0:00–15:00 — Cold open, the Wheel spins, and cursed parrots + creepy woods The rules of the game: rack up points to reach the “Tower of Truth,” fall short and it’s back to the “Land of Lunacy.” First spin delivers a wild mini-doc: opium-addicted parrots raiding poppy fields in India—farmers can’t stop them, and the birds crash hard when harvest ends. Sam lays out a “don’t celebrate anyone’s death” rant (framed around the online pile-on over Charlie Kirk), pointing at how elites love when we fight each other. Then we shift spooky: a Southern-Gothic...

0:00:00–0:15:00 — Live intro, celeb 9/11 near-miss chatter, and a “haunted” vending machine We kick off live and riff on the lore that Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane “conveniently” didn’t get on a 9/11 flight — “lucky guys,” then: “let’s get this dooming going.” First Video of the Day: the “haunted vending machine” dispensing retro sodas (Texas Red, New Coke, Russian Pepsi), unlabeled buttons that all read “mystery,” and a 2018 disappearance with a note: “went for a walk.” 0:15:00–0:30:00 — Wheel drama, pepper-spray role-play, and...

00:00–15:00 — Kickoff, “are we in a sim?”, and brain‑tech worries We open with the show bumper and roll into a packed wheel—55 videos on deck. A 1977 Philip K. Dick clip sets the vibe: reality branches, “variables were changed”—Sam ties it to the Matrix/Mandela Effect. Then a sober detour into neuroweapons: DARPA’s non‑invasive neuromodulation, aerosolized nano‑materials, and remotely reading/writing to the brain. Programming note/CTA: “fighting the algorithm”—likes, subs, and comments matter. A Mike Benz segment on “strategic non‑cooperation”:...

info_outline0:00:00–0:15:00 — Live intro, celeb 9/11 near-miss chatter, and a “haunted” vending machine
-
We kick off live and riff on the lore that Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane “conveniently” didn’t get on a 9/11 flight — “lucky guys,” then: “let’s get this dooming going.”
-
First Video of the Day: the “haunted vending machine” dispensing retro sodas (Texas Red, New Coke, Russian Pepsi), unlabeled buttons that all read “mystery,” and a 2018 disappearance with a note: “went for a walk.”
0:15:00–0:30:00 — Wheel drama, pepper-spray role-play, and “Einstein’s wife”
-
The wheel gives us zero points and we riff on the scoring.
-
Sam runs a pepper-spray mugging role-play: “If I’m a robber… let’s role play.”
-
Hot take detour: “Einstein’s wife wrote everything,” plus more headline-surfing.
0:30:00–0:45:00 — Eden as a “human zoo,” geoengineering clip, and Pinocchio as programming
-
We chew on a theory that Gan/Paradeisos (Eden) was a controlled enclosure — a literal fenced compound.
-
A geoengineering quick-hit claims nano-aluminum exposure — and the chat starts buzzing.
-
Then a wild breakdown of Pinocchio as an esoteric “conditioning manual.”
0:45:00–1:00:00 — Quantum eraser brain-melt and the Max Headroom hijack
-
The delayed-choice quantum eraser: change the which-path info after detection and you flip the pattern — “it knows the future.”
-
Caller segment: the 1987 Chicago Max Headroom TV hijack — pirate transmitters, radio-school lore, and a mysterious “Zapruder frequency” email.
-
Theory time: it may’ve piggybacked a Cold-War emergency visual channel.
1:00:00–1:15:00 — Reincarnation receipts and what it does to a kid
-
We retell the “Soul Survivor” case: Natoma Bay, pilot James M. Houston Jr., and the book that followed.
-
Then we sit with the human side — night terrors and the idea we “keep doing it over until we get it right.”
1:15:00–1:30:00 — Skinwalker doom-camping to close
-
Final clip: a guy taunts a Skinwalker, hears cries outside his tent, and… goes deeper into the cursed forest (of course).
-
He stumbles on eerie figurines and crosses hanging from trees; the dread spikes.
