I would love to know how I did. Yeah, actually,

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.579
don't don't tell us. Don't hurt her feelings.

00:00:19.009 --> 00:00:20.690
I'm just kidding. I actually don't know I haven't

00:00:20.690 --> 00:00:22.929
listened to it. So I need to keep it. I'll probably

00:00:22.929 --> 00:00:26.350
keep it. It's fine Yeah, you should you literally

00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:28.469

00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.829
So you should be listening That's true audiobooks

00:00:31.829 --> 00:00:34.990
podcasts you name it and it's I've been so deep

00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:37.530
in the rabbit holes Which is partially why we're

00:00:37.530 --> 00:00:38.649
gonna talk about what we're gonna talk about

00:00:38.649 --> 00:00:41.270
today Yes, but before we do if you're watching

00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:43.009
on YouTube if that's where you're joining us

00:00:43.009 --> 00:00:45.090
from you're gonna see I'm I'm dressed a little

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:49.590
different, right? It's not It's not to commemorate

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:52.229
Charlie Kirk. You might have thought that. Yes.

00:00:52.609 --> 00:00:55.670
That would be acceptable. No, I just came from

00:00:55.670 --> 00:00:57.869
a meeting with one of my church leaders, actually.

00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:00.909
And before, I'd be like, oh, I'm going to change.

00:01:01.090 --> 00:01:03.509
And I was like, you know what? No, make a statement

00:01:03.509 --> 00:01:07.209
because it's 2025. And you know what that means?

00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:13.209
It's time for us to welcome change, work on us.

00:01:13.709 --> 00:01:16.879
At least that's where I'm at. I enjoy working

00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.780
on myself. I want to be the best version of myself

00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:21.260
I can be. This week's episode. You're not ready.

00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:24.340
We're about to hit you with some crazy shizz.

00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:26.939
All right. This week's episode is birds aren't

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:31.040
real, but this episode is. Yeah. So this was

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.180
Joe's idea. He really loved this title and he

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.120
wanted to go with it. So let us know if you like

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.340
it. There are so many conspiracy theories floating

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:43.659
around right now. So many. It is. It is absolutely

00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:47.189
inundating, but I'm here for it. If you love

00:01:47.189 --> 00:01:49.250
conspiracy theories. There's like the conspiracy

00:01:49.250 --> 00:01:51.109
theories where you're like, no, that could never

00:01:51.109 --> 00:01:53.829
happen. Like, you know, for the conspiracy theorists,

00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.629
they hear this, this might be a small percentage

00:01:55.629 --> 00:01:58.730
of our listeners. Adrenochrome, Pizzagate, like

00:01:58.730 --> 00:02:01.030
I'm here for all that stuff, but that's not where

00:02:01.030 --> 00:02:02.969
we're taking this. Obviously, there's the Charlie

00:02:02.969 --> 00:02:04.750
Kirk stuff. Yeah. We're going to talk about just

00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:07.450
a little bit of that. We've got some fun stuff

00:02:07.450 --> 00:02:10.849
to share. And are birds even real? Like, do you

00:02:10.849 --> 00:02:14.099
do you know for sure that pigeons are real? What

00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:16.020
if they're just little homing devices that can

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:20.280
just like Thuggy just be like so creepy. Oh wait,

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:21.919
and you went to Target again this week. That's

00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:29.960
crazy Target sponsor me, please. Oh, please I

00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:31.960
mean even just chip in Joanna like it doesn't

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.819
have to be whole Target just like something.

00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:37.289
Oh, that would be nice I am someone that's not

00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:39.849
a huge girly on conspiracy theories. It makes

00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:42.330
my brain wanna explode. It's just too much for

00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:45.090
me. I'd rather sometimes just be oblivious to

00:02:45.090 --> 00:02:47.669
everything. Like I'm just gonna focus on my home

00:02:47.669 --> 00:02:50.250
and my family. Like I can't. This outside world

00:02:50.250 --> 00:02:53.889
stuff, it just blows my mind. But I dug deep

00:02:53.889 --> 00:02:56.870
in this episode and I've got some crazy conspiracies

00:02:56.870 --> 00:02:59.490
to come out you guys with, so. I'm ready. I'm

00:02:59.490 --> 00:03:01.969
excited. But to start off this episode, we've

00:03:01.969 --> 00:03:04.129
got to tell you guys which one was the fake story

00:03:04.129 --> 00:03:06.990
of last week. If you're new to our podcast, every

00:03:06.990 --> 00:03:10.669
week we tell four stories on the episode based

00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:13.270
on the theme of the episode. And one of them

00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:16.469
is fake generated by Chachi Beauty and also our

00:03:16.469 --> 00:03:19.229
brains. We do a little mix of it. Maybe a little

00:03:19.229 --> 00:03:21.930
grok sprinkle. Yeah, just a little bit. But many

00:03:21.930 --> 00:03:24.639
Chachi Beauty. And you guys guess each week which

00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:26.639
one you think's the fake. And every episode we

00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.699
announce in the beginning which one of last week's

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:31.319
episode was the fake story. So let's get on with

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.419
last week. If you have not listened to last week's

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:37.780
episode, stop now and go to when my instincts

00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:40.919
saved me. It's a crazy episode. So the first

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.300
story was about the random voice that saved the

00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:45.280
girl's life. Her and her best friend were walking

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.919
on the sidewalk like they always do. And a random

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.240
voice told her to cross the road. she didn't

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.020
listen at first but then she was like what the

00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:53.740
heck why is this still pushing me so she ended

00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:56.599
up crossing the road long story short the friend

00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.360
that didn't cross the road got ran over so that's

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.960
story number one story number two anniversary

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.659
camp story while camping for their anniversary

00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:08.039
in a secluded area everything seemed normal until

00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.240
night fell out of nowhere or both he and his

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.979
wife felt that creepy gut feeling like they weren't

00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:17.560
alone long story short they woke up to find a

00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.819
half um Lit or what? How would you see that?

00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:23.980
Like a half lit cigarette on the floor? Next

00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:26.660
to their fire pit. So there was someone creeping

00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:30.180
around. Yeah. And they just they just left their

00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:32.199
little dart right there and like half smoke.

00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:34.180
Yes. And they were like, oh my gosh, someone

00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:36.220
was here because they were hearing split steps

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:37.519
in the middle of night and they were scared.

00:04:38.259 --> 00:04:40.839
And the wife turned to her husband and was like,

00:04:40.980 --> 00:04:42.860
babe, do you hear that? And he was like, shh,

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:45.759
be quiet. And then he flashed the light. Well,

00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:48.420
yeah, I know it's creepy. No, you just sounded

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:52.339
like exactly like the beginning of those Joyner

00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:54.819
Lucas songs. Maybe it's just the one song where

00:04:54.819 --> 00:04:59.139
it's like, shh, be quiet, they're coming. That's

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.420
the beginning of a song. I know exactly what.

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:03.800
Exactly like. Why did that kind of creep me out

00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.019
though? I don't know why. Shh, be quiet, they're

00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:09.819
coming. That's so creepy. But I love that song,

00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:12.699
that song's a banger. Also, we're going camping

00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:17.379
this weekend, so I'd love to hear that. I know!

00:05:17.610 --> 00:05:20.329
This one was childhood warning. There was a girl

00:05:20.329 --> 00:05:22.089
that was hanging out with a group of friends

00:05:22.089 --> 00:05:24.649
and they were hanging out with this older man

00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:26.910
and this man really was like drawn to this little

00:05:26.910 --> 00:05:28.850
girl and the little girl felt really creepy about

00:05:28.850 --> 00:05:31.310
it. This man started coming around to their house

00:05:31.310 --> 00:05:33.790
and like bringing gifts. Mom answered the door

00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:35.509
and was like, get the frick away from my daughter.

00:05:35.889 --> 00:05:38.550
You are not allowed to be around her. I don't

00:05:38.550 --> 00:05:41.069
care who you are and how nice you are, get away.

00:05:41.689 --> 00:05:44.800
And come to find out years later, he had done

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.399
really bad things to a younger girl and he was,

00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.040
he got caught. And so she was just talking about

00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:52.519
how she was thankful her instinct saved her,

00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:54.980
but she feels terrible for the younger girl that

00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:59.139
didn't like escape him kind of thing. Yeah. And

00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:01.579
then the last one is the dark night story. This

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.519
one ties into the, when it was the release of

00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.500
the dark night, someone had plans to see the

00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.459
movie opening weekend at that same theater, but

00:06:08.459 --> 00:06:10.779
at last minute, their gut told them not to go

00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:15.430
and to go back to bed. And so he didn't go. Aurora,

00:06:15.910 --> 00:06:20.449
Colorado. Yes. Whoa. Yep. One of those was the

00:06:20.449 --> 00:06:23.769
fake. Joe, you were not here for the episode.

00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:25.990
So which one do you think is the fake before

00:06:25.990 --> 00:06:30.209
I announce which one it was? I think I'm pretty

00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:32.649
good at this. Yeah, you are. I mean, there's

00:06:32.649 --> 00:06:35.829
a there's a few candidates there. So I'm just

00:06:35.829 --> 00:06:38.069
going to guess that the girl that crossed the

00:06:38.069 --> 00:06:40.810
street and the other girl didn't. That's fake.

00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:43.350
Right, right, right. You're really good at this,

00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:45.589
but you actually sucked because it was actually

00:06:45.589 --> 00:06:48.689
the anniversary camp story. Really? Yeah, that

00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:51.209
was the fake. Okay. And you want to know where

00:06:51.209 --> 00:06:54.149
that came from in my heart? Our anniversary camping

00:06:54.149 --> 00:06:56.149
trip. Our anniversary camping trip. I told the

00:06:56.149 --> 00:06:59.290
story after I read it when we were roasting starbers

00:06:59.290 --> 00:07:02.110
at the fire pit. When we pulled in, we had never

00:07:02.110 --> 00:07:03.990
camped somewhere like this before. It was so

00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:06.240
secluded. We've never been somewhere where it

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.980
was like full on camping, camping. When it was

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:11.639
like higher elevation, so there was aspen trees.

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.079
It was beautiful. Licker woods. Yeah, it was

00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.560
beautiful. We were right behind a river. Like

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.240
we were on a river. It was that. And we pulled

00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.160
in and I felt uneasy. Like I didn't feel safe

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.699
there. And I remember. Yes. And when we were

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:28.160
roasting starvers, you were like, we like heard

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.600
something and we both looked at each other and

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.560
we're like, what the frick is that? And then

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.300
you shine the light and boom, a fat skunk was

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:36.579
right there. So anyways, that's kind of where

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:39.959
my mind was going as I created that story. Yeah.

00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.980
The skunk was just like back on his haunches,

00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:45.660
just smoking a cigarette. It was crazy. It was

00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:49.060
crazy. He's like, yo, you want to drag? Oh my

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:53.959
gosh. Okay. So that was last week's episode and

00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.540
that was the fake. Now let's get on with this

00:07:57.540 --> 00:08:00.129
week's episode. I'm excited. We should. I think

00:08:00.129 --> 00:08:17.810
you should hit us off with the first story. So

00:08:17.810 --> 00:08:25.750
this comes from the subreddit conspiracy, which,

00:08:25.930 --> 00:08:28.389
as you could imagine, is flooded with Charlie

00:08:28.389 --> 00:08:31.500
Kirk. stuff right now. Yeah. And there's literally

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:34.000
a million sub blocks that we can go into on this.

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.559
And I've listened to all of them. But the one

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.559
thing that has been on my mind lately, and I

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.700
saw a post about this, is that he was shot with

00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:45.500
a .30 -06 round. So for those that don't know,

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.019
and this is probably going to be news for you,

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:51.200
a .30 -06 is a hunting rifle. So think like bolt

00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.720
action. You like put one in the chamber and you're

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.200
taking down a massive animal like elk. in like

00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.659
moose like it is designed to one shot like take

00:09:03.659 --> 00:09:07.600
down a beast of animal well big big rounds it's

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.860
not like the ar -15s like that are popular killing

00:09:11.860 --> 00:09:14.240
machines which what they are somebody posted

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:19.200
a video recreation of a round going into a gelatin

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.980
head of like basically trying to recreate what

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:25.539
a headshot would look like from a 30 -06 it's

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:28.559
it's a gelatin head with the human skull and

00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.740
I'm gonna show you we're not gonna show the viewers

00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:32.740
but I do want you to be able to see this and

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:35.220
react to it because obviously we've all seen

00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:49.779
the wound we've seen what he did oh my god there's

00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:53.700
no way he was shot by that Okay, so I'm so interested

00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:56.379
in this because first of all, that's okay. That's

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:59.100
crazy. That's that's massive, right? And so you

00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:02.279
guys are gonna be able to see it It's not this

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.159
is not like You know a little round where it

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.259
goes in and like there's not much damage caused

00:10:07.259 --> 00:10:09.860
that obliterates the skull now for your sake

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:11.960
Okay, this is what I wanted to share when it

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.440
hits the skull and the bullet like redirects

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.480
it. Maybe it goes all the way through. But what

00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.940
you're seeing is it goes into the gelatin, which

00:10:19.940 --> 00:10:22.779
is recreating like our facial structure, and

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:24.659
then it hits the skull. And then when it does

00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:29.080
that, that's when it blows up. So there was basically

00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.740
no resistance for Charlie. If he was shot by

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:34.419
this caliber, which we can't rule out, it went

00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:37.399
into his neck, which is very, very soft tissue.

00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.159
Like it's not necessarily going to react the

00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.340
same way because this is hitting the skull and

00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:45.570
then So the consistency of the gelatin is supposed

00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:48.169
to be exactly the same. And that's where you're

00:10:48.169 --> 00:10:50.389
supposed to call his word or is there like science

00:10:50.389 --> 00:10:53.190
to map that out? Well, listen, all I am is an

00:10:53.190 --> 00:10:56.730
internet sleuth. I'm not a scientist. OK, so

00:10:56.730 --> 00:10:59.669
I mean, I'm judging his word for it based on

00:10:59.669 --> 00:11:03.110
the demonstration. OK, all right. But that being

00:11:03.110 --> 00:11:05.350
said, I'm really interested in this stuff, you

00:11:05.350 --> 00:11:08.309
guys. I'm interested in in the bullet loop, because

00:11:08.309 --> 00:11:11.450
if you saw the video of the one evil. It's insanely

00:11:11.450 --> 00:11:14.590
graphic. I don't want to make light of what happened

00:11:14.590 --> 00:11:18.409
to him at all, but it's so frustrating that we're

00:11:18.409 --> 00:11:22.110
being lied to. It is so frustrating to feel like

00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:24.870
we're not getting a straight story. Yeah. So

00:11:24.870 --> 00:11:27.309
here, I'm going to give my theory to the audience

00:11:27.309 --> 00:11:29.750
and we welcome whatever you guys want to share

00:11:29.750 --> 00:11:32.190
with us. Give me your thoughts. I want to hear

00:11:32.190 --> 00:11:35.929
what you think about the just just the bullet

00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:40.740
alone, the shell, the damage, whatever. what

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:43.120
they have said. There was an NBC News article

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.759
that was posted that said that there was no exit

00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.559
route. So this bullet went into his neck and

00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.860
didn't come out. And Andrew Colvett, who is one

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:55.700
of Charlie's like, I don't know if he's a producer.

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:57.580
He's a good friend of Charlie's. He runs the

00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:01.259
Charlie Kirk show. He kind of made it in evangelical

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:03.139
things, saying like, it's just another way that

00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:05.440
Charlie saved more lives because there were people

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.960
staying behind him. Normally, a 36 round would

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.950
go straight through. your neck, go straight out

00:12:11.950 --> 00:12:13.830
and then probably give it to another person.

00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:16.090
So they're saying it's like a medical miracle

00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:20.169
that there was no exit, that the shell was actually

00:12:20.169 --> 00:12:22.730
found or the bullet was found in his skin. So

00:12:22.730 --> 00:12:24.830
that's where they're saying that it was a .30

00:12:24.830 --> 00:12:27.850
-06? .30 -06. Well, .30 -06 is the rifle that

00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:31.610
they found. Oh, but the shells. Yeah, and they

00:12:31.610 --> 00:12:34.610
they've confirmed around. It's the same thing.

00:12:34.909 --> 00:12:36.889
Is it that specific shell? I don't know guns

00:12:36.889 --> 00:12:39.730
very well, but. That shell has to be with that

00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:42.809
gun. That shell can't be from another gun. Well,

00:12:42.950 --> 00:12:45.750
I don't. So your thing is there's ballistics.

00:12:46.029 --> 00:12:48.330
There's markings on the shell casing. There was

00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:51.269
no shell recovered. So ballistics can be run

00:12:51.269 --> 00:12:53.529
on the outside. They're kind of like the canister

00:12:53.529 --> 00:12:56.009
that the bullet sits in that could match it to

00:12:56.009 --> 00:12:58.389
the barrel. But there was no shell found. Normally

00:12:58.389 --> 00:13:01.009
that gets discharged like on the ground. Like

00:13:01.009 --> 00:13:03.850
where the shooter is. Right. Like if you're shooting

00:13:03.850 --> 00:13:06.149
like the semi -automatic or a handgun, as soon

00:13:06.149 --> 00:13:08.320
as you pull the trigger, that little each metal

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.639
pops out. Okay. Do you think he just grabbed

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.639
it for a dip? Yeah. With some of these, I think

00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.299
even like with the bolt action, and I'm really

00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:18.360
not like much of a gun person either, when you

00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.799
chamber it and you pull the trigger, the shell

00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.679
stays in there until you flip that bolt and open

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.940
it. So essentially he could have gotten rid of

00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:27.639
the shell wherever he wanted to. Yeah. They said,

00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.860
yes, the bullet size matches the .30 -06 is what

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:35.360
we're being told. Yeah. But obviously what you

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.120
see The wound in his neck and what that video

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.059
demonstrates is two very very different things.

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:45.879
So here's my theory That's crazy. I I've heard

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.039
and I don't know where don't ask me for sources.

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:53.500
I'm not a pro I've heard or read that that Charlie

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:56.879
would wear a bulletproof vest. Yes types of events.

00:13:56.940 --> 00:14:00.320
Yeah Not uncommon when you're in the public eye,

00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.659
but hear me out gang The angle of that bullet

00:14:04.659 --> 00:14:07.710
comes in This is very soft tissue. It doesn't

00:14:07.710 --> 00:14:09.870
necessarily need to like explode because there's

00:14:09.870 --> 00:14:12.330
just very little friction It's like you could

00:14:12.330 --> 00:14:17.649
just go in make a very small entry point But

00:14:17.649 --> 00:14:20.570
what if I haven't heard anybody say this? Yeah,

00:14:20.850 --> 00:14:23.610
what if it's coming down at an angle it enters

00:14:23.610 --> 00:14:26.330
and it catches the bulletproof vest on the back

00:14:26.330 --> 00:14:29.789
end and That's how it stays in Right. I don't

00:14:29.789 --> 00:14:33.659
know full prove s are like if there's the kevlar

00:14:33.659 --> 00:14:36.320
on the back also i really have no idea if it's

00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.639
just like front i'm sure it's both sides that

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.320
is the only thing that makes sense to me about

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.899
how the shell could have been found in his body

00:14:44.899 --> 00:14:46.860
still but don't you think they would have said

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:49.799
that by this point if they ever wanted to tell

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.799
us the truth yeah like cash patel director of

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.379
the fbi came out and said we got our guy we got

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:58.240
him we got the right one two hours later the

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.120
dude's wandering around the streets and it's

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.679
like oh Wasn't the guy it was lies immediate.

00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:07.159
Yeah, and there's there's so much on this I'm

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.700
sure most of you have heard a lot of the theories

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:11.779
But like the more, you know, the less, you know,

00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:14.759
you dive in and it just gets worse and worse

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.639
There's just more like outlandish crazy stuff

00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.940
even stuff. I was just reading tonight crazy

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:24.039
stuff all over the place, but I'm I'm not out

00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.220
on him being shot with a .36 round. I think it's

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:31.289
plausible that it it went in at an angle and

00:15:31.289 --> 00:15:33.350
maybe caught the bulletproof vest on the back

00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:35.490
end if there is protection on the back side.

00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:38.470
Or we're just being completely and utterly lied

00:15:38.470 --> 00:15:41.769
to. I wish in that video he would have demonstrated

00:15:41.769 --> 00:15:44.210
what it would look like if it went directly in

00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:47.169
the neck exactly where Charlie was hit. I don't

00:15:47.169 --> 00:15:49.669
think that this video was made in response to

00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:51.450
Charlie Clark. It may have been. I don't know.

00:15:51.529 --> 00:15:55.429
Oh, okay. But like I was talking to my dad. Yeah,

00:15:55.649 --> 00:15:57.929
I was talking to my dad about this how Like,

00:15:58.110 --> 00:16:00.070
people were already like, oh, the bullet wound's

00:16:00.070 --> 00:16:03.529
too small, this and that. My thought is like,

00:16:03.929 --> 00:16:07.250
it is a very rare thing for a human to be shot

00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:09.769
with a deer hunting rifle. Like, that's not what

00:16:09.769 --> 00:16:12.370
the school shootings use. Like, that's not like,

00:16:12.370 --> 00:16:14.970
you know, the gun -toting freaks that do these

00:16:14.970 --> 00:16:17.070
violent crimes. They're not usually using the

00:16:17.070 --> 00:16:20.070
hunting rifle. They're using semi -automatic,

00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:23.200
like, rifles that are meant to kill. I feel sick

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.799
about that. It's nuts. It's crazy stuff. We live

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.799
in a world where getting real, true information

00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.139
is impossible. And it's unfortunate. But what

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:36.899
I think has really just been kind of a blessing

00:16:36.899 --> 00:16:40.059
about all this craziness is it's pointed a lot

00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:42.899
of people to church. It's pointed a lot of people

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:46.220
to Jesus. I was not a Charlie Kirk guy before

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:48.259
all this happened. I'm not I would not say that

00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:50.700
I'm a Charlie Kirk guy. I don't agree with everything

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:55.559
that he shared politically, but I I love that

00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.879
his influence is like in his passing has been

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:03.580
purely good, at least for the people that can

00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:06.359
see that his life did not need to be taken. And

00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:09.000
yes, it's insane. It's insane that it happened.

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.539
But that all being said, 30 out six to the neck.

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:15.349
What do you guys think? Doctor confirmed bullet

00:17:15.349 --> 00:17:18.309
found in his body still so let us know what you

00:17:18.309 --> 00:17:21.730
guys think about about just the bullet Just just

00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:23.710
go there. We don't have to talk about motives.

00:17:23.710 --> 00:17:26.569
We don't talk about all stuff that I taught and

00:17:26.569 --> 00:17:31.529
if I were I Even want to like just a very minor

00:17:31.529 --> 00:17:34.970
plug on the subject. We we are very much Christian

00:17:34.970 --> 00:17:37.759
people. We are very religious people, and we

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.460
always have been. This is the culture that we

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:42.180
were raised in. But I empathize for people that

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:44.640
don't have any religious background. It's not

00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.539
so much. It doesn't so much have to be Jesus,

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.759
even though Jesus saves and there's such a great

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.900
message in his life. And we love Jesus. I just

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:54.059
like for the people that don't have any religious

00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:56.539
convictions, it's just surrendering to something

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:59.680
larger than yourself. We're not the center of

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.519
the universe and the people like. It's easy to

00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.579
get trapped in this. The world revolves around

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:06.859
you and what's important to you and your religious

00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:09.900
views. It's like, no, what's really important

00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:11.880
is like being able to look at the person next

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.400
to you and be like, I love you. I might not agree

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.900
with everything you say, but like I love you

00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:19.519
and I'm going to be there for you despite whatever

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.319
differences we might have about anything. None

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.319
of that stuff matters. It's all secondary to

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.319
we're a community of humans and like we should

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:31.119
be looking out for the people next to us and

00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.299
finding more common ground than fighting and

00:18:34.299 --> 00:18:37.119
sitting in an echo chambering and getting further

00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:39.819
and further apart on stuff that we'll never be

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:42.240
able to change. We'll never be able to change

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.799
any of this really dumb stuff that we fight about.

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:48.319
Yeah, definitely. And while we're doing that,

00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:50.539
these people are just lying to us the entire

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:52.559
time and just getting wealthier. So that's fun.

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.279
We live up for us. True words have not been spoken.

00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.710
Stick with it. the American dollar. I could plug

00:19:00.710 --> 00:19:03.849
a hundred podcasts I'd listen to. If you guys

00:19:03.849 --> 00:19:06.630
want, just message us. I'll give you all the

00:19:06.630 --> 00:19:08.650
details. There's so many things that I've listened

00:19:08.650 --> 00:19:11.230
to, but man, just be good to people. That's the

00:19:11.230 --> 00:19:15.250
message of all this chaos. Be good. Submit to

00:19:15.250 --> 00:19:17.930
higher power. It's not all about you. I want

00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:22.190
to repent some more. Let's go, Joe. Church Joe's

00:19:22.190 --> 00:19:24.170
come out to play. So now we're going to go to

00:19:24.170 --> 00:19:26.289
my conspiracy that I was learning about. This

00:19:26.289 --> 00:19:29.359
is called the Dead Internet. theory. Okay, so

00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:31.299
let's talk about one of the creepiest internet

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:34.039
conspiracies out there, the dead internet theory.

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.440
The idea is simple, but kind of terrifying. It

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:39.700
says that most of what you see online isn't made

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:42.539
by people anymore. It's bots talking to bots,

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.380
AI generating posts and algorithms pushing same

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:48.519
recycled content to us over and over. Basically,

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.420
the internet we grew up with is dead. This theory

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:54.140
first started making the rounds around 2016 when

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:57.319
a poster named Illuminati Pirate shared it on

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.200
some message boards. According to Wikipedia,

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:02.099
he claimed that almost all online activity is

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:04.900
fake. Bots creating posts, bots replying to those

00:20:04.900 --> 00:20:07.640
posts, and then algorithms deciding what we actually

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.460
get to see. It's not just random spam either.

00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:12.759
The idea is that it's coordinated, controlled

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.319
by governments or corporations to shape how we

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.200
see. Now, people online started noticing things

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.200
that felt off. The Guardian wrote about it recently

00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.319
and described this eerie vibe. The web feels

00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.109
more sterile, more repetitive, like there are

00:20:26.109 --> 00:20:29.450
fewer genuine voices and more polished, manufactured

00:20:29.450 --> 00:20:31.910
content. Some even pointed to examples like the

00:20:31.910 --> 00:20:35.690
shrimp Jesus meme, literally AI -generated images

00:20:35.690 --> 00:20:38.380
of shrimp combined with religious art. These

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:40.519
bizarre posts got thousands of likes and comments

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.559
but when you look closely those accounts don't

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:44.839
really feel human. There are real numbers that

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.000
make this theory sound a little less crazy too.

00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.339
Studies show that almost half of all web traffic

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:53.799
is bots. Add in AI tools that can churn out endless

00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.099
text, images, even fake reviews and suddenly

00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:58.240
the idea that bots could be flooding our feeds

00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.640
doesn't sound so far -fetched. I pulled a couple

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.539
quotes straight from Reddit threads when people

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:05.059
were debating this because they were really able

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:07.910
to capture the creep factor. One person explained

00:21:07.910 --> 00:21:10.430
it like this. The entire internet is all bots

00:21:10.430 --> 00:21:12.329
talking to each other. There are no people on

00:21:12.329 --> 00:21:14.509
the internet. Another user added, places where

00:21:14.509 --> 00:21:16.910
verifying your human is mandatory will become

00:21:16.910 --> 00:21:19.349
the last bastions of real content. And honestly,

00:21:19.589 --> 00:21:22.509
doesn't that already feel true? Think about CAPTCHA.

00:21:22.650 --> 00:21:24.970
Think about private discords or even live video

00:21:24.970 --> 00:21:27.130
chats. Those are the places where you know you're

00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:29.690
dealing with real people. But of course, not

00:21:29.690 --> 00:21:32.569
everyone buys into it. Skeptics say it's exaggerated.

00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:35.539
Sure. bots exist, but they're not replacing humans

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:38.940
completely. Someone on our NoSurf wrote, I personally

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:40.740
think the internet, especially social media,

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.859
is saturated with bots and fakery, but there

00:21:42.859 --> 00:21:45.359
are plenty of real people around too. So maybe

00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.319
the internet isn't dead, but it's definitely

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.599
crowded. And honestly, here's the part that freaks

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:51.680
me out. What if you're scrolling right now and

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.940
half the likes, half the comments, even half

00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:57.119
the accounts you follow aren't real? So my question

00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.579
for you is, do you think there is the dead internet

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:01.940
theory? Do you think that's a real thing? Yeah,

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:04.559
it's So I don't the dead internet theory. I've

00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.059
never heard it categorized in that way. Really?

00:22:08.339 --> 00:22:13.299
100, 100 percent. There are bots that are just

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:16.900
triggering the echo chamber. Yes. There's no

00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:19.940
doubt about it. 100 percent. I have to say they're

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:22.880
so cruel and governments are doing it. And it's

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.380
it is a very it's a conspiracy, but it's a very

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:27.859
real conspiracy. And anybody could do it. You

00:22:27.859 --> 00:22:31.359
order bots to like interact with or promote a

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.940
certain idea. And it's like, it could be anything.

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:37.700
They agree with you, and they say, they champion

00:22:37.700 --> 00:22:39.839
you. They're like, couldn't have said it better,

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.400
blah, blah, blah. Like, you're absolutely right.

00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.440
Or it's coming to attack whatever was said. Like,

00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.279
trying to stir up that whole debate thing. Yeah,

00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.319
the engagement. It is absolutely true that there

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.460
are tons and tons of bots on the internet. The

00:22:57.460 --> 00:23:00.180
freaking, the bots, you guys are jerks. And the

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:03.079
people ordering the bots, Leave the old people

00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.339
alone. Yeah, they're gonna get it so bad. So

00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:08.480
dirty this guy He sent me the same screenshot

00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.539
three different times where a fake Elon Musk

00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:15.059
profile has a blue check mark in the display

00:23:15.059 --> 00:23:19.339
photo and it's why the title is just you on and

00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:22.890
it's it's like reposted your tweet, like my dad

00:23:22.890 --> 00:23:25.769
replied to something, like, sharing his opinion,

00:23:25.809 --> 00:23:27.589
and he's sending me these text messages, like,

00:23:27.869 --> 00:23:30.130
I've never shared my opinion publicly, I've never

00:23:30.130 --> 00:23:34.250
had strong convictions, but, like, did Elon repost

00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:37.829
this? And I'd be like, no, I'm sorry, Dad, that's

00:23:37.829 --> 00:23:41.309
like some bot from somewhere, that's not a real

00:23:41.309 --> 00:23:44.710
person. I'm dead. And he sent it to me multiple

00:23:44.710 --> 00:23:46.769
times, and I think even different iterations

00:23:46.769 --> 00:23:50.180
of some fake Elon Musk account. has just been

00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:54.460
targeting this poor fella. He's got his, he's

00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:56.539
gained, he's posted a little bit on X, he's got

00:23:56.539 --> 00:24:00.720
about 38 followers. Wow. The bots, they just,

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:03.079
they're going after him. Go follow him, guys.

00:24:04.180 --> 00:24:07.640
Yeah, I don't even know his at, I'm not on X,

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.839
but regardless, the dang bots. They're all over

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.559
the internet and they're just out here hurting

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.400
the boomers. I feel like with the dead internet

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.339
theory, though, it just like really made me feel

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:21.339
like, oh, like, it's so true. Social media does

00:24:21.339 --> 00:24:24.579
have such like a sterile like it's so recycled.

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:26.660
Sterile is such a perfect word for it because

00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:30.039
that's truly just like it's like a freaking Petri

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.900
dish. A lot of it is just echo chamber material.

00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:35.380
Yeah. It's like you're hearing the same junk.

00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:39.480
That's a good way. And like. In our defense like

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:42.480
we just shared the Charlie Kirk take like as

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.720
if that's not been your entire feed for the last

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:49.740
14 days, but so here's your Cycled content again,

00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.420
but it's different Joe Rogan clearly believes

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:57.119
that like simple things like I mean just humanity

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:59.700
Things like doing stand -up comedy or having

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:02.000
conversations with people even podcasts where

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:05.079
you're interacting like this Like you can't really

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:08.259
replicate the true humanity of it. Yeah. That's

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:10.900
going to be valuable forever. This next one,

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:13.339
I had to do a little bit of digging because there's

00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:15.339
not very many conspiracies that I haven't heard

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:18.460
of. This was new. Really? You ready for the title?

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:21.539
This just comes from the subreddit conspiracy.

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.119
Oh, okay. It's a little older. This was not posted

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.980
within the last week. We'll put it that way.

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:30.140
Okay. Title says, my uncle swears something impossible

00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:33.339
happened at the World Trade Center debris site.

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.529
He's kept it bottled up until now. Hmm. throw

00:25:36.529 --> 00:25:40.109
away for obvious reasons. My uncle, who's a retired

00:25:40.109 --> 00:25:43.670
NYC sanitation supervisor, told me a story last

00:25:43.670 --> 00:25:46.190
night he's apparently held in for over 20 years.

00:25:46.930 --> 00:25:48.990
He worked crews sorting debris near the south

00:25:48.990 --> 00:25:52.009
pile after 9 -11. He said guys didn't talk about

00:25:52.009 --> 00:25:54.289
what they saw down there, too much trauma, too

00:25:54.289 --> 00:25:56.890
many eyes watching, but after some drinks he

00:25:56.890 --> 00:25:58.970
finally spilled something that sounded nothing

00:25:58.970 --> 00:26:01.950
like the usual horror stories. According to him,

00:26:02.690 --> 00:26:05.839
his crew's spotted a small steel box buried under

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.099
twisted beams about the size of a drawer, wrapped

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:11.660
in oil cloth and duct tape, and it was way too

00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:14.220
clean compared to the wreckage. Before they could

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:17.440
touch it, a black SUV rolled up. Two men in suits

00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:20.640
got out, showed IDs, and told everyone to step

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:24.680
back. Then it got weird. He says the air got

00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:28.299
heavy, like static in your skull, and then this

00:26:28.299 --> 00:26:32.099
white light erupted around the box. Not a spotlight.

00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:35.140
He said it came from inside the thing. He remembers

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:38.079
feeling frozen and then a burning zap across

00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:40.839
the stomach and then nothing. When he came to,

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:43.240
the box and the SUV were gone, and so were the

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:45.680
two coworkers that were standing closest to it.

00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:48.539
Here's the part that shook me. He says he later

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:50.700
found out those two workers had been reassigned

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:53.740
off site the very next day. Their names disappeared

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:55.700
from crew sheets, almost like they never worked

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:58.119
there at all. He had asked around. Some people

00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:59.880
remembered them, but nobody would talk about

00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.640
where they'd gone. It was like they'd been pulled

00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:05.299
out of reality and paper trail scrub. When he

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:07.740
woke up that day, he had a perfect circular mark

00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:11.119
on his belly, like a burn or an injection scar.

00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.380
Since then, he's had vivid dreams of bright hallways

00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:16.900
and being restrained while figures studied him.

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:23.720
Yo, aliens in the World Trade Center? Come on.

00:27:25.470 --> 00:27:27.950
He doesn't call them aliens outright, but that's

00:27:27.950 --> 00:27:30.049
what he's describing. He said he's kept quiet

00:27:30.049 --> 00:27:32.369
because the official line was, quote, Keep your

00:27:32.369 --> 00:27:35.210
head down and do the work. He's not a story guy.

00:27:35.950 --> 00:27:38.049
He's the type to remember truck numbers and coffee

00:27:38.049 --> 00:27:40.410
breaks, not talk about blowing boxes and missing

00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:42.910
coworkers. That's what makes me wonder if there's

00:27:42.910 --> 00:27:45.710
more to this than just a stress string. I have

00:27:45.710 --> 00:27:49.569
never heard of aliens in 9 -11. I've heard other

00:27:49.569 --> 00:27:51.970
conspiracies about 9 -11, but I've never heard

00:27:51.970 --> 00:27:54.259
anything about aliens. I'm just sure there's

00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:58.460
more out there of like that. Well, apparently

00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:02.859
that's crazy. Maybe this guy was just like tripping

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:06.099
on acid. That's cleaning up all that wreckage.

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:11.880
I'm sure about my god. Reasonable response. That's

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.579
crazy. A sanitation worker like imagine he's

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:16.480
cleaning up the World Trade Center and all of

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.079
a sudden there's this like thing that an SUV.

00:28:19.450 --> 00:28:22.170
Come on. There's always an SUV with alien stories.

00:28:22.329 --> 00:28:26.890
There's always but like SUV like or a van. Maybe

00:28:26.890 --> 00:28:30.849
a UFO. Maybe like the thing like hovers down

00:28:30.849 --> 00:28:33.609
like you see the orb in the sky and then all

00:28:33.609 --> 00:28:35.849
of a sudden it's like descending and then you're

00:28:35.849 --> 00:28:40.049
in the pillar. Stop. I don't know. That's crazy.

00:28:40.289 --> 00:28:42.609
Never been abducted, but I don't think I believe

00:28:42.609 --> 00:28:45.150
it. I don't believe the conspiracy, but you know,

00:28:45.309 --> 00:28:48.559
hey. No, I'll draw the line of 9 -11 conspiracies.

00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:50.279
I'm actually going to stay away from that entirely.

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.960
But Joe Rogan's been going back and forth on

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.200
aliens a little bit lately. Really? Does he believe

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.400
in them? He's been like an active believer for

00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:02.559
a long time. And then he's like, kind of like

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:05.759
not totally sure. Oh, wow. So he's kind of going

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:07.380
back on it. He's kind of going back. But then

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:09.960
I listened to his episode today and he sounded

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.609
a little bit more back on track. He's all over

00:29:12.609 --> 00:29:15.130
the place. But come on, Joe, you know, it's cool

00:29:15.130 --> 00:29:17.829
about somebody like Joe or really anybody that's

00:29:17.829 --> 00:29:22.710
named Joe. I mean, what's in a name? No, but

00:29:22.710 --> 00:29:26.329
I appreciate people that are willing to change

00:29:26.329 --> 00:29:29.309
their mind. Yeah, that's true. That's a hard

00:29:29.309 --> 00:29:31.690
quality to find in this day and age. It's an

00:29:31.690 --> 00:29:34.910
important one. So yeah, I am one of those people

00:29:34.910 --> 00:29:38.410
that is working on that. It's to your defense.

00:29:38.549 --> 00:29:41.109
It's like you're probably amongst. A lot of people

00:29:41.109 --> 00:29:43.630
I'm that way with most things. Yeah, you are

00:29:43.630 --> 00:29:46.730
I do I do like to like learn new things and be

00:29:46.730 --> 00:29:49.109
like Maybe it's different than we thought. Yeah,

00:29:49.109 --> 00:29:51.710
you just like to go against what I think. Yeah,

00:29:51.710 --> 00:29:56.910
I just want to argue I Missed the opportunity

00:29:56.910 --> 00:29:59.589
to be like, no, I don't. Yeah. Yeah that there

00:29:59.589 --> 00:30:02.829
you go. Hey, you're growing Well, this is my

00:30:02.829 --> 00:30:05.670
last one and this is a conspiracy that I think

00:30:05.670 --> 00:30:09.720
we have all talked about in our lifetime This

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:16.079
is the moon landing hoax. Oh, this is fake. Really?

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:19.099
I just mean in general. Never heard of this.

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.000
Okay. So let me start off with a question. What

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.380
if one of the greatest achievements in human

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:29.339
history never actually happened? What if that

00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:32.200
famous moment, Neil Armstrong stepping onto the

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:35.299
surface of the moon in 1969, the words one small

00:30:35.299 --> 00:30:38.869
step for man. One giant leap for mankind was

00:30:38.869 --> 00:30:41.549
really just a Hollywood production filmed right

00:30:41.549 --> 00:30:43.670
here on Earth. That's the heart of one of the

00:30:43.670 --> 00:30:45.890
most famous conspiracy theories of all time,

00:30:45.930 --> 00:30:50.750
the moon landing hoax. So, July 20th, 1969. Millions

00:30:50.750 --> 00:30:53.529
of people watched Neil Armstrong take that first

00:30:53.529 --> 00:30:55.829
step, but almost immediately skeptics started

00:30:55.829 --> 00:30:58.490
whispering, what if it was all fake? What if

00:30:58.490 --> 00:31:00.730
the United States staged the moon landing on

00:31:00.730 --> 00:31:03.150
a soundstage just to beat the Soviets in the

00:31:03.150 --> 00:31:06.390
space race? According to Live Science, Polls

00:31:06.390 --> 00:31:08.769
show that even today, about 6 % of Americans

00:31:08.769 --> 00:31:11.430
believe the moon landing never happened. That's

00:31:11.430 --> 00:31:15.750
like low. Six? Six percent. That has to be at

00:31:15.750 --> 00:31:19.789
least like 36. At least. That might not sound

00:31:19.789 --> 00:31:21.970
huge, but that's millions of people and their

00:31:21.970 --> 00:31:24.849
arguments are surprisingly detailed. One of the

00:31:24.849 --> 00:31:27.589
biggest claims, the flag. In the video, it looks

00:31:27.589 --> 00:31:29.670
like the American flag is rippling even though

00:31:29.670 --> 00:31:32.750
there's no air or wind on the moon. Believers

00:31:32.750 --> 00:31:35.430
say it's proof there was a fan blowing on a soundstage.

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.859
NASA says, nope, the astronauts used a telescoping

00:31:38.859 --> 00:31:40.859
rod to hold the flag out when they twisted it

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:43.019
into the ground. It caused a ripple that just

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:47.339
stayed there. Another claim, the shadows. Conspiracy

00:31:47.339 --> 00:31:49.500
theorists point to photos where shadows don't

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:52.210
look parallel. They argued that it means multiple

00:31:52.210 --> 00:31:55.430
studio lights were used, but MythBusters actually

00:31:55.430 --> 00:31:58.509
tested this, recreating the scene with one light

00:31:58.509 --> 00:32:01.069
source, like the sun, and sure enough, uneven

00:32:01.069 --> 00:32:03.869
terrain makes shadows look non -parallel. There's

00:32:03.869 --> 00:32:06.009
also the missing stars theory. In all those photos

00:32:06.009 --> 00:32:08.390
from the moon, the sky looks black with no stars.

00:32:08.710 --> 00:32:11.049
Shouldn't space be filled with them? Skeptics

00:32:11.049 --> 00:32:14.589
love this one. NASA's answer? The cameras were

00:32:14.589 --> 00:32:16.799
set for daylight exposure. The surface of the

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.019
moon is so bright from sunlight that stars simply

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:21.359
didn't show up on film. And then there's this

00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:24.000
idea that it was all filmed by Stanley Kubrick,

00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:28.180
the director of 2001, A Space Odyssey. This one's

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:30.579
more tongue -in -cheek, but it's spread everywhere

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:33.539
online. People claim Kubrick confessed in an

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:36.119
interview before he died. Spoiler alert. That

00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.440
video is a parody made by a filmmaker, not a

00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:40.660
real confession. But what makes this conspiracy

00:32:40.660 --> 00:32:44.000
so fascinating isn't the science, it's the persistence.

00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:46.980
Teen Vogue wrote about how the moon hoax remains

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:48.940
one of the most talked about conspiracy theories

00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:51.559
across generations. Like even with decades of

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.819
evidence with moon rocks, satellites, telescopes,

00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:56.859
even China's recent moon landings, people still

00:32:56.859 --> 00:33:00.319
cling to the idea that it was fake. I found a

00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.720
reddit thread where someone said, My dad is a

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:05.180
moon landing denier, and no matter how much evidence

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:08.420
I show him, he says it's all propaganda. Another

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:10.700
user replied, I was there. I watched it live.

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:12.960
If it was fake, they had the best special effects

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.440
team of all time. So maybe the real question

00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.799
is, why do people want to believe it was fake?

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:21.380
Is it about mistrust of government? Is it about

00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:24.019
liking the idea that we've been fooled? Or is

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:26.319
it just more fun to think we're living in a coverup?

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:28.680
Either way, one small step for man turned into

00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.029
one giant leap for conspiracy theories. That

00:33:32.029 --> 00:33:35.970
is the fundamental conspiracy theory that is

00:33:35.970 --> 00:33:39.450
Absolutely, it never happened Okay, but I feel

00:33:39.450 --> 00:33:40.970
like it was crazy though because then I was doing

00:33:40.970 --> 00:33:42.809
all this research on it obviously you hear me

00:33:42.809 --> 00:33:46.890
tell the story like there is Facts to prove what

00:33:46.890 --> 00:33:49.089
people are saying like the shadows or whatever

00:33:49.089 --> 00:33:51.809
like they're able to like combat it with an answer

00:33:51.809 --> 00:33:55.970
But I just still feel like it's fake Look for

00:33:55.970 --> 00:33:59.549
me. It will always it will only ever be about

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:03.259
common sense and what what makes sense I don't

00:34:03.259 --> 00:34:05.339
know enough I don't know what freaking camera

00:34:05.339 --> 00:34:08.500
they used okay so their exposure settings were

00:34:08.500 --> 00:34:12.500
set so that them being absolutely blazed by the

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:15.000
Sun made it so that stars weren't visible that

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.300
seems as you can see the darkness of the space

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:24.289
yeah that seems hard to believe. But maybe that's

00:34:24.289 --> 00:34:26.989
true. I don't know. The definitive thing for

00:34:26.989 --> 00:34:31.170
me that makes me think it was fake is 1968? Nine,

00:34:31.250 --> 00:34:36.110
I believe. 1968, 1969. Why have we not gone back?

00:34:36.469 --> 00:34:40.130
Exactly. We are United States. You think Trump

00:34:40.130 --> 00:34:43.110
as our president is not like, let's go back and

00:34:43.110 --> 00:34:45.110
let's prove to everyone that we're the greatest.

00:34:45.150 --> 00:34:47.929
We can do all these things. Of all the presidents,

00:34:48.030 --> 00:34:49.949
he's not even thinking twice about doing that.

00:34:50.130 --> 00:34:52.880
Well, it's like in these ultra rich people, they

00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.420
want to figure out how to make life on Mars.

00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:58.320
Like that's we're focused on something completely

00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.380
different. Meanwhile, what can we just like,

00:35:01.420 --> 00:35:03.800
I'll do anything on the moon. Get up there. Get

00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:06.219
up there and fly a drone. I don't know. Do something.

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:09.699
Yeah. Because why? Yeah. I've heard people say

00:35:09.699 --> 00:35:12.639
it's too expensive. Like, do you know how much

00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.579
money we blow on other things? We put money is

00:35:15.579 --> 00:35:17.739
not real. We freaking print it. It's numbers

00:35:17.739 --> 00:35:20.710
on a screen like it's I don't buy it. We can

00:35:20.710 --> 00:35:22.789
just keep going into more and more debt. The

00:35:22.789 --> 00:35:25.409
moon landing is fake in my opinion. You guys

00:35:25.409 --> 00:35:28.230
tell us what you think. Maybe we're dumb. Anyways,

00:35:28.650 --> 00:35:30.210
yeah, everything's a conspiracy at this point.

00:35:30.429 --> 00:35:32.929
Maybe birds are fake. Maybe birds are fake. I

00:35:32.929 --> 00:35:34.670
actually saw one today flying when I was driving

00:35:34.670 --> 00:35:36.630
and I thought it was a drone. So there's that.

00:35:37.150 --> 00:35:39.269
I was cleaning a pool today. This is no joke.

00:35:39.369 --> 00:35:41.349
I was cleaning a pool today and I was checking

00:35:41.349 --> 00:35:44.789
a pump basket and I heard the loudest bird squawking.

00:35:44.889 --> 00:35:47.800
I thought it was like right on top of me. Oh

00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.199
my God. No joke. I was like, yo, that is terrifying.

00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:54.639
And like had to get the pump basket out. It was

00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:57.619
like locked in. Rotated up. The bird made a few

00:35:57.619 --> 00:36:00.000
noises. Looked up. I'm not even just saying this

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:02.320
for the episode. There was no bird there. Oh,

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:05.719
I'm completely serious. I work in like a movie.

00:36:05.780 --> 00:36:09.119
It flew as it was going. We landscape backyards.

00:36:09.460 --> 00:36:12.130
Like, yeah, it could be anything, but. I was

00:36:12.130 --> 00:36:14.949
very curious. It was not a salmon. Really? It's

00:36:14.949 --> 00:36:17.309
like a rich person's like fake bird on the corner

00:36:17.309 --> 00:36:19.710
just trying to scare you or watching you. Yeah.

00:36:19.710 --> 00:36:23.670
Or like some extravagant pet. Yeah. Some exotic

00:36:23.670 --> 00:36:26.809
parrot. I don't know. My gosh. What? Glad you're

00:36:26.809 --> 00:36:29.469
safe. That's it. I, guys, I love conspiracy theories.
