From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know. A production of I Heart Brady. Oh Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt, my name is Noel. They called me Ben. We're joined as always with our super producer likes his code name dot Holiday Jackson. Most importantly, you are you. You are here, and that makes this the stuff they don't want you to know. It is one of our favorite times of the week when we get to hear from our fellow conspiracy realists across the globe, and we mean that in a very real way. Today we're going to follow up on some great voicemails we received. We're gonna talk a lot little bit about tasers, but not in the way you think. We're going to talk a little bit about mysterious Neolithic sites that we we think have to be a future episode. Uh. And then we're also going to dive into a very troubling story from our neighbors to the north in Canada. Heads up on that one there will We'll give you a disclaimer in the front because it may not be suitable for all audiences. But maybe we start out today with a voicemail because, as you know, folks, um, I was off doing some completely non sketchy stuff that we are not going to explain. Okay, guys, cool, thank you, thank you for better Fred and uh um. While doing that, you guys did an excellent roundup of some voicemails. And like we do whenever we do an all voicemail episode, there's so much amazing Sean stuff that we just can't quite get to because everyone is a rabbit hole all its own. Uh. And that's why I think we have We have some more voicemails that we we wanted to to share today. Is that correct? It is indeed, and we will start off with one from jingle. Hey, guys, this is I don't stop nickname. You can call me a jingle that'll work. Uh, give my voice on the air. I don't care matter. Uh sorry, I'm driving, but you guys were just talking about glitter. And I don't know why my brain knows this, but there is glitter in tasers, and it's glitter in tasers, and it has serial numbers on it or something so they can track shoutow taser or something. I don't know why my brain knows this, but you guys didn't mention it, and I thought it's all because the defense category, and I just thought I'd let you go. Now, Okay, that's all, have a good one later. Well, first of all, Jingle, I think all three of us can relate to not knowing why our brain knows certain things. Um. Yeah, and here we are glitter in tasers. I think it really was fascinating to all of us and a lot of listeners to the glitter conspiracy, the idea that there is some force out there that's buying all the glitter and why, and not to mention the pollutant aspect of it in microplastics and how much damn glitter there is in the shining sea. It's not shiny because of the glitter, but they're sure is a hell of a lot of the stuff in there. Um, so glitter in tasers. Uh. A cursory google of glitter in tasers will yield you some very glittery tasers. Let me tell you some delightfully bespoke, uh, you know, colorful glittery tasers. Because if you're gonna stun somebody in a submission. You might as well do it in style. That's that's what I say. Um, make it fun, you know, make it a statement about yourself as well, exactly. And if I mentioned I think I did when I was on the Daily Site guys recently, but maybe not on this show. Um. When I was a kid, I used to always go to this flea market and they'd have those booths that sell like knives and tasers and gun adjacent things, but not you know, guns all the way. But I remember seeing something that was called a taser knife. It was a knife with a built in taser, just in case, you know, tasing or stabbing weren't enough. It's a dual function device. There, I have one of those. Actually, no you don't. I had, Okay, I was about to say, what why just out of curiosity or out of curiosity you you you know me, guys. I like multifunctional stuff, you know that. So glitter and tasers didn't didn't get any hits um, which I was surprised by. So I dug a little bit deeper and I found a really great red thread on today I learned, um, and it says this, when a taser is fired, it releases tiny bits of uniquely numbered not glitter, but confetti. See I can see the the confusion there, or like it's easy to conflate confetti with glitter. They're tiny, particular things that are meant to cause a show and be like a kind of wow factor thing, So uniquely numbered confetti that correlate to the specific weapon. It can then allow Taser International this is a specific brand, uh that doesn't make the taser necessarily, but there's specific companies that make the cartridge inside the taser the same way like a printer has a you know, ink cartridge, a taser has like a taste cartridge. I guess I can then allow Taser International to track the sale of the specific weapon, which could lead police to the buyer. And when you look at these, they're a little round, um kind of cut out pieces of plastics, so presumably they're still in the league of microplastics. But they're not nearly as small as a piece of glitter because you can actually see the text on them, and they are multicolored. Uh, and presumably they shoot out but not And like this wouldn't that be fun though? If all tasers just shot out confetti when you use them. That'd be fun, it would be a fun way to get taste. Um. And then yeah, these are what are called micro tagg iNTS, Ben you um when we did the glitter episode, that was one of the possible uses kind of off the books, not necessarily off the books. It's it's legal, of course, but the company that has a certain type of one of these tagg ins doesn't want other companies to know because then it would confuse things that if any companies have the same ones. But then again, you think maybe they would want them to know so that they wouldn't use the same ones, because there's no no one's trying to cover anything up. If anything, they're trying to make it where they can trace the use of these weapons. But micro tagg iNTS, I believe, is the term been. Yeah, yeah, all that's right. And I love that you're bringing up this, uh this reddit thread because it talks also kind of tangentially about some of the issues with tag ins, which micro tagg ins or tag ins really are just what you what you describe. They can be any kind of serialized particle. Uh, they can help you trace the source of I guess a taser in this case, a taser manufacturer cartridge manufacturer. They can also be added to gunpowder as well. So this has this is low key been um an enormous controversy for a number of decades that you wouldn't really know about unless you are already sort of living in some aspect of that world. Yeah, that's right. And you know, presumably whatever tag ins are in gunpowder would be much much smaller, um, because it would have to be mixed in with the powder, which is not as small as a part were not as small as a particle gets, but quite small, smaller than a little round piece of plastic. With the taser though, it just needs to fire. And then presumably you could you know, use a magnifying glass and find them at the scene. Um, I guess I don't only think of tasers being used, And no, they certainly could be someone was maybe a kidnapping victim and they were tasted and then you know, taking hostage or throwing the back of a van. The police or detectives looking into the case could potentially figure out where the the stun gun was was purchased. And there's also there's a issue with it's a little conspiratorial. There's this idea that the n r A has put its hand in uh into the holes of Congress to stop any research into tagg ins or to stop and well, that part is true. The conspiracy is why they would do this. Yeah, it's it gets pretty sticky, pretty burkey, pretty quickly. Yeah. It always kind of blows my mind how the n r A gets, you know, a little bit persnicketty about things that would not be an issue to any law abiding gun user. Nice you we're saying, Yeah, I think one of the arguments that are a made in the gunpowder thing, which jingle is different of course from the taser stuff. One of the arguments he made regarding gunpowder was that inclusion of tagg ins might destabilize in some way the gunpowder, which potentially can make it less safe for the user use at least. Again, that's not us CO signing them, that's what they said. Well, in any case, um, not glitter, but I guess confetti or micro taggons, which does sound fun to your point, it does, and and and one of the things that we talked about in the glitter episode is specifically to glitter. You know, they're obviously different manufacturers, not that many. If you listen to the episode, you'll hear about that. Um. But if you had a proprietary type of glitter, then you would be able to you know, trace it back to that particular weapon. But you wouldn't necessarily want some other manufacturer using the same material because then it wouldn't you know, it might point in the wrong direction. And just really quickly from the same Reddit thread, there was a link to an article talking about a positive use of tagg ins. In nineteen seventy seven, four manufacturers of dynamite and liquid explosives used tag ins um in in their material. This is a three M. The tag ins were manufactured by three M rather uh and trace markers lead to the capture of a truck bomber in nineteen seventy nine. UM. This was the same year that the n r A pressured Congress to stop really, like you said, ben research into tagg ins. And this was after at nineteen eighty congressional report did find that tagg ins could increase arrests for bombings by as much as seventy But still in the n r A, you know, pushed back and if we're talking about there's you found uh excellent source here know about the specifics of tagg ins in tasers because our pal jingle is on the money here. It's not just you might not call them glitter necessarily, but these tasers are definitely ejecting something what uh like what percentage? How much? Because like you said, when when a taser is when a taser is fired, it's not shooting off a bunch of confetti, right, It doesn't seem like visible to people. No, that's all. The whole point is that it's not visible. And I love there's an acronym for it. We love an acronym apeids uh Anti Felony Identification devices. And in Bermuda UM which is the article that I found from the Bermuda News of Bermuda police officers are carrying tasers that have these aphids built into them. So how many how much confetti are we talking about when they fire? These? Only around twenty to thirty pieces, So you know that's enough that if you knew what you were looking for, there would be some nearby the scene, but not so many that like it would be obvious to anyone around. That's weird. Should come up with a new system that each taser has a specialized audio track that plays when it gets fired. Each one of them has a different like sound effect. Wow, the machine picked up this weird sound on our shot spotter sounded a lot like an elephant. Oh yeah, sir, we've matched it directly to this taser. Another thing was interesting again is that bermuda um source that you found. Another thing that caught my interest from there is that they talk about tasers having a data port and you can see the time and date of use and it it seems pretty precise, right, I mean, it doesn't tell you the location. It's not geo tagged. One would hope, and and and one would also. I mean we've I think I can't remember which one, but I've seen this in a number of different kind of future sci fi type things, situations where cops can't fire the gun until a threat has been confirmed. Um, no, I know it was. It was Watchman. In the Watchman television series kind of prequel, there was a whole situation where a cop got killed by a terrorist outfit because he couldn't get his gun to release. So in this future where cops are kind of, you know, heavily policed, Uh, this ended up being an issue, um, because they actually couldn't deploy the weapon in time to protect themselves. So it was an interesting kind of like counterpoint, is that an insane idea to have that same kind of data port required on all new weapons manufactured. Oh, I don't think it. It's kind of what I was getting at there. There would be a better way to do it, at the very least to hold the officers accountable in the same way you would with body cam. But we also keep seeing these incidents where why is there no body cam footage and why is the data? Was the data poor? Oh? No, that the USB card was deleted, you know, like it just seems like it's not necessarily always going to you know, be helpful if the system doesn't really require it, you know, if there's ways around it anyway, Jingle, thank you for this is a really great kind of dovetail to our microtaggons conversation and where does the Glitter Go conversation. Um, we're gonna take a quick break and then come back with another piece of listener mail. And we have returned with an email from ghost. As we said at the top of this listener mail segment. Uh, this is the warning, the disclaimer. Uh, this is pretty arc stuff. It may not be appropriate for all members of the audience today, but we did feel it is important. We do feel it's crucial to communicate this kind of information, especially this is the stuff that parts of the Canadian government do not want you to know. So we're going to share, uh, We're going to share Ghosts missive to us. We're going to mention some of the sources. Uh. And we'll keep this part a little bit brief because this is probably an episode in the future. Here we go, Ghosts says, you can call me ghost. While I usually enjoy spooky fun, what I'm about to say is by no means an easy, breezy campfire story. There have been reports of many elderly, physically disabled, mentally ill, and veterans being coerced into made we Love, an acronym medically assisted in death. They've been coerced into medically assisted deaths by government employee who are supposed to help US Canadians in finding and using the services we need to achieve better fulfillment in our lives. Ghosts says, I first heard about this in CBC Radio's White Coat, Black Art, where a woman's sister was experiencing early onset Alzheimer's opted for made after mentioning it despite being a fully functional woman. What Ghost is saying here is that the sister in this case, her sibling was having early onset alzheimer and then was opted for it. This was a coerced death. Many of these course deaths can be avoided if we have better social and public services available. Ontario Disability Support Program or o DSP is barely enough to pay rent, let alone groceries ad a phone bill. And if you've listened to previous episodes, especially on foreign investment in real estate, then you know that our neighbors to the north and Canada, many of whom are listening today, are experiencing skyrocketing housing prices worse than here. Yes, in some in some areas, yeah, it beggars belief. If you look at the prices. A lot of people, probably around our age, are facing the harsh reality that it will be impossible financially to buy a home without moving far afield. So so Ghost continues and says many are choosing death instead of becoming homeless. I find it upsetting. This oddly has become a conservative talking point when it should be everyone's concerned. Most liberal voters don't want to acknowledge the issue because the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is not being held accountable under Trudeau. This really drives home why we should never idolize anyone in power, because we lose sight of actions through policy and are easily placated with sensationalist sound bites. Preach to the people. Ghost, that's us at totalizing. That's because Trudeau was kind of a darling, a bit, a bit of a golden calf. Yeah, and please dig deep before voting and donating to people competing for power, pay attention to who their friends, family, career history, and voting records are. Canada is not the bastion of social democracy everyone thinks it is. Every day, both liberal and conservative parties make deals to sell out our public services, leaving the working poor to be caught in the undertow. And Ghosts continues and says below, I've, you know, supplied some links. Uh, these links are pretty disturbing. Want to give special mention to the CBC article or some of the CBC radio stuff that that ghost has talked about. Here. One piece, the piece White co Black Art, talks about how this family learned their loved one had medically assisted death only after the fact. That is some stopian stuff, right now, I see your face there too. I was making the same I was confused by that. Yeah, I'm still a little confused, Like, how does that happen? How do you opt for something after you're dead? No? No, the family found out. No. But what I'm saying is like, there's a d n R. Do you know? You know that's like a legal, legally binding thing. You know, the hospital isn't at liberty to in someone's life that way unless they have the permission of the family. Right, And this family, the story centers on three siblings, one of whom died without the knowledge of the other two siblings was put to death. And then there's uh, there's another CBC Radio like the White co Black Art thing is a series, right, and another one from focuses on changes to assisted dying in Canada, specifically something called Bill C seven. It expands medical assistance in dying to some people whose deaths are not foreseeable reasonably foreseeable, meaning it's not necessarily a terminal condition. Where the question is quality of life. It's that this person might not die, but they're going to get medical assistance in dying. Anyhow, Yeah, that's that's really tough, because I feel like it's a good thing to have as an option. I think it's a good thing, the choice to end your own life if you want to, and your agency in making. But again, it feels like one of the pillars of that is to make others aware, like that it's going, that it's coming, that it's going to happen, and it's your choice. That's yeah. But I mean, like I was saying about the d n R, like when my mother was, you know, not able to communicate for herself in the hospital, um, the you know, the little staff asked me if we had a d n R, you know, and I had to go find the paperwork and present that to them in order to show that I was the one who could give the thumbs up or thumbs down, you know, for the d n R. And that's something that's given. Agency is given to a family member so that in the event that the person can't speak for themselves, their wishes are known. In my situation, we didn't even have the request for the paperwork. There was a call to make and it's it's an unenviable place to be. It's it's not a situation you ever want to be in with the left one. But the question is what is the line between say we're giving someone agency and then essentially coercing them, Right, there was one. There's another story that ghost linked to and again this will have to be an episode. We do need your help with this Canadian conspiracy realist. Uh, there was an armed a veteran of the Armed Forces in Canada who had e T s D and had a traumatic brain injury. Went to the v A Veterans Affairs Canada and they said, hey, we can help you in your life, which is not what this guy was looking for. Geez. And again this this veteran was did not take that option and and the v A released the v a C, I should say, released a statement. This is in August of the v a C released a statement saying there was an incident where quote medical assistance in dying was discussed inappropriately with the veteran and said administrative action will be taken. Again. To your point, Matt, like what I'm describing with this DNR stuff, this is legal language youth and asia isn't technically legal in the United States. So someone can't be like I'm suffering with cancer and I want to seek professional all help in ending my life. That's not a thing. There was, you know, the whole doctor death whatever, I forget his name. There's a there's a yeah, co working and of course with Alpacino. Sorry, I always have to bring everything back to the person that played them in TV. But yeah, like it's still not technically legal, but yet it does kind of exist as a way of covering the butts of medical professionals, you know, because then they can kind of do it, but they can't do it when the person is suffering and wants to for themselves. Right. Also called assisted suicide, euthanasia is currently against the law in all fifty U s States, but it is uh. Assisting in a suicide is considered legal intend jurisdictions in the US. It's it's strange. The law is strange because of course, this is an uncomfortable thing to contemplate. No one wants to be in that situation, honestly, and people who make that choice, right, they are they are making that choice for themselves, right, the ideas that they are not being coerced into that, they're also not being coerced into continuing in existence if they would rather there be an alternative, and we want to be careful about how we talk about this, but one thing that goes point out that really really sticks out here is that the idea that this veteran came for assistance in living, in fixing the quality of life and was unprompted told hey, there's also this way we can just help you cut out early. The scary thing is that that may indicate this was not an isolated incident. So we don't know how many people called Canada's v A and got the same kind of the same kind of offer, and at what point does that again, at what point does that move from here are some options to here's what you should do to coercion. And there's a reason that a lot of science fiction focuses on very powerful state uh, very powerful state forces that kind of push some sort of suicide program on residents right when they become when they become not useful to whatever that state is. You can talk about Logan's run, you can talk about all these other things, but we also have to remember this happened in ancient civilizations as well. You know, when people are considered not no longer useful members of a tribe or community were told to go out into the woods, you know what I mean? Or Yeah. The question then becomes is this systemic or is this just a couple of isolated Yeah, isolated events. Yeah, I agree with you, guys, and UM, that's why we're going to What we're really doing here is we're raising a flag UH. And we would like to hear from you, fellow conspiracy realist with any experience of any sort with made uh in medical assistance in dying in Canada. Let us know your story. We'll tell you how to contact us at the end of the show. UH. And then we're going to return in the future with an episode that delves into this again very controversial, dangerous subject. In the meantime, we're going to take a pause for a word from our sponsors, will return with one more message from you, and then because we did want to end, don down note. I think we have a message at the very very end through a person who should not be proud of themselves. And we're back and we are jumping to a message we received from Nile, Hey Ben and everybody else. This is Nile style in Santa fe Um. Just curious if you could ever do an episode on the shape the Taurus. There's a lot of interesting stuff in Adam's calendar. Think about the planet itself in a magnetic field, the electromagnetic field around the planet, the Taurus, the eyeball taurusts. If you do your research, you're gonna find a lot of really interesting things just about you know, I'm sure it would lend itself to many many jokes about donuts, So check it out. All right, that was like, what the Ford Taurus? That's the one I know about. No, not the shape t O r us. Oh okay, sorry, I googled the wrong thing. Let's see t O r u s. It's a doughnut. Sure is like it was? Okay, it's like, don't it often has specific mathematics associated with it. Uh that I don't comprehend in the slightest But yes, it resembles the most perfect donut you've ever seen. There, You've probably never seen one as perfect as this Taurus. But it's it's pretty cool. It's a really interesting shape, interesting symbol that has been around for a long time. And I love Nile. What you're saying or Nile style, excuse me what you're saying here about potential shape of the universe. Uh, this shape being representative in in ancient culture for very special things, very important things. Uh. There's a lot of digging to do here, guys, that I have not done yet fully. But something really at my ear. When Nile was speaking there, he said, there's a lot in the Adams calendar, and what is the Atoms calendar. I don't know what that is? What is that thing? So I went down that little rabbit hole for a minute, and guys, there's some really fascinating stuff that we need to talk about. Okay, we gotta talk about it. We're going to South Africa to check out this thing called Adams Calendar. It's known as several other things. That has many other names. That is how you'll hear it be spoken about in the Western Western culture. It's a megalithic stone structure. Okay, imagine like a stonehenge, but different some standing stones, many of them much smaller, uh, stones like individual stones. But the reason why it's called Adams calendar is because it is thought perhaps to have represented a way to measure or measure time. Really, and like a lot of these other megalithic sites, it's all about the sun in the shadow Georgia guidestones. They talk about the keystone or whatever, the caps, the you know, the whole in at the contract. It was apparently done quite imperfectly. But it's it's the same concept, well it is it. It is the same concept. So depending on where the shadow is cast, you can really tell a lot about the time of year. So theoretically, at least according to people who have looked at this thing, you could tell when winter solstice is supposed to be occurring, where the equinoxes are supposed to occur, when the start of a year is and all this stuff. It's super cool to me because when it was first created, like when, oh it also matched up with some constellations, I believe there's there's theories about that. But when it was first created, the stars were in a specific place, right because of the way the earth wobbles, the stars do change change up in the night sky in their location where they are. Um, there's all kinds of small variances that are going to change, like what what the sky looks like over a large span of years. And the big question here is when was this thing actually built? And because there are some people who think it's a lot older than others. And if you believe everybody, or at least a couple of these researchers people have been looking at it, it could be around seventy five thousand years old. But this is a man made stone structure, right, and the implications of it being that old, I don't know. It's pretty cool, It's pretty pretty cool because this thing, at least it's thought to predate the Pyramids at Giza, so the Great Pyramids, it's thought to predate a lot of these other mega structures that exist on the planet, which would honestly make sense just given what we know about the the evolution and the spread of Homo sapiens and all its all its various mixtapes. We also know that I think the the first astronomical site in general acknowledged was on the African continent, and the first attempts at a calendar, those sticks that we talked about in the calendar heist also African and origin right, also from that continent, which again makes sense. And then we I'm just I'm free so on a little bit here, just connecting some dots, Matt. We also know that European and Arab forces spent a lot of time trying to downplay the ingenuity and the sophistication of earlier African civilizations and scientific discoveries, so we could totally see I think it's completely within the bounds of logic to say this thing was ignored, and once it was ignored, people just kept ignoring it. Maybe they didn't ask too many questions. Maybe people made some BS claims and nobody bothered to investigate them. Yeah, oh, dogs, people, let's talk about the English version that old hinge. You know it's a big up. Yeah, this supposedly older than Stonehenge. If that thing really is seventy five thousand years old, then it far out classes Stonehenge, which is thought to be around five thousand, which I didn't think I would be like on Stonehenge today. But now now we're anchored in seventy five thousand, we hear five thousand, and we're like whatever. Well, here's the big wrinkle for me, guys, where it really got crazy. If you head on over to ancient dash origins dot net, you can go there and check it out. I'm not saying this is the best source, but this person we're going to talk about is cited all over the place on the Internet. But there's a writer researcher named Michael Tellinger. Maybe it's telling her. I think it's Talinger, uh, but he has estimated that they might be as old as a hundred thousand years, if not more. And I've never heard of this. I've never heard of this. I had never heard of it either until our friend Nile there mentioned it. And it does feel it feels like something we need to look at and maybe really bring some answers to because according to Atlas Obscura in several other outlets, Michael Tellinger's findings or his beliefs maybe about the age of the structure are a little off and they have been widely disputed, which I don't want to fully take the mystery and the excitement out of it, but we are this is something we're gonna have to look at, like could it possibly be that old? If it was that old, what are the implications, um, and what evidence is there to show that it was perhaps that old? At the very least, it does do what it's purported to do to some degree, right, Like it's it's a raid in a way that tracks these you know changes, celestial changes that you're talking about. Yes, absolutely so If you head on over to ancient dash origins dot net, you can see a pretty cool diagram I guess it states that's from Rodney Hale. It's a plan that was I guess generated, and it shows you what the thing looks like where the winter solstice sunrise is going to appear with regards to the stone circle, where due east is and due west. And it does look like the thing was built much like the Pyramids of Giza and several other structures like this, where north is north like actual north. It's the top of the thing is actually pointed north and the the bottom has actually pointed south, east and west the same. So people who built it, however long ago, we're aware in some way, we're aware of true north and south and all of that. Fascinating. Yeah, and I'm learning about this now, Matt. I'd never heard of this, thank you know. All of this is um I think this is a new one for all of us, Matt. Had you heard of this before? And you know, honestly, Uh, I want to go, like, let's go to South Africa. I want to see this thing. There's so many places or like maybe too, this is weird, but I want to go to like England and do Stonehenge. I want to go to Ireland and check out some of these standing stones mounds, those Larnie Stone I heard it's super cool. Yes, no, no, you want to see these other I want to see these underwater pyramids too. From that listener. Unfortunately don't don't exist. They don't exist probably, but there's a cool photoshop associated with them. Okay, well that just makes it easier. Let's figure out the ones that are legitimate. Um, and by legitimate, let's define that as not the claims made about them, but their existence. Right. Uh that Yeah, we have learning now a little bit more about Tallenger are also pretty active in politics. Huh, well, we've got to save it. Yeah, this is this is amazing. This is the kind of stuff that I think we all love and hopefully you love it as much as we do. Hearing about these these new things off the beaten path. You know, that's that's the stuff that we want to explore with you. Matt, I think, no, you're with it with him. Two, let's go. Let's go around the world. We need the world tour somehow, and it may not be you know, it may not be um as prestigious as going to London or something like that, but honestly, who cares. Let's go to the weird places. Let's go to the places most people don't go for sure, for sure, and especially this Poma Lnga region in South Africa. There are so many standing stone and other stone structures. There's estimately to be like thousands that are right in that region. So I just want to go. Let's take a couple of historians and just get out there. Also, for fellow fans of cryptids, let's not forget maybe not so much South Africa, but if you get to the west of the African continent, that's one of the places where land based cryptids are most likely to exist. Let's do it. So we're on the case. So thank you, of course to Jingle, Thank you too, Nile, Thank you to Ghosts for writing in. Thank you to everybody who wrote in except for one, except for Monster. You. Monster took us up on it, took us took us up on our earlier offer where we know we were opening a door or we said we love puns. We love We had a conversation about the inherent goodness or badness of puns, and we talked about how we love dad jokes, bad jokes. We were very no pun, no joke left behind. Uh, And then we received the following message from an absolute villain who wants us to give them a different quote, different name that's funny. So here we go. Hello, my name is redacted, but please make up a different name that's funny. It will be my code name if I correspond with you in the future. Gentlemen, I suggest that we share the joke and then we decide the code name after the joke. What do you think I've got a code name already. But yeah, let's do it. Oh okay, no, no, no, go ahead, go ahead? Yeah? What is it? Agent Winter? Agent Winter Intrigue? So all right, so Agent Winter says, this isn't much of a pun, but more of a dad joke. Maybe I was in a room and I heard it toot, but I was the only one in the room. Someone else has to do. Then we have to do it an an accent. I think that's the only way this works. I'll do it in an accent. You ready as that goes? So I was in a room and I heard it too, but I was the only one in the room. So I looked at the clock and it was to tan, tut to tin, to tin get it. Two tens to the clock was tut to tan. I don't think we're good. I don't think we have a good winter. Oh my gosh, no, we need another whomp whomp holiday. So well, we opened the door and fair is fair. We got what we so thank you, thank you. We're cracking at you a little bit, Agia Winter, but thank you so much. It made our day. Um there made our evening as it were. We want you to join the show with us. This is where we get some of the best ideas for future episodes. They come from you, specifically you and your fellow conspiracy realists.

We're joined as always with our super producer likes his code name dot Holiday Jackson. Most importantly, you are you. You are here, and that makes this the stuff they don't want you to know. It is one of our favorite times of the week when we get to hear from our fellow conspiracy realists across the globe, and we mean that in a very real way. Today we're going to follow up on some great voicemails we received. We're gonna talk a lot little bit about tasers, but not in the way you think. We're going to talk a little bit about mysterious Neolithic sites that we we think have to be a future episode. Uh. And then we're also going to dive into a very troubling story from our neighbors to the north in Canada. Heads up on that one there will We'll give you a disclaimer in the front because it may not be suitable for all audiences. But maybe we start out today with a voicemail because, as you know, folks, um, I was off doing some completely non sketchy stuff that we are not going to explain. Okay, guys, cool, thank you, thank you for better Fred and uh um. While doing that, you guys did an excellent roundup of some voicemails. And like we do whenever we do an all voicemail episode, there's so much amazing Sean stuff that we just can't quite get to because everyone is a rabbit hole all its own. Uh. And that's why I think we have We have some more voicemails that we we wanted to to share today. Is that correct? It is indeed, and we will start off with one from jingle. Hey, guys, this is I don't stop nickname. You can call me a jingle that'll work. Uh, give my voice on the air. I don't care matter. Uh sorry, I'm driving, but you guys were just talking about glitter. And I don't know why my brain knows this, but there is glitter in tasers, and it's glitter in tasers, and it has serial numbers on it or something so they can track shoutow taser or something. I don't know why my brain knows this, but you guys didn't mention it, and I thought it's all because the defense category, and I just thought I'd let you go. Now, Okay, that's all, have a good one later. Well, first of all, Jingle, I think all three of us can relate to not knowing why our brain knows certain things. Um. Yeah, and here we are glitter in tasers. I think it really was fascinating to all of us and a lot of listeners to the glitter conspiracy, the idea that there is some force out there that's buying all the glitter and why, and not to mention the pollutant aspect of it in microplastics and how much damn glitter there is in the shining sea. It's not shiny because of the glitter, but they're sure is a hell of a lot of the stuff in there. Um, so glitter in tasers. Uh. A cursory google of glitter in tasers will yield you some very glittery tasers. Let me tell you some delightfully bespoke, uh, you know, colorful glittery tasers. Because if you're gonna stun somebody in a submission. You might as well do it in style. That's that's what I say. Um, make it fun, you know, make it a statement about yourself as well, exactly. And if I mentioned I think I did when I was on the Daily Site guys recently, but maybe not on this show. Um. When I was a kid, I used to always go to this flea market and they'd have those booths that sell like knives and tasers and gun adjacent things, but not you know, guns all the way. But I remember seeing something that was called a taser knife. It was a knife with a built in taser, just in case, you know, tasing or stabbing weren't enough. It's a dual function device. There, I have one of those. Actually, no you don't. I had, Okay, I was about to say, what why just out of curiosity or out of curiosity you you you know me, guys. I like multifunctional stuff, you know that. So glitter and tasers didn't didn't get any hits um, which I was surprised by. So I dug a little bit deeper and I found a really great red thread on today I learned, um, and it says this, when a taser is fired, it releases tiny bits of uniquely numbered not glitter, but confetti. See I can see the the confusion there, or like it's easy to conflate confetti with glitter. They're tiny, particular things that are meant to cause a show and be like a kind of wow factor thing, So uniquely numbered confetti that correlate to the specific weapon. It can then allow Taser International this is a specific brand, uh that doesn't make the taser necessarily, but there's specific companies that make the cartridge inside the taser the same way like a printer has a you know, ink cartridge, a taser has like a taste cartridge. I guess I can then allow Taser International to track the sale of the specific weapon, which could lead police to the buyer. And when you look at these, they're a little round, um kind of cut out pieces of plastics, so presumably they're still in the league of microplastics. But they're not nearly as small as a piece of glitter because you can actually see the text on them, and they are multicolored. Uh, and presumably they shoot out but not And like this wouldn't that be fun though? If all tasers just shot out confetti when you use them. That'd be fun, it would be a fun way to get taste. Um. And then yeah, these are what are called micro tagg iNTS, Ben you um when we did the glitter episode, that was one of the possible uses kind of off the books, not necessarily off the books. It's it's legal, of course, but the company that has a certain type of one of these tagg ins doesn't want other companies to know because then it would confuse things that if any companies have the same ones. But then again, you think maybe they would want them to know so that they wouldn't use the same ones, because there's no no one's trying to cover anything up. If anything, they're trying to make it where they can trace the use of these weapons. But micro tagg iNTS, I believe, is the term been. Yeah, yeah, all that's right. And I love that you're bringing up this, uh this reddit thread because it talks also kind of tangentially about some of the issues with tag ins, which micro tagg ins or tag ins really are just what you what you describe. They can be any kind of serialized particle. Uh, they can help you trace the source of I guess a taser in this case, a taser manufacturer cartridge manufacturer. They can also be added to gunpowder as well. So this has this is low key been um an enormous controversy for a number of decades that you wouldn't really know about unless you are already sort of living in some aspect of that world. Yeah, that's right. And you know, presumably whatever tag ins are in gunpowder would be much much smaller, um, because it would have to be mixed in with the powder, which is not as small as a part were not as small as a particle gets, but quite small, smaller than a little round piece of plastic. With the taser though, it just needs to fire. And then presumably you could you know, use a magnifying glass and find them at the scene. Um, I guess I don't only think of tasers being used, And no, they certainly could be someone was maybe a kidnapping victim and they were tasted and then you know, taking hostage or throwing the back of a van. The police or detectives looking into the case could potentially figure out where the the stun gun was was purchased. And there's also there's a issue with it's a little conspiratorial. There's this idea that the n r A has put its hand in uh into the holes of Congress to stop any research into tagg ins or to stop and well, that part is true. The conspiracy is why they would do this. Yeah, it's it gets pretty sticky, pretty burkey, pretty quickly. Yeah. It always kind of blows my mind how the n r A gets, you know, a little bit persnicketty about things that would not be an issue to any law abiding gun user. Nice you we're saying, Yeah, I think one of the arguments that are a made in the gunpowder thing, which jingle is different of course from the taser stuff. One of the arguments he made regarding gunpowder was that inclusion of tagg ins might destabilize in some way the gunpowder, which potentially can make it less safe for the user use at least. Again, that's not us CO signing them, that's what they said. Well, in any case, um, not glitter, but I guess confetti or micro taggons, which does sound fun to your point, it does, and and and one of the things that we talked about in the glitter episode is specifically to glitter. You know, they're obviously different manufacturers, not that many. If you listen to the episode, you'll hear about that. Um. But if you had a proprietary type of glitter, then you would be able to you know, trace it back to that particular weapon. But you wouldn't necessarily want some other manufacturer using the same material because then it wouldn't you know, it might point in the wrong direction. And just really quickly from the same Reddit thread, there was a link to an article talking about a positive use of tagg ins. In nineteen seventy seven, four manufacturers of dynamite and liquid explosives used tag ins um in in their material. This is a three M. The tag ins were manufactured by three M rather uh and trace markers lead to the capture of a truck bomber in nineteen seventy nine. UM. This was the same year that the n r A pressured Congress to stop really, like you said, ben research into tagg ins. And this was after at nineteen eighty congressional report did find that tagg ins could increase arrests for bombings by as much as seventy But still in the n r A, you know, pushed back and if we're talking about there's you found uh excellent source here know about the specifics of tagg ins in tasers because our pal jingle is on the money here. It's not just you might not call them glitter necessarily, but these tasers are definitely ejecting something what uh like what percentage? How much? Because like you said, when when a taser is when a taser is fired, it's not shooting off a bunch of confetti, right, It doesn't seem like visible to people. No, that's all. The whole point is that it's not visible. And I love there's an acronym for it. We love an acronym apeids uh Anti Felony Identification devices. And in Bermuda UM which is the article that I found from the Bermuda News of Bermuda police officers are carrying tasers that have these aphids built into them. So how many how much confetti are we talking about when they fire? These? Only around twenty to thirty pieces, So you know that's enough that if you knew what you were looking for, there would be some nearby the scene, but not so many that like it would be obvious to anyone around. That's weird. Should come up with a new system that each taser has a specialized audio track that plays when it gets fired. Each one of them has a different like sound effect. Wow, the machine picked up this weird sound on our shot spotter sounded a lot like an elephant. Oh yeah, sir, we've matched it directly to this taser. Another thing was interesting again is that bermuda um source that you found. Another thing that caught my interest from there is that they talk about tasers having a data port and you can see the time and date of use and it it seems pretty precise, right, I mean, it doesn't tell you the location. It's not geo tagged. One would hope, and and and one would also. I mean we've I think I can't remember which one, but I've seen this in a number of different kind of future sci fi type things, situations where cops can't fire the gun until a threat has been confirmed. Um, no, I know it was. It was Watchman. In the Watchman television series kind of prequel, there was a whole situation where a cop got killed by a terrorist outfit because he couldn't get his gun to release. So in this future where cops are kind of, you know, heavily policed, Uh, this ended up being an issue, um, because they actually couldn't deploy the weapon in time to protect themselves. So it was an interesting kind of like counterpoint, is that an insane idea to have that same kind of data port required on all new weapons manufactured. Oh, I don't think it. It's kind of what I was getting at there. There would be a better way to do it, at the very least to hold the officers accountable in the same way you would with body cam. But we also keep seeing these incidents where why is there no body cam footage and why is the data? Was the data poor? Oh? No, that the USB card was deleted, you know, like it just seems like it's not necessarily always going to you know, be helpful if the system doesn't really require it, you know, if there's ways around it anyway, Jingle, thank you for this is a really great kind of dovetail to our microtaggons conversation and where does the Glitter Go conversation. Um, we're gonna take a quick break and then come back with another piece of listener mail. And we have returned with an email from ghost. As we said at the top of this listener mail segment. Uh, this is the warning, the disclaimer. Uh, this is pretty arc stuff. It may not be appropriate for all members of the audience today, but we did feel it is important. We do feel it's crucial to communicate this kind of information, especially this is the stuff that parts of the Canadian government do not want you to know. So we're going to share, uh, We're going to share Ghosts missive to us. We're going to mention some of the sources. Uh. And we'll keep this part a little bit brief because this is probably an episode in the future. Here we go, Ghosts says, you can call me ghost. While I usually enjoy spooky fun, what I'm about to say is by no means an easy, breezy campfire story. There have been reports of many elderly, physically disabled, mentally ill, and veterans being coerced into made we Love, an acronym medically assisted in death. They've been coerced into medically assisted deaths by government employee who are supposed to help US Canadians in finding and using the services we need to achieve better fulfillment in our lives. Ghosts says, I first heard about this in CBC Radio's White Coat, Black Art, where a woman's sister was experiencing early onset Alzheimer's opted for made after mentioning it despite being a fully functional woman. What Ghost is saying here is that the sister in this case, her sibling was having early onset alzheimer and then was opted for it. This was a coerced death. Many of these course deaths can be avoided if we have better social and public services available. Ontario Disability Support Program or o DSP is barely enough to pay rent, let alone groceries ad a phone bill. And if you've listened to previous episodes, especially on foreign investment in real estate, then you know that our neighbors to the north and Canada, many of whom are listening today, are experiencing skyrocketing housing prices worse than here. Yes, in some in some areas, yeah, it beggars belief. If you look at the prices. A lot of people, probably around our age, are facing the harsh reality that it will be impossible financially to buy a home without moving far afield. So so Ghost continues and says many are choosing death instead of becoming homeless. I find it upsetting. This oddly has become a conservative talking point when it should be everyone's concerned. Most liberal voters don't want to acknowledge the issue because the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is not being held accountable under Trudeau. This really drives home why we should never idolize anyone in power, because we lose sight of actions through policy and are easily placated with sensationalist sound bites. Preach to the people. Ghost, that's us at totalizing. That's because Trudeau was kind of a darling, a bit, a bit of a golden calf. Yeah, and please dig deep before voting and donating to people competing for power, pay attention to who their friends, family, career history, and voting records are. Canada is not the bastion of social democracy everyone thinks it is. Every day, both liberal and conservative parties make deals to sell out our public services, leaving the working poor to be caught in the undertow. And Ghosts continues and says below, I've, you know, supplied some links. Uh, these links are pretty disturbing. Want to give special mention to the CBC article or some of the CBC radio stuff that that ghost has talked about. Here. One piece, the piece White co Black Art, talks about how this family learned their loved one had medically assisted death only after the fact. That is some stopian stuff, right now, I see your face there too. I was making the same I was confused by that. Yeah, I'm still a little confused, Like, how does that happen? How do you opt for something after you're dead? No? No, the family found out. No. But what I'm saying is like, there's a d n R. Do you know? You know that's like a legal, legally binding thing. You know, the hospital isn't at liberty to in someone's life that way unless they have the permission of the family. Right, And this family, the story centers on three siblings, one of whom died without the knowledge of the other two siblings was put to death. And then there's uh, there's another CBC Radio like the White co Black Art thing is a series, right, and another one from focuses on changes to assisted dying in Canada, specifically something called Bill C seven. It expands medical assistance in dying to some people whose deaths are not foreseeable reasonably foreseeable, meaning it's not necessarily a terminal condition. Where the question is quality of life. It's that this person might not die, but they're going to get medical assistance in dying. Anyhow, Yeah, that's that's really tough, because I feel like it's a good thing to have as an option. I think it's a good thing, the choice to end your own life if you want to, and your agency in making. But again, it feels like one of the pillars of that is to make others aware, like that it's going, that it's coming, that it's going to happen, and it's your choice. That's yeah. But I mean, like I was saying about the d n R, like when my mother was, you know, not able to communicate for herself in the hospital, um, the you know, the little staff asked me if we had a d n R, you know, and I had to go find the paperwork and present that to them in order to show that I was the one who could give the thumbs up or thumbs down, you know, for the d n R. And that's something that's given. Agency is given to a family member so that in the event that the person can't speak for themselves, their wishes are known. In my situation, we didn't even have the request for the paperwork. There was a call to make and it's it's an unenviable place to be. It's it's not a situation you ever want to be in with the left one. But the question is what is the line between say we're giving someone agency and then essentially coercing them, Right, there was one. There's another story that ghost linked to and again this will have to be an episode. We do need your help with this Canadian conspiracy realist. Uh, there was an armed a veteran of the Armed Forces in Canada who had e T s D and had a traumatic brain injury. Went to the v A Veterans Affairs Canada and they said, hey, we can help you in your life, which is not what this guy was looking for. Geez. And again this this veteran was did not take that option and and the v A released the v a C, I should say, released a statement. This is in August of the v a C released a statement saying there was an incident where quote medical assistance in dying was discussed inappropriately with the veteran and said administrative action will be taken. Again. To your point, Matt, like what I'm describing with this DNR stuff, this is legal language youth and asia isn't technically legal in the United States. So someone can't be like I'm suffering with cancer and I want to seek professional all help in ending my life. That's not a thing. There was, you know, the whole doctor death whatever, I forget his name. There's a there's a yeah, co working and of course with Alpacino. Sorry, I always have to bring everything back to the person that played them in TV. But yeah, like it's still not technically legal, but yet it does kind of exist as a way of covering the butts of medical professionals, you know, because then they can kind of do it, but they can't do it when the person is suffering and wants to for themselves. Right. Also called assisted suicide, euthanasia is currently against the law in all fifty U s States, but it is uh. Assisting in a suicide is considered legal intend jurisdictions in the US. It's it's strange. The law is strange because of course, this is an uncomfortable thing to contemplate. No one wants to be in that situation, honestly, and people who make that choice, right, they are they are making that choice for themselves, right, the ideas that they are not being coerced into that, they're also not being coerced into continuing in existence if they would rather there be an alternative, and we want to be careful about how we talk about this, but one thing that goes point out that really really sticks out here is that the idea that this veteran came for assistance in living, in fixing the quality of life and was unprompted told hey, there's also this way we can just help you cut out early. The scary thing is that that may indicate this was not an isolated incident. So we don't know how many people called Canada's v A and got the same kind of the same kind of offer, and at what point does that again, at what point does that move from here are some options to here's what you should do to coercion. And there's a reason that a lot of science fiction focuses on very powerful state uh, very powerful state forces that kind of push some sort of suicide program on residents right when they become when they become not useful to whatever that state is. You can talk about Logan's run, you can talk about all these other things, but we also have to remember this happened in ancient civilizations as well. You know, when people are considered not no longer useful members of a tribe or community were told to go out into the woods, you know what I mean? Or Yeah. The question then becomes is this systemic or is this just a couple of isolated Yeah, isolated events. Yeah, I agree with you, guys, and UM, that's why we're going to What we're really doing here is we're raising a flag UH. And we would like to hear from you, fellow conspiracy realist with any experience of any sort with made uh in medical assistance in dying in Canada. Let us know your story. We'll tell you how to contact us at the end of the show. UH. And then we're going to return in the future with an episode that delves into this again very controversial, dangerous subject. In the meantime, we're going to take a pause for a word from our sponsors, will return with one more message from you, and then because we did want to end, don down note. I think we have a message at the very very end through a person who should not be proud of themselves. And we're back and we are jumping to a message we received from Nile, Hey Ben and everybody else. This is Nile style in Santa fe Um. Just curious if you could ever do an episode on the shape the Taurus. There's a lot of interesting stuff in Adam's calendar. Think about the planet itself in a magnetic field, the electromagnetic field around the planet, the Taurus, the eyeball taurusts. If you do your research, you're gonna find a lot of really interesting things just about you know, I'm sure it would lend itself to many many jokes about donuts, So check it out. All right, that was like, what the Ford Taurus? That's the one I know about. No, not the shape t O r us. Oh okay, sorry, I googled the wrong thing. Let's see t O r u s. It's a doughnut. Sure is like it was? Okay, it's like, don't it often has specific mathematics associated with it. Uh that I don't comprehend in the slightest But yes, it resembles the most perfect donut you've ever seen. There, You've probably never seen one as perfect as this Taurus. But it's it's pretty cool. It's a really interesting shape, interesting symbol that has been around for a long time. And I love Nile. What you're saying or Nile style, excuse me what you're saying here about potential shape of the universe. Uh, this shape being representative in in ancient culture for very special things, very important things. Uh. There's a lot of digging to do here, guys, that I have not done yet fully. But something really at my ear. When Nile was speaking there, he said, there's a lot in the Adams calendar, and what is the Atoms calendar. I don't know what that is? What is that thing? So I went down that little rabbit hole for a minute, and guys, there's some really fascinating stuff that we need to talk about. Okay, we gotta talk about it. We're going to South Africa to check out this thing called Adams Calendar. It's known as several other things. That has many other names. That is how you'll hear it be spoken about in the Western Western culture. It's a megalithic stone structure. Okay, imagine like a stonehenge, but different some standing stones, many of them much smaller, uh, stones like individual stones. But the reason why it's called Adams calendar is because it is thought perhaps to have represented a way to measure or measure time. Really, and like a lot of these other megalithic sites, it's all about the sun in the shadow Georgia guidestones. They talk about the keystone or whatever, the caps, the you know, the whole in at the contract. It was apparently done quite imperfectly. But it's it's the same concept, well it is it. It is the same concept. So depending on where the shadow is cast, you can really tell a lot about the time of year. So theoretically, at least according to people who have looked at this thing, you could tell when winter solstice is supposed to be occurring, where the equinoxes are supposed to occur, when the start of a year is and all this stuff. It's super cool to me because when it was first created, like when, oh it also matched up with some constellations, I believe there's there's theories about that. But when it was first created, the stars were in a specific place, right because of the way the earth wobbles, the stars do change change up in the night sky in their location where they are. Um, there's all kinds of small variances that are going to change, like what what the sky looks like over a large span of years. And the big question here is when was this thing actually built? And because there are some people who think it's a lot older than others. And if you believe everybody, or at least a couple of these researchers people have been looking at it, it could be around seventy five thousand years old. But this is a man made stone structure, right, and the implications of it being that old, I don't know. It's pretty cool, It's pretty pretty cool because this thing, at least it's thought to predate the Pyramids at Giza, so the Great Pyramids, it's thought to predate a lot of these other mega structures that exist on the planet, which would honestly make sense just given what we know about the the evolution and the spread of Homo sapiens and all its all its various mixtapes. We also know that I think the the first astronomical site in general acknowledged was on the African continent, and the first attempts at a calendar, those sticks that we talked about in the calendar heist also African and origin right, also from that continent, which again makes sense. And then we I'm just I'm free so on a little bit here, just connecting some dots, Matt. We also know that European and Arab forces spent a lot of time trying to downplay the ingenuity and the sophistication of earlier African civilizations and scientific discoveries, so we could totally see I think it's completely within the bounds of logic to say this thing was ignored, and once it was ignored, people just kept ignoring it. Maybe they didn't ask too many questions. Maybe people made some BS claims and nobody bothered to investigate them. Yeah, oh, dogs, people, let's talk about the English version that old hinge. You know it's a big up. Yeah, this supposedly older than Stonehenge. If that thing really is seventy five thousand years old, then it far out classes Stonehenge, which is thought to be around five thousand, which I didn't think I would be like on Stonehenge today. But now now we're anchored in seventy five thousand, we hear five thousand, and we're like whatever. Well, here's the big wrinkle for me, guys, where it really got crazy. If you head on over to ancient dash origins dot net, you can go there and check it out. I'm not saying this is the best source, but this person we're going to talk about is cited all over the place on the Internet. But there's a writer researcher named Michael Tellinger. Maybe it's telling her. I think it's Talinger, uh, but he has estimated that they might be as old as a hundred thousand years, if not more. And I've never heard of this. I've never heard of this. I had never heard of it either until our friend Nile there mentioned it. And it does feel it feels like something we need to look at and maybe really bring some answers to because according to Atlas Obscura in several other outlets, Michael Tellinger's findings or his beliefs maybe about the age of the structure are a little off and they have been widely disputed, which I don't want to fully take the mystery and the excitement out of it, but we are this is something we're gonna have to look at, like could it possibly be that old? If it was that old, what are the implications, um, and what evidence is there to show that it was perhaps that old? At the very least, it does do what it's purported to do to some degree, right, Like it's it's a raid in a way that tracks these you know changes, celestial changes that you're talking about. Yes, absolutely so If you head on over to ancient dash origins dot net, you can see a pretty cool diagram I guess it states that's from Rodney Hale. It's a plan that was I guess generated, and it shows you what the thing looks like where the winter solstice sunrise is going to appear with regards to the stone circle, where due east is and due west. And it does look like the thing was built much like the Pyramids of Giza and several other structures like this, where north is north like actual north. It's the top of the thing is actually pointed north and the the bottom has actually pointed south, east and west the same. So people who built it, however long ago, we're aware in some way, we're aware of true north and south and all of that. Fascinating. Yeah, and I'm learning about this now, Matt. I'd never heard of this, thank you know. All of this is um I think this is a new one for all of us, Matt. Had you heard of this before? And you know, honestly, Uh, I want to go, like, let's go to South Africa. I want to see this thing. There's so many places or like maybe too, this is weird, but I want to go to like England and do Stonehenge. I want to go to Ireland and check out some of these standing stones mounds, those Larnie Stone I heard it's super cool. Yes, no, no, you want to see these other I want to see these underwater pyramids too. From that listener. Unfortunately don't don't exist. They don't exist probably, but there's a cool photoshop associated with them. Okay, well that just makes it easier. Let's figure out the ones that are legitimate. Um, and by legitimate, let's define that as not the claims made about them, but their existence. Right. Uh that Yeah, we have learning now a little bit more about Tallenger are also pretty active in politics. Huh, well, we've got to save it. Yeah, this is this is amazing. This is the kind of stuff that I think we all love and hopefully you love it as much as we do. Hearing about these these new things off the beaten path. You know, that's that's the stuff that we want to explore with you. Matt, I think, no, you're with it with him. Two, let's go. Let's go around the world. We need the world tour somehow, and it may not be you know, it may not be um as prestigious as going to London or something like that, but honestly, who cares. Let's go to the weird places. Let's go to the places most people don't go for sure, for sure, and especially this Poma Lnga region in South Africa. There are so many standing stone and other stone structures. There's estimately to be like thousands that are right in that region. So I just want to go. Let's take a couple of historians and just get out there. Also, for fellow fans of cryptids, let's not forget maybe not so much South Africa, but if you get to the west of the African continent, that's one of the places where land based cryptids are most likely to exist. Let's do it. So we're on the case. So thank you, of course to Jingle, Thank you too, Nile, Thank you to Ghosts for writing in. Thank you to everybody who wrote in except for one, except for Monster. You. Monster took us up on it, took us took us up on our earlier offer where we know we were opening a door or we said we love puns. We love We had a conversation about the inherent goodness or badness of puns, and we talked about how we love dad jokes, bad jokes. We were very no pun, no joke left behind. Uh, And then we received the following message from an absolute villain who wants us to give them a different quote, different name that's funny. So here we go. Hello, my name is redacted, but please make up a different name that's funny. It will be my code name if I correspond with you in the future. Gentlemen, I suggest that we share the joke and then we decide the code name after the joke. What do you think I've got a code name already. But yeah, let's do it. Oh okay, no, no, no, go ahead, go ahead? Yeah? What is it? Agent Winter? Agent Winter Intrigue? So all right, so Agent Winter says, this isn't much of a pun, but more of a dad joke. Maybe I was in a room and I heard it toot, but I was the only one in the room. Someone else has to do. Then we have to do it an an accent. I think that's the only way this works. I'll do it in an accent. You ready as that goes? So I was in a room and I heard it too, but I was the only one in the room. So I looked at the clock and it was to tan, tut to tin, to tin get it. Two tens to the clock was tut to tan. I don't think we're good. I don't think we have a good winter. Oh my gosh, no, we need another whomp whomp holiday. So well, we opened the door and fair is fair.
