WEBVTT 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.599 From the unexplained to the mundane, come join 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:30.609 us on a Journey to the Fringe. We are your podcast 00:00:30.609 --> 00:00:33.070 hosts who exclusively speak English and just 00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:35.009 power forward with that, Taylor and Chelsea. 00:00:35.429 --> 00:00:38.789 Here today, following up on our Weekly World 00:00:38.789 --> 00:00:41.850 News episode. I'm not really sure how this episode's 00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:45.210 gonna go with how we left off the first episode, 00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:49.210 but we will see. I know you're all looking forward 00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:51.909 to this week's episode. After we covered the 00:00:51.909 --> 00:00:55.009 Weekly World News last week, where do you think 00:00:55.009 --> 00:00:58.460 this episode is gonna go? Where is there to go 00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:00.979 after we covered the Weekly World News in its 00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:04.239 entirety? This week, while it seems like there's 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.760 nowhere to go, we're going to dive into some 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.219 of the popular news stories that the Weekly World 00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:13.540 News covered over his lifetime. It's going to 00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:16.939 be an even funner episode. Oh, good. I am very 00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:19.379 excited for this because they had some absolute 00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:22.879 hits that you just wander by and like maybe, 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:28.390 no, I should never buy this magazine. It's a 00:01:28.390 --> 00:01:32.209 good article title. They were eye catchers. As 00:01:32.209 --> 00:01:34.650 we talked about last week, this is one of the 00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:37.290 rare things that have stuck into my mind out 00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:40.209 of the my numbingly doll trips to the grocery 00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:42.750 store. I do have to wonder, despite how good 00:01:42.750 --> 00:01:45.569 their headlines were, ever felt the need to buy 00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:48.109 their magazine. I wonder if anybody ever did. 00:01:48.349 --> 00:01:51.030 Just like, no, I have to buy that. No, they did. 00:01:51.290 --> 00:01:54.750 They did. OK, because they stocked it and they 00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:57.650 sold millions of publications of it. But you 00:01:57.650 --> 00:02:00.280 think anybody picked it up just for one. headline 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.620 yeah you know what they had to they had to they 00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:06.480 had to have done one -offs they probably had 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.879 a large loyal base it's a mystery to me because 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.819 i don't know one single person that ever picked 00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:17.039 up either one not even a point it should be a 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.800 poll actually i i wonder if you listening answer 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.759 in the comments did you ever buy one do you know 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.840 anyone that ever purchased one of these magazines 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.930 and you found it in their home And if so, what 00:02:29.930 --> 00:02:32.550 was your reaction? I don't even know what I would 00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:35.490 do if I found it at a relative's house. I'd probably 00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:38.430 read it, but I'd be like, finally. Yeah, and 00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:40.090 then you wouldn't mention it to them either. 00:02:40.210 --> 00:02:43.569 I don't think. I don't know. I probably not. 00:02:43.669 --> 00:02:45.669 I think I'd just pick it up like it was normal. 00:02:46.229 --> 00:02:48.169 Do you think people who like had copies of the 00:02:48.169 --> 00:02:50.490 weekly world news left it in their bathroom just 00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:52.930 for like a sparking conversation thing? Do you 00:02:52.930 --> 00:02:54.930 think though? Because I don't know that I ever 00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:58.349 saw a MIG. Hold on. Let me think about my whole 00:02:58.349 --> 00:03:04.569 entire life. No, no, I did see mostly at our 00:03:04.569 --> 00:03:07.389 house. They're not magazine racks in some people's 00:03:07.389 --> 00:03:10.330 bathrooms. Just our house, I think is where I 00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:17.069 saw. OK. No, I don't think. Did I? I don't know. 00:03:17.150 --> 00:03:19.909 No, I don't know. It's just too long ago. Did 00:03:19.909 --> 00:03:23.370 you see them there? I remember what was the name 00:03:23.370 --> 00:03:26.590 of that the bathroom reader in bathrooms a lot. 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.879 Yeah. Which man, the smartphone had to have hit 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.020 them hard. Oh yeah. That would be an interesting 00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:36.900 one, actually. Nothing we'll ever cover, ever. 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.539 But same with no shampoo bottles that didn't 00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:44.439 impact anybody. No. Okay. No, that was just like 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.319 kind of a last resort. Maybe we should start 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.979 the episode. Okay, the first one was the Page 00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:53.020 5 Honey. And I took this totally different than 00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:56.189 when I actually read it. Each week a different 00:03:56.189 --> 00:03:59.810 model was featured on page 5 and on the back. 00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:03.389 She was usually wearing a bikini and the description 00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:07.430 of her was printed, which is bizarre. You couldn't 00:04:07.430 --> 00:04:11.919 just... Look at her, because you would also assume 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.360 that the person was not blind, also reading the 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.079 description. This feature ended after the Halloween 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.860 issue of 2006. I believe from the last episode, 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.339 did they not close? That would have been the 00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.839 last episode. 2007. Oh, like right near the end. 00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:30.800 Episode I call it. Chelsea, you know what? Sorry, 00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:33.399 just before we move on, does that not remind 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.610 you? Like, I feel like the sun. the newspaper 00:04:36.610 --> 00:04:40.230 magazine yes our newspaper we have like the model 00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:43.410 that they would put in your the pages and weekly 00:04:43.410 --> 00:04:46.709 world news finishes in the sun so i'm wondering 00:04:46.709 --> 00:04:49.870 if they stole that from weekly world news oh 00:04:49.870 --> 00:04:53.910 that's so true and you just totally unlocked 00:04:53.910 --> 00:04:56.709 a memory that i totally forgot about was the 00:04:56.709 --> 00:05:00.110 thing and they totally did do that so it very 00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:03.319 well might have Or who even knows that might 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.279 have just been a thing that was the thing to 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.079 do in publications at that time. I don't know. 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.040 I was too young. Photography was not readily 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.160 available. Yeah. I wonder which one did it first. 00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:16.420 It's a curiosity. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, that 00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:19.139 actually didn't come up in the research at all. 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.600 Next one is alive. Also a good idea for an episode. 00:05:25.019 --> 00:05:27.720 One of the many other recurring subjects was 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.470 the occasionally alive cover story. Most often, 00:05:31.629 --> 00:05:33.810 the story pertained to some sort of creature 00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:39.029 such as Mummy, prehistoric creature, or occasionally 00:05:39.029 --> 00:05:42.250 a human who had been frozen in a block of ice. 00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:48.610 Example, Santa Claus. Oh, okay. I know. I was 00:05:48.610 --> 00:05:51.230 expecting Walt Disney after that one, but it 00:05:51.230 --> 00:05:54.170 was Santa. Or a caveman. I was really waiting 00:05:54.170 --> 00:05:58.170 for a caveman. Which, we don't know for sure 00:05:58.170 --> 00:06:01.149 if that is different from Santa. I guess, sure. 00:06:01.589 --> 00:06:04.550 Another subject often tackled by Weekly World 00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:08.189 News is the reemergence of many prominent figures 00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:11.110 believed to be deceased, including Hank Williams, 00:06:11.430 --> 00:06:14.750 Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, Adolf Hitler, 00:06:15.089 --> 00:06:18.269 and Michael Jackson. Survivors of the Titanic 00:06:18.269 --> 00:06:21.550 and the Hindenburg were also occasionally featured. 00:06:21.850 --> 00:06:24.970 Among the most frequently printed reports, those 00:06:24.970 --> 00:06:46.480 asserting that Elvis is alive. The Weekly World 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.500 News frequently reported Elvis sightings with 00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:52.480 a series of articles claiming that Elvis Presley 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.420 had faked his death and had recently emerged 00:06:55.420 --> 00:06:58.560 from years of seclusion to prepare for a comeback. 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.560 Obviously, altered photos purported to show a 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.579 grey -haired balding Elvis sneaking into a movie 00:07:05.579 --> 00:07:08.480 theatre and coming out of a Burger King restaurant 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.220 when the US Postal Service conducted a poll to 00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:14.839 determine the design of the Elvis commemorative 00:07:18.310 --> 00:07:31.689 Man, you know what's crazy, Chelsea? I just looked 00:07:31.689 --> 00:07:35.790 at that. Elvis was born in 35, so Elvis is still 00:07:35.790 --> 00:07:39.230 alive theories could still be going on. Technically, 00:07:39.449 --> 00:07:41.689 yeah. Have you seen a good one though recently? 00:07:41.930 --> 00:07:45.069 No, I don't know. No, I think let's create the 00:07:45.069 --> 00:07:47.870 people who actually like Elvis is past weekly. 00:07:48.029 --> 00:07:51.029 Let's just bring up the website and see if it's 00:07:51.029 --> 00:07:54.009 still this is what this episode is for. Let's 00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:57.050 just take a look. Have you? Hold on. Don't go 00:07:57.050 --> 00:07:59.370 to the website. Well, you could go to the website. 00:07:59.610 --> 00:08:02.910 Elvis, the Elvis website. No weekly world news. 00:08:02.930 --> 00:08:04.930 Oh, I'm Googling. Elvis is alive. Oh, hold on. 00:08:04.990 --> 00:08:08.170 Hold on. Twenty twenty one. Found an article 00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:12.160 for 2020. It's a very chunky guy. Oh, oh, oh, 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.519 here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.899 I got a good one. 2024. You ready for this headline? 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.160 Steve Albini. I don't know who that is. And the 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.399 ghost of Elvis team up for a musical collab. 00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:28.279 Oh, shit. That just reminded me of Bubba Hotep. 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.339 I'm not going to read the article, but this is 00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:34.240 the most recent thing we have for Elvis. However, 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.220 if we look at May 28, 2012, Elvis's tomb is empty. 00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:44.299 August 16 2011 Elvis spotted on Obama's bus to 00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:48.899 This is golden. All right, what's your 2021 my 00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:54.220 2021 one second here? It is Elvis goes to Graceland 00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:58.419 with Michael Jackson August 16 2010 once Michael 00:08:58.419 --> 00:09:01.440 Jackson spotted with Elvis Oh this one. They 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.759 really like July 1st 2009. This is express .co 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.820 .uk Elvis alive the king caught on camera at 00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:12.720 Graceland and gave secret signal to fans. September 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.899 21, 2020. This is not an Elvis spotted, but I 00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:19.200 really want to read this. January 7, 2009, top 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.399 20 surprising Elvis facts. I'm just really curious 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.799 about what they have for surprising Elvis facts 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.679 on here. Number one, Elvis's income dropped from 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.879 $400 ,000 a month to $78 a month after he was 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.500 drafted into the U .S. Army on December 19, 1957. 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:39.080 OK, that seems legit. Number two, the King's 00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:42.500 entourage were known collectively as the Memphis 00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:45.759 Mafia. All sported diamond and gold rings given 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.240 to them by Elvis on which a thunderbolt in the 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.240 letters TCB had been imprinted. TCB stood for 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.669 taking care of business. Number three, the Beatles 00:09:55.669 --> 00:09:59.230 visited Elvis at his home in California in 1965, 00:09:59.669 --> 00:10:03.529 joining him in an informal jam session that tragically 00:10:03.529 --> 00:10:07.070 wasn't recorded. Number four, Elvis called Milk 00:10:07.070 --> 00:10:13.490 Butch. Okay. Okay, I'm just gonna have to start 00:10:13.490 --> 00:10:17.330 calling Milk that. Number five. else gave away 00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:20.230 so many cars, including Corvettes, Cadillacs 00:10:20.230 --> 00:10:24.850 and Linkings that nobody butch. Is that a good 00:10:24.850 --> 00:10:27.929 thing or a bad thing in like this? Oh, no, I 00:10:27.929 --> 00:10:30.850 don't know that nobody has ever been able to 00:10:30.850 --> 00:10:33.950 come up with an accurate count. Number six, the 00:10:33.950 --> 00:10:38.090 King's last car was a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado, 00:10:38.090 --> 00:10:41.529 which sported gold plated hubcaps, TV and a bar. 00:10:41.830 --> 00:10:45.610 That's a nice feature. Do they do that anymore? 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.620 Do you think? Yeah, they call it limos. Not that 00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:51.220 I could afford a car with a bar, so I would know. 00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:54.100 Number seven, Elvis's concert jumpsuits were 00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:56.899 given names. They include Peacock, White Prehistoric 00:10:56.899 --> 00:11:00.120 Bird, Flame, Gypsy, Mad Tiger, and King of Spades. 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.440 All good names. The only one that's missing is 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.740 something... G... Just... G... Geopose... Something... 00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:12.419 Pope Junior. I can't remember his name. Number 00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:15.200 eight. Number eight, the only thing I remember. 00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:19.090 Pope Junior. The King's manager, Colonel Tom 00:11:19.090 --> 00:11:22.230 Parker, made more than Elvis. He got 50 % of 00:11:22.230 --> 00:11:25.509 what the star made from 1967 on and then earned 00:11:25.509 --> 00:11:28.289 extra pay as the technical advisor on Elvis's 00:11:28.289 --> 00:11:31.029 films. Number nine, the King's first guitar cost 00:11:31.029 --> 00:11:34.509 $12 .95. Number 10, football was the King's favorite 00:11:34.509 --> 00:11:36.330 sport and the Cleving Browns were his favorite 00:11:36.330 --> 00:11:39.110 team. Number 11, Elvis's favorite movie was James 00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:41.269 Dean's Rebel Without a Cause, which he memorized 00:11:41.269 --> 00:11:44.480 line by line. Number 12, some of Elvis's bejeweled 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:47.220 jumpsuits weighed more than 25 pounds. He was 00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:50.019 actually blonde, dyed it black.

Probably that - He was still alive. 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.480 He was still alive. I'm just assuming here. Yeah, 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.419 but it's weird.

Do they come 00:15:52.610 --> 00:15:54.889 up? You got to understand that morbid obesity 00:15:54.889 --> 00:15:59.470 had a different view, like mid 90s onwards and 00:15:59.470 --> 00:16:02.549 mid 90s backwards. Oh, yeah. This is definitely 00:16:02.549 --> 00:16:04.970 different than you see on my 600 foot. Yeah. 00:16:05.370 --> 00:16:08.149 No, like morbid obesity used to be like something 00:16:08.149 --> 00:16:11.889 you had to work at, like hard. to do not just 00:16:11.889 --> 00:16:16.169 like oh no it's mistake after like solitude yeah 00:16:16.169 --> 00:16:20.169 with our food the way it is now with all the 00:16:20.169 --> 00:16:24.009 palm oils and chemicals it's very easy to attain 00:16:24.009 --> 00:16:26.210 them yeah no they used to be like my 600 pound 00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:28.690 life big cities used to have prestigious groups 00:16:28.690 --> 00:16:31.200 called like the fat man's clubs And they were 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.139 very proud that they were fat in the 20s. Well, 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.679 yeah, and you look at throughout history, like 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.519 the plump ladies were the richest because they 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.320 could afford to eat. Yeah, and they were the 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.299 most attractive. They were able to get to that 00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:47.840 level. That's just how I choose to see myself 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:53.440 now is well off. Little do they know. Other stories 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.100 featured the exploits of the world's fattest 00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:59.419 couple at the gym, the world's fattest baby, 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.940 and even a similar weight guessing contest featuring 00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:05.279 the world's fattest dog.

He'd have to be Tronky. 00:17:13.509 --> 00:17:15.809 Well, I would have to assume it's a pug, but 00:17:15.809 --> 00:17:19.430 like a pug who weighs 80 pounds is different 00:17:19.430 --> 00:17:23.109 than like a husky who weighs like 150 pounds. 00:17:23.289 --> 00:17:26.450 I've never seen a fat husky. Have you? No, but 00:17:26.450 --> 00:17:31.150 it's in the name. Wow. Can you just search the 00:17:31.150 --> 00:17:37.930 world? Husky is husky.

He couldn't even walk! I wouldn't 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.720 call him world's fattest though. Like, sausage 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:36.700 dogs do not have to gain that much weight to 00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:39.519 be able to not walk. Definitely couldn't walk, 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:41.339 I don't think. No, but that's the thing about 00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:43.660 sausage dogs is they have short legs. Oh boy. 00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:46.059 They don't have the ability to gain that much 00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:49.339 weight. It's easy to get out of hand. Yeah.

By the 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:16.059 next story, he had regained the weight, severely 00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:19.099 damaging his scars. That's sad.

You got 00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:24.259 to be happy with the rich person loses everything 00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:26.859 storyline. I was literally just thinking and 00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:28.579 I was going to comment. Not enough people cover 00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:32.160 that. Yeah, it's a pull to the regular people. 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:35.819 Yeah. That the 1 % is gonna fall? Yes, of course. 00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:37.539 Oh, they're gonna hate it. Well, we're all gonna 00:20:37.539 --> 00:20:40.019 love it, yeah. And of course at this time, the 00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:43.420 1 % are not like the 1 % that we see now, but... 00:20:43.420 --> 00:20:46.000 No, but you gotta remember too that the people 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.720 who own the newspapers are usually in the 1%, 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:50.880 so they're gonna say like, oh no, people aren't 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:52.700 gonna like the story because I don't like the 00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:55.039 story, so we're not printing. Yeah. But they're 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.480 going for it and I fucking love that. The cover 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.140 story of the June 6th, 2005 issue warned that 00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:03.859 the Second Great Depression was just weeks away. 00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:07.000 Because of this, Texas oil tycoons were planning 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.299 to flee to Luxembourg, the only country to survive 00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:13.539 this economic crash. Consequences of this depression 00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:16.559 would include mass starvation, a disease epidemic, 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.380 mobs of looters, and a return to pagan religions 00:21:20.380 --> 00:21:23.059 and Satanism. Do you remember when that happened? 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.740 Yeah, I think it was right around the time when 00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:29.880 the people from Nibiru showed up. That's exactly 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:32.809 when it did. Yeah, when that the night. Is it 00:21:32.809 --> 00:21:35.069 the 9th planet? It was right around 2012. Yeah, 00:21:35.069 --> 00:21:38.569 9th now. Around that time, it was the 10th. But 00:21:38.569 --> 00:21:40.230 then right around the same time, the scientists 00:21:40.230 --> 00:21:42.369 came out and said, well, technically it's not 00:21:42.369 --> 00:21:44.650 actually the 10th planet because it's the 9th 00:21:44.650 --> 00:21:47.069 planet, because Peter doesn't exist. Yeah, that 00:21:47.069 --> 00:21:49.309 was all like in and around the same time. It 00:21:49.309 --> 00:21:52.049 was really chaotic. I know it was really chaotic. 00:21:52.329 --> 00:21:54.589 There's a lot of people really angry about that 00:21:54.589 --> 00:21:57.970 stuff. Oh, totally. Another typical weekly world 00:21:57.970 --> 00:22:01.529 news topic was Bible related findings that included 00:22:01.609 --> 00:22:04.349 relics from Noah's Ark, the Garden of Eating, 00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:07.589 claimed by the tabloid to be in Colorado. However, 00:22:07.890 --> 00:22:11.029 we do know from recent, well, kind of recent, 00:22:11.670 --> 00:22:14.990 well, very recent within the podcast, History 00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:19.890 of Time, supposedly in Sumeria, not Colorado, 00:22:20.130 --> 00:22:22.970 maybe, the discovery of additional commandments 00:22:22.970 --> 00:22:26.930 from God, the ant sandals worn by Jesus. You 00:22:26.930 --> 00:22:29.769 know, products were well made back then to stand. 00:22:29.769 --> 00:22:32.049 They just planned obsolescence has really ruined 00:22:32.049 --> 00:22:35.990 everything. It really fucking has. The magazine 00:22:35.990 --> 00:22:40.049 also reported on when Jesus will return to Earth 00:22:40.049 --> 00:22:44.809 and held an interview with Sisyphus when he finished 00:22:44.809 --> 00:22:48.549 his eternal boulder hauling workout. Oh, Sisyphus, 00:22:48.710 --> 00:22:52.309 yeah. Sisyphus, Sisyphus. Yeah, there you go. 00:22:52.890 --> 00:22:55.369 Yeah, those ones are a little bit hard. Other 00:22:55.369 --> 00:22:58.609 stories stated that natural disasters such as 00:22:58.609 --> 00:23:00.630 earthquakes and human economic activity like 00:23:00.630 --> 00:23:03.230 drilling for oil have opened up gates and portals 00:23:03.230 --> 00:23:06.349 from hell as they do, from which demons have 00:23:06.349 --> 00:23:09.230 escaped to wreak havoc upon the earth. I do actually 00:23:09.230 --> 00:23:11.950 think that is the worst thing that the oil and 00:23:11.950 --> 00:23:15.750 gas industry has done is cover up that portion 00:23:15.750 --> 00:23:19.029 and not the global warming thing. It is the demons 00:23:19.029 --> 00:23:21.359 that they keep unleashing upon us. But you know 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.839 what? I've also heard that that's, you know, 00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:26.880 it's not all of why the billionaires are losing 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.059 their beaches, but it's at least a part of it. 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.779 Yeah, it's not an insignificant amount either. 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.940 Yeah, it's rarely covered any at all. It's Thalog's 00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:38.700 unperturbed arm that is throwing the waves up 00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:41.799 onto the riches of the land. Yeah. We might cover 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.180 it in Fringy Mini at some point. We probably 00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:47.740 will if we were to find an article on it. And 00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:50.440 we might. We might if they're still publishing 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.819 things. Actually, Chelsea, you know what? I just 00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:55.140 found - We should use them more often. Yeah. 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.319 I just found the article here. If you want to 00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.599 take a look in general, it's this bad bear right 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.519 here. You just sent me this bear with boobs again. 00:24:04.619 --> 00:24:10.539 Man boobs, yeah. That's the article. Anyhow. 00:24:10.619 --> 00:24:16.119 It's a good article. It's well stated. OK, a 00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:19.559 story shortly after September 11th, 2001 showed 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.240 the face of Satan appearing in a cloud of dust 00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.940 caused by the collapse of the World Trade Center. 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.480 I think we all remember that similar stories 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.160 were in Satan's face had appeared in a thunderstorm 00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:34.720 had appeared before. Again, I just want to state 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.539 I feel like I would have been fantastic at the 00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:40.779 Weekly World News. I feel like I'm qualified 00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:44.059 to work there. I really do. Chelsea, I always 00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:46.490 thought I thought my job would be naming fifth 00:24:46.490 --> 00:24:49.250 wheels and motor homes, but I do in fact think 00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:50.930 it would have been waiting for the weekend. It 00:24:50.930 --> 00:24:53.069 was now that we did this. Give me a name. Well, 00:24:53.150 --> 00:24:55.529 no, see, I saw an RV once named the cousin Eddie 00:24:55.529 --> 00:24:57.930 too. And I thought that that's what I wanted 00:24:57.930 --> 00:25:00.589 to get into, but I don't know how. Yeah. But 00:25:00.589 --> 00:25:03.009 like, I feel like you could do better than the 00:25:03.009 --> 00:25:06.630 cousin to. Yeah. I would name one the Rambler. 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:09.819 I think I would call one the open road, which 00:25:09.819 --> 00:25:12.019 I don't think I've ever seen. No, you know what? 00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:14.359 You don't see. I think Journeyman is a great 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.779 name for a motorhome. Yeah, you don't see motorhomes 00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:20.519 named the same way that you see boats named. 00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:22.720 Yeah, you just don't. They have very specific 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.720 things. Yeah. Yeah. The next heading is terrorism 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.019 and following the terrorist attack on September 00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:32.220 11th, 2001. I was just going to ask if they had 00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:35.559 it before 2001, but that answers it. Yes. I hate 00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.259 to bring up Alex Jones again, but the craziest 00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:40.980 thing to me about Alex Jones is that he predicted 00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:44.980 this terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001. 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.940 He didn't, though. He did. No, he didn't. If 00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:51.599 you look at it. There are things around what 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.680 he actually predicted that are not specifically 00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:57.039 that, and it has a lot to do with that weird 00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:59.259 X -Files shootoff that happened at the same time. 00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:02.299 And then when it actually did happen, he said 00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:04.720 it was the European Union that did it. Oh, for 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.400 fuck's sake. Yeah. He specifically said that 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.279 it was going to be I can't remember exactly what 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.420 it was. I just listened to it yesterday. No, 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.140 but whenever you actually see him cover something 00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:18.019 correctly, it's usually because he had five different 00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:21.640 spins. Sorry, five is very limited. Oh yeah, 00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:24.359 like the whole thing was him just predicting 00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:27.019 everything but he specifically said it was gonna 00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:30.799 be Osama bin Laden and it happened six days after 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.400 he fucking said it and it's the only thing he's 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:35.700 ever accurately got right but then he went on 00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:37.960 and like got it completely wrong after it happened. 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.099 Yeah on the day of he said it was the European 00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:42.539 Union that did it. That's exact but he got it 00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:45.619 right like six days before it happened and I 00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:48.079 just thought that was craziest thing. Why is 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.029 this becoming all about not all about Alex Jones 00:26:51.029 --> 00:26:54.069 but it's the very adjacent to Alex Jones what 00:26:54.069 --> 00:26:57.890 we're talking about right now damn it it is following 00:26:57.890 --> 00:27:01.730 the terrorist attack on September 11 2001 weekly 00:27:01.730 --> 00:27:04.309 world news featured articles about plans for 00:27:04.309 --> 00:27:06.690 future terrorist attacks on the United States 00:27:06.690 --> 00:27:10.569 of America 2004 cover story described plans by 00:27:10.569 --> 00:27:13.690 Kim Jong -il to eventually invade and conquer 00:27:13.690 --> 00:27:16.269 the United States you know what I would believe 00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.279 Kim Jong Il definitely had those plans. Like 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:21.579 they were. Oh, yeah. They were for sure there. 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.880 Yeah. And Chelsea, do you know? You know what? 00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:26.200 Never mind. It's just going to be a picture of 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:36.539 the big bear again. I knew it. Other stories 00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:39.220 feature profiles on the location and nature of 00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:42.279 Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, which who 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:44.359 would have fucking thought that we're still talking 00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:48.079 about it today? including the news that Saddam 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.420 Hussein had an arsenal of giant slingshots. Well, 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.000 to be fair, he did have a Stargate, too. He did. 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.559 It's not mentioned here, but it also mentions 00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:03.160 missing Lincoln dinosaur. How else would he get 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.140 that butt of Stargate? How would he? I would 00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:09.660 even say that he had hybrids of animals mixed 00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:11.319 with dinosaurs, but it's just gonna be a picture 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.240 of the bear. But I would expect to see that bear 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.720 more in Russia probably. He seems retched. Mostly 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.079 from his background, yeah. He is definitely the 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.220 image for this week's episode. I don't know why 00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:29.160 I can't tell you how it relates to this episode. 00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:32.319 But it's beautiful. Yeah, he's beautiful. Just 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:37.140 as he is. In 2003, a series of articles profiled 00:28:37.140 --> 00:28:40.160 the ongoing relationship between an eventual 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.259 marriage of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. 00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:46.500 It was always kind of an undercurrent of the 00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:48.259 story. Okay. The love affair between Saddam and 00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:50.859 Osama. It was just an assumed. Okay, other stories 00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:53.319 have made claims that Bin Laden was actually 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:57.519 a dwarf that he recruited Adolf Hitler to join 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:01.720 Al Qaeda and that he was in fact dead long before 00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.480 his actual death and that the CIA was keeping 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.279 it a secret. After his being captured by Batboy, 00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:11.519 Saddam was humiliated by female prison guards, 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.400 won the United States lottery and even demanded 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.160 that the government pay for his sex change. Oh, 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.759 what a beautiful piece of reporting. Presidency 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:25.960 is the next headline that they reported on often. 00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:28.559 The weekly world news has often been the home 00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.700 of political satire regarding current and past 00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:34.819 presidential administrations. The magazine reported 00:29:34.819 --> 00:29:37.759 that the founding fathers were all gay and that 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.920 George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were actually 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:43.839 women. According to the paper, President Lincoln 00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:47.519 was insane and his ghost had also been spotted 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.500 in the White House giving President George W 00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:53.740 Bush advice based on the war in Iraq. stories 00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:56.700 about President George W. Bush capitalized on 00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:59.599 the public's perception that he lacked intelligence. 00:29:59.900 --> 00:30:02.660 The paper chronicled his plans to run for Pope, 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.079 his love affair with Janet Reno, and his intention 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:09.160 to nominate Yoda as secretary. Oh man, I kind 00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:11.759 of forgot that Janet Reno was a person and that 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.900 Will Ferrell played her on Saturday Night Live 00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:17.539 for a while. I just clicked on her and she looks 00:30:17.539 --> 00:30:20.700 like Ferrell. Oh yeah, she's got some broad shoulders. 00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:24.920 Yep. That June 21st 2004 it she stated that Vice 00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:28.779 President Jake Cheney was actually a robot and 00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:31.140 that his frequent trips to the hospital allowed 00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:36.640 him to rewire circuits. I'm pretty sure that 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:41.619 is the same with JD Vance. Pretty sure. If you 00:30:41.619 --> 00:30:43.900 looked it up I'm sure it would be the same. Chelsea, 00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:46.460 I don't think they can make software that awkward. 00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:48.500 at this point i just don't think they have the 00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:51.160 technology for it i always thought he was a prototype 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.359 and they're just working up the bugs is what 00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:56.680 i thought was going on no you have to intentionally 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.799 make somebody that awkward and unhuman like it 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.880 can't be accidental or just like not enough information 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:05.299 like it is that's true that's true it is actually 00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:07.740 too much information about how humanity works 00:31:07.740 --> 00:31:11.660 that allows you to say this is anti -human It's 00:31:11.660 --> 00:31:14.599 true. You can only be human to be that anti -human. 00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.319 Yeah. Or potentially an alien. Like I could see 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:20.559 something like a reptilian being able to be that 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:23.920 anti -human. That is very true. And that does 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.759 belong in the Weak Girl News. I wonder, we'll 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:28.859 take a look at the website after. We'll see if 00:31:28.859 --> 00:31:30.940 there's a place that you can submit stories, 00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:33.279 because that should definitely be one that they 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:35.019 should be covering. It says greatest people with 00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:38.140 an exclamation mark on their website. Oh, searched. 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:40.000 I'm gonna search a few things while you keep 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.319 going. Okay, next one. Aliens are beloved. Aliens 00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:46.900 are another subject frequently tackled by the 00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:49.660 Weekly World News. Weekly World News blamed these 00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:52.660 creatures for holes in the ozone, which I'm pretty 00:31:52.660 --> 00:31:55.180 sure ended up being correct. A Roswell Crash 00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:58.960 survivor, Altair Bob, made contact with the Weekly 00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:02.599 World News via telepathic email. This actually 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.750 seems pretty on par with like Serpo, sadly. Several 00:32:07.750 --> 00:32:10.410 factions of extraterrestrials have been using 00:32:10.410 --> 00:32:13.509 the moon to dump garbage. Martians have been 00:32:13.509 --> 00:32:17.150 monitoring the mid -east crisis. Warrior aliens 00:32:17.150 --> 00:32:20.309 have been resurrecting the dead, fighting Bigfoot, 00:32:20.730 --> 00:32:24.289 and training in a mock U .S. town hidden in Antarctica. 00:32:24.789 --> 00:32:27.750 San Franciscans have opened their hearts to immigrants 00:32:27.750 --> 00:32:31.410 from Mercury. One such alien named P. Wod, who 00:32:31.410 --> 00:32:33.990 made several appearances in weekly world news, 00:32:34.170 --> 00:32:37.130 has been known to fraternize with known women 00:32:37.130 --> 00:32:39.950 of politics. It was reported that he and Hillary 00:32:39.950 --> 00:32:42.670 Clinton once had a close relationship that ended 00:32:42.670 --> 00:32:45.150 up in a brawl between him and President Bill 00:32:45.150 --> 00:33:03.349 Clinton. It should also be known that apparently 00:33:03.349 --> 00:33:06.950 Vance shows up in many articles on Weekly World 00:33:06.950 --> 00:33:08.809 News, but they don't seem to have to do with 00:33:08.809 --> 00:33:11.069 JD Vance. And then I just realized I don't know 00:33:11.069 --> 00:33:14.359 what the J or the D stand for. So I can't actually 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.319 search his name. Yeah, but doesn't he just go 00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.599 by JD fans? Well, he does. And I don't think 00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:22.940 he's actually cool enough to have said that that 00:33:22.940 --> 00:33:25.380 J and D stand for Jack Daniels or something like 00:33:25.380 --> 00:33:28.940 that during like his high his university years. 00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:31.579 No, I feel like he always know he wouldn't have 00:33:31.579 --> 00:33:36.539 always by G for sure. OK, well, that's sad. And 00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:41.059 the August 11 1990. 8th edition Weekly World 00:33:41.059 --> 00:33:44.539 News reported that autograph dealer Steve Koschel 00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:47.680 offered to pay $1 million for anything signed 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.480 by an extraterrestrial. Koschel said he would 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.220 pay the million dollars to anyone who had a signed 00:33:54.220 --> 00:33:56.980 letter or signed photograph or anything signed 00:33:56.980 --> 00:33:59.799 by a visitor for outer space. Quote, hundreds 00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.160 of people claim to have been abducted and taken 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:05.480 aboard UFOs, and yet there's not a single verifiable 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.840 signature of an extraterrestrial being anywhere 00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:12.019 on Earth. And quote, and he's going by this with 00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:15.139 an autograph. He said in an exclusive interview, 00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:17.639 quote, someone out there must have asked one 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.400 of these creatures for an autograph and quote, 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.440 continue Koshell. Quote, if not, someone will 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.579 in the future. When they do, I want to be the 00:34:26.579 --> 00:34:30.760 first collector to acquire. The subject of space 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:33.980 aliens endorsing U .S. presidential candidates 00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:37.239 in various elections was also a recurring topic. 00:34:37.659 --> 00:34:40.579 During the 2000 U .S. presidential election, 00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.679 then -candidate George W. Bush posed for photographs 00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:47.260 with the Weekly World News issue opened the article 00:34:47.260 --> 00:34:50.380 reading space aliens back Bush for president. 00:34:52.409 --> 00:34:56.809 up on the topic of conversations of the Weekly 00:34:56.809 --> 00:34:59.929 World News that we're calling them now. Cryptids 00:34:59.929 --> 00:35:03.070 and half -animal, half -human hybrids are another 00:35:03.070 --> 00:35:05.909 frequent topic of the Weekly World News. Creatures 00:35:05.909 --> 00:35:09.849 such as Bigfoot, merpeople, real -life catwoman, 00:35:10.110 --> 00:35:13.989 half -alligator, half -humans, frog babies, kangaroo 00:35:13.989 --> 00:35:16.809 women, and many other creatures have taken the 00:35:16.809 --> 00:35:20.570 world by storm on various covers. For example, 00:35:20.889 --> 00:35:24.489 we have the abominable beach man strikes terror 00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:29.170 in Hawaii and Bigfoot steals race car. I love 00:35:29.170 --> 00:35:33.630 the English on that one, including the aforementioned 00:35:33.630 --> 00:35:37.909 Batboy. Next one that they covered quite frequently, 00:35:38.690 --> 00:35:41.530 Murpho as we mentioned on the previous one. And 00:35:41.530 --> 00:35:46.090 I must say on the cryptid one, I you know of 00:35:46.090 --> 00:35:49.070 all the cryptids we've covered and find humor 00:35:49.070 --> 00:35:51.949 in not one of these seem to be anything that 00:35:51.949 --> 00:35:55.269 we've actually covered as an actual cryptid they 00:35:55.269 --> 00:35:58.849 all just seem to be other than bigfoot and merpeople 00:35:58.849 --> 00:36:01.130 of course we have not in the way that we cover 00:36:01.130 --> 00:36:05.070 them either like yeah they all just seem completely 00:36:05.070 --> 00:36:08.969 made up which is hilarious i just love that bigfoot 00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:12.309 is stealing i would totally cover something like 00:36:12.309 --> 00:36:15.360 that as somebody emailed us Please, if you have 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:18.179 a story like that, we will cover it. We will 00:36:18.179 --> 00:36:20.639 talk about it for sure. Like without question. 00:36:20.739 --> 00:36:25.090 Oh yeah. Next one. Merfolk. And that is the existence 00:36:25.090 --> 00:36:28.909 of mermen and mermaids, which is also frequently 00:36:28.909 --> 00:36:32.570 reported in the pages of Weekly World News. One 00:36:32.570 --> 00:36:35.530 detailed article recounted a mermaid being caught 00:36:35.530 --> 00:36:38.389 in a fishing net off the coast of Florida in 00:36:38.389 --> 00:36:42.110 April 17, 2004. According to the article, she 00:36:42.110 --> 00:36:45.949 was at least half human, very sociable, and extremely 00:36:45.949 --> 00:36:49.130 intelligent. At least? At least. So she could 00:36:49.130 --> 00:36:51.800 be fully human. She could have been a little 00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:56.039 bit more human or less. A little bit more or 00:36:56.039 --> 00:37:00.159 less than him. No, she couldn't be less. Oh, 00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:03.719 no, at least would mean at least more or more. 00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:07.179 Equal to or greater than, yeah. And was able 00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:10.760 to talk in sophisticated three dimensional language, 00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.820 whatever that means. Do we not? that depends 00:37:14.820 --> 00:37:18.099 heavily on noises that could possibly be connected 00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:22.820 to the click languages prevalent in Parasubatic. 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:27.219 Okay. And on hand movements that look like sign 00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:34.079 language. Holy shit. Oh boy. Similar to their 00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:36.679 female counterparts, mermen are found within 00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:40.340 the pages of the Weekly World News. On June 17, 00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:43.820 2003, a merman was reported to have been caught 00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:47.099 in the South Pacific, this one measuring only 00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:52.400 28 inches. Just over two feet, okay. And that 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:57.239 is going to lead us to our last and perhaps most 00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:01.420 popular, what are they called? It's Batboy. It's 00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:05.079 Batboy. It's definitely Batboy. He has his own, 00:38:05.179 --> 00:38:08.179 like, girl dance on Weekly World News, because 00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:10.699 he owns Weekly World News now. He pretty much 00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:12.760 does, yeah. He does! He said Weekly World News 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:16.099 was bought by Batboy Inc. You're gonna be very 00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:19.099 impressed by Batboy. Prepare to be impressed. 00:38:19.500 --> 00:38:22.159 Taylor, I know you've been looking at Weekly 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.739 World News. while we've I've been talking if 00:38:24.739 --> 00:38:26.679 you could please just scroll through if you see 00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:29.059 anything of interest for Batboy I'm also gonna 00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:31.360 see if you found anything else but if you see 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.300 anything of interest of Batboy because we're 00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:35.679 on Batboy and would like to follow up the section 00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:38.059 with it please I see it's all about his 30 year 00:38:38.059 --> 00:38:41.340 anniversary right now not right now but wow one 00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:44.579 of the most recent years and not only that that's 00:38:44.579 --> 00:38:49.019 from 2022 so he goes back to 92 so he's 33 years 00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:51.860 old And he was found as a boy, so he's probably 00:38:51.860 --> 00:38:54.679 like 40 years old at this point. Yeah, he's a 00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:57.659 millennial, like us. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so Bad 00:38:57.659 --> 00:39:01.239 Boy was first featured in 1990, as Taylor just 00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:05.139 told us, and after being found in a cave in West 00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:09.659 Virginia in the Lost World Cavern, which... Sorry. 00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.320 I don't know if there's any ties to Mothman in 00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.820 that, and I don't know if that's why you're gasping. 00:39:16.019 --> 00:39:18.079 No, it's because Taylor Swift had an ultrasound 00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.619 and there's a little Batboy baby, maybe? Oh, 00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:25.360 no. Yeah. 2020. Wow. I don't know the gestation 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.579 time on a Batboy. I don't know either. Wow, there's 00:39:29.579 --> 00:39:32.840 a lot of Taylor Swift Batboy stuff in the 2020s. 00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:38.320 That's fucking weird. He has since led police 00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:42.820 on high -speed chases, fought in the war on terror, 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.139 led the troops to capture Saddam Hussein, I'm 00:39:46.139 --> 00:39:48.699 not sure if you guys knew that, bitten Santa 00:39:48.699 --> 00:39:51.860 Claus. Santa Claus has come up more times than 00:39:51.860 --> 00:39:55.260 I would have expected him. Probably two in this 00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:58.500 episode and traveled to outer space as I would 00:39:58.500 --> 00:40:01.690 expect that boy to be able to do. In 2000, he 00:40:01.690 --> 00:40:04.869 gave his endorsement to Al Gore. He's surprisingly 00:40:04.869 --> 00:40:09.250 political, actually. Yeah, yeah, he is. It was 00:40:09.250 --> 00:40:11.829 foretold that Batboy would become president in 00:40:11.829 --> 00:40:15.110 2028. We're not there yet. We could only hold 00:40:15.110 --> 00:40:17.130 at this point. Holy shit, is Batboy Andrew Boziako? 00:40:17.449 --> 00:40:19.670 Hold on a second. Because he was told he would 00:40:19.670 --> 00:40:23.969 be president by 2028. You know what? I'm not 00:40:23.969 --> 00:40:26.690 at all disappointed by these candidates, and 00:40:26.690 --> 00:40:29.570 I feel like either one would be a good option. 00:40:29.690 --> 00:40:31.409 I'm just putting it out there. Looking forward 00:40:31.409 --> 00:40:34.170 to this presidential run if that's it. Totally. 00:40:34.769 --> 00:40:38.130 The story of Batboy was the basis for an acclaimed 00:40:38.130 --> 00:40:41.550 off -Broadway musical, Batboy the Musical, in 00:40:41.550 --> 00:40:44.650 which Batboy meets a tragic end, which is super 00:40:44.650 --> 00:40:47.230 sad. Chelsea, I just need to, is that for real 00:40:47.230 --> 00:40:50.250 or is that from the weekly world news? The Batboy 00:40:50.250 --> 00:40:54.530 musical? Yeah. No, it's for real. Okay, it's 00:40:54.530 --> 00:40:56.969 just hard to tell with how it was put. Okay, 00:40:57.110 --> 00:41:00.269 no, it's for real. 1997 was the world premiere 00:41:00.269 --> 00:41:03.730 in Los Angeles. In 2001, it was off -Broadway. 00:41:03.869 --> 00:41:07.550 In 2003, it was in St. Louis. 2004, it was the 00:41:07.550 --> 00:41:10.690 West End, which I believe would be London. Yes. 00:41:10.909 --> 00:41:14.030 No, it's New York. 2021, it was in Auckland. 00:41:14.150 --> 00:41:17.250 Oh, wow. It was a for real thing in which Batboy 00:41:17.250 --> 00:41:21.110 meets a tragic end, which is super sad. In addition 00:41:21.110 --> 00:41:24.230 to articles, Batboy has been featured in a comic 00:41:24.230 --> 00:41:27.590 strip since 2004, though it is said that only 00:41:27.590 --> 00:41:31.269 the articles are the true story of Batboy, which 00:41:31.269 --> 00:41:33.900 I don't know. There may be some great area there. 00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:36.019 I don't feel like it would be the true true story 00:41:36.019 --> 00:41:38.599 of Batboy because Weekly World News had him from 00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.480 the start. On July 31st, 2024, it was recorded 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.599 by the website Deadline that Netflix was developing 00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:50.920 a Batboy live action television series. To this 00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:55.099 day, the Batboy saga continues on the website, 00:41:55.260 --> 00:41:57.880 Taylor. Yeah. Well, like you said in the first 00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.719 half, Batboy bought the Weekly World News, so 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:03.900 it's going to have a lot going on with him. Yeah. 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:08.159 And they skyrocketed him to fandom. Did you find 00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:10.880 any good articles about? Yeah. Well, if I click 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.599 on them, I'm not sure about this weird guy that's 00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.400 totally naked with no wiener. I mean, yeah. Well, 00:42:16.420 --> 00:42:19.219 yeah, he's on the run from the FBI with cryptids. 00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.460 I think is what that picture. Oh, he is. OK. 00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:24.920 But the big thing that's happened to him in the 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:28.639 last like five years years is one, his apparent 00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:30.340 love affair with Taylor Swift where they had 00:42:30.340 --> 00:42:32.559 a child together. And then two, apparently he 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:36.380 was in the 2020 election as a candidate with 00:42:36.380 --> 00:42:39.780 VP Bigfoot. They would have immediately had my 00:42:39.780 --> 00:42:42.380 vote. You wouldn't have even had to ask. I wouldn't 00:42:42.380 --> 00:42:45.059 have said liberal, conservative. It wouldn't 00:42:45.059 --> 00:42:47.460 have even mattered. No, but yeah, those are the 00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:50.159 big things in the last five years for that point. 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:53.199 I mean, his whole life has just been headlines. 00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:56.909 Oh yeah. So that's all from me. Did you come 00:42:56.909 --> 00:42:59.489 across anything else on your searches on the 00:42:59.489 --> 00:43:01.349 weekly release that you wanted to highlight? 00:43:01.570 --> 00:43:02.789 I just find it interesting that they have very 00:43:02.789 --> 00:43:06.010 rarely like straight away from the original Batboy 00:43:06.010 --> 00:43:10.889 photo, the face on Batboy. No, it's still very 00:43:10.889 --> 00:43:14.130 much the exact same picture of Batboy. Yeah, 00:43:14.369 --> 00:43:16.730 the Batboy you're picturing in your head, it's 00:43:16.730 --> 00:43:20.250 on every single picture now, be it political 00:43:20.250 --> 00:43:23.989 running. be it probably Taylor Swift ultrasound 00:43:23.989 --> 00:43:26.750 no that one's no it's Taylor Swift and ultrasound 00:43:26.750 --> 00:43:29.170 yeah yeah that one doesn't have the face but 00:43:29.170 --> 00:43:31.269 there's another Taylor Swift one below he tests 00:43:31.269 --> 00:43:33.949 negative for the coronavirus i think he's at 00:43:33.949 --> 00:43:36.289 a podium in the white house yeah i don't know 00:43:36.289 --> 00:43:39.110 if he's president there or not he might be no 00:43:39.110 --> 00:43:42.260 still running oh still running okay yeah Yeah, 00:43:42.260 --> 00:43:45.900 all the bad boy stuff. So the website is very 00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:49.159 much up and running. You can get a free subscription 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:53.000 to bad boy. Not bad boy. Weekly world news. They 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.900 do have a shop where you can buy all sorts of 00:43:55.900 --> 00:43:59.320 things, including a bad boy shirt. Oh, sorry. 00:43:59.340 --> 00:44:01.460 I just realized there's a picture where he didn't 00:44:01.460 --> 00:44:04.260 test positive for coronavirus and there's two 00:44:04.260 --> 00:44:06.179 people standing beside him. One's Bigfoot and 00:44:06.179 --> 00:44:08.800 the other one apparently is PhD ape who is apparently 00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:12.260 a mutant and he has his own heading. on her mutants. 00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.079 I did not point out PHD8, but there's various 00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:18.400 things that they seem to cover now on the website. 00:44:18.980 --> 00:44:21.860 So across the headings on the website, you'll 00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:25.619 find aliens and they cover Goten's, Z -bands 00:44:25.619 --> 00:44:29.840 and UFO sightings, which are very close to the, 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:35.119 what are the Serpo guys? Ebens, very close. Yeah, 00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.980 I actually find these guys weirdly adjacent to 00:44:37.980 --> 00:44:41.500 the Paranormal and like the Alex Jones and Mix 00:44:41.500 --> 00:44:44.699 of the onion in there. Yeah. Yeah, I found that 00:44:44.699 --> 00:44:46.659 as well And I don't know I think they've lost 00:44:46.659 --> 00:44:49.380 relevance because they're too close to the conspiracy 00:44:49.380 --> 00:44:51.900 I feel like that's how they always were. Well, 00:44:52.099 --> 00:44:54.280 the problem is the conspiracies got too outlandish 00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:57.800 Yeah, just reading what they have on here aliens 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:02.320 zombies Bigfoot PhD a bad boy vampires Manigator 00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.079 bad boy greatest people press and about and greatest 00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:10.690 people It's just people who probably pay for 00:45:10.690 --> 00:45:14.789 stuff and headlines and anger is still on there 00:45:14.789 --> 00:45:18.329 But yeah, they're still going. I think they've 00:45:18.329 --> 00:45:22.750 more than anything now gone all in Wilder. Yeah 00:45:22.750 --> 00:45:25.809 on that on the conspiracy stuff and bad boy I 00:45:25.809 --> 00:45:28.670 mean bad boys seems to be what they got the most 00:45:28.670 --> 00:45:31.429 recognition for and why not go with that if that's 00:45:31.429 --> 00:45:35.210 what yeah What got you there? Yeah Anything to 00:45:35.210 --> 00:45:39.550 add? No, I think that is a great summary of this 00:45:39.550 --> 00:45:43.449 grocery store nostalgia that is. Thank you for 00:45:43.449 --> 00:45:47.110 doing this, Chelsea. Do you have fun with the 00:45:47.110 --> 00:45:50.469 research? You're welcome. What? Did you have 00:45:50.469 --> 00:45:53.829 fun with the research? I did. It was very fun 00:45:53.829 --> 00:45:57.610 to look at. I did, as you noticed, find a few 00:45:57.610 --> 00:46:00.170 parallels with some stuff that we see in the 00:46:00.170 --> 00:46:03.690 paranormal community slash conspiracy community. 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:07.119 Oddly enough, I brought up Alex Jones a couple 00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:10.400 times. Yeah, and like I said, like these guys 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:13.340 inherit such a weird place in the middle of like 00:46:13.340 --> 00:46:16.659 where conspiracies are now and the onion. Yeah. 00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:20.119 And I mean, when you listen to guys like Alex 00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:23.500 David Wilcock, for instance, for examples of 00:46:23.500 --> 00:46:25.960 stuff like that, even with stuff like Project 00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.039 Serpo, it's just so blatantly in your face lies. 00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:33.260 Sorry to put it so bluntly for people who believe 00:46:33.260 --> 00:46:35.300 in the stuff that they're saying. You know, all 00:46:35.300 --> 00:46:36.940 the grifters that are around. Basically anybody 00:46:36.940 --> 00:46:40.320 we've talked about, yeah. And, to me, it's hitting 00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.360 the same marks. Just, you get a little bit more 00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.320 - A little more satirical, yeah. Exactly! But 00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:49.940 other than that, it could be anything that they're 00:46:49.940 --> 00:46:51.900 saying. It could be the onion. And they're spoutin' 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.360 off. It very well could be anything that they're 00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:57.039 saying, which I think is the funny part about 00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:59.300 it. Yeah. Well, it's almost a little sad that 00:46:59.300 --> 00:47:03.019 they fed these lies and died out because they 00:47:03.019 --> 00:47:05.059 weren't quite the right kind of lies. Exactly! 00:47:05.380 --> 00:47:08.219 Yet these people keep doing YouTube lies to make 00:47:08.219 --> 00:47:11.420 money and even live lives saying that they just 00:47:11.420 --> 00:47:16.239 need to make money. Yeah. So I mean at least 00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:18.760 they're still going yeah Chelsea thank you for 00:47:18.760 --> 00:47:22.659 this introspection of what are a lot of our childhood 00:47:22.659 --> 00:47:26.840 or Life was back in the day going through the 00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:29.659 grocery line and with that I have been Taylor 00:47:29.659 --> 00:47:31.659 here with Chelsea We are journey to the fringe. 00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:32.980 Thank you all for listening and we'll see you 00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:37.530 next week.
