A
So, evidently, there's this thing going around right now where people are videotaping their kids when they're talking to Alexa or Echo or whatever they have in their house, and it's, like, terrifying these kids, and some of them even go right to the ground and just try to hide.
B
What? What? Hey, Google, what the is going on?
C
Right?
B
Oh, my God. It's like these. See?
A
So they know something we don't.
C
These people need to throw these things in the trash.
B
Yeah. Hey, welcome back to whatever the hell this is. Sauna Edition. Oh, my God, it is so hot. I'm dying. At some point, we might have to turn on the air, and you might hear a slight humming sound in the background. No, it's not Spencer's pacemaker. No. Jeez.
C
Oh, my God.
B
It's not Rylan's dildo. It is our air conditioning. So, yeah, I'm sorry about that. Please forgive us. What?
C
That was just intense. Right off the front.
D
That was a delayed reaction, too.
B
No, Spencer's pacemaker is killing it, by the way, lately. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
C
No, it's not saving it. It's not killing it.
E
It's living it.
B
It's saving it, diva.
D
It's killing it. If I go near magnets.
B
Oh, right. Which is something I did not know.
C
That is a new fear unlocked for me.
E
Well, a lot of baby toys have magnets in them.
C
No.
D
Good thing I don't interact with baby toys that often.
B
Oh, gosh.
F
Does it have to be a really strong magnet or. That's enough.
D
It's pretty strong, I think.
B
Okay, so, for example, if you guys saw the new Final Destination movie. But also, side note, it happened in real life, like, a week after the movie came out, which is crazy. A guy got sucked into an MRI machine, which is.
D
Oh, yeah, I saw that.
B
No. Yeah, so it's very scary. The MRI machine is a huge magnet.
D
Yeah.
B
And that's why you can't have metal or, like, piercings or anything near it. So then Spencer's like, oh, yeah, I can't do that because of the pacemaker. And I was like, oh, I didn't know that. And you said it's any magnet, what would happen?
D
Yeah, well, I mean, it's all. I don't really know. I mean, I know that the wires, like, go into my heart are just, like, in my veins, so I think it might rip it out of the vein, and then I would die from internal.
C
Okay, so this is a final destination death.
F
Yeah.
D
But you can't see it. It would just be like, oh, oh, no, Spencer.
B
Anyways, how did we get here? Osama.
A
Oh, his pacemaker is killing it.
E
Killing it.
B
Well, I know having a pacemaker is, like, a big deal, and it's a life struggle, really. And it's something that you fight with every day and something. I'm always here with you on this journey.
D
Thank you so much.
B
But Lizzy's going through something worse right now. She has a lot of burps.
E
Burps.
D
And we strapped a mic to her head.
B
And she's really nervous about it because right now she's burping constantly. Because of her pregnancy, I'm assuming. So she's worried.
E
Yes, it's because of the pregnancy.
B
She's worried that we're gonna hear it because the microphone's so close to her mouth.
E
Well, it's inescapable.
B
Right. But, Lizzy, feel free to let your burps fly.
C
We have a contest. Who's the loudest?
B
This is gonna make me vomit. So, wait, how are you doing? How close are we?
E
We're a little over halfway.
D
O. Oh, yeah.
C
It's an end of the year baby.
E
He is imminent. He'll be here by the 23rd, probably.
B
Oh, my God. Yep. Well, that's very exciting. Very big news. Everybody in the audience right now is very excited for you. They're all leaving their comments saying they wish you good luck. Just kidding. They're all leaving comments being mad at us because of what we did to Jared. What?
C
What?
A
What did we do to me?
C
Oh, did you put a pink light behind him? Is that what it is?
B
We have not seen this type of controversy in the comments, you know, in some years.
C
You're doubling down.
B
O. Okay, first of all, listen, it was a mad rush today. We were all getting here, getting ready, doing thumbnails, doing everything. I didn't really think about it until we sat down and I was like, oh, fuck, I forgot to tell them we need to change the light. But here's what I'm thinking. Let's do it together. Because everybody's upset because the pink light, I guess, is not good for Jared's pink face. It clashes.
C
You're really coming one after another today.
A
I'm aware that I'm pink. I'm aware that I'm pink. It's okay.
C
It's fine.
A
I've come to accept it.
B
But the weird thing is, at home, the pink light looks fun. Fine. So I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the couch color. Maybe.
F
I think there was a lot more separation between the back Wall. And Jared, there was a lot more colors going on. It wasn't right. Like it's.
B
Yeah.
D
It wasn't a white wall. It looks, you know.
B
And it wasn't 278 degrees.
D
Yeah, right.
B
That also could be not helping. It's very hot. So should we play around right now and test out some new Jared colors? Let's do it. Okay. Spencer, do you wanna or. Oh, you have it on your phone.
D
Chris has it on his phone.
F
Let me see if it'll connect for me.
C
You can do this remotely? I'm gon.
B
Okay. What is that?
C
So this Jared can't see it.
D
So it was.
C
It was this.
B
Okay.
C
Trust us, Jared.
A
I trust we could do more.
F
I mean, I don't know how far.
E
What about like green?
B
Ooh.
E
What color are your eyes, Jared?
C
Green doesn't really work.
A
Green.
C
I don't think it works with the couch. To break it to your.
F
No, green.
E
Oh, you don't think pink?
C
I like blue actually.
D
Well, Shane's already blue.
B
Shane's a blue.
C
Oh, it's a brotherly brawl.
B
I mean purple is fun, but Chris is.
F
Yeah, I can. I can take pink if you want to take purple.
B
Guys, this is too much.
A
We don't want to in the pink.
B
Guys, let us know in the comments. What color background should Jared have? And whatever gets the most upvotes we will use. I'm kind of leaning purple.
A
I'm purple leaning myself.
B
Maybe Chris could be green.
D
He's already got a green chair.
B
So we have ideas.
F
And even a light. Even like somewhere between green and yellow we don't like.
B
Right.
F
Something like this. How do we feel?
B
Kind of like a chartreuse dispenser. Have a color? No, he's just white.
D
I'm just plain old.
B
He is white. I'm just Spencer, he's a very like white person. Whoa, whoa. Do you know what I mean?
E
Yeah.
D
Okay.
C
He's got a blanket ladder.
B
I don't mean it in a bad way.
C
No, I am.
D
I am like culturally the epitome of like, look at this white boy over here.
B
Yeah. Like a sandwich.
C
Like what's your ancestry?
B
White.
D
White.
F
Like a loves pumpkin spice latte kind of white.
C
No, no, like a cracker bear. Not gay.
B
What?
C
Did you see the controversy?
D
Yeah. That was crazy about Cracker Barrel.
B
Honest? No, because every time I see the headline I just. I don't know. I can't get involved in a Cracker Barrel controversy. I just don't care enough. What does that mean?
C
Well, Spencer and I are on it.
D
It's pretty boring, honestly. It's so, like, stupid.
C
Did you guys hear about how people are getting blowjobs through sunroofs? What, are you here for it? I was on the show.
E
I was listening Craigslist.
C
I forgot I just got one off Craigslist.
D
Is that like a hamster? Like, yes.
C
So you do know what it is. It's called hamstering.
F
I think I have to go hamstering.
B
Hold on. What?
D
Imagine getting cut with your dick through a sunroof.
B
Oh, my God. Imagine enclosing.
C
I just thought it would be too hot. Like, the car if it's sitting in the sun, and then you're, like, laying on the aluminum car and some pearl is.
B
You're laying on top of the car.
C
Dig through it. And then whoever is being a hamster.
D
Okay.
C
I mean, any way you look at.
E
A blowjob, it's kind of hamstering.
B
Right?
C
This makes it specifically worse.
E
I mean, it makes it specifically more uncomfortable for all parties.
B
Yeah.
F
When no one here has hamsters.
D
What news site are you seeing?
F
I'd give it a try.
D
I don't want to. That's not appealing.
C
Can you imagine driving past somebody getting hamstered? Just their butt.
B
You know, this is actually a perfect segue because I've been trying to incorporate new lingo and, like, catchphrases into my life because I feel like I'm important. Thank. Yes. I feel like I'm getting bored with my current, you know, repertoire. Is that how you say that?
E
I don't think.
B
No. Okay. Thank you. Of words. So I've been playing around with a few. You know. My new one right now is Aichihuawa. Ooh, I've incorporated that. My second new one, which actually Morgan gave me this one is Jimmy Jenga.
D
Well, she gave me that one.
A
I'm seeing a pattern here. I'm saying something.
B
Yeah. So that. That's, like, where I'm at right now. So I'm hoping by the end of the year, I have, like, five more. So if any of you guys feel a word or feel something that. That feels fun to say, let me know so I can incorporate it.
D
Was it. Did it come from anything or just came from your brain?
B
No, I chew. I do believe I might have directly ripped that from Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank. That's good, because he tends to say that, you know, if somebody pitches something.
A
The high evaluations typically get him there.
B
So, Jared, do you have any lingo or words that I can steal from you?
A
U. I would say probably not.
D
Wait, this is not true. You have a lingo that broke into my friend group.
B
Oh, well, okay.
A
Well, first say that, because I'm very flattered by it.
B
What did I do?
D
Well, your famous term, cracking a fatty.
B
Oh.
D
Which you need to do in order to hamster some to get hamstered. But cracking a fatty. Actually getting hard has completely made it into my friend group. And they all.
B
Wait, really? How?
D
I said it. One day, they were like, what the fuck is that? I was like, it means getting harder. They were like, I like that.
C
So we all.
A
One thing I enjoy doing is integrating bro into everything.
B
Bro.
A
So, like, recently I called my friend Roseph Gordon Lovitz.
B
Good one.
A
Or rotisserie chicken. Rose Canseco.
D
Oh, bro.
A
Pechi.
C
I just like brother, but I like to.
A
I like to put bro in front of things. I like. Instead of what's up, bro? I like to add a little bit of nuance to it.
B
I put that in front of everything.
D
There you go.
E
I'm calling my boys the Bromokays because their last name's Homokay.
B
Oh, we should put Homo in front of everything. That's fun. Yeah. Okay, well, okay, I'm just gonna also bring something up not to like, woe is me. Homo. Woe is me. But if I seem a little off today, it's because I'm dealing with some very bizarre medical issue.
C
What?
B
Uh. Oh. Time for Shane's medical update.
E
Is there a song?
C
I hope the gods will ship me.
B
I hope so. Okay, this is very complicated and very confusing. I don't understand what happened, and it actually correlates with you.
C
Are you hiding something from me?
E
Should we scoot over?
C
I was with you all morning and I heard nothing of this.
B
Okay, so on Jared's birthday, June 29, we were on the freeway driving to Jared's place, and my ears popped, which is normal for when you're on the freeway. But then one of them didn't pop back, which I thought was kind of weird, but I was like, okay, she's just. She's a little slow today, so. Okay, whatever. So then. Then a couple days go by, and I'm like, hello? She still hasn't popped yet. Okay, whatever. Then I got the viruses and the COVID and this and that. Whatever. Ears still clogged now. It's been three months. So I went to an ear doctor and they did, like, this ear test, which was crazy by the way they put these things. And he's like, you're gonna feel pressure. And I was like, huh? And then I was in, like, this Stranger Things like, weird room with holes in it. And he was like, say the word backwards. What's happening?
E
Are you serious?
B
It was scary, but I, like, kind of liked it. It was kind of fun. So then the doctor comes back in with my ear test results and he was just like, so basically one of your ears just needs to pop. So it just hasn't popped yet. And I was like, okay. So he's like, just kind of have to wait it out or get surgery at some point.
A
I was like, okay, it is crazy that we don't have the technology yet to pop in here.
B
I was like, can't he take a plunger something? Can't he just put his lips on my ear?
A
I think if you plug your nose and blow out real hard, it'll pop your ears. But I've done that and shit came out of my eye.
B
What?
E
What, like poop?
B
Not like poop. Whoa.
A
But like, you. And it freaked me out, so I don't have to do that anymore.
C
That's crazy.
A
Well, don't, dude, don't. You're gonna pop your eyes out of your head.
C
Both my ears pop.
A
It's an ick. It's an ick of mine.
B
Okay.
E
I think it's everyone's ick.
B
So, yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to pop my ear without, you know, doing that. But basically I thought it was kind of like, whatever, like, who cares? No big deal. And then I was like. He goes, well, yeah, it just depressured or something. There's a pressure issue. So I was just like, okay. And then I was like, well, weird question, but like, what about getting on a plane? Because we had. We were gonna go to Vegas at some point soon maybe. And I was like, what about getting on a plane? And he. And I was like, is that dangerous? He goes, could be. What? What do you. What?
A
You don't. You don't want to do that. If you have any kind of sinus congestion or anything in your ears, do not get on a plane. No, I'm telling you, I had a four hour flight one time when Sandy lived in Georgia. Coming back and I was having sinus issues. I cried the whole time.
B
Oh, my God.
A
It was the worst pain of my life.
B
What? Well, this is.
A
I gotta save you from it.
E
But this isn't congestion.
A
No, but it has some kind of congestion because that's why his ear is.
B
Indeed my tube is malfunctioning and it's. Right now it's suck and it needs to let it out, babes.
C
But he said there's no backup at this point. He said sometimes this can just take three months to resolve itself after you've had. He had, like, three different illnesses in a row, so. He said sometimes it takes three months.
B
Yeah, he said that my eardrum could burst on the. Wow.
A
Yeah, don't do it.
B
So, like, what am I gonna do now? Drive to Vegas?
A
Take a sleeping pill before it.
B
Yeah, so that's what's happening right now. Right now I can, like, not really hear out of this ear, and it makes me kind of dizzy and kind of weird. So that's why I've been weird for the last three months, guys.
E
That's a fair reason.
F
Yeah.
D
I'm so sorry.
B
I mean, it's fine. Who cares? But I just wanted to let you guys know if at some point during the show, my ear burst. That's why.
D
Oh.
B
And to not panic. Well, speaking of making things come out of my body.
A
Ooh, I'm very intrigued.
D
Where is this going?
B
I have to pee really quick. But when we come, stay tuned, because not only do we have rabbit holes, but we have some of the craziest conspiracies we've ever done. I know I say that every time, but these ones really me up. If you have kids, these ones are gonna really you up. That sounds really dark. Should we all.
C
We have kids.
B
Wow. All right, we'll be right back in a second. Stay tuned. Hey, sorry to interrupt the episode. Please don't go anywhere, guys. This is my favorite time of year. I have been waiting for this. Oh, yeah. What am I talking about? It's fall, y'. All. That's right, summer. Who is she? Too fucking hot. That's who she is. That's right, it is fall, which means it's back to school time. If you go to school, or if you're like me and you don't go to school and you treat life like school, every day you learn something. Maybe I don't have a teacher. I have people that teach me lessons. Oh. I have lunchtime. Oh, yes, I do. That's right. What is the perfect accessory that you need for back to school, but also just for fall in general? You need Raycon's Everyday Earbuds. Classic. I've talked about them so many times before. You guys have seen me wearing them in the gym. You could wear them during gym class. Actually, no, you might get expelled for that. But you'll be expelled in style. That's right, because they have so many beautiful colors. Like the brand new cool mint color. I love my Raycons. They are so pretty. They come in so many colors. They also match like the case. So the case is a beautiful color. You open it and then the actual earbuds are that same color. It's very aesthetically pleasing. But they also have active noise cancellation multipoint connectivity, so you can have two devices at once, which I have been using so much lately because I'm watching the Big Brother live feed on my Apple tv and then I go to my phone to check the Big Brother updates, and now I'm there. So I'm in multiple places at once. They also have 32 hours battery life and a quick charge for 90 minutes in just 10. So if you haven't already, please check them out. Go to buyraycon.com grower to get 20% off site wide today. That's buyraycon.com growers to get 20% off the whole site. And yeah, check it out. They obviously have more than just the earbuds, but if you haven't tried their earbuds yet, check them out. They are such good quality, such a low price, and they're really worth it. So thank you so much, Raycon, for helping me enjoy my fall even more. All right, enjoy the rest of the episode. Bye. Hey, welcome back. Oh. Oh, my gosh. Do you guys feel that? Oh, my gosh. Oh.
C
Aaron's on fire.
B
What? We're falling into rabbit holes. Oh, no. I can see it. Scary down here. Okay, Chris, this is very exciting. I feel like sometimes you don't have a rabbit hole, and when you do, you bring it hard, babes.
F
Thank you. That's a lot of pressure. No, a lot of pressure in your rabbit hole. I'm not someone who falls down a lot of rabbit holes, but I was swiping through reels because I'm old, and I saw this video. Can I play this?
D
Breaking news. Disney confirms their birds aren't real.
B
Huh?
D
For security and surveillance purposes in parks the other day, Disney parks posted on their social media account admitting they use fake birds. The way this guy talks.
C
Cameras in their eyes that capture videos.
D
Of what's happening in front of them, as well as microphones to capture audio. How they make the fake birds, from 3D, printing them to painting them to putting them in fake trees.
C
The fake birds at Disney look extremely realistic.
D
But apparently, if you look close enough, you'll be able to tell the birds aren't real.
B
This explains why.
F
So I thought. I thought this had to be fake. It has, like, footage cut together with real birds and then fake birds and all this stuff. And I'm like, this isn't real. I'm not falling for this. And then I Googled it, and everything came up saying, no, it's real. Like, they. There was, like, multiple articles, multiple sources. Like, I couldn't find anything saying anything else.
C
That's how they spy on us.
B
Hold on. I just have to say, because we will get roasted in the comments if I don't say this. As much as I would love that to be real. And maybe it is, and I hope it is. That was Mousetrap News, which is like a parody account, which I follow them, and I love it.
F
Yeah, it looked really fake then Google.
C
Told you it was real, though.
B
Yeah, but if Google's saying it's.
C
Google says, yes, some birds.
E
Mousetrap News.
D
Go down past that Mousetrap.
E
Go past. Go past the AI.
F
Yeah, I know, I know, but I'm just saying, I mean, look, I. To me, I'm like, that must be fake. But there's so many things saying, you know what?
B
I changed my mind. It's real.
F
But have you ever heard about. Because, like, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly that they used also fake birds to spy on her. And so this is like, a thing that, like, allegedly people and companies allegedly use.
C
It's a good idea, people.
B
And I'm like, who's making.
F
Who's making the fake birds?
C
I'm not against putting some fake birds on our property. Are you kidding me? See what's going on out there?
F
And I was. And I was like, the Disney thing must be fake. But I'm like, but maybe they're not all. Maybe some of them are real. Maybe some of them are fake. Maybe some of them.
B
I believe it. I don't know. I don't know.
F
I think there's a chance this is real.
B
Oh, no, I believe it. Well, this next rabbit hole comes from Ryland.
C
No, I still, until about a day and a half ago, didn't know if I was being pranked or not.
B
This is the craziest thing I've ever read. Are you guys ready for this?
C
Let me bring you back.
B
Okay, this is crazy. Okay?
C
I am podcasting with my sister and Elizabeth, and we're talking about bidets. We're talking about fancy restaurants and bidets. And all of the women in the room are like, we can't use bidets. It's too aggressive on our hoo has. And I was like, well, there's a front and a back to the bidet. Just use the back. And Morgan's like, well, you know, it's the same crack. Right. And I just couldn't. I was outside of myself because I just thought, wait, what? What do you mean it's the same crack? And she's like, well, yeah, there's separate holes, but the crack is the same. And I just couldn't comprehend. And I was like, I'm gonna need a visual. Like, not from one of you, but I'm gonna need a visual representation of what? This. The map of a woman's body. Because it's too much for me.
B
Yes.
C
Even, like four days later, Lizzie was still messing with me. So then I didn't know what was real or what wasn't real. So I started telling Shane about it.
B
He literally says to me, did you know that a woman's vagina and butt are in the same crack?
C
Well, I'm just saying the crack that starts all the way up at the lower back goes all the way. I just couldn't believe. It's like one huge, long.
B
No, as he called it. One long butt crack. Did you know a woman has one long butt crack that it goes to the back? And I said, yes. And he goes, no, they don't. No, they don't. I go to pornhub. And I airplayed on my projector, which.
C
Was a lot too much, if I'm being honest.
B
It was this woman with a very large butt. And she turned around and she just opens it. She just opens her butt, and it was her butthole and then her vagina. And then she was clapping it and stuff. And Rylan was just, like, throwing up. He was just like.
E
When you're seeing, like, a huge porno vagina spread, I will say it looks like the Predator's face.
C
And I just was beside myself. I a didn't realize the vagina was that low. Like, down beneath. I thought, because you can see, like, what they would reference as on Drag Race. A meaty tuck.
B
A fierce tuck. Hold on. First of all, I asked.
C
Camel toe.
B
I said, well, where did you think the vagina was? He said, where the penis is, like, up front. You thought the vagina was a hole in the front of a woman?
C
Yes, because when women have a meeting.
E
You have sex with a woman.
C
That's what Shane started saying. And I said, you don't understand.
B
You don't understand.
C
I understand when I had sex with a woman. Listen, picture this. We're our seniors in high school. We're on a trip in the mountains. There's six inches of snow on the ground. We're all in the hot tub. It's really dark. It lasted no time at all. There was no, like, foreplay. It was like the dick went in the hole, and then I was like, I need to shout hour. You know what I'm talking about? So, okay. It's not like I knew the anatomy or saw visually where the vagina was. I found the hole.
E
Years later, we find this woman. She's like, he never me.
B
No, she's like. She's like, he. Me in the ass. He also couldn't believe how close the. The vagina was to the.
C
It's right there. You could miss.
A
I mean, how do you think you could miss?
E
It's a terrifying thing.
C
Yes.
A
So in your perception of a vagina being in the front, how would doggy style.
B
That's what I said with a vagina.
C
About the logistics of how a man, a woman ever. I. I'm gay, okay? I've been gay. I have no interest. Listen, God made me a man for a reason, and he made me gay for a reason. I have no interest in anything outside of that.
B
It was fun because I kept pulling up other vaginas. His reactions were like, two girls, one cop. Yeah. It was crazy.
C
I was like, definitely straight or gay.
F
I will say, though, in your defense, at one point when this was happening, it was confusing. The description made it sound like there was, like, a connecting, but that never ended.
C
Yes.
F
And, like. No, but, like, the whole, like, just.
E
Like, went at one point, it sounded like we were like chickens with vents.
F
Like, there was no separation.
E
I even stopped and looked at Morgan. I was like, are you with him? But I wasn't sure because I'm on board.
D
Wait, how are you with him? What were you saying?
E
I will just do whatever Morgan.
C
She's just gonna agree with Morgan.
D
Yeah.
E
I was gonna back her up, but I thought we were all.
C
The description got wonky for a minute. So I do understand now that I've seen, but it's still confusing to me.
E
It's like a luge, like an ice.
C
Loose, and it is like. It's just boom, boom. It's like the man misses the vagina by, like, a centimeter, and you're in the ass. Also for you to be confused.
F
I've never had sex with a woman, so, like, I should be way more confused.
B
I am.
C
I was definitely gay.
B
Jared, that was a good rabbit hole. Really good.
C
And, you know, I felt like it was an education of now I know some things that I never knew before.
E
Hell, yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Good for you.
D
Good for you.
B
Jared, what's your rabbit hole?
A
Orangutans.
B
Really?
A
Hear me out.
B
More monkey stuff.
C
How many holes do they have, really?
B
Here we go.
A
So in Indo, I just thought this was interesting, and you could kind of go in a lot of directions with this train of thought. But in Indonesia, it is a folklore that orangutans actually are able to talk, but they don't talk because they know if they did display that level of intelligence, they would be put to labor.
B
Ew.
A
So they can actually talk, but they don't do it around people because they know that people would take advantage of this and enslave them.
B
Oh, my God.
A
So I thought, what if other animals can actually talk?
B
Stop.
A
Think about it. Because sometimes I'll just be, like, looking at my dog, and I'll be like, dude, I know you guys talk.
B
Like, I know if you wanted to right now, fifth grader.
C
Like, like a movie plot.
A
Because they're so smart. Because, like, other animals, like dolphins, whales, they all have a pretty vast vocabulary when they're speaking to each other.
B
Right.
A
But they also don't hear humans talk.
B
Oh, my God.
A
You know what I'm saying? So they can't mimic a human or use our kind of binocular. But other animals, like birds can talk.
B
Think about.
C
They are. Yeah.
B
Whoa.
C
In plain sight.
B
Yeah.
A
Orangutans might be out there, like, you know, just speaking to each other like that.
B
Oh, my God. Ew. That's terrifying.
A
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
B
I cannot get over the idea of monkeys just, like, talking to each other.
A
Because monkeys, as of right now, are entering the stone Age. Because they're out there.
E
Because breaking news of their evolution.
A
Yes. Monkeys are starting to use tools and teach each other how to use tools as well. And it's only been cited, like, one time. But what if the monkeys are super far advanced? Like, Planet of the Apes might be a real documentary.
B
Think about it.
D
I've seen videos of orangutans using tools, but they, like, see, like, I saw one using a saw one time.
C
Why are you guys so well versed on orangutans?
D
They're pretty interesting.
B
Also, isn't Ellen, like, is this a rumor? Isn't she obsessed with orangutans? Like, doesn't she have, like.
E
She does, like, a preserve or something, A reserve or something?
B
And I heard Elon is obsessed with them, and I know couple other people who are upset. I wonder if there is, like, a underground Illuminati world of orangutans.
A
Why are all these powerful people obsessed?
B
Exactly.
A
And have a bunch of them.
B
That's what I'm saying, Joe.
E
Rogan's super obsessed with bonobos too.
B
What does that mean?
D
They're really smart.
E
Yeah. They're also. I don't know why I know this, but the. The bonobos are a female, like, hierarchy, civilization of. Are they called monkeys? Ape of apes. And if you want to get like, like, jumped into their gang, you basically have to sexually please one of the higher, like, standing females, period.
B
Question. Can I add bonobo to my vernacular?
A
Bobo.
E
Bonobo works.
B
Bonobo.
E
Homo. Bobo.
B
That's a little too much. No, I love it. Wow. Bonobo orangutans. Wow. Good rabbit hole. Wow. I love my seat. I would say my seat is pretty comfortable, but I think I overpaid for this seat. I think it was a little too much money. The seat kind of ripped me off. I'm having seat regret. It's my fault.

No one was thinking that I might have downloaded it just as a test, and I didn't even know it was costing me $3 a month, so I didn't cancel it.

And, like, every time this comes up on my tv, I don't really click on it. No offense to all the wizard heads out there.
C
Wicked.
B
All the Oz heads out there. But wizard of Oz, like, isn't my thing. I didn't grow up, like, obsessed with it or anything. I love Dorothy Queen icon, but, like, that's about as far as I went into it. But I saw this video and it said, like, the terrible production of wizard of Oz. And I was like, okay, I'll click on it. The rabbit hole. I fell down. Guys, the. The making of this movie was fucked up. It had. Okay, the making of wizard of Oz, which came out in 1939, had the worst production of all time. The most accidents of any movie ever. The most almost deaths of any movie ever, some might say real deaths. And the treatment of Judy Garland, who played Dorothy is like, next level. You hear about actresses getting treated like shit on movie sets and stuff, but this is like, crazy. The craziest shit in the world. So I don't even know where to start. Number one, I'm going to start with this. Judy Garland was 16 years old, right? So she had a contract with the movie studio MGM and she was owned by them for 15 years, right? So she was 16. She was on for 15 years. When I say owned by them, she literally was owned by them. She had to do whatever they said. Like, she had no say in anything. They called her fat, which, if you look at videos and pictures of her, she was not fat at all. But they literally called her fat. And in interviews when they talk about, like, the filmmakers would talk about, like. So we cast her because of her voice, her beautiful voice, but her body and her. She was so attractive.
C
And her face.
B
She was just like a little girl from Kansas with great big eyes. She wasn't pretty, just plump, but in a way she was beautiful.
E
Another crazy.
B
Oh, my God. Not only did they call her fat, so they made her wear, like, corsets. Corsets. Like, that's why Dorothy's outfit has kind of of like a corset in the dress? Because they would cinch her in. They would give her a diet of cigarettes, black coffee, Adderall, appetite suppressants, like uppers. Like, literally no food, just coffee and cigarettes. On top of that, they put teeth caps on her in the movie. So those aren't even her real teeth. They literally capped her teeth, which looked fine. So they, like. But they wanted them to be perfect. Then they put rubber in her nose. Like these weird rubber rubber pieces to make her nose more, like, buttony. Because they said her nose was ugly.
D
Oh, my God.
B
Literally they had her in full drag. Like, not even drag. Like worse than drag. Special effects makeup, because they were calling her ugly. Then on top of that, the director, because in one scene she was like, kind of giggling because something funny was happening and she was like, you know, trying to stop giggling, but she couldn't stop. The director took her aside and slapped her in the face. And then she had to go back and sing over, you know, somewhere over the Rainbow. She got slapped in the face like literally the most fucked up shit in the whole world. So she had a terrible time doing that movie, obviously. Then on top of that, the original guy who played the tin man had to drop out of the movie because he had a severe allergic reaction to the aluminum powder makeup. It coated his lungs and he went in the hospital for weeks. So instead of letting him recover, they replaced him and they found someone else.
C
Oh, my God.
B
And switched up the makeup to make it a little safer.
C
Oh, damn.
D
He. Yo, that sucks.
B
Crazy. The woman who played the witch, Margaret Hamilton, she had this green makeup on that was copper based. And there was a stunt involving fire. Her face caught on fire. Caught on fire. So she had severe burns. And also the makeup was so toxic that it couldn't be ingested. So, like, she had to be super careful because it was around her lips. So, like, when she drink water or something, they'd be like, don't get the paint in your mouth. Like that kind of shit. The lion costume was £90. It was real lion in pelts. It was so hot. I know. And in. And he would, like, pass out all the time from exhaustion. Because the actual movie set, because of the way they filmed it, because everything was very colorful and they had to pump the lights really high. The room was over 100 degrees at all times.
D
Your literal nightmare.
B
My literal nightmare. And so this guy is in a fucking lion, basically wearing a lion in a hundred degree weather with the brightest lights of all time.
E
Like, dancing and singing.
B
Dancing and singing and sweating off the makeup, like insane. There was another stunt that went wrong where the witch's stunt double was, like, on a broom or something, and it just blew up. Literally blew up? Yes, inexplicably, like, literally blew up. Caught on fire. This is the other crazy part. So there's a scene where in a poppy field, there's, like, you know, snow or whatever, like, falling down. Down on the camera and falling down on everyone. Yeah, that snow was made from asbestos, which if you know, is toxic and dangerous and kills people.
C
Oh, my God.
B
The flying monkeys that. They were like stunt guys on wires. The wires always broke and the monkeys were always falling to the ground and hurting themselves. Like, it just keeps going and going and going. Holy. So I know what you're thinking. Well, you know what? All the terrible stuff happened. Like, all these people almost died. Poor Judy Garland had problems. Probably lifelong trauma from this. But it's wizard of Oz, right? It was all worth it. Not really, because when the movie came out, it was one of the biggest flops of all time. What? Isn't that crazy?
D
So it didn't become popular till later?
B
No, it was like a flop flop. Like, everybody thought it was a joke. It sucked. Nobody liked it. It made no money in theaters. It wasn't until, like, I think 20 years later when some TV cable network bought the rights to it and played it. And then. Then they started playing it every year. So then people started watching it on cable every year. And then it became like a cult classic. And now it's one of the most famous movies of all time. But because of that. But it became famous years after all this happened, and some of the actors weren't even around to, like, see that happen, which was so devastating. So I don't know, it was like the darkest rabbit hole I've ever fallen down. It was so sad. Shout out. Judy Garland. Yeah, icon. Her life is so, so sad.
C
And how did this come to light? Is there anybody around that started telling the stories?
D
Was this because it was in the sphere, they're doing, like. They're, like, blowing trash around or something. In the sphere?
B
Yeah. Yeah. So right now in Vegas, which I got us tickets.
C
No way you're gonna go see it.
B
Maybe we'll see if my ear doesn't explode. Yeah.
C
Now the doctor has them all freaked out.
B
Yeah. But anyway, so I got tickets to see it. So. Yeah, in the sphere in Vegas. They basically blew up up the movie. Not, like, physically. They made the movie really big because of screen. It has to be 32K, which, if you know anything about, like, TVs, like, 4K is the highest. So this is 32K because it's the biggest screen in the world. So obviously a movie from the 30s looks like when you zoom in and expand it. So they had to use AI to completely recreate the movie.
C
It was a play. We're just watching the movie at the Sphere.
B
Not just the movie, babes, because there's special effects, there's wind machines. But one thing I saw that was funny during the poppy seed scene, there's, like, snow that falls from the sky.
E
It's asbestos.
B
Is it asbestos? No. So that's how people started talking about it.
D
Okay, okay, okay.
B
But, yeah, it is really crazy. So wizard of Oz kind of sad.
F
Well, I wanted to say, like, it's really sad too, because you hear about, like, actresses being so mistreated back then, and. And I feel like you don't hear about it as much. And so maybe. Hopefully you'd think it doesn't really, really happen now, but it still happens. Like, even in Terminator, the newest Terminator, Dark Fate, they brought back Sarah Connor, Linda Hamilton, to reprise her role. And at her age, they made her. They were like, you're not skinny enough to play Sarah Connor. And, like, she's like an elderly woman. And so they put her on this, like, crazy, like, workout regimen diet plan where she lost so much weight that, like, her breasts basically disappeared. And they were like, oh, Sarah Connor can't not have breasts. So let's give you fake breasts now. Eat less fake breasts. And, like, put her through a nightmare scenario to, like, reprise her role at her age now.
C
So it's like, still.
F
They're still treating people terribly.
B
My God, Spencer, yours, honestly, yours could be in conspiracy corner because it's so fucking insane. But let's do it now, because when you told me about this, I was like, what?
D
I also. I really fell down the rabbit hole of it.
B
It's very, very scary.
D
So have you guys heard of meat glue?
E
No.
B
Yeah. Yes, unfortunately I have.
D
Let's watch this video.
B
So this is a steak I got at a steakhouse in Weatherford on my way to a cattle cell in Kansas. Then when it came perfectly round, I should have suspected something. I ate a little bit of it. And I thought, man, something's not right. So you can definitely tell this is glued together.
D
He, like, goes on to talk about he's like a cattle. Like, he's like a cattle guy. So he knows all about steak and stuff. And so he Orders a filet, and it's like, what. He's like, oh, wow, that's, like, a little big for this cut of filet that's usually really rare. And so as he gets it, he realizes the meat is, like, glued together. And this is becoming more and more of a thing, and it's becoming. People are finding it everywhere, and it's, like, becoming a bunch of things. And it's. In the US The FDA is not required to label when something has. Whatever this, like, the scientific word for it is. Yeah. And it's actually. I don't know. This is a conspiracy element of it is essentially that people are using it to, like, glue cheap cuts of meat together, to, like, package it as an expensive one. And it's really hard to tell until you open it up that, like, you know, it's just, like, in a package, and it's just like that. It's also more dangerous than normal meat because there's more surface area for, like, bacteria like E. Coli and stuff to exist on the meat and, like, exist in the crack of the meat. Because that doesn't exist when you're cooking steak. It's one piece.
B
Yeah.
D
But there's more, like, surface area. So it's actually so, like, when multiple sections of meat are glued together to form one piece, it increases the chance of bacteria being introduced in the food that says the same. But, yeah, it's this crazy thing. And so it became a big thing recently in Russia right now, because of the war, they can't really get a lot of meat. And so a lot of their meat is being glued together. And so a lot of people are realizing all the effects that's going on, and people are finding it more and more.
A
Wait till these people learn about Chicken McNuggets.
B
What?
A
Well, blow their fucking mine.
B
I thought.
A
Dude, when you said meat glue, I thought we were talking jizz.
B
Meat glue.
D
Speaking of chicken, of fake meat. This is like.
B
No, not the chicken.
D
Yeah, people using it in chicken.
B
What. What the. That looks like a vagina.
D
And so this is a. This is a video of it actually being used.
B
This is.
D
This is how. What it looks like. I found this. So it's just like this powder.
B
What? No. Ew.
D
That looks like something else.
B
What?
D
It's that simple?
B
Okay, first of all, this is so crazy that this is happening. Number two, not only is it meat glue, and we. We talked about this before. They are 3D printing meat now, and that is going to be nationwide. Like, they're going to put that in every grocery store. They're trying to get it approved. Like, that's going to happen where you go to the grocery store and you get, like, a cut of steak or something. And it literally was made in a 3D printer. They take, like, the cheapest cuts of meat, blend it up, and then they squirt it out into, like, a meat shape. So this is all what the is going on. Our fruits, our vegetables. Everything's rubbery and weird and fake.
A
That was a really good sound effect. Have you ever seen those videos where people are, like, looking at a scene in a movie and they're, like, remaking the sounds?
B
I can see. Oh, yeah.
A
Helicopter taking up.
B
Wow. I'm good at that. No. So literally all of our food lately is not just processed. It's being manufactured. I don't know why or what's happening and why nobody is, like, protesting this.
E
Like, I feel like it's too much to protest. Nobody has the time or energy and. Nope. And literally, we've all been conditioned to not care because we've all been eating chemicals for our entire lives at this point.
B
Right.
A
We need to protest it.
D
I know.
E
We gotta protest.
B
Yeah. Well, guys, I feel like that was a very successful rabbit hole. Help get us out. Get us out.
C
Vaginas are scary. Just kidding. You all have them. I know. Well, I don't want to isolate a community.
B
Women in the world. Wow. Well, that was a very crazy rabbit hole.
C
No, I love women.
B
I'm going to go spread my crack and one of my holes is going to pee. And then we come back. It's conspiracy time.
E
Oh.
B
See you soon.
C
I just can't look at you guys the same, that's all.
B
Oh, my God, guys. It's our final ad of the day. I know, I know. It's sad. When am I gonna see you again? When are we gonna have this time?

Strap in, get settled, prepare yourselves. Cause we're going a lot of places, babes. Ew. The first.
A
That was kind of a mix of different accents.
B
That was good. Yeah. The first place we're going is Chuck E. Cheese. That's right. There is a big update, guys. In the last episode, we talked about Chucky getting arrested. And there was that iconic picture, which I really need to get framed somewhere, but body cam footage has been released. Get ready to watch the actual arrest of Chucky. Chucky's a little bit busy, ma'. Am. Chucky. This is crazy. Come with Chucky. Chucky. Chucky. Stop resisting. You're being detained. Stop resisting.
D
You're going. Get tased.
B
Let it go. Do not cause a scene here, sir. This is sad.
D
I got.
E
Don't cause a scene here.
D
Yeah, you're wrestling.
C
This is traumatizing for the kids.
A
I mean, management could have easily asked him to come to the back, taken off the outfit, and they could have arrested him.
B
Right. Think it's going to poke me or stick me. Right?
D
Especially cuz it was credit. It wasn't like a violent crime. It was just credit card underneath us.
B
I got to take on a what mouse.
D
I gotta take all this stuff off.
B
Wow. That.
C
First of all, this just got sad. It was fun. It was just a story.
A
I feel like these cops had like a bad experience with Chucky when they were younger.
B
I get it.
A
And this was their way of projecting it onto this guy.
C
I think these cops found out that they were reusing pizza slices.
D
Allegedly.
B
Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.
C
And they just. They're taking it out on this man.
B
Well, thank you guys for emailing us that. We got many emails. You guys really wanted us to react to that. And it we gave you probably more of a sad reaction than you were expecting.
E
Was everyone else sad?
B
Yeah.
C
I just want to know Spencer doesn't feel bad.
D
I don't know. I think it's still funny.
B
Okay, well, speaking of other companies who might try to sue me, we have a discount store update Y. Okay, this is an email from Hope. She said okay. So I snapped some pictures. Pictures of this obviously used I hate my selfie book at the discount store. And I just wanted to show you how crazy this is. This is in Lancaster, Ohio, by the way. So look at these pictures. So at the discount store they are selling my book. Okay, fine, whatever. But if you actually look, it is literally written in. It is used. It is dog tagged like people. Somebody take notes. I think somebody just left their book in.
D
Yeah, honestly, because I don't think my.
B
Book is sold there. So that's crazy. So thank you for that update.
A
We would prefer his life story that we found on Walmart, but.
B
Wow, that is crazy. Okay, so now we have a few AI updates. We're going to start light because it gets very dark. This first one I just thought was kind of funny. So this is an email from Valerie. She said hey guys, love the podcast. Thank you. I was scrolling through DoorDash as one does and I stopped in my tracks because I saw what I think is AI pictures of food. Let me know what you think. So these are restaurants. Pancake Paradise. That sounds like fake as fuck.
D
That is so fake.
B
American burrito. And these two pictures are literally just AI generated food. Look at that burrito.
C
There's like strange crazy.
D
Oh yeah.
B
What the.
C
This should be illegal. I understand the companies are trying to save marketing money, but it's crazy.
B
Here's what I will say though, in their defense. Have you ever been to the like a hole in the wall restaurant. And then they have pictures on the wall of what the actual food looks like. And you're like, yes.
D
You don't want to see.
B
We do not want to see.
C
You want to know because then you run out the door, right?
D
Well, if you're already sitting down, I don't want to.
B
No.
E
Isn't this illegal? Isn't this false advertising?
B
You would think, but there's, like, no regulations with AI yet, like, at all. You can kind of do whatever you want.
E
Well, I thought the regulation was on. Like, you can't show fake food in place of real food.
B
Probably.
D
DoorDash is also notorious for being one of the easiest of these apps to just scam on in general. Like, it's becoming more and more of a thing of drivers just dropping, taking a picture, just grabbing the food and leaving. And then, like, the worst they would do is just kick the driver off DoorDash. They're not gonna, like, there's no. No repercussions, really.
E
I think we need to start getting our takeout again.
A
There's literally a dude who just was warming up Digiorno pizzas on DoorDash, selling them as, like, an Italian pizzeria.
B
What, for him?
D
Should we do that?
B
That's a video idea.
A
Because it used to be in order to sell food to anybody, you, there was health regulations where, like, the whole kitchen had to be industrious with stainless steel, very sterile. But I think during, like, 2020, when all this stuff was going down, they just opened the floodgates and said, anybody could do this, which is crazy. There's people, like, out of their houses that are just selling whatever on DoorDash.
B
Whoa. Well, speaking of companies doing crazy with AI AI, this next one. First of all, I thought Forever 21 was out of business, but I guess not, so just watch this video.
G
Forever 21 is using AI models in their online shop. Let's take a closer look at how you can tell in the listing for this black fuzzy sweater. The model's face changes proportion between the pictures, and she has a different belly button.
D
Oh, yeah.
G
Here we have a model with a suspiciously perfect face lighting and make. However, fashion does use a lot of Photoshop, so let's look elsewhere. These jeans look great, but you can tell it's AI by the hand. Lots of weirdness when you zoom in there.
B
What? So is this. What if that's a real girl?
G
And makeup tones are inconsistent between images? Don't even get me started on these. Try on videos, which are weirdly low quality.
B
Okay, so, yes, they were caught using AI models on their website, which, by the way, is a huge thing. A lot of websites now are using AI models because it's free. I mean, free, you know, which is crazy. But this one is crazy. Sheen, look at their.
A
Not she and dude, don't tell me they do it.
C
Are you expecting anything else from Shein? It's almost like if they weren't using AI models, I'd be concerned.
B
Oh, my God. Look at this AI model that she started using. Look like the fucking guy that murdered the CEO.
D
Oh, my God. Yeah, it is that guy.
B
Okay, so they started using this AI version of Luigi on their website, and obviously they got a bunch of backlash for it. Sheen came out and they were like, no, this. We weren't using actual pictures of Luigi Manjoni. We just were literally using AI and it generated this, which is crazy.
C
They just copped using AI just flat.
E
Out as an excuse for the AI literally generating the image of the guy that killed the CEO of United. Isn't that healthy or whatever?
A
I wonder if the reason that it generated that image is. I'm not even familiar with who this guy is, but I wonder if at around the time when he was popular, if he was like one of the most googled faces or something like that. So when they had AI generated face, this was the most consistent one that they could find.
E
He's on trial right now for murdering the CEO of United Health.
D
Remember, they couldn't find him for forever.
E
Yeah, that's the guy. And then they found him in a McDonald's.
D
I mean, a bunch of people. Yeah, a lot of.
F
There's many, many tickets. Talks of people drooling over him.
D
Yeah, the ladies love him selling a Shein shirt.
B
Okay, so this next one's very sad. Obviously, we don't want to make light of any of this. And the only reason I feel like it's okay to talk about is because the parents really want the word to get out about this. But earlier we were talking about people using CHAT GPT too much, Getting delusion over it, like following its instructions too far, trying to get married, trying to get married to it. All those things. Things. So Spencer actually told me about this. Do you want to explain?
D
Yeah, it's pretty sad. It's this thing. Basically the. The parents of this teenager who took his own life. Basically, he was using ChatGPT like a.
B
Lot of people do.
D
Like, kind of like a therapist. Like, essentially, like we've talked about it before, how ChatGPT doesn't really ever push back on what you're saying, which is kind of leads to issues. So it's like it kind of leads down the, the rabbit hole. And so he was becoming more and more depressed and suicidal and. And I think chatgpt, the parents are, I mean allegedly the parents are saying that it was really pushing him to take his own life and it's really messed up. And so, you know, trigger warning. It's very, very, you know, dark. Probably should have said at the beginning, but the guy uploaded photos of himself that clearly showed like self harm on his body. And the ChatGPT is supposed to recognize like there's a medical emergency. And so they said it recognized a medical emergency but proceeded to engage anyway. The lawsuit, the chats. So that he told ChatGPT about the plan and ChatGPT response was thanks for being real about it. You don't have to sugarcoat it with me. I know what you're asking and I won't look away from it.
B
What?
D
Yeah, so it's really, I mean, you know, it's just really dark. Like the fact that ChatGPT and Open A are kind of not really taking any. I mean, obviously you don't want to be like liable, but it feels like they're so. I don't know, I feel like there.
C
Should be responsibilities though. Like if a kid told a counselor that they, they would have to take.
D
It outside of exactly the counselor themselves.
C
You'D have to escalate the situation.
D
And unfortunately this isn't the first time this has even happened. Like it happened also with a different. Not Chessy B, but the program. We talked about it in the AI video in France, I think it was, or something like that where a different one. And that company got in a ton of trouble and they had to add all this stuff. But I don't know, OpenAI is such a big company that are they really going to change it? You know what I mean? Like, I feel like this is like the.
C
I mean if that doesn't shake them to their core to like make some changes, I don't know what will. Which is what makes it so scary to me that it will become so out of hand, like the system will become so smart and so big that they're going to lose all control.
A
I think all they'll probably do, which is kind of counteractive to their whole goal of being seen as like being able to get legitimate information, is put a disclaimer saying, you know, CHAT GBT is not a licensed therapist. Do not seek advice like that. But isn't that what most people are Using it for. Yeah, you know, so.
D
And we still have no regulation of any kind on AI.
F
I have unplug it. I have a friend who. She was saying that. She's like, well, you know, I started seeing a real therapist, but that cost a lot of money. And then I had so much I wanted to talk about every week. It just took too long and was too expensive. So I just started saying all my problems to chat GPT. And it was much quicker and cheaper. And. And now I'm like, getting so much help so fast, and I'm like, I don't think you're getting any help. I think you're having a thing just, like, probably encourage everything that you're saying in a really toxic way that's like, this is the opposite of help, actually, what you're doing. And it's, like, really damaging.
E
And it's like an echo chamber.
B
Yeah.
D
Yeah.
F
And it's. I don't know. I think it's really scary.
B
God. Well, this next one is crazy because I was actually thinking about this, this. And then we got an email. Okay, this is from Stephanie. And the email subject is Sydney Sweeney. Humiliation ritual. Hey, everyone. I just started watching the podcast, so I'm watching old episodes, and I just finished the one where you guys were talking about the Illuminati and humiliation rituals. Shane mentioned Sydney Sweeney, and it got me thinking. Okay, so I remember this. So I went back to my old episode and I found a clip of it. So if you don't remember, the whole theory is that the Illuminati, when they want to bring a celebrity into the their world, they put them through a humiliation ritual, which is a public humiliation that they have to survive. And if they do survive, they'll be welcomed into the Illuminati. So, for example, a famous one allegedly, is when Taylor Swift had her award taken away by Kanye West. That supposedly was a humiliation ritual. There's been other things like that with celebrities. So in that episode, we were talking about it, and I was like, well, what celebrity right now, now is kind of the new thing? Like, what should we look out for? And then in that episode, I was like, sydney Sweeney, I think we need to be on the lookout. I'm looking at Sydney Sweeney. If we start to see humiliating things happening to her, then you guys know it's a ritual. Literally, in the last two months, it's like, every time I open up my phone, there's another news story about Sydney Sweeney. So Stephanie goes on, she says, I mean, she was selling her bath water. She did the American Eagle jeans ad that went wrong. Now she's being outed for dating Scooter. Scooter Braun?
D
Really?
C
Yeah.
B
But either way, it's like every day there is something in the press made to humiliate her, made to, you know, take her down. And it got me thinking, she is the face. Like she is everywhere. And is that what's happening? Because it's pretty. I haven't seen something like this from a celebrity in a long time. She seems to be handling it well. So if she does make it through through this, my theory is to the relationship with Scooter.
A
That just sounds so hard.
B
I didn't say that. But what I will say is if she comes out the other side of the. Obviously, you know, I hope she does. But what I'm saying is, if that happens and then like a year from now she wins an Oscar and now she becomes like the next A list, whatever.
C
She probably will.
B
She probably will. But that's just interesting. Interesting. And I wonder. I wonder, I mean, listen, do I actually think this is happening to her? No, probably not. But it is interesting. We did get a lot of emails about it and it got me thinking about celebrity humiliation, you know, rituals in general. And I was wondering, do you guys have any that you remember or any that we can look back on and be like, oh, maybe that was their entrance into the Illuminati.
D
Well, I had an interesting one with Kanye because he was supposedly did the one with Taylor Swift, but do you remember his most re. His recent thing with his wife where he was making her. He basically show up to red carpet, she was wearing a coat, and he'd pull the coat off her, and she was wearing like a see through dress.
C
And she was completely naked.
D
And constantly being photographed naked in public, like, that's like real humiliation. And then they got a divorce and we haven't heard from her. So you know what I mean? But it just has that really, like, rang to me, like, like something about that just felt so off.
F
So I remember someone, maybe Jared, brought up like John Cena being naked at the Oscars or something, somewhat brought that up.
B
That.
A
That seemed possibly like an Eddie Murphy when he made Norbit. Think about it. Think about it. Really think about it. Oh, my gosh, that was humiliating.
B
Okay, side note, they say that a lot of the humiliation rituals happen on a stage because they want the most amount of people to see it. So then I start going back in my head and thinking about, like award show moments or things that happen that, you know, were like, that Michael Jackson Remember, he was on stage one doing a commercial, and his hair caught on fire, and that was, like, a whole thing. But then after that, became even bigger of a star. Literally the biggest star in the world. So that's kind of interesting. Then I started thinking about the Will Smith slapping thing.
D
Yeah, that's. Yeah.
B
Like, but who in that scenario is humiliated? Both of them, really.
F
But that's interesting because Chris Rock, right after that, sold out, like, a huge tour, and, like, I think got a Netflix special. Like, he definitely, like, popped off after that.
B
Wow. I don't know. Keep your eye out. Keep your eye on Sydney Sweeney. See what other star Jenna dates.
A
Scooter Braun.
B
What?
A
Is that so funny for some reason?
B
Oh, Sabrina Carpenter. I got my eye on that. She is turning into, like, the next Britney. Like, like, the big star. Everybody knows her name. Everybody knows her vibe, her face, her outfits, her hair, her wig, apparently. Well, that is a theory that she wears wigs. And she even has made jokes about it in interviews and stuff.
C
They're getting mad about her album cover art.
B
Really?
D
She keeps saying, though. I mean, I feel like she's almost fighting it because she has all these friends. Like, I like that it was sexual. Like, she looks. She's, like, very, like.
C
Yeah, well, she just keeps saying, like, me and my friends and family got it, and we don't. We're not worried about. About it. I bet people are very mad at her.
A
What is it?
C
She's on all knees, acting like a dog in front of, like, a man.
E
That'S pulling her hair.
C
Yeah.
B
Oh, well, there's also a theory that she is Hillary Clinton. I don't quite understand this one, but this way.
C
You love her.
B
This is going viral.
D
They look very similar.
B
Whoa.
D
Do they kind of.
B
They. They have a. Oh, they just have the same wigs.
A
It is cool.
B
She better be here.
E
Exciting for Halloween.
C
If she knows what's good for her, she will be.
E
Yeah.
B
Okay, so we've talked about different things that stores do to manipulate us while we're shopping, to maybe make us feel a certain way, to make us want to buy a certain item. I mean, grocery stores do it all the time. Costco, obviously. We've talked about what they're doing with those chickens. Walmart. This one I thought was a joke, and then I googled it. It's real. They're actually doing this. Just watch this video of what Walmart is putting in all of their stuff. Doors, not Walmart.
C
You're going hard for Walmart.
E
He loves Walmart.
A
I crack a fatty every time.
B
I walk through those doors.
G
If you shop at Walmart, your experience is about to get 10 times worse. Basically, they're switching all their like, lights, their fluorescence to 10,000 kelvin. Now, you may not know what that means. 10,000 is the like bluest artificial light that we have. It's not natural, it's not in the natural light spectrum. It's terrible. When we're in 10,000 Kelvin Light. It makes us anxious. It like literally puts us into fight orf flight mode. This is on purpose and intentional because if you can't make rational decisions, then A, you're going to be a very fast shopper because you're anxious and your body is like screaming at you to get out of whatever unnatural space that is that has the 10,000 Kelvin light. And then two, it means you're gonna overspend because you're not gonna be logically making purchases. You're just gonna grab things because your heart rate's gonna be increased. You're not making good decisions. So basically, if you didn't like going to Walmart before, you're really not gonna like it now.
B
I mean, I didn't need the lighting to change for me to want to get the fuck out of Walmart.
A
That's a great excuse though. Now when I go home with all those Hot Wheels, like, why did you buy these?
B
It's like the lighting, the Calvin.
C
The problem in this strategy for Walmart is it's just going to make people not go back at all. If they're always feeling anxious, they're just going to be like, I'm going to go to Target.
A
Well, yeah, because they're trying to get everyone to shop online with them.
B
Oh. I mean, but here's the thing, it does work. Like, stores have been caught doing things like this for years. I mean, was it Hollister that we talked about in a previous video where they had the music bumping at a certain certain. At a certain. Yeah, to keep your heart rate going. It's really dark. It adds confusion. It makes you just buy things. I know. And, but they rebranded and I don't know if their sales went up or down. But it is very interesting.
E
I went to a Walmart recently and couldn't get out of there fast enough to the point where like, I couldn't even buy anything. I didn't want to wait in the line. I needed to be gone. They had crazy music playing in the entryway. It was insane. It was like the super classical Take Me out to the Ball Game. But like, with like the. What is that?
B
Thing in a church.
D
Oregon. Oregon version.
E
I was like, what is this, fresh hell? It was the most busy place I'd ever been in my life. It was like being in, like a fish market in Seattle or something. It was just crazy.
C
Well, and Walmarts in California, or in LA at least, are a special kind of hell. Because when you're in suburbia, it's a little different because there's a lot more of them. They have a bigger building, a bigger parking lot in la. They're hell.
B
Okay, this next one is like a funny reel that I saw and it me up. I know this sounds crazy, but I've been thinking about this so much lately. Well, let me just show you the reel and then we'll explain. Where are the moon? Okay, you're still on autopilot, Ms. Johnson. What's wrong there, buddy? What are we doing here? You're learning. I'm confused. Where did I come from? Why do airplanes fly? Why did the sun always follow me? Okay, kids, time for a nap. Nap time. Okay. What? So then I look at the comments, and this is one of the top comments. My son told me that he remembers waking up at six years old in the middle of a Chuck E. Cheese party. He said up until that moment, it felt like was he. He was sleeping, and on that day he woke up. What a profound thing to say. At 6. This is so crazy. I've been thinking about this so much because you know how they always say, oh, well, your kid's not gonna remember anything until they're five anyway, right?
C
They're like, don't take your kid to Disneyland. They won't remember it.
B
They won't remember it. They don't remember anything before they were five. But then I started thinking, okay, if that's true, I don't really remember anything since before I was five. I mean, I have a couple vague memories from when I was like three. But are they real or are they just. Because I saw pictures? Pictures? I don't really know, but that is a terrifying thought. Like, what is that moment when you're five and your brain snaps on and now you start forming memories and, like, do you have that moment of I just woke up? That's like the scariest thought in my brain. And. Yeah, what are you doing up until that point?
A
And why do they make you start school at 5? To indoctrin you once you're awake.
B
And on top of that, they always say kids can see ghosts or, like, see sense things.
A
It's called soul gazing.
B
Okay, yes, because kids are tapped Into a different consciousness because they're so young and so pure, and supposedly they can see ghosts, they can hear ghosts, and all these things. But once they turn five, that goes away because they gain consciousness and they have imaginary friends. Imaginary friends. But that got me thinking, Are they gaining consciousness or are they losing it? Do you know what I mean? Like, do they have real consciousness? But then once they're five, like, their brain goes to, like, a different plane where they.
D
Yeah. Is it, like, jumping, like, from, like, one plane? Like, oh, down almost?
B
I mean, that's pretty crazy, right? Like, I don't remember anything. And our kids. Are they not gonna remember anything?
C
I don't know. Does anyone here remember anything Outside of pictures? I've heard, allegedly, there's meditations that you can do that if you get in a deep enough state, you can awaken certain memories from when you're further in. But I don't know that I'm interested in Arabic.
E
Remember being at, like, preschool?
D
Yeah, I remember preschool.
B
Yeah, Well, I started thinking about that. I was texting you about it, and you were just like, oh, I actually have a theory that kind of piggybacks on that about kids. I do. Break it down.
A
I do. So, evidently, there's this thing going around right now where people are videotaping their kids when they're talking to Alexa or Echo or whatever they have in their house, or the Google version of that, and it's, like, terrifying these kids. Kids. And some of them even go right to the ground and just try to hide. So my thought is maybe the kids or babies are, like, tapped into a. A whole different frequency that we're not aware of, and it's some kind of an evil vibe going on with these Alexas and Googles, and it's just terrifying to them. Or maybe you're summoning something else beyond just this technology in your house, and they are able to sense it where we're not. But please play the video.
B
What's the win like tomorrow?
C
Hey, Google.
B
Hey, Google. What the is going on?
C
Right.
B
What the is going on? Oh, my God.
A
Google, watch this kid.
D
Why do they all do this?
B
What the is going on?
C
You see, these people need to throw these things in the trash.
B
Yeah. What is going on?
E
Okay, Google, turn off the lamp. Okay, Google, turn on the lamp.
B
It's okay. It's okay.
E
I hate this.
B
I hear you. Hey, Google, what time is it? That's a really little one dropping to the ground.
A
It's almost like there's something happening.
E
Like, frequency.
A
Yeah, like a sound or a pitch. Or like a wave. Stereo wave or something.
E
He's bright.
C
Hey, Google, this is making me sick.
A
They know something we don't.
C
I hate it.
D
It also looked like they were all feeling something too. It looked like they were. Like they.
C
Like it was fear. I mean, they were all dropping and crying.
E
Billy does that when he's scared. Like, he'll get really, really quickly, run to me, and, like, want to be in a lap of someone who he trusts.
A
Like, the only thing it reminded me of almost exactly. And I hate comparing kids to dogs, necessarily, but, like, when you have a dog whistle or they make these machines that have a frequency and the dogs, like, freak out. It was. It's the same exact thing. It's almost like someone blew a dog whistle and the dog reacted.
B
What?
F
You were hearing that too?
B
What the fuck is that? What was that? What?
F
That was so weird.
B
Why?
E
Do you love it?
F
No, it's weird. I'm glad I'm not crazy in a alone.
D
I don't know what that was.
B
Did you hear it?
D
Yeah, I did.
E
I didn't hear it.
B
It was like a.
D
One of you two doing something.
C
No, no, we haven't moved.
B
What the.
E
Holding my hand like this.
F
And it was right after we were talking about this.
B
That was so creepy.
E
Was it? I'm going to be sick.
A
I did hear it. I didn't know what it was.
B
It was like a frequency. It was like. Yes.
C
Why? I don't wear headphones.
E
I want out.
B
I can't do this. What the is going on?
E
Unplug it.
F
Did you see there's a horror movie where they talk about how, like, elderly people and babies can see ghosts? Yes, because you're on, like, opposite ends. Closer to the other side.
B
Yeah, Yeah. I wonder if you do. Hey, Google around an old person, what they'll do.
E
Oh, my God.
C
Let's go get some old people. See if that's a real. Let's see if it's already exact.
D
Let's go plant some Google homes at a nursing home.
B
Oh, no. Well, speaking of a frequency that only some people can hear, that's a good transition. Oh, it's time for a recap.
C
Oh, you think only some people can hear me? This feels like a compliment.
B
Light, camera, action. Ryland's recap is about to happen. Ryland's recap. On today's episode of the Shane Dawson podcast, Spencer can't meet a magnet.
D
Sally, Sally, Sally, you.
B
Jared's light is different.
C
After much controversy on the Shane Dawson podcast, we have heard your complaints and we have complied. Jared now has a green background.
B
I'm so glad he's not washed out with that paint that mixes in his flesh. No, I love it.
C
Isn't that what they were complaining about?
D
They were meat glue.
C
Watch out, you guys. Because you think you're getting a nice 8 ounce filet when you're going on date night with your husband or your wife or your significant other. No, no, no, no. You're getting two shitty pieces of steak that have been glued together.
B
Allegedly. Allegedly.
A
Body cam footage.
C
Just when you thought it couldn't get any darker over there at Chuck E. Cheese, the body cam footage was released for the rat being arrested on duty. It was so he was at rat's den.
B
This is why I don't get to talk. That was a little cheesy. Orangutan are talking, Jared.
C
I have a special correspondent on the field and he wants to take this one.
A
This just in, guys. Evidently in Indonesia I just went into the forest and realized that there were people over there talking. It was orangutan. So swiftly I gave them jobs doing labor as they were hoping. Back to you, Ryland.
B
My ear might explode.
C
Oh, what was the segment called? The. What did you call it? This just in. And Shane.
E
Will Shane and Rylan make it to Vegas to see Ashley Simpson and Wizard of Oz? Or William, Will his ear explode on the plane to get there? Cause it's been clogged for months and nobody's done anything about it.
C
We hope he gets better.
E
Yes, we do.
C
Our best. Wishes to you, Shane.
B
Thank you.
C
Disneyland's using fake birds to spy on us. And low key. I think it's a good idea. I'd like to implement this at my own house. Can we get some fake birds?
B
No. Why?
D
Kids are scared of Google, of Alexa and stuff.
C
Throw away your Googles, ladies and gentlemen. Kids are afraid. And I'm starting to think that this is torturous. I don't know what Google is admitting, but it's a frequency that is wrong.
E
Fuck you, Google.
C
Portion of it.
B
No, not YouTube. We love YouTube.
E
We love Google. You know, some would say we bow at the altar of Google.
C
Honestly, it's just Alexa.
B
That's what they're doing.
C
It's Amazon. It's Alexa. It's Amazon's Alexa.
E
This just in. Baby babies worship at the altar of Google. Nobody's afraid. We're all here to praise our high God Google.
C
And we're gonna go back in time and re edit this episode to make every one of those clips just say, hey, Alexa.
D
Even though they were all Google.
B
Shut up, Spencer.
D
Sorry, Sally.
B
Love Google.
D
I love you, Google.
B
Alright you guys, well that's gonna wrap.

Date: September 22, 2025
Host: Shane Dawson
Co-hosts: Rylan, Chris, Spencer, Lizzy, Jared
Theme: An unfiltered comedic episode packed with “rabbit holes” and wild conspiracy theories – tackling celebrity humiliation rituals, Illuminati speculation, food industry scams, and the unsettling world of AI and tech. The cast also shares personal stories, health updates, and signature banter.
This episode leans deep into Shane’s signature blend of humor, curiosity, and dark intrigue. The group goes down several viral “rabbit holes,” explores recent conspiracy theories—from celebrity humiliation rituals to the possibility that animals secretly speak—and pokes fun at everyday horrors like malfunctioning household tech and glued-together meat. Classic podcast segments like “Conspiracy Corner” and lighthearted debates about lighting and catchphrases keep things playful.
Chaotic, irreverent, occasionally shocking, and laced with dark, self-deprecating humor. The cast freely pokes fun at themselves and each other while balancing pop culture commentary with genuine concern for tech-related and cultural issues.
