31:59
fluid dynamics and synchronized starts.
32:02
High resolution cameras track every
32:04
microscopic move. It's all
32:06
live streamed, complete with stats,
32:09
leaderboards and instant replays.
32:11
Cool. The winner, the sperm that
32:13
crosses the finish line first, of course,
32:15
verified by advanced imaging. The stakes
32:17
have never been smaller or bigger. That's
32:19
what they say. So
32:21
obviously they're going to have
32:23
these high -resolution cameras with microscopic
32:26
lenses filming the little spermies
32:28
going down this fake reproductive
32:30
track to, I guess, an
32:32
egg or something. And
32:35
they're going to make sure they have, like, the finish
32:37
line photo to see who does it. Where's this being
32:39
held at again? at the
32:41
Hollywood Palladium
32:43
in California. Can
32:46
anyone sign up? I'm not
32:48
sure. But if you want to,
32:50
I think it's like spermracing .org
32:52
or .com. They have
32:54
their site. Spermracing.com.
32:58
Secure your spots. LA race tickets
33:00
out now. Secure your spot. How
33:03
much are the tickets? Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster.
33:05
They're selling it on Ticketmaster. Is
33:07
that to the event or to
33:09
actually like a compete? I think
33:12
this is just to the event
33:14
twenty bucks a ticket VIP balcony
33:16
standing twenty five hundred a ticket
33:18
general admission fifty dollars UCLA if
33:20
you go to UCLA twenty bucks
33:22
and the balcony VIP is twenty
33:24
five hundred bucks. Me
33:26
not bad pricing. Do
33:28
you see the elite collegiate athletes
33:30
compete in the ultimate battle of
33:32
fertility? So it's those just
33:34
only those two. It's those
33:36
two for now. But they're
33:38
planning on having it. Building
33:41
like a market around this to where fans
33:43
can pick their favorite competitors. That
33:46
could be athletes, celebrities,
33:49
whoever they want to be able to do this.
33:51
So yes, if this gets big.
33:54
Maybe Aaron you could I would love to
33:56
be a part of it You could be
33:58
part of this theories of the third kinds
34:00
Aaron come to blow his load to T3k
34:02
number one I'd create a jersey and everything
34:04
in Jersey was hell. Yeah, we'll have a
34:06
team Jersey and all that But yeah, they
34:08
are it's not just like it's not all
34:10
about just like the racing and the betting
34:13
I'm pretty sure there's only betting obviously But
34:15
it's to raise awareness is to raise awareness
34:17
and talk about turning health into a competition
34:19
and making male fertility something you could talk
34:21
about And not be uncomfortable. Like, hey,
34:23
do you watch the latest, you know, sperm
34:25
race? Hey, have you checked your testicles and
34:27
made sure they're good? Yeah. Have you got
34:29
doctor? You know, I mean, I
34:31
honestly could see that because who really comes
34:33
around like talk about certain like sperm and
34:35
like, oh, my fertility is low and all
34:38
that stuff. No one wants to talk about
34:40
that stuff. But then
34:42
you bring sperm racing in there. Did
34:44
you see how much that guy how
34:46
much load he had? Jesus Christ. He
34:48
must have a heavy sack. Right. He
34:50
must have been saving up for years.
34:52
Jesus, I don't know. I don't
34:54
know. I still don't know how you go about that conversation. But
34:57
yeah, it's a weird topic to
34:59
talk about. And they say that you
35:01
can actually train. Like
35:04
build your body, become healthier, which
35:06
will make your sperm healthier and all
35:08
that. So they travel faster and more
35:10
of it. So that's the
35:12
reason why they want to, you know, bring it
35:14
more to light. But
35:16
yeah. I
35:19
found that news hard on I couldn't stop
35:21
laughing when I was reading it. And the
35:23
fact that they have multiple sites, their Instagram
35:25
posts are hilarious. I
35:27
mean, obviously you can win money.
35:29
Here's their Instagram post sperm racing and
35:31
start up launching the world's first
35:34
live sperm race. Ways raises one million.
35:37
But obviously you can
35:39
win money. Yeah. So

No judgments, but that's
37:46
weird. Okay, one judgment.
37:48
Anyway, give it a
37:50
try at mintmobile.com, out
37:57
of Missouri. So
38:00
there's the 70 year
38:02
old foster woman from
38:04
a tiny town called
38:06
Winfield, which is like
38:08
70ish, maybe a little
38:10
less miles north west
38:13
of St. Louis, Missouri.
38:15
Okay. Now the 70 year
38:18
old foster woman, foster mom
38:20
has been a, I take the title
38:22
of mom away from her, take it
38:24
away from her. She's just a woman.
38:27
Anyway, she's been arrested
38:29
and charged with child
38:31
abuse and endangerment Authorities
38:33
are looking into whether
38:35
she traded one of
38:37
her adopted daughters to
38:39
someone in Texas for
38:41
a monkey Traded her
38:43
daughter for a monkey
38:46
Yeah, that what is
38:48
she being charged with
38:50
who child abuse and
38:52
endangerment Wouldn't that be
38:54
considered child trafficking? Yes, but she didn't
38:56
get that charge, but she is sitting
38:58
in jail right now on a $250
39:00
,000 bond and her next court date
39:02
is coming up soon. Now
39:05
the town she's from,
39:07
Winfield, Missouri, has around
39:09
1 ,500 people total. It's
39:11
way out in the middle of nowhere, about
39:13
an hour northwest of St. Louis. And
39:16
over the past 15
39:19
years, this woman
39:21
has been a
39:23
foster or adoptive parent
39:25
to around 200
39:27
kids. From 15 years,
39:29
you said 15 years
39:31
over 200 kids. According
39:34
to the prosecutor from Lincoln County,
39:36
which is that county that they're in,
39:39
some of these kids
39:41
allegedly went through serious
39:44
abuse. Now, the
39:46
whole thing started back in
39:48
February of this year.
39:50
When a school resource officer
39:52
noted that one of
39:54
the girls that was living
39:56
with that woman Was
39:58
skipping class When they begin
40:01
to dig deeper into
40:03
why this was happening They
40:05
heard about a rumor
40:07
that was circulating around the
40:09
school This rumor was
40:11
that that girl had been
40:13
shipped off to Texas
40:15
and traded for an exotic
40:18
animal That's what
40:20
the rumor was going around at the
40:22
school and the resource officer heard
40:24
about it and was like what the
40:26
fuck? Some of her friends were
40:28
there at the school and they were
40:30
keeping tabs on her and talking
40:32
to her and she was communicating with
40:34
them I'm being shipped off to
40:36
Texas and traded for a fucking monkey.
40:38
I don't have no control over
40:40
this and Then those girls started talking
40:42
and that rumor started to spread
40:44
like hey what happened to her Yeah,
40:47
so Texas child welfare folks
40:49
ended up hearing about this and
40:51
they actually found her the girl
40:53
and put her in a group
40:55
home. So she was in Missouri
40:57
and she really was shipped off
40:59
to Texas. She's
41:01
apparently doing OK now, but
41:03
she told authorities that her
41:05
adoptive mom, the 70 year
41:07
old who's had over 200
41:09
kids, beat her with stuff
41:11
like wooden trim, shoes and
41:13
a paddle. She tried
41:16
to tell people of
41:18
this abuse, but nobody believed
41:20
her. Now the woman
41:22
in Texas that she was
41:24
shipped off to both
41:26
her and the foster mom
41:28
are into exotic animals. Two
41:31
witnesses came forward saying that
41:33
they were asked by the foster
41:35
mom to drive the girl
41:37
to Texas from Missouri to Texas
41:40
and bring back a monkey
41:42
that's going to be given to
41:44
them for the girl. One
41:46
of the prosecutors came forward and
41:48
made a statement and said
41:51
look there's some smoke here. We
41:53
got to figure out if
41:55
there's fire We're treating this like
41:57
a possible human trafficking case
41:59
because well trading a kid for
42:01
monkey. That's human trafficking Yeah,
42:04
now the girl described living in
42:06
filthy conditions in Texas whenever
42:08
she arrived there. She was left
42:10
alone for days to take
42:12
care of exotic animals The
42:15
foster mom claims that she
42:17
just sent the girl there to
42:19
quote -unquote take a break But
42:21
when Texas authorities showed up
42:24
the Texas woman the woman that
42:26
was living there basically said
42:28
I don't know how she got
42:30
here I don't want her
42:32
here anymore. She's not supposed to
42:34
be here Yeah Jesus meanwhile
42:36
as people in Missouri were Investigating
42:38
the foster mom. What was
42:41
uncovered is that over the past
42:43
15 years? The
42:45
child abuse hotline has
42:47
had over 250 calls
42:49
specifically about that foster
42:51
mom Abusing kids and
42:53
they didn't do a
42:55
damn thing. No criminal
42:58
reports wherever were written
43:00
up from any of
43:02
those calls Even get
43:04
this even last November
43:06
November of 2024 the
43:08
Missouri Department Social Services
43:10
the children's division received
43:12
a tip that there
43:15
was a girl there
43:17
being abused by that
43:19
foster mother. And they
43:21
did nothing. They
43:23
didn't even go and investigate it or
43:25
do a visit. They did
43:27
nothing. And
43:29
the news station, of course,
43:31
asked the Missouri Department of
43:33
Social Services, hey, you
43:35
got this tip last year in November. Why
43:37
didn't you do anything? You
43:39
know what they said? Nothing.
43:42
They didn't say anything. They are
43:44
staying tight -lipped and the only
43:46
thing they say, we're
43:48
just, it's all confidential. We're
43:50
not going to comment on anything, but
43:52
we do want to tell folks to
43:54
call their hotline if they suspect abuse.
43:57
That's what they fucking said. It's
43:59
like they called your hotline and nothing
44:01
fucking happened. I want to
44:03
be surprised they come out and be like,
44:05
we were working with authorities to try to
44:07
narrow down the human trafficking thing. And this
44:09
was just part of it. And we succeeded
44:11
in stopping. Any more kids from
44:13
being shipped to Texas sounds like
44:15
they just didn't give a fuck. They
44:17
just don't give a fuck Yeah,
44:19
so yeah, you got monkeys trafficking rumors
44:21
200 kids over 15 years being
44:23
abused and a whole lot of questions
44:25
how all of this happened and
44:27
The state services did not catch any
44:29
of it when it was all
44:31
being reported That's insane what it took
44:33
was a girl contacting her friends
44:36
and a rumor starting at a school
44:38
and a resource officer looking into
44:40
that rumor it almost makes you think
44:42
or wonder if
44:44
someone has social services is connected
44:46
to that lady. And
44:48
getting money for exotic animals, getting money
44:50
for kids for her to be able
44:52
to ship down there to get exotic
44:55
animals. You know, as crazy as
44:57
that sounds, it's not that
44:59
crazy. It's happened before with judges. Oh,
45:01
yeah. Judges juvenile homes. Yeah. And
45:03
they'll get kickbacks for sending them
45:05
to juvenile homes or prisons and
45:07
stuff like that. Yep. It's called
45:09
cash for kids. It's fucked up.
45:11
It happened not too long ago.
45:14
So that's all a couple like
45:16
shows on it doing it I
45:18
mean it happens and it's fucked
45:20
up and honestly this sounds like
45:23
that because 200 kids 200 plus
45:25
kids in 15 years and having
45:27
over 250 Reports on just this
45:29
lady alone, and they didn't do
45:31
nothing. Mm -hmm Something's corrupt there. Yeah,
45:33
put me in the room with
45:36
the 70 year old bitch for
45:38
30 seconds See
45:42
the sperm racing go She's gonna
45:44
experience it first hand pow pow
45:46
train corpse gonna have nothing on
45:48
her No, I'm just joking this
45:50
joke justice will do its course.
45:52
Hopefully hopefully The afterlife it will
45:54
that's that's crazy that Lady and
45:56
Texas is like, I don't know
45:59
how she got here. I don't
46:01
want her here. No, it's like
46:03
damn bitch Yeah, you know she's
46:05
taken care of your exotic animals
46:07
and you ship the monkey back
46:09
up there. Oh Yeah.
46:11
But anyways, that right there was my
46:13
last strange news article. I hope you all
46:15
enjoyed it. Oh, man,
46:17
social services. That's like something we got
46:19
to look into. Yeah. I
46:22
had a family member who worked for social services
46:25
in the state of Texas. And
46:27
that individual was saying how
46:29
they lacked a massive amount
46:31
of resources from the state.
46:33
They didn't have anywhere. They
46:36
were getting kids dropped off like
46:38
babies. Kids dropped off to
46:40
them. And This individual had to
46:42
turn their office into like a place
46:44
for the kids to sleep. They
46:46
would put down mattresses and blankets in
46:48
their office and allow the kids
46:51
to sleep there because they had nowhere
46:53
like no homes or nowhere to
46:55
put them because the state wasn't helping.
46:58
I could understand that. It sucks. There's not
47:00
a lot of places for people to
47:02
be taken care of like that. And then
47:04
especially like orphans. Then you got these
47:06
billionaires written out of all the fucking house
47:08
or buying the houses and then rent
47:10
them out as Airbnb's. And then you got
47:12
all these other homes that are like
47:14
fucking being bought up by large corporations on
47:16
the land being bought up. And then
47:19
you got eggs that are like $12 a
47:21
fucking dozen. And the news
47:23
is worried about Katy Perry flying up
47:25
in a fucking spaceship. Who gives a
47:27
shit? Women are in space.
47:29
Oh, empowerment. Cool. You know,
47:31
I'm fucking dying over here. I don't give
47:33
a shit. My life's in shambles. Obviously, we know
47:35
it's all theatrics there for that one. Have
47:37
you seen that video? We're opening the
47:39
door and opening the door. The door opened
47:41
up before and they hurt up and shut it.
47:44
And then Jeff Bezos went and put on
47:46
an act that he opened it up. You
47:48
see that damn thing fly open like it was
47:50
made of plastic. And the ladies just like
47:52
close it like and then like supposedly the news
47:54
media covered that one up saying, oh, like
47:56
it was glitching our system. It's back up now.
47:58
But we lost audio inside. We don't know
48:00
what's being said. They were
48:02
getting yelled at like, you're not supposed to
48:04
open the door. Don't open the door. And
48:06
then Jeff Bezos pretending to unlock it with
48:09
the key thing. Yeah, it's so dumb. Supposedly
48:11
there was a video like a drone video
48:13
footage of Bezos like walking around it. Around
48:15
those capsule and he trips
48:18
and falls. So that
48:20
video is out there. Nice. So,
48:22
yeah. Yeah, that's out there. Yeah,
48:24
they came they came out of that
48:26
capsule without wearing any type of airtight
48:28
suit, no helmets, no protective gloves, no
48:30
protective boots. That's because they didn't really
48:32
go to space. Hmm.
48:34
They went to low orbit, which
48:36
is dumb. Yeah,
48:38
this rocket looked like a dildo. It
48:41
did. Anyway, but
48:43
yeah, it's it's a shame that they're calling them all astronauts
48:45
when they didn't go into space and all that. And then
48:47
you have all these people that actually train to be astronauts.
48:51
These celebrities just pay money going a little over and
48:53
then no, they're now an astronaut. We
48:55
ain't worried about that shit, you know, they
48:57
need to take care of their own citizens and
48:59
instead sending people into space. And then, of
49:01
course, Katy Perry coming down, kissing the ground like,
49:03
oh, it's so scary. Bitch, you were up
49:05
there for 11 minutes. I'm
49:08
sorry, 11 minutes and oh, I'm so
49:10
glad to be on the ground. Oh my
49:12
God. What about those guys stuck on
49:14
the fucking space station? I think they
49:16
were falling. I don't know. Have
49:19
they been picked up yet? I think
49:21
they have. they have. Yeah, I couldn't
49:23
look at look at her the same
49:25
after she dated Russell Brand and then
49:27
dated fucking what's his name? Riff Raff.
49:30
Oh gosh. Anyway. Yeah. All
49:32
right. So what is funny? What
49:34
is your last strange news article,
49:36
Dan? Well, my last one
49:38
is another flight. This
49:40
one is about a married
49:42
couple, Jennifer Collin and
49:44
Mitchell Ring. They were
49:47
flying from Melbourne, Australia to
49:49
Qatar. So about 10 hours
49:51
into that flight, a lady
49:53
had gone to the bathroom and came
49:55
back out. When she had
49:57
came back out, she ended
49:59
up collapsing onto the floor
50:01
in the middle of the
50:03
aisle and supposedly became unresponsive.
50:07
The flight attendants they all rushed did
50:09
what they're supposed to do try
50:11
to give her CPR Yelled around like
50:14
hey anybody a medical doctor can
50:16
help. No, obviously no one was Gonna
50:18
find out the lady died So
50:20
now that they're 10 hour into a
50:22
14 hour body That's what we're
50:24
about to get into. Oh god. So
50:27
this is bad as a train.
50:29
I hope No, not as bad as
50:31
a train. Okay. So this was
50:33
a 14 hour flight from Melbourne, Australia
50:35
to Qatar And this was only
50:37
10 hours into it. Obviously,
50:40
they couldn't just turn around or
50:42
and there wasn't really anywhere to
50:44
just kind of emergency land. So
50:47
they continue to fight. Her
50:50
body is going to go and rig a mortise. So what
50:52
they do is they would usually get
50:54
the body and they would take it
50:56
to part of the plane where like
50:58
no one's around and they'll set it
51:00
up. Set it up.
51:02
Come say hello to the dead body.
51:04
Literally, they know they would put it
51:06
into a chair, put a sheet over
51:08
it and buckle it in. Because
51:10
there's no there's no like no bed or anything
51:12
to lay it in. So that's what they have
51:14
to do. Now, they did put
51:17
her into a wheelchair and try to
51:19
get her to like first class area to
51:21
where it was like, I guess, like
51:23
a loan or an area that, you know,
51:25
she'd be alone, the body be alone. But
51:28
the wheelchair wouldn't go through the aisle. And
51:31
I'm guessing this wasn't a light lady. So
51:34
as they were stuck
51:36
there, the flight attendants
51:38
looked to their left and saw
51:40
a couple sitting in a row
51:42
that had, uh, what, three seats?
51:45
Four, three or four seats? Please
51:47
tell me they moved the couple. They're
51:50
like, Hey, uh, could 'all scoot over?
51:52
Oh my fucking God. Couple
51:54
just looked at them. Jennifer and
51:56
Mitchell. Okay. Scoot
51:58
them over. Now they had
52:00
a a rowmate They put
52:03
the dead body in the
52:05
seat beside Mitchell put a
52:07
sheet over and strapped her
52:09
in Mitchell and Jennifer just
52:11
like hey, there's open seats.
52:13
Can we move? Fight
52:16
attendance. No, you
52:18
can't Why? They
52:20
were gonna put the dead body there the
52:22
dead bodies there now he has to sit but
52:24
Mitchell has to sit right beside the dead
52:26
body. Mm -hmm. So the rest of the flight Mitchell
52:29
and Jennifer had to sit in the same row with this
52:31
dead body. Even though, obviously, I
52:33
hate to say it, there was one
52:35
seat open now, considering she's no longer
52:37
sitting in that seat. I hate
52:39
to say that, but there's obviously seats
52:41
open, but yet they did not relocate them
52:43
anywhere. They made them sit there because
52:45
that means that they would have to like
52:47
walk past the body. So
52:50
for four hours, they sat beside
52:52
this body wouldn't be moved or
52:54
nothing. And then afterwards, everyone
52:56
deported. Uh, is it deboarded or
52:58
they got off the plane? They
53:00
unboarded the plane. They got off
53:02
the plane except for Mitchell and
53:04
Jennifer. Because if they got off
53:07
the plane, they would touch the body, which they would
53:09
have to sit there and wait for the medical people
53:11
to come and get the body off the plane before
53:13
they could get off the plane. I
53:15
hope they got compensated. Funny
53:17
enough, no. They
53:19
didn't get compensated. They
53:21
didn't nothing. They didn't care. They didn't ask them
53:23
like, how are y 'all doing? Are you traumatized
53:25
by the What happened? I know you had
53:27
to sit beside the body. No, nothing. They
53:31
just acted like everything was normal. I'm
53:34
sorry, but if I had to sit beside a dead body
53:36
the whole time, you're going to compensate me for fucking something.
53:39
Yeah, if you don't move me, I'm going to start screaming bomb. Bomb
53:41
or I'm open at the fucking door and we're all going
53:44
out. We're going. OK,
53:47
I wouldn't go that far. All right. But still,
53:49
like, I mean, how uncomfortable
53:51
is that to be they were going
53:53
on vacation? And granted, they
53:55
had to sit beside a dead body for four hours.
53:57
Now, I'm not saying that no one else had to
53:59
do it. I mean, the flight attendants had to move
54:01
the body and then people sitting behind and the other
54:03
side. But this Mitchell was
54:05
sitting right beside the body. Fuck,
54:07
man. And obviously they don't know
54:09
what she died from. So it's like,
54:12
hey, let's keep somebody right beside her in case,
54:14
you know, maybe it's contagious. So
54:17
yeah, the only thing that the airliner
54:19
did, they called the family of the lady
54:21
that passed away and gave their condolences,
54:23
but. Mitchell and Jennifer. Nothing. They're
54:25
just like it is what it is. I
54:27
would have went to the news as well.
54:29
Oh, definitely. So, yeah, they had
54:31
to ride four hours beside a dead body.
54:34
Nothing. Nothing was given to him. Nothing
54:37
compensated. I'd get an attorney and sue
54:39
not not even like, are you okay or
54:41
anything like that? They literally just treated
54:43
them like they were nothing. That's
54:45
how airlines do nowadays, you
54:47
know, they fucking treat people horribly.
54:50
They don't give a shit about you.
54:52
All they give a shit about is
54:54
your money. Then honestly From what they
54:56
said the other than not moving Mitchell
54:58
and Jennifer the fighter tenders did what
55:00
they were supposed to do like correctly
55:02
It's just they shouldn't have put her
55:04
the body beside somebody like that Yeah,
55:06
and supposedly there's been deaths on planes
55:08
and stuff month like many of times
55:10
and if worse comes worse sticker ass
55:12
in the bathroom You got another bathroom
55:14
with the front stick in the back
55:16
of the bathroom. I mean it's going
55:19
across country So obviously there's gonna be
55:21
more than one bathroom. Yeah But
55:24
yeah, it's I Don't know.
55:26
I couldn't do that. Yeah,
55:28
neither could I Well, hopefully
55:30
they get compensated highly doubt
55:32
it but because it doesn't
55:34
seem like they're going to
55:36
even with all the news
55:38
on it and The airliners
55:40
just we contacted the family
55:42
of the deceased lady and
55:44
gave our condolences. What about
55:47
Mitchell and Jennifer? Man,
55:50
that piss that pissed me off. That
55:52
would piss me off tremendously. We're all going
55:54
down. We're all going down
55:56
together. You ain't you ain't moving this bitch
55:58
away from me. Well, I'm opening up the exit,
56:00
bro. Like, I'm not going to say
56:02
like she's stalking like that, but I don't know. I've never
56:04
been side of side of dead body like that. Don't
56:07
know what she died from or anything like that.
56:09
I mean, it's just that's insane to think. Like,
56:12
I hope I never have to be in a situation
56:14
like that, because honestly, I don't know how I would
56:16
act. I'm usually a
56:18
calm, quiet guy. Do something like that, you
56:20
might see a different side. Yeah. I
56:23
might be swallowing some fucking rosary beads and
56:25
fucking beating chairs and Spartan kicking. Just
56:28
saying. Well, hopefully you never have
56:30
that happen to you. But thank
56:32
you for that last strange news
56:34
article. I loved it. I
56:36
don't know. I stumbled upon these two flight ones and I'm just
56:38
like, damn. Well, thank you for
56:40
that. And do you want to go
56:42
into bonus ones? Because I got a
56:44
I got a short bonus. It's not
56:46
really a news article. It was something
56:48
that I. Looked up the other day. Yeah,
56:51
we can go into our bonus ones because
56:53
mean the one I have is a very short
56:55
one, but it's actually pretty crazy. So
56:57
is mine. I was
57:00
looking up. Actually, let me
57:02
backtrack. Let me set the scene. It's
57:04
like three a .m. And I'm unable to sleep
57:06
because I just woke up from a nightmare. He
57:09
just woke up from practicing to be in
57:11
the sperm racing. No, it was a nightmare.
57:13
I had this happen to me all the time.
57:15
I'll go to sleep usually like around 10 or
57:18
11. I'll have a nightmare and wake
57:20
up around like two or three and I won't be able
57:22
to go back to sleep till like four or five. Are
57:24
you taking melatonin before? Yes. You're
57:27
taking too much of it. I've
57:29
taken five milligrams. That's
57:31
the least amount of people who take
57:33
50. I think you take
57:35
either like one, two or three. But if
57:37
you take melatonin and you're having nightmares, it's
57:40
too much melatonin. That's what it means. I can't
57:42
take it. I mean, I can't take any less than
57:44
what I'm taking. And I know that's the same
57:46
with me. I'm taking five milligram. If I take anything
57:48
less, it doesn't do nothing. And then,
57:50
of course, you obviously heard my dream
57:52
that I had last night. Anyway,
57:55
so I'm laying there unable to
57:57
go back to sleep because I had
57:59
my nightmare. And
58:01
my mind's just wondering. And
58:03
then for some reason, I decided
58:05
to look up near -sightedness, you
58:07
know, where you're you are unable
58:09
to see far away. That's what
58:11
I was, but you see up
58:13
close. And it's what I
58:15
am as well. I can't see far away. And
58:17
then I wondered. How
58:19
did people survive back in
58:21
the day when they didn't
58:23
have classes, cavemen? And
58:26
I read some articles that like,
58:28
oh, well, those individuals weren't the
58:30
hunters. They were
58:32
they prepared food. There's
58:34
photographs or not photographs,
58:36
but cave paintings, cave
58:38
paintings and. writings that
58:40
talk about these elders that hold stuff
58:43
close to their face to read it
58:45
and to talk about it. And those
58:47
individuals, they believe needed glasses. So I'm
58:49
like, oh, OK, cool. That sounds to
58:51
me like farsighted that they don't know
58:53
that that close because when you're near
58:55
sighted, you don't have to hold it
58:58
that close. But I mean, so I
59:00
guess either way. Yeah.
59:02
So I learned that
59:04
the correct term
59:06
for nearsightedness is called
59:08
myopia and I
59:10
came across an interesting
59:12
chart about individuals
59:14
with myopia. And
59:17
in the year 2000, 22
59:19
% of the population
59:21
had myopia. By
59:25
2020, 33
59:28
% of the population
59:30
had myopia. So went
59:32
from 22 to 33. They
59:34
are projecting by the
59:37
year 2050. 52
59:40
% of the population
59:42
will have myopia by
59:44
2100. Everyone
59:46
will be nearsighted.
59:50
Computer screens, cell phone screens. That
59:52
is what they're claiming is because
59:54
I'm like, well, does it have
59:56
to do with the environment? Does
59:59
it have to do with like
1:00:01
genetics? It's they're saying it's a
1:00:03
cause of everything, your environment, genetics,
1:00:05
as well as. They're saying computer
1:00:07
screens and phones and then being
1:00:09
close to your face and a
1:00:12
lot of the kids and adults
1:00:14
having that it's degrading your vision
1:00:16
and your develop people are developing
1:00:18
myopia at incredible rates and no
1:00:20
one's talking about it and they're
1:00:22
saying That if you want to
1:00:25
if you're a young person and
1:00:27
you're looking at a fucking profession
1:00:29
become an eye doctor Yeah, because
1:00:31
they're gonna become very popular here
1:00:33
pretty soon Because people just keep
1:00:35
developing it. Yeah. So
1:00:37
I had, I guess, myopia. I
1:00:40
was near sighted. I got
1:00:42
tired of buying glasses. And what really
1:00:44
put me on to getting the Lasik
1:00:46
was I got tired of buying sunglasses
1:00:48
that were prescription as well, unless I
1:00:50
want to look like a dweeb and
1:00:52
buy those ones that go onto your
1:00:54
glasses and fold up or something like
1:00:57
that. I like those. I hated them
1:00:59
because. They
1:01:01
always made the glasses feel bulky and heavier. So
1:01:04
I got tired of buying prescription sunglasses. And
1:01:06
then, of course, if you buy it online
1:01:08
or something like that, you have the chance
1:01:10
that they fuck up, then you're screwed. Then
1:01:13
you have, of course, you buy them in person. They
1:01:15
end up putting the lenses in the wrong side or they
1:01:17
mess up, then you have to give it back. This
1:01:20
all happened to me. So I already know. So
1:01:22
I was just like, you know, if I
1:01:24
think about the outcome, like later on,
1:01:26
how much I pay in sunglasses and
1:01:28
glasses over the years, because my eyes
1:01:31
are just going to start like keep
1:01:33
degrading. I was like, if I
1:01:35
get this in the long run, it's
1:01:37
probably the same and I won't have to
1:01:39
worry about wearing anything anymore. Yeah.
1:01:42
It's worked out good for you. Worked out good. They did
1:01:44
say probably in a couple of years, I
1:01:46
will have to read, not read, but
1:01:48
wear reading glasses. And they're just like,
1:01:50
that's probably just with old age, though. I'm
1:01:52
like, bitch, I'm not that old. You're
1:01:54
old. You're almost 40. Congratulations. Yeah.
1:01:57
They just said, like, you'll probably have to
1:01:59
use reading glasses to help read and all that.
1:02:01
I was like, you know what? I don't
1:02:03
care. That's fine. Yeah. I just I just want
1:02:06
to be able to see far away and
1:02:08
be able to wear normal sunglasses because I'm tired
1:02:10
of buying all these ones and then You
1:02:12
come to find out like a year later your
1:02:14
eyes change again And now you have to
1:02:16
buy new ones and you can't buy lenses and
1:02:18
stuff for those glasses that you have because
1:02:20
now those frames Are out of style or they
1:02:22
don't make them no more So there's always
1:02:25
a new set coming out so you can't just
1:02:27
keep reason reusing stuff And that's where they
1:02:29
make all that damn money telling you become an
1:02:31
eye doctor if you're young Yeah.
1:02:34
Anyway, so that's my bonus story right
1:02:36
there. Not really a story, just kind of
1:02:38
like a thought bonus thought. I mean,
1:02:40
it's. I didn't know it
1:02:42
was called myopia, but then again, I didn't
1:02:44
know that it was like increasing that
1:02:46
much. And honestly, the more technology advances, it
1:02:48
seems the more. It's
1:02:51
happening. Mm hmm. What
1:02:53
you think? A lot of the
1:02:55
screens and computers and phones, they all come
1:02:57
with like the blue light filters on it,
1:02:59
which hurt your eyes. Yeah. Well. The blue
1:03:01
light hurts your eyes, the filter's supposed to
1:03:03
help. But have you tried using the
1:03:05
filter on the computer and stuff? Oh,
1:03:07
it's horrible. Oh,
1:03:10
you want to see? Well, I showed you
1:03:13
the glasses that I wore today. Yeah, the
1:03:15
yellow slash orange ones that helped
1:03:17
out with the blue light and
1:03:20
gave me HD high definition vision.
1:03:22
I guess they call it nighttime filter. Oh,
1:03:25
it's a nighttime filter on your laptop. Yeah,
1:03:28
that's to consider the blue filter. And
1:03:30
I'm guessing it makes your computer hard to
1:03:32
read. It changes,
1:03:34
like, the coloring of it. It
1:03:36
makes it to, like, more of
1:03:38
a warm color. So it looks
1:03:41
like orange -brown. And it's supposed to
1:03:43
help your eyes. It's supposed to help your eyes, but honestly, it
1:03:45
makes it hard to read. I think
1:03:47
it's easier on the phone. I
1:03:49
don't know where it is on the... Yeah, see
1:03:51
how it's, like, orange -ish? Nah,
1:03:53
I don't like that. Yeah,
1:03:55
that's terrible. Yeah. Like,
1:03:57
I do not like that. It does...
1:03:59
don't know how that helps at all.
1:04:02
Yeah. Well, I
1:04:04
guess we go on
1:04:07
to your bonus story. All
1:04:09
right. So. It's
1:04:11
called Cheeto called Cheeto. But
1:04:14
the real name is called Cheeto
1:04:16
Zard. OK, like Charizard.
1:04:18
I think I know this. Someone.
1:04:24
Back in 2018
1:04:26
to 2022. Had
1:04:29
found a three inch long flaming
1:04:31
hot Cheeto in the shape of the
1:04:34
Pokemon Charizard now saw the headline
1:04:36
for this I'm just like there's no
1:04:38
there's no way it looks just
1:04:40
like it and I went and I
1:04:42
looked at it and it looks
1:04:44
like a damn Charizard like the hunched
1:04:46
over and all that looks like
1:04:49
a damn Charizard which There's a photo
1:04:51
of it there It looks like
1:04:53
a Charizard mm -hmm, but that's not
1:04:55
the crazy part the crazy part is
1:04:57
they sold it they Put in
1:04:59
like a plastic container. They even made
1:05:01
like a Cheeto Zard Pokemon frame
1:05:04
for it and ended up going into
1:05:06
auction. It sold for
1:05:08
eighty seven thousand eight hundred forty dollars
1:05:10
for a Cheeto that looked like
1:05:12
Charizard. Who the fuck bought that? I
1:05:14
have no idea. But you know
1:05:16
what? It was, you know what? I
1:05:18
guarantee you. Who? Hold
1:05:20
on. Wasn't post Malone.
1:05:23
He only but he bought a magic gathering. One
1:05:26
ring to Frito lay. a
1:05:28
subsidiary of Pepsi Company. Frito
1:05:32
Lay makes Cheetos. Think they
1:05:34
bought it? What
1:05:36
a great marketing technique. If
1:05:38
you have an insider and you
1:05:41
give him, you say, oh, look, hey,
1:05:43
there's an auction going on about
1:05:45
a Cheeto that looks like Charizard. Let's
1:05:47
go get two of our individuals from
1:05:49
Frito Lay to go in there and bid
1:05:51
on it and run it up to
1:05:54
80 something thousand. Then all these news headlines
1:05:56
are going to pick up the news
1:05:58
that, oh, This Cheeto shaped like Charizard sold
1:06:00
for 80 ,000. What do people are? What
1:06:02
are people going to start doing now?
1:06:04
They're saying, oh, well, I want the chance
1:06:06
to get a Cheeto that's shaped uniquely
1:06:08
and sell it. They go buy Cheetos.
1:06:11
It's a fucking perfect marketing
1:06:13
technique. I mean, I do
1:06:15
agree. That is a perfect
1:06:17
marketing technique. From 2018
1:06:19
to 2022, it was kept
1:06:21
at the first and goal
1:06:23
collectibles place. And then I
1:06:26
guess they started posting online and
1:06:28
it gained popularity on social media in
1:06:30
the late 2024. And then
1:06:32
there were like 60 bids on the
1:06:34
uniquely shaped snack. According to listing, the
1:06:36
winning bid was 72 ,000 plus a
1:06:38
buyer's premium, which ended up being into
1:06:40
like 87 ,000 Asian 40. And
1:06:42
it was actually sold this past Sunday, I
1:06:45
believe, Frito lay in 2023,
1:06:47
Frito lays North America ad
1:06:49
spending. You
1:06:51
don't want to know how
1:06:53
much they spent on
1:06:55
ads Frida lay did in
1:06:57
North America in 2023
1:06:59
52 million More or less
1:07:01
a billions hundreds millions
1:07:04
hundred and sixty three million
1:07:06
so 80 something thousand
1:07:08
bucks For that viral marketing
1:07:10
is nothing to them.
1:07:12
They spend 80 ,000 bucks
1:07:14
and you have all of
1:07:16
these news agencies Picking
1:07:18
up this article and publishing it publishing
1:07:20
it publishing it and then everybody talks
1:07:22
about it And they're saying oh, I
1:07:24
want a chance to get a uniquely
1:07:26
shaped Cheeto Let me go buy a
1:07:28
bunch of Cheetos and it spikes the
1:07:30
cells of Cheetos fucking brilliant idea, you
1:07:32
know, it's like that time where people
1:07:34
were It was like the one guy
1:07:36
that made a slice of toast Jesus
1:07:38
and Jesus on it and the next
1:07:40
thing you know people are just like
1:07:42
oh, but here there's Jesus on this
1:07:45
I found this piece of wood and
1:07:47
look there's Jesus on it Jesus is
1:07:49
the bread. Jesus is the bread. But
1:07:51
yeah, it's just like that. And
1:07:53
now people, like you said, probably going
1:07:56
to buy Cheetos and try to
1:07:58
find all kinds of fucking Pokemon. But
1:08:00
still, the fact that this one
1:08:02
looks like a Charizard is pretty badass, though.
1:08:04
Yeah. When I have bought it for eighty seven
1:08:06
thousand. No. Yeah. When
1:08:08
I when I put it in the plastic case and have it in my room
1:08:10
somewhere, probably. Yeah.
1:08:13
They need it. Nice. Honestly,
1:08:16
I probably would have found it be like, oh, that's pretty cool.
1:08:18
And then just like bit the head off of it and then
1:08:20
continued on. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't think
1:08:22
anything of it. Then again, I can't remember the last
1:08:24
time I actually had Cheetos. It's been a long time
1:08:26
since I've had Cheetos. I like the taste
1:08:28
of Cheetos, except for the fact they get stuck in
1:08:30
my teeth so much. But yeah,
1:08:33
that's 87, almost 88
1:08:35
,000 for a Cheeto. No,
1:08:38
it's insane. Yeah. And I'm over here
1:08:40
struggling to survive just like everybody else. I'm
1:08:42
over here trying to sell my cards. I'm
1:08:45
over here trying to sell my sperm. If
1:08:47
you are a loved one or attending
1:08:49
the sperm racing or you have a cheeto
1:08:51
that's shaped very uniquely, please let us
1:08:53
know. We would love to hear from you.
1:08:55
That's right. But with that being
1:08:57
said, do you have any other things you
1:08:59
would like to add? Any other stories? Anything else
1:09:01
you would like to talk about before we
1:09:03
end this episode? No, I don't got
1:09:05
anything else. I don't have any more. Strange
1:09:09
news articles until 12 .5 saving
1:09:11
up some of them. But if
1:09:13
