but we've done a few. 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,840 And one of the ones that I really enjoyed doing was AI generated creepypastas. 33 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Now, you're familiar with creepypasta, right? 34 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,040 Yeah. 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,040 Yeah. 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Okay. 37 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040 They're fine. 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,240 A lot of them are really poorly written, and that's the charm of them. 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,980 It's like they're just so bad. 40 00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:05,280 They're all written by a hot topic teenager, you know? 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,920 Yeah, and AI does it just as good as a hot topic teenager. 42 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:17,040 So how this is going to work is I'm going to prompt ChadGBT to write me a creepypasta, 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,760 but you're going to fill in some key details of what the story's going to be about. 44 00:02:21,760 -->

97 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,840 Jachi BT. 98 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,840 Hey man. 99 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,760 I'm just stealing this from other, you know, creators off the internet. 100 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,880 So all right. 101 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,880 That's a fact. 102 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,080 I, I, fuck me too. 103 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,120 Do you know it's, so I didn't put in a setting for this. 104 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,280 Guess where it said it. 105 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,280 Where? 106 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,280 Oregon, the Pacific Northwest. 107 00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:31,280 All right. 108 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:32,280 You ready for this? 109 00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:33,280 Yup. 110 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,280 All right. 111 00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:42,120 It was the summer of 1983 and the small town of Windom nestled deep in the backwoods of 112 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,760 Oregon was already beginning to feel the chill of autumn. 113 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,160 Stories about the curse of the Toyota Tacoma will whispered in hushed tones around campfires 114 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,560 and in the dimly lit corners of the towns, in the dimly lit corners of the town's only 115 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,560 bar. 116 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,340 But nobody took them seriously. 117 00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:05,240 After all, who believes in cursed trucks in the early 1970s, a reclusive mechanic named 118 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,760 Charlie Morrow lives in a rundown shack at the edge of town. 119 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,720 He had a reputation of being brilliant, but eccentric craftsman known for taking on projects 120 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,560 no one else would touch. 121 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,200 When he wasn't busy fixing up old clunkers, he dabbled in the occult. 122 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,120 Some said he was a warlock. 123 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,920 Others just thought he was mad. 124 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,760 I mean, if I'm being honest, I think my mechanics are warlock, but only because I don't understand 125 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,280 anything about cars. 126 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:41,120 But, but everyone knew to steer clear of Charlie's place after dark. 127 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,440 In the summer of 1973, Charlie got his hands on a brand new Toyota Tacoma, one of the first 128 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,280 to ever arrive in the United States. 129 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:50,320 I'm glad they know that it's a foreign truck. 130 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,000 That's, you know, yeah. 131 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Now the truck was impressive. 132 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,280 The truck was immaculate, a gleaming piece of machinery that made even the most jaded 133 00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:03,440 mechanics heart skip a beat. 134 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,220 But something about the truck unnerved the town folks. 135 00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:15,200 Some said it was too perfect, that the engine purred with an unnatural smoothness as if 136 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:24,000 it wasn't running on gasoline at all, but something darker. 137 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,880 Charlie became obsessed with the truck. 138 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,520 He spent every waking moment working on it, tinkering with the engine, modifying the body 139 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,880 and adding strange symbols to the interior that no one could decipher. 140 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,740 People in town noticed that Charlie had changed too. 141 00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:42,920 He grew gaunt, his eyes sunken in wilds, and he began muttering to himself, speaking in 142 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400 tongues no one understood. 143 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:52,980 Then one day, Charlie vanished without a trace, leaving the Tacoma behind. 144 00:06:52,980 --> 00:06:57,320 The truck sat abandoned in Charlie's driveway for years, gathering dust and rust. 145 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,520 No one dared go near it, not even to steal parts. 146 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,440 Rumors circulated that Charlie had sold his soul to some dark force to perfect the Tacoma 147 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:12,920 and that it had claimed him as payment. 148 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,320 Over time, the story became a local legend, a cautionary tale parents told their children 149 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,160 to keep them away from the old mechanic's place. 150 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,440 But in 1983, a man named Greg Simmons moved to Wyndham, a city slicker with a chip on 151 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,680 his shoulder. 152 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,080 Greg didn't believe in curses or haunted trucks. 153 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,360 What I love is that they made it sound like all this time passed and they were like, also 154 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,360 in 1983. 155 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,360 Oh no, this is in the 70s. 156 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,840 So we're like five years. 157 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,760 We're already in the summertime because I said in 1983 Toyota Tacoma, then it was like 158 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,760 in 1983. 159 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,680 So like a couple of months later, when the trucks all rusty. 160 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,680 No, so all right. 161 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,240 So I mean, that's part for the course with the Toyota, but. 162 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,560 So this is what it did. 163 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,560 The story is called The Curse 1983 Toyota Tacoma. 164 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,440 But so the mechanic got one of the first Tacomas to come over in the 70s. 165 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:14,320 And then in 1983, this fucking city slicker named Greg, I was very confused. 166 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,760 But yeah, Greg doesn't believe in haunted trucks. 167 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Yeah, no, that's that's nonsense. 168 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,040 Yeah. 169 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,120 He was just looking for a bargain when he heard about the abandoned Tacoma. 170 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,920 He decided to check it out. 171 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,080 The truck was in surprisingly good shape despite its age and abandonment. 172 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,120 Greg made an offer to the town's mayor. 173 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,560 Well, what the? 174 00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:38,840 Hold on. 175 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:45,320 So if an abandoned truck exists, apparently you go to the mayor to make an offer. 176 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,320 Typically. 177 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,320 Yeah. 178 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,320 Yeah. 179 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,320 He was eager to get rid of it. 180 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,040 And soon the Tacoma was Greg's. 181 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:56,560 When the moment Greg drove the truck off Charlie's property, strange things began to happen. 182 00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:02,560 The radio would turn on by itself, playing eerie static interspersed with faint whispers. 183 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:06,840 The headlights would flicker at night, casting shadows that seemed to move on their own. 184 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:13,280 But the worst was the feeling, the oppressive, suffocating presence that settled over Greg 185 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,040 whenever he's in the truck. 186 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,480 It was as if it was as if someone or something was sitting right behind him, breathing down 187 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,480 his neck. 188 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Greg tried to ignore it, dismissing it as his imagination. 189 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,000 But the events escalated. 190 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,760 The truck began to drive itself, steering Greg steering Greg off the road and into the 191 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,040 woods at night, leaving him disoriented and terrified. 192 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,320 He started seeing things in the rear view mirror, figures that weren't there when he 193 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,320 would turn around, twisted faces leering at him from the darkness. 194 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,920 And always there was a smell of burning rubber and sulfur that permeated the truck's cabin, 195 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,600 no matter how often he cleaned it. 196 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,680 Desperate, Greg sought out the town's oldest president, a woman named Martha, who had known 197 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:00,640 Charlie before he went mad. 198 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Martha told Greg the full story, how Charlie had summoned something evil to bind to the 199 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,040 Tacoma seeking power and perfection. 200 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,440 But the end thing he called forth was too strong, too malevolent, and it had consumed 201 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,640 Charlie trapping his soul within the truck. 202 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,120 Now the Tacoma was a vessel for Charlie's tortured spirit, cursed to drive its own into 203 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,720 madness and death. 204 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,720 It's not over. 205 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,720 We still got more to go. 206 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,720 Oh my God. 207 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,200 Now, now Greg tried to get rid of the truck, but no one would take it. 208 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,320 Fucking obviously, dude. 209 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,960 Now the curse had taken hold of him, binding him to the Tacoma just as it had Charlie. 210 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,520 He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't think of anything but the truck and the dark 211 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,080 presence within it. 212 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,160 The final straw came one stormy night when the Tacoma drove Greg deep into the woods. 213 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,320 Stop getting in the truck, dude. 214 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,320 Like why? 215 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,320 Yeah. 216 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,320 Yeah. 217 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,240 Once you've determined that the truck is possessed, you don't drive it anymore. 218 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,240 Yeah. 219 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Like, I don't know, Colick had to go to the garage. 220 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,840 Like don't even like, now it must not do it all the time because he must have been able 221 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,240 to go get groceries one time and then back and find like, is it a certain time where 222 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,400 he just gets dragged into the woods to like. 223 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Yeah. 224 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,760 So maybe it's only possessed during rush hour. 225 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,760 I don't know. 226 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,760 But anyways, the final straw came was one stormy night when the Tacoma drove Craig deep 227 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,080 into the woods, his engine roaring like a beast unleashed. 228 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,400 The next morning, the town folks found Craig's. 229 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,400 Oh shit. 230 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Hold on. 231 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,400 Here we go. 232 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,040 The next morning, the townsfolk found Craig's body hanging from a tree. 233 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,040 The Tacoma parked neatly beneath them. 234 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,180 No one knows what happened to the truck after that. 235 00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:47,080 Some say still out there roaming the back roads of Oregon looking for its next victim. 236 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,240 Others claim they've seen it. 237 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,680 A phantom vehicle gliding through the fog with no driver, its headlights glowing like 238 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:53,680 eyes in the dark. 239 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,920 But one thing's for sure. 240 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,440 The curse of the 1983 Toyota Tacoma lives on, waiting for the next poor soul to fall under 241 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,440 its spell. 242 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,440 And that is. 243 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,440 Amazing. 244

rabbit. 251 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,480 Well, we can do one more. 252 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,480 No, I got to. 253 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,480 I got to. 254 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,480 I got

Tacoma. 258 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,840 Thanks for listening to this little weird bonus episode. 259 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,480 It was a little fun time. 260 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,800 Yeah,
