00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.339
You are now listening to Cryptid Cocktail Party.

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.939
Welcome back to another episode of Cryptic Cocktail

00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:44.740
Party, a show where we have a few drinks, share

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:49.520
a few laughs and take a dive into the unknown.

00:00:49.659 --> 00:00:52.159
I'm your host, Dave. Joined as always by my wonderful

00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.560
co -host, Sarge. But on this episode, we have

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.799
two very wonderful guests, Janice and Jess from

00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.759
the podcast Haunted By. How's it going, guys?

00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:01.719
Doing great. Good. How are you? I'm doing fine.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.099
Sarge, how are you? Sorry to put you last. No,

00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:12.000
no, I'm happy to go last. I am magnificent. Magnificent,

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.799
you say? That's a bold claim. Yeah, I mean, some

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.579
days I'm good, some days not so good. Today,

00:01:19.739 --> 00:01:23.019
magnificent works. You just described everyone

00:01:23.019 --> 00:01:26.980
at all times. Yeah. Right. Sometimes I'm bad,

00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.459
sometimes I'm good. Yeah, I'm trying to be relatable,

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.980
Dave. Trying to be more relatable. All right,

00:01:33.980 --> 00:01:36.359
well, Janice and Jess, why don't you guys, if

00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.480
one of you wants to take the reins, tell us a

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.359
little about your show what you're doing give

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.540
the give the uh the audience i guess a vibe your

00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:47.239
vibe i guess would be the best jess i'll let

00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:51.480
you go for it janice oh whoa okay oh my god so

00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.260
well okay well we've been friends for a really

00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:58.219
long time okay and we just decided let's do a

00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:02.920
podcast and we do um pop culture moments we do

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.579
stories And then with movie deaths that were

00:02:07.579 --> 00:02:12.060
haunted by. Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay. So we've got

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:14.120
a little bit of variety. We're kind of all over

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.319
the place, but you know, we, we make it work.

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.860
We make it flow. At least we think we do, but

00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:21.300
it's still all kind of the same niche. Like,

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.620
it's not like you're doing like horror one day

00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:25.639
and then romantic comedies the next day. And

00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.659
then like, so I mean, I think it works. I could

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:31.099
see how it would flow. Yeah. That's good. All

00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:33.740
right, so I guess just, Janice, before we start,

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:35.659
I just have one question. Are you guys, like,

00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.419
cryptids people at all? Like, do you guys like

00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:42.240
cryptids at all? Oh, yeah, definitely. Something

00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.360
you're into? Awesome. The weirder, the better.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:47.939
This episode has nothing to do with that, so.

00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:52.000
Damn. Okay, then, you know, we'll see you later.

00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.159
We were tricked. But it kind of falls in the

00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:56.259
same realm. The old bait and switch. We're going

00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:58.120
to talk about economic policy. This is where

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.780
our cut issues come from, and they just keep

00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:06.960
on going. Now I'm sweating. Just keep drinking.

00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.479
That could be the vodka soda, though. I'm going

00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.120
to drink that. All right. So, you guys, let me

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.879
set the scene for you, okay? New Year's Day,

00:03:16.060 --> 00:03:19.830
2024. A packed mall suddenly erupts into chaos.

00:03:20.050 --> 00:03:22.210
Crowds of terrified shoppers running in every

00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:24.469
direction, stores slamming their gates shut,

00:03:24.629 --> 00:03:26.849
police cruisers pour into the plaza with their

00:03:26.849 --> 00:03:29.449
sirens and lights ablaze. Nobody really seems

00:03:29.449 --> 00:03:31.849
to know what's going on, but everyone can feel

00:03:31.849 --> 00:03:35.250
that something is very, very off. Within minutes,

00:03:35.430 --> 00:03:37.509
shaky phone footage starts exploding on social

00:03:37.509 --> 00:03:40.009
media, each one adding more and more confusion

00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:42.050
into the mix. Something went down that night,

00:03:42.090 --> 00:03:44.569
and whatever it was, it sent the internet into

00:03:44.569 --> 00:03:47.520
full -blown meltdown. This week, my esteemed

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.159
guests and Sarge, I think we're going to figure

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.319
it all out. Today, we are going to be discussing

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.599
the Miami Mall incident. Do you guys remember

00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:57.979
this? Is this something you guys are familiar

00:03:57.979 --> 00:04:03.060
with? No. Oh, I think I do. What do you think

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:06.979
it is, Jess, real quick? Was this the alien thing?

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.879
Hell yeah, it was the alien thing. Yes! Yes!

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:13.699
Okay. I missed this. Sarge, you don't remember

00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:16.420
this at all? No, man. I don't even remember what

00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:18.660
I had for breakfast. Dude, the video footage

00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:21.279
in this is wild. Janice, do you remember this

00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.660
at all? No, does that mean I'm so uneducated?

00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:27.920
Like, am I just under a rock? Just, like, not

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.959
paying attention? Because it wasn't that long

00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.579
ago. i should have been trying to stay tuned

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:35.620
in but i don't know how i would have missed an

00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:39.180
alien sighting in a shopping mall i dug through

00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:42.399
videos to find this freaking alien so i'm psyched

00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.319
let's do it this this thing was everywhere like

00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.879
and not just like tiktok and twitter like it

00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.720
was any social media like you couldn't escape

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.209
it for like i feel like months almost like it

00:04:53.209 --> 00:04:55.709
was everywhere so yeah so this whole situation

00:04:55.709 --> 00:04:58.550
blew up on social media like tiktok and twitter

00:04:58.550 --> 00:05:02.310
all thanks to one short grainy video someone

00:05:02.310 --> 00:05:05.689
at bayside marketplace films this like this chaos

00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:07.889
outside the mall from across the plaza police

00:05:07.889 --> 00:05:09.970
lights flashing against the buildings people

00:05:09.970 --> 00:05:12.850
running officers moving with purpose it looks

00:05:12.850 --> 00:05:15.050
like something serious is happening but the footage

00:05:15.050 --> 00:05:18.939
is shaky and kind of unclear Then the camera

00:05:18.939 --> 00:05:22.279
shifts ever so slightly, just enough to catch

00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.980
a tall, dark shape near one of the mall entrances.

00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:26.980
It's hard to make out because the footage looks

00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:29.540
like it was filmed on like a Motorola Razr, but

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:34.139
it appears to show a long, upright silhouette

00:05:34.139 --> 00:05:36.620
in the middle of like the flashing red and blue

00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:40.060
lights. Could be a person, could be a shadow,

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.199
could be anything. But as we all know, that uncertainty

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.319
of what was being shown is all it takes. The

00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.519
clip hits TikTok, and while the original clip

00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.839
never mentions aliens or anything nefarious,

00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:56.019
it was kind of basically like a, oh shit, shit's

00:05:56.019 --> 00:05:59.060
going down at the mall kind of video. The internet

00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:02.579
immediately and collectively decided, nah man,

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:07.160
this is weird. So users began making their own

00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.939
videos, zooming in frame by frame, circling shapes,

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.699
slowing down the footage, and swearing up and

00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:15.740
down that you can clearly... And I'm using the

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:19.279
word clearly here in like the loosest of terms.

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.120
You can clearly see something that they can't

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.040
explain. They're like, it's clear as day over

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.860
in that corner covered in darkness. I know what

00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:29.379
it is. I mean, it's tough to tell when you film

00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:33.319
with the original pixel. Yeah, seriously. It

00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.540
literally looks like it was filmed on like a

00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:39.300
Nokia. Like it was not. It's a Nokia phone with

00:06:39.300 --> 00:06:44.170
a camera like duct taped. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's

00:06:44.170 --> 00:06:47.410
like some guy in old -timey garb using a daguerreotype.

00:06:48.370 --> 00:06:51.310
Someone's on a crank in the corner like, we got

00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:54.370
footage, I promise. The footage was recorded

00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:58.209
on glass. Yeah. This is going to be huge, guys.

00:06:58.889 --> 00:07:00.949
This is going to be huge. Do you see it? No,

00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:05.470
I don't. No one does. Don't worry about it. Even

00:07:05.470 --> 00:07:07.569
though it wasn't the best footage, the video

00:07:07.569 --> 00:07:10.329
takes off spreading far and spreading fast. Again,

00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:13.500
not because it's clear. but because it isn't.

00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.379
And once the hashtags started rolling in and

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:18.579
that footage started going around, the narrative

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:20.740
surrounding what was going on took on a life

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:23.319
of its own. So like in a matter of minutes, and

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.500
I mean fucking like the day of minutes, people

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:29.740
online went from what's happening in Miami to

00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:32.439
there are fucking aliens standing outside of

00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.740
the mall in Miami. But before the alien stuff

00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:38.899
even started. miami police did put out a statement

00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:41.540
explaining what went down at bayside mall so

00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.199
according to them a bunch of teenagers got into

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.540
like this huge scuffle or whatever and they were

00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:49.120
setting off fireworks inside the mall you know

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.120
just your typical teenage shit you know as we

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:57.480
all did growing up casual yeah yeah so what happened

00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.269
or allegedly what happened is around 8 30 p .m

00:08:01.269 --> 00:08:03.449
people in the mall started hearing loud bangs

00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:05.170
all throughout the building which they all thought

00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:08.009
were gunshots now that triggered a panic and

00:08:08.009 --> 00:08:10.430
stores started locking down people ran for the

00:08:10.430 --> 00:08:12.449
exits and officers flooded the scene to figure

00:08:12.449 --> 00:08:14.850
out what the fuck was happening now they found

00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:17.709
the bangs were just fireworks not guns they said

00:08:17.709 --> 00:08:19.930
the disturbance was quote -unquote a large group

00:08:19.930 --> 00:08:22.769
of juveniles and they insisted the whole thing

00:08:22.769 --> 00:08:25.509
was just your typical run -of -the -mill new

00:08:25.509 --> 00:08:30.029
year's scuffle That was the official line. Good

00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:32.830
old New Year's scuffle. Good old New Year's scuffle.

00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:37.070
Typical. You're from South. You know the New

00:08:37.070 --> 00:08:40.610
Year's Donnybrook? We all got into them. You

00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:42.850
don't have to tell me twice. Have I been part

00:08:42.850 --> 00:08:45.509
of these scuffles? No, but I've heard of them.

00:08:46.090 --> 00:08:49.610
The thing is, when it happens in Boston, it's

00:08:49.610 --> 00:08:53.970
a Donnybrook with a Donny Wahlberg. Almost always.

00:08:54.250 --> 00:08:56.789
There'll be a movie next weekend with Mark Wahlberg

00:08:56.789 --> 00:09:00.950
in it. Playing his brother. Just another Wahlberg.

00:09:01.169 --> 00:09:05.429
Just keep going. I mean, you can't blame people

00:09:05.429 --> 00:09:08.429
for thinking that. The Wahlbergs are like squirrels.

00:09:08.429 --> 00:09:11.289
They're everywhere. They are everywhere. Talk

00:09:11.289 --> 00:09:14.870
about a nuisance. And just like squirrels, you

00:09:14.870 --> 00:09:18.350
can't get rid of them. But they're part of the

00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:20.730
scenery. And you're like, ah, it's a squirrel.

00:09:20.830 --> 00:09:23.350
Is it a squirrel? Is it a Wahlberg? Just keep

00:09:23.350 --> 00:09:26.590
moving. I don't know. Did it open a burger restaurant?

00:09:26.809 --> 00:09:29.330
Then it's probably a Wahlberg. Probably a Wahlberg.

00:09:29.629 --> 00:09:31.850
In your crawl space, chewing at your wiring.

00:09:32.129 --> 00:09:39.470
Probably a Wahlberg. Well, the internet, they

00:09:39.470 --> 00:09:42.029
saw that, you know, the statement from the police

00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:46.169
and kind of collectively went, sure. And it's

00:09:46.169 --> 00:09:49.149
that skepticism that made this whole thing worse

00:09:49.149 --> 00:09:51.490
because once that first shaky video, like...

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.419
really took off the eyewitnesses quote unquote

00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:58.159
uh came out of the woodwork not like official

00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.220
witnesses or like people the news or the police

00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:03.200
talked to these are just random people stitching

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.740
the clip or like talking over screenshots or

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:08.299
writing poorly grammatic captions about what

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:11.879
they swore they saw at bayside that night one

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.240
tiktok user uh claimed she was at the mall and

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.940
said that something quote unquote huge had happened

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:20.860
and then immediately went on to say Not a single

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:23.460
news station is talking about it, which in conspiracy

00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:26.299
talk is basically accusing the news and the government

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:30.220
of a cover up. Like you do. Yeah, like you do.

00:10:30.340 --> 00:10:34.399
Yeah. Another user insisted that they saw three

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.879
giant gray humanoids about nine to ten feet tall

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.740
calmly walk out of a store during all the chaos.

00:10:41.899 --> 00:10:44.139
And according to her. It brought friends. Yeah.

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:46.840
Yeah. Got it. According to her, the official

00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.830
explanation just didn't. jive i guess uh one

00:10:50.830 --> 00:10:54.029
post on instagram went viral claiming quote i

00:10:54.029 --> 00:10:56.570
was at the miami mall yesterday and the government

00:10:56.570 --> 00:10:59.889
is lying there was no kids fighting everyone

00:10:59.889 --> 00:11:02.490
started panicking panicking because these great

00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:06.789
creatures were walking around end quote so yeah

00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:10.610
there you go that's all the proof i need uh more

00:11:10.610 --> 00:11:12.990
accounts chimed in with their own details uh

00:11:12.990 --> 00:11:15.970
with claims of seven to ten foot tall creatures

00:11:15.970 --> 00:11:18.230
running around the mall Reports that people were

00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:21.710
being attacked. Shadow figures lurking near storefronts.

00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:24.970
And these stories started spreading faster than

00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:27.850
the actual clip itself. And each one seemed to

00:11:27.850 --> 00:11:30.669
be bigger, scarier, and more exaggerated than

00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:34.789
the last. And because the internet decidedly

00:11:34.789 --> 00:11:36.730
isn't the best at moderation or common sense,

00:11:36.870 --> 00:11:39.769
the theories about who or what happened started

00:11:39.769 --> 00:11:42.899
to come in. And they pretty much went... nuclear

00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:45.360
some users insisted that the creatures didn't

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.700
just appear that they were summoned claiming

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:50.539
the teens inside the mall had opened a portal

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:53.559
during the chaos oh so it's stranger things yeah

00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.120
pretty much with people and fucking portals yeah

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.159
yeah i feel like all the time now it's a portal

00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.399
people love portals well we're getting bored

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.980
sarge we need portals when you scuffle with enough

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:12.539
people a portal automatically open You're like,

00:12:12.539 --> 00:12:15.539
hey, this couple can only have 10 any higher.

00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.139
We got a portal on our hands. That's why you

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:21.159
have to be really careful when there's a victory

00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.539
parade in Boston. Others decided the beings were

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:27.960
actually Nephilim, you know, like from the Bible.

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:35.120
God damn it. God damn it. Always. Some decided

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.779
that they were connected to the 10 -foot -tall

00:12:37.779 --> 00:12:39.720
aliens that were spotted in that dude's backyard

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.019
in Vegas just a few months before that. I don't

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:43.759
know if you guys remember the Vegas alien. Yep,

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:47.200
I do remember that. Yeah. Also, it didn't matter

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.120
that almost every one of these eyewitness accounts

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.899
contradicted the last. The internet only cared

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:54.159
about the overarching theme of the accounts,

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.580
which was, quote, like, I was there, I saw something,

00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:00.779
and the police are covering it up. Even though

00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:02.600
none of the witnesses seemed to, you know, have,

00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.850
like... videos photos it was pretty much all

00:13:05.850 --> 00:13:09.470
just based on vibes like yeah just vibes honestly

00:13:09.470 --> 00:13:13.450
straight vibes most of the time yeah i mean vibes

00:13:13.450 --> 00:13:17.350
are really all you need yeah so the question

00:13:17.350 --> 00:13:20.429
really is like why was everyone so ready to jump

00:13:20.429 --> 00:13:23.149
to aliens so quickly well for starters nobody

00:13:23.149 --> 00:13:25.210
had a clear explanation of what had actually

00:13:25.210 --> 00:13:29.159
happened for a couple hours when Dozens of cruisers

00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.279
swarm a mall on New Year's with their lights

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.220
on full blast, blocking roads, cops running around.

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:36.840
An official word is basically crickets for a

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.019
while. Even for a short amount of time, it creates

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:41.580
this perfect little vacuum. And if there's anything

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:44.899
the internet refuses to let exist, it's a vacuum.

00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.840
Then you add grainy, quote unquote, tall figure

00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.519
videos into the mix. One weird shadow at the

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.000
wrong angle. One shape that kind of sort of looks

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.960
like something non -human. If you squint hard

00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.190
enough, then suddenly people are like, Oh, yeah,

00:13:58.230 --> 00:14:01.970
that's for sure a 10 -foot alien just chilling

00:14:01.970 --> 00:14:04.330
outside the mall. Naturally. Right. What time

00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:07.110
of year was this? Well, hold on. Give me one

00:14:07.110 --> 00:14:09.929
second. All right. Plus, it probably didn't help

00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:13.429
that it was New Year's Day. So two -thirds of

00:14:13.429 --> 00:14:16.789
the country was hungover and sleep -deprived,

00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:19.450
and they were just doom -scrolling, which, I

00:14:19.450 --> 00:14:21.629
mean, that's kind of prime time for people to

00:14:21.629 --> 00:14:26.539
see blurry shadows and go, that's aliens? Definitely.

00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:29.320
I mean, we all hallucinate when we're hungover,

00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:32.919
right? This is just a given. Tell me that is

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:36.519
normal, please. Yeah, of course. It's Sunday

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.360
mornings. I'm like, oh my God, is it a gremlin?

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:46.080
Am I hungover? I don't know. So by the time real

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:47.980
information came out, the internet had already

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:50.960
built a narrative and I got to give it to them.

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.519
It's definitely way more exciting. This thing

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.679
didn't slow down. All of this was just within

00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.379
the first day or so. Once those first few clips

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:02.259
hit the internet and it was, like, really going

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:07.039
viral, it went even more viraler, I guess. And

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.299
the claims got even crazier. Like, for instance...

00:15:11.210 --> 00:15:13.350
There's claims of a shootout. Multiple posts

00:15:13.350 --> 00:15:16.870
insisted that the police had begun engaging hostile

00:15:16.870 --> 00:15:20.909
entities inside and outside the mall. So yeah,

00:15:20.950 --> 00:15:22.690
so according to these people, officers were literally

00:15:22.690 --> 00:15:26.169
shooting at the creatures. Okay, good. That might

00:15:26.169 --> 00:15:28.429
be the most accurate part of the story. Can you

00:15:28.429 --> 00:15:31.590
imagine if Nephilim came down to Earth and the

00:15:31.590 --> 00:15:33.350
police showed up, they'd just start shooting

00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:35.309
angels? They'd just shoot at it. I don't know.

00:15:35.529 --> 00:15:38.450
To be fair, I feel like this is the one time

00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:44.019
where that's a valid response. Yeah. Yeah. It's

00:15:44.019 --> 00:15:46.299
like, how do you stop the apocalypse? You shoot

00:15:46.299 --> 00:15:49.120
at it. Yeah. Right. We've all seen dogma. That's

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.960
exactly what you do. There's truly nothing more

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.980
American than shooting at something you don't

00:15:55.980 --> 00:16:01.799
understand. Yeah. It's valid. I get it. The second

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:06.720
amendment. Every cryptid story. Yeah. Is that.

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.360
a bunch of villagers grab shotguns and go out

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.059
to the streets. Yeah. I mean, what else are you

00:16:14.059 --> 00:16:16.039
going to do? Sometimes you got to, I guess. Yeah.

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.799
Yeah. Right. Exactly. Start firing wildly into

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.340
the air to scare off whatever you don't understand.

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.220
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm really glad we're all on

00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:29.929
the same page. Right. Yeah. I don't know if Sargent

00:16:29.929 --> 00:16:32.149
is on the same page. He just loves when it happens.

00:16:33.230 --> 00:16:37.470
It's just always, it never fails to make me laugh.

00:16:37.610 --> 00:16:39.909
Every single time, I'm just like, of course they

00:16:39.909 --> 00:16:42.509
brought out the guns. But I mean, a shootout

00:16:42.509 --> 00:16:46.149
between the cops and aliens, I say shootout as

00:16:46.149 --> 00:16:47.750
if they were shooting back. I don't think they

00:16:47.750 --> 00:16:51.909
were, but they were just shooting at unarmed

00:16:51.909 --> 00:16:54.070
beings. But that would naturally explain all

00:16:54.070 --> 00:16:57.799
the sirens, all the cops, never mind. All that

00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.559
aside, never mind the fact that not a single

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:02.480
person recorded gunshots, bullet holes, or anything

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.640
like that. It's still a pretty fun claim. Then

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.200
came the claims that the FAA has shut down all

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.279
air traffic over Miami and that the airport was

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.019
locked down and all flights were grounded and

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:17.279
then the skies were swept clear. There was also

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.259
people claiming that there was a sweeping power

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:22.059
outage and that there were Wi -Fi and phone service.

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.359
It cut out for an unspecified amount of time.

00:17:25.930 --> 00:17:28.549
And obviously, you can't have a good alien conspiracy

00:17:28.549 --> 00:17:31.869
without unmarked black helicopters. So people

00:17:31.869 --> 00:17:35.789
were insisting that these black helicopters were

00:17:35.789 --> 00:17:38.009
hovering over downtown Miami and sweeping the

00:17:38.009 --> 00:17:41.430
area. Then you have my personal favorite, which

00:17:41.430 --> 00:17:43.690
we touched on previously. They just came out

00:17:43.690 --> 00:17:47.240
of portals. That's it. Just a portal. And they

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.380
came on through. That scene from the Avengers

00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:51.579
movie. Yeah. I don't know why. All these portals

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:53.480
opening. I think that's really funny. It's a

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.880
great one. Frankly, I feel bad for the aliens.

00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:58.339
Because I'm sure they were like, we come in peace.

00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:01.539
And the police were like, we don't. Yeah. They

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:03.799
were like, okay, well. Game on, motherfucker.

00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:05.960
I mean, isn't that most police interactions?

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:11.119
Exactly. But the best part of all of this. Stop

00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.880
resisting as you're lying on the ground. Right.

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.829
Let's not get too heavy, Sarge, all right? We're

00:18:16.829 --> 00:18:22.269
talking about aliens. But in the best part of

00:18:22.269 --> 00:18:25.190
all this, not a single person's story matched

00:18:25.190 --> 00:18:28.630
anyone else's. None of them matched. Nobody had

00:18:28.630 --> 00:18:31.730
the same details. Nobody had the proof. And half

00:18:31.730 --> 00:18:33.609
the claims contradicted the other half. Even

00:18:33.609 --> 00:18:37.190
in videos where people were stitching other quote

00:18:37.190 --> 00:18:39.349
-unquote eyewitness accounts to corroborate their

00:18:39.349 --> 00:18:43.190
story, they would contradict the original person's

00:18:43.190 --> 00:18:46.569
story in their video. Yeah, that's how you know

00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:48.670
it's true. Yeah, but it didn't matter because

00:18:48.670 --> 00:18:52.210
online, again, the theme was the truth, which

00:18:52.210 --> 00:18:55.069
was I was there, I saw something, and the government

00:18:55.069 --> 00:18:58.369
is covering it up. And once the internet decides

00:18:58.369 --> 00:19:02.549
there's a cover -up, good luck trying to convince

00:19:02.549 --> 00:19:05.950
them otherwise. Yeah. So what really happened

00:19:05.950 --> 00:19:10.509
here? Was there aliens? Was there Nephilim or

00:19:10.509 --> 00:19:15.269
anything like that? Well, the truth was... It

00:19:15.269 --> 00:19:17.430
was teenagers. It was teenagers and fireworks.

00:19:19.190 --> 00:19:25.690
That's it. So around 830 p .m., Miami PD started

00:19:25.690 --> 00:19:28.569
getting 911 calls from inside the mall reporting

00:19:28.569 --> 00:19:31.650
gunshots. So people were panicking. Stores were

00:19:31.650 --> 00:19:34.529
slamming their doors and everyone inside was

00:19:34.529 --> 00:19:37.250
scrambling to get out. So the police showed up

00:19:37.250 --> 00:19:40.579
in force expecting to find. active shooters.

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:42.900
What they actually found was a group of over

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:45.720
50 kids just going ape shit. They were lighting

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.039
fireworks inside the mall. They were throwing

00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.599
shit. They were just causing absolute chaos.

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.859
But once officers realized what was going on,

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.980
even before then, they had called for backup

00:19:55.980 --> 00:20:00.740
and like a lot of backup. Miami PD went into

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:03.660
a citywide emergency alert, meaning every available

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:07.740
unit had hauled ass to the Bayside mall. That's

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:10.460
why you see over 60 cop cars in the video. There's

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:13.380
hundreds of police officers, not because they

00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:15.660
were forming a perimeter around the mall to have

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:18.039
a shootout with aliens. No, what they encountered

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:28.900
was far worse. Youths. Way worse. The Miami PD

00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:31.640
then put out a statement explaining exactly what

00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:33.819
happened. There was no conspiracy, no secrecy,

00:20:33.859 --> 00:20:36.460
no cover -up. They even addressed the alien rumors

00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:39.700
directly in a post saying, quote, there were

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:43.059
no aliens, UFOs, or ETs, no airports were closed,

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.019
no power outages, calm down. And then they followed

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:48.920
that up with the facepalm emoji, which I thought

00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:53.970
was really funny. they did the facepalm emoji

00:20:53.970 --> 00:20:57.069
in their announcement no it was like in a social

00:20:57.069 --> 00:20:59.950
media post like they put the facepalm emoji yeah

00:20:59.950 --> 00:21:04.490
the official Miami PD it was pretty good they

00:21:04.490 --> 00:21:06.569
even posted a video where an officer points to

00:21:06.569 --> 00:21:11.240
the giant shadow alien and says quote that That's

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.440
literally a person's shadow, end quote. And he

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.839
walks through the clip frame by frame and pretty

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:18.660
much proves it's nothing more than just trash

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:21.200
lighting and shit camera quality. But just for

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.359
fun, they edited in a little CGI alien because

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.859
they were having fun with it. Why wouldn't you?

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:31.880
Like we're leaning in. We're leaning in. It would

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.099
actually be funnier if it was like a really tiny

00:21:34.099 --> 00:21:37.279
alien. Yes. And it was just casting like a crazy

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:43.809
long shadow. It wasn't that. It was worse than

00:21:43.809 --> 00:21:49.750
that. It was like clip art. But yeah, so as for

00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:52.529
the other claims, air traffic was never shut

00:21:52.529 --> 00:21:55.309
down in Miami International Airport, never halted

00:21:55.309 --> 00:21:59.230
or grounded anything, both easily provable. You

00:21:59.230 --> 00:22:01.789
can look any of that up. There were no blackouts

00:22:01.789 --> 00:22:04.109
or interruptions to cell phone service or Wi

00:22:04.109 --> 00:22:07.660
-Fi. Again, easily provable. There was no black

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:11.119
helicopters, not as easily provable, but you're

00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.279
telling me that no one got it on camera, not

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.119
a photo, a video. We're carrying cameras everywhere

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.940
we go. Yeah. Yet for some reason, the minute

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:22.680
a black helicopter shows up, everyone forgets

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.019
how their phone works. Yeah. Or it's that grainy

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:28.099
Nokia shit. Yeah, exactly. Everyone on earth

00:22:28.099 --> 00:22:30.059
is taking high def fucking pictures of their

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:31.779
lunch. Until that moment. Post on Instagram.

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:36.839
Yeah. Now, you guys. are all in agreement with

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.640
not only news outlets, fact -checkers, but also

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.680
William fucking Shatner, because he joined in

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:46.240
in pointing out that obviously here, like, there's

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:50.279
not a single person in a crowd of hundreds at

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:52.880
a mall full of phones got a photo of a 10 -foot

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.779
-tall alien. Not one. Right. Like, not even a

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:58.559
blurry Bigfoot -ass, like, silhouette. Yeah.

00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.640
All anyone had was a weird shadow in that video

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:04.299
that people really wanted to believe was something

00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:07.200
out of this world. You know, I don't like William.

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:12.539
There's negative energy. Of all people, Will.

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.339
Of all people, really? You know what? First of

00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:18.279
all, Will, fuck you. I don't dare you. Will,

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:20.779
fuck you, Shatner. I don't want that, Shatner.

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:23.940
I should have quoted his actual tweet, but he

00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:26.039
tweeted out something about it, and it was something

00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.890
like fucking like... I guess Captain Kirk isn't

00:23:29.890 --> 00:23:33.809
the only one who experiences it. He brought it

00:23:33.809 --> 00:23:35.809
back to Star Trek, but he basically could just

00:23:35.809 --> 00:23:37.130
call it bullshit on the whole thing. It was really

00:23:37.130 --> 00:23:42.430
funny. But yeah, so this whole thing, the Miami

00:23:42.430 --> 00:23:44.710
Mall incident or whatever you want to call it,

00:23:44.769 --> 00:23:47.890
had been pretty much debunked top to bottom by

00:23:47.890 --> 00:23:50.589
January 5th. But like any good internet conspiracy,

00:23:50.849 --> 00:23:53.609
that didn't really matter. Like if you look at

00:23:53.609 --> 00:23:56.630
the likes and views and reposts on videos perpetuating

00:23:56.630 --> 00:23:59.289
the conspiracy versus the ones that are debunking

00:23:59.289 --> 00:24:03.450
them, ratio's a bit skewed. People just seem

00:24:03.450 --> 00:24:05.430
to want to believe that something happened even

00:24:05.430 --> 00:24:08.690
though that something was just teenagers acting

00:24:08.690 --> 00:24:11.829
like dickheads. But yeah, so there you have it.

00:24:12.089 --> 00:24:14.980
The Miami mall incident. It's the night that

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:17.019
the internet collectively decided Florida had

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:19.420
been invaded by 10 foot tall shadow aliens. The

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:21.799
amount of videos I went through for that. Yeah.

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.359
Truly. I went down that rabbit hole. Cause I

00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:25.940
was like, no way. But then I was like, why is

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:27.279
everything so grainy? And then I went to the

00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.279
next video. Like I was in it. I fear I was involved

00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.440
in that. Yeah. I think we all kind of were for

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.519
a minute. Well, at least me and you, maybe not

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.880
Sergeant Janice. Show me the alien. Completely

00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.799
missed me. So this is a roller coaster ride.

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:44.920
I've been really like, that's great. I don't

00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.019
trust William Shatner anymore. This has been,

00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:52.359
it's been a lot. Well, yeah, so it wasn't 10

00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:54.460
foot tall aliens. It was just a bunch of kids

00:24:54.460 --> 00:24:57.640
who turned a mall into a low budget WWE entrance.

00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.039
Yeah. Amazing. But if we're being honest, it's

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.960
kind of the perfect like modern urban legend.

00:25:04.019 --> 00:25:05.819
Like all the ingredients are there for what.

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.859
we normally think of for urban legends it's a

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:11.319
chaotic scene there's zero information followed

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.299
up by way too much misinformation way too many

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:16.500
cops there's a grainy ass video that was shot

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:20.980
in 144p and you mix all that together and i kind

00:25:20.980 --> 00:25:23.299
of get it i get why people latched onto it but

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:29.210
anyways that's the story for the most part I

00:25:29.210 --> 00:25:31.109
guess we'll go in a circle here. Jess, how are

00:25:31.109 --> 00:25:33.650
you feeling about it? And then we'll go Janice

00:25:33.650 --> 00:25:35.730
and then Sarge. How I'm feeling about this whole

00:25:35.730 --> 00:25:38.849
tale? Well, like I said, I was very deep involved,

00:25:39.150 --> 00:25:41.710
but I was also very frustrated that everyone's

00:25:41.710 --> 00:25:46.390
video was very grainy. But I kind of wanted it

00:25:46.390 --> 00:25:48.650
to be a thing. I'm just like, things, you know,

00:25:48.730 --> 00:25:51.789
things are shit. Like, let's get an alien in

00:25:51.789 --> 00:25:55.779
here. I just I really wanted I really wanted

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:57.599
something to happen like I think we've gone through

00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.119
so much crazy bullshit recently that I'm like

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.619
why not an alien so I was ready for it I think

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:06.579
you nailed it I think that's kind of where I

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:08.500
was too I was like I didn't believe it at all

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:11.380
but I was like I get it like why not like this

00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:13.940
should I wish maybe it wasn't maybe it wasn't

00:26:13.940 --> 00:26:16.660
so much crazy stuff has happened so why not it

00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:19.640
was more like a bunch of crazy stuff has happened

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.190
so Of course this would also be happening. Of

00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:26.789
course, yeah. There's like a meme that's like,

00:26:26.910 --> 00:26:29.769
if someone told me a dragon flew by, I'd be like,

00:26:29.869 --> 00:26:33.089
I believe it. Because why not? Because of course

00:26:33.089 --> 00:26:34.809
there'd be a dragon flying by right now. Yeah,

00:26:34.809 --> 00:26:36.490
exactly. It's just one of those things where

00:26:36.490 --> 00:26:39.990
everyone's just like, you know what, sure. Janice,

00:26:39.990 --> 00:26:42.829
how are you feeling about it? You know, just

00:26:42.829 --> 00:26:44.849
because I don't believe that there was an alien

00:26:44.849 --> 00:26:48.329
here at the mall. Doesn't mean I don't believe

00:26:48.329 --> 00:26:50.730
in aliens. I think they're for sure out there

00:26:50.730 --> 00:26:54.730
somewhere. But I think this is a missed opportunity.

00:26:55.390 --> 00:26:57.930
And we could do an episode of Saved by the Bell

00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:02.309
at the Bayside Mall and do a whole episode. Because

00:27:02.309 --> 00:27:04.309
didn't they go to Bayside High? It just kept

00:27:04.309 --> 00:27:06.670
making me think of Saved by the Bell. Oh, and

00:27:06.670 --> 00:27:09.930
Zach like stops the camera. Yeah. And Zach goes,

00:27:10.089 --> 00:27:13.269
guys, we've got an alien on our hands. And you

00:27:13.269 --> 00:27:17.839
know what? And it turned out it was just Screech

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:19.220
setting off fireworks. Yeah, the whole time.

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:22.819
R .I .P. Because he wanted to impress Lisa. Yeah.

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:27.779
Yeah. Classic tail. Classic tail. Classic. Tail

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:32.000
is old as time. Exactly. Sarge, how are you feeling?

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:34.200
So I have like a slightly different perspective

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.539
on this because in 2011, there was a tornado

00:27:37.539 --> 00:27:39.980
that hit Western Massachusetts. That is. National

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:42.140
Guard at the time. Crazy jump. And I got called

00:27:42.140 --> 00:27:48.710
up. go with my unit into yeah springfield massachusetts

00:27:48.710 --> 00:27:51.829
okay and so we have all these army humvees rolling

00:27:51.829 --> 00:27:56.630
into town and um later on that afternoon my my

00:27:56.630 --> 00:27:59.990
buddy starts laughing and he shows me a facebook

00:27:59.990 --> 00:28:03.230
post that is getting an insurmountable amount

00:28:03.230 --> 00:28:06.230
of love oh god i hope it's mine and i look at

00:28:06.230 --> 00:28:10.150
it and it's a picture of our truck with a few

00:28:10.150 --> 00:28:13.150
others driving into springfield and it is this

00:28:13.150 --> 00:28:16.730
person freaking out that the government is coming

00:28:16.730 --> 00:28:21.609
to seize their guns. Well, yeah. And I started

00:28:21.609 --> 00:28:23.970
laughing hysterically because at this point in

00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:26.650
the operation, we didn't even have fucking guns.

00:28:27.130 --> 00:28:29.069
And this guy's like, I have it on good authority

00:28:29.069 --> 00:28:30.789
that the government is coming to take our guns.

00:28:30.849 --> 00:28:33.490
They're not here to help us. And I'm like, bro,

00:28:33.630 --> 00:28:36.670
I don't even have a knife. Like, what do you

00:28:36.670 --> 00:28:38.650
think I'm going to do? We're just standing on

00:28:38.650 --> 00:28:40.670
the street corner like glorified parking cones.

00:28:40.789 --> 00:28:42.849
Are you kidding me? I'm wearing a yellow vest.

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:47.299
What do you think is going to happen today? So

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:50.099
anytime people freak the fuck out because there's

00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:52.960
a lot of police or a lot of helicopters or something

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:55.440
like that, I think back to that moment and realize

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.759
it doesn't matter what you tell the public. They're

00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:01.660
going to believe it's aliens or a government

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:04.539
takeover. Oh, for sure. But also, I feel like

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:07.380
people have forgotten this moment that mass shootings

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:10.740
happen almost consistently. It's a... That's

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:13.640
a daily occurrence. So why would your first thought

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:20.980
be alien invasion? I'm sure there were long shadows

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:23.500
in other places where there were loud explosions.

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:25.599
I remember the first time I saw that video, because

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:28.099
I'm on that whole conspiracy alien side of TikTok,

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:31.859
and I was like, no one... Yeah, obviously, if

00:29:31.859 --> 00:29:35.059
there's... a multiple active shooter situation,

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.059
they're going to bring the full force down on

00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:39.039
it. They're not going to just be like one cop

00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:41.819
rolling up and be like, oh, I got this, 50 youths.

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:46.019
50 youths. You know what's going to be great?

00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:48.740
When actual aliens land, no one's going to believe

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:53.799
it. I know. Yeah. But maybe that's good. I'm

00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:57.000
ready. I'm ready, please. They couldn't possibly

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.000
do worse than what's happening right now. I was

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.089
just going to say, it can't get worse. So. It's

00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:04.369
valid. Bring the aliens. Very valid. Like, I

00:30:04.369 --> 00:30:06.910
literally would be like, oh, okay. Yeah. But

00:30:06.910 --> 00:30:08.329
again, aliens are going to show up. What are

00:30:08.329 --> 00:30:11.029
you going to do? Lower oil prices? Like, come

00:30:11.029 --> 00:30:15.250
on in. Are my groceries cheaper now? Yeah. Come

00:30:15.250 --> 00:30:19.549
on in, guys. Yeah. Show us your secrets. That's

00:30:19.549 --> 00:30:21.470
an old word, groceries. We should do groceries.

00:30:22.289 --> 00:30:24.309
A word I've never heard before. I've never heard

00:30:24.309 --> 00:30:28.109
it before. Who says that word? I will say, though,

00:30:28.190 --> 00:30:31.230
if aliens did come down. I'd believe it, but

00:30:31.230 --> 00:30:33.569
again, it would be another one of those, yeah,

00:30:33.670 --> 00:30:36.009
that might as well be happening now scenarios.

00:30:36.250 --> 00:30:37.970
Yeah. Like, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean,

00:30:37.970 --> 00:30:39.630
it depends on where they land, because if someone

00:30:39.630 --> 00:30:41.750
tells me aliens have landed in America, I'm just

00:30:41.750 --> 00:30:45.009
going to be like, no way. We are far too armed.

00:30:45.250 --> 00:30:47.309
Aliens aren't stupid. If they can fly across

00:30:47.309 --> 00:30:49.930
the universe, they know enough about our culture

00:30:49.930 --> 00:30:51.970
to know they would be shot on sight. They're

00:30:51.970 --> 00:30:54.670
going to land in a place like Italy or Tibet,

00:30:54.950 --> 00:30:57.589
like somewhere where there's not a lot of guns.

00:30:58.369 --> 00:31:00.170
Don't you think they'd be okay in New England?

00:31:00.529 --> 00:31:02.269
Oh, that's true. They'd be fine in Massachusetts.

00:31:02.630 --> 00:31:05.609
Yeah. If they landed in Massachusetts, we'd be

00:31:05.609 --> 00:31:08.849
like, we'll get you with our wit. Yeah, some

00:31:08.849 --> 00:31:12.349
kid in a scally cap who just handed a tall boy.

00:31:12.730 --> 00:31:17.869
I don't know. Do you like vodka? They can't land

00:31:17.869 --> 00:31:20.670
in Texas or Miami, but in Massachusetts, we'd

00:31:20.670 --> 00:31:24.609
be like, all right, you sure? Yeah. Hey, guy,

00:31:24.670 --> 00:31:29.420
you ever been to Saturn? Hey, guy. We'd be hiding

00:31:29.420 --> 00:31:33.440
my anus joke. We'd be like, ah, your anus. You

00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:39.359
got it. You just hand him a Sam Summer. Like,

00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:42.839
here you go, bud. It's a fucking Sam Summer.

00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:44.500
We all just turn to the Wahlbergs. We're like,

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.759
I don't know. I don't know what to do with it.

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:48.819
They're like, take me to your leader. And we're

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:51.839
like, somebody call Mark. We're like, shit, Donnie.

00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:57.390
Donnie. First of all, if they were in Boston

00:31:57.390 --> 00:31:58.529
and they said, take us to your leader, it'd be

00:31:58.529 --> 00:32:01.230
Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys, first of all.

00:32:01.250 --> 00:32:05.869
That's true. I feel like that's who that'd be

00:32:05.869 --> 00:32:08.529
the first. Ken shows up. He gets on the red line,

00:32:08.630 --> 00:32:12.549
shows up in Boston. I was just getting a coffee

00:32:12.549 --> 00:32:14.589
at Dunk's. What's going on? All right, guys.

00:32:14.630 --> 00:32:16.970
So that's the episode. Thank you guys so much

00:32:16.970 --> 00:32:19.200
for... For joining us. This was a lot of fun.

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:20.720
I hope you guys learned something. Thanks for

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.339
having us. I don't think anyone learned anything

00:32:23.339 --> 00:32:28.579
from this, but it was fun nonetheless. Yeah,

00:32:28.579 --> 00:32:32.759
I had fun. Yeah. This was great. Yeah. All right.

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:34.299
Well, I guess with that out of the way, Jess

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:36.279
and Janice, do you guys want to, is there anything

00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:38.140
you want to plug anywhere you want people to

00:32:38.140 --> 00:32:42.160
be directed to? I'll let Jess do our plugs. Okay.

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.380
Yeah, we're on all the social media. We do TikTok,

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.220
Instagram, Facebook. We post little clips right

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:54.279
now. Yeah, come and find us. We're pretty funny.

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:57.339
And we're at hauntedby on all of them. I was

00:32:57.339 --> 00:33:00.099
going to say, maybe you should put the at. I

00:33:00.099 --> 00:33:03.910
know. No, figure it out, people. And we'll put

00:33:03.910 --> 00:33:07.950
a link to your Instagram in the description,

00:33:08.089 --> 00:33:10.569
too. I feel like they go on vibes. Like, vibe

00:33:10.569 --> 00:33:13.130
it out, man. Go on vibes. Yeah, just go on vibes.

00:33:13.250 --> 00:33:14.589
I mean, that's what the internet did with this

00:33:14.589 --> 00:33:17.250
story, so it's really all about it. You see a

00:33:17.250 --> 00:33:23.230
grainy video of us, keep going. All right. To

00:33:23.230 --> 00:33:27.309
all the analysis you can. I'm pretty sure she's

00:33:27.309 --> 00:33:30.730
from Moz, guy. Yeah. And Sarge, you got anything

00:33:30.730 --> 00:33:32.789
you want to plug while we're here? You can find

00:33:32.789 --> 00:33:36.029
me on the socials, Sarge the Destroyer. I'm everywhere,

00:33:36.130 --> 00:33:37.750
but don't follow me on Twitter because I don't

00:33:37.750 --> 00:33:40.009
even check that shithole anymore. I only keep

00:33:40.009 --> 00:33:43.109
my account so I can say mean things to our government.

00:33:43.390 --> 00:33:45.490
First of all, sorry, it's called X now. Show

00:33:45.490 --> 00:33:47.630
some fucking respect. No, it's called Twitter

00:33:47.630 --> 00:33:51.509
now and no one's calling it X. Elon Musk probably

00:33:51.509 --> 00:33:54.950
isn't even calling it X. No, probably not. No.

00:33:55.710 --> 00:33:59.809
All right. And if you can't find... Either of

00:33:59.809 --> 00:34:02.049
their socials, I'll put them in the episode description.

00:34:03.329 --> 00:34:07.769
Sarge's socials are in the link in our Instagram,

00:34:07.910 --> 00:34:09.690
which you can find at Crypto Cocktail. You can

00:34:09.690 --> 00:34:13.690
find us at TikTok, Crypto Cocktail Party. I really

00:34:13.690 --> 00:34:15.469
don't have anything else to say. I think that's

00:34:15.469 --> 00:34:19.389
kind of it. Normally, at this point in the episode,

00:34:19.690 --> 00:34:22.090
Sarge would say goodbye and I love you, but do

00:34:22.090 --> 00:34:23.590
one of you guys want to say goodbye and I love

00:34:23.590 --> 00:34:25.539
you to the audience? Should we both say it at

00:34:25.539 --> 00:34:27.780
the same time? Or you just can start and then

00:34:27.780 --> 00:34:30.079
I'll end. Goodbye. I love you.
