This Paranormal Life - #080 Cursed Humanoids Live 1 Mile Under This Russian Lake

Episode Date: September 25, 2018

On the border of Russia and Mongolia lies Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world. It's considered a Russian national treasure, yet it has a rich paranormal history - Water dragon beasts stalked ancient Chinese travellers, UFOs have been sighted on the water's edge, and even sightings of mysterious humanoids. As always, Kit and Rory get to the bottom of it. Not the actual lake though, it's massive.Support us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunityIntro music by www.purple-planet.com Hosted on Acast.

Hey, welcome back to the podcast. It is Tuesday once again. You are joined by myself, professional paranormal investigator Kit Greer, and this guy over here, professional paranormal investigator Mr. Rory Powers. How are all the ghosts doing in

the house tonight boo don't you f**king boo me don't have no hacklers i know your ghost can ghosts cheer or do they just like boo louder i think that they're like a really polite audience they click yeah like slam poetry yeah they'll wear scarves yeah that's right you're listening to this paranormal life the podcast where every week we dissect a different paranormal tale claim or case and get to the bottom of whether it is true or whether it is false um we're just going to jump right in kapoosh today we're going somewhere that is almost untouched by podcasts oh right and the tiny pockets of people that do reside in this far-flung location

have barely even heard of Mark Maron and Joe Rogan, much less this paranormal life, sadly. Truly a time that land has forgot. That can't be how you wanted that to come out, bud, right? We're in Lake Baikal. If I move on, then no one will notice. Okay. F***, I stalled, actually.

Shit. Stall, I f***ed no one will notice. Okay. F*** I stalled actually. Shit. Stall I f***ed actually. Shit. I know everyone's like, oh man, why do you guys not do this Paranormal Life live? This is why! I have the IQ of a smart dog. I'm scared of the stage and the dark. Standing on a stage looking into the darkness is my ultimate fear.

Good lord. standing on a stage looking into the darkness is my ultimate fear good lord we would have to light up the audience so insanely brightly that they would get retina damage that's right today we're journeying far into the wilderness far beyond the quiet time saying goodbye to this provincial life and saying bonjour to the unknown this is it Beauty and the Beast? I guess I have it on the brain. But it's not going to affect the podcast. I hope not. We're in Lake Baikal in Russia, a vast, almost untouched landscape.

It's so giant, almost a quarter of the entire world's fresh water is in this one lake. It's the deepest lake on Earth, going down around one mile. In winter, it freezes over and is so cold, you can watch its waves freeze instantly as they hit the shore. What?

I'm going to actually, because that is such a crazy statement, I'm going to show you a video of this right now. That was a very bold statement. So, you should be able to see this. Okay. Oh my god, that is insane. That is like a wave coming in like the snail's pace but literally freezing as it hits the land how is this possible i mean is this what we're

investigating today because that's pretty paranormal this is pretty paranormal already it's actually not what we're investigating but i just wanted to set the scene for what a weird lake this is yeah i mean ended here it's a yes this week that thing's mad it's so disturbing and like there are men filming this and they're just wearing beanies and filming it with cameras i'm i'm kind of confused that this is cold enough for water for waves to freeze as they move but not cold enough to kill a man right like how are these ice beasts still walking the street how cold does it have to be for the blood to freeze in your body that's a great

question i know that your eyeballs can freeze i mean it starts with one of the worst things that could freeze your eyes pretty much because you can't blink you're just kind of stuck there like eyes open like when gandalf sleeps sitting there frozen in the in this in the snow ideally you would freeze ass first right right because you can kind of deal like you know if your feet freeze up you can't move that's bad if your ass freezes up you know not no biggie but be careful because the floor is icy as hell you don't want to slip and shatter your ass into a thousand pieces because you do need your ass you do need it it turns out it turns out could

you imagine being in a waiting room and you know you like stubbed your your toe really bad so you know you had to take the morning off work right and you're sitting there in the waiting room and it's a really bad reason to take the morning off work but that's fine you're waiting for the doctor to come in and he's like is like uh saying goodbye to a patient it's like all right susan you take care of that and let me know if you have any more trouble um next up mr greer mr greer and you're just standing up ready to go and someone just pushes you down and says can i go first i shattered my ass I look up to the doctor and I'm like, I really feel you should see him first. Well, no, because there's nothing the medical profession can do to a shattered ass. Yeah, you should probably go to a plastic surgeon, something like that.

Like an ass doctor. Do you have the pieces? It is said that in the local lake sort of tribal lore, that the lake was formed by a giant rock falling from the sky and that the tribe's people themselves are descended from one of the lake's mythical dragon beasts very cool it is a deep extraordinary history the native people here say that jesus christ himself visited this part of Asia and ascended a summit around the lake where he looked down

all over it and he blessed the country to the north and then he turned to the south and looking across it cursed the country he did he cursed it that's not very Jesus like it doesn't sound like him I feel like they've got him mixed up

with someone else he apparently he said quote beyond this there is nothing and cursed it and that's why they believe that nothing grows on the south bank of the lake okay now of course this may or may not have happened uh jesus was not actually born anywhere near there. Jesus was not known to have traveled particularly while he was alive. Right. But we do know that Genghis Khan himself was born on one of the lake's islands. The Mongolian Jesus. Killed a lot of people, actually. Did he?

Yeah. I think still a national hero, but killed a lot of people. Right. And he was one of the most murderous bastards of all time. But we're not here to talk about Jesus or even Genghis. We're here to talk about the paranormal. but killed a lot of people. Right. And he was one of the most murderous bastards of all time. But we're not here to talk about Jesus or even Genghis. We're here to talk about the paranormal. Well, at Lake Baikal, sightings of water beasts such as the Usan Lobos Khan or, quote, Water Dragon Master go back hundreds of years. And these are backed up by records made by early Chinese explorers who called the lake

the North Sea at the time. They reported these beasts and referred to them as gods of the lake or dragon fishes. Wow. There are even ancient carvings made of these beasts found on the cliffs of the lake including a large stone tablet about two,000 to 3,000 years old, which depicts a mysterious water monster. The image carved into the stone shows a large lizard creature with a forked tongue, wicked claws, and plait like Garmer. Do you want to see a pic? Yeah, absolutely. You made it sound very detailed.

So this is what they've done here. It's quite cool, actually. Snagged a pic of it, then bumped up the contrast, put it in black and white, photoshopped it, threw it into VR. Right. I was kind of excited to see the actual cave painting as was. No, no, no. You're going to see the Universal Studios roller coaster version. No, I am actually going to show you the original one.

They've just put it in black and white. What do you see? I see a bird with arms holding an eyeball that's what it looks like to me also what's behind it a tiny little snake with a mouth or something like that yeah and there might be another water beast a smaller slightly tinier water water beast i know what you mean the so the the head i will concede looks a bit beak like very beak like but i will draw attention to the uh weird eye thing on the top he also seems to have scales on the back like spikes on his back he also has a forked tongue which birds don't have that's true and he does have a snake slash water beast behind

him uh that's an exaggeration to say that that is a water beast ladies and gentlemen that is a one one one squiggly line nothing else with a fish's head at the top of it to call that a water beast spikes in the mouth there's one spike that looks like it was a what kind of bird has arms and claws yes okay i admit he does have a beak like a bird but can i direct you to his dragon-like wings birds have wings hmm how do you explain the feathers and his lust for bread the eggs clearly dragons they're tiny baby dragons what do you say about him blowing flames that's not flames actually is it i think he's coughing up worms now that i look at it closely those aren't worms those are sea beasts okay so this is up to a little bit of interpretation okay hey hey you know know what? I'll throw you a bone here.

It's a bird with arms. That's already pretty weird. Thanks, bro. However, those who visit the lake would be lucky if all they had to worry about was ancient sea beasts. All you have to do is not go in the water. That's the case. But there are more modern paranormal tales about this lake.

It is well known for UFO activity. There have long been sightings of strange lights hovering over the vast lake even sightings of unusual crafts local fishermen and other such workers tell stories of lights hovering over the lake or exploding out of the lake out of the water and into the sky some have even claimed that crafts descend from the clouds and land on the lake. So we're five minutes in. Yeah. And we've got sea beasts, UFOs, and Jesus all in the one location. Yeah.

At a lake that literally freezes as it hits the shore. Yeah. I'm in. It's crazy. Is there any overlap in all of those things? Oh, like Jesus descended from the clouds and that would riding a sea beast oh yeah is that jesus he does a fork tongue i don't remember that in the bible think it is he's walking on water the lake's frozen as shit anyone can walk on it yeah so

there's a bunch of anecdotal evidence about um ufo sightings but what if I told you that we have the documents? That's right, rocket fuel, or should I say UFO fuel, was added to these UFO claims when in recent years Russia declassified a number of Soviet era documents that describe military reports of unexplainable phenomena around the lake. For example, in 1958, one Soviet TU-154 pilot crashed into the icy lake's water after allegedly being chased by a UFO. These bizarre reports were compiled by Admiral Nikolai Smirnoff. I don't want to sidetrack us, but you have definitely made up that name. What? Smirnoff? What's his name?

And his brother, Jacob Grey Goose. Yeah. All of them super into the paranormal. Yeah. Definitely not alcoholics. Dad, Mr. Southern Comfort. They all answered to Captain Morgan, leader of the platoon. But unfortunately, there are even darker revelations underneath the surface. Like I said, Lake Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth.

And in 1977, the PASIS underwater explorer was surveying the lake from 1,200 meters down. Why? The lake is weird why what do you why are you going in it it's the deepest lake on earth right so you want to know what's done don't go in there right well that's not a very like scientific we already know what deep water fish are like that are in the ocean yeah imagine what the little grimy bastards that are in the bottom of this ice dungeon are like your line of argument here is probably how scientists talked in like the middle ages yeah the scientists are like we've finally done it we've possessed the all the technology needed to finally land man on the surface of the moon why the f**k do you want to go to the moon all right have you seen

sorry have you seen the fish at the bottom of the ocean that's the opposite sky fish is that what you're interested in creepy ass fish with those little lights on their head what we do know is that fish deep underneath the ocean are disgusting and horrible and then we know that there is a yet to be discovered sort of space layer of fish that are also terrifying and that in between there is a narrow band of livable space and that's where we live that's where we exist yeah so we just can't go anywhere on the thin belt of life below fish above fish killer fish i'm being dragged out of the laboratory saying this you'll all learn you'll all learn one day no one goes to one of the other scientists like what should we do with him he's lost his damn mind feed him to the fishers

put him on the ship they blast you straight up into the air imagine neil armstrong was like that you know that magical moment where it's like one small step for man one giant what the is that oh my god it's swimming towards me you're back at the roost be like swimming neil get out of there oh god that would be so boring if you traveled all that distance. Like, you did the whole, like, Elon Musk six months in a tiny pod to get to Mars. Well, we found life on Mars. Oh, my God. No way. Yeah, it's a little fish.

We tried to eat it as well. It's not even tasty. It's nasty. Yeah, it's weird and bad. We call them shit fish. The only thing you can do here is just sleep and hunt shit fish all day. I think we're gonna head back we'll see you in 15 years it's been a washout honestly i did watch a show years ago about

you know what would life look like in the galaxy and in the solar system somewhere like in saladus is a hotly talked about option for there potentially being life because it has sort of a hot core but a frozen outer layer so they believe that it could be maybe what ice cold exterior right but then once you break that down oh mama spicy on the inside right once you get to know me i will burn you up oh so bad on the outside and bad on the worse on the inside arguably and then just in between the two a thin layer of like decency like the birds baby we live on a thin line i'm the boy you love to hate i will freeze your ass and burn your dick that's your Tinder bio. The boy you love to hate. That alone is just nope.

So I hate you then. No one likes hating you. We just hate you. Yeah, so this underwater explorer in the 70s was examining the lake from 1,200 meters down. And at one point, just about the scariest possible thing that could happen happened to its crew. The lights aboard the paces cut out completely at the bottom of the lake. They were

plunged into pitch black on almost a mile under until a beam of light blasted out of the lake's floor and illuminated them fully before disappearing a couple of seconds later. Suddenly their lights power par back on we're almost a mile underwater what just lit us up who's down here it's actually these ufos it's one of them right that was like a small fact left out of the bible that's like you know you hear about they had like gospels that were left over from the bible and they were like no one can know about these and they dropped them into mordor or something like that so no one could ever read them well that was like the gospel where jesus had gills i feel like there's there's enough going on yeah they had them all lined out and they were like we've got to lose like a couple thousand words yeah for the word count listen matthew john

peter writing is incredible you guys are luminaries but listen this is listen you aquatrium uh your your bit was shit your bit was really bad really water-based really matthew's like hey come on man it was it was aquatrius it wasn't that bad man it was kind of out there he always talks like this as well can we get a translator in here this is a pain in the ass like the water stuff You're doing it with your finger. You don't have to do it. We get it. You're from underwater.

Fine, I'll just... Sorry. You're not even doing it very well. It doesn't sound like you're underwater. Oh, I think it does. It's like, go underwater one time if you love water so much. Or I we can swim thank you equatria is the lost disciple it's like a it's like a big ask to believe all the miracles

but to believe that like jesus like fought that like epic battle like in atlantis that's like a lot for people to try and wrap their heads around yeah equatius what if we just say he he walked on water best of both worlds the properties of the land but on the sea fine all right good good that explains it yeah yeah this team were wondering what the blue hell lit us up down there and they would get an answer just five years later but an answer just that would raise more questions than it would solve. It's 1982, and the Navy are conducting routine training on the lake's surface. It's pitch black, because it's more dramatic that way. The naval boat is lighting the water's surface just with a spotlight,

and a number of divers jump overboard, disappearing into the night. Well, an hour passes, and others in the boat are looking at each other they should have been back on the boat by now and they look into the water and a couple of divers re-emerge you can't breathe down there what i thought i thought you could breathe down there. You were down there for an hour. That's so impressive. That's incredible. Jesus Christ. Gravity, it doesn't exist.

Not down there. You can't hear anything. I was trying to talk to you from down there, but no, of course that wouldn't work. There's sky fish in the water. God, not this guy again. Yeah, the guys in the boat shout out where are the others well the others would never be seen again the divers that did survive that night told a bizarre and disturbing story about what happened down there they said that once they got to around 160 feet down they encountered humanoids oh god dressed in silvery

suits it said that three divers died trying to pursue the humanoids and another four were seriously injured these are military documents right they're not saying that these humanoids were aliens or something they're just like oh there's some kind of psychological cause you know these guys they are they it was like a mermaid sort of situation they thought they saw something they went off into the distance and died right um but these divers know what they saw they saw their own goddamn man get taken away by these humanoids or injured that's crazy because again as you said you know these are uh military documents yeah so they're not even going to use the word they're going to be like um

uh three soldiers mia yeah uh kia little codes like that uh they're not going to be like three soldiers were blasted through the heart by a glowing trident like they're not going to say what exactly what happened. It'll be like the technical words for it. Sebastian the f***ing crab legit chopped one of our boys' heads off. Flounder did a U-turn, was slapping them all across the face with her little fin. Little Nemo swam down some guy's throat and yanked out his heart. Swam out his bloody lungs and said,

you found me, bish. We don't understand English. We don't know what that means. That's just what he said. But yeah, extremely disturbing. This is declassified documents, people. Right. By the military.

It was a classic, you know, CIA. Well, not a classic. Classic. Very unique. But it was a classic dump of like unidentified shit they're just like putting it out there 30 years later we don't know what happened that day right someone else figure it out i appreciate that becomes uh public domain sort of stuff the real question here is could these have been otherworldly beings could they have been aliens do they have an underwater lair?

We never think about it normally. But one Russian UFO expert at the time was quoted in the paper as saying 50% of UFO sightings happen around bodies of water. And another 15% or so take place around lakes specifically. So UFOs obviously have some connection to water. That blew my mind when I read it because maybe people did think that back in the 80s or 70s. We definitely don't think that today.

Absolutely not. The connotations with UFO sightings are major cities. Yep. And the desert. Even desert. Like the opposite of water yeah dry is it possible that these visitors are coming from a liquid planet why why if they were coming from a liquid planet why would they go to water because they breathe underwater oh yeah that makes a lot of sense

actually yeah because what's more and call me out on it like that because what or you seem really perturbed pissed because i thought i made a good point now you took it away from me i'll edit now i'll edit in your point to be good wait i'll just record now me being like thinking it was a good point let me edit this bit in right obviously dick wad they came down to the lakes because they breathe water good old co2 asshole edit that in when you ask me why they would come to water so edit in you making my point really aggressively yeah but that not against me though don't make me answer myself make it so you make you the dick make you the dick because i don't want to be the dick again anymore yeah so every week that i edit the podcast you always send me the same note make

you the dick and i'm like i don't care how long it takes i don't care if we have to redo the episode if you weren't such a dick on the episode we wouldn't have to change it and i just reply shut up asshole and then reply to that don't make me the dick in that email in this email yeah i'm just gonna move on okay okay cool cool cool i i can't wait to hear more and there is actually one video of like uh ufo evidence but you know i know you're gonna shit on it so i don't know if even know if i'll show you no i'm excited i'll check it out no you're just gonna you're just gonna do the usual like just like shit all over it because it's like not that believable or something yeah well i'm a little worried how much you're putting it down before showing it to me

yeah well like i think it's good what resolution is the video it's it's two by one is that is that a real resolution is that a pixel it's two by four it's a piece of wood i'll i'll show you it okay and if you lay into it i'm gonna edit to edit that out because honestly, I can't take getting shut down anymore on the podcast. Okay. Just try and see like a positive side of it. I mean, on this podcast, we go in with open minds. Always with an open mind. So this was filmed sort of on the, in winter, around the lake.

And I think you're going to be disturbed. It's a video on the Telegraph, so that's already a good start. It's not just a YouTube channel. Yeah, so we've got some sort of debris here, and then some kind of humanoid. Oh my god. What is that? I don't know, dude. It's pretty disturbing.

What? What is that? In everything but color, folks, we are looking at the limp body of a full-on gray lying here in the snow. I'm glad you can be honest about that. I'll lay it down on the table. Now, on top of these claims, we have a whole host of others.

Boats have gone missing, Bermuda Triangle style. Things are never seen again. There are mysterious ice circles that form on the lake itself. Look at these mysterious circles that form on the ice. Okay, that's actually pretty cool. Yeah. That's the best thing you've shown me this whole episode.

And a bunch of other things. But I know that we should focus on what we have evidence for. A sea dragon and UFOsos all right thoughts okay okay let's break down this this case uh well you know one one block at a time please do because i have no idea what's going on all right what we're dealing with here is a lake that it's waves turn first off why does the lake have waves huh riddle me that because it's the like well it's not that was a rhetorical question wait till my conclusion is done and edit don't make me the dick in this please uh second question you know you're being all right obviously i do i'm not an

idiot i'm just rude second point ice is the most paranormal element of all. And here we have a whole lake full of it. Obviously, something is going on here. Right. Well, frozen lakes aren't like, I mean, they're pretty common, actually. Right. But as I said, ice being the most paranormal element of all. Right. And we have a whole lake of paranormal going on right here.

To the point, I don't know many lakes where it's so freaking cold, a.k.a. paranormal, that the waves are freezing paranormal stasis, as I call it, as they crash onto the shore. Yeah, I mean, you know that the North Pole is entirely ice. So the North Pole isn't actually entirely ice and it's like a whole continent. Let's move past that. Why aren't we there but i will concede yes the uh the waves freezing on impact is uh at least paranormal at most science right right well one of those doesn't matter on this podcast so move on oh science good to see you again old chump uh why don't you check uh this out over here it's the window close the door to make room for the paranormal.

That was you in science. Is it cold in here? Freezing my ass off. That was you in science class. Rory, you've missed the last six classes. Here's all the notes from the last six classes that you're going to need. Oh, thank you so much, Professor. Do you mind if I just take these over?

Sure. So if I could just see if all the science can... Get out the window! Wow. Make way for the paranormal! I open up my vest. It's full of spiders. Oh, my God.

I think spiders are paranormal for some reason. They're definitely creepy. All of a sudden, the frogs in the biology class are going mad. We've got a frog-spider war in our hands. And I'm in the heart of it just going, Is this not paranormal i could explain to you why spiders aren't paranormal you're like how do they work i go my children get him and all the frogs and the spiders are going towards me he's like okay okay this is

this is paranormal i admit this this is weird uh i think that was my conclusion wow spiders okay right wait what was the what was the question is the lake real or something yeah i don't know what i think you're so busy writing a conclusion you didn't come to your own ironic isn't it these days so busy investigating the paranormal you never really investigated yourself. Hold on. Just because it's taking me a minute to come to a conclusion doesn't mean I don't know who I am. Spent so long uploading the podcast. You never downloaded love into your life. Huh, Mulvana?

You're so busy bit-turning porn. You're bit-turning a girlfriend. Hey! All right, you've crossed the line sir that's my personal life so busy jacking it all right all right i've presented some evidence um and as always we've got to come to a hard and fast conclusion as to whether this is truly paranormal or not we've definitely i think i was surprised in my own investigation that there was any evidence for the paranormal claims or in lake baikal it's definitely

fascinating the um declassified government documents right um we do have of course the ancient writings of the local tribes people and their claims of water beasts as well as modern claims of ufos flying all over and even jesus making an appearance frankly the only problem is that when it comes to anything more than sightings anything more than a quick photo of like a green light hovering over the lake right and things start to dry up pretty fast i mean the video of the gray there wasn't the most convincing thing i've ever seen in my life it was no the most convincing aspect of this tale is the um the navy divers who saw the humanoids underwater yeah it took the stories like level of paranormal from like a five to like a 12 i mean the consequences of if that's true

are so beyond insane that i feel like we need some more supporting evidence for that yeah it would literally change the history of mankind if true if true so i might like a picture yeah like more than one anecdote right that's it it's kind of there's a lot going on here there's one of these locations where there's a lot going on and you know some of it is very convincing you know these declassified military logs stories from locals about being blinded by lights seeing ufos these circles that have been documented on the surface of the ice granted this is the same location and the same people that are telling us that Jesus was at this lake.

Right. So you have to take everything they say with a grain of salt. And even when it comes to eyewitnesses, as we established, we are in a place where people's eyes are being frozen open. They cannot sleep. They are delirious. You hear all these stories about ghost ships from the pirate, from the drunken pirates with scurvy and seawater in their eyes. It's a bad combo.

They weren't even on a boat. Like they were just on the beach. The legendary Kraken was a mop and bucket that they fell into one night after drunkenly passing out. Davy Jones locker. That was just a regular locker that people got locked in but he got stuffed in by the jocks at his pirate school jesus pirate can you imagine what a teacher looks like at pirate school christ so as i said you know with those kind of witnesses you need to you need to take everything they say with a little grain of salt yeah i think salt

melts ice boom that was my conclusion what salt melts ice so if you take everything they say they're icy little breaths with a grain of salt the truth will appear once the ice has thawed you need to stop i know you're doing like a bit of poetry yeah i know you're doing a poetry class like i said doesn't work with the podcast don't don't really try and like shoehorn it in like that okay well if you think it works then it works i don't if you think it doesn't then well i'll do a different one then i'll do another one about fire okay go all right um uh all right this is if you're so eager to prove that the poetry will work for a conclusion instead of just a regular yes or no yeah fine this is uh my burning rose okay by roy powers this is my

conclusion to the episode yeah you really put me under pressure here yeah i'm really bad at these when you when you it's hard enough with pen and paper um uh upon thine window sunshine doth break good upon mine face your your stare does take too much of thine time right too much of mine rhymes okay forced it's is it the implication that she's taking up too much of my poetry oh because i'm obsessed this is almost nothing to do with the podcast you haven't mentioned the lake or in fact you've done the opposite you're talking a lot about fire in in thou's hot desert thou do burn you're starting over upon the sand where the cactuses yearn it's surprisingly good i'll be

honest to these ends we will never know on this week's podcast it is a no so just thank you you do a complete 180 we have to conclude with a poem every time bravo sir thank you thank you uh it's a no for me also oh shit and a poem do you want to do the do you want to do a poem or i feel like i do a poem you do a poem this is a safe space okay so anyway i'll i'll so start when you're ready um but soon because okay time is of the essence on the lake slow start on the lake repeating uh it's an f now just to let you know where you're at right it's a hard fail on the lake jesus did take his first steps right to icy depths oh humanoids strong start he did find okay and curse them all big change tribesmen paint into the snow this week this week's our motherfucking no

brought home in true style brother donut across the finish line it's an a goddamn star star star to reiterate it is a no today double no the evidence so far over the last two to three thousand years um does not seem to be enough to say that this is truly paranormal certified in the guinness book of paranormal facts unfortunately um but i would love to keep an eye on this one there seems to be you know evidence around this lake popping up every now and again on the papers so we'll keep a close eye if there's any ufo spottings absolutely dude there are no two words that turn me on more than declassified documents my god oh i'm getting hot just thinking about it yeah so the more we can do on declassified military documents the big trio the the better yeah so i'm i'm excited to move forward into this

communes um because sometimes you know if we've got a rival commune moving in our patch you know we just need to you know light a couple matches in the wrong places if you know what i'm saying exactly so you're referring to in our own commune. We don't burn anyone else's commune down. We burn down our commune and start a new cult. Yeah. No. We burn down our cult. We burn down our building

and move on to a new cult. Cult! You said cult again. I said it again. Louder, I think, that time. Editing this one out. Thanks, Flamin' Damon. It's definitely not a cult. But same thing.

Let's just call it that from now on. Camp not a cult. Because I feel like it needs to be black and white right on the front so people don't get scared off. What's more friendly than a big old sign saying definitely not a cult? Thank you also to Erky Lepra.

Basically, it was just that sentence. Cool. Thank you, Erky. Thank you also to Ryan Jimerson. Every morning when I wake up and I think, what do I want to do? I'm always faced with a dilemma. Jim or son? And I don't want to tell you how I live my life, but I'm pretty jacked.

My son's sad as shit. Sad and weak. Because he doesn't get to work out with his old man. I banned him from the gym. So Ryan, I don't know what the relationship is between you and your son, but Christ, I hope it's better than mine. Thank you, lastly, but not leastly, to Bridget Wilson. This is one of my favorite listeners,

because whenever life gives her a problem, she builds a Bridget and gets in over it. Then walks down the street, finds the paranormal peasants, and bing! One gold doubloon straight in the bucket. Bridget. Classy move. your structural integrity is 100 i appreciate i'm doing another bridge thing okay right uh i appreciate your support again like a

bridge thing uh and i and thank you for allowing me to cross the river of life. And thank you for making it financially possible for me to live under a bridge. That's not related to the bridge thing. That's just my life. That's just my life. Thank you to everyone we've shouted out today and everyone we are yet to shout out.
