[MUSIC] It's time for a new episode of The Reading Room Ruffians, your favorite library podcast. This is Mallory, and today my bestie for the restie and I will be dawning our own 10-foil hats and bringing you some conspiracies that will convert even the biggest skeptic. Crinkle, crinkle! Our supreme overlord Carla is excited to not be the only conspiracy yet in this crazy house today. We are recording from our library in Jackson County. You all say a prayer or whatever for Zach who will be rolling his eyes so hard this episode will all feel it all the way from Seattle, Washington. I think they're just going to roll off into the floor. Maybe you find your charger down there. All right, he wants to go first. You can, it doesn't matter. Okay, so my conspiracy theory today is about how the government is planning these attacks and like these huge fiascoes like blaming people who aren't in actual trouble for things. What? That's the most incoherent thing. Well, okay, it's about Luigi. It's about Falga's. Yeah, Falga is essentially. It's Luigi and Matthew and the other guy whose name I can't remember, but it's like Arabic or something. I don't know. Maybe Indian, I'm not sure. He's from Texas though. Just so everybody's aware. Okay, so the very first thing I wanted to go over was Luigi and how they arrested him for shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Health Care and how very many people think that he is actually innocent. So we got a timeline. We ready for this? We're ready. Yes. All right, so apparently on November 24th, the suspect. It was to believe to be a man. All right, the New York City via Greyhound Bus, right? And then on the 29th, they said that they found a backpack carried by the gunman who killed United Health CEO. Now what I found weird about this was this is November 29th, right? He didn't kill Brian until like December 4th. That doesn't make sense to me. So it was in November 29th. November 29th, they found the backpack. Okay, the suspect checked out the hostile on November 29th and law enforcement official told CNN he checked back into the hostile on November 30th. Multiple law enforcement sources previously told CNN the suspected gunman used a fake New Jersey license when checking into the hostile. According to law enforcement officials, the identification was used to check in on November 30th. It appears he shared a room on the fourth floor with two other men, which I didn't know that part, but whatever. Anyways, they said that they found a backpack that was carried by him, right? So they found it weird. I don't know why they were checking into him on the 29th when he hadn't done anything. Well, see, that doesn't make sense why and how they know it was his and not one of the other two men. And they said that the reason they have photos of him in a hooded jacket with his mask down is because he was flirting with a woman who checked him in, which she is probably the luckiest woman. I mean, I don't, I don't think personally, yeah, I don't think that personally, the, the Luigi is like very attractive looking, however, the man in the picture. Yeah, he's pretty. Yeah, he's pretty. I just can't, I don't know. Okay, anyways, so on December 4th at 5am, the suspect was spotted on surveillance footage about 5am outside the hostel, holding what appeared to be an e-bike battery. Oh, and December 4th at 6.15am. He is leaving the 57th Street F train before the shooting. Then he was spotted out of Starbucks. And then around, let's see what time did he shoot him actually. All right, so at 6.45am, the suspect approached the United Health Care CEO, Brian Thompson, from behind. And then it talks about Brian Furbin and no one cares. Anyways, so then he shoots him, right? So at 6.48, law enforcement arrived at the scene outside the Hilton Hotel and Thompson was a pronounced dead 30 minutes later. So to December 4th, 6.48am, please show up. See you guys. Why were they looking into him on 29th? I don't know. And didn't he shoot him multiple times? I don't know. I think he did. And how did he know that guy was going to be there then? I was going to say, he didn't say if he did. But he got away on a bicycle, like an e-bike. He had that battery. I love. I love that. Were they just like chasing him on foot or something? It says Kenny and police commissioner Jessica Tish revealed that the investigators believe the gunman left New York City on a bus. So he read the bike to the bus station. But they have not found video of him leaving or getting one of us. So this is just an assumption. Right. So December 7th. How do they not have that when they have all those other videos? Because there's there are cameras in buses. Yeah. Oh, I don't think you did it. That's exactly. See, just in the timeline. And she's already like, no, I didn't even before. Okay. So December 7th, please continue to search Central Park. Scuba divers are scouring a pond. The NYPD releases additional photos showing the suspect and shooter. Uh, next to and in the backseat of a taxi. He is in both images. He's seen wearing a blue medical style face mask. Uh, despite recovering a fingerprint from the Starbucks purchase and sending items to DNA testing, police have yet to publicly identify the suspect. December 8th, scuba divers are in Central Park, park pond. And they, the police declined to comment on said investigation. Okay. And then we all know what happened. Luigi got got at McDonald's, which I really think is stupid. And actually happened. Okay. Now I have a question. Did they ever see the shooter without his mask? Well, they say in the video beforehand. Remember on November 29th, that's just making the assumption that was the same guy because I don't think that they ever did. No, because there was no distinguishable clothing or really no distinguishable backpack. It was just like something anyone could have. Yeah. Probably there's thousands of them. Yes. So. Yep. Yeah. So we all agree. Luigi's answer. It happens so quickly that they found somebody. Yeah. And I get such a big deal about it too. And with all the incriminating evidence right there. Perfect. Yeah. So like if this guy planned it like this and he gets caught so easily, why would you have all of that stuff on you? Like I just, yeah, if he's supposedly like he's he's not a dumb kid. No, like he's not. You're not going to just like, I mean, all of the crime shows there are out there. You're telling me he didn't watch any and learn a few things. Yeah. Per away. No way. I just so one of the main things that conspiracy theorists are discussing about Luigi and how he is innocent is his eyebrows. No. For those of you who don't do eyebrows, eyebrows don't grow that fast. No. Okay. You cannot go get your eyebrows threaded, which rips your hair out. If you don't know what threading is, that's ripping your hair out. Yeah, it's really painful. It will not grow back in three days. You will not have a unit brow in three days. No. No matter how hairy of a person you are, that does not happen. Nope. All right. One hair hairstylist said that she was a hair stylist and that nobody's hair grows that fast. It's even on the state board test that hair on your head grows a quarter inch of a month and your hair on your brows grows even slower. So that just kind of validates the theory that the eyebrows are not yet. Now, some fun little offshoots of this that I love is the number 286. Okay. So this is weird. You're going to like this one. Okay. So on his profile on Twitter, I think it's, is it pronounced Manjioni, Zach? That's why I've heard Manjioni. Yeah. Okay. That's what I thought. Well, sorry. Manjioni. Well, I'm not Italian. So I'm not even going to try that. But anyways, he features the Pokemon Brilum, which is the 286 Pokemon. He also posted exactly 286 times on Twitter when he was arrested. 286 is also the code of health insurance companies use when the appeal time limits for healthcare claim are not met. And then they even linked it to the Bible. Proverbs 286 stating, "Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways." All right. And then they say that the distance between the location of the shooting and the McDonald's where he was found is 286 miles. But if you look it up on Google Maps, it's actually 279. So who knows? Maybe he took a detour. Well, I feel like that one is just, that one's kind of silly. The rest of them makes some sense like the health code and then the Bible thing. It could be either one of those. Which makes you wonder is like, because I do not believe Luigi actually saw him. I do not. But I think he may be playing into this. And they're making him. They might be, because they're making such a huge triasco about this. So who is the conspiracy theories saying is behind it if it's not him? The government, there's actually, it's called, they think it's called a siop, which is a psychological operation conducted by the government to influence a target audience's belief. See, this is the thing, though. It doesn't like, I mean, generally, the government's been paid by the healthcare, like the health insurance industry to make sure that they, like, you know, don't change the law. What I think it is is that somebody shot them, shot Brian. They could not find who it was. And they just found somebody I feel like my conspiracy is all about fall, fall guys, the government's, just picking these people or planning these attacks to, like, make a statement or then planting all of that. I mean, yeah, planting all the evidence and yada yada. Yeah, because why would they look beforehand? Yeah. Why would you investigate something when nothing had happened? And also, what right do you have exactly? I just don't know why if, if he, so are they, so the 286, are they saying that he planned all the 286s or just a coincidence? They're saying that he's trying to, like, send a message. He's trying to, okay, let's be honest. This is the type of stuff that he's going to do that much. He's not going to get caught within a week. I'm like, there's no way. Oh, this is true. I mean, if he said, yeah, it's not about the methodical about it. There's no way you're going to get caught that soon. And you're going to have all of your stuff, like, in what three separate places, a manifesto. Yeah. And, like, I don't believe that manifesto was a legit thing. No. And that's actually something in one of my other guys here in a little bit too. I think that they were, I saw, I think it was a, could have been Instagram or something. Just one lady was she was like, I think we should all carry manifestos all the time. They made a good exchange them. Oh, yeah, that's how you find your group of friends. That's what I saw that. That's very funny. All right. So another conspiracy theory is linking the board game monopoly to the shooting. I haven't heard this one. Okay. So at first, they pointed out that the backpack found in Central Park, police contained monopoly money. Yes. Oh, yeah, I heard that. Right. And they also noted that all tuna, I think, I think it's how you pronounce it is the home of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which is something you buy in an awfully. And also the poster highlighted the fact that McDonald's ran a promotional campaign for the game for decades. And that's where he was. Oh, my God. That's just, that's the silliness. I don't know. I don't know what they're trying to say with that one, but I wanted to go ahead and include it. I think I think the 286 and the monopoly are the side up to get people to discredit all the other stuff because people are so crazy. They would believe in anything. So weak, but like, yeah, they posted a picture of him where he had peed his pants or whatever. Right. And like, did you all see the Adam Sandler thing? Okay. There's a movie where his kid had pees his pants at this camp. Oh, and Adam Sandler was like, I got you. Right. So he pees his pants. He's like, well, yeah, all the cool kids do it and stuff like that, you know, and like played it up. Yeah. And like, people are like, Oh, so he peed his pants big deal because they're trying to make him look weak, trying to make him look unappealing and stuff like that. Uh, listen. Maybe he just built coffee. I really feel like they could probably just pour water on it. Yeah. Like, there's that, but then there's also like all the armed forces and stuff when they walk in places. Yeah. But then there's there's also like if we're going to like make fun of people for peeing their pants, like I'm so sorry. They have put up political pundits who have literally pooped their pants in public. Like, I'm so sorry. Who are you making fun of? Yeah. Let's quit. Yeah. So anyways. Um, and then they think that maybe, uh, he's a patty or a CIA plant. And they also thought maybe Nancy Pelosi was somehow involved because her brother, a former mayor of Baltimore once mentioned Manjioni's grandfather as a well-known businessman, which I also think that's a bit reaching. Yeah. No. Yeah. That's kind of silly. Who knows? Um, another one of the things is that they think that maybe they're using these mysterious drones that were in New Jersey. Um, as a way to try to distract us from the United Health Care uprising because we're having such like class consciousness now. I totally think that the drones were some sort of attempt. I mean, the government was not freaking out. No, they never did anything. Like, if it was a real problem, there's no way. Yeah. That's explanation enough. Anyway. So then it goes on to talk about how they think it's a sirep, um, an account called emaloon ill illuminati. I swear I'm just part of a thousand word post on Twitter, which that's a long post on Twitter. Yeah. All right. So another, oh, they said that, uh, this is funny. I thought this was that account wrote this. They said, Luigi didn't kill Brian Thompson. The deep state did three out of 10 sirep lazy execution. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I can't see, here's the thing though, I can't understand why people would think that the quote unquote deep state would even do this. It doesn't make an extent to me. It seems counter to either. I don't think that the government per se killed Brian. I don't, I think somebody did, you know, somebody who's mad at him, shot him. Yeah. But I think they're using Luigi as a fall guy. In my opinion, it does make a lot of sense for them to essentially sacrifice one of their rich people in order for all of the other rich people to band together and be like, we must protect the rich. Look at how, look at how mad everybody has been that there are people who are not sorry for this guy at all. Yeah. And, and they're mad that there are so many people that are not sad about it. It's like, I don't know what you want me to think about it. He has personally been responsible for the deaths of many people. Oh, yeah. And nobody cares and he is a multi millionaire. Yeah. Like, but calls of it. Yes. Because like, because that's the, that's the reason United have care. They're the ones who had the AI that would review accounts and had like a 90% refusal right. Yeah, projection right now. So like, you're murdering people left and right. And it's not just, and then you got people, it's people and just like anyone that's going to cost a money. Anyone who cannot afford to pay for something on their own. Yeah. And which is literally nobody except for rich people. We're cross blue shield with their, our steجus things that came about, who knows, maybe, which I didn't hear that one. What's that? The insurance company can decide how long you're allowed to have anesthesia during a surgery. Yeah. What? They decide how long that surgery. So they have a hunger. Uh-huh. You either have to pay out of pocket or they have to stop the surgery. Yeah. Yeah. So how would you stop a surgery? They will pay for a certain amount of, I'll see you for a surgery given the type of surgery it is. Basically. Yep. I like to just go even further into they could sacrifice. He was the least paid out of all of the health insurance CEOs. Really? Yes. Wow. Yeah. Like, he, like, I think it was like 10.5 or something, million dollars a year or something, which is insane. But he was the least paid out of the top, like, the big sacrifice to low man. Yeah. And like, in my, in my head, that makes sense. Yeah. Like, I mean, I get it. That doesn't, they don't, they don't care who has the money. They just care that it stays. And if they got to get rid of somebody, why wouldn't you get rid of somebody who has the least? Yeah. Okay. So now on to our next fall guy, Matthew Livelsberger. Love that. Which one of his names? He is the one who set off the cyber truck outside of the Trump. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. This manifesto thing was also why we're gonna make it a bit of sense. Yeah. Okay. So first off, he supposedly shot himself in the head. Cyber truck goes off with fireworks, blows up, injures seven people. Okay. Was there a question that, is there a timer on that? Was there like, I don't know. See, that didn't make any sense to me. How can you kill yourself an envelope of things up unless you have time or something like that? Everything in that car was charred and burnt, except for conveniently a military ID. Yeah. And a very distinctive tattoo. Yeah. That sounds weird. L and two iPhones, because that's what his manifesto was one. Oh my God, two two iPhone. And this is not suspicious. No. Of course not. What was I thinking? What were you thinking? I don't know. Oh, just so everybody's aware, I did have a picture of Luigi's eyebrows. Oh, yes. Wow. And that's if you just, somebody even photoshopped his eyebrows onto this person to show that the eyebrows are not the same. And also like with the mask down, I don't think that the noses are the same. No, it's not the same. And I really think that the person that they actually caught on video with the mask down had a very pretty like feminine smile. Like I just, it was very, I knew it was a man, but it was just feminine. I don't know how to explain it, but and I just don't think that he looks anything like that. Like he has a pretty smile on all, but it's totally different. Not the same. And I never thought I was like, it doesn't, it does not look like him. Yeah. It does not. Okay. So anyway, so this driver truck driver, I have his man or parts of his manifesto, right? And this is wild. I do not think that this is legit. I think this is made up. Okay. He referred to the event as a wake up call and was using it as an effort to rid himself of the burden of the lives that he took in combat. Right? So he wrote, try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get them dims out of the fed government and military by any means necessary. They all must go in a hard reset must occur for our country to avoid collapse. Fellow service members, veterans and all Americans, time to wake up. We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves. He said, we are the United States of America, the best country people the best country people to ever exist. Whoever typed this or if it was him needs to learn some grammar. I think it's the best country and people effectively is what he's trying to say there. Yeah, but it does not how it's ripped. I understand. I'm just saying. Okay. But right now we are terminally ill and headed towards collapse. This is not a terrorist attack. It was a wake up call. Now the fact that he specifically says it's not a terrorist attack. That's exactly what a terrorist attack would say. It literally. Yeah. I don't know. I didn't think it was because no one else was hurt. Seven other people were hurt. Who? People on the street. No, seven other people got hurt. I mean, it's an attack to inspire terror. I think that that counts as terrorist. That's what it is. That's terrorism. Yeah. I don't know. The first one I first heard about. I thought that's the wake somebody up. It feels literally anybody else. It would be a terrorist attack. Before I heard that, you know, it didn't get hurt or what I'm like, that's yeah. That's a wake up call. Oh, fine. I don't know what it was a wake up call for. Yeah. But it's like that was too contained to be a very idiot that couldn't, you know, confuse by law. Yeah. His manifesto makes no sense to me, especially with what he did. Yeah. This is not a terrorist attack. It was a wake up call. It was a wake up call. Pastin. Oh, he wrote it. Okay. Pastin. Never mind. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives? Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took. He had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, which is common with veterans and had no animosity towards the president elect. Right. So Trump. All right. He said, "Focus on strength and winning. Masculinity is good and men must be leaders. Strength is a deterrent and a fear is the product. Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse. And DEI is a cancer. Thankfully, we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real president instead of a weakened at Bernie's. So what I want to know is why if he has no animosity for the president elect? Did he blow up the thing outside of his building? Who is like, Trump's pardon me. And then park it outside of Trump's tower. Right. And blow it up. So that's what makes no sense to me. Why would you do it there? Why would you use that vehicle? I got it. I got it. Especially for Trump. He really believed this. And somebody else found out, took control, killed him and had it drive there in park when it's out and then blew it up. Well, I mean, must have unlock cyber trucks remotely. Or he can make them out of it. You'd have to know about the time of what's going on before. And I mean, there's millions of them. Would you know every single would you pay attention every single one until after it happened? No, but if you had your fall guy. Yep. I'm not a think it's somebody else. I don't think it's somebody else that's doing it. Anyways. So authorities say they found the definitive connection between him and the perpetrator of the New Orleans Bourbon Street massacre. No, no definitive connection. Yeah. Except they went to the same army base. And they served together overseas. And the same. That's what it said. And I mean, in the same area, because you could serve over there at the same time and not serve with somebody. I know. I do not think that they were necessarily friends or knew each other, but just in the same area. Same area. Anyways. So the, uh, he was just the FBI guy. No. Okay. Someone. It does not actually say this first and say. Anyways, it says the incident he said is a reminder to pay attention to what mental health in America looks like. And a reminder of the need to talk about these things. Okay. Nobody is. Nobody is. Nobody is paying attention. No. Well, no. And also this is this is what bothers me about this type of, we only hear about how mental health matters after something traumatic happens. Yeah. Like a school shooting or, you know, any of these things, like people with mental health issues are not murderers. Like murderers are murderers. And maybe they have mental health issues. But like, we can't, we can't blame this. I know every like, it's not all, it's not all mental. Like, it's really not mental health. You are, they say you're not. You're not supposed to know this stuff, but you are penalized. If you, if you seek therapy or you drive for some chemicals, dad couldn't get a pilot's license after he had taken an antidepressants after a divorce. Yeah. They would not give him his, I mean, there's probably other reasons too, but they would not give him his license. And that's when they cited. But I'm sure that's that thing. Because oh my gosh, what does she take a little sazena and run it into some time? Yeah. Yes. What are you going to do with a sazena to begin with? Not much. But yeah, it's like you are penalized. I mean, sometimes you can't have a firearm. You can't go ahead and anymore. You can't do a lot of things because you've seen a mental health professional. So why would people see it? Especially a military person? Yep. I don't know. I mean, this is messed up. It's like, if you have a heart attack, you don't get penalized for that. No, but if you get the press that we should talk about mental health more, I do think that our military and our veterans need more help, especially after they're finished serving and and during. But it's like, you know, the other thing you're penalized for, say you're you're a teenager, you don't really express your track commits suicide some way, right? Yeah. And you get sent to the hospital for it. When you are older, if you have a organ fail, you are automatically not allowed to be put on the list because you because you tried to commit suicide as a as a kid. Yeah. That's wild. That's because you are a risk factor. Yep. Good Lord. Yep. Okay. Anyways, on word more fall guys. All right. So we got another one. And then I have one that can very briefly touch on because I didn't really research that one. Okay. So the next one is the man who rented a, was it a truck? Yeah, it was a truck. And drove every people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. So his name was Shamsudden Bajar Jabbar. What a name. Right? That's why I was like, I can't remember his name because I knew it was like crazy. But before anybody's like, oh, it's an immigrant. He is from Texas. He was born there. Okay. Texas, you know, super egos, Texas is the best state in the whole country. Yada, yada, yada. Okay. I don't like Texas. Everybody's aware. I do like them. Anyways. Okay. So originally in this report, it said there was no similarities, right? And this one is as police in Las Vegas say they are exploring strange similarities. Okay. Between the Tesla cyber truck and the attack that killed 14 people in New Orleans. But the FBI says there is no definitive link. Despite apparent military connections. Okay. So hours after Matthew was found dead in his cyber truck, having injured seven people, Jabbar, uh, drove into people. Okay. Uh, he had served. They had both served at a military base, formerly known as Fort Bragg. Um, what's it known as? I don't know. Not Fort Bragg. I thought it was this. I thought it still was. Anyway, go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah. Anyways. So it says, though US officials say there's been no crossover in their duties, CBS News reported that both had been on tours of duty in Afghanistan at the same time. There you go. So which is it? It's a secret off to which make Manchurians. All right. So they, they said if these turn out to be simple similarities, very strange similarities to have, it seems like brainwashing. It's Fort Liberty. Yeah. Fort Liberty. Fort Liberty. Okay. So after this thing, they went and investigated his house and they found evidence of pipe bombs and religious stuff. They said that he is definitely an ISIS member. The thing is, though, here's the thing, they conveniently had what is it? The Quran that they read open to a specific page. Oh, yeah, I heard about this. Conveniently would incriminate him. Of course they did, right? Yeah. Anyone who is of that religion knows because I researched this too. It is disrespectful to leave your book open like that. So if he genuinely was part of this religion, part of this mindset, he would know to close it. That's true. So I do not believe that he was an ISIS member. I believe he was brainwashed at Fort Bragg as well as Matthew. Now, I don't know why. Well, I mean, the government has done secret experiments on people for a long time. I mean, there's a big history of them doing horrible things. Yeah. So I mean, wouldn't we call that a siop, though? Yeah, it would be a siop, but not the way they're using it. It's a different. It looks like the opposite of what they should want, I mean, in my opinion, but yeah. All right. So he did not have a manifesto per se, or if he did, I didn't find one, but he had videos. So I guess similar. He was originally planning to harm his family and friends, but was concerned that news headlines would not focus on the war between believers and disbelievers. It did not elaborate. Did we check the fingers on that? No. I didn't watch the video. All because I don't know what he means by believers and disbelievers, because it never elaborated on that. I'm sure you're supposed to assume it's Islamic belief. Right. Yeah. But I don't. I don't believe that's what he means. Like that's not admit, like immediately, that's not what comes to my head. No. So I don't know. They did say they found a Islamic state flag on the truck, which he used to ram people. Of course they did. Of course. I've watched that video. I didn't see this on it. It's so convenient that they find these things. Didn't look for that. So I mean, I don't know. But then they found the two homemade bombs planted on the streets. And they said they had surveillance footage of him planting them. And so they planted bombs and then he got in the truck and ran over people. And yes, were they set to go off or were they done? I does not say these are the types of questions that need to be asked and answered publicly. Yes. Calling you out. But they said that he was believed. Okay. Now why would they say that he was believed to have been honorably discharged? But you just look it up. That's literally I should be able to know. Yeah, you just look it up. Yeah. But no, but that by him and the cyber truck guy Matthew both rented their cars their vehicles through the same app. Terrible. Because ones in what New York or something like that in that way from Towers and the other ones in Louisiana. Yeah. Which is odd. I thought that was odd. No, I don't think I think it was Arizona. The Trump tower in Los Vegas or somewhere. I think it was. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's like it's yeah. That's far away. Yeah. Yeah, it was it was the biggest one. But uh, okay. So here's some some words about that Jabar said. He says, I've been here all my life with the exception of traveling for the military where I spent 10 years as human resources and IT specialist. He said he learned the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously. Dotting eyes and crossing tees to make sure sure things go off without a hitch. And yeah, if he's so responsible. Yeah. Why would he have two bombs? Yep. That did not go off. Why would he get caught doing anything? Yeah. Why would he just go and run over people? I would there be so many hitches. Yes. What? Like it doesn't make sense. What's like the guy that blew up the Tesla? He had explosive training. He could have really made a bomb. Yeah. I mean, he used firework. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't make sense. There was a quote from the husband of Jabar's former wife, Dwayne Marsh. Dwayne. No, say that again. Okay. Dwayne Marsh. The husband of Jabar's former wife. Okay. She remarried. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now Dwayne Marsh. It's not nice to call people crazy. He said he began to convert to Islam within the last year and was being all crazy. That sounds like a petty jealous ex-husband. Yeah. I take no stock in that statement. So yeah. So like I have like like full like times, well 55, 1241, the entire timeline of everything that they did on this. Okay. Like craziness. At one point, let me see if I can find where Elon responds to the stuff. Like he's like, he's like evil knuckleheads. But like they go over the links between the two. Yeah. You know, and like. Okay. The pipe bombs found in New Orleans. Investigators found pipe bombs with nails and suspected C4 explosives concealed inside an ice chest in New Orleans. The cooler was left near police patrol cars at the corner of Bourbon Street and New Orleans street. Near where the pick up truck attack took place. Another pipe bomb was found in a cooler, a block away. A third suspected device was discovered in a purple suitcase near the corner of North Rampart street in Esplanade Avenue. Investigators found a corresponding remote in the pickup truck. Which also just bombs just around Mason jars of liquid associated with explosives. Yeah. He just said bombs around ran over people didn't set the bomb off and then didn't send anything off. And then got shot by the police and left all of his doesn't make sense. Teas and crossed and eyes undotted. Yeah. There's another part in here where the police are discussing how many people they're going to have on the streets and how there are much. I'm a harder. How did they say that? Let me find this because I want to read this word for word. You know, I would think nowadays as much stuff has happened that when they're on patrol in these like areas, you would have a bomb sniffing dog with you. Like just a sniff out random bombs. Just I mean, just to be just to be safe. You never know. Yeah. But no, weed is more important. Gotta get the weed off the streets. Well, as we know, weed leads to like all the bad things. Yeah. Like eating too many Cheetos or sleeping in. Bad stuff. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Or being mellow. I think it's good to the point where a lot of these conspiracy theories are put out by the government just to discredit everything. Yeah. Because it's just so they can hide what they're doing in a conspiracy theory. I mean, they did that with like UFOs forever. But you're now the head to rename UAPs. It's like, God, people would be in sleep. You don't like unidentified aerial phenomenon? No, it's like, they just, they just want to try to make it legit when it's, I don't know. I'll let you tell you about what aerial loss all the other night. Okay. So he says we are going to have absolutely hundreds of officers and staff lining our streets, lining Bourbon Street, lining the French Quarter police said to protect the softer targets. What? What? Unarmed people. It's unarmed people. Why are we referred to as targets? If you don't expect something. Okay. So then why don't you have a bomb snuffing dog? Why don't you have several of them if you're expecting this? It's like, it's what I'm getting at. These are. What would they were? What would they expect to anything?'Cause it was New Year's Day. I guess people, I would think every year. There's also some people going down. There's some sleeping people. Yeah. Yeah. There's something going on like some game or some, there's something happening that day too. Yeah, but targets is a weird word to use there. I agree. It is a weird word to use there. Another one that they talked about was January 6th. There was like apparently some bombs or something like that planted and they think that it was Congresswoman. Was it Marjorie Taylor Green? Oh yeah. And there's a video of the person planting the bombs and she wears the same exact boots. She would though. The same exact boots. So I don't know. I don't know. I mean, she's extreme. I don't think she's that stupid. But I'm just saying that. I don't feel. Because she wouldn't be able to say where she's at and boys her opinions. They never found. This person planted the bombs. They never found them. Maybe they're just trying to discredit her. Not that they would, you know, it's. I don't think I need to do much to discredit. I know. I was going to say that. But I think you're right. But it's like, it's okay. We can say it. That is my conspiracy theories about the government. Yeah. Using fall guys. I think I think they do distract us from. Whatever. From what they're really trying to hide. Yeah. I mean, it's to the point right now and I know I'm maybe a bit extreme, but I'm not the only one that a disaster happened. And the government showed up and said, okay, we have the shelter over here. Come with me. No way. I'd be like, I am out of here. I will take my chances. Yeah. I write asphalt. No way. Yeah. It's like we're the government. We're here to help. I even Reagan said that. That was a scariest. Yeah. Absolutely not. Yeah. I take my chances in the hills. Yeah. That was a really good. That was a really good one. That was a good one. I went. I went way in depth with that one. I also have a lot of papers, but mine is a little bit more condensed, I guess. I do have some really cool stuff I was looking. Okay. So mine is on the dead internet theory. I don't know if anybody else has heard about this. I mean, I mentioned it a lot. It's pretty. Oh, did you? Yeah. Briefly. Very briefly. He didn't get into it. That was one of the things I was considering for the podcast up. Go ahead. Well, here we go then. That's great. I was looking up the top 10 best ones or something like that. And I was like, you know what? I can get behind this one. No, I almost talked about it. I'm glad you're talking about it. It's interesting. I need you to do the fires. Yeah. I just, that's a little in mind, though. Yeah, honestly. And also, it also just kind of, it just made me pretty angry. Like, I don't want to do this right now. I don't want to do this right now. So, okay, the dead internet theory first service on the Agora Roads Macintosh Cafe forum in 2021, when a user started a thread called dead internet theory, most of the internet is fake. They cited posts from major online discussion forums like Forchan and they claimed in their theory that non-human bots are responsible for almost all online activity and content creation. This is just like a really brief overview and then I'm going to dive in deeper. But so at the top level, the concept is that AI and chat bots automatically turn out social media posts designed to form clicks, comments and likes on platform platforms like Facebook and TikTok. They do this because more engagement leads to more advertising dollars. But the accounts responding to those automatic posts are always in turn a bots and AI agents that conspiracy claims. In other words, everything is happening between machines. No humans needed. If you go deeper down the rabbit hole, some dead internet proponents argue that government organizations use these bots to manipulate humans. I can see that. It's suggested that the internet really died in 2016 or 17, but we just didn't know. 2016, everybody died that year. Yep. That was whenever we fell off of the good timeline. I thought it was 2012. It's 16 somewhere in there. I mean, all the celebrities that Alan Rickman died that year. 2012 is when we hopped to a different timeline because of the LHC. If you remember correctly. Yeah, but I think this is a third timeline. I think this one's even worse. Oh, it's another one. We just keep branching. Personally, yeah. We're just hopping. Hopping. That's not good. Yeah. No, it's not. Yeah. So while I don't think everything is just everything on social media or the internet is only bots. I do think it is a problem. And so this goes on to say this theory does have a little kernel of truth at its core. Bots have been accounted for around half of all internet traffic. And I have the 2023 bad bot report, which is like, I think like 47 pages of like graphs and stuff, which is, I thought was pretty cool. Specifically, here's like good bot versus bad bot traffic. So let me see. Human share of traffic in 2022. This is from 2022. So 52% was human share of all traffic. 17% was good bot traffic. And then bad bot traffic was 30%. Now, what is good bot versus bad? That is a very good question. Yes. So sorry. All right. What is a bot? In the context of the internet, a bot is a software application that runs automated tasks. Such tasks can range from simple actions like filling out a form to a more complex task like scraping a website for data. And then what is a bad bot? A bad bot is a software application that runs automated tasks with malicious intent. They scraped data from sites without permission to reuse it and gain a competitive edge. So this means like pricing inventory levels, proprietary content. They are used for scalping, the active attaining limited availability items to resell at a higher price. They can be used to create distributed denial of services, service attacks, targeted auth at the network or the application. And then the truly nefarious ones undertake criminal activities such as fraud and outright theft. An example of this is bots that perform credential stuffing to take over user accounts, which is really prominent right now. And then the open web application security project provides a comprehensive list of 21 different bot attacks and its automated threat handbook. Let me see where are my bots. Is that a wasp you were just talking about? Oh yes, yeah. Yeah, a wasp. Let me see here. Well, okay, it doesn't really say what is okay. So not all bots are created equal. There are good bots on the internet too. Oh, here they are. I just didn't say. These serve useful functions such as indexing websites for search engines or monitoring website performance. For example, a search engine crawler such as Google bot and Bing bot help create and maintain a searchable index of web pages. Those bots help people match their queries with the most relevant sets of websites. And they are crucial for our line businesses because they ensure that their websites and their products or services can be easily found and reached by prospective customers. Yeah, you know what? I'm going to say it's like googling them. They're doing it wrong nowadays. All sucks. Guys have like help out of the searches. Nowadays it's terrible. Yeah, I just put like reddit after something to get anything that's not just a bunch of ads. It's awful. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, it makes me angry. This goes on to say even good bots can be cause for concern. Good bots can skew web analytics reports making some pages appear more popular than they actually are. For example, if you advertise on your website, good bots can generate an impression, but that ad click never converts into the sales funnel. This results in lower performance for advertisers. It can also lead to skewed marketing analytics and incorrect decision making based on them. So being able to intelligently distinguish between traffic generated by legitimate human users, good bots and bad bots is crucial for making informed business decisions. So that's kind of just there is a lot more that goes into this, but yeah, I'm not going to go through all 47 of those pages. So for anybody who I pick up this reading from Forbes. Forbes.com, and they are also talking about the dead internet theory, and they have a lot of examples like from Twitter, especially. And so I'm going to go through here a popular post on X Twitter comparing this sound of Kazak to a diesel engine, trying to start in winter currently sits at more than 24,000 likes and 2,000 reposts. And let me see there is, yeah, the tweet calling that out, it says whether the caption is relevant is difficult to say as the video was mistakenly uploaded with no audio, thus many users assumed bots were mindlessly liking the post, where there is a tweet here that says 20k likes on a video that doesn't have sound this website is so cooked. No, it's not good to be cooked like fried no butter. So there's also like there's all kinds of more. So this one here is another, this one is a screenshot of another tweet, and the person who tweeted the screenshot says it's genuinely impressive how cooked this website is. And the picture is of another tweet by the way tweeted by a check mark verified person. Water is in the ingredients, and it's literally a picture of blocks, like colored blocks. There's no water in this picture, not like at all. And then there's a website that is linked to watr.com. What is that website? I don't know. Water, it's everywhere, but somewhere you can go to to like, you know, get all of your information farmed, it's a radio station. Oh, it would be, yeah. W-A-T-R. W-A-K-R-P or something like this one. W-A-T-R radio, 1320 AM. Yeah. It's on Facebook. Wild. So let me see, then there's another X. It's like Twitter, except anytime you post your replies immediately start to fill up with scam accounts, spam, uh, spam accounts, spam accounts, and crypto bots pretending to be real accounts. They are immediately replied with another check mark verified profile. But have you heard the news about Bitcoin? But had you heard the news about Bitcoin? It's actually really, it's really high right now. Yep. I don't know how to point. I just gave me an image of like Elon Musk knocking on your door. Can you talk to you about our Lord and Savior Bitcoin? Actually, that's not true. I have like 0.001 Bitcoin, so that's pretty good. You're banking it. I know. I mean, I know people with like a Bitcoin half. They only created so much. Huh? They didn't, and then they only created so much Bitcoin. It's the down to like the tiny percentages of what people can get now. Yeah. Well, it's always being maybe there's a maximum number that you can have. I thought there was a maximum number. It's a reason there is one, but they are constantly mining to get more. So there's a maximum, like it's approaching asymptotically as well. I tell you, these these terms for this stuff is crazy because they're mining it. There's no such thing. You don't mind it. There's not there. You're just making it up. Yeah. I mean, there are issues. Yeah. It is just straight up fake, but there's issues with with Bitcoin, especially mining stuff and environmental concerns, in my opinion. But I've got other issues with Bitcoin. That's not the biggest one. I just think it's stupid. It's a cool idea that is stupid for this. It solves non-issues and it doesn't really solve the issues. It's supposed to solve very well. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not into it. Not into it. I like how he's like, I got more issues, but this is what I think, but actually, but wait, there's more. I have video issues with Bitcoin. This is just a scratch on the surface. I could do a whole of it. Yeah. It really is. Yes. So this one is a tweet that says all of the replies to big posts are unrelated clickbait spam. This has been the case for months. And this was tweeted on January 11th of last year. This person says, thought this was an edit, but LMAO, LMAO, I can't talk. And this makes no sense to me. I don't know what is actually going on here, but it's two screenshots of like Google ads. I guess like somebody was searching for furniture, but the titles of the furniture says, I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request. It goes against open AI use policy dash black. And it has a price for the furniture listed. And there's three separate things here. And I wasn't really sure what they were meaning by this, but I mean, thought this wasn't edit. I guess like they thought it was fake, but it really is something. I bet you it's supposed to be like, that's an I'm actually generated ad. And the LLM that they're using open AI or something, just like gift up and put random junk on there because it was not like a person. And then oh, yeah. Okay. And then followed immediately by, in case you were wondering whether any Amazon sellers are using GPT to program, there you go, programmatically generate product names and descriptions. I must have missed that one following it last night. That was my bad. And then we also have the AI apocalypse doesn't look like Terminator. It looks like societies being battered by waves of AI generated misinformation and jibrush until the sense of reality breaks down. And those societies drown in an ocean of AI generated nonsense. Let me see. I could see that happening. I'm sure I think, yeah, this is the last one. So this one, somebody tweeted, this is another verified account, tweeted a basically a picture of, I think it's, I think it's Tumblr. Maybe read it. I'm not entirely sure. And it says the person that posted the screenshot, the fake screenshot says exciting new developments. And it's literally just this post that says my sister got a book for Christmas on how to care for tarantulas alongside the tarantulas supplies. Like just basically talking about tarantulas. Like there's no exciting new developments. That should be terrifying new developments. Where's that? Here's a development about tarantulas. Did you know that they'll sometimes hang on to things with their fangs? I literally watched that video last night. With the guy had it. It was like hanging onto his skin. He's like, there's no venom being injected. She's just can't hold on to his hand. Because his hand wasn't grippy. Yeah. So she like just bit down on his hand. That's so cute. He healed her off. Oh, that would be that'd be a squashed. Or a shot. Yeah, I shoot it. I think that's how you deal with tarantulas. You have to shoot them. Yes. No, they're so cute and fuzzy. That's the problem. They got little paws. Just like puppies. Yeah, they're like little puppies. I did I did miss one final tweet. So this person says a new year long study found Google search really has gotten worse. And top ranking sites are quote on average more optimized, more monetized with affiliate marketing marketing. And they show signs of lower text quality and quote also evidence of AI generated top ranking results. And they list. Like a link to that. Somebody retweeted that and said we lit the library of Alexandria on fire. So four guys could make money. Yeah. Basically, that's yeah. I mean, pretty much like it's just a bunch of slop nowadays on the internet. And it's annoying. Yeah. So I don't think that everything is a bot. I mean, obviously, we are on social media. We had a good. But we're bots. Yes. But bots are a very real thing. And like, I mean, they are there. They're copying profiles and, you know, sitting Facebook requests. And I've seen pictures of people in groups saying like, this is in two separate posts. And the same list of people are saying the weirdly scripted same thing about Bitcoin. And it's like, yeah, we've got to stop. But I mean, it's not it's not going to. If you're on the internet guys, believe nothing. Yeah. And two, if you're looking at images or videos, count knuckles, count teeth, count fingers, elbows. They have multiple elbows. Sometimes and they just look wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this is actually it's like a thing, especially older generations just cannot tell the difference. And I don't understand why because when I see an AI generated thing, it's like pretty obvious usually. Yeah. Like right now, they're really it's kind of our eyes aren't very decent. But right now there is a video of an AI generated video of firefighters rescuing animals from the fires over in California. And like it looks fairly legit until you actually start seeing some of the animals the further and you go, like it just doesn't look right. And you're not entirely sure why until you really stop it and look at it. It's like, oh, nothing has an extra finger or and it's not like because it's moving, you can't really tell because it's constantly moving. So it's definitely something that is going to get harder and harder to identify. Yep. I figured out it was they were specifically rescuing a black panther kit in the day had found which I mean, I guess it could happen, but it was a baby rabbit when when they found whatever, I mean, it was like, that's a rabbit. I didn't fit around enough rabbit panther. It was a black rabbit, but it was a rabbit. And then later they showed you the panther cop where they'd like nourished it back to health. That's a rabbit. That's crazy. Yeah. So especially in this information age, like it's going to be really hard. And so some of the best and easiest ways to interact and combat in my opinion, but I've also seen listed in these is to not unless you know specifically that the person you're interacting with is them on their profile. Essentially, don't believe it until you can verify it yourself with your own actual eyes. Don't just don't. And this goes for a lot of the first hand accounts or my neighbor said this or I saw this, but somebody else was doing it. You know what I mean? It's really going to get worse from here. Even if the same amount of bots stays the same, it's still the same type of content. And they're going to get better at doing it. So yeah, eventually it's going to become indistinguishable. Like, I mean, there will be a point. Like, I mean, it's already pretty good. It's pulling a lot of people. If you do see this stuff, also just don't engage with it. Or if you do downvote it, just give it a bit. Yeah, I have also taken to reporting stuff. I mean, it's not going to get taken care of anymore, bud. That's okay, though, because on Facebook, they don't have fact checkers anymore. So one, don't even sure. Some of the fact checkers were actually well fact checkers people. I think it was I just on a because they didn't. Well, you can't you can't you literally cannot just fact check everything because there's too much stuff. You know, so there's some automation in it. And a lot of times it's just wrong. For it's based on like people's reporting stuff. That being said, like more important stuff, they should like probably be doing some fact checking for, especially since they've repost a bunch of stuff on Facebook and yeah, they're basically news. Facebook is basically news, and they they're just trying to cheap out basically right now. All the all the big companies are trying to cheap out though. Actually, did you guys hear speaking of this AI slot nonsense? The Zuck was talking about how he wants to put a bunch more AI bots on Facebook to like increase engagement. Like get more make it seem like there's more people on Facebook. So people will use it more. I know there's a strike that's one to go on where they you log out of any meta type stuff Facebook Instagram all that junk and Twitter the 19th through the 26th. I mean, I'm I'm game for that. I'll do it. It's like they're kind of affecting anything because I get on that stuff much at all. But anyway, if you don't see that you send me reels all the time. Don't even that's what we were doing because this is coming out in a few weeks. Yeah. Yeah, the live Zuck lied to you. He sends reels all the same. They said more on YouTube though. I wish I could send you guys the YouTube shorts. I see all the time easier, but I can't. Otherwise, I don't ever get on YouTube. I do. Well, we know you do. She's got those YouTube degrees. I do. I just go on YouTube and I watch a bunch of videos. I say about nonsense. I watched one about love them. About like the fake dinosaur footprint. What a fake person footprints with the dinosaurs that they found in Kentucky the other day. It was really good. Yeah. By Dan Olson. I found some new Dan Olson. He's great. I met him. So your dinosaur footprints recently. I think it was in the UK. I'm out to look into that. Yeah, I mean, it was like, oh, my gosh. Dump over my coffee. I made me nervous. It was in a quarry. And they had, I guess, like, removed some. And there was this like huge long path. And one of them was like an allosaurus. And then there was some, I came like long next, like the ploticas or something, but it wasn't that. It was something like that. I don't know how real this is because I didn't really look into it further. But while I was looking up pictures of dinosaurs for the dinosaur, hunt, I found an article and I forget where it was. But this farmer was trying to clear out brush or something like that. And he ended up finding these weird mounds. And he like started on digging them. And they were essentially huge, like huge armadillos. They were like four or five of them. I don't know how true it is. I need to go and try and find it again. But if that's true, that's really cool. Because they were all curled up and everything. I was like, I heard that song, the armadillos song. I don't know. Armadillos keep digging little holes in my back yard. Is that the guy who did the dirt man song? It sounds like something he'd write. I think so. I think it's the same guy. He's so funny. So funny. He cracks me up. Oh, I did finally see that. You know how you tried to send me that one, and I wouldn't load. I found it on Instagram later. Oh my God. He makes the funny. They're so funny. But his actual music is good too. He makes real music too. But yeah, I mean, basically this is all I had for the dead internet theory. It's a pretty simple theory. And it is easier to get behind because it really does happen. But I don't think it's to that extent yet where it's literally no human interaction. Give it five to ten more years. So it's going to be nine to ten pots. Yeah, especially with the way things are going. I don't know. It's just it's getting worse. We should just get rid of the internet. It was a fail. So you'll just be watching bot TV, right? Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Don't like it. And now we're all on the list, guys. Oh, yeah. That's a good mark. Wait until I tell about our excursion on Wednesday night. It was weird. It was really weird. We had just pulled across the cottageville bridge and I look off to my right and that it wasn't very high in the sky. No, but there was this really, really bright orange light to the point. Well, first it was just the first one. And then I was pointing it out to you. There was just a one. And I thought that's a really bright star because it didn't look like a light. It looked like fire. It did. Like something. Yeah. But it was very round. It's like a ball of fire essentially. And it was that color. And then slightly to the left. And they were almost touching, but it wasn't. Yeah, they were. There's two of them. Yeah, there was two. Another one came one. The same color. Yeah, because she pointed it out. She said, what is that? Yeah, over and I'm like, oh, yeah, I don't know what that is. And I slowed down and I was like, we're not getting abducted. And then the first one out. And the second one went out. And of course, I couldn't get my phone out of my purse. And I was like watching it. I was like watching driving. Yeah. Yeah. And then a little bit later, they showed up again. Yeah. And did the same thing went out. And then the other one out. And then we can see you again. Yeah. You guys got no pictures, no videos? Of course, not because the first time you was driving and she is incompetent. I tried on the second one, but it just it wasn't there long enough. The second time it was not there long at all. But it was the first time you're just like, oh my gosh, what is that? You don't, you know, yeah, it was weird. It was odd. That's kind of great. And I get slowed down to look at it because I'm like, there's a curve right after that bridge. I slowed down to look. And then so I was like, I ain't getting abducted. That was funny. That was funny. Yeah, that is funny. Oh my gosh. Stopping. Oh man. But it was I was I was ready if it had showed up a third time. But I didn't expect to show up a second time. I really did. It was kind of kind of kind of weird. That's crazy. Yeah. I was it was the thing the weirdest thing about it. It's like it was so orange. It was very nice. And it was so round, but it wasn't like it wasn't like there's put it off light like a no like a light bulb something. It was just a glow. I don't know. It was weird. It was weird. And she guys, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that. I know. Yeah, that would be definitely the kind of thing that I definitely would not want to see by myself. It was a good size. It was good. Yeah. It was weird. Like far out. How big. I don't think it was in the sky. It'd probably be about this round. Okay. Yeah. It's a star. Starflade. But it has crumbies. So I didn't want to flip it on. But it wasn't it wasn't that big in the sky. It was like looking at Venus or something. It was like really. Yeah. It was really bright. It wasn't bright like that. You would say it was about the size of what you would expect Venus to be. Uh-huh. Just size. Right. It's like a pinpoint. But it was bigger than that. No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. It wasn't as bigger than that. It was bigger than that. If you drew a circle, I want to try to say if you drew a circle around the light of Venus, you know, it's like, yes. Yeah. The whole thing. Yeah. That's just how big the glow was. But it wasn't. No, I had my glasses on. But it's it was just it wasn't a star. No, it was not a star. And it did not look like a plane or a helicopter or anything like that. Yeah. And my first thought was aliens obviously. But then I was like, maybe it's one of those drones. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But the lights were really weird to be. It was, I mean, it could have been, I guess it could be, but it just didn't look like it. It didn't look like an electrical light. And it was moving. Yes. It was moving. It wasn't just staying in the sky. It was moving slowly. It wasn't. Yeah. It wasn't fast. It was it was, but it was traveling, especially with only one light. And then it's like another one. Yeah. And then done. Yeah. No, we're weird. It was weird. Yeah. I mean, and me, we were things one more together. Yeah. Anyways. Yeah. I tell her we needed to stop hanging out. After this one, yeah, she was a little bit unnerved. Yeah. Yeah. You guys still keep hanging out. You just got to get video evidence of this stuff so we can see it. If I was not driving, I could have, but I was driving. Yeah. Because I'm much faster. Yeah. And well, I had to dig out my phone. And she can't remember. She had to push a certain thing. She didn't hold my thumb down. And it wasn't holding it long enough. It's like. Just just Ariel. Show her that you can just like double tap the thing. And then it opens up the camera. Just show her a pixel, right? Yeah. We can make that short cut for you. Yeah. I think it's by default. If you double tap the power button, it opens up the camera immediately. I wouldn't have failed the power button anyway. I think it was set mine to be fine. I was too busy watching it. I didn't want to miss it to take a picture. Yeah. So. This is why it's a designated reporter. No, I'm not. Oh gosh. Well, I was on the phone. Like, I was using my phone. I was on the phone. Yeah. You could have just turned it around like, click. No, I would have pulled my camera. You don't want me to drive it and doing this at the same time. I mean, I can do it. Well, there was a traffic. I don't think you would allow it. That wasn't a traffic. You could have stopped, but now it was weird. I mean, it happened. But you get abducted. It happened so fast, too. I mean, it wasn't like it was. I was seconds between, yeah. You know, it wasn't like there was a minute. You were just standing there watching it or something. Yeah, I was on the phone. I was like, what is that? And I hear my ear. What are you seeing? It's kind of on me. That is funny. But that was Wednesday. Yeah. It was weird. That was really weird. Yeah. Thanks. That's too loud to do stuff like that here. Yeah. And you know, I hadn't thought about it until you brought back up. That's what happens. People like to just shut it down. And then they, we can't do this. They don't talk about it for years. It's like they experience something and then they never comes up. And I'm not that person. I can't deal with aliens at night. That's not even a subject we can discuss. When the sun goes down. Nope. Nope. Nope. So my brand was like, I didn't think it was scary though. I didn't. I wasn't scared. That's the thing. I wasn't scared. I just was like, that's really weird. Yeah. Yeah. But I didn't also didn't get a feeling like, oh, that's something to be, it was just like, of course, that's how people had killed it. And, oh, what's that? Let's go look. And it's like, yeah. What's that noise? And then it eats you. Yeah. You will not catch me outside if there's a noise out there. I'd be like, nope. You have fun. You know what? When we were kids, she saw something outside and they all went outside and I was like, not happening. No. You remember that? I'll vaguely. I don't know. Yeah. No way. I was like, y'all get abducted on your time. That's right. Yeah. I'm in here. See, I'll be terrified. But I'll still go do it because I just got to know, you know? That's how I feel. No. No. No. I'd rather survive. Thank you. Not really. I would do, like, Bigfoot investigation. Okay. Ghosts. All right. I mean, I've stayed in a mountain till twice three times something. I would rather do Bigfoot than Ghosts. It's all a big note for me. Are you going to just get your pot and bang it and say, like, yeah, here. Go now. Well, when are we doing our podcast with Danny, where we go to the, uh, we need to do that. We need to do that. Oh, we haven't. I forgot about that. Yeah. Probably that's what I'd like out of my mind. That's the next podcast road trip. I mean, I'll go if I have somebody who, like, you're, you're ready to defend them off. I'm just like, I'm going to wear sage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just gonna get one of those salt guys. Yeah. Just going to wear a holy water shelf and armor and crystals, like some, some totally crystals. I'm like, what are you doing? I'm like, this is my cowbell. This is how you cleanse the, cleanse the air. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yep. Well, that's it. That's the next podcast road trip. Yep. I'd be like yellow and say, yeah, literally. Funny, funny. All right. Well, do we have any other final thoughts and input? Don't believe the government? Ever. Especially if they're there to help. In government, go ahead, put me on list. I've been on the list. I'm sure I'm on a few others. All right. As ridiculous. She is on this one too. Yep. Bingo. Yeah, your FBI guys, like, I did it. She's done it. How do I? Oh my gosh. It's my memory. His the other day on Facebook was. I've really noticed my FBI guy missing. This was during 2020. Like, I've been able to talk about stuff and stuff will randomly pop up. I miss you, FBI guys. Well, now we're losing our Chinese spies. So you just, there's nobody. What's the point that being online anymore? One thing. I got another people's phones. Yeah. Yeah. God. Okay. Our next couple of episodes, because Snowsox, we moved author JD Burn to our next episode. We will be discussing his book more hollow, and then we will be discussing Ariel's nonfiction pick, Melania. Then we're going to do, have we done a book chat yet? No. Okay. We haven't. Our first book chat of the year. It seems like it's been way too long, but it's fine. And then we're going to do Carla's deep dive pick, which hasn't been picked yet. We have plenty of time. We're fine. Yeah. Thank goodness. Yes. Don't make it nonfiction. You want me to pick the park ranger one? I don't, park ranger one. And the cryptids. Oh yeah. Also, if it's got cryptids, it's part, it's, it's fiction. You're fine. We hope you enjoyed today's episode. It's time for us to sign off. But before we go, only the best libraries have librarians who don't show you. But where can foil hats? Yeah.[Music][Music][BLANK_AUDIO]
