A
We've talked about it before. The Mountain Dew theory. The theory is every time Mountain Dew comes out with a new flavor, something bad happens that correlates with the name of the flavor. So then Spencer was like, oh, have you heard about the new one? I was like, no. So these new flavors, there's three of them. There's.
B
Oh, my gosh.
A
Hey, welcome back to whatever the hell this is. Caffeinated edition. I've never seen so much caffeine in my life. I walked out my office and everybody had a big goal.
C
You know, I've been on a pretty big cold brew cake lately, and I found a syrup. It's an espresso concentrate that adds like 100 milligrams of caffeine per tablespoon. I've been making some cocktails lately that have been keeping me up.
D
Are you okay?
A
Oh, yeah. I literally was like, are you guys ready? And Jared's like, yeah. And he had a Trente's.
C
Like, that's accurate.
A
Yeah, just accurate. And it was gone.
D
And then pulls out his syrup.
C
I didn't even know they put those in Trent cups until I asked for one. There's one that they can't sell you after like 4pm What? But I forgot.
E
Wait, what?
C
I don't know. It's like some kind of a nitro reserve, but they can't give it to you after a certain time.
D
What about the people that worked at the graveyard shift?
C
Yeah, Starbucks.
E
Wait, why do they care if we can't go to sleep? Who cares?
D
What were you saying?
A
Thank you.
E
Wow, good hosting.
A
That is the first time you have ever asked me that. Ever. Thank you so much for asking. What?
F
I was.
A
Why'd you just body check me? I saw that.
E
What?
A
I know I've been doing too much banana soft cream on my banana soft cream.
D
I'm not judging your weight.
G
What's banana soft cream?
C
It sounds like a weird way to say sperm. My banana soft cream.
D
And I wasn't weight checking you. I was out.
A
You're still doing it.
D
He's wearing like, gym shorts he's worn for five days with, like a crazy top.
B
Oh, now you're out.
E
Yeah. You're not shaming him. But we're just fully shaming. Don't dim his light.
D
No, thank you.
A
You saw that my light was dimmed.
E
Yeah, I didn't saw it in your whole room dim.
B
The Yaw Brothers have beautiful skin. Let's bring that light back.
C
That was some good, good complications topic of discussion earlier.
E
Really?
C
But I think it's cuz. We're oily. We have, like, a natural good amount of oil within our skin, and I think it keeps us soft and glowy.
A
Why? Why were you talking about your skin earlier?
C
I wasn't. It was brought to my attention that I have beautiful skin.
A
You do not a wrinkle in.
D
You guys have. You have great skin genetics and great teeth.
B
Genetics and great hair.
D
I'm saying that.
A
Just don't look below the neck. Well, guys, speaking of beautiful genetics, we have the Addams family here. Morgan, Vicki, their daughter Ryland. Can I ask a question about women in general? This is a pretty big question. Why are women so good at holding their caffeine? Because I have a girly energy drink in the fridge, and after, like, two sips, my heart started palpitating. I was like, I can't even handle this. And then I look on the can, I'm like, this fucking thing is like 2 or 300 milligrams of caffeine, which.
B
Is like, it's a lot.
A
Three cold brews. And these girls are just down. And I'm like, crazy.
B
I think we all go through our phase. I used to drink three a day, and I had to stop because I was having heart palpitations. And I think it was making me severely depressed because it gives you such a spike and then such a drop. It's kind of like drugs.
D
No, I'm serious. Like, I know.
E
That's why I'm laughing.
C
Caffeine is a drug.
D
Yeah.
A
It really is scary, though. But these girls, like, I'll be on Instagram, and they're just like, cracking these fucking things open or, you know, I love what I ate in a day. My favorite. And she's just cracking. These fucking energy drinks go boom, boom, boom. And I'm just like, how is she standing?
G
I used to drink a ton of those in high school, back to back to back, and feel nothing. Like it didn't affect me in any way. But I'm like, is that why I'm so broken? Cause I had so many of those.
B
You know what's even crazier is Pre workout that has like, 300 milligrams of caffeine per scoop.
A
It does. Doesn't that.
E
That seems unhealthy to get your heart going crazy before you work out.
A
There's also a supplement that Gen Z I heard about. I went on Jacob Sartorius podcast Shout Out. And I don't know if this was on camera, off camera, but somebody was talking about something that, like, makes you horny. And they're like, should we do it? I was like, what? Yes.
B
It's called Let me play. It's Courtney Kardashian's new. They're like. Yeah, it's a thing.
A
What?
B
I think it's supposed to, like, even all of your levels, so your libido is higher and your PH is good. So not only are you feeling fresh, you're, like, tasting.
C
Wow.
E
Use.
C
Use Morgan's link.
G
What did you say that brought up the Kardashian sex pill?
A
Well, no. So it's not that, but that is probably something.
G
But it's like a. I thought about honey packets.
A
Yes. Yes.
G
Is that what you're talking about?
E
What is that?
G
They're literally a pack of honey. But I think it has, like a type of Viagra in it.
A
What?
G
You down the honey and then you get horny and then you. You're bricked up.
E
And they sell that like gas stations. Right?
D
That sounds like a nightmare.
A
That sounds like a conspiracy fan.
B
Okay, can I say something? Yes to all of you.
A
Uh. Oh.
B
This is taking a lot of courage.
D
Oh, no.
B
I am sick and tired of all of slandering Arby's in every piece that gets posted to the Internet. You want to know who's going through Arby's and eating the triple beefy sandwich?
A
Me.
B
I like every bite of it.
D
Do you get their cheese? Like, their melted cheese?
B
I always say. Why do you guys always go to Arby's without me? Because one Spencer always orders it wrong. You can't get the cheese on it. You have to get the Jamoca shake. You have to dip the curly.
A
I'm listening.
D
Here's what I'm going to tell you. They have good frights.
A
They do have good fries. When you get a meat sandwich, like, what kind of meat?
E
What's your Arby's order?
B
It's supposed to be roast beef ice cream.
C
Supposed to be that sketchy.
B
I get a classic roast beef. No cheddar. That's where you go wrong. The curly fry and the jamocha shake. Okay, now that would be like one of my prison meals. It's so good to me.
G
I just want you to. If you haven't seen the most recent episode of the Sip where we went to Arby's, one of us did enjoy their beef and cheddar. I just want you to know, one of us enjoyed it.
D
Well, Chris will eat anything. His threshold is dog food. I mean.
A
I mean, I could.
D
I could honestly say, hey, foodie.
C
Friday.
E
Next Friday.
C
Don't break it.
F
But the color of the Meat of RB slander. That's. That is a problem.
A
And.
F
And it's true.
B
Well, that's my confrontation that every piece of media getting uploaded from this group always has Arby slander. And I'm part of the community that would like to stand up and say, there are Arby's girls keeping them in business, and I am one of them.
D
Well, you're lucky because they're false advertising.
A
There is an Arby's within postmate range. So here' what I think we should do.
B
Jamoka shake.
A
Jamoka shake. Let's all. Let's order. Morgan's order for all of us. And then by the end of the show, we'll all have an honest review.
D
I think we need to do less meat. Their bun wasn't bad. I always think I just get too much meat, and then it's just. You can taste it.
A
Jamocha shake.
B
It's so good. Shane, you're gonna.
E
What's the ju.
D
Is it coffee?
A
It's a rich and creamy J Mocha flavored shake. Ooh.
E
Why is it j.
F
It's really good.
B
Because it's Arby's and it's fun.
A
Don't.
E
Don't overthink it.
A
Hold on. And everybody at home, feel free to order together.
E
Play along at home.
A
Okay, they're preparing our order.
B
Prepare to be impacted in a good way.
A
I want to be changed for good. Well, we're going to take a quick little break. I gotta pee. And when we come back, guys, I think we're going to have a special.
E
Wait, I have to go. I have to go first.
A
Oh, you have to leave.
C
Why?
G
Why do you always have to leave when we're parking?
C
I don't park.
E
I park in, like, metered parking, so I have to go move my car.
A
Hopefully, whoever comes to replace you likes Arby's.
E
Well, we'll see. I guess we'll see if hopefully someone comes to replace me.
B
Maybe Spencer has a lady friend in the parking lot.
F
Wow.
E
What if I can't make it through a podcast?
A
He took too many honey packets. Get the out of here. All right, we'll see you guys soon. Don't go anywhere.
D
Whoa.
A
Who is that? Whoa. Hey, guys.
E
I figured I'd stop by. It's been a while.
A
Oh, my God. So, Steve Hartley, we haven't seen you in months.
E
Well, here I am. And you know what?
A
I figured it's time for us to.
E
Play a fun little game. What do you guys say? A game? We didn't steal from Jimmy Fallon.
D
He didn't Invent it.
E
Well, today we're playing the quiet talking game. He calls it the whisper game. So we're calling something else. Oh, Quietly. The very quietly talking game. We're gonna have three teams in two. We have Morgan and Chris.
D
Team name Kristen. Team Kristen.
E
And we have Ellen and Vicky.
D
Team.
E
Team Zamamos.
B
Okay.
E
Over here we have the Yaw brothers.
D
With their team Yamen.
A
Yamin.
D
Yeah.
B
Wow.
E
So we have our three team top.
C
Yamin.
E
That's a good name.
F
Oh, yeah.
E
So some of you may have seen this game before. The way it's going to work is that one. One person in the team is going to have earplugs and headphones in, and they're not going to be able to hear anything. The other team member is going to have a card with five different words and or phrases. They're going to have to say the card to their partner, and the partner, unable to hear them, is going to have to guess what they're saying. Are you guys ready to play? It looks like you're all confused.
C
I would be willing to let someone else go first.
D
I did not follow the directions, but I will get there.
A
I'm just having fun. This is the whistle for a challenge, right?
E
Yes.
A
Got it. Okay. Yes. I'm bad at this.
C
Perfect.
A
Great.
E
Do you want to go? You guys want to go first?
D
You know what? Yes.
C
All right.
E
We have our first team.
F
Oh, wow.
E
Okay, who wants to. Who wants to wear the headphones first?
F
I'll have the headphones first. I have a feeling the second round's harder.
E
Okay.
A
For context, he's making them listen to Mario Kart World.
C
Great choice.
D
So should we just do one?
F
Oh, I need to start, everyone.
D
So you can touch it.
F
I can't hear you.
A
I'll hold it.

Okay, Are you guys ready?

F

E
But we couldn't afford.
B
We couldn't afford to stay at Atlantis, so we stayed at a shitty motel across the street.
A
Street.
B
And then we would go to Atlantis and break in. It was awesome.
C
What the hell is Atlantis?
F
I didn't think it was a sh. Oh, no, it really kind of was. You're right.
D
Yeah, it was.
F
Yeah. And it was fun.
D
It's like a massive resort in the Bahamas.

B
You know, it was also that trip that he came out to us at the airport.
E
Oh, on the way there, on the.
D
Way back, on the way back, I tried and I was like, well, I don't know, I don't want to ruin the trip in case, like, the vibe's bad. So then we were departing, and seconds before I was going to la, they were going to Colorado, and my sister had lost her phone. And so they were both freaking out. And I was like, well, I got to tell them now or whatever. So they're like, freaking out about finding a phone. I'm like, and just so you know, I'm gay.
C
That was.
D
And then my mom goes, oh, that was so much less stressful than Morgan losing her phone.
F
Plus, I think I said, well, I already Know that.
A
So when did you know?
F
I really think his whole life. When he would play with Morgan's Barbie dolls more than he would her and her best friend.
D
They'd be like, he's gay.
F
Yeah.
D
And they were right.
A
Well, that's so sweet. And what a good strategy if you want to come out. Just wait till there's a family drama happening. Throw it in at the last second.
E
I'm gay.
D
Gotta go. And then just like the house is on fire. Also, I'm gay. Just like with everything. I'm like mom, Spread the word.

F
Oh, these are the best.
A
Oh, my gosh.
G
I've never tried these.
A
These. Should we all try that? Okay.
E
We haven't done a food thing in a while, but we're back to our old ways.
B
Are we already enter a universe unlike anywhere you've ever been.
E
Yeah. Guide us through this.
A
Oh, my gosh.
G
I feel like I have to stir it. Do I have to start?
A
Do I like it or do I hate it?
B
You love it.
D
You.
F
You have to learn.
B
You're in denial because you guys want to keep up the facade that Arby's is bad, but if you just lean in a little bit.
D
Well, the flavor fell to the bottom. You need to stir it. You need to get, like.
A
I just. I don't like coffee ice cream.
B
See?
F
I do.
D
It's pretty good.
G
This, for me, is hitting.
A
Okay, I don't hate it. I like it a little bit more every second. But how is it with the curly fries? Is that. That's the situation. We're dipping.
D
All right.
E
Should we pass out the grub?
D
I can't stop chugging it, so. Must be okay.
B
Oh, my gosh. You guys didn't tell me we were getting treated today.
D
You really manifested this. Actually.
F
All the.
B
The people I love and care about in one room smacking down some roast beef and jeans. Don't get better than this, kids.
D
The logo's pretty. I will give them their wrapping.
A
Well, you're gay, so you need the.
G
Sandwich and some sauce.
A
Thanks, Steve.
B
Yeah, Steve, you're a Steve.
D
Thank you, Steve.
A
Hold on. Let's wait for Steve to get his.
B
Okay, See, this is what your bun should look like before you reapply.
D
Oh, the fries.
B
Oh, it's a whole package, for sure.
D
Jared already took a bite.
A
No, I didn't. Why is the bag wet? Oh, maybe one of the cups of cheese exploded.
C
There's cups of cheese?
A
I got a few cups of cheese.
G
Me and Vicki like the cheese.
A
I do.
D
I don't like the roast beef. Their bun is good and their sauce is good.
B
Tell me what you don't like about it.
D
Texturally, I don't like. It's like, it's easy to chew.
B
If you had dentures, you'd be like.
A
Yes, that's what it's for.
D
I don't have dentures. It's fine. But, like, am I going there over Taco Bell? No.
B
Well, it's a Different food.
D
Yum.
E
I mean, yum. So good. Morgan, you were right.
D
This is delicious.
A
Try it with the jamocha. Let's dip the fry in the jamocca.
D
The beef is okay. I'd like to work.
E
It's bad.
F
I'm on board with Ryan.
C
What kind of meat is this?
D
Roast beef.
F
Beef, supposedly.
E
What is.
C
What is roast beef?
A
You made the fries really hard.
B
You guys were simply wrong. I think that they've doubled down so much on the fact that they hate Arby's that they're all pretending.
E
Wait, so this tastes like you were hoping it would.
C
This is accurate.
G
I like it with the fries in the sandwich.
A
Good.
D
They have good bread and they have good fries and they have good sauce. I'll give them. I'll give them what they're good at. The shake was also good.
A
It's just the foundation, which is meat is not good.
E
Kind of the thing they're known for.
D
They're really lacking on the beef.
B
I like the beef.
A
That's good.
E
Good for you.
A
I want you to like it. I want you to be the spokesperson for Arby.
D
Ms. RB all the comments are going to agree with you, so you'll find validation there.
A
Should this be an ongoing segment where every episode we try everybody somebody's favorite bascool Order. Ooh. Order up. That's what it's called.
D
I really can't get away from eating on the Internet.
B
Well, I appreciate you all trying something for me.
D
You're welcome.
F
Thank you.
D
You inspired a new segment, so thank you.

D
Someone hate Subway.
C
Me and Sandy went there last night.
A
And last night.
D
Always diabolical.
A
All right, well, I'm going to. I need to go donate all this Arby's to someone, cuz we're not throwing it away.
E
I ate mine.
A
Really?
F
Do you guys want mine?
A
All right, we're going to take a quick little break. When we come back, continue conspiracy corner. And guys, it's gonna get wild because we also have true crime. All right, see you guys soon.

Who's that?
E
Guys, what did I miss? I found a little change of clothes, and some guys offered me to swap clothes. I said yeah. Oh, yeah.
A
Is it weird that it just smells like Arby's in here?
E
I was wondering what that smell was. Smells really good.
A
I can't believe I missed Arby's.
E
I wish I was here for that.
C
But can we all agree In n out smells like bo?
A
Yes. And my car right now stinks because Rylan took Chris and Spencer to In n Out for the SIP and destroyed my car.
D
I will say it might be the craziest thing we've ever eaten on the sip, so definitely go give it a watch. You. It was crazy the way he swiveled.
B
That mic over when he heard his name.
A
I was like, oh, we need a.
D
Little promotion for the sip. We're doing hard work over there.
A
Okay, well, you know who does not need promotion? Because she fucking tricked me. She got me. Now, listen, this is a theory, okay? I'm gonna dive down a real deep rabbit hole because I saw this reel. I was having a bad night, and her reel popped up, and I was like, I love her. Gave it a like. Then her reel started popping up on my Instagram homepage, and I was like, something about this is feeling A little off to me. And that's when I started falling down the rabbit hole. Have you guys heard of Baddie Bethany?
E
No.
A
All right, let me show you her page. 702,000 followers. She's 82 years young, iconic, rich, and fabulous. Look at her living her life, showing all her money, showing her boyfriend.
E
Ooh, baddie.
A
She's a baddie. Showing her purse collection. But what really got me.
E
Guil alert.
A
Guil maybe Gil never heard of you. Okay, so here's the first one I saw, and we'll have to mute it for copyright. Oh, okay. Look at her. What a queen, right? Her jamoka is bringing the boys to the yard. Okay, so I saw that, and I was like, oh, that's so cute.
D
She can dance better than me too.
A
I look at her in front of her G wagon. I'm like, oh, my God. Look at her living her life. Her with her boyfriend.
G
I'm like, oh, that's her boyfriend?
E
Oh, yeah, different men.
A
And look at her caption to whoever said women expire after 30. I'm in my 80s and still living in my prime. And I was like, I love her. So then I was back on my Instagram Explore page, and I saw her again, and I was like, oh, that's my. Wait a minute. That's not Baddie Betty. That's too rich to age. And too rich to age is 75, retired from being nice. I love that.
D
Honestly, I want that in my bio.
A
Okay, so she has 212,000 followers. Let's watch some of her reels. Okay. She's getting in her Rolls Royce, living her life, just doing her thing. Okay. She's in her car, just being a baddie, showing her rich life, right? And I'm like, this is kind of reminding me of Baddy Bethany. And this is. Is too rich to age. Just ripping off Baddie Bethany. Like, what is happening? So then I find another one. Madame VV. 75 years of style, vintage, not old. Okay? She's swatting away the haters. She's showing all her diamonds, her rich life, being a queen. And I was just like, this is starting to get confusing. That's when I saw this.
H
She says she's 82 years old. That's just her. She says, in 1966. And then today. And I'm like. Like, that looked a lot like Marilyn Monroe. But, like, this woman's studying. 82 years old. Then I started watching a few of the video videos, and I'm like, something about this doesn't feel.
A
That's what I said.
H
This is a completely AI generated Internet personality. Oh, who's getting brand deals recommending no products. And it's not a real person. And AI isn't even good yet. Like so many of you immediately clocked at that was was not real. But the majority of people did think that was real and AI isn't even good yet. It's going to get to a point where we cannot detect whether it's really that person or a real person or AI. And that is scary.
A
Okay?
D
So you just write a prompt and you can manage an influencer's Life and take 100% instead of being an agent and taking 10.
A
Okay, scary that you thought that that fast. But here's what really freaked me out. Now listen, I did not want to believe this. I was like, no, there's no way my Betty, not my baddie Betty. There's no way that somebody just put Marilyn Monroe into chat GPT and said make her 82. Which is maybe what they did. I was like, there's no way that happened. But then I went back to the page of too rich to age and I noticed something really weird. Look at this reel and tell me if you notice it.
D
Face is shifting.
A
I know, but keep looking. Is there anything else weird that you notice?
E
Does she have too many fingers?
A
I didn't notice that. But maybe there's no reflection behind her in the mirror. None. That is so scary. And I was like, what the fuck? I go to the comments and there's no comments about it. I was like, there's literally no reflection in the mirror. What the fuck? Maybe is she AI too? Are all these beautiful mature women AI? So then this is where it gets a little weird. Please, Baddie Beth. And you don't sue me, don't come for me. Just take this as a promotion. I went to her Instagram and I was like, well, let me look at her bio. Like maybe she says, who created her or something. So I click on her website and it takes me to this website and it says, Batty Betty, the one and only. But then at the bottom it says, ladies, are you ready to upgrade from low effort coffee dates to luxury shopping sprees with my elite playbook for unlocking a high value provided partner and the lux life that comes with him. Join the wait list. 48 hour early access and bonus seduction scripts. Only 500 spots left. She's selling like coaching classes.
E
She quote unquote.
B
I hate the people that are like, buy my course and you'll be a millionaire by the end of the month.
A
And Batty Betty's doing that. And people are probably buying it because people think like, oh, I want to be this baddie when I'm 82 with.
D
AI in general, in all industries. That's going to become the world we live in, where people are going to try to utilize AI to make them money, to manage a service that AI is creating.
A
Well, yes. And you're going to be like, ever since I liked one of her posts, my Instagram is filled with fake people. And I, like, don't know yet. And then like, literally I was just watching some lady dance in her kitchen. I was like, oh, this is cute. And then I was like looking at it, I was like, is this AI? And then I look into it, I'm like, oh, it is. Now there's just like thousands of AI people on Instagram, but for what? And then people are trying to turn them into like the next hawk to a girl.
D
It makes nothing matter.
A
I don't know, just something about falling in love with this woman and then realizing she might not be real really hit me hard. How do you feel like when you saw that, were you just like, oh my gosh, like, that's. That's me when I'm 80. I can't wait. And now don't you feel lied to?
F
Definitely. And now I'm wondering. I watched 105 year old lady running marathons. Did I tell you about this one?
D
Oh, no, you were telling us last night.
F
But now I want to go back to Look, I Bet it is AI.
G
And I've seen a few things, like on TikTok, of people finding out someone they like whose content they enjoy is fake. Like, there was someone who was like, oh, I found this new artist that I love and I've been like, streaming their music. None stop. And I was telling everyone, go listen to her and like, she's not real. And he was like, heartbroken. And he's like, I don't want to listen to her anymore now, but it was good.
E
And I'm like, this sucks.
D
The sad part is they're gonna get better than us.
A
This sucks.
F
Yeah, everything sucks.
C
At least we got Arby's.
D
I don't know.
A
Nothing fake about that. Nothing fake. Okay, well, speaking of my world ending, guys, I think all of our worlds might be ending. Did you hear about the doomsday clock?
C
Has it gotten even less?
A
It's gotten even less.
C
No way.
F
It is now 85 seconds to midnight.
B
This is the closest the world has ever been to midnight. The risks we face from nuclear weapons, climate change, and disruptive technologies are all growing. Every second counts, and we are running out of time. It is a hard truth, but this is our reality.
E
What a depressing job that would be.
A
The Doomsday Clock person.
E
Well, guys, more bad news.
A
Well, supposedly the doomsday clock in 2026 is closer than ever to the apocalypse. I fully still don't understand the Doomsday Clock. You've broken it down to us before. But I was like, wait, I don't get it. Cause, like, what is is every second a year? Or like, sorry, my jamoka's coming up.
C
It's not really like a. A time thing necessarily. A clock is just the metaphorical structure they're using. But they're just saying that the world could end at any second at this point, and they're giving you contributing factors to that being the case.
A
I saw one thing that freaked me out yesterday, and it said, at some point in the not too far away future, everything on social media will be posted by dead people. And I was like, wait, what does that mean? But then I thought about it. I'm like, oh, yeah, because we're all aging, and then we're all gonna die, but all of our stuff stays on the Internet. So now most of the people online are dead people. Because you know when you watch movies, like from the 50s, and you're like, wow, they're all dead. Yeah, that's gonna be like that for the Internet and all the kids, you know, 30 years from now, 40 years from now, I'm like, wow, all these people are dead. That's crazy, right?
E
Yeah.
A
That is wild and so sad and scary. It is. Well, speaking of the world ending again, guys, okay, this one I thought was kind of funny, and then I got kind of got scared. We've talked about it before. The Mountain Dew theory. The theory is every time Mountain Dew comes out with a new flavor, something bad happens that correlates with the name of the flavor. Which, like, some of them are a stretch, but some of them are, like, pretty on point, and it's pretty scary. So then Spencer was like, oh, have you heard about the new one? I was like, no. So these new flavors, there's three of them. There's Mountain Dew white out, Mountain Dew code red coming back, and Mountain Dew voltage. And then Spencer goes, well, whiteout already happened.
E
Yeah, everyone's already saying, like, oh, yeah, the storm that covered the entire country.
A
Predicted it right as it dropped.
E
Then what's next? Code Red and voltage. What the hell does that mean? Are we all going to lose power? Are we all Going to get electrocuted.
D
A lot of people lost their power in the snowstorm.
A
Well, but then you put them all together. Just watch this video. It's crazy.
C
Mountain Dew's got a ton of new stuff coming out in 2026, including the return of a major fan favorite you guys have been asking for for ages. So let's get into the dates and details. We're starting off with a new scoop that we haven't talked about yet, and that is the return of Whiteout. We're expecting this to start hitting shelves in mid May with a caveat. Sounds like it's only going to be available in a variety pack that's going to contain Whiteout, Code Red, and Voltage. But if you know anything about Mountain Dew, these three flavors together may sound familiar. Combine those together, you get due sa. So it is technically.
A
That scares me because they're combining these. These tragedies together to make, like, usa. Like, yeah. I don't know. It's freaking me out. We got white out going on. This is all just a theory. Then we got Code Red, which to me sounds like Code Red. This is a bad situation. And then finally a voltage, which sounds like a mass power outage. That's the USA for 2026. Like, I feel like this is scaring me.
C
You gotta give it to them, though. Do essay.
E
Yeah, that's pretty good.
C
That's good. That's clever.
A
They need. Okay. Mountain Dew needs to lean into this. This and be like, we got a new flavor coming. Scared yet? Like, they need to.
E
It should be like Groundhog Day, where it's like, is there going to be something bad this year?
C
It's like, no, it should be called Doomsday Mountain Doomsday. Yeah.
E
Whoa.
B
Wow. That was good.
A
Well, thanks, Mountain Dew.
C
What do we do now?
A
What do we do? What did we do?
E
Look what you made.
C
What have we dune?
E
What if we dune.
A
Anyways? Okay, this next one. I wasn't gonna do this one. I wasn't gonna do this one.
C
But you went and dud it.
A
But I dud it anyways because I'm thinking we got the whole Addams Family here. We should see what side they're on. Maybe it's genetic. Let's see where we all land. Guys, I hate to say it. I hate to say it. No, Spencer's fault.
C
Shane.
A
Spencer, there's a new dress.
E
I can't believe you're doing this to us. Oh.
A
Wait.
B
It could look pink or white or gray and teal, but.
D
So then what's the question?
E
What do you see, this is what.
D
I'm saying, guys, but we all see the.
E
What colors are looking at.
A
Well, what do you see?
D
I mean, pink and white.
A
Really?
F
Yeah. Pink and white.
D
What do you see?
G
I see blue.
D
Blue and gray.
B
Right there.
E
Yeah, right there. You see blue and gray.
D
Okay, I'm gonna come kick you in the face. I see teal and gray. Blue and gray.
E
Okay, guys, good, good.
C
Sending.
D
It's his angle. He's like, from the side.
A
He's had armies.
D
And it's. It's. It's affecting his vision.
E
Did you guys agree? Did you guys agree on the last one?
G
Yes, we've agreed on all of them, actually.
C
That's the crazy.
D
They've been poisoned. My sister came here and poisoned us.
B
I see pink and white from over here.
A
I can see. Okay, I see both.
D
Good answer.
A
I can see a world.
D
Oh, you can always see both.
A
I can't. I can see a world where I'm like, okay, that's pink and white. But the lighting is really weird, and it's making it look blue and gray, like, that's what I see. So I can see both.
C
Where's the blue?
F
Where's the white?
A
Like, this lighting makes it look like that white could be a bluish and that pink could be a grave.
E
Wait, wait.
G
Okay, so you're saying it looks bluish, but you understand that it's not. Is that what you're saying?
D
So happy.
A
My brain worked.
D
It worked.
A
My brain is telling me that it could be bolts.
D
I know, but it's pink and white. As pictured here.
G
Not. Not to me.
E
Instead of you.
D
Yeah, he ate the whole thing.
F
I didn't eat the whole Arby's. And I think it's pink and white.
G
No, but you don't. What's weird, when you played this, I first saw a blue and a gray dress, and then when it came to the next video, I saw a pink.
E
Wait, that's annoying, because I saw the.
G
Other way and so I thought there were two. I thought we were seeing two different dresses.
D
We are.
F
And then.
G
And then you played it again. I saw the same thing the whole time.
D
You didn't swear.
B
Can we.
D
He came to piss me off.
E
No, I swear.
D
He's rage baiting me.
F
Okay, let's rewind thinking white.
G
Oh, no, it's even more blue that time.
F
Yeah, now it's blue and gray.
A
Blue and gray.
D
You saw blue? Okay, Vicky, I saw it the first.
F
Time, but when it turns, they're. They're playing with your mind. They.
B
That is not only.
A
Listen to Me.
F
That is not for real.
A
Let us know in the comments. What colors do you see? Pink and white or what did you say?
D
And I'm gonna stay out of them or I'm gonna think, you guys, I.
G
Saw silver blue and. Yeah.
A
Silvery gray. Yeah, let us know. Fight it out.
G
I wish there were glasses we could put on so we could see what the other person sees.
F
Maybe I should take my glasses, you.
A
Know what I mean?
F
Yeah.
B
Walk in each other's shoes, perhaps.
A
Yeah, I want to see or have each other's AI necklace on each other's necks. That's right. Guys, this is pissing me off. We literally, a year ago, maybe two years ago, talked about that device Friend, which like went viral. And people are like, this cannot be real. It was literally a necklace that would hang on your neck and it would talk to you all day and it'd be like, oh, you liking that Arby's? Like, what you order? Like, it would just talk to you all day. And people were like, that's so sad. That's so crazy. Why would you do that?
D
Like, how many calories is in this?
A
Yeah, like you could have it be.
D
A friend, but a smart friend.
A
And we were like, there's no way that that would be real.
B
Well, I've never brought anybody else.
A
I mean, besides her. She goes everywhere with you, right?
F
No.
A
Now OpenAI announces that their first wearable device will launch in summer or fall of this year. And it like looks, it literally looks just like friend hangs on your neck. You can talk to it all day.
E
One of a camera.
A
Yeah, it has a camera because it has to watch everything you're doing on it. Well, it's not just chatgpt getting in on this. Apple allegedly is working on their own camera equipped AI style pin that's wearable the size of an airtag. I like, is this just now nobody thinks this is weird.
B
Like, what, what's the point of having this and your phone though? Can't your phone do everything that this would hypothetically do?
A
Yeah, well, your phone isn't always, always watching.
C
So I think we talked about it one time in the past, but there is a company who their whole thing is getting facial recognition to like the top.
D
I think it's Palantir.
E
Right?
C
We talked about them. Who's gonna own the rights to the footage being produced by these cameras? And like, how open is this footage to being warranted if like the government needs to see it or something? Like this is. This will be something where the second you open is going to ask you to tap on an agreement and I guarantee you it's going to say somebody can look at this whenever they want.
D
Well, and yeah, we need to get.
C
Really, really stringent about reading fine print, especially with stuff like this coming out, in my opinion.
A
Isn't that, didn't that happen with chat GPT now like everything you've ever said to it could just be used in like court cases and stuff.
C
Yeah, like wasn't there a movie that almost is reminiscent of this situation, Eagle Eye or something like that?
G
The Shia LaBeouf movie?
C
I believe so. I think that movie is about how there's cameras everywhere and there's someone who is able to access of them and then you could like have surveillance on whatever you want all the time. It's pretty, pretty gnarly stuff to think about. And people are going to actively be paying to be a part of the experiment.
A
Well that and also people might already be a part of some of these experiments because if you guys didn't know, Tik Tok had another update.
G
Oh my God, people are mad about it.
A
They are.
D
Yeah, yeah, listen, I think people are actually deleting it.
E
Yeah, yeah.
A
So woohoo.
B
Come back to the tube.
G
It's never too late.
D
YouTube hasn't done the whole time.
B
We have years and years of videos.
D
You can go back and binge.
A
Yes. Tik Tok has done a lot of adjustments to their terms and conditions. Some of them including. Basically they can collect your information as they've already been doing, but they can actually show you ads outside of TikTok. So when you're not even on the app, you're on other apps or other websites or something, they can and still track you through those? Allegedly. Just a theory. Well, this is really creepy. So ever since that happened, people started getting really weird search suggestions on their TikTok. So I can't even process what some of this means, but okay, we'll start slow. This one. Beware of the man who speaks in. Don't know what that means. What? Messaging to Americans from other countries. This device has been seized. And then if you keep scrolling, these.
E
Are all sent in by View viewers.
A
By the way, I gave you too many chances to leave America. Now literally. What the fuck is going on? Government knows you have a spiritual gift. What?
E
It's a gay poor.
A
Do you know how lucky you are to have your mobile device is still in the vehicle? Look at what your brother did to you. Ew. Like literally. What the fuck is going on? Leave America now. That's another one.
E
Yeah, they forget there's like some of them are repeated over and over again.
B
Oh, my God.
A
NASA wants people to evacuate.
E
Yeah, so everyone just started, like, as soon as the update happened, everyone just was like, wait, what is this? Like, many, many people were sending in emails with like, wait, what the fuck's wrong with my TikTok? What the fuck's wrong with my TikTok? And it kept being like this over and over again.
D
And so what happened? They just merged with another company or.
E
Yeah, they just took over from like the Chinese company who still owns like a part of it, but now it's majority owned by like these other people.
D
US Company.
C
Well, very creepy.
A
Before we get into Jared's theory and Vicky's true crime, let's lighten the mood just a little bit. I want to show you something that I found recently that I thought was really funny. Have you seen the American Sniper clip with a baby? Have you seen this? So this is literally in a movie that won best picture, I believe, at the Oscars. Watch this clip of Bradley Cooper and this baby. I do, Gabe. See, they can't wait.
E
And we can.
I
New Year, new me.
D
Cute.
I

B
Experian.
A
Look at the movie. That's a baby doll. That's a baby doll. That's crazy. Listen, shout out to Bradley for making it work. He likes. And that's so funny. What do you think happened? Do you think the bait, the real baby got sick or something and they were like, what do we do?
D
Or they tried a few takes with the baby and it wasn't working.
A
Listen, not to shade them, but they didn't even. I have seen that baby doll in that outfit at Target. Like they didn't even change the. Like you can see the beanie is like stitched to the head. Like that is so. It just made me happy.
C
I just seen like 20 years like Instagram reel. Where are they now from American Sniper? Bradley Cooper. And there's Bradley Cooper morphing into himself now. Are they just the baby doll.
A
Make that. Wow. Well, that was fun. Okay, Jared, take us down the rabbit hole.
C
We're traveling out. We're in Joshua Tree. Oh, we're having a nice time. The stars are up at night. It's beautiful. But about 20 miles away or so is a town called Landers. Very spooky. And one of the things that you will find if you explore enough is something called Giant Rock. Is anyone here familiar by chance? So Giant Rock, what it is, and I actually have a picture of it right here in that bottom corner right there is actually Sandy.
A
Oh, my God.
C
And so what you're looking at is the main bulk of the rock and then a piece of it that fell off about 25 years ago or so in 2000. But so what this is is it's the largest freestanding boulder in the world. So it's about 60ft tall, and the bottom of it takes up about 5,000 square feet.
D
And where did it come from?
C
I mean, it's an enigma. Nobody really knows where it came from. I'm sure people have studied it and tried to theorize it, but this is just like an anomaly because of its size. And there is a mountain next to it, but none of the rocks are even looking scale to this rock. So for centuries and centuries, this rock has been revered as something that holds a certain power to it. And in the 1930s, a gentleman named Frank Kritzer, he was a gold miner, and he was going around trying to find the perfect place to homestead where he could mine for gold, obviously. And he saw this rock and he thought, well, you know, it's like 140 degrees out here in the Mojave Desert, very hot. But maybe if I built a little room underneath this rock, I could live underneath it.
A
Like Patrick.
C
Yeah, the thermodynamics of having a rock above me will help. And he was an insane, insanely smart guy. So he built like a 400 square foot apartment. You could almost say, underneath this rock.
A
What?
C
And yeah, so he lived underneath it. And you can actually museum today. It's not a museum, but when you go there, you can see underneath where he would have access.
A
That crack?
C
No, not that crack. It's actually around the rock on the other side of it.
A
Okay.
C
And in the 1940s, we were in World War II, and the government got wind of this guy living under this rock. And the speculation was maybe he's a spy for Germany. So they came over to the rock, they had a confrontation with them outside. He went back underneath the rock, and in order to get him out of it, they threw smoke bombs. But Unbeknownst to them, he had a bunch of dynamite under this rock, and it actually blew up everything underneath, killing him instantly, unfortunately. And so, you know, after that point, the rock had a little bit of silence around it.
A
It.
C
But in the very early 50s, a man named George Van Tassel ended up coming over and homesteading for the rock. And one night as he was meditating, he got visited from what he said was aliens that came from Venus. These were, like the common visitors who told him that this rock is extremely sacred. The aliens use it as a landing pad. And for, like, hundreds of years, people have meditated underneath it in order to communicate with these extraterrestrial beings. And they told him a secret for keeping your body young forever and how to time travel. And it's actually a place you could visit about 10 minutes away from this rock called the Integratron. And it has been converted because it's, like, revered as having some of the best acoustics in the world. And now it's a sound bath.
A
So that was under the rock 10 minutes away?
C
No, that's about 10 minutes away.
A
But it's like Patrick's house.
C
Yeah, but, but the. But the crazy thing is now it's being used as a sound bath. And he said that the aliens gave him information on how you could stay young and keep your cells rejuvenated in your body. And it wasn't until just maybe like 20, 30 years ago, scientists did a bunch of research and actually found that certain sound frequencies, like the ones in these sound bats, are very good for de stressing, helping you anti age and all of this stuff. So, I mean, the guy said he got visited by aliens who gave him secret information about how to stay young and all this stuff. And he built something that literally, science has proven to be effective. Oh, it's pretty crazy stuff. I mean, when you go there, it's like nuts. You got to drive very far. I mean, they ended up having to build the airfield next to it just so people could fly it and visit this rock. But it's like a trip, and you could drive right by it. And it. It's a little bit sketchy because they have barbed wire all over the place. So I almost got flat tires trying to get close to it, but, yeah, there it is.
A
Wow. Well, let's all go sound bath.
C
Let's do it.
D
I do like those vibrations.
F
I do, too. I like sound bath.
C
But if you're into the obscure, the weird stuff, Joshua Tree in itself is a great place to go. But you gotta go visit Giant rock. You gotta experience it for yourself and you know, let us know what you think about it. But very cool space, very cool spot.
A
Wow. Well, speaking of people who just keep getting younger.
C
Bathe us with sound.
E
Whoa.
A
Bathe us with those true crime sounds.
F
Well, now I want to go to a sound bath.
D
Me too.
F
Today's true crime story that I'm going to tell you is pretty. A pretty recent one. It's just been in the news the last 30 days and I admit I've been following it because they just keep coming up with more updates, which really reels me in. So I just can't help it. But. And it's very sad because it's about a family of four. The mother and father are Monique and Spencer Tempe Tepe. And so you may have heard about this story and it happened just about a month ago, right after Christmas. This couple was in their home of five years and they've been married for five years and they have two kids that are two and four. And Spencer is a dentist. And his boss from the dental office calls the police and lets them know that he has an employee that hasn't shown up for work and that it's so unlike him that he really wants them to go do a well check on them. So then a neighbor hears the kids in the house screaming and going crazy and he calls the police and they tell him that he, you know, shouldn't go in, the police will be there soon. But he does get in and he goes up to the bedroom and he calls 911 and he said there's a body. And so then the police really send somebody quickly, but it was the body of Spencer Tempe. Then the police do come in and they, they find actually that the wife had also been shot. So both Spencer and Monique were shot. And so the police discover this and the kids were just, just. Yeah, can you imagine? Yeah, one was four years old and the other's two. So really, quite quickly, the police zero in on Monique's ex husband and he is a vascular surgeon. They've been divorced for almost a decade. And so it's allegedly said that he has emotionally abused her and even strangulation possibilities. And that's all alleged. They haven't quite confirmed all of this yet. So they start checking footage of ring cameras and they realize that the person that's on the ring cameras at 2 or 3 in the morning, walking up and down the streets in front of their house, going around to the back of their house, it really fits the shape of this Ex husband. And so with that, they decide to go after him and check him out. Well, they realized that he booked a room at the hospital for the night of the murder, and he booked it completely. And he showed that he was in the room for 14 hours. He leaves his cell phone behind in the room, and that way he has a cover for this, is what they're allegedly saying. And then they find out, and this has just been updated within the last week, that he probably actually entered their house while they were on vacation the first part of December and actually made it so that he could have a window where he could get back in easily after Christmas. And that's what he did. So he, in the middle of the night, like I say, didn't take his cell phone. He didn't want it to be tracked that he had gone there. But I think the first time, he did have a cell phone, and that's how they know that. So he goes back to the house just a few days after Christmas. Imagine the house all decorated for Christmas and, you know, celebrating the holidays. And this happens. So the poor kids have lost their.
D
Parents and then just left.
F
And then. Oh, yeah, just left. But he had been, I guess, weeks before that. Friends let the police know that she had said that he had been making threats that he would come and take her life or move into the house next to her and make her life miserable.
B
Oh, my God.
F
So.
A
So is. Is this guy denying that he did all this?
F
Yep.
A
What is he saying? What's, like, his defense?
F
He's just saying, I was asleep at the hospital all night, but really, he booked the room. That doesn't prove he was in the room. He left his phone in the room. But that doesn't prove anything. But this is a recent story, and so you can kind of follow it, and it. It just breaks my heart, so I can't get my mind off of it.
A
So where is it at right now? Like. Like, are they in court or what's his.
F
No, not in court yet. Like I say, it only happened 30 days ago, but they do have him in custody, and then he's awaiting trial.
A
Wow. So I'll definitely keep an eye out for that. That's so sad.
F
God, it is sad, isn't it?
C
Justice for the Tempes, you know?
F
Yeah, I agree. It's really sad.
D
Yeah.
A
Well, really sad story, but it's time.
F
For a recap now.
C
Well, I was kind of going like, you just birthed an amazing moment in the show, but you also birthed an amazing human.
D
Thank you for calling Me.
C
Amazing in the show. And it's time for a recap.
A
Light, camera, action.
B
Rylan's recap is about to happen. Rylan's recap.
D
On today's episode of the Shane Dawson Podcast, Morgan is here as a guest.
B
And tried brainwashing us in a conspiracy.
D
Corner of her own. That Arby's is delicious.
B
I got the meats over here.
D
In a new segment we're calling I Don't know.
A
I Don't Know. I Don't Know.
C
That's a good one. I got the meats.
B
That's their slogan.
A
That's what you're going to say when you're on the billboard.
B
Yeah. Yes.
D
I have got them to be.
C
And there's nothing cheesy about it.
F
Mm.
B
Mm. Leave the cheese off of it.
D
You thought you could get a recap without me, didn't you, freak.
E
Sally.
A
Sally, we missed you. How are you?
D
I bet you did. I could go a little longer without seeing you.
E
I didn't miss you too much, Sally.
D
Aw, Steve, you were the one that hosted this incredible game today. Tell me all about it.
C
Your hair looks like garbage.
D
Oh, you're whispering.
C
I get it, Sally. Incredible episode today. I can't wait to try that chocolate syrup. Jared was talking about to have some.
E
Caffeine into my drink.
D
Oh, yes, we're starting to worry about that Jared. He's consuming so much caffeine, I'm not sure he's okay.
C
Shut up.
D
You know who else isn't okay? People using TikTok.
C
Absolutely. TikTok has updated their privacy policy, and now they can see in your home what you're doing when you're.
A
I think this is Morgan and your mom's first time seeing this.
D
Yeah. Do you guys know this is our.
A
Our poorest.
F
It looks good once it's all edited.
G
Damn.
D
Normally, we're pretty good.
C
Millennials are cracking fatties with honey packs.
D
Have you heard Honey packets would make you hard.
C
Oh, are you kidding me? Silly. I'm cracking a fatty right now.
A
I know.
D
I'm going to call HR because you're not my types, Steve.
E
Giant rock, Time travel.
D
Okay. Jared and Sandy went to visit the giant rock, period.
C
Yes, they did, Sally. They saw a giant rock where aliens evidently have come to abduct human beings before, and.
D
It was weird.
C
It was weird. It was fun. It was very cool.
D
Spencer's trying to start some drama today.
A
Oh, yeah, just fight with Spencer.
E
You're trying to. You try to start drama every time.
D
Spencer, shut the up. He brought a dress on the scene and it caused drama because Chris had to open his stupid mouth. Being all stupid. What do you have to say for yourself?
A
It's just the colors I saw. I can't help it.
D
Stupid.
E
Can you even see color? Sally, It's.
D
Fuck you. Well, I hope you enjoyed this fantastic episode of the Shane Dawson podcast.

This episode is a caffeine-fueled gathering packed with signature chaos, dark humor, and "brutally honest" stories from Shane and friends. It blends personal anecdotes, food reviews, conspiracy chatter (including the Mountain Dew theory and deepfakes on Instagram), AI anxiety, and unexpected true crime. Regular and surprise guests (including family members) ignite recurring debates about everything from caffeine and fast food to internet privacy and optical illusions.
Loosely structured, fast-paced, and irreverent. The group blends dark humor, self-deprecation, and sharp pop culture observations. Tangents and debates are a feature, not a bug. The chemistry and quick wit between friends and family drive entertainment as much as the “official” topics.
A packed, laughter-filled journey through modern anxieties, nostalgia, and internet oddities, often veering from the absurd to the alarmingly real. Conspiracies and social commentary blend with personal vulnerability, a signature of Shane’s podcast style, inviting listeners to both laugh and wonder—what’s real and what’s artificial, online and off?
“Nothing fake about that. Nothing fake.”—Shane, on Arby’s, after an hour of debating what in life is real (41:02)
