00:00:00.710 --> 00:00:03.779
Thank you very much.
2
00:01:26.170 --> 00:01:28.329
Good evening and welcome to the hour dedicated to talking
3
00:01:28.349 --> 00:01:31.000
about all things strange, weird, and paranormal. You're listening to
4
00:01:31.019 --> 00:01:34.620
Strange Talk, broadcasting on 1660 AM in Northside, 91.7 FM

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.060
around the entire planet Earth. The intro track to this

00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.859
episode and most of our episodes is the Strange Talk
8
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.049
intro by Star Silk. I'm your host, Alex.
9
00:01:46.569 --> 00:01:47.909
And I'm your host, Janelle.
10
00:01:48.230 --> 00:01:52.730
Yay. Hello. We're back with some weird news.
11
00:01:53.769 --> 00:01:54.890
We haven't done it for a while.
12
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.780
As much as I love interviewing people this past season,
13
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.000
I do miss my weird news.
14
00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:01.879
Yeah.
15
00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:05.000
You know, and here's the thing. I thought a lot
16
00:02:05.019 --> 00:02:06.920
of weird news was going to pile up while we
17
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.889
had all these wonderful guests on. It was kind of
18
00:02:09.909 --> 00:02:12.030
like a struggle to find some of the weird stuff
19
00:02:12.069 --> 00:02:12.530
going on.
20
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.219
Yeah, maybe it's because it's becoming the norm now.
21
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.300
Maybe it's becoming the norm.
22
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.379
Our weird news is becoming the normal news.
23
00:02:20.189 --> 00:02:21.530
I think the other half of it is pretty much
24
00:02:21.650 --> 00:02:24.069
all the news is just like, it's nothing but how
25
00:02:24.150 --> 00:02:25.509
AI is going to murder us all.
26
00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:29.330
Well, we all have seen iRobot and whatnot.
27
00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:32.050
Yes. So I filtered most of that out because I
28
00:02:32.069 --> 00:02:33.930
feel like we all are already aware of that.
29
00:02:34.830 --> 00:02:35.430
Yes.
30
00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:39.039
Well, also, it does feel like it's a bit oversaturated.
31
00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:41.560
So it is nice to sometimes get some other.
32
00:02:43.189 --> 00:02:44.389
Other weird news out there.
33
00:02:44.610 --> 00:02:47.439
Yeah, we're here to curate your news to not be
34
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:56.900
completely terrifying. Terrifying in a fun way. But I figured
35
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:02.330
we'd start with some rapid fire. This is... this little
36
00:03:02.370 --> 00:03:05.370
bit is called news of the weird week of September 3rd, 2026.
37
00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:07.729
So it's a little bit outdated, but they have a
38
00:03:07.750 --> 00:03:12.090
bunch of little clips in here. Um, this was written by, um, Andrews. Oh,
39
00:03:12.169 --> 00:03:16.770
the editors at Andrews meal syndication. Um, so the first
40
00:03:16.889 --> 00:03:19.509
one says, and that's the things they get. A Dalton,
41
00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:22.289
New Hampshire man is in custody after stealing a rescue
42
00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:25.110
truck on August 25th and using it to ram into
43
00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:29.569
a fire engine while firefighters battled his own house fire.
44
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.039
NBC 10 in Boston reported that Nestor Roman II age 30,
45
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.069
not only hit the fire engine, which sustained significant damage,
46
00:03:39.330 --> 00:03:42.569
but also ran over water supply lines, crashed into a
47
00:03:42.689 --> 00:03:46.289
personal vehicle, knocked over nearby fences, and narrowly missed three
48
00:03:46.409 --> 00:03:50.770
firefighters before ending his wrecking spree by crashing into a
49
00:03:50.870 --> 00:03:53.250
nearby property and attempting to steal items off the porch.
50
00:03:53.849 --> 00:03:56.270
No one was injured and firefighters were able to continue
51
00:03:56.349 --> 00:03:58.830
using the hoses to work on the fire. The house, however,
52
00:03:58.889 --> 00:04:00.789
ended up being a total loss and Roman is charged
53
00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:04.849
with multiple counts of reckless conduct, theft, burglary, And resisting arrest.
54
00:04:05.949 --> 00:04:08.050
Oh my gosh. Did he set the fire?
55
00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:10.569
That's what I wanted. Was this like, he's like, I've
56
00:04:10.590 --> 00:04:12.680
got the perfect idea for a crime.
57
00:04:12.699 --> 00:04:14.080
I got the perfect plan.
58
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.959
I'll lure them here by setting my own house on fire.
59
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:17.540
Like what?
60
00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:22.670
Well, my weird news article for rapid fire here is
61
00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:27.660
luggage at Lizard's. Custom officers in Tokyo's Haneda Airport discovered
62
00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:31.009
some truly wild contraband in one passenger's luggage on April 8th,
63
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.699
reported the Times of India. 22 pairs of socks were
64
00:04:34.779 --> 00:04:37.720
stuffed with 200 lizards.
65
00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:40.120
Daniel Isaac.
66
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.860
Baltazar, who was 23, who had flown to Japan from
67
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:49.439
South Korea, purchased the lizards, some of them endangered in Mexico.
68
00:04:50.110 --> 00:04:55.959
From anywhere from $ 3. 50 to $ 4. 50 each, possibly hoping to
69
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.540
sell them in Japan, where they could be worth up
70
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.379
to $ 630. After being arrested, Balthazar confessed to smuggling the lizards.
71
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.220
Okay, yeah, how can you deny that? Sir, why are
72
00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:11.019
there 200 lizards in your 22 pairs of socks?
73
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:15.860
Why do you have so many socks for so many lizards?
74
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.240
Well, no, they're sharing some socks. I don't know.
75
00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:21.779
Yeah, they had to be. But anyway.
76
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.329
The next rapid fire says wandering kinkajou rescued in Texas.
77
00:05:28.050 --> 00:05:29.629
That is an animal for those who are not aware.
78
00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:34.689
On August 20th, law enforcement officers in North Richland Hills, Texas,
79
00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:37.819
responded to a call about a small kangaroo or monkey
80
00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:42.540
seeking shelter behind a garage. Sorry, a garbage can outside
81
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.689
of a restaurant. Police discovered a kinkajou, a nocturnal mammal
82
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:48.589
native to the tropical forests of Central and South America.
83
00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:53.189
KDFW reported that the kinkajou, also called a honey bear,
84
00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:55.029
I feel like more people know it by that name,
85
00:05:55.550 --> 00:05:58.980
had burn marks on its paws from the hot concrete.
86
00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:02.220
Officers placed a towel around it before removing it from
87
00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:05.139
behind the trash can. The kinkajou was first taken to
88
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.100
North Richland Hills Animal Services Center before being moved to
89
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.750
Nature's Edge Wildlife and Reptile Rescue. Exotic pets are not
90
00:06:12.790 --> 00:06:14.610
allowed in the city and no one has come forward
91
00:06:14.629 --> 00:06:17.629
to claim ownership of the kinkajou. So how this nocturnal
92
00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:19.970
mammal came to be outside of a restaurant on a
93
00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:22.250
hot sunny day in Texas is still a mystery. Hmm.
94
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.779
Oh, poor little thing.
95
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.379
Poor guy. Yeah, I'm glad they got him some help.
96
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.480
Yeah. My story is owl at sea.
97
00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:34.930
So Reuters reported on August 20th that a barn owl
98
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.269
had joined the British Army Sailing Group. 70 nautical miles
99
00:06:39.329 --> 00:06:44.170
from shore, the crew boarded the Fujitsu British Soldier, which
100
00:06:44.209 --> 00:06:48.569
was competing in the 50th anniversary RORC round Britain and
101
00:06:48.730 --> 00:06:52.449
Ireland race where they found their stowaway. The bird, which
102
00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:56.139
the crew named Little Regina, fell into the sea three
103
00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:59.459
times before collapsing on the deck where sailors rescued it.
104
00:07:00.350 --> 00:07:02.529
Lots of strange animal situations here.
105
00:07:02.670 --> 00:07:02.810
Yeah.
106
00:07:02.829 --> 00:07:05.009
Which, fittingly, the next one's also called Bull on the Run.
107
00:07:05.029 --> 00:07:05.410
I don't know.
108
00:07:05.589 --> 00:07:05.949
Oh, gosh.
109
00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:07.689
I did not read any of these beforehand, except for
110
00:07:07.709 --> 00:07:08.500
one that we're getting to.
111
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.779
Law enforcement received a call about a bull traveling along
112
00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:34.980
Highway 35 in Half Moon Bay, California, late in the
113
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.290
evening of August 18. According to KTVU, the bull had
114
00:07:39.350 --> 00:07:42.310
been on the run for several days. The California Highway
115
00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:46.730
Patrol and San Mateo County Sheriff's deputies attempted to clear
116
00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:49.500
the road for capture. You know they don't cover this
117
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.459
in the police academy, so they tried unsuccessfully for a
118
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.600
couple of hours to get the bull secured, said Captain
119
00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:59.350
Eamon Allen, coastside commander for the San Mateo Sheriff's Office.
120
00:08:00.189 --> 00:08:02.449
They tried a couple of methods and just realized that
121
00:08:02.490 --> 00:08:05.829
their efforts were futile, another quote from him. Realizing they
122
00:08:05.870 --> 00:08:09.730
needed an expert wrangler, they called in Samuel Palomino of
123
00:08:09.889 --> 00:08:14.069
Seahorse Ranch. Palomino lassoed the animal while standing in the
124
00:08:14.189 --> 00:08:18.000
back of a sheriff's pickup, but the rope broke. After
125
00:08:18.050 --> 00:08:21.269
a second attempt, Palomino secured the wayward bull around 3 a.m.
126
00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:23.550
Officials say the bull was returned to its pen.
127
00:08:24.730 --> 00:08:25.449
That's amazing.
128
00:08:26.449 --> 00:08:27.740
I like that it took two lassos.
129
00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:30.839
Yes. Well, sometimes you just need a cowboy, you know,
130
00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:31.759
to do what they do.
131
00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:35.669
You know, this happened a couple years back, actually, in Louisville.
132
00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:38.909
And I actually have a video of it because one
133
00:08:38.929 --> 00:08:40.730
of my coworkers happened to be walking down the street.
134
00:08:40.750 --> 00:08:43.529
It's a security video. You see him walking by and
135
00:08:44.269 --> 00:08:47.409
then you see a bull come running down the road,
136
00:08:47.590 --> 00:08:51.169
followed by three police cars. And then like a beat later,
137
00:08:51.429 --> 00:08:53.370
there is a guy on a horseback with a lasso,
138
00:08:53.529 --> 00:08:56.600
like chasing after them as well. It is the funniest video.
139
00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:59.059
And I will, Janelle, I will send that to you
140
00:08:59.120 --> 00:08:59.519
after this.
141
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.960
Oh, please do. Please do. Um, our next article is
142
00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:04.539
called oops.
143
00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:08.850
Whoever wins the August 30th Sydney Marathon will have a
144
00:09:08.929 --> 00:09:12.690
unique medal to commemorate the race. The Sydney Morning Herald
145
00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:16.929
reported on August 23rd that the medal depicts engravings of
146
00:09:16.950 --> 00:09:20.360
familiar landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge,
147
00:09:21.179 --> 00:09:24.980
which designers meant to include Sydney's, it looks like, Alliance Stadium,
148
00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:30.179
but they actually included Munich's Alliance Stadium, or Alliance, I
149
00:09:30.230 --> 00:09:33.259
should say, Arena. And you read that right. That is
150
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.759
Munich as in Germany. It is a landmark on an
151
00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:42.519
Australian marathon medal. The event coming up is too soon
152
00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:44.830
to correct the error and the marathon spokesperson said the
153
00:09:44.870 --> 00:09:47.509
medal will not be changed. We are not going to
154
00:09:47.570 --> 00:09:50.750
run from it. It is an unfortunate error, though it
155
00:09:50.809 --> 00:09:53.509
is certainly given everyone something to talk about this weekend,
156
00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:58.029
mostly in good humor. Germans Alliance Arena took the Instagram
157
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:00.610
to join the fun. Perhaps they tried to find something
158
00:10:01.009 --> 00:10:04.820
else that they had in common between um alliance arena
159
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.139
opera house unique architecture both worth a visit what they
160
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.879
said amazing.
161
00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:11.759
Yeah that was the one that i read beforehand and
162
00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:14.019
i was like that is hilarious and i love it
163
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.549
yes yes it's great uh our next rapid fire is
164
00:10:18.610 --> 00:10:23.529
titled Cephalopod Chaos. On August 16th, a Rhode Island road
165
00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:27.470
was closed to traffic for eight hours while workers cleaned
166
00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:33.710
up 20 tons of spilled squid. ABC News reported, a
167
00:10:33.830 --> 00:10:37.169
tractor trailer was taking the squid to a processing facility
168
00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:39.769
when the trailer part dislodged from the cab and tipped
169
00:10:39.870 --> 00:10:42.909
over as the driver tried to make a turn. Not
170
00:10:42.950 --> 00:10:45.549
only was traffic blocked across four lanes, but locals also
171
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.259
had to contend with the smell. Squid has a distinctive
172
00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:51.879
odor to it, Richard Stevens, a neighbor and fisherman said.
173
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.720
It can be very foul smelling, especially if it lands
174
00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:57.990
on the road and stays there for a while. No
175
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.529
one was injured, but Rhode Island State Police cited the
176
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:03.610
driver for failing to secure a load of squid.
177
00:11:03.929 --> 00:11:04.730
Oh my goodness.
178
00:11:05.490 --> 00:11:05.950
Goodness.
179
00:11:07.309 --> 00:11:10.710
Oh man, I can't imagine. Our next rapid fire is
180
00:11:10.730 --> 00:11:12.009
Cool Sea Rescue. Cool Sea Rescue.
181
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:14.809
Two fishermen were lost at sea for five days and
182
00:11:14.850 --> 00:11:18.649
survived by floating in a large blue cooler, people reported
183
00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:23.879
on August 21st. The unnamed fishermen, ages 32 and 53,
184
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.440
had sailed on their own boat and last spoke to
185
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.419
their fishing cooperative on August 14th. When a few days
186
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.899
went by with no contact, members of the cooperative reached
187
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.379
out to the Mexican Navy on August 19th for help.
188
00:11:37.250 --> 00:11:40.620
After a search by surface and air units, Personnel found
189
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.470
the men 150 miles off the coast of Chiapas in
190
00:11:45.509 --> 00:11:48.830
southern Mexico, where they were pulled onto a Navy ship,
191
00:11:49.070 --> 00:11:51.470
where they received medical attention and were later reunited with
192
00:11:51.490 --> 00:11:52.009
their families.
193
00:11:52.409 --> 00:11:54.990
Honestly, that is such quick thinking on their part to
194
00:11:55.029 --> 00:11:57.149
be like the cooler. For real.
195
00:11:57.169 --> 00:11:58.149
Just getting the cooler.
196
00:11:58.169 --> 00:12:01.720
Yeah. I'm glad that that has a... a good end
197
00:12:01.820 --> 00:12:02.980
to it. Yes.
198
00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:05.159
Oh, that could have been wrong.
199
00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:08.840
Oh gosh, that could have been so, yeah, so bad.
200
00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:12.909
Our final little rapid fire here before we get into
201
00:12:12.929 --> 00:12:16.629
some longer articles is just titled Biting His Head Off.
202
00:12:17.870 --> 00:12:22.090
And it says, Amy Arlene Baker, 43, of Boca Raton, Florida,
203
00:12:22.490 --> 00:12:25.350
is charged with aggravated battery after biting her husband's ear
204
00:12:25.509 --> 00:12:30.539
off during an argument. Oh. MB6 Miami reported on August 20th.
205
00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:34.419
The couple were on Interstate 95 driving home from a
206
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.220
party in Fort Lauderdale when they started fighting about relationship issues.
207
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:42.120
As the argument escalated, police say that Baker struck her
208
00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:44.779
husband with her hand before grabbing his face and biting
209
00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:48.129
his ear, tearing a small section of it off. Baker
210
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:51.789
claims that he hit her and that she was provoked
211
00:12:51.909 --> 00:12:54.009
by him telling her to shut up prior to that.
212
00:12:54.769 --> 00:12:56.909
Her husband drove to the nearest hospital where he had
213
00:12:56.929 --> 00:12:59.750
to have surgery to reattach the missing portion of his ear.
214
00:13:00.549 --> 00:13:02.850
Baker is also charged with two counts of child neglect
215
00:13:02.950 --> 00:13:04.789
as the couple's two children, seven and one, were in
216
00:13:04.830 --> 00:13:06.389
the car when the incident occurred.
217
00:13:06.590 --> 00:13:07.269
Oh my gosh.
218
00:13:07.750 --> 00:13:10.690
So that one is sad and messed up, but also
219
00:13:11.629 --> 00:13:14.190
a little wild of like, oh, you could just bite
220
00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:14.789
an ear off.
221
00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:17.029
I mean, I don't want to say anything, but it
222
00:13:17.129 --> 00:13:18.690
is Florida.
223
00:13:18.789 --> 00:13:18.990
Well.
224
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.779
Florida is going to Florida.
225
00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:23.750
Florida.
226
00:13:23.769 --> 00:13:25.389
There's always weird news coming out of Florida.
227
00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:28.230
I mean, do you know why that is?
228
00:13:30.009 --> 00:13:31.490
Isn't it the Florida triangle or something?
229
00:13:31.850 --> 00:13:36.909
It's they are like required to report on more stuff.
230
00:13:37.149 --> 00:13:41.000
And they also have like very, very public, like records
231
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.759
of law. So that's why you end up with so many,
232
00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:49.779
so many Florida man headlines. I believe, I want to
233
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.679
say the law is called like the Sunshine State Law
234
00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:52.480
or something like that.
235
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.879
I think you're right. I think you're right.
236
00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.220
I did just scroll down a little bit and it
237
00:13:57.259 --> 00:14:01.210
has submissions for publication. And there is one that I'd
238
00:14:01.230 --> 00:14:02.509
like to share real quick if I can.
239
00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:04.970
Oh, it's to correct myself. It's the government in the
240
00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:07.370
Sunshine Act. And that's why it's all public. But yes,
241
00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:08.090
please share that.
242
00:14:08.129 --> 00:14:11.600
Yeah. This is out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
243
00:14:11.629 --> 00:14:13.320
And it says a man is accused of killing his
244
00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:16.019
cousin during an argument about the spice level of the
245
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:21.009
enchiladas that they were having for dinner. KOAT reported that
246
00:14:21.049 --> 00:14:25.220
police said Gutierrez got into a fight with his cousin,
247
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:32.360
25-year-old Nathan Cavazos. And the argument reportedly started when Gutierrez
248
00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:35.320
claimed that the chili, the green chilies in his enchilada
249
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.919
were too hot. KOAT reported that, um, Cavazios tried.
250
00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:44.399
To walk away, but his cousin pulled out a gun
251
00:14:44.490 --> 00:14:44.950
and shot him.
252
00:14:45.350 --> 00:14:46.409
Oh, my gosh.
253
00:14:46.649 --> 00:14:48.610
Yes. Gutierrez pulled out a gun and shot him, and
254
00:14:48.649 --> 00:14:49.669
he was pronounced dead at the scene.
255
00:14:49.870 --> 00:14:50.909
Oh, my gosh.
256
00:14:52.549 --> 00:14:53.509
Yeah.
257
00:14:53.529 --> 00:14:53.600
Why?
258
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.139
It's too spicy, I guess. I mean, that's crazy.
259
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:02.779
Right? Like, the initial argument, funny. The resulting, like, what happened,
260
00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:03.299
not funny. Yeah.
261
00:15:04.809 --> 00:15:08.450
Right. Like, you are really arguing about enchiladas being too spicy.
262
00:15:08.470 --> 00:15:11.480
And also, like, how is that worth, like, someone dying over?
263
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.700
Maybe he did it a lot.
264
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.879
You always say my enchiladas are too spicy.
265
00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:19.580
You always say my enchiladas are too spicy. Or, I
266
00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:21.399
think the issue was.
267
00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:26.620
Gutierrez did not want the enchiladas to be too spicy. Yeah.
268
00:15:28.669 --> 00:15:30.250
Goodness. Yeah.
269
00:15:30.590 --> 00:15:34.009
I can't imagine. Anyways. Anyways.
270
00:15:34.570 --> 00:15:37.009
Well, we'll move into one of our bigger articles here.
271
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.559
And this one, I think you all could potentially participate in.
272
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:45.080
This one is not so much an article as a website. So,
273
00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:48.440
were you doing the show with me when we were
274
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.120
talking a while back about how Columbia launched their tongue-in-cheek
275
00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:56.200
Expedition Impossible, daring flat-earth conspiracy theorists to find the edge
276
00:15:56.220 --> 00:16:00.039
of the earth? Well, Mountain Dews decided to get on
277
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.440
the fun.
278
00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:08.039
Specifically, Hard Mountain Dew. they're launching the Bigfoot bounty, which
279
00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:13.200
is a $ 1 million reward for the first person, 21 plus, obviously,
280
00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:20.570
to submit verified evidence that Bigfoot exists. I feel like
281
00:16:20.590 --> 00:16:23.450
this joke kind of writes itself of like hard Mountain Dew,
282
00:16:23.570 --> 00:16:25.909
something about Bigfoot being blurry because you've drank so much
283
00:16:25.950 --> 00:16:29.730
hard Mountain Dew and not because he's encrypted, et cetera,
284
00:16:29.769 --> 00:16:34.250
et cetera. But yeah. So if you have... proof that
285
00:16:34.269 --> 00:16:37.899
Bigfoot exists. You can submit to Hard Mountain Dew to
286
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.149
try to win. I do have criteria here from them. Well,
287
00:16:44.409 --> 00:16:46.889
so first, the prize. One million to the first person
288
00:16:46.970 --> 00:16:50.870
to submit verified evidence that Bigfoot exists. Evidence must meet
289
00:16:50.929 --> 00:16:54.820
a rigorous judging criteria co-developed with Bryce Johnson of Expedition Bigfoot.
290
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.759
And then it says, plus 100 fans who submit evidence
291
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.179
will win a $ 20 cash prize to cover the cost
292
00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:02.940
of a pack of Hard Mountain Dew because proving Bigfoot
293
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.039
exists should come with at least... one guaranteed one is
294
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.460
what this says on their site. The criteria listed here
295
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.930
to be considered submissions must include at least four of
296
00:17:13.970 --> 00:17:19.410
the following seven criteria. Number one is a Bigfoot paw print,
297
00:17:19.789 --> 00:17:23.650
a footprint measuring between 37 and 38.5 inches long found
298
00:17:23.690 --> 00:17:28.109
pressed into dirt. Number two is a Bigfoot handprint, clearly
299
00:17:28.150 --> 00:17:32.250
documented 13 inch handprints displaying distinct shape proportions and unusual
300
00:17:32.269 --> 00:17:37.740
characteristics suitable for further examination. Number three is Bigfoot Cameo,
301
00:17:37.819 --> 00:17:40.420
which is a photo showing what appears to be a Bigfoot.
302
00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:46.220
Number four, this one's for you, audio submission, a recording
303
00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:54.769
containing high-frequency vocalizations, knocks, calls, or other unexplained sounds consistent
304
00:17:54.809 --> 00:18:01.400
with reported Bigfoot activity. Number five, Environmental Remnants, Evidence of
305
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:05.200
debris and or environmental remnants with no visible machinery or
306
00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:10.579
storm damage nearby. Number six is thermal imaging capture. Night
307
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.220
vision footage showing a seven to nine foot tall heat
308
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.579
signature moving at 20 to 25 miles per hour through
309
00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:19.720
dense forest. And number seven is a Bigfoot hair follicle sample.
310
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:22.359
A tuft of dark brown, black, or reddish brown hair
311
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.140
containing unknown DNA markers. I feel like that one's biased.
312
00:18:26.269 --> 00:18:27.180
You could get Yeti fur.
313
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.440
And you only need four out of the seven. Four
314
00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:34.279
out of the seven. Now, I'm sure if you supply
315
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.470
all seven, I mean.
316
00:18:36.910 --> 00:18:38.910
At that point, I think it's a Willy Wonka situation
317
00:18:38.930 --> 00:18:42.049
and you take over their business, right? That's how that works?
318
00:18:42.369 --> 00:18:43.819
I think that's how that works.
319
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.500
I do like how there is this very small disclaimer
320
00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:49.710
here that says our lawyers made us say this. The
321
00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:54.579
one million grand prize requires actual verified proof that Bigfoot exists.
322
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.240
Hard Mountain Dew does not have any additional evidence that
323
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.099
he is out there beyond speculation, but don't let that
324
00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:03.099
stop you from having a little fun and giving it
325
00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:03.660
your best shot.
326
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.480
I do like this.
327
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.670
There's like a, yeah, it looks like there's like a
328
00:19:07.769 --> 00:19:09.710
form on the bottom that you get to fill out.
329
00:19:09.789 --> 00:19:11.529
You upload. It looks like maybe.
330
00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:16.690
Jake Peggs, PNGs, audio files, all that kind of stuff
331
00:19:16.710 --> 00:19:16.950
to there.
332
00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:19.980
It did say that the first 100 fans who submit
333
00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:22.400
evidence will win a $ 20 cash prize. Does that mean
334
00:19:22.569 --> 00:19:25.549
it does not have to be good evidence? Can I
335
00:19:25.589 --> 00:19:26.869
just take a picture right now?
336
00:19:27.549 --> 00:19:29.150
Bigfoot was at my wedding.
337
00:19:29.450 --> 00:19:30.789
That's true. I saw it.
338
00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:33.319
I feel like, you know.
339
00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:35.660
I'm going to send Hard Mountain Dew pictures of your wedding.
340
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.960
Yes, please. Send Hard Mountain Dew pictures of my wedding.
341
00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:40.500
I will do my audio submission.
342
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:45.960
Yeah. One day we'll get recorded audio of us trying
343
00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:47.359
to do Bigfoot calls in the car.
344
00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:49.630
We were a little disappointed in that.
345
00:19:49.970 --> 00:19:53.549
Not getting that from our trip my dash cam decided
346
00:19:53.589 --> 00:19:58.230
that there could be no evidence yes which maybe means
347
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.579
that our bigfoot calls were too good that is very
348
00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:02.460
true yeah it.
349
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.400
Is very possible so.
350
00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:10.630
Our next weird news article is a little bit less fun.
351
00:20:11.710 --> 00:20:13.930
Do you want to read this one? Sure.
352
00:20:14.710 --> 00:20:21.079
This is from CTV News. And this is written by
353
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.480
Pat Foran. And the start of it is, it's a
354
00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:28.289
consumer alert, by the way. It's a quote from someone
355
00:20:28.329 --> 00:20:31.230
who says, I cried every day. Ontario woman devastated after
356
00:20:31.470 --> 00:20:38.079
losing 96,000 in psychic scams. So a Toronto woman who
357
00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:40.519
was suffering from health problems and dealing with the recent
358
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:44.200
death of a family member says that she was at
359
00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:48.440
a vulnerable time when she gave almost $ 100, 000 to a psychic.
360
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.839
The woman who asked us to use her middle name, Nancy,
361
00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:57.720
said she wanted to keep her identity hidden as she's
362
00:20:57.779 --> 00:21:01.930
embarrassed after giving away her entire life savings. Quote, I
363
00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:05.220
cried every day, she said. Nancy said two years ago
364
00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:09.220
she was sick from a hip injury and having severe
365
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.839
pain when she lost her father and brother. Nancy said
366
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.759
she was scrolling on Instagram when she saw an ad
367
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.700
for a psychic not far from her. He claimed he
368
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.150
could help with a session, which was.
369
00:21:19.210 --> 00:21:20.190
Only $ 30.
370
00:21:19.829 --> 00:21:26.880
They do have a sign of a psychic business. I
371
00:21:26.900 --> 00:21:28.900
don't know if it's the business, but it is there
372
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.259
on the news article. But Nancy said when she had
373
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.079
her psychic reading, she was told that there were evil
374
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:39.069
spirits around her causing her harm. And she's quoted saying,
375
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:43.769
I was told I have very bad black magic working
376
00:21:43.809 --> 00:21:47.109
against me. This black magic means soon I am also
377
00:21:47.130 --> 00:21:48.809
going to be paralyzed and I will be in a
378
00:21:48.809 --> 00:21:49.990
wheelchair and I will die too.
379
00:21:50.509 --> 00:21:50.750
Yeah.
380
00:21:51.569 --> 00:21:53.049
The woman said that she was told to get rid
381
00:21:53.069 --> 00:21:53.849
of one of the evil spirits.
382
00:21:53.890 --> 00:22:00.329
It would cost her $ 25, 000.
383
00:21:56.769 --> 00:21:58.529
An insane amount of money to get rid of an
384
00:21:58.660 --> 00:21:59.390
evil spirit.
385
00:21:59.410 --> 00:22:05.230
I mean, especially considering we just talked to, like, Linda. Yeah.
386
00:22:05.269 --> 00:22:06.549
You know, from the Reiki Center.
387
00:22:06.750 --> 00:22:09.049
And it sounds like she's like, hey, if you need help,
388
00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:10.369
just come to me.
389
00:22:10.549 --> 00:22:13.029
And she'll find a way. I know so many paranormal
390
00:22:13.049 --> 00:22:17.690
investigators that would, like, for free come investigate for you
391
00:22:17.769 --> 00:22:18.569
and try to help you.
392
00:22:18.630 --> 00:22:20.269
Exactly. Exactly.
393
00:22:20.390 --> 00:22:22.609
She is also continue quoted saying, so he is going
394
00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:27.119
to put that. the evil spirit in a plastic container
395
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.829
and he will take it to the lake and bury
396
00:22:28.890 --> 00:22:31.910
it ah she was told but after that she was
397
00:22:31.950 --> 00:22:35.809
told that there were seven more evil spirits so in
398
00:22:35.849 --> 00:22:37.930
the end she ended up giving the psychic a total
399
00:22:38.069 --> 00:22:42.390
of 96 000 and said that she was in a
400
00:22:42.509 --> 00:22:45.769
shock when all of her problems remained the same yeah
401
00:22:45.809 --> 00:22:48.500
so like in the end nothing happened nancy said The
402
00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:51.839
psychic moved locations and the CTV news called we were
403
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.839
hung up on and our messages left at the number
404
00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:58.460
were not unanswered. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Center said psychic scams
405
00:22:58.529 --> 00:23:02.730
usually involve fear, threats, and emotional manipulation.
406
00:23:02.750 --> 00:23:03.390
Excuse me.
407
00:23:04.910 --> 00:23:07.430
It is important to know the difference between is it
408
00:23:07.450 --> 00:23:11.410
part of an entertainment service or are you being defrauded,
409
00:23:11.650 --> 00:23:17.450
said Jeff Horncastle with the CAFC, Canadian Anti-Fraud Center. He
410
00:23:17.529 --> 00:23:19.650
is quoted saying, one major warning sign is that your
411
00:23:19.690 --> 00:23:22.410
loved one will experience an illness or death or financial
412
00:23:22.450 --> 00:23:25.269
loss and there will be a relationship breakdown unless you
413
00:23:25.289 --> 00:23:29.670
pay more money. As for Nancy, the $ 96, 000 she gave
414
00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:32.190
to the psychic was her entire life savings. So she
415
00:23:32.210 --> 00:23:35.369
is even more devastated to lose that amount of money, which,
416
00:23:35.869 --> 00:23:38.750
of course, adding that her health has gotten worse. She
417
00:23:38.809 --> 00:23:40.250
says that I have made a big mistake and I
418
00:23:40.289 --> 00:23:41.289
have been a very big fool.
419
00:23:42.349 --> 00:23:42.849
The police.
420
00:23:43.329 --> 00:23:47.109
won't always investigate psychic fraud as it's a service customers
421
00:23:47.230 --> 00:23:53.500
agree to. And it can be difficult to demonstrate criminal intent.
422
00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:56.599
But if you know of someone who uses psychics, you
423
00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:57.980
may want to reach out to them to make sure
424
00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:59.180
they are not being scammed.
425
00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:04.569
Yeah. So this article comes from CTV News in Toronto.
426
00:24:04.950 --> 00:24:07.329
And the guy who wrote it is Pat Foran, who
427
00:24:07.390 --> 00:24:10.609
is a consumer alert video journalist. So this is a
428
00:24:10.789 --> 00:24:14.089
kind of consumer alert that they were putting out. Yes. Yes.
429
00:24:14.309 --> 00:24:16.730
There is no chance that Nancy is happening to listen
430
00:24:16.750 --> 00:24:19.000
to this, but if she is, none of that was
431
00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:22.599
your fault. Right. Somebody marked you as a target and
432
00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:24.559
they are a bad person and they took advantage of
433
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:27.240
you and that is not your fault. Exactly.
434
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.089
And that's unfortunate. I mean, in the ironic sense, they were,
435
00:24:32.450 --> 00:24:33.650
he wasn't wrong that there was.
436
00:24:33.529 --> 00:24:35.710
A evil spirit. Yeah.
437
00:24:35.950 --> 00:24:36.650
And he was all eight of them.
438
00:24:36.670 --> 00:24:38.009
Attaching to her, but it was him.
439
00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:41.089
Yeah. He was all eight of them. Yeah.
440
00:24:41.269 --> 00:24:41.609
Yeah.
441
00:24:42.650 --> 00:24:46.230
So. No. Yeah. So that one's an unfortunate story, but
442
00:24:46.269 --> 00:24:49.890
I thought that that was important to include of, you know,
443
00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:53.680
second readings, tarot is very fun and stuff. But if
444
00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:56.039
somebody is trying to tell you that they have all
445
00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:58.859
the answers and only they can solve all of your problems,
446
00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:01.220
it's probably a scam.
447
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.519
Right. I think it's a great avenue for some people,
448
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.259
especially with some like intuition based things.
449
00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:07.900
Yeah.
450
00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:10.519
But yeah, I think it is important to also know
451
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:11.980
when you might be getting in a little too deep
452
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:12.769
where you're like, hold on.
453
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:16.119
Like, let me let me think about this for a
454
00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:17.619
minute before I start, you know.
455
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.160
Yes.
456
00:25:19.289 --> 00:25:20.119
Going in too deep.
457
00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:20.609
So.
458
00:25:20.869 --> 00:25:21.109
Yeah.
459
00:25:21.210 --> 00:25:22.950
So that's why I thought that this was an important
460
00:25:23.029 --> 00:25:26.470
article to include in here, because I don't like that
461
00:25:26.509 --> 00:25:29.069
these stories happen. I don't want this to happen to anybody.
462
00:25:29.289 --> 00:25:33.069
And again, it's not Nancy's fault. That guy is predatory.
463
00:25:33.190 --> 00:25:34.769
I mean, that's that's what it is.
464
00:25:34.789 --> 00:25:37.809
Well, the concerning thing is, too, and I understand it
465
00:25:37.849 --> 00:25:40.009
does put the police in a weird spot where.
466
00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:40.109
Yeah.
467
00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:43.140
They can't fully investigate. And this person also moved.
468
00:25:43.900 --> 00:25:46.930
Yeah. So. Oh, I'm sure as soon as he got
469
00:25:46.950 --> 00:25:49.109
that money, he was like, I'm out. Yes.
470
00:25:49.470 --> 00:25:49.650
Yes.
471
00:25:49.750 --> 00:25:54.140
And they did. They didn't disclose who the person was. So,
472
00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:56.619
you know, be wary.
473
00:25:57.890 --> 00:25:59.829
Yes, which, speaking of being wary.
474
00:25:59.849 --> 00:26:01.930
Yeah, let's move on to your next story. Yeah.
475
00:26:02.049 --> 00:26:08.829
This article is actually from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's website, rcmp.ca.
476
00:26:09.309 --> 00:26:13.230
I'm sorry, I just saw the picture. I'm so sorry.
477
00:26:13.430 --> 00:26:15.799
It's like, this is kind of like a funny and
478
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.579
then oh no. Yeah.
479
00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.660
So Wes.
480
00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:21.299
I can't give it up.
481
00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:21.539
Okay.
482
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:28.049
Wes Kelowna, RCMP, investigated concerning prank. Mm-hmm. This article is
483
00:26:28.089 --> 00:26:32.690
from September 8th, 2026. So they're investigating a concerning report
484
00:26:32.730 --> 00:26:36.049
involving a teenage girl who was reportedly chased while walking
485
00:26:36.170 --> 00:26:39.329
in the community by an unknown person. That's not the
486
00:26:39.369 --> 00:26:41.799
funny part. The funny part is they were dressed in
487
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:46.440
a costume resembling cat in a hat. The youth was
488
00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:49.279
able to reach her residence safely. Police are investigating the
489
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.059
circumstances surrounding the incident and are seeking to identify the
490
00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:55.829
individual involved. While wearing a costume is not in itself
491
00:26:55.930 --> 00:26:58.809
a criminal offense, Following or pursuing another person in a
492
00:26:58.849 --> 00:27:01.079
manner that causes them to reasonably fear for their safety
493
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:04.940
may constitute criminal harassment, depending on the circumstances and evidence
494
00:27:05.019 --> 00:27:11.119
gathered during the investigation. Other potential offenses, including assault, uttering threats,
495
00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:14.420
or intimidation, may also be considered where the evidence supports them.
496
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.410
A quote here. Regardless of whether the individual intended the
497
00:27:18.450 --> 00:27:21.190
behavior as a joke, following a young person and causing
498
00:27:21.230 --> 00:27:25.410
them to fear for their safety is extremely concerning, said...
499
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:28.640
I think that's Corporal Garrett's CPL. Is that Corporal?
500
00:27:29.740 --> 00:27:30.400
I believe so.
501
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:31.849
Yeah.
502
00:27:31.990 --> 00:27:36.309
Of the West Kelowna RCMP, continuing his quote, people should
503
00:27:36.329 --> 00:27:39.049
understand that behavior intended as a prank can have serious
504
00:27:39.089 --> 00:27:41.609
consequences when it causes another person to reasonably fear for
505
00:27:41.630 --> 00:27:45.039
their safety. Police are reminding parents and youth that if
506
00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:46.980
they believe they are being followed or pursued, they should
507
00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:50.720
move toward a safe populated location, contact a trusted adult
508
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:53.799
and call 911 if they're in immediate danger. Anyone who
509
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.400
witnesses suspicious behavior has information that may assist investigators is
510
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:00.900
asked to contact the West Kelowna RCMP. And their phone
511
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.220
number is there. I'm not going to read their phone
512
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.920
number out because I don't want people from listening to
513
00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:09.279
the radio to start calling them. But if you do
514
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.160
have information about it, you can look up how to
515
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:17.690
contact them. Yeah, so there is a picture here. The
516
00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:21.589
picture is what makes this a little humorous. This picture
517
00:28:21.710 --> 00:28:23.410
looks like it was taken in all of like 2001
518
00:28:23.410 --> 00:28:29.099
on a flip phone. And it is just, it's tiny,
519
00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:31.440
it's very far away, and it's just kind of a
520
00:28:31.509 --> 00:28:34.710
guy dressed as Cat in the Hat standing there, not
521
00:28:34.750 --> 00:28:37.250
even particularly menacingly, just standing there.
522
00:28:37.369 --> 00:28:39.829
It's like he's underneath some sort of lamppost.
523
00:28:39.910 --> 00:28:42.930
It's like that stereotypical picture you see where, like, you
524
00:28:42.950 --> 00:28:47.250
peek out your window and the person's just, like, standing.
525
00:28:46.210 --> 00:28:48.279
Across the street. And that's what made me kind of
526
00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:49.029
chuckle a little bit.
527
00:28:49.059 --> 00:28:50.539
Yeah.
528
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:56.380
It's this picture, and it's not even, like, I'm trying
529
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.039
to describe like which cat in the hat this is.
530
00:28:58.220 --> 00:29:01.059
Like this reminds me of like the live action cat
531
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:01.500
in the hat.
532
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:06.019
Yes. I think that's what the costume is based off of.
533
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:07.940
I think it's what it's supposed to be. It's not
534
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.240
like the cartoon cat in the hat. It's like the
535
00:29:11.299 --> 00:29:12.640
live action cat in the hat.
536
00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:13.299
Yeah.
537
00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:15.160
And the hat honestly looks kind of flat.
538
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:20.420
It's not a great hat, which is, it makes it
539
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:25.759
both funnier and like scarier. I don't know. Um, don't
540
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.019
harass people. I mean, we already had the whole killer
541
00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:31.589
clowns in the woods thing. Like that's also what it
542
00:29:31.630 --> 00:29:32.829
reminded me of. Yes.
543
00:29:32.869 --> 00:29:36.769
Was the, the clowns that, you know, yes. Popping up
544
00:29:36.829 --> 00:29:37.430
all kinds of places.
545
00:29:37.450 --> 00:29:43.240
So, uh, yeah. so anyway that's all i had there
546
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:46.950
was just if you see the cat in the hat
547
00:29:46.970 --> 00:29:49.410
standing outside your window it may be somebody but trying
548
00:29:49.430 --> 00:29:51.690
to play a bad prank but i would not take
549
00:29:51.710 --> 00:29:52.809
your chances.
550
00:29:53.650 --> 00:29:58.069
Very true very true um our next story actually comes
551
00:29:58.150 --> 00:30:02.059
from coast to coast This is by Tim Bennell.
552
00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:06.119
And it includes a video. And it is a ghost
553
00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:07.730
girl filmed petting a horse.
554
00:30:08.349 --> 00:30:08.670
Yes.
555
00:30:08.769 --> 00:30:13.470
The video is from September 15th. Yes, this is very recent.
556
00:30:13.670 --> 00:30:16.829
This is from the 15th. So, you know, this week.
557
00:30:18.730 --> 00:30:22.240
An eerie piece of security footage from a horse's paddock
558
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.099
shows what appears to be a ghost girl visiting the animal.
559
00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:30.220
Spooky scene was reportedly filmed on August 31st. at an
560
00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:34.589
equine therapy center. During the video on social media the
561
00:30:34.650 --> 00:30:38.329
next day, the animal's owner marveled at the footage that
562
00:30:38.369 --> 00:30:41.390
seemed to capture a little girl in a dress petting
563
00:30:41.450 --> 00:30:47.000
their horse at 11pm last night. Chillingly, the mysterious figure
564
00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:51.500
in the footage appears to be semi-transparent, giving it the
565
00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:55.740
distinct appearance of being a ghost. Yeah. Now, to her credit,
566
00:30:55.859 --> 00:31:00.099
the animal lovers subsequently shared the second video, which is
567
00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:04.420
what they're featuring, wherein she's addressing several questions and comments
568
00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:08.650
concerning the video, stressing that the footage was not generated
569
00:31:08.809 --> 00:31:11.930
with AI. And she explained that the scene was captured
570
00:31:11.950 --> 00:31:15.690
by a security camera that records 20 second.
571
00:31:15.430 --> 00:31:17.849
Long clips upon being activated.
572
00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:22.460
Chillingly, she noted that none of the other devices stationed
573
00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:24.740
around the paddock picked up on any signs of the
574
00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:29.039
peculiar presence. Addressing it, the figure could have just been
575
00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:31.119
a real girl who snuck into the property that night.
576
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:33.470
The odor indicates that the therapy center is situated in
577
00:31:33.509 --> 00:31:36.730
a fairly remote location with a small residential area nearby.
578
00:31:37.269 --> 00:31:38.210
And when she checked with her.
579
00:31:38.130 --> 00:31:42.490
Neighbors, who could not identify the mysterious youngster, she also
580
00:31:42.549 --> 00:31:45.000
pointed out that the scene was filmed at 11 p.m.
581
00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:45.980
On a school night.
582
00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:52.349
Which makes the explanation all the more unfavorable. But, you know,
583
00:31:52.390 --> 00:31:54.369
they're also asking, like, what do you guys think of
584
00:31:54.450 --> 00:31:57.210
this video footage? And, of course, you can weigh in
585
00:31:57.410 --> 00:32:00.240
on the Coast to Coast Facebook page. I haven't watched
586
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:01.049
this video yet. I.
587
00:32:02.859 --> 00:32:05.950
It's a looping video. Well, because I'm watching it on TikTok.
588
00:32:06.569 --> 00:32:08.170
I do not have the sound on. I don't know
589
00:32:08.190 --> 00:32:11.549
if there is sound. But my favorite comment is one
590
00:32:11.569 --> 00:32:14.369
of the top comments just says, everyone knows horses aren't real.
591
00:32:14.390 --> 00:32:17.559
That's the real mystery.
592
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:21.380
That really got me. But it is spooky. I'll give
593
00:32:21.420 --> 00:32:25.829
you a second to look at that there. It's strange. Yeah.
594
00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:30.390
She does look almost a little transparent. Oh, okay. Hold on.
595
00:32:30.390 --> 00:32:31.339
Let me turn on the audio.
596
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.920
It's a guy. It's a guy kind of talking through
597
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:34.660
like what.
598
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:37.880
Oh, you're. Oh, I'm watching the TikTok video and it
599
00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:39.599
just has this spooky music over it.
600
00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:41.700
Yeah. No worries.
601
00:32:42.180 --> 00:32:46.599
Yeah. So like she only looks transparent when she's moving,
602
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:49.140
which like does lend credence to the idea that it
603
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.809
is like a real person, especially because the horse's head
604
00:32:53.849 --> 00:32:56.809
kind of does the same thing as it moves. Right.
605
00:32:57.470 --> 00:32:59.619
My other favorite comment on here that is talking about
606
00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:01.579
how it's amazing how ghosts are always small girls in
607
00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:04.099
long dresses and never somebody in flares from the 70s.
608
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.339
I need me some 70s ghosts.
609
00:33:09.289 --> 00:33:11.410
I mean, you know, isn't that always the story, though,
610
00:33:11.450 --> 00:33:14.630
when we're like, imagine when you meet a ghost from
611
00:33:14.690 --> 00:33:15.079
like the 1990s.
612
00:33:15.069 --> 00:33:15.430
Yeah. Yeah.
613
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.720
You know, like, how different would that be compared to
614
00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:22.559
some of the ghosts that we see?
615
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.500
And so, and the other reason that I'm, like, inclined
616
00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:28.079
to believe that this is, like, a real person, I mean,
617
00:33:28.099 --> 00:33:29.779
maybe it is a ghost, is, like, this horse does
618
00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:32.519
not look spooked in the slightest. And horses are kind
619
00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:35.380
of easily spooked. I mean, some horses, not all of them.
620
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:36.980
They don't all have the same personality, but.
621
00:33:37.349 --> 00:33:37.700
Right.
622
00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:39.900
Yeah, you think they would be, like, a little bit
623
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.410
more of a, of, like, a hesitation with it, with
624
00:33:42.430 --> 00:33:44.789
the person being there, the spirit being there, and things
625
00:33:44.829 --> 00:33:45.289
like that.
626
00:33:45.910 --> 00:33:46.230
You know?
627
00:33:46.930 --> 00:33:47.150
Yeah. Yeah.
628
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:50.680
And none of the other animals seem to respond to
629
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:51.039
it either.
630
00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:55.390
There's another really good comment on here where somebody is
631
00:33:55.450 --> 00:33:57.170
like talking like a medium and they're like, why aren't
632
00:33:57.210 --> 00:33:59.109
you ready to fully cross over? And it's just me
633
00:33:59.150 --> 00:34:01.490
like the horses aren't going to pet themselves, Diane.
634
00:34:03.150 --> 00:34:03.829
That's pretty great.
635
00:34:03.869 --> 00:34:05.390
Nice. Yeah.
636
00:34:05.410 --> 00:34:08.619
That's pretty great. Yeah. Do you want to take us
637
00:34:08.659 --> 00:34:09.340
into our next one?
638
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:11.880
Yeah. Let me close out a tick tock here. I
639
00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:14.659
do not have a tick tock account. I just had
640
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:19.130
to watch that video. Um, This one's kind of also
641
00:34:19.170 --> 00:34:21.289
another one that's like, haha, and then also a little
642
00:34:21.329 --> 00:34:24.630
bit like, oh no. So I did have to get
643
00:34:24.769 --> 00:34:27.530
one AI one in here, but it's kind of funny.
644
00:34:28.610 --> 00:34:35.090
This is from Techspot, written by Rob Thurbrin. Wait, Thubron. Sorry,
645
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:39.300
I'm putting that R in all the wrong places. Yeah, Thubron.
646
00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:43.119
The title is, in a bizarre twist, robots protest in
647
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.579
Poland to warn that AI and automation could take human jobs.
648
00:34:47.030 --> 00:34:50.880
Around 30 machines marched, held signs, and chanted, in quotations,
649
00:34:51.619 --> 00:34:55.719
for tougher regulation. Hold on. I know that there is
650
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:59.559
a video in here, and I'm going to watch this
651
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:01.840
real quick so you can hear the chanting.
652
00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:04.820
Is it in Polish, I'm assuming?
653
00:35:05.829 --> 00:35:06.090
Yes.
654
00:35:06.110 --> 00:35:09.869
Okay. Although audio is not coming through this.
655
00:35:12.309 --> 00:35:13.610
We are not allowed to hear the chanting.
656
00:35:14.510 --> 00:35:16.690
Oh, no. Maybe we're not allowed to hear the chanting.
657
00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:20.130
I don't know why it's not playing the chanting. Oh,
658
00:35:20.170 --> 00:35:24.250
here's another video. Maybe it's in this one. Did I
659
00:35:24.309 --> 00:35:27.170
mute this site? Is that what happened? Yes, I muted
660
00:35:27.190 --> 00:35:39.840
the site. Yes, you can hear them. Yeah, you can
661
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:50.239
hear them chanting in Polish. And now there's a guy talking. Yeah. So, yeah,
662
00:35:50.260 --> 00:35:53.079
you can hear them chanting in Polish. It's honestly very creepy.
663
00:35:53.179 --> 00:35:57.440
They're walking. Obviously, the protesting had to be programmed in,
664
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:03.550
so they're just holding signs and walking in circles. So,
665
00:36:03.590 --> 00:36:06.849
this was outside of the country's digital affairs ministry. The
666
00:36:06.869 --> 00:36:09.750
machines demanded increased regulation of AI and automation to protect
667
00:36:09.789 --> 00:36:12.630
human jobs from being replaced, but this wasn't some kind
668
00:36:12.670 --> 00:36:15.170
of Futurama-like scenario where the robots had decided to stick
669
00:36:15.210 --> 00:36:17.389
up for us meat sacks. Thank you for phrasing it
670
00:36:17.429 --> 00:36:18.329
that way, Robb.
671
00:36:19.769 --> 00:36:22.440
I love that. Makes me feel great about myself. Yeah.
672
00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:26.840
Uh, the protest, which saw around 30 robots chanting slogans,
673
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:30.380
holding signs and marching in circles was organized by democratism.
674
00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:32.800
The group aims to launch a public debate on how
675
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:36.900
rapid AI and advancements in robotization impact the human labor market.
676
00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:40.599
According to its website quote from them is we want regulations.
677
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:43.250
We want rules. We want law. Um, those are some
678
00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:46.070
of the chance played through the loudspeakers. Don't wait, regulate,
679
00:36:46.130 --> 00:36:53.190
protect jobs. Um, Yeah, but they're trying to basically save
680
00:36:53.230 --> 00:36:58.210
us from being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence. Yeah.
681
00:36:58.369 --> 00:37:02.039
I just thought that that was such a bizarre cyberpunk
682
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.340
article of the robots are protesting for us, but only
683
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:06.840
because we programmed them to.
684
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:12.460
No, I mean, it's very interesting. I mean, you always
685
00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:14.579
hear about the people, too, that sometimes are working with
686
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:15.320
this AI stuff.
687
00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:16.900
And they're like, you don't understand.
688
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:17.039
Yeah.
689
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:19.030
Like we need to stop. Yeah.
690
00:37:19.070 --> 00:37:22.949
Like we need to, we gotta, yeah. Like we, we
691
00:37:22.989 --> 00:37:24.369
have to stop.
692
00:37:24.190 --> 00:37:24.730
What we're doing.
693
00:37:25.389 --> 00:37:31.599
Yeah. Huh? Yep. So I don't know. Fascinating. Thank you.
694
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:32.539
Polish robots.
695
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.409
Thank you. Polish robots. Us meat sacks. Appreciate it.
696
00:37:36.539 --> 00:37:37.920
Us meat sacks do appreciate it.
697
00:37:40.849 --> 00:37:44.289
Speaking of meat sacks. I was like, where are you
698
00:37:44.329 --> 00:37:48.230
going with this? Could you survive the Oregon Trail? An
699
00:37:49.369 --> 00:37:52.550
emergency medicine doctor offers tips on how to not die
700
00:37:52.590 --> 00:37:53.829
in the great outdoors.
701
00:37:54.409 --> 00:37:56.320
I forgot that I put this in here because it
702
00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:00.280
goes hand in hand with how to survive a cryptid encounter.
703
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:02.739
Oh my gosh, that's great.
704
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.940
You might not die of dysentery on the trail these days,
705
00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:10.019
but there are still plenty of danger outdoors. This comes
706
00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:16.360
from Popular Science. The article was written by Elaine Reno.
707
00:38:17.570 --> 00:38:19.489
Looks like maybe it came from something called The Conversation.
708
00:38:19.530 --> 00:38:24.230
This was published on September 10th. It was featured in
709
00:38:24.250 --> 00:38:27.170
The Conversation, which I'm guessing is a different publication. However,
710
00:38:27.190 --> 00:38:29.789
we'll just dive in. So if you grew up in
711
00:38:29.809 --> 00:38:33.210
the United States in the 1980s or 1990s, chances are
712
00:38:33.230 --> 00:38:36.250
you remember the Oregon Trail. For many like me, it
713
00:38:36.289 --> 00:38:38.289
was our first computer game and our first introduction to
714
00:38:38.309 --> 00:38:43.510
the wilderness of survival. We would hunt buffalo, forged rivers,
715
00:38:43.889 --> 00:38:46.920
broken wagon wheels, and of course, learned about dysentery years
716
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.440
before Google existed, all while hoping our group would make
717
00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:55.289
it to the Oregon City Alive. Lately, the game has
718
00:38:55.329 --> 00:38:59.219
found a second life. Nostalgic social media posts, memes, and
719
00:38:59.260 --> 00:39:02.079
updated versions of the game have introduced the Oregon Trail
720
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.219
to a new generation, while reminding millennials just how unforgiving
721
00:39:06.260 --> 00:39:10.269
that grainy computer screen journey could be. As a physician
722
00:39:10.309 --> 00:39:14.429
who specializes in emergency and wildlife medicine, I started thinking
723
00:39:14.449 --> 00:39:17.329
about how much of what the game taught me about
724
00:39:17.389 --> 00:39:21.500
surviving in the wilderness still applies to today. After all,
725
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.710
modern hikers and campers have access to tools the pioneers
726
00:39:24.949 --> 00:39:29.570
could never have imagined. And surprisingly, I'd argue that more.
727
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:33.079
lessons from the Oregon Trail hold up than you might think.
728
00:39:34.300 --> 00:39:37.900
So we're going to start listing some of these lessons
729
00:39:37.980 --> 00:39:38.460
and such.
730
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:44.150
Janelle, if I theoretically made an Oregon Trail game and
731
00:39:44.190 --> 00:39:46.650
put us both in it, what would the other three
732
00:39:46.690 --> 00:39:49.570
party members be? Like Mothman or.
733
00:39:49.510 --> 00:39:53.420
Like I think we'd have maybe Noel.
734
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:55.739
Oh, yeah, Noel.
735
00:39:55.900 --> 00:39:58.920
We definitely have Noel with us, our buddy from Creepy Confidential.
736
00:39:58.940 --> 00:40:00.199
You know, definitely check out her.
737
00:40:00.219 --> 00:40:01.940
Yeah, Mrs. Crete.
738
00:40:03.300 --> 00:40:03.900
I think we'd have her.
739
00:40:04.300 --> 00:40:06.030
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we got two more
740
00:40:06.050 --> 00:40:06.820
spots here.
741
00:40:07.170 --> 00:40:10.570
I would want Jeff because he makes those awesome maps.
742
00:40:11.050 --> 00:40:11.449
Jeff.
743
00:40:12.809 --> 00:40:13.670
From Frogman.
744
00:40:13.929 --> 00:40:15.909
I'm going to not put his full name in here
745
00:40:15.949 --> 00:40:18.409
because it's all having first names and then him just
746
00:40:18.429 --> 00:40:19.050
being Jeff.
747
00:40:20.150 --> 00:40:24.340
Jeff. Just Jeff. I think we'd have Jeff. And then
748
00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:25.420
when we need one more person?
749
00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:26.570
Yeah, one more person.
750
00:40:28.710 --> 00:40:29.489
That's a hard one.
751
00:40:30.909 --> 00:40:32.389
I'm entering these names in and I will let you
752
00:40:32.409 --> 00:40:34.869
all know in our next episode who survived. It's not
753
00:40:34.909 --> 00:40:35.519
going to be any of us.
754
00:40:35.530 --> 00:40:36.590
We will give you updates.
755
00:40:36.730 --> 00:40:36.809
Yes.
756
00:40:36.829 --> 00:40:37.989
We will give you updates.
757
00:40:39.329 --> 00:40:42.179
Gosh, who would be a good fifth person? Because I
758
00:40:42.219 --> 00:40:44.860
feel like, you know, Jeff's got the maps covered. Me, you,
759
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:48.019
and Miss Creep, we got... By the way, it made.
760
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:49.440
Me select who I was and I had to pick
761
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.019
the carpenter from Ohio because the carpenter's from Ohio. And
762
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:55.750
I went, well, who am I? It only let me
763
00:40:55.849 --> 00:40:56.630
pick one for me.
764
00:40:56.650 --> 00:40:58.269
Oh, rude.
765
00:40:58.469 --> 00:41:01.199
So I don't know who you are. Okay.
766
00:41:02.059 --> 00:41:07.340
Well, that's all right. We'll figure that out later. Who
767
00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:08.400
could be our fifth?
768
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:10.980
Should it be Braxy? Should we just bring Braxy with us?
769
00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:13.099
Let's just bring Braxy. You know what? Let's just bring
770
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:14.900
along Cryptid. Yeah, let's bring along Braxy.
771
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:19.530
It's just Alex, Janelle, Mrs. Creep, Jeff. I was going
772
00:41:19.550 --> 00:41:22.710
to write Noel, but it was funnier Braxy. Are these
773
00:41:22.750 --> 00:41:23.429
names correct?
774
00:41:23.510 --> 00:41:23.769
Wait.
775
00:41:25.429 --> 00:41:27.949
Yeah. Should I? Of course. Hold on. I'm going to
776
00:41:27.969 --> 00:41:34.010
change Mrs. Creep to Oh, no. I'm going to change
777
00:41:34.030 --> 00:41:36.400
that to Noel. Okay, anyway. Continue with your.
778
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.159
All right, so these will be some tips for you
779
00:41:39.219 --> 00:41:40.659
while you play your way through.
780
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:42.920
Yes. Clean water is crucial.
781
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:43.199
Okay.
782
00:41:43.460 --> 00:41:47.000
Oregon Trail game made dysentery famous for an entire generation.
783
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:47.719
I know that.
784
00:41:49.590 --> 00:41:54.349
Fortunately, advances in sanitation, hand hygiene, and antibiotics have made
785
00:41:54.469 --> 00:41:57.329
large breakouts like those the wagon trails and military camps
786
00:41:57.369 --> 00:42:00.360
experience less common today. at least in the United States.
787
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:05.539
But that does not mean gastrointestinal illnesses have disappeared. Travelers'
788
00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:08.659
diarrhea and cholera are still an important cause of illness
789
00:42:08.699 --> 00:42:13.340
around the world. Untreated water, poor hand hygiene, and contaminated
790
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.460
food can still.
791
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:17.619
Derail any trip.
792
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:22.340
So habits such as having purified water, washing hands before meals,
793
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:26.199
and using the bathroom, and practicing good camp hygiene remains
794
00:42:26.260 --> 00:42:30.980
one of the easiest ways to stay healthy outdoors. Of course,
795
00:42:31.340 --> 00:42:35.300
going off of purified water, water purification is important with
796
00:42:35.340 --> 00:42:38.539
wilderness travel in the United States, as in many areas
797
00:42:38.579 --> 00:42:42.769
of the world. They are saying that there are many easy,
798
00:42:42.809 --> 00:42:46.130
cost-effective ways to purify water, like boiling, filtration, and treating
799
00:42:46.150 --> 00:42:49.710
with chemical disinfectants. But each method has its own downsides.
800
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:54.869
So boiling is often the most accessible method. It can
801
00:42:54.889 --> 00:42:58.849
kill bacteria and viruses and parasites, but will not remove
802
00:42:58.889 --> 00:43:02.389
water contaminants. So we're talking like your heavy metals, lead
803
00:43:02.489 --> 00:43:09.500
and arsenic and industrial contaminants like your pesticides. You also
804
00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:11.760
want to consider boiling your water for at least one
805
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.079
to three minutes, depending on.
806
00:43:13.019 --> 00:43:14.469
The altitude to purify it.
807
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:18.400
They're saying water filtration is an easy option for backpackers,
808
00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:21.420
but is less effective in removing viruses.
809
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:22.059
So yeah.
810
00:43:23.170 --> 00:43:25.889
They are, of course, saying if you're unable to boil water, many.
811
00:43:26.309 --> 00:43:28.329
There are other ways to ensure water safety is to
812
00:43:28.349 --> 00:43:31.570
filter it and then use another method of, like, disinfecting.
813
00:43:31.590 --> 00:43:32.409
Yeah.
814
00:43:32.469 --> 00:43:34.889
So, might need to break it down just a little bit.
815
00:43:35.210 --> 00:43:36.289
Yeah.
816
00:43:37.329 --> 00:43:40.030
It's also saying respect all waterways. We no longer have
817
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:43.079
to ford the river with oxen, but rivers, lakes, and
818
00:43:43.099 --> 00:43:46.000
other bodies of water present their own unique hazards. Like,
819
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.260
for example, you know, some of the best swimmers can
820
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.630
drown in riptides. So crossing bodies of water only if
821
00:43:52.849 --> 00:43:56.150
necessary and avoid any water crossing if there has been
822
00:43:56.210 --> 00:43:59.429
recent rainfall as water levels may rise and the current
823
00:43:59.469 --> 00:44:03.190
can become faster and stronger. There are also submerged objects,
824
00:44:03.210 --> 00:44:05.889
which you might not be able to see, such as rocks,
825
00:44:05.949 --> 00:44:09.250
fallen trees and other debris. Of course, also flash flooding
826
00:44:09.449 --> 00:44:12.840
and things of that nature. So they're recommending a Coast
827
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:17.179
Guard approved life jacket if possible when you're crossing water or,
828
00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:21.289
you know, take a boat. Another key thing is to
829
00:44:21.329 --> 00:44:22.849
be ready to go the distance.
830
00:44:23.289 --> 00:44:23.590
Yes.
831
00:44:25.090 --> 00:44:27.820
One thing Oregon Trail captured well is how distance changes everything.
832
00:44:28.219 --> 00:44:31.500
Sprained ankle in the city usually means an inconvenient trip home,
833
00:44:31.780 --> 00:44:35.000
but a sprained ankle five miles from a trailhead may
834
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:36.260
mean somebody needs to carry you.
835
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:37.219
Yes.
836
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:42.719
Same thing with other wilderness concerns, dehydration, heat illness, infection,
837
00:44:42.739 --> 00:44:44.019
I mean, even blisters.
838
00:44:44.260 --> 00:44:46.480
So, of course, always have a first aid kit and
839
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:47.199
think ahead.
840
00:44:47.219 --> 00:44:48.260
Yeah.
841
00:44:49.659 --> 00:44:53.010
You know, ask yourself what do you do like what
842
00:44:53.050 --> 00:44:55.269
would you do if your hike took twice as long
843
00:44:55.369 --> 00:44:57.510
as expected or if you unexpectedly had to spend the
844
00:44:57.550 --> 00:45:03.289
night outside um carry enough food and water check the
845
00:45:03.349 --> 00:45:06.420
weather prepare for things to change extra clothes things like
846
00:45:06.460 --> 00:45:10.460
that um it's also mentioned no one tackled the Oregon
847
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:13.599
Trail alone because it meant you would not survive there
848
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:16.929
is a lesson there in solo travel and solo mountaineering
849
00:45:17.909 --> 00:45:21.880
um So, traveling alone means, like, a minor injury, such
850
00:45:21.940 --> 00:45:24.860
as a spring ankle. Could mean crawling to the trailhead
851
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:26.679
to call for help or waiting until you are identified
852
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:29.909
as missing. So, if you cannot find someone to travel
853
00:45:29.949 --> 00:45:32.530
with you, provide an itinerary and location to a trusted
854
00:45:32.590 --> 00:45:35.110
person and make sure they know when you are expected
855
00:45:35.130 --> 00:45:35.989
to return.
856
00:45:35.829 --> 00:45:36.349
And check in.
857
00:45:38.989 --> 00:45:41.389
Another key one is, of course, respect your wildlife. Large
858
00:45:41.469 --> 00:45:44.429
animals still pose a threat across the country. While there
859
00:45:44.469 --> 00:45:46.409
may be fewer bison.
860
00:45:46.449 --> 00:45:52.050
The game has started playing. And it's making noise.
861
00:45:52.130 --> 00:45:53.809
It's okay.
862
00:45:54.510 --> 00:45:57.440
Sorry about that. I was making sure we had supplies
863
00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:58.000
for our trip.
864
00:45:58.900 --> 00:45:59.800
Of course, of course.
865
00:45:59.820 --> 00:46:02.659
We got our Coast Guard approved life vests and everything.
866
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:06.840
While there may be fewer bison, animals are still, you know,
867
00:46:07.449 --> 00:46:10.869
in nature, so to serve respect. Brown bears, for example,
868
00:46:11.110 --> 00:46:13.809
no one deserves to be, no selfie is going to
869
00:46:13.829 --> 00:46:14.590
be worth being.
870
00:46:14.449 --> 00:46:15.269
Attacked by one.
871
00:46:15.659 --> 00:46:19.289
Venomous snakes are present throughout the United States.
872
00:46:19.510 --> 00:46:19.730
Yes.
873
00:46:20.150 --> 00:46:23.889
You know, they continue to cause significant injury and death.
874
00:46:25.309 --> 00:46:27.980
Anti-venom is available in many major hospitals. But once again,
875
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:30.199
if you're traveling there alone, how do you kind of
876
00:46:30.219 --> 00:46:30.860
like get there?
877
00:46:31.139 --> 00:46:34.579
You always want a doctor in your organ trail group. Yes.
878
00:46:34.739 --> 00:46:35.659
That's probably what we're missing.
879
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.340
Also, if you are bitten, do not try to cut
880
00:46:39.409 --> 00:46:40.829
the wound or suck out the venom.
881
00:46:40.849 --> 00:46:40.929
Okay.
882
00:46:41.530 --> 00:46:44.349
They are recommending that you keep the person calm, minimize
883
00:46:44.469 --> 00:46:48.679
unnecessary movement because it prevents the venom from reaching, you know,
884
00:46:48.699 --> 00:46:52.219
your heart sooner and focus on getting them to professional
885
00:46:52.260 --> 00:46:56.179
medical care. Um, they are saying for smaller animals like
886
00:46:56.219 --> 00:46:59.019
deer and squirrels, maybe more docile animals, please do not
887
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.699
feed them. Yeah. You know, it is dangerous for the
888
00:47:01.780 --> 00:47:03.480
animals to get used to receiving human food.
889
00:47:03.780 --> 00:47:04.400
They also could.
890
00:47:04.300 --> 00:47:10.780
Carry diseases, um, rabies, um, And lepotrosis can be fatal
891
00:47:10.820 --> 00:47:14.369
to people. So more or less, if you see an animal,
892
00:47:14.429 --> 00:47:16.849
just keep your distance, you know, respect them from there.
893
00:47:18.949 --> 00:47:21.030
Something else that's called out is technology is not a
894
00:47:21.070 --> 00:47:24.269
backup plan. Cell phones, GPS apps, emergency beacons may be
895
00:47:24.550 --> 00:47:28.219
able to call for help in some places, but not always.
896
00:47:28.460 --> 00:47:31.679
Not always. This is literally like a lot of the
897
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:34.260
advice that I did give out during how to survive
898
00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:38.670
a perfect encounter. Exactly. I feel so vindicated right now. Yes.
899
00:47:38.769 --> 00:47:41.449
Like definitely download maps for like offline use, you know,
900
00:47:41.469 --> 00:47:43.429
for like your GPS. Cause once again, that will not
901
00:47:43.469 --> 00:47:46.349
be able to stay on there full time. Um, at
902
00:47:46.389 --> 00:47:48.190
least you'll be able to get around it. And additionally,
903
00:47:48.230 --> 00:47:51.989
an unlocked iPhone that isn't restricted to one carrier is
904
00:47:52.030 --> 00:47:54.880
also a great way to store and communicate data such
905
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:57.460
as travel plans and copies of medical history. So it
906
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.440
can ping off of more towers than just your cell providers,
907
00:48:00.820 --> 00:48:06.159
potential like single tower or one tower. Um, this gets
908
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:07.960
into a little bit more like there's a lot here.
909
00:48:07.980 --> 00:48:09.539
I think, I think where I'm getting close to the end,
910
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:11.599
but yeah, it talks about like altitude illness. So like
911
00:48:11.619 --> 00:48:15.760
your own environments have their own situations like extreme heat
912
00:48:15.780 --> 00:48:21.219
and dehydration, mountain travelers face rapid changing weather, lightning, high altitude,
913
00:48:21.710 --> 00:48:26.929
coastal explorers may experience riptides, waves, cliffs, things of that nature.
914
00:48:27.550 --> 00:48:31.150
So always plan ahead, know what you're potentially in for. Um,
915
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.800
A lot of things here are talking about altitude sickness,
916
00:48:35.820 --> 00:48:38.360
where most people experience it within 24 hours of ascent.
917
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:43.929
Symptoms include headache, fatigue, nausea, and problems with sleep. So
918
00:48:44.010 --> 00:48:48.889
anything with, like, confusion, difficulty walking, shortness of breath, or
919
00:48:48.909 --> 00:48:53.550
coughing up significant phlegm could prompt an immediate descent.
920
00:48:54.110 --> 00:48:54.309
Yeah.
921
00:48:54.489 --> 00:49:00.070
There are medications to help prevent this, but... You can
922
00:49:00.110 --> 00:49:01.989
always go back to the mountain. So if you are
923
00:49:02.050 --> 00:49:04.920
experiencing this, you're better off leaving, making sure you're more
924
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:07.500
prepared next time, and then try your attempt again.
925
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:09.440
You can always try again.
926
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:12.340
You can always try again as long as you walk away.
927
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:14.590
You can always try again. There's nothing wrong with that.
928
00:49:14.670 --> 00:49:15.650
Yeah. You learn.
929
00:49:16.489 --> 00:49:18.550
You realize where it went wrong. You realize how your
930
00:49:18.570 --> 00:49:21.619
body responds to those environments. especially if it's not familiar
931
00:49:21.659 --> 00:49:22.019
to them.
932
00:49:22.460 --> 00:49:26.880
Yeah. People have different amounts of tolerance for that kind
933
00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:30.050
of stuff. It just is. Yeah.
934
00:49:30.650 --> 00:49:31.750
Yeah.
935
00:49:32.530 --> 00:49:34.829
So there is like a little conclusion here. Basically, what
936
00:49:34.909 --> 00:49:36.730
made part of the Oregon Trail game memorable is that
937
00:49:36.769 --> 00:49:37.650
every decision mattered.
938
00:49:38.179 --> 00:49:38.860
It does.
939
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:43.460
Success often, yeah, success often depended less on luck, more
940
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:47.719
on planning ahead, and the lesson still applies. She did say,
941
00:49:47.739 --> 00:49:50.119
when people ask me what emergency medical skill everyone should
942
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.760
know before heading to the outdoors, it is preparation. Thoughtful
943
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:56.860
planning prevents far more emergencies than a simple piece of equipment.
944
00:49:57.579 --> 00:49:58.960
A few people who spend a lot of time outdoors,
945
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.199
I recommend taking a wilderness first aid course. This course
946
00:50:02.219 --> 00:50:04.860
does teach practical skills to provide medical care in a
947
00:50:04.900 --> 00:50:10.070
wilderness environment. So nature is no less powerful or unforgiving
948
00:50:10.190 --> 00:50:12.059
than it was in the Oregon Trail, and treating it
949
00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:15.900
with respect is essential. So combining advances in modern medicine
950
00:50:16.380 --> 00:50:19.000
with thoughtful preparation helps to stack the odds in your
951
00:50:19.059 --> 00:50:23.789
favor so that just as every Oregon Trail player hoped,
952
00:50:24.210 --> 00:50:25.710
everyone in the party makes it to the end.
953
00:50:26.170 --> 00:50:29.289
Yes. Yeah. And we shall see if we all make
954
00:50:29.349 --> 00:50:30.030
it to the end.
955
00:50:30.150 --> 00:50:31.789
We will see if we all make it to the end.
956
00:50:31.809 --> 00:50:33.670
And I just want to know, who am I?
957
00:50:34.539 --> 00:50:37.460
Yeah, I was wanting to find out. I literally got
958
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.320
this booted up to the first screen, by the way.
959
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:41.980
We are leaving in May. And it's asking me what
960
00:50:42.019 --> 00:50:44.719
my choice is, and it won't let me type. So
961
00:50:44.739 --> 00:50:48.909
I don't know what's going on. I hope I don't
962
00:50:48.929 --> 00:50:51.010
have to start over. I feel like I made good
963
00:50:51.070 --> 00:50:51.769
choices there.
964
00:50:55.449 --> 00:50:58.230
Is there a cartographer option? Because that would be Jeff.
965
00:50:59.449 --> 00:51:01.130
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
966
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:03.800
You know what I mean? Like, that's where my brain
967
00:51:03.820 --> 00:51:04.619
goes with some of this.
968
00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:07.000
I don't know why this is not letting me type.
969
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:11.579
That's sad. There we go. Oh, there's an on-screen keyboard,
970
00:51:11.619 --> 00:51:17.159
and that's also not working. What is your choice? May
971
00:51:17.179 --> 00:51:23.900
I make a choice? No, maybe I have to start over. Well,
972
00:51:24.980 --> 00:51:28.119
we'll conclude this experiment and see what happens, and I'll
973
00:51:28.139 --> 00:51:28.820
let you all know. Yes.
974
00:51:30.179 --> 00:51:31.219
We will keep you all posted.
975
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:32.570
I feel like I made such a good decision.
976
00:51:32.610 --> 00:51:34.929
Do we have time for one more story?
977
00:51:36.250 --> 00:51:39.639
We're at 51 minutes. We could do a quick one. Ooh.
978
00:51:40.389 --> 00:51:40.710
Okay.
979
00:51:41.590 --> 00:51:42.280
We could do a quick one.
980
00:51:42.409 --> 00:51:45.099
Well, this one's yours, so I'll let you take it away.
981
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:46.860
You go for it.
982
00:51:47.179 --> 00:51:52.380
You know, life finds a way. And apparently Tyrannosaurus Rex
983
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:57.510
was warm-blooded, a new study confirms. This is also from PopSci,
984
00:51:57.530 --> 00:52:01.539
written by Andrew Paul. The king of the dinosaurs had
985
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:05.920
an internal temperature similar to you. Contrary to the assumptions
986
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:10.820
of early paleontologists, most dinosaurs weren't lumbering slowpokes. Centuries of
987
00:52:10.940 --> 00:52:15.449
evolutionary reevaluation now indicates the ancestors of present-day birds didn't
988
00:52:15.489 --> 00:52:18.949
simply keep a steady pace. Many of them boasted impressive speed.
989
00:52:19.570 --> 00:52:23.849
These active lifestyles also forced scientists to reconsider another anatomical detail.
990
00:52:24.610 --> 00:52:28.179
Once thought universally cold-blooded, a lot of dinosaurs eventually evolved
991
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:32.539
warmer blood. Thanks to recent technological breakthroughs, paleontologists have finally
992
00:52:32.579 --> 00:52:37.900
settled a long-time dinosaur debate. Was the T-Rex warm-blooded or cold-blooded?
993
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:43.710
And a study published on September 16th in the journal
994
00:52:44.010 --> 00:52:49.280
Science Advances settles the debate. The famous Tyrant Kings. Had
995
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:53.739
an internal temperature surprisingly similar to today's warm-blooded humans, around
996
00:52:53.739 --> 00:52:59.489
97 degrees Fahrenheit. No one's been able to make temperature
997
00:52:59.510 --> 00:53:03.150
measurements like this before. Robert Eagle, a study co-author and
998
00:53:03.190 --> 00:53:06.349
geobiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in
999
00:53:06.389 --> 00:53:13.030
a statement. Isn't that wild? They had the same temperature
1000
00:53:13.090 --> 00:53:16.340
as us. Huh. Yeah.
1001
00:53:18.659 --> 00:53:18.800
Yeah.
1002
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.820
Apparently, their avian descendants, their range is normally in the
1003
00:53:23.820 --> 00:53:25.829
104 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit.
1004
00:53:26.489 --> 00:53:27.010
Oh, okay.
1005
00:53:27.409 --> 00:53:33.690
So that's interesting. Yeah. Huh. Anyway, T-Rexes are warm-blooded. I
1006
00:53:33.730 --> 00:53:35.510
just thought that was a fun thing to add in there.
1007
00:53:35.869 --> 00:53:37.030
That is cool. Yeah.
1008
00:53:37.530 --> 00:53:42.280
Yeah. But I think that'll wrap us up for Weird News.
1009
00:53:42.300 --> 00:53:48.460
For sure. Yeah. Yeah. I got nothing else.
1010
00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:48.860
I don't know.
1011
00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:51.840
My brain is suddenly gone as soon as I said that.
1012
00:53:54.210 --> 00:53:57.030
It's all good. It's all good.
1013
00:53:57.050 --> 00:53:58.789
We're getting back on that T-Rex saddle.
1014
00:53:59.829 --> 00:54:00.349
I know.
1015
00:54:00.510 --> 00:54:00.750
I know.
1016
00:54:00.789 --> 00:54:03.980
Hopping back on there. But I do think, do you
1017
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:04.519
want to talk.
1018
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:07.280
A little bit about our plans coming up?
1019
00:54:08.300 --> 00:54:08.880
Which plans?
1020
00:54:09.139 --> 00:54:10.019
Before we sign off.
1021
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:10.719
Which plans?
1022
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.760

00:54:47.150 --> 00:54:50.409
on that note, we can go ahead and sign off. Yeah,
