[00:11] Cocaine salmon, bigfoot mascots in Ohio, missing scientists, we got it all going on today. We're going to have a fun Thursday. Guess what? If you give salmon cocaine, they swim faster. Yeah, that's right, we have a new study out today. CBS News, salmon exposed to cocaine swim almost twice as far as those without. Who would have guessed that? Salmon exposed to cocaine in the water swim longer distances than those that go without, according to a study released this week. Cocaine use is on the rise worldwide, and I guess amongst the salmon population as well, with the UN reporting an estimated 25 million people used using the stimulant in 2023 and the drug being increasingly found in waterways. It's also raining cocaine right now in like LA. We went over that story sometime last year. It is raining cocaine. It is raining antidepressants. It is raining birth control. It's in the water supply. It's going up. It's coming down. Everything is great. And don't even get me started on what they've been doing to salmon over the past three decades. They've been splicing it with like this slug that they find in the bottom of the ocean because they think it's going to help make the salmon bigger. They're injecting it with all sorts of weird dyes to make it look pink. Go look at the store. I stopped eating salmon a long time ago. It doesn't really matter though, I think. I think everything has got some sort of weird stuff in it, but salmon really started to gross me out when I looked into what the FDA had approved back in the 90s with the stuff they were doing with splicing it with these slugs and making them bigger. And also a lot of the weird bioengineered salmon that's been in salmon farms, they keep getting out of their cages and then breeding with the wild, quote unquote, wild salmon. I don't even think wild salmon exists anymore. Wild salmon, however, does have a new like definition now. If you think about how much salmon might be on cocaine, along with the sharks that are also on cocaine. That's what they're saying. Spring break sharks are on cocaine. It's the Queens of the Stone Age song. Joint research released Monday by scientists at Australia's Griffith University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences studied how the drug affected the movements of wild fish in their natural habitats. I know there's a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world, but this to me is really fun. This is a good Thursday story. We've had, we've had, we've gone over dolphins on acid thanks to NASA in Florida. We've had cocaine sharks, which may or may not be big dolphin propaganda. And now we have this, cocaine salmon. Amidst all the other stories going on in the world, as if there wasn't enough going on, now we've got some, didn't we stop this? Didn't DOGE get rid of these kind of programs? I guess it's in Australia, but that doesn't mean we weren't funding it still. We were also funding like trans mice in Afghanistan. So maybe there was some taxpayer money going. This seems like something that would be funded by American tax dollars. Go to Australia and give that salmon cocaine. Give it the good stuff, not the fentanyl stuff that we get across the border that we're giving all the people that we don't care if they die or not. Give the salmon the good cocaine. As researchers took 105 wild Atlantic salmon in Sweden's Lake Vättern, and exposed them to both cocaine and benzo glycoc... Benzolecogonin, I don't even know. I did say that almost correctly. A metabolite created by the drug in the liver and then tracked their movements. They found the river dwellers exposed to the drugs traveled 1.9 times farther per week than their clean living control cousins. So we might have a future where organic salmon, organic wild salmon might have organic cocaine in it. That's how we get it faster. When your children ask you how the salmon get to the supermarket, cocaine, don't say that. Those exposed to the by-product also swam 7.6 miles farther. An unnatural change in animal behavior is a concern, report co-author Marcus Michelangeli from the Griffith University. He told the broadcaster at ABC, We're finding higher and higher concentrations. I mean, I guess no pun intended. We're finding higher and higher concentrations of not just illicit drugs, but all types of pharmaceuticals in our waterways. Researchers have warned the pollution of waters by common drugs poses a major and escalating risk to biodiversity. Let's read that one more time. Researchers have warned, the pollution of waters by common drugs poses a major and escalating risk to biodiversity. Welcome to the future of the narrative around climate change. I believe climate change is actually a manmade thing, but I believe in the fake cloud machine people from the tech world who are creating all these issues. I don't believe in the AOC, the climate alarmist, the sunrise movement, tell your children you have 12 years left to live type of cult when it comes to the story around climate change. But we are doing something. I do believe. Look at what happened in Saudi Arabia that had the flooding from the manmade rain. But now, in the not so distant future, which we've already covered these stories last year, it's raining drugs. It's literally raining drugs. The water supply has so much pharmaceuticals and like birth control in the water. Oh boy. This is why they say this is a major and escalating risk to biodiversity. It's obviously going to affect the animals. More from this quote. The idea of cocaine affecting fish might seem surprising, but the reality is that wildlife is already being exposed to a wide range of human-derived drugs every day. The unusual part is not the experiment. It's what's already happening in our waterways. So don't get mad at us, the scientists, that we're just doing what you are already doing to the salmon. You've already given the salmon the cocaine Scarface. That'd be a funny picture. Someone wants to make that like the Scarface poster, but take out Al Pacino and put in a salmon. Associate Professor Michael Bertram at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences said the study showed the need for improving a wastewater treatment and monitoring. Also, think of the story recently we were going over, about all the poop that's in the Potomac going into DC. A wonderful metaphor for the state of politics in America in 2026. But guess what? A separate study released last month, and you guys know this already because you're tuning to the show, found that sharks in the Bahamas are consuming substances including caffeine, painkillers, and cocaine. How does that Queen's of Stone Age song go? Nicotine, marijuana, it's like a song of the summer or something. He just repeats drugs. While the detection of cocaine and an illicit substance tends to draw immediate attention, the widespread presence of caffeine and pharmaceuticals in the blood of many analyzed sharks is equally alarming. The lead author of this story told CBS News, These are legal substances routinely consumed and often overlooked, yet their environmental footprint is clearly detectable. They're not all legal. It's a silly little paragraph there. I don't know, maybe they're legal. Is cocaine legal in the Bahamas? Do we have anyone listening tuning in from the Bahamas? In another study from 2024, scientists reported that sharks in the waters off Brazil tested positive for cocaine and benzo-like-a-ganine. Like-a-ganine. That must be Swedish. And now there's an ad for... That's the end of the story. But the end of the story, there's an ad for a robot lawnmower, which you should not be using. I like mowing the lawn. I like being out there thinking, listening to music. You shouldn't be listening to music on ear buds or Apple, the wireless stuff. I'm really trying to not use them. I have for years, I've had the Apple ear buds, not like the little ones, because I have like mutant ears that don't these don't fit too well in. But there's that new report out about how they filed a patent, Apple filed a patent for their ear buds to be monitoring your brainwaves and sending them back. Maybe we'll get into that later. Maybe not. I want to talk about Bigfoot today. And we'll talk about The Missing Scientist a little more, because there's like new news about it. But you know my take on it. Whatever is happening, it's extremely upsetting and very sad that people are losing their lives. Whether to suicide, whether they're being manipulated into killing themselves, whether they're being killed, you know, it's extremely, extremely disturbing, and I don't like it. But I wanted to talk about cocaine salmon first. And I guess robot lawnmowers. Do you have a robot lawnmower? Would you consider using a robot lawnmower? This one says it will mow up to 1.73 acres per day. That's not a whole lot. Experience maximum mowing power. Imagine this is my sponsor. I tell you to like to shoot robots on site. Meanwhile, I cut to a robot lawnmower. Experience maximum mowing power. Master huge properties with up to 1.73 acres of automatic reliable coverage per day. Effortless perfection. No, no. It's also worth noting here from biologyinsights.com. They asked the question, the very important question that most of you, I'm sure, asked yourselves. Can animals become addicted to drugs? Yes, they said in August 17th, 2025. Animals can become addicted to drugs. This is supported by scientific research and to their behavioral and neurological responses to psychoactive substances. Understanding how addiction manifests in animal health provides insights into the universal aspects of this complex condition. Addiction in animals is identified through observable behaviors and psychological changes mirroring those seen in humans. Scientists define animal addiction using criteria such as repeated drug self-administration, escalating, it's like a raccoon just shooting up, I guess, escalating intake and the development of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Tolerance is the need for larger doses to achieve the same effect, while withdrawal symptoms are negative physical or psychological effects occurring when drug use stops. Animals can be trained to self-administer drugs. I'm sorry, what? Demonstrating compulsive drug-seeking behavior that often overrides other natural rewards. For example, rats given access to morphine or heroin learn to self-inject. This is not good. If the drug supply is diluted, they increase injection frequency. If stopped, they display abnormal behaviors and withdrawal. Scientists also observe resistance to extinction where animals seek the drug even when unavailable. Wow. The brain's reward system plays a central role in the animal addiction similar to humans. This pathway connects the ventral tegmental area, although otherwise known as a VTA, to the nucleus accumbens. It's dopamine activation is associated with motivation, desire for rewarding stimuli and reinforcement learnings. You know they've got animals hooked up to like social media somehow. I bet I can just search that probably nothing. Are there experiments with animals using social media? It just be a picture of us. It's just a picture of us. Let's see what comes up. Teach animals to interact with devices and post on social media. There are people doing that. They're observing how animals respond to stimuli presented on the screens. There is content creation in these experiments that allows animals to create content through automated systems like paw presses. Engagement metrics, measure likes, shares, and comments on animal generated posts. What? Analyze how animals react to other animals' posts or videos. Why does any of this exist? This needs to be stopped. And just before we move on, there is a Wikipedia page, a Wikipedia page for recreational drug use in animals. Several non-human animal species are said to engage in apparent recreational drug use. That is, the intentional ingestion of psychoactive substances in their environment for pleasure, though claims of such behavior in the wild are often controversial. This is distinct from, come on now with these words today, zoofarmacognosy, zoofarmacognosy, zoofarmacognosy, in which animals ingest or topically apply non-food substances for their health benefits as a form of self-medication. Very ma-ha of these animals. Species that have been reported to consume alcohol in the wild include bohemian waxwings, fruit bats, tree shrews, and bees. Though there is no evidence that these species consume alcohol preferentially, anecdotal reports of drunken animals in the wild include moose, parrots, orangutans, and a badger. There was that story last year, towards the end of last year, was it a drunken raccoon making the headlines? In terms of birds, we have the cedar waxwing, bohemian waxwing, and the common starling, all frequently studied species when examining the effects of alcohol consumption in birds. Cedar waxwings have been observed flying while intoxicated by alcohol from overwintered hawthorn palms, resulting in crashes that lead to their deaths. For mammals, we have these alcoholics, which can be first appeared, they're saying it first appeared in hominids, alcohol enzymes first appeared in hominids around 10 million years ago. But if you listened to yesterday's episode, you know how I feel about that. Common chimpanzees have been observed eating overripe breadfruit and sharing it with fellow members of their troop. While the observed fermented fruits contained anywhere from 0.01 to 0.61 ABV, chimps mostly eat fruit, and the effect is likely noticeable, but not enough to bring them to inebriation, which would put them at a greater risk of predation or bodily injury. All right. We also have the vervet monkeys in the Caribbean, particularly teenage individuals exhibited preference for alcoholic beverages. We have elephants. There are South African legends recorded as early as 1830s by naturalist called Duf Delagorgue, that's a good name. Delagorgue, D-E-L-E-G-O-R-G-U-E. He described elephants seeking out fermented fruit from the marula tree and showing signs of intoxication. We have here that in 2010, a study showed from the University of Haifa, that bees prefer nectar containing nicotine and caffeine over that without the suggested that this preference... Oh, I'm sorry. I got to reread that... .reported that bees prefer nectar containing nicotine and caffeine over that without. Okay. And suggested that this preference may be part of the reward system driving the mutualistic feeding behavior. That makes sense. They're hard working. They need a little bit of nicotine and caffeine. Give it to them. Cats, we know cats like to get high. I mean, that's not a surprise. Here we go. Dolphins. You know it. It's not just acids. I forgot about this as well. In 1995, the marine biologist Lisa Steiner reported that a group of rough toothed dolphins near the Azores were pushing around inflated puffer fish and behaving lethargically. Puffer fish defensively excrete tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin. Why did I choose to read any of these words today? That is a Mars Volta song, which might have been having an intoxicating effect on the dolphins. We know they're addicted to acid thanks to NASA. This behavior was also reported in the 2014 BBC documentary, Spy in the Pod, about dolphins. You will remember that there was an early movie being made about a dolphin manturing candidate, post acid dolphins. And it seems they seemed to believe that this puffer fish was creating a numbness or tingling light hardness in small doses to the dolphins. Lemurs, gently biting toxic millipedes, which causes them to salivate and then rubbing their saliva and the millipede secretions on their fur, getting them high. And lastly, at least for this section, the wallabies in Tasmania had been reported repeatedly, repeatedly entering commercial poppy fields, consuming the plants and showing signs of intoxication. Well, that's not very surprising, is it? So speaking of animals that are crazy, that make no sense, that get high, that might be a hallucination. This is from last week in Popular Mechanics, why the FBI secretly investigated Bigfoot and the brutal truth they found. Bigfoot's been in the news a bunch recently. You might remember in Ohio, there was a rash of Bigfoot sightings, like seven in a few days. No new, new updates on that. I've been looking, but there was a lot of headlines about Bigfoot. I thought we were getting some Bigfoot disclosure any day, but then the UFO thing really took over. But there were many headlines about people all over Ohio claiming to have seen Bigfoot. We even had that wonderful caller who called in from Ohio, who is not too far from the area where a lot of these Bigfeet were seen. It's not Bigfoot. It's Bigfoot. I love the idea. You guys were right. Bigfoot should be plural. That's how we say it plural. Bigfoot singular, Bigfoot plural. The FBI's FOIA vault features a revealing 22-page Bigfoot file documenting 1976 to 1977 exchanges prompted by media coverage of alleged Sasquatch evidence. Oregon's Bigfoot Information Center sent 15 hares on skin to the FBI. After press attention, the FBI's lab agreed to test the sample. The FBI concluded the hares were from the Deere family, not Bigfoot, but devotees believe more files may exist. The FBI's vault is a fascinating corner of the Internet and a fantastic waste of time is what the popular mechanics say. That's not me, because I do enjoy going through it. I don't think it's a waste of time. It's a ton of really interesting stuff on there. You have to take it and believe everything on there. Clearly, it's the FBI, but it's interesting to see what they have in their files, and what they let us see. The Bureau's Freedom of Information Act, that is otherwise known as a FOIA, and it's in their library. It houses thousands of previously sealed or long-buried files on very famous and very dead celebrities, criminals, politicians, and other persons of interest, and they're all on display for free public perusal, which is how you suddenly find yourself scrutinizing reports on everyone from Al Capone and Nicole Smith for three hours, one afternoon, no judging, says the writer of this article. I'm telling you, we're going to get some Jimmy Hoffa news soon, or the Amelia Earhart story died down, but that was getting big towards the end of last year too. Maybe November, December, I forget when that was. But they're like, we're going to go search for her plane. There was a private company looking for her plane. They said they found it and just disappeared. That story kind of disappeared, faded the background. Clearly, they got bigger things now. They're trying to get all of the things in order now. It seems like every single conspiratorial thought has now entered the zeitgeist and we're getting headlines about it all the time, which is fun for me, fun for you guys. But what's it all amounting to? Where are we heading? What new thing do they need? All of us on board. Part of my theory with the scientists, we'll get to more of that in a minute, but while we're talking about all of this and doing a little macro view, it seems like they want us to get so much confirmation bias with conspiracy theories from the sources that a lot of us don't believe anymore. And that goes for corporate media and that goes for independent media. It's everybody. And they want everyone to be talking conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory, confirmation bias, confirmation bias, that when the real new big false flag type scenario happens, we buy into it because they've been feeding us confirmation bias for like a year or two now. It's very weird. I think they're weaponizing conspiracy theories against the conspiracy theorists because we are the last obstacle to the fake future. They're trying, they're designing right now before our very eyes, which they've been creating in a lab somewhere, brainstorming like a think tank for quite some time. But now they're rolling it out. It's a soft launch. And all of these headlines to me seem to be culminating to that, getting all of us on board to believe everything, whether it's a fake alien invasion, who knows what. Back to Bigfoot. Now, the FBI usually doesn't make such documents like until after the person dies, which makes one such release from the Vault 22 glorious pages concerning a creature called Bigfoot, as if you already didn't know, particularly notable for two reasons. It appears to be a confirmation that A, Bigfoot is dead and B, Bigfoot was real. Probably. That's what the article says. The mythical creature known as Bigfoot, or if you prefer Sasquatch. You guys, I think this crowd is more of a Sasquatch crowd. I do like Bigfoot, but Sasquatch is a great one. Other people, according to this article, say Yowie, Skunk Ape, or Yayali. They don't like those. Those are outdated terms. Okay. It has a long murky history. This Bigfoot, this Sasquatch. People swear they've seen him for centuries, usually in the woods of North America, and often in the Pacific Northwest. And the part hairy ape, part hairy human, part hairy bear thing has inspired such fervor among Hispanics that the fiercest devotees have even given the government involved in their pursuit of the truth. Bigfoot's official file, which we gleefully examined in full, like the proud investigative journalists we are, mostly follows the correspondence between the Bigfoot Information Center and Exhibition. And the Dow's Oregon, I hope I said that right, D-A-L-L-E-S, if you're from Oregon, you'll let me know. And the FBI Scientific and Technical Services Division from 76 to 77. Don't even say it. If you have kids, you know what that, you know where I'm going. This is one of those messages back and forth here. I'll read it for you. Let me get to the top. Will you kindly to set the record straight once and for all, inform us if the FBI has examined hair, which might be that of a Bigfoot. When this took place, if it did take place, what the results of the analysis were. Please understand that our research here is serious, that this is a serious question that needs answering, and that an examination of hair or the opposite by the FBI does not in any way, as far as we are concerned, suggest that the FBI is associated with our project or confirms in any way the possibility of the existence of the creatures known as Bigfoot. Yours very truly, Peter Byrne, Director of the BIC, the Bigfoot Center. It's a really well-crafted message to the FBI. Very must have had help from an attorney or someone, knowing how we could hopefully get them on our side here. And the FBI says, we do not often come across hair, which we are able to identify in the hair that we have now. About 15 hairs attached to a tiny piece of skin is the first that we have obtained in six years, which we feel may be of importance. And they showed an image of the hair. It's about five inches long cluster of hair, clump of hair. It's like, it looks like, it's a copy of an image of the hair. It's not like a photograph of the hair. It's like when you put your hand on the copy machine for those who worked in offices for quite some time. In a letter back to Byrne, the FBI admitted to its lab primarily conducts exams for law enforcement agencies in connection with criminal investigations, but eventually agreed to inspect the hairs for several newspapers, including the New York Times and Washington Star News, brought light to Bigfoot's possible existence. Here's a headline from the New York Times. Is it Bigfoot or can it be just a hoax? Doesn't say when this is from. It's a great headline. I'm just looking at a scan of the headline with like a woodcut image to go with it. There's only one paragraph with this. Looks like a much longer article from the Times. It starts like this. Within the vast forest wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, there may live a species of shy, furry, manlike creatures, perhaps. I can't even make that word out. Perhaps. Hmm. Declining survivors from a time before modern man evolved. This is like a old photocopy of this article, so I can't kind of make it out. This isn't one of those times where I just can't pronounce a word. It just, I literally can't read whatever that word is. You know, I let you know when I can't pronounce something. You guys will immediately know. And that's all I can see of that article. It's too bad. Looks pretty cool. I'm sure I could find that later. Eventually, after several months of follow ups, which are documented in the file, the FBI delivered the results of the test to both Byrne and the organization that supported his research, the Academy of Applied Science. Sadly, Bigfoot was a bust. It was concluded that as a result of these examinations, the hairs are of dear family origin, the FBI wrote, crushing the dreams of Bigfoot believers everywhere. Do you believe it? Do you think they tell the truth? Or they were like, guys, we found Bigfoot. Do not tell the Bigfoot people in Oregon that we found Bigfoot, because that's just going to cause a whole thing. There's all these headlines. They'll just pull it. We're the authority. We do this. We tested it. It's dear. Okay. It was Bambi. It was not Harry and the Hendersons. It was Bambi. Go about your business. Have fun. Thanks for reaching out. Don't hit us up again ever. Or they actually found it and they actually found it. And they're like, now, remember that guy who called the show on who's been around for this for a while? But we had a guy call into the show who said he worked for a clandestine organization from the Pentagon that went out and hunted monsters. And I'll be honest, you saw us, we didn't really believe it. I, it seems a little too on the nose. It was interesting though. The really interesting part was that about a week or two later, the New York Post wrote a story saying, breaking news, there's a clandestine organization from the Pentagon that's sending these soldiers to hunt monsters. I was like, is this guy, was he part of the Psyop to kind of get shows like this on board with a narrative to turn me into like a Operation Mockingbird thing against my will? I don't know. You got to think about those things when you're doing shows, when you're just talking to anybody. What is this information? Where is it coming from? Do I believe it? And what is it going to amount to? And then we got The Post doing a whole thing. 30 minute video about it, large article, and that went nowhere. You know, something like that, you think like in the 90s, early 2000s, that would have been like major news that people talked about for quite some time. These things just come and go these days. Come and go, it's distortion. That's the other side of this story. We're talking about conspiracy theories, mainstreaming, UFOs being less taboo, the missing scientists, Trump talking about aliens. It's also a form of distraction. It's also a form of flooding the zone. It's also making sure you are feeling so insane with the news that if you talk about it publicly, you do sound schizophrenic, and it might make you want to tap out, or it might make you become obsessive. And a lot of people become very emotional about this stuff. People are so married to so many things of the past, so many false narratives that they get really upset. It's my whole situation with like questioning the moon, people freaking out, people freak out if you don't believe in the ghost murmur technology. AI, don't become so emotionally invested in anything like this. You should become emotionally invested in God and your family and making yourself your best version of yourself. You know, don't become obsessed with this stuff. I think that's part of their plan is to turn you into a crazy obsessive and not someone who understands as best we can the narrative at work. You know, like so many people were plugged in and sharpened during lockdowns and able to subvert the narrative using the internet, using different social media platforms, if you weren't kicked off forever, to help literally save lives by sharing misinformation that if someone read it, and that person who read it might have had some underlying issue, what they were calling in those days the comorbidities. If you had the potential to having a comorbidity, whether it was like another health issue that you've had or obesity, or something like that, a lowered immune system, and you took those death shots, that could have killed you immediately. And people sharing this information, if they were able to work around the sensors, were saving lives. So we honed that ability to subvert a big machine during lockdowns. And that came at a pretty high cost for a lot of people, whether it was just being censored offline, which stunk because a lot of people lost their livelihoods. There were people making a lot of money on Facebook, I guess, and Instagram. I don't even know how they do that, honestly. But they lost their platforms, and that's terrible. And that's thanks to Zuckerberg being confronted by the administration, by the Biden administration, and say, hey, these people are dangerous. Take them out, censor them, whatever. Sure, no problem. Give me lots of money. And then I'll be invited to Trump's parties even though I help censor all his base and all that stuff. It's disgusting behavior. But it's all so that we learned and honed our skills of subversion, of the false narrative around that time. But the tech people and the government also learned how we reacted to it and are now, I think, weaponizing the system against us that we were able to subvert. If that makes any sense, you let me know if that makes sense. I'll continue to sharpen this idea, but I feel pretty confident that that is part of what's going on. Back to the article. In the meantime, we'll keep searching and hold out hope that the FBI finally releases the Loch Ness Monster's file to keep us occupied until then. Ha ha ha, popular mechanics. Ridiculous. So we had to get into this. More cryptid news on this lovely day. From 614now.com, this is a local Ohio website. Bigfoot, Mothman, bipartisan bill set to name official Ohio cryptid. That's right. Ohio, if you're an Ohioan, you are more likely to be abducted, they say. You've been seeing Bigfoot, perhaps. And now there's a bill that might name your official state cryptid. A proposed bipartisan bill may yet immortalize a certain frogman myth and legend. House Bill 821, introduced by state rep Tristan Rader, a Democrat, and Gene Schmidt, a Republican. Look at this. Like it said, a bipartisan bill aims to designate the loveland frog as Ohio's official state cryptid. There's a press release. We'll look at it. The loveland frog or frogman. I like frog. Frogman is great. Has been a mainstay in Ohio folklore since its first sighting on the banks of the Little Miami River near Loveland, Ohio in 1955. If you're from Ohio and you know about frogman, let us know in the comments below. What is up with frogman? Are you a believer? Do you know anyone who's seen frogman? What is up? Is it a frog that drank some radiated river water and turned into a mutant? What is up? The humanoid cryptid is described in the bill as a frog-like bipedal creature standing at approximately four feet tall. This bill is about showcasing our communities, said a writer in the release. The Loveland frog is uniquely Ohio. It reflects the stories we tell, the places we're proud of, and the creativity that makes our state worth celebrating. The bill points to the books, documentaries, local festivals, artwork, merchandise, local tourism, encrypted enthusiasts, and researchers that the Loveland frog has inspired, as well as its contribution to the local economy, creative culture, and unique cultural identity, and oral history of this state. Ohio. Since 2023, Loveland, Ohio has embraced the creature as its city mascot, hosting a yearly Frogman festival, complete with themed art, merch, and specialty exhibits, and a return of the Frogman festival held only on leap years. Oh, that's good. That's good. You got to admit, that's hilarious. Who thought of that? Whoever thought of that is a genius. That is a great joke that they actually do. It's held, the Frogman Party Festival is held only on leap years. Are you kidding me? I love Ohio. Despite a lot of the bad things I've seen in Ohio, I think it's a great state, and it's featured in my new book, Good Villains, in a few chapters, which is available for pre-order now. You might see it right here behind me. Boom. Stoked on that. But I spent a lot of time in Ohio for portions of this book. For reasons that were ugly and dark, but also as I was traveling throughout the state, being like, it's so beautiful. It's like how I feel about New Jersey. I know I'm like a stuck up New Yorker, and we have this weird beef with New Jersey, but there are parts of New Jersey that are really beautiful, despite the parts that... I feel like people only see in entertainment, the more urban type portions of New Jersey or what was in the Sopranos, but there is a wonderful country in New Jersey, wonderful country in Ohio, obviously. That's not a surprise. But yeah, there was a press release for that. It's on the Ohio House of Representatives official website. This is the kind of news that's amazing. This is fun, positive news amidst all the chaos. We need it. We need it. And pretty much I quoted most of it. But it is great that there's a press release with smiling politicians on an official website, official.gov website for The Frog Man, Bill HBA21. It has bipartisan support, and it now awaits committee assignment. Hey, if you're in Ohio and you want to see this happen, I guess call your local rep and let them know the deal. So the missing scientists. Every day, this is getting weirder, stranger. The stories are evolving. We're finding more dots people are connecting. Is it a real thing that people are observing? It seems that they're all connected to in some way, right? NASA, JPL, UFO research, antigravity, future tech, stuff like that. There is something clearly going on. Wilcox Passway, I guess he killed himself. I mean, that's the official story. It is weird. I mean, everything about all of this is weird. Are we driving ourselves crazy through a pattern that might be being manipulated by bad actors to make us look like, to make us think like there is something happening with disclosure on the horizon? As we're in the age of disclosure, allegedly, are they being taken out because of the hyper compartmentalization of this technology, and it may be being reverse engineered, or just all around manmade, reverse engineer from extraterrestrials, that is. And now we have to, we as in the government, the deep state has to take out these people so that they don't blow the whistle when it is revealed because they say, hey, this is not what they say it is. Are they being taken out by foreign adversaries? Are they disappearing themselves? We don't know. We have these texts now for the insider paper. You might have seen this already. It came out just a day or two ago. Amy Eskridge, another one of these people working with future tech ideas, anti-gravity, talking about disclosure. She was found dead. This is years, a few years ago. But now we see these new texts from her, according to insider paper, is where I'm pulling them up from. One is dated from May 13th, 2022. If you see any report that I killed myself, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I overdosed, I most definitely did not. If you see any report that I killed anyone else, I most definitely did not. Now we can read those and be like, you see like this is what I'm talking about, looking at things from a very different angle and how other people might view these stories. Some people will say, this sounds like a crazy person. She's paranoid. Maybe she's on drugs. Other people could say, she's been purposefully driven insane by the people she was worried about. Maybe they're hitting her with Havana syndrome, causing her to lose it. Or maybe she was completely stone sober and really concerned about the people she knew were in the shadows of the work she had been doing, she'd been researching. I don't know the answer. No one does. I mean, no one that we know does. But something's going on. You know, is it this nefarious pattern now being laid out because of the government, some people in the government wanting to sever any information that could get out, that could harm the narrative of the disclosure that they want to sell us. But that's what Amy Eschert was saying from May 13th around by 5.45 in the morning. She also said this. I don't know if it was creepy enough for me to tell several other people like, hey, if anyone reports that I killed myself, I did not. Some of them were like, yeah, I know they did that to me too. Yep, someone is absolutely trying to taunt you into killing yourself. If it's real, just don't do it. With pretty nuanced advice on how to navigate it, that's absurd. It's disturbing that I can report this current thing to my inner circle of scientists in the US. Some of them are like, yep, that happened to me. They're going to ask you to kill yourself and taunt you for a while about it. Just don't do it. Those guys are, that's the censored out word, I don't even know. What the actual, most of them are curse words, but I can't even make out what they're saying, except for the F ones, obviously. Who are these F-ing people and how common is this exactly, what the heck? So she also in one of her videos talked about Huntsville, Alabama, this base that's there, will become like an epicenter for disclosure and is also, according to her, on a list amongst foreign adversaries of a place to decimate because of the amount of tech and weapons that's there. And I don't want to forget this thing. I'm going to just take the Epstein side of this and put it on the shelf up here really quick. Last year, you might remember Trump announces Space Command Headquarters. Where did they move from? They were in Colorado. Where did they go? Anyone know? One, two, three, Huntsville, Alabama. In 2018, he signed an order reestablishing a space command after it had been absorbed in 2002 into US strategic command. Its main goal was to find ways to defend US interests in space. In 2023, President Joe Biden had decided instead to keep Space Command Headquarters in Colorado, where its temporary headquarters was located, overturning Mr. Trump's first term decision to move it to Alabama. Biden had been convinced by the by the head of Space Command at the time that moving its headquarters would jeopardize military readiness. His reversal prompted the House Armed Services Committee, chaired by Republican Mike Rogers of Alabama, to request the Pentagon's watchdog, investigate the basing decision. The Defense Department Inspector General said in a report that Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, would be the Air Force's preferred location for the command, but building facilities equal to the ones that were already in Colorado, could take three to four years. According to the IG's report, Army General James Dickinson, then the commander of US Space Command, voiced concerns about the timeline's impact on the command's readiness, which contributed to the decision Biden had made to keep the headquarters in Colorado. Colorado delegation says it will take necessary action to keep Space Command in the state. So that's a whole fight that they're having. But in the news last year, big time, Huntsville, Alabama, that military base, Trump, there is a lot of things going on there. I think Trump called it Rocket City at some point. But all these guys are dying or missing, that are loosely connected through NASA, through just being a private-slash-public figures, like people who aren't working for NASA, talking about UFOs, talking about disclosure. The Wilcox story, they said he took his life. I guess they said he was outside when the police came and took his life. We have, by the time this is being reported, at the time I'm recording this, I have not seen that footage, I have not seen reports about that. And like I always say with the Internet being a reality buffet, there are people out there who are in this disclosure space who think he, who say he was a mad man, who wasn't a good guy and he was in debt and all that stuff. But then you're like, did they use that to discredit any narrative that would take away from the fact that he did take his own life? I don't know. But you can go and find anything you want to believe on the Internet. So if you believe he was crazy and this and that, he took his own life, you can find the people saying that with big accounts. If you believe that he was cover up and he didn't take his life, you can go find that narrative as well. I don't know. All I can say is I'm tracking it. I am very concerned about it. But also it could just be a pattern we're putting together out of paranoia, out of like hysteria, out of a hysteria that has been injected into our simulation. I don't believe in simulation theory, but I believe in a fake reality that's been put on top of objective reality, real reality, God's reality. And that simulation is not your zeros and ones type computer generated simulation. It is a inorganic blanket, basically, that's been put on top of reality through the media industrial complex, through social media, through technology. And it allows people to manipulate and cause fear, to stoke fears rather. And people can then buy into this false reality, forgetting that below everything, we do have an objective reality. I do believe it still exists. And that a lot of us do still see it, and we are holding on to it, and we're trying to remind people, hey, this is insane. You don't have to believe in this. They're trying to drive us all crazy. So with that in mind, I was also thinking about how many NASA-related or JPL-related or UFO-type scientists, by that I mean people who have researched it have died. I'm not forgetting about the Epstein thing here, by the way, because I'm going to go back to that in a second. But in the last five years from 2021, I just asked Grok this really quick. I don't even know how I feel about Grok or any of these things, but I'm always curious about what it says when you ask it a question. But I'm looking at all the, I asked for all the links to where they're getting this information from. From mid-2021 to April 2026, at least several dozen NASA or JPL related scientists, engineers, and researchers have died, though an exact total is not publicly compiled or easily verifiable. NASA, JPL, and Caltech, I also included MIT, Caltech-related type scientists or physicists. Employer collaborate with thousands of scientists and engineers, like any large professional group, deaths occur obviously regularly from natural causes, age, illness, accidents, etc. No centralized public database tracks every NASA-related death, a broad category that can include current former employees, this is Grok speaking, contractors, mission collaborators, etc. So comprehensive counts rely on scattered obituaries, NASA announcements, and news reports. So these are some notable deaths from the past five years related to those institutions like NASA, NJPL, Caltech, MIT. Obviously, it's going to be a ton. And then what we're looking for is like if there's a greater pattern happening. Obviously, there's some really strange stuff with the deaths and missing people we're talking about over the past few weeks. One of these guys, they talk about like working with UFOs, the McCasland and his connection to Tom DeLong from Blink 182, and his connection to Wright-Patterson, and allegedly overseeing the same laboratory that years prior collected the alleged debris from Roswell. He was last seen with a gun. He wasn't technically seen. His gun was gone, and he went missing, and nothing else was with him. And then the other guy, Garcia, I believe he was JPL connected or NASA connected. He was actually seen, last seen with a gun. There's a screenshot of that, surveillance shot of that. So and they are all connected through this idea of whether it's anti-gravity tech, reverse engineered tech, we don't know. But we have Michael David Hicks. He was JPL research scientist, Asteroid Comet. We talked about him. He was part of the DART mission. He died July 30, 2023, age 59. No public cause released. Frank Maiwald, another JPL guy, died July 4, 2024, age 61. No public cause released. Ed Stone, former JPL director of Voyager Projects, scientist, died June 9, 2024, age 88. He's like older people. Peter Theisinger, JPL engineer, led multiple Mars rover missions, died June 2024. John Cassani, another JPL engineer, June 19, 2025. He was 92. Again, you could make the argument these guys worked on stuff in the past, but these are getting up there in age. So long in the tooth, as my dad likes to say. Yuck L. Young, that's a real name. Caltech professor, also worked at JPL as a research scientist and was involved in planetary science, died at 79, March 16, 2026. Recent news has focused on a cluster of three JPL-linked deaths and disappearances. That's Hicks, Mywold, and the disappearance of Monica Reza in 2025, which is really bizarre. Just disappeared on a hike. I think she's on a hike. A lot of these people too. McCaslin was on a hike as well, allegedly. And that's happening amidst the broader list of 11 scientists in nuclear space related fields under federal review. These have drawn attention due to limited details on causes in some cases, but NASA has stated no evidence of a broader threat. For the last 10 years, roughly mid-2016 to April 2026, the number would be higher, likely well over 100 as it covers an additional five years of normal attrition among an aging workforce with many long career veterans. It'll be interesting to see what's next, who they add to this list and why, what people make of it, the connections they want us to make. Something's obviously going on. Some people think, by the way this news is coming out, some people think this is a linear situation, but we are going back now and connecting dots from years ago. But that doesn't mean that doesn't take away from the mystery. It could be stuff that just people didn't notice. It went under the radar. And now in retrospect, looking at what we know now, in the age of disclosure, something was happening. Whether it was the government, foreign adversaries, or the people doing it to themselves, or it's just coincidence, which I don't believe in. We don't know yet, but now there's a pattern that's emerged. And you remember, I mean, the end of last year was two deaths that were happening. That happened, well, it was the end of last year, the beginning of this year, the Caltech and MIT professor. And now we have all of this going on. And they were murdered, those professors, in their house. And the one in, the Caltech one, I believe, like it wasn't just like, they said it was on his, outside of his house. From what I can tell, this wasn't like a suburban area, a lot of houses, someone running up from the street. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I haven't delved too deeply into that story. From what I remember, this guy lived in a pretty remote area with no neighbors. And I believe, I hope I'm right here. I'm just going to, you're going to let me know if I'm wrong. I believe the guy who shot and killed the Caltech professor was actually there on his property like weeks prior or days prior. And I believe they called the cops on him. And I believe he was arrested. And I believe he got out. I believe he killed him. If I'm correct, which I believe I am, that's insane. That's insane. So the Epstein thing, we know that Epstein and Galaine Maxwell's father and Galaine herself were super invested in science and advanced science and going to universities, being a part of universities. So Robert Maxwell was creating the books that were part of schools, a lot of science textbooks. I mean, we were talking yesterday about Galaine being interested in like ancient civilizations and all wrapped up with Zorro Ranch and Eugenics and creating, designing people, all that stuff. But Epstein was deeply involved in like future tech. And you can listen to Eric Weinstein talk about him, I believe at MIT, seeing Epstein years and years ago, coming around and like looking into things on the science research side, being like, and he was like, what does this got to do with anything? He's been sort of cagey about the specifics. Not sure why, if it's out of fear or what. I mean, I don't know, but it's super weird. And we know he had deep relations with these universities, and was also very deeply invested monetarily in science and giving money to scientists to do these designer babies and to create all types of strange things. I don't think we know a quarter of what the heck he was up to. So he was definitely fascinated with all of that. And, yeah, I was looking up, going back to like Alabama, Huntsville, all this stuff, I think that story, that seems like one of the threads of this story that will reemerge. And so I was thinking about is there's, if there's an article that connects like the UFOs, Space Force, this whole idea of disclosure. And I found this from August 9th, 2023, how many UFO sightings have been reported in Alabama? Remember, this is like those stories we go over quite a bit. Certain states, it's always like this state has the highest rate of abductions. You know, shout out Ohio. So you've seen something in the sky, says al.com, but you're not sure what it is. The truth is out there. Ha ha ha. That's not just according to the X-Files, but also the National UFO Reporting Center, which keeps a database of roughly 170,000 sightings of unidentified flying objects reported over the last 48 years. Based in Washington state, New Fork is a non-profit with a public database. DataFace is a good name for a band, kind of like a fear factory band. UFOs or UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena, we know, were the subject of hearings on Capitol Hill last month as lawmakers are considering declassifying information about them. Three former military officers told Congress they saw unexplained flying objects and one of them claimed the US government is secretly holding extraterrestrial wreckage. So this was from 2023, just last year. Like I said, I think yesterday, George Knapp testified before Congress that he believes Lockheed Martin is in possession of extraterrestrial biologics. We have not really gotten an answer as to what that means. Is it like a life form, like a corpse? Is it an extraterrestrial corpse or is it technology? But yeah, that's literally been said before Congress. It also cautions those submitting reports not to confuse UFOs with Starlink satellites, which still happens to this day, or Venus and Jupiter sightings or objects that appear in photos but are not visible to the naked eye. California leads the nation in sightings with almost 16,000. Now remember, that's just sightings. We all see things. Doesn't mean there were all those 16,000 actual UFOs. Florida is second with a little more than 8,000. So how many times have Alabamians spotted something unexplained? According to New Fork, it has documented 1,364 sightings originating from the state, the oldest dating from the 1930s. Huntsville, Alabama's Rocket City has seen 107 sightings. As of 2023, there have been 32. As of August 9th, sightings lasted from a few seconds to as long as three hours. Let's see if there's any new sightings at Huntsville, Alabama. Anything new here, anything new. All 2025. What's this here? From the Montgomery Advertiser. Oh, you silly ads. Well, no, I can do it without paying. Across the United States, residents have been noticing unusual phenomena in the night sky, from streaking meteors to unexplained glowing orbs. Hey, that's funny. I forgot all about the meteors. That story disappeared. Remember all the meteors that were exploding in the sky above Ohio or Philly or New Mexico? That was interesting. Were they just pods carrying new species here? Were they satellites falling out of the sky? I don't have my space law hat on today, so I got to dip into my space law. Maybe we'll do a follow up on that from Cashman and Cashman space law at your service. Alabama has not been immune to these sightings, so they've seen about 200 more in Alabama since 2023. The most recent report came on March 24th, 2026 in Dothan where witnesses described a huge yellowish white orb drifting slowly from north to southeast. Residents reported seeing it scan or emit a subtle downward light as it moved slowly and deliberately, the report said. The sighting attracted attention on local social media, and residents shared videos and photos. Huntsville is the number one place in Alabama for sightings, and I imagine it has something to do with the military base being there. They have a total of, let's see, it's not that many, but since 1995, 91. That's according to New Fork. There's a silly picture of an alien. Go figure. So we could continue, we should continue to ask questions with the missing scientists, but also keep in mind, it might be part of a sci-op to get us all on board to believe the next big thing that they're going to pull on us. I'm not a huge Vanity Fair fan, but I just want to throw this headline out there because it's worthwhile keeping these things in our mind. Eleven scientists that says are dead or missing, it was only a matter of time before conspiracy theories hit the White House. I mean, that's been happening since the very beginning. But okay, one morning this February, William Neal McCasland walked out of his home. We know that. So for an extraterrestrial enthusiast, they say, of a certain stripe, the mystery has landed like a modern day Roswell. McCasland had overseen classified aerospace research at a laboratory that UFO lore identifies as a secret site of debris from the 1947 crash. After he retired in 2013, he worked as a consultant on media projects for Tom DeLong. You know, you know all this. They're going to walk through the history. I'm not going to read this whole article because it's vanity fair. They used to have some pretty cool profiles of people, but I haven't seen that in a while either. But they're basically talking about... Last week, the conspiracy reached its apex in the White House after a Fox News correspondent asked press secretary Caroline Levitt at a briefing whether anybody was investigating this to see if things are connected. Levitt assured him that if it were true, that's definitely something I think this government and administration would deem worth looking into. I hope it's random, Donald Trump soon told reporters. Pretty serious stuff. Hopefully, I don't know, coincidence, whatever you want to call it. But some of them were very important people, and we're going to look at it over the next short period. The House Oversight Committee Chairman announced on Monday that the group was beginning to investigate, proposing that these deaths, this is a quote, and disappearances may represent a grave threat to US national security and to US personnel with access to scientific secrets. And the FBI added in a statement on Tuesday that it is spearheading the effort to look for connections into the missing and deceased scientists. I just have a sneaking suspicion that some of the stuff is a new form of Manchurian candidate, where they don't go after someone like they used to, but they actually go after themselves because it's going to help with the narrative, drive them crazy, hit them with Havana syndrome, hit them with a discombobulator. Could just be crazy. I mean, Eskridge, I believe, says she's hit by some sort of device. She's got burns on her hands. It's been a pretty long while since I've seen that video. But I don't know. It's part of what I think about a lot of stuff. Something's happening. Is it exactly as it appears to be? My bias is to not believe the surface, the face of the story, that there's something probably deeper, a little more complex, a little darker. Even though this is dark, I think it's always a little darker. But that is my confirmation bias, and I have to keep that in check. At a Turning Point USA event on Friday, the president doubled down on his appeal to interested onlookers among the right and alien. Curious. I recently directed, he said, the Secretary of War to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena. He told the audience, adding, I thought I'd have it for this crowd because you're a little bit out there. Yeah. How do you all feel about this? I'm very curious. As this is unfolding, how do you guys feel about this? Am I dead wrong here? Do you think I, what am I missing? Are there other stories out there? How do you feel about Wilcox? How do you feel about Eskridge? How do you feel about McCaslin? Garcia, what are you seeing? There's something going on. Is it some sort of think tank deranged plan to create a narrative? Is it something like what they're saying in the news? Is it some sort of organization going after these people because technology has been so hyper- compartmentalized and disclosure? They have to take away people to silence them before their big reveal? Do you think it's foreign adversaries? Are they doing it to themselves? You know, we could look at this through so many different angles. It is hard to know. But we'll see what happens between today and Monday, because it's just like the other day. This came out today. NASA nuclear engineer found dead and burned Tesla after vanishing from his Alabama home last year. Alabama again. A NASA nuclear scientist died after a fiery crash in a rural Alabama town last year, which at the time caused suspicion among family members. Joshua LeBlanc, 29, died in a fiery crash in his Tesla on July 22nd, 2025. The crash happened in Huntsville, Alabama, where his Tesla was found burned beyond recognition at about 2.45 in the afternoon. The Alabama law enforcement agency told Fox News Digital. I'm telling you, it feels like there's an apparatus of evil that is conducting all of this violence. That's just my gut feeling about all this. Perhaps it's all just a coincidence. You can't not think of also the guy who blew up the Tesla outside the Trump Tower at the beginning of 2025. That story was very suspicious to me. And how it turned into the Sean Ryan podcast, saying that email, saying, hey, I'm this guy. I have this technology, like anti-gravity. Was it anti-gravity? Disclosure type stuff. And it just seemed like this is... I went through that as it was happening on the show, talking about how I think this is a form of mockingbird, of Operation Mockingbird, where they're trying to seed information through the podcast world, which had just helped Trump get elected, and now they need to use it to manipulate the narrative. But that story was weird. Something happened, but that story was super weird to me. This reminded me of that. The vehicle collided with a guardrail, then several trees before the vehicle burst into flames. At 4:32 a.m. on the same day, LeBlanc's family reported him missing. He uncharacteristically failed to show up to his job as an aerospace technologies electrical engineer at NASA, where he worked on nuclear propulsion projects. His body was also burned beyond recognition, which is strange. The police confirmed his identity three days later after his body was transported to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences. I was talking to an AMT guy a while ago, telling me about the fires from Teslas and how they're so insane, they leave like an even darker, bigger burn on the ground. I guess from the batteries, I'm not sure. You guys probably know more than me. At the time, his family told KLFY that they feared he had been abducted and that he had left his phone and wallet in his home at the time of the disappearance. It's really freaking sad. Police tracked LeBanc down using the data from his Tesla Sentry Mode and found that his vehicle sat at the airport in Huntsville for four hours on the morning of his death. His family said his trip west was not part of his plan for the day and that uncharacteristically he was not communicating with them. A LinkedIn page for LeBanc says he worked at NASA for about five and a half years and that he was a team lead for NASA space nuclear propulsion, instrumentation, and control maturation. NASA S&P technology would enable faster and more robust transportation for QM cargo missions to Mars and science missions to the outer solar system, according to the government agency's website. LeBanc was later a team lead on NASA's demonstration rocket for agile cislunar operation, also known as DRACO, a nuclear thermal propulsion engine. At least 12 other people, the New York Post website is such trash, at least 12 other people, the vast majority involved in nuclear science and space research have died or gone missing since 2022. Some under mysterious circumstances. You guys know all the names. It is really interesting. The Post says the deaths and disappearances have not been officially connected in any way but they have caught the attention of the White House. As I just reported, as I just read the reports to you rather, we know what Trump is saying, what Carolyn Levitt said, and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, which investigated LeBlanc's death, shared a press release from July of last year, reiterating details of the crash. So that's the latest one from like last night about this string, this pattern that we're seeing. Who else was there? I think there was someone else. I don't know if I went over this guy. Another NASA scientist dies. This time it was James Mofata along with his family in a plane crash. This is coming a day after UFO researcher David Wilcox supposedly took himself out. That is according, I'm reading a tweet there from Minutes of Horror. And yeah, James, Tony Mofata and his family died in a Mooney M20 crash in South Carolina as the cause remains under investigation. That is terrible news. I mean, outside of this whole mystery, this pattern, whatever's being sold to us as this narrative, just horrible, you know, I hate reading about these people dying. I hate reading about it. I hate reading about it. If it's suicide, it's sad. You know, if it's a cover-up, obviously that's sad with a whole other layer of deranged, a whole other deranged layer to it. But I just hate reading about this stuff. It's terrible. It is terrible. And just remember, try to remember, I mean, it's a little unrelated, but try to remember to reach out to people as we're in a much more isolated age, even though we're more connected than ever with the Internet. If you know someone's alone or been going through hard times, just reach out, just say, what's up? How are you doing? It helps people. People need to remember to touch grass, touch grass, they say online. Yes, you should be outside. But also remember that there's other people and you should try to reach out to them, and just say, what's up? Ask how they're doing, send them a song, see, just if there's anything you do, maybe you can meet up at some point, take them for a walk. It's, there's a lot of sadness out there, and it's very upsetting, but I understand it. I fully understand why people are like that, and for various, many various reasons. But just remember that. And this time of year is always tough, I think, on some people, especially the ones who are alone and don't have a family. Having grown up near a bridge and unfortunately, being stuck in traffic while the police are trying to drag the waters below the bridge for a person who just leapt off. A lot of those suicides happened around this time of year. I don't know what that is. I'm sure there's research and reasons why, but it's getting warm out. And I don't know, it's like a really sad thawing happens. And growing up by the Bear Mountain Bridge, we'd see it happen almost every year. And sometimes people just pull over and jump out. And I never forget the one time coming back from a Mother's Day brunch. And yeah, being stuck in traffic was so sad. On that day, on Mother's Day, like someone took their life. It was just horrible. And like the cars, you see the car up ahead, you see the door open. I love people, despite how insane everyone is, you know? Not everyone, but most of us, you know? But I love people and I want the best for people. And just try to remember to reach out to someone, you know, if they need help, see if they need help. Just it's the best, it's the best we can do, you know? Trying to be there for someone when things are getting crazy and things are getting crazy. With that in mind, I still, I pray every day, I pray for you guys. I am so grateful for everyone. I am so grateful that you tune in, leave comments and roast my sweater. I told my kids about it, they were cracking up. And so thank you again for that. Thank you guys on Rumble. Thank you YouTube. All the best to you. Hope you have a great weekend. Have a blessed weekend. And we'll be back on Monday. Remember, my book, Good Villains, is available for pre-order now. Well, look at that. It's an amazing book, if I must say myself. I'm very proud of it. And years in the making, and it's coming out through Skyhorse. It'll be out September 1st of this year. It is available for pre-order now, Kindle and on hardcover. And it's going to have an audiobook too. So you can find that link on Twitter and on Instagram at Shane Cashman. And also all the liking and subscribing and commenting on this channel certainly helps us. And as Rumble is changing its, I guess, its algorithm, the more interaction you guys give us on Rumble, the better it will be for us. I think they're going to get rid of the editor's picks, which we have been in almost every day since we've been starting the show on a four day a week basis. They're going to change that now, I guess, determine it through users and how we're sharing it. So if you're on Rumble and you're watching and you will help us by sharing, commenting, liking all that good stuff. And again, I want to say shout out to Adrienne Curry, our other super chat last night, you rule, Adrienne gets it. If you're not following her on Twitter, you should be doing that. She's plugged in. She sees that we are up against a ridiculous and gross false reality, as I know, many of us are understanding post reality, as we are trying to understand and navigate the false from the real, which we're going to have to get better and better at and discerning the fake from the real with the proliferation of AI and propaganda being pumped out by the corporate press and the independent media. So on that note, thank you all. Have a great weekend. I will see you on Monday.
