Satan Eats Cheese Whiz And Other Dark Lore: Happy Friday the 13th!

Friday the 13th hits different when the internet is feeding you symbols, “proof,” and pattern after pattern. I’m Melissa, and on All My Spookies I follow that itch to connect the dots, from seeing 13 everywhere to asking why some stories about fame and death refuse to die.

We go deep on celebrity replacement theory, Illuminati symbolism, and the idea of the entertainment industry as a machine that can’t afford to stop. Then we pull the curtain back on the less “woo” side of it: ghostwriters, image rebrands, and how a profitable star can become a brand with a whole team attached. From Tupac to Biggie to modern pop, we talk about why lyrics feel prophetic after tragedy and how conspiracy culture keeps old rumors alive.

Things get heavier when we pivot into documented power structures and the Epstein conversation, focusing on how harm can hide in plain sight through money, reputation management, and institutional silence. I keep the focus on systems, not internet hysteria, and I say what I think too many people avoid: protecting kids is everyone’s job, not just parents with influence.

To balance the dark, we end with strange Friday the 13th facts, witchy science like the Troxler effect, creepy consumer tech like Spotify’s “Eternal Playlist Urn,” black cat lore, and even why harsh store lighting might spike your body anxiety. If you like paranormal podcasts, conspiracy theories, true crime, and cultural commentary with a real-life edge, you’ll feel right at home.

riday The 13th Starts Chaotic

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Good evening everyone. Welcome back to All My Spookies. This is your host Melissa at Strange Strange Band Insane. And of course, tonight is Friday the 13th. Had to make sure that I hopped on here. Have had nothing but fucking technical difficulties. Um there's like 30, 40 to 60 miles per hour wind right now in Michigan. Um, we also had storms last Friday. The weather here has been crazy. I know it's been crazy all around, like nationwide. So yeah, hopping on here was uh was quite the battle tonight, but I'm glad that I'm back. So we have a lot of topics I want to go over. Of course, gruesome, creepy, paranormal. So in the last couple of days, I've been seeing 13 everywhere. Of course, you know, I'm a pattern person. Um, so if anyone's gonna notice the same thing repeating, it's gonna be me. Like 13 downloads on my podcast, and then like 13, 13, 13, all threes across the board on like a few new episodes. Um there was last night while door dashing, this guy's this guy had 13 items, and his total came up to like 1333. And then also where Paul and I we got Wendy's a couple nights ago, and it was like 13 something on when it emailed me and it was like 13 and then 333. So the last time I kept seeing threes and thirteens, I played the lotto and I won$500. So yeah, you know the signs are always there. Alright, so I've been watching a lot on this, right? And um one of the girls I follow on TikTok, Alex Serves T, shout out to her. She has some pretty wild accusations, slash conspiracies, slash kind of spiritual outlooks, I guess. Um, but I want to talk about the dead celebrity replacement theory. So if you haven't heard about this, this theory claims that when celebrities die unexpectedly, they're they're secretly replaced by look-alikes to protect the brand. Now, there's a lot of videos circulating, like you can tell in the eyes, right? The eyes are the window to the soul. Um the conspiracy says that these represent secret societies controlling entertainment. Realistically, most historians say that these symbols are used because they look visually powerful, um, they reference ancient art and occult aesthetics used in fashion and music videos. But some symbol symbolisms definitely keep conspiracy culture alive. So, like a lot of these artists that people are claiming that died and have certain symbols and kind of like put it out in our face is the you know, like the Paul McCartney theory that he died and was replaced, Avril Levine theory that has been going on for years and years. Um, Eminem, I definitely can say I believe that because he is so soft now and he was not like that before. Um, he's all political and shit. Gucci main, um, fans point out things like slightly different facial features, voice changes, personality shifts. So a lot of people will hop on social media and say, well, most of that can be explained by aging, plastic surgery, or image rebranding. But the idea of the music industry being a machine that can't let a profitable star disappear is what keeps the theory alive. Again, cash cows, right? So the Illuminati symbolism, and this is a huge debate. So you've probably have seen this everywhere online. Fans claim that many artists constantly show symbols like um, you know, the all-eye seeing, the you know, holding up like covering one eye, wearing eye jewelry, this and that. I do wear evil eye protection stuff, but theirs is more like mason-looking eye, so there's a huge difference, right? Triangles, of course, Jay-Z, that goes way back. Um, black and white checker patterns, which I am a huge, huge conspiracy theorist about. And my sister-in-law actually one time told me she's like, You're just being crazy with this. I said, Oh no, girl, there's a whole fucking rabbit hole that you need to go down about the black and white checker patterns. Um, hand gestures, artists accused over the years, too have been like Beyonce. I already said Jay-Z, Rihanna, definitely Lady Gaga, although I love her. Um, entire teams or writers create this kind of music and what they want them to do, right? The main artist becomes the face of the brand. In some cases, contracts prevent ghostwriters from ever revealing their work. Example of the shocked people. So Drake's ghostwriter controversy in 2015 when a songwriter leaked reference tracks in pop music, especially, a song might have 10 or 20 writers behind it. So you probably are sitting here being like, You're off subject. What does this have to do with what you're just talking about? Well, if you now, granted, why would you go online? If if you were an old-time producer and you were working behind the scenes, I don't know why you would go on social media now and like want to speak your truth, but and these are older people, right? Probably at least in their 60s, from what they say today, that most of these artists can't even fucking sing happy birthday a cappella. Like, it's all coming to the light now that they are talentless, they've been talentless, they're cash cows, they're basically just plants in the industry, right? And that's what I'm trying to say. Like, I think when they fuck up, or they're no longer beautiful or youthful, or they say too much, they don't say enough, this, that, or the other, they replace them, right? Whether it's physically, mentally, I mean, I think lobotomies are still a thing. There's chemical type of lobotomies, doesn't mean they have to take an ice pick through your brain. I mean, look at Britney Spears, she was on lithium for how many years? Her brain is completely fucking like vanished, right? Speaking on Britney, she just got a DUI. I know you guys heard about that. Poor Britney Spears. I have to say, I think it was a setup. Um, I think she's been gone for a long time. So again, I'm not saying that like all artists have no talent, but the industry is way more manufactured than people would think. So, again, going back to the ghostwriter industry, this one is less conspiracy and more open secret. Many huge artists don't write most of their songs. Shocker. You know, instead, entire teams of writers create the music, the main artist becomes the face of the brand. Um, like Tupac wrote lyrics about dying young many times, and it was released the Don Calluminati, the Seven Day Theory shortly before his death. Some believe the album title hinted at his death. Biggie Smalls, his album, Life After Death, was released two weeks after he was murdered. Mac Miller, lyrics in several songs talk about not living long. Juice World repeatedly rabbed about overdosing before dying from an overdose. So, why a lot of people think that I wouldn't just say think, I would say they're putting two and two together because again, our technology is so much better today, and so many things are constantly being leaked, and I think excuse me, I think people, quote unquote, people in the industry that work for, are part of, are higher up or lower, whatever, I think they're being held at their own ransom, right? To like not say anything, and I think some people don't give a fuck what happens to them, right? They want to speak truth. It's kind of like they want to set their souls free before something happens. Um, I do believe some people do know their destiny and they know kind of like when they're gonna die, they have a feeling. So the CIA admitted using artists and cultural figures in propaganda experiments. Psychedelic music culture grew right alongside government LSD experiments. Some theorists even claim certain songs were designed to influence emotional states or behavior. No-proof musicians were intentionally used this way, but the timeline timeline overlap is very real. So, again, just what we were talking about, artists predicting their own deaths, right? So this one creeps people out because it keeps happening, and even ones that have died many, many moons ago, there's a lot more coming to light about these ones, right? So this one sounds insane at first until you realize MKUltra was real. MK Ultra was a CIA program through the 1950s through the 70s that experimented with mind control, psychological conditioning, LSD, and sensory manipulation. The conspiracy claims that some musicians in the 1960s counterculture scene were unknowingly part of psychological experiments. Music festivals and concerts were used to study mass influence and behavior. So this is about the Lavender Town syndrome, and this is Pokemon plus music horror. This one blends music with urban legend. In 1996, in Japan, kids supposedly got headaches, became anxious, and some allegedly died by suicide. So this was all after hearing the Lavender Town theme music in Pokemon. The story claimed that the soundtrack had high frequencies adults couldn't hear that affected these children. So no real evidence ever confirmed it. But the story spread like wildfire online. One court case actually claimed a song caused two teenagers to attempt suicide because of hidden messages. When people played the records backwards, they heard phrases like serve Satan. Most of it was an audio, I don't know how to say this word, periodola, the brain trying to find patterns. So um, I don't know, like, is it true? I I've never heard of that um until I looked it up earlier, and I was like, holy shit, this is really a thing. Alright, so here are some of the strangest and darkest music myths that people repeated for decades like they were facts. So this is like a creepy rabbit hole material that I want to talk about tonight. Because not all of it there is truth behind them, but not all of them are like super true. So something that's like been resurfacing back on TikTok, well, a TikTok trend is some mamas and papas music, which I have absolutely love mamas and papas. Um, I owned the cassette when I was like, I think seven that my parents got me for Christmas, and you know, Mama Cass died. You know, tragically, she was always, you know, they always belittled her for her weight, but it's funny because I just started listening to Mamas and Papas the other night when I was door dashing, and it was like, I don't know, it was just like nostalgic, you know, because I thought of my parents. So the rumor is that Mama Cass choked on a ham sandwich. This is one of the most famous false celebrity death stories. The rumor is Cass Elliott died in 1974 after choking on a ham sandwich. And the reality is the sandwich was found on the nightstand untouched. The coroner ruled out any of this and said that she died of heart failure. So a journalist invented the sandwich story, which is sad because she, like I said, she already um was really affected by comments about her weight, and she actually hated the name Mama Cass. Um, this journalist just assumed that's how she died because she was overweight. And of course, the headline spread worldwide and destroyed her reputation for decades. So the Paul is dead theory, the Beatles conspiracy. In the late 1960s, fans believed that Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was secretly replaced. The clues that fans pointed to um that Paul was being barefoot on the Abbey Road cover, a symbol of death in some cultures, backmast messages when songs were played backwards, lyrics like he blew his mind out in a car. Radio stations got thousands of calls, and people analyzed album covers like crime scenes. Of course, Paul was very much alive. So I'm gonna kind of interrupt in these little topics because there's some people, like some of my friends remember Britney Spears dying in a car accident in like 2006, and I'm like, I don't ever fucking remember that. And then people are saying that they remember Justin Timber, like and her were were together when that happened and that they both died. And now there's like all these rumors, I guess, that Selena Gomez died while getting her kidney transplant. But the weird thing about that, well, we'll come back to that, but there is crazy conspiracy about the Selena Gomez thing. Um let's see, because she almost died, and then Demi Lovato, Odine, and then who was the other one? Was it Ariana Grande? Yes, so that's another thing that um I'll come back to on this episode, but I this will all come together in the end why I wanted to kind of do these together. Alright, so moving on. The Robert Johnson story. So supposedly he sold his soul at the crossroads, one of the creepiest legends in the music history. The myth was Blues musician Robert Johnson met the devil at Mississippi Crossroads, and he traded his soul and suddenly became the greatest guitar player alive. So, um, and why people believe this? People, you know, see they people worship celebrities, right? So if they disappear for like a year or they're kind of behind the scenes, they automatically think that someone died. Um, and when this guy came back, he was insanely skilled, like more than before. People kind of recognized him as like a media core musician, not great. And then so when he came back, of course, he was great. His songs included lyrics about hellhounds, crossroads, and demons. He did die at 27, likely poisoned, which only fueled the legend more. Alright, so one of my favorites is the 27 Club Curse. And this is a disturbing pattern in the music history. Major musicians who died at 27. Of course, we know Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, which is weird because we were talking about Janice Joplin a lot at work today, and um, she came on our shuffle radio a lot, too. It was it was weird. Um, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse. Oh god, I love Amy. Um, people started calling it the 27 Club curse. Some conspiracy theories claim that it's linked to occult symbolism in the industry or that intense fame destroys artists around the same age. Realistically, it's cool, it's a coincidence mixed with lifestyle factors, but the pattern still freaks people out. I I do believe in the 27 Club theory only because I think some of them will not sell their souls and that they would rather die. And I think a lot of those ones are the ones that go out that like go out on hardcore drugs. Um, I do really believe in that, and there's a lot behind that, but I'm just gonna kinda give it a little bit of a gist. Alright, so the ghost in the recording studio. I love this story. So this one comes from Abbey Road Studios. Multiple engineers have claimed equipment turning on by itself, footsteps in empty halls, and strange voices in recordings. Some swear the spirit of a former engineer who died there still wanders the studio. Alright, so the back mask the back masking panic of the 1980s. Parents believed rock bands were hiding satanic messages and songs played backwards. Bands that were accused: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, and Judas Priest. One court case actually claimed a song caused two teenagers to attempt suicide because of hidden messages. When people played the records backwards, they heard phrases like serve Satan again. Here we go. Um, and you hear this on you almost like every good song that's ever been created, and they play it backwards. Like Billy Eilish's shit is like super creepy. There's a lot. Um, but I mean are are our ears trying to hear it? Are we really hearing that? Is there an art or like even like a grid, right? Like a grid lock to actually make music, and maybe all of it backwards is like I don't know, like that pig Latin thing, right? I don't know, but I have heard a lot of songs backwards, and it is fucking creepy. And you do hear Satan a lot. So some of these songs from the 80s that were basically said it had like satanic messages in it, um, was Stairway to Heaven. And if you reverse it, the bridge is said to contain, Oh, here's to my sweet Satan. The ones who little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He will give those with him 666. There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer. Sad Satan. Um, that was Led Zeppelin. Um, so cheap trick, the song Gonna Raise Hell. After the four-minute mark, the reversed audio allegedly says, You know Satan holds the key to the lock. And then the band Sticks Snowblind, their song. Um, this song contains a backwards phrase often interpreted as Satan moves through our voices. Weird Al, of course. Um, his song Nature Trail to Hell. Okay, so this is a Satan take on the panic. The reverse message says, Satan eats cheese whiz. Sorry. Um, so Cradle of Filth and their song Dinner at Deviant's Palace. The track features the Lord's Prayer recited backwards. So many of these, particularly particularly the Led Zeppelin example, have been largely dismissed as coincidental, with many artists even using back masking as a joke or a way to you know pretty much cause panic, right? And just make fun of it. That's in the 1980s, and we're still talking about how evil artists are, right? So now the reason why I wanted to talk about all this in one is that um it just goes to show you how powerful the industry is, okay? And you take every celebrity, musician, actor, actress, whatever, and people just people on the streets would throw you know their own clothes off their back to let these people walk across their clothes so that they didn't get their feet wet or cold, right? But now people are like, not now, but like in the last five, six years, people have really fucking woken up, and that's a good thing, and it's a bad thing. So the good part I think is that nobody should idolize anybody like that. It's unhealthy. That should never just be your fucking goal is to meet somebody famous, right? You should have many other goals in life. And another thing is too, like, um, you know, the way that they're looking in Hollywood, they're almost like mocking poor people, too. I think like this. Starvation look. I mean, I can go into depth with this, but um even more so than I want to right now. Because again, these are good ideas for like more episodes to come. Um, they're all starting to look the same, they look like fucking walk walking zombies, and I definitely don't want to look like that, and I don't want plastic surgery like any of them. And your average woman would say the same thing. Uh, they look scary, right? They look like fucking animals. Um, they do not look human, they look very alien-like. In fact, I was talking to my other sister-in-law last night, and we were talking about Kelly Clarkson, and she's like, Oh my god, she looks crazy. You know, I was telling your brother, Kobe said that she looks like the lady from Mars Attacks. Oh my god, that's such an old movie. If you haven't seen it, you have to see it. You have to absolutely. That was like one of my grandma's favorite movies to watch up north. But yeah, I could not stop laughing, and I was driving, and um, yeah, I was like crying. I was laughing so hard. But this just goes to show, even for these artists, like signing a contract. I mean, you are signing your solo way, right? And this too was to kind of like give you, I mean, all of us, right? Kind of a look at they have a whole production team behind them. Like, you you do not own yourself, you do not own like what you do during the day. You can't just come and go. You have publicists, you have PR teams, you have managers, you have managers of managers, you have people you owe, you have things, gigs you have to show up at. I don't I mean, of course they've sold their souls, of course their original souls are not in there anymore, right? And LA, I think, is a huge fucking horribly evil place. Again, although I'd like to go there to do some paranormal adventures, I definitely could not be there for more than a week. I don't think my soul could handle that. But yeah, there's just uh I love talking conspiracy theories on here because there's so many angles you can go at it, and I love hearing everyone's favorite conspiracy theory or theories, and I like to know why they believe in them or why they don't, right? It's just what I do, you know, QA's and get feedback from people, which is obviously why I have a podcast. So talking again about Tupac really quick. So Tupac's death announcement was in 1996, right? He got shot September 7th, but the news of his death spread worldwide on Friday the 13th, because he actually died Friday the 13th, adding to a conspiracy theories about the date, right? So, um, and knowing fact too is that people are a lot stranger on Friday the 13th. Studies show that people behave more cautiously and anxiously, which ironically causes strange coincidence and accidents because everyone is so hyper aware of the date. It's probably why we were so slow at work today, too, which is funny. Um so yeah, now I want to talk about this story in 2004. This I've seriously have never heard about this, and I can't believe me out of all people have not heard this. Alright, so this guy's name is Peter Porco or Porso. We'll say Porso. Peter Porso was attacked with an axe while sleeping in his home in New York. Despite catastrophic head injuries, he got out of bed, walked downstairs, and began his normal morning routine. He unloaded the dishwasher, made coffee, and even tried to get the newspaper. His wife later said that he seemed confused, but he was still moving around. He eventually collapsed and died shortly afterward. Investigators believed that his brain was running on autumn automatic automatic, I'm sorry, automatic routine behavior, similar to how people can sleepwalk. Sorry, had to let out a sneeze. Sneezing a lot again, Michigander, right? We're going through all the seasons in this last like two, three weeks. Alright, so again, so this is similar to how people would be sleepwalking. The parts of the brain responsible for habit and motor function can keep working briefly. Let's see. Um, I'm sorry. Even when higher brain function is severely damaged, which that is definitely strange, strange, band insane. That was I mean, that's horrific that that happened, but it was such a cool story to read about. Um, another reason this can happen is uh obviously the adderline and shock, which can temporarily keep the body functioning despite fatal injuries. I mean, imagine waking up, making coffee, and unloading the dishwasher after being struck in the head multiple times with an axe while you slept. I mean, that's really it really just captures like how the brain can literally run on autopilot. And of course, we all like real life mob horror stories. These can be some of the darkest true crime material because they actually happened and often involved power, betrayal, and brutal messages meant to scare others. Alright, so Roy DeMio and the Gemini Method. Roy DeMeo was a Gambiano crime family enforcer in New York during the 1970s through the 80s. His crew had a killing system called the Gemini Method. So this is when a victim walks into a bar or an apartment, someone shoots him in the head instantly. Another member stabs the the heart to stop the blood flow. The body is then dragged into the bathroom, dismembered, and packed into garbage bags. Authorities believe that a hundred plus murders were done this way. Even other mobsters were terrified of Demio because he seemed to enjoy it. Jesus. Okay, so the ice cream truck hit. Chicago mobster Anthony Spililatro, connected to the Vegas mafia, once ordered a hit where a man was lured in an ice cream truck meeting. Instead of a deal, he was beaten to death and buried in a cornfield. Later, Spilatro himself was betrayed by the mob and buried alive with his brother after a brutal beating. Alright, now we got the acid barrel murder. In 1930, gangster Vincent Kowell kidnapped a mob boss's associate for ransom. When things went wrong, the mob hunted Kyle down. Another gangster named Harry Greenberg was murdered and dissolved an acid inside a barrel to erase evidence. This method later became infamous in mafia culture. So the mafia farm graveyard. In the 1980s, police discovered a farm in Indiana used by Chicago mobsters. Bodies were buried across the property for years. When investigators dug it up, they found multiple skeletons hidden across the land. A literal mob graveyard. Yeah, so I mean there's so many different mob stories out there, but I love love watching documentaries on the old mobsters. Uh one of my my favorite gangs um since I was younger, and I did a lot of you know, like extra credit projects on them was the purple gang. So, like all of you, I have a lot of questions still about all this Epstein shit that is surfacing, right? Um It's all over every platform of social media. You know, we talk about it a little bit at work, talk about it amongst friends, even, you know, like I said, you're scrolling the internet. So this part of the episode is to discuss publicly documented court records and mainstream reporting. This is not speculation, this is not like an internet theory right now that I'm gonna be doing on the Epstein. Um, this is just a study of systems, and I'm really just talking about like the power systems, right? I think this kind of goes in more so to what we've already kind of been talking about tonight. And it's Friday the 13th, so there's gonna be a lot of different topics. How does something operate in plain sight for years? How does money then consequence? How do institutions prioritize reputation over protection? We're not here to name random people, we're not here to fuel internet hysteria right now that's already going on, right? We got enough shit going on in the world. Um, if it's not paranormal and this is more like active things that are going on, I don't really like to pull all of the he said she said. I really just like to get down to what we know, right? Like actual facts right now. So, in my biggest question is what kind of structure allows us? Power does not hide in alleyways, it doesn't whisper in basements, it sits in boardrooms, it attends galas, it shakes hands in daylight, and sometimes the most dangerous rooms are the ones everyone was invited to. So tonight I don't just want to chase conspiracy with this part. Um, I want to examine like the structures, uh, the silence and what happens when influence becomes insulation. Alright, so the files that everyone is obsessing about. Why are people so obsessed with this list, this Epstein list, right? Like, we don't even know if this is fucking real. And if they were to come out with the whole entire list, let's just say quote unquote the the list, everybody would be fucked in the world, right? People crave visible justice. When trust in institutions collapse collapses, we look for proof of corruption. The human brain wants a clean villain network. Is the hunger for the list about justice or is it about reassurance that corruption is organized? Wealth and influence create insulation, legal systems move differently for the powerful, of course, right? Social proof protects predators, victims often get dismissed when accused against elites. Why do bystanders stay silent? Why do institutions protect reputation over people? How does grooming skill socially? You know, and how does all this hide in plain sight for years? Not in shadows, not underground, but inside institutions, behind money, behind connections, and behind silence. And I think that's the the biggest fucking problem that I have with all this. Like you're talking Epstein, you know. I know there's so much shit about you know on Ellen DeGeneres, on Diddy, and like so many of these people. So the number one thing is that I always tell my husband, this is before we even had a kid. Let me take a sip of my drink for this. Where were most of these parents? Okay, that's right. They're busy letting their their kids be cash cows. Now I'm not saying that your kid cannot sneak shit and go behind your back. Absolutely. We are all kids, we were all teenagers, and it will happen, okay? But I'm talking about the industry itself. A lot of these parents let their you know 12, 13, 14-year-old kids go to Hollywood and be like, oh yeah, go ahead, go make mom and dad money. The other thing is is that you know, everybody wants to point the finger at how this Epstein was such a monster, which he is, but just remember he's a middleman, and that's what I mean. Like, everybody is so concerned about like everyone that's on this list, and oh, you know, go ahead and show the list. Go ahead, you know, we want to see it, we want to see it. Well, they're not going to put everyone and everything that's ever been on there, right? Because literally, like, heads would fucking roll because it'd be everyone, you know, anyone with a little bit of power and money. And that is the truth to it, but you know, not everybody's a disgusting predator, not everyone's a piece of shit with money. Some people with money are actually very humbled, right? Um, but what I'm gonna say about I mean, I'm I didn't I didn't want to get too there's just so many, so many layers to this Epstein shit, right? But I do just I wanna keep saying, like, you know, you can keep pointing the finger at him, but it's it he's like a a little man in the game, right? He's even though he had you think he was a big man with a lot of money, his own island, this and that. Just just imagine how many people funded those habits, right? How did he get there? Right? He wasn't always at the bottom, he wasn't he's wasn't even at the top yet. I mean, to me, like I said, a middleman. So they're all involved, and it's very gross. Again, watch your kids, make sure they're making good conscious decisions. Obviously, don't use your fucking children as cash cows, and you know, let's see when that changes, how much better, you know, this world could look. I think parents need to protect. I think the community needs to protect children, whether you have them or not. Um, even though I went all these years without having a kid, I was always a protector of children. I don't give a fuck if that kid's not mine. If that kid is out, if any kid is out in the street struggling in front of me, I'm going to help them. Um, if some kid, random kid ran up to me and said, Hey, that weird guy or that weird lady is following me, like, yes, I'm going to act on it. Absolutely, no thought, right? So I think there needs to be more of that, and I think people are more hyper-aware now, and I think people are gonna do a better job. So not that it's community's fault, but like I said, there's there's all these layers and there's these ladders, right? And you can't can't blame one without blaming all of them. So there's still not enough revealed, and there I think there's a lot of misinformation out there. So I'm kind of you know, I've just been I see a lot, I read a lot, and I've just kind of been waiting to see where this goes. Um, but it was hysterical watching Hillary Clinton get so so pissed and bothered and puff like a dragon on national TV. Like she proved herself guilty just by the way she acted. Anyways, uh, if you have not seen that, please go look that up if you want a good laugh. I personally do not like Hillary Clinton, so whatever. But it is really funny to see her pissed. So, three freaky Friday facts. If you ever have felt the air in a room shift before a single candle was lit, you aren't imagining it. Your magic isn't a theory, it is a biological and historical certainty. For a seasoned witch, the supernatural is simply the part of nature that science has not caught up to yet. So take it as you want, you know, but that's why trying to skate around this without being too woo-woo, but that's why on TikTok and all these on social media, you're just seeing all these home remedies, and oh, if you do this, then you do that, and this is the garden penicillin, and this is the Italian penicillin, and this is that every culture has like their own. Well, that's all witchery, you know. People when they when they hear witch, they're like, ah, like scary that they're coming out of the woods with long, creepy nails and they're gonna eat you. No, nope. So plants are not silent, they are part of a massive underground fungal network. Using these threads, trees send literal warning signals to their neighbors about pest or drought. They essentially cast a collective protection spell over the entire forest. Nature was practicing hive mind consciousness long before we were. So the science of the scrying glitch. There is a documented psychological phenomenon called the Troxler effect. When you stare in a mirror in a dim light, your brain eventually stops processing peripheral details. This causes your own face to appear to dissolve or to morph. Scientists call it a neural adaption. We call it the exact moment the ego drops and the ancestors start looking back. So the alchemy of the inner ocean, water is the ultimate conductor of intent. Since your body is made up of 70% of water, your daily affirmations that you speak are not just words. Every spell you speak creates a literal vibration that ripples through your physical morrow. You aren't just casting a ritual, you are retuning the molecular geometry of your own internal ocean. You are more tied than you are timber. So disc golf courses are actually they're actually built and put on undocumented burial mounds, which is so funny because Carissa, that's just she was just on here and she's been on here many times. Um, she used to be big into disc golfing, and I've been telling her for a couple years that I've been wanting to get into disc golfing, right? Because I love to golf regularly. Um, and I just have had this like weird fascination with disc golf for two years, and I keep telling her, You gotta take me, you gotta take me, you gotta teach me. And so I sent that to her today when I I was like, Did you know that? And she just sent me a bunch of laughy faces, but I thought that was very interesting, and I definitely had to hit her with the text message. No wonder why I'm so fascinated with going disc golf, but disc golfing, but that wouldn't make sense, right? Because it's just open land, but yeah, that's uh very interesting. So now when we do go disc golfing, we can also do a paranormal investigation while doing that. So that's two birds killed with one stone. I think that's super super neat. Um, I'm excited to do that this spring. So another little morbid fact for you guys since it's still Friday the 13th, at least for 20 more minutes. Spotify's new$495 urn plays your plays playlist even after you die. Liquid Death has teamed up with Spotify to launch a new product called the Eternal Playlist Urn, combining a cremation urn with a built-in wireless speaker designed to play music after death. The collaboration introduces what the brands describe as the first urn. Uh let me keep sorry about that. The first urn to ever have a built-in wireless speaker designed to play music after death. The collaboration introduces what the brands describe: a connected playlist directly through Spotify, and the product is being marketed as part as part of a novelty part memorial item trying together music, streaming, and end-of-life person personalization. Okay, so they've been they I'm just talking like people, if you know that if you know you know kind of people. So when that water came out, liquid death, Paul and I were at a concert. This is years back, and all I wanted was a fucking bottle of water, and they did not have a normal bottle of water. I had to buy the liquid death can. And I thought, well, that's odd. And honestly, the water tasted a little funky to me, but I thought it was just because it was an aluminum can. But now it's saying that liquid death has teamed with them, of course, to design and earn liquid death. Get it? There's a lot of conspiracies behind that too. So yeah, I'm interested to see how this works out. Um, I don't know why I'm laughing. It's probably because again, it's still the 13th, Friday the 13th, and I'm super morbid, right? But I just think that's hilarious. Like, let me leave you my playlist after I'm dead. So It can feel like I'm haunting you. I don't know how I feel about that. And of course, we have to do this because Friday the 13th, and I do have two black cats, so Utica and Boo-Boo. It's actually Utica 12 Mile and Boo-Boo Bing-see from Hocus Pocus, of course. And obviously where Utica was found. Um my cats always smell my eyes, and then they go right to my mouth. And the reason why your cats smell your eyes is because they've chosen their person. Um they feel the most comfortable with you. It's a very loving thing that cats can do. So and you know, and they say black cat some people think black cats are bad luck, but everybody, I think, by now knows that they're actually good luck. And they're actually the most affectionate cat that you can have. The most affectionate, I meant to say. Um, they do get black cats get zoomies more than any other cat, but they are the most loving and affectionate cat. So, again, because it's Friday the 13th, anyone that's got black cats, make sure you give them extra kisses. Okay, we talk about this all the time at work, and there is definitely something going on with the lights. And I came across this a couple days ago, and I'm like, oh my god, this makes perfect sense. So I'm gonna play this video.

SPEAKER_01 45:31

What's that? Oh, Walmart's gonna be changing their lights from fluorescent to 10,000 Kelvin, which is an artificial blue light to put your body in light or brightness. Your legal is not gonna be making frequent decisions, which means you're going to be purchasing things that you don't even want to. You're going to be putting yourself out of the stores that your body can open up the plenty of problems since you had such a bad experience. While you're in there in Fighter Flight and you remember that you didn't feel well in there, you're not going to worry about returning any items that you purchased unnecessarily. So get ready for some fun Walmart shopping here soon. Amen.

illennials Survived Two Different Worlds

ixing The Timeline And Final Goodbye

SPEAKER_00 46:32

Yeah, but here's the thing, it's not just Walmart. I feel like a lot of these places have been doing this for years because the lighting gives me such bad anxiety now. And it's really not like brain anxiety, it's body anxiety, which is like almost worse. Um, so I technically like have to get in and out, and that's why I love having Jack, you know, the baby with me, because it kind of keeps me grounded, and I'm like, okay, I can't pass out, right? I gotta get in and get out. But yeah, this has been a thing, at least an issue for me for years. Okay, so as millennials, do you even realize all that you've done? This is for the millennials, and I'm not discriminating anyone else, but if you were born between 1981 and 1996, this is about you. You are the large I'm sorry, you are the largest last generation that remembers a world without the internet. You played outside until it got dark, you rang doorbells to call friends out, you recorded songs from the radio onto tapes, you agreed to meet and actually showed up because canceling wasn't an option, you lived in the real world, then the world shifted, and then you had to change along with it. You remember what life felt like before a screen lived in your hand. You are the most adapted adaptable generation, you were prepared for one world and forced to live in another. You were raised by analog parents and now raise digital children, you know how to wait, and you also know how to get things instantly. The flexibility is your advantage. You live through every major tech area. So cassette tapes, floppy discs, CDs, MP3 players, old Nokia phones, the first smartphones, early chat apps, early social networks before ads took over. You are living tech history from call me back to video calls in a single tap. They call you snowflakes, but you're tougher than most. You talk openly about mental health, you go to therapy, you don't stay silent when something hurts. That isn't weakness, that's strength. Your parents numbed pain with alcohol, you choose to face trauma. Your grandparents stayed in unhealthy marriages, you walk away from people who harm you. You live through more crisis than any other generation in peacetime. The fall of the old systems, September 11th, the 2008 financial crash, the pandemic, constant economic shocks. You were told to study hard and you'll get a job. You studied and the jobs were not there. You were supposed to live easier than your parents. Instead, you lived much harder. You were the first to say, work isn't my entire life. Your parents lived for work, destroyed their health, sacrificed their families, and died at their deaths. You said no. They call you lazy because you refuse to work 12 hour days for nothing. But you are not lazy. You're the first to understand that life is one. You burned out before you even had time to begin. You were 20 when crisis hit, 30 when the world stopped. You never got to live for yourself, you went straight into survival mode. They blame you for delaying homes and children, but you aren't careless. You're surviving in a world that promised stability and delivered chaos. You also broke toxic traditions. Respect elders no matter what. You said earn it. Family is sacred. You said toxic family can be cut off. Parents are always right. You said they're human too. Stay for the kids. You said a healthy parent matters more. They resent you for this, but you didn't break under how it should be. You chose how I want it to be. You remember friendship without likes, real friendships, cheating on tests together, talking for hours on landlines, giving handmade cards. Your friendships didn't need stories to feel real. That's why you can spot fake friends who only exist online. Oh god, is that ever so true? And fake relationships. They accuse you of being immature, but you simply refuse to play a game where all the rules were stacked against you. Your parents had homes, cars, and families by 25. At 25, you rent and you want to switch careers. The system is broken, yet you're blamed for not fitting into it. You are not immature, you're realistic in a world that promised a fairy tale and delivered a nightmare. You understand the value of time. You remember when photos were printed in studios, when letters took weeks to arrive. Now everything is instant, fast, and disposable. That's why you don't delay life. You travel now, you love now, and you live now. Because tomorrow everything can change. Millennials, you made history just by surviving. You lived through a tech revolution, economic collapses, a complete reshaping of the world. You broke toxic traditions, you spoke about things earlier, generations stayed silent about. You are the last to remember a world without the internet, and the first to build a world with it. You are living history, and that is why we are all so pissed and a little bit hostile about the bullshit that goes on in the world today, and because we know what the world was before all of this shift, I want to say, mostly since COVID, we that's why a lot of us have podcasts. That's why a lot of us look, you know, people look at us and they're like, oh, you're woo-woo. No, like there's a huge fucking difference in our world from even like 1998 till now. Yes, of course, things change, but I'm talking about like every single thing the way the food tastes, fast food, the dynamics, the way of thinking, the sh the shitty cars that are made now that are built so terrible, and they're again disposable. Like, we literally live in a disposable world now, and we we constantly are all bitching back to you know back and forth like old bitties, you know. Like, I remember when this would last forever, and this and that, and blah blah. It's like everything you buy, expensive, inexpensive, which obviously nothing is inexpensive nowadays, but anything super expensive is made so poorly, you're lucky to get a couple years out of it. So, yes, we definitely lived in different times, it's two different worlds. The only difference between like us and the boomers is that the boomers just bitched about it and would not come out of their ways. And us, it's like we kind of adapted to this new world, so we're like from the old world into the new world, we're a little bit more of a hybrid, if you will. So I definitely want to end this fun episode with the right video. And again, it is now midnight, so it is now the 14th, but in my head, it's still Friday the 13th. So I'm going to play this for you guys before we click off here because it is getting late, and of course, I got work in the morning and baby and all that good stuff. But let me play this.

SPEAKER_02 54:36

I just saw a post that said Friday the 13th hasn't happened in March since 2020. And Friday the 13th is happening this week. And so the poster was saying that we were like in the portal of being able to have a second chance at fixing the timeline. And so I got to thinking what else were we doing leading up to that Friday the 13th and March of 2020. And so I mean, like, it's worth a try. I just saw a post.

SPEAKER_00 55:08

So, um, it's everything that we pretty much in a gist, what we talked about, and it hopefully we can fix this timeline because the one that we're in is not right. And it's just funny how she brought up 2020 because that Friday the 13th in 2020, people were doing the broom test because we had that like gravitational pull thing, and like the brooms were standing up on their own. You know, shit, I should have tried that. But now it's the 14th. Well, I'm still going to down here in the basement. Let's see if it works. If it does, I will definitely take a video of it. But again, everyone, thank you for listening. Wanted to do a little more of a longer um variety topic episode tonight. Um, I hope everyone's safe.
