In short

A “Ghostly Moments” compilation where the hosts and guests trade spooky/ghost-hunting stories, mock paranormal tech (EMF readers, spirit boxes, Ouija boards), and debate whether ghosts are real, while also weaving in absurd “cursed” ads and comedic horror bits.

Guest backgrounds

No named guests appear in the transcript; it’s a multi-host episode featuring recurring personalities (e.g., Bob, Mark, Wade, plus “Mandy” as a partner in one story). One segment references “an expert” who will cameo later, but no identity is given.

Key claims

Ghost-hunting devices are “bunk” because they’re just radio/edited footage; Ouija boards are treated as uniquely scary despite being a Parker Brothers toy; a new house and a hotel incident suggest real-world hauntings; a Malaysian legend, the Hantu Titek, is described as a back-breast smothering spirit used to scare boys.

Notable examples

Seeing a shadowy figure in a basement monitor reflection; a hotel door being slammed; a garage attic hatch tilting wider; ghost hunting at Bob Mackey’s (mob-history bar); jalapeno screaming possibly linked to a “pressed Ouija board”; Phasmophobia “campfire guitar guy” ghost; the Hantu Titek legend and its 2021 Twitter stir.

0:00For decades, a shadowy organization called the Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around. Lemon forward sodas, even lemon forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth. All hail for lemon. That's lemon propaganda right there. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda.

It's time for Ghostly Moments. Bob, do you have ghosts in front of you? In front of me? Is there a window in front of you or something? No. Are you referring to this? Yeah, I saw a shadowy figure. What is? What is going? It looks like a window and someone's walking by it. What is that? I'm in a basement. Let's be very clear about this. I'm in a basement. This is a TV that's off, that is reflective, but what it usually reflects is my monitors.

2:32And I just saw that. Yeah, you saw that too. Someone walked by. You can see my hand in the monitor, right? You could see like right here when I - Yeah, our angle I can't, but I believe you. I swear something walked by. I saw that because you made me look at it right where that - It looked like - What is that? What is that? I saw it. What is it? I'm in a basement. You got ghosts, man! What's happening? My monitors are all static except for your images right now. Good luck putting that in a YouTube short, editors. Man, Bob, if this is a prank, it's a good one. Dude, if this is a prank, I'm pranking my own self here too.

3:10What the fuck is happening? Hey, I'll give you 20 bucks to stand in front of this light while I'm recording an episode and just walk back and forth. I'm in a basement. There are like basement windows, but there's no way that they're reflecting. that's what's reflecting because they're covered by horizontal slats it keeps happening well man i didn't mean to derail your episode but yeah no fucking idea what that what's reflecting right now in that top part like what is that green line i don't know watch right here right you can see my hand shadow right there that's my hand in front of my monitors what is up wait i can obstruct that yeah it's a i don't have an explanation for that i think there's someone hiding behind your monitor i think that's the only thing the only other thing in my office that emits light is i have a over there up high i have a computer but it's purple it's all purple lighting inside my computer it's not green all the listeners are shaking their steering wheel listeners there's a tv that looks like someone's moving in front of a reflection in it.

4:19There you go. You're welcome. It honestly looks like someone is walking back and forth in front of the reflection. I'm alone in a basement. I don't know what to tell you. Are you? Okay, I hope so. I don't know. Oh, they walked the other way. It did go the other way. I saw that. If a face appears and stays there, maybe we'll talk to it. Maybe that'll be the episode. I don't like that. I don't like that. Oh, this is not a big thing, but it's preparation. Okay, so the day the mountains fall. I want y 'all to close your eyes, okay? Imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine.

4:50I went searching for the truth, and... Like a fool, I found it. But... Some truths... Are best left undiscovered. Well, I turned around, and there it was. Uh... It was bigger than I could've imagined. The hikers claim that when they turned around, it seemed as though their friend had simply... vanished. When I turned around, my whole farm was gone. I don't believe in ghosts. But when I turned around, I couldn't explain what I was seeing. This is Morbid Mysteries of the Missing Millennium. Viewer discretion is advised. If I swallow this right now and die, will you give me the point? That's worth at least two points, I guess, yeah.

5:39Everyone pull over to the side of the road. You gotta watch this one. Oh, big gulp. I'm dead. That's two points to mark, I guess. Jesus, I'm getting railroaded here, man. Well, thankfully, he can't compete for any more points now, right? If he comes back to life, he loses the two points, just to be clear. Anyway, interesting discussion. I think... Hey, what's up, guys? Back from the afterlife here. Want to finish this episode out strong. I'm going to cross out dead and take those two points away real quick. Can I get one point? I'm a ghost, man. All right, I'll give you one ghost point. Okay, cool.

6:12You hear my echoey voice and everything? Editors. Editors, don't do any of this. Just make him live with what he's done. No, please. I sign your checks. That's not even true. None of us sign shit. You're right, but I can call the person who does. I know them too. I have their number too. I'll call them and tell them not to listen to Mark. You don't even worry about it. All right, fine. We have to talk about a very important topic. I want you to use science. I want you to use mysticism. I want you to use personal beliefs, regardless of facts shown to you. I want you to use whatever methods necessary for you to discuss the important topic of are ghosts real?

6:51No. Final answer. All right. Episode over. All right. Thank you, everybody. Mark wins because he answered first. Thank you for listening to the podcast. Make sure that you watch it on Spotify. No. Well, so we can talk about this from several different perspectives. Thing number one that I have that I enjoy is ghost hunting, both the TV shows that exist around ghost hunting and the actual devices that you use to go ghost hunting like EMF readers and talk boxes or whatever they're called. And all the different little tools that you use to try and detect the presence of ghosts. All that stuff is very entertaining and hilarious and bunk.

7:26Do you guys believe in any of that stuff, that it works, that it means anything? No. Those shows? No. It is interesting that they would believe that it does, because if you even if you watch this of the show, the EMF thing with like the radio where it cycles through and it grabs like there'll be like a word came through. And I'm like, yeah, you're going through radio signal. The spirit box, the spirit box. EMF's the little light that electromagnetic field detector. Yeah. But it's just so funny to me because it's like, yeah, this thing, what it does is it cycles through the radio frequencies that are passing through.

7:59Yeah, it picks up words that are broadcast into this realm. But what happens whenever you ask it a question like, what do you want? And you hear apples. And it's like, clearly the ghost wants an apple. And you hear, my hips. And it's like, oh, Darren's Lauren. I heard that. I used to watch those ghost hunting shows quite a bit. They're very funny. They're so entertaining. They are edited in a way that just never gets to a conclusion ever. and it's like straight through the, like it goes up to the commercial break. It does, it's not even a cliffhanger. It's just a constantly building like, and then this happened.

8:33They circle back to the same clip of like a little dot going through with a circle on it. And then the circle's bigger and then it closer to the circle. And it's like, I can stretch that out for 10 minutes. And the sound, dude, the sound stingers they use. Oh my God. It's a black and white infrared shot of a door that's already open that just goes. And then I saw that the door was open. show the clip again and i don't remember opening the door and they put in the squeak sound effect yeah i love those shows like no and it's like a dane cook joke too some of those two they'll they'll be in a room and they'll the door will move or whatever thing falls over and they're like gary gary was down stick gary come up here gary's got the emf gary come up here a minute and a half ago did you get anything like well yeah no i got like a three like a three out of five on this uh reader thing why did something happen up here he got a three out of five it's like they're all through the house and it's like i was i was in the basement using the dividing rods you were in the upstairs with the dolls i don't know why because it's also painfully boring because you just know you watch a show you know the formula and you're like oh after the commercial they're just gonna come back and circle back to that one thing that happened but i have to see it because i want to see them all get so excited about it all right so this has happened a couple times in my life but specifically last night we were in a hotel um we just got back from traveling today last night at like 11 30 p.m isn't too late but we have a baby so he was already asleep for a couple hours at this point at 11 30 p.m some like kids some like middle school kids were staying in the hotel i think but they just slammed our door like we were staying in a hotel the door was locked with all the extra security locks and then we're just sitting mandy and i instead of laying in bed, like talking, kind of falling asleep.

10:22And it was just like, and like I heard feet, footsteps running away, right? Like I know that a human did it, but that shit has happened to be multiple times. How many people slam doors in hotels? Are I just really unlucky? That's never happened to me. It was scary. I've heard, I've had noisy people in a hotel, but I don't think they've ever slammed into my door. The box is waving at us, everybody. Hi box. That's horrifying. What is happening to that box? Hi box. Hi. Okay, you stay back there. Don't attack me while we're recording. That'd be great footage. I don't like that. Mandy's actually just off screen right now just doing that.

10:58At some point, she's just going to lurch out and tackle me. Okay, so hi. Welcome to Distractable. Oh, I assume that it has started already. When did we start? The haunted box really threw me. We're not going to talk about why that's doing that. If you're watching this on Spotify, you're seeing it, but you're seeing it and like just you got really squint and hold your phone really close up to your face yeah it's probably small on your phone it's fine it's fine don't worry about it totally fine will won't zoom in on that or anything at any point it's it's just not a big deal you were right thank you for admitting it i thought i thought that we were just having a goof and it was just a joke for an episode our new house is haunted oh our new house so my mandy's parents live 20 minutes away from our new house right so we're it's in ohio we still we're still in california right now so they're like watching the place right they go over there the new house is haunted the new the new house we don't live in yet is already haunted they go over there and they like make sure everything's good make sure you know whatever make they just check on the house just to make sure and so this is the garage which is gonna show on my phone wow that's hideous there we go this is like a hatch like into the attic of the garage right yeah they went over there one day and they sent us they like panic sent us some text messages and we're like something something moved in the house we think someone's been in the house i can't we can't tell it's weird it doesn't seem like there's no break-in.

12:31But, look. Oh. Look. They sent that like a week ago, maybe? Or a while ago now. And on that day, they sent that and we were like, whoa. What the hell? Did the previous owners leave something in the attic in the garage and they came back and broke into the house? Like they had a key or something and got in? Or what? We don't know. Like, what happened? But, for those listening at home, Sorry, listeners. Good idea, Mark. I wouldn't even tell him. The first picture was like, you know, it's an attic access. So you push up on it and it slides. It's just a big piece of wood. And then you climb in the hole into the attic.

13:14The first picture was closed and sealed. The second picture was slightly askew with gaps where I could see the darkness beyond. But it looks like, so correct me if I'm wrong. It looks like in order to move it, you have to lift up and twist it. This isn't just a panel that can shift on itself. It needs to be push up, right? It's supposed to be set into a thing where you push up and it goes into the attic, yes. So it looks like, like my first thought was, okay, a raccoon or something. But a raccoon scootering across, it wouldn't lift it up necessarily unless they dug at it. Right. And there is a ladder in the garage.

13:49According to our parents, they left a ladder or something, I think. They went back to the house today. The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up. flip the sip

14:32it's the same hatch more tilted open oh did they reset it when they saw it last time no so this is on the ceiling of like a pretty high garage right the garage is like 12 foot it's like a tall garage door so they couldn't reach it and they're not trying to climb up on a ladder or something they just so they left it from the they left it in this condition here where it's very slightly tilted open. That was like a week ago-ish. That was a while ago. They went back today, and it's open by like a few more inches. It's way more open. Your reflections are showing in my phone. Hey, guys. How's it going?

15:11I can see the latency. So the house is haunted, you bastards. That's haunted. That is haunted. It doesn't look light. It looks like it's got some weight to it. No, it's like made of wood. It's got a metal, like around the edge, It's just metal for like the seal. Got a handle on it. It looks like it would, it wouldn't be like hard to open, but you would have to climb up a ladder and like, and move it out of the way to get into the attic. That thing's going to be out and falling and breaking on the floor soon. So it's either a ghost or someone lives in that attic. That's what I thought it was. If I'm honest, I thought they sold the house and didn't tell Crenfield, the guy who lives in the attic.

15:52and then like he came out for his monthly trip to the grocery store was like guys oh no oh god they forgot about credfield so fourth of july i went over to my mom's and we like my family came over we had like a little get together for fourth of july and we had a weird event where we were sitting around talking and one of my like mom and sister's dogs went and like was chewing on they grow like their own like herbs and vegetables and stuff in their backyard and the dog went like started chewing on one of those and like mid-sentence like we were talking to my mom and my sister my mom just starts yelling jalapeno jalapeno jalapeno and we're like okay we were talking about like cameras mom what the hell what just happened and she's like well it's hot i was like excuse me it's what we yell to the dogs to get them to stop eating stuff they're not supposed to because jalapenos are hot i was like you trained them on a jalapeno a four-syllable word to tell them to stop or hot?

16:50And they're like, well, no, we didn't train them. So why do you yell jalapeno? Guess the dog knows jalapenos are spicy and the dogs don't like spicy food. But the dog doesn't know jalapeno. It's just as fucking shocked as we are that my mom goes from talking calmly and normally to screaming jalapeno like she's being murdered in the backyard. We trained our dog to react to me screaming nonsense words out of nowhere, very hysterically. It always works. Because it's just so shocking. My mom would be like, oh yeah, that's cool. Jalapeno! Jalapeno! And I thought she was being possessed by a demon. Did we do an episode since I went ghost hunting?

17:33No. Wait, you went ghost hunting? Yeah, I did. I did go ghost hunting. I don't know if that video will be out yet. We're actually waiting on a cameo from an expert in the field to fully edit the video. Look forward to that. but I went ghost hunting down at Bob Mackey's which is in Newport, Kentucky. It's like a bar that has a history of being owned by the mob and people being interrogated in the basement and other such events. We went down there and filmed some stuff and nobody would do the Ouija board with me except for DLive. Everybody was afraid. Even non-believers were like, oh, Ouija board which I don't get it.

18:10What is so special about a Ouija? You'll get a spirit box. You'll be like ghost, show yourself. Give me, pinch me. Suck my balls, ghost. Punch me, ghost. But if you touch a Ouija board, you're like, what is your name? They're like, oh, don't ask that. Not on a Ouija board. And the Ouija board says fucking Parker Brothers on the bottom. So it's a goddamn kid's toy. But for some reason, it's the scariest ghost hunting device. And I don't understand it. It's because they're real, Wade. Okay, the rest of that stuff is technological gobble gobble. Ouija boards are made of wood and like plastic and glass and whatever and it's just real it's just the spirits reaching out and sending you a message okay?

18:50People are walking around with their holy water their cameras their EMF readers all the other devices and they're like ghost pinch me throw a table at me do something and I'm like what year were you born? and they're like, oh, you fucking fool. That's a Ouija board. So we wrap up and we're coming home. And I was like, hey, can you guys carry this out? I was like packing up equipment. I was like trying to get someone to carry the Ouija board. No one would touch it. My sister went with this and she was like, I'm not taking that back home with me because it was their Ouija board. She's like, you can have it.

19:20So I brought the Ouija board back and now I own a Ouija board that everyone thinks is possessed by a demon. And when my mom started fucking screaming jalapeno, I was like, oh my God, they were right. She's possessed. You look over at the window and the Ouija board is pressed up against the window and the thing is just Fragically pointing at yes, the Ouija board is all yes, yes, yes Yeah, um, but that was the only thing that could possibly have explained jalapeno until she told me what the hell was going on But ghost hunting, man, is it more expensive than I thought? And it's like four or five hours of being in a fairly uncomfortable building uncomfortably with not much happening Maybe it's because you got a cheap Parker Brothers one and not an actual authentic I thought that was authentic.

20:02Is there a brand of authentic Ouija board? Real Ouija boards are hand-hewn by Monsieur Ouija himself, obviously. They only come from the Ouija part of France. Yeah, everyone knows that. You were using a sparkling board. That joke really landed. It's the same board that we use for Drowned Man. Oh, well then you know it works. Yeah, that's extra cursed. So you're going to burn that house down now that you moved into the new one? The fiery man! I don't want to be the fiery man. Please don't wish that upon me. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, no. What other disaster is funniest? What disaster would be funniest to befall you?

20:42The gas leak man! Yeah! Dude, I just had propane work done. Don't wish that upon me. The carbon monoxide poisoning man! The bad grating man! All the water's gonna drain right up against your foundation! Oh! Oh, your basement's gonna be so moist. The sinkhole man. Ooh, that one sounds dangerous. No, oh, the other ones are safe. Yeah, probably. I don't know. I don't like any of this shit for the record. You know what's gonna be cursed is your car. You ever get a car, that's where it's gonna be. Well, I've beat them to the punch. If you don't have one, they can't curse. The semi man. The crashed man.

21:22The crushed man. Well, that sounds violent. Oh, yeah. The fired man sounds so less violent. You can run away from a fire if you're crushed. What are you going to do? Uncrush yourself? I don't know. Yeah, all the people that have died in fires, they just didn't run fast enough. Yeah, idiots. Obviously, you just run away from it. Fire can't be that fast. Silly, silly. I have something I want to play for you. Have you ever felt a chill up your spine? I don't know, man. Something just feels off. Like you know there's something standing right behind you, but you just can't turn around. Cut it out, man.

21:57You're giving me the creeps. What if I told you that the world was stranger than you could ever possibly imagine? I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't believe in ghosts. But something just feels weird. Welcome to Unusual Oddities of an Unreal Understanding. Unrunding. Usual oddities of an unrunding understanding. I enjoy the reference back to turning around and ghosts. View discretion as advised. Of course. I can't believe you would interrupt that. I put so much work into that and you just interrupted? Yes. Interrupt the 15 second interlude in that song? Will, cut him out. Yeah, yeah, cut him out of there.

22:46No, Amy was literally like, oh my god, in that gap, they're gonna start talking in there because they're gonna think it's over. Well, yeah, there isn't a necessarily long pause. That pause, that, that is 50 seconds long. I don't know why in that song. I made that literally in between the break. I told you I was going to get food. I skipped food to make that. I don't know, man. Stop it, man. You're giving me the creeps. Like, zoinks, man. Oh my God, they never miss. Mark, how is that such a skill you possess? They're literally all bangers. I don't understand. I don't believe in ghosts. Cards on the table.

23:25I found this in a cracked article titled The Seven Most Ridiculous Ghost Stories from Around the World. And I read it passively while I was brainstorming ideas for this episode. But I came across this ghost and I had to tell you all about the Hantu Titek. So just to give you the background, the legend has it. The Hantu Titek is a female spirit apparition ghost. some say a witch, a Balinese witch, with an unimaginably enormous rack. And this ghost's purpose is only to float around and smother disobedient young men to death with her shocking bazooms. Guys might hear that and be like, all right, if I have to die.

24:09This is not like some anime fantasy girl is going to show up and come fulfill all your dreams or whatever. Hantu Tateks are described in a lot of ways. Generally, they're described as being very large or extremely obese, decrepit looking like deathly old woman sort of look. But the real absolute banger of all of this is the hilariously large fun bags are in the spookiest location, not in the front where regular boobs go. They're located on the ghost's back. no yes the spookiest place to have boobs obviously that's terrifying back boobs sound kind of nice to me but anyway this this ghost comes from malaysian culture and actually recently had a quite the quite the stir up in february of 2021 had quite the come up on twitter the account at bungenberry i have no idea what inspired this person to do this but they posted some sketches of what they thought this ghost looked like and twitter couldn't decide if they were going to be horny about it or terrified about it and they basically went with both a lot of the responses were dudes just being like oh how do i summon a little how to tech yeah i want some of this in my like and and a lot of them were like i would not mess with this yeah well i mean it's a ghost is it really actually going to be able to physically interact with you it seems to suggest it might be some sort of um poltergeist instead of just a ghost yeah i mean it's the descriptions are vague this is this is an old it's it comes from malaysia i am not malaysian i don't know if you can tell um from my appearance or you know all the information you know about me but like it's hard to find a lot online i'll show you all of the links i found online i will put in the discord so you can look who knows how it uses the boobs to suffocate you i don't want to find out being crushed i Death is not a good...

26:06Volunteer's tribute. Okay, never mind. I would deduct points from you, Ray. We all gotta go sometime, man. If you're gonna go, you might as well enjoy it. No, that's the exact logic that the stupid people are getting. You're getting crushed to death. It doesn't matter if it's between back mams or front mams. I survived 2020, maybe I'll survive the back boobs too. You never know. Just like, I don't get how that's an appealing death. What is an appealing death? You're getting smooshed between humongoid boobalooos. So I will say, you guys, I don't know what pictures you've looked up exactly. Let me find the one.

26:40This website has some good imagery that really might swing your opinion about... It's not in English, and I couldn't get it to translate. It's from the Wayback Machine. But there are some images that I feel like might really swing your opinion about whether or not you want to get smothered to death by those big old headlights. The top one's a little more childish, a little cartoony. Yeah, yeah, okay. But if you get to the bottom there, you really get more to the meat of what I think a Hantu to tech looks like. Because anime has taught us that boobs grow as spheres or something. Perfectly spherical.

27:18We all know this. This is not how boobs work. I hate to break it to you. I've never seen anything quite like that, though. They really are like scarves or like snakes, even. See, the problem is, like, I disagree fundamentally that bigger is always better when it comes to boobs. Like, and to be perfectly honest, I shouldn't just be making big declaratives about judgment of boobs, you know, in general. I agree with your disagreement. I think that any size can be very nice. I'm going to get myself in trouble, man. I'm a married man. Well, I didn't say bigger. Bigger might not be better, but I didn't say bigger was worse.

27:54You know what I mean? No, I agree. I don't, I think it, uh, each titty deserves to be judged on its own merits. Yeah. Why do titties have to be judged? Why are you judging? Yeah. Why are they going to be judging? They're, it's, it's, it's, it's like a, the, they're always, it's always a positive judge. Fuck, fuck. I'm in trouble. Go ahead. But yeah, look, so this is an interesting topic. It stirs a lot of different emotions about general horniness, general discussion of like death, but death in a way that's sort of comical, but like, does that make it better? the thing that i find really messed up about this saggy specter gotta work in my name nice nice at least to some extent it comes from my understanding comes from parents using this to scare their young male children into behaving themselves this isn't just like some goat like i could totally imagine someone creative coming up with this character some adult or whatever someone over you know teenager older coming up with this and be like aha big tits and stuff it's a scary funny ghost This was used by adults to influence children.

28:56And like, I was a young boy once, right? And if my parents had described the giggity ghost to me as being very old and grotesque and scary looking with back boobies, it was confusing. I would probably be scared. But like, young boys are really horny. Yeah. And I would definitely at least have toyed around with the idea of like, how much do I misbehave? To just get a little threatening smoosh without actually being smothered to death. Like, where's the line? Just get slapped with one tit, you know? Like, it's a tough slap, but you know, it's more disciplinary. I just posted a picture in Discord of something I found about the Huntutec.

29:36Ooh, man. Yeah, might lean a little more on the horror side of things. That one I definitely lean away. That one would be one that would work. That's the worst. Yeah. When it's 50 % nipple and yeah. If you're listening at home, you can find, maybe, find this on the Distractable Podcast website. Either that or we will do a faithful recreation of it. Or it won't exist at all. Unless we don't need a special license to post it. I don't know. Exactly. But yeah, no, that doesn't look good. Sidebar, there's a whole discussion to be had of like the sexualization of breasts in general you know the stigma behind it and all that stuff but for you guys not even the nice pictures do anything for me i don't look at this creature and i'm like well maybe if i saw this and i i wasn't sure it was just a person that needed to help i would be running and screaming as fast and as loud as i possibly could yeah i don't think this is exactly what i would be fantasizing about ever i mean i think you're right but also like your parents describe this to you or maybe you see it and it i think i agree i would not see an image of any of these things in real life and be like yeah let's see where this goes sorry this is my last one but i gotta work it in i would come upon this flabbergasted phantasm that's another point right there that's another point yeah and i would be absolutely shocked and running like you're describing but in my mind like this is you know it's kind of embarrassing to think about and admit but in my mind i know i would have fantasies about this you can't throw something that like sexual and i mean it's not sexual but the boobs like at least in in the culture i came up in boobs were sexual and everything was like this weird i would twist it into a fantasy of like oh yeah that's pretty hot actually like you know what that's how that's how young boys minds work and maybe part of this is that malaysian culture is different maybe boobs are not as sexualized by the culture maybe it's a whole different thing.

31:34Maybe this is terrifying and I just don't understand it. It's possible. But I just think that would have made it some really messed up childhood fantasies and thought experiments. It's just a weird angle to go for keeping your kids in line. There's got to be better ghosts and things to use to scare your kids into behaving right. But Wade here, ready to pick it back up and bring it back. I'm looking at this like wheel of emotions and they've got different colors associated with them but the three main colors are like red yellow and blue but red yellow and blue are kind of somewhat closer together and then they've got green across from red which is a little bit weird and for the life of me i cannot figure out why in the world it's designed that way instead of having red yellow and blue equidistant from each other and i'm just curious why green gets like two shades of green and a light blue, but red and blue just have one pink between them.

Read the full transcript

32:29Uh, red and yellow just have one orange between them. And I don't know why green gets so much love on this list. Are you trying to distract me? Is that... Huh? What? What do you mean? Oh, is that on the list? That's crazy. I've never been more focused on anything in my entire life. Are you kidding me? Oh my God. For those who weren't watching for that moment, there's no words I could describe. Except yes, I have words to describe that. Oh, sorry. My little weird paper towel ball. Yeah, I'll try to describe it. Listeners Wade sat with his face barely in the shot. And that's why he sounded so distant.

33:12And then he was just waving a weird crumpled up paper towel in and out of the other side of the shot. The whole time he was talking about the colors. Oh man. Mark says this is the best episode ever. I had to give it my all to do. I don't like to admit it to anyone, but yes, I paid this man$60 to come to my house so I could smell his fingers on my birthday. Oh, did you? Yes, three separate times I smelled this man's fingers. Three times? That's a little strange. And none of the times did his fingers smell like maple syrup. They were bad. It got away from bad to worse. The mystery thickens. You know, and there were only two pipes you rubbed on, so I swear to God, I don't know what the third one was that I smelled, but they were all bad.

33:48I don't mean to say it, but have you thought about a Canadian ghost? Like, I hadn't. There are a lot of Canadian ghost refugees in Ohio. Are you, is your house on a Canadian burial ground? Is this, like, I just gotta ask. Yes, people do. They have their pilgrimage from Canada to Cincinnati to bury their loved ones where I live quite often. I feel it. I had an experience in Phasmophobia the other day. So Phasmophobia added this new map, a new game mode. They had a nightmare mode, a new map called the campsite. And in the campsite, there's this campfire. and sitting by the campfire is just like an acoustic guitar laying against like one of the chairs and immediately all i could think of is like campfire guitar guy don't want to be campfire guitar guy don't want to be that one guy and uh i was hunting this ghost what the ghost name was but uh one of the audio clues is to figure out where it was it randomly played the guitar like it just strummed it so i heard the guitar play and i was like you gotta be fucking kidding me we actually have a campfire guitar guy ghost and i jokingly said that it was a yokai and yokais are the ghosts that get angry and are more likely to hunt if you're talking and using your microphone it can hear you and it gets more agitated and more likely to hunt sure and i said that because i was like well if there's one thing that campfire guitar guy doesn't want to want people talking while they're trying to steal the show and have all eyes on them and ended up being a yokai but it made me think of the that one guy campfire guitar guy not to point any fingers at anybody that i know but i do know a couple of campfire guitar guys that carried around guitars or carry around guitars and uh not necessarily did it for the whole same reasons as the stereotype but i definitely think of like you know you watch a movie and there's a stereotypical guy that you know people are sitting on the beach and they're all having a fun conversation someone's just like oh by the way uh we play wonder ball for you and they pull up their acoustic guitar out of nowhere and everyone has to stop talking and just put their eyes on campfire guitar guy who's miraculously not wearing a shirt you know hair drooped down to their shoulders muscly playing their guitar and And everyone's just like, well, we were talking and having a good time.

35:42I guess we'll just stare at you now. And I got that ghost and phasmophobia. But that's another that one guy. No? No Campfire Guitar Guys? I've never experienced that in real life ever. No, you talk about Campfire Guitar Guy way more than anyone has ever experienced Campfire Guitar Guy. Because I know this is a thing that you tell. You're Campfire Guitar Guy talking about Campfire Guitar Guy guy. You literally mention Campfire Guitar Guy at any turn. I remember when I was trying to I was playing the guitar like for the tour and I was like, yeah I'm trying to improve better myself and you're like, oh here comes campfire People that play guitar I might maybe

36:28Jesus I didn't I shouldn't have put my desk up and standing but I was just fucking fell over Oh my god this image is a guy with his hands up in fist form with his chin resting, eyes closed and the fart genie is leaving his armpit. Yeah, imagine the statue of the thinker. Yeah. The man is pulling a double thinker. Why is he grabbing his head like that? Wants to make sure he doesn't look back here to see what's going on, you know? Keep that head turned to me. This guy's like, you don't want to see what I'm about to do, bro. Oh, wow. I feel like this one's such a peculiar image. It must be obvious.

37:08It's the most trash bag like ghost I've ever seen.

37:15It's like someone saw one of those online tutorials like all you need is some chicken wire and paper mache and you can make a ghost decoration for your front yard for Halloween. And then they tried to make it and they got this. Maybe it's the angle, but like the face of the ghost does not look like it could possibly be this dude's face. This gave me an idea because I'm going to get back into learning Korean as soon as I'm done with this freaking movie. These would be great for flashcards. This would be great for flashcards for Korean. Yeah, because for flashcards, what's really good if you have image flashcards is getting images that are memorable, but also completely unique.

37:49I don't think that there's anything more unique than this. And if you can even relate, even somehow relate it to a word or a sentence, it would be very good for that. All right. I'm going to play as you tell me if You hear it. Isn't something smell a little off to you? It's too loud? It's a little loud, but yeah, I do hear it. All right, hold on. Sorry. Back up. Pretend you didn't hear that. All right, here we go. Ready? Are you ready? No. Don't do it again. Isn't something smell a little off to you? Hey, do you smell something? Well, that's a weird smell. I don't know what it is. Have you ever felt the chill run up your spine?

38:27It was like something sat me on the shoulder, But when I turned around... Get ready to forget everything you know about everything. Guys, I'm still smelling something weird. A whole city of people just turning round and round, endlessly! All right, if someone doesn't say they're smelling what I'm smelling, I swear I'm... Oh my god. What happened to the moon? You expect me to believe we're surrounded by gases that we cannot see? I know what clouds look like. Those aren't clouds! Welcome to the show that was formally known as Don't Look Up, but we were sued by some dumbass in a movie studio. This is It's In The Air.

39:11Viewer discretion is advised.

39:18So... When I told you I was late because I was working on a thing... Mark, it's so good. That's great. Sorry, it was so loud. I tried to do a hack to get it to play for you guys. I was pretty sure. Yeah, Mark was late to the recording today because he was working on this. I think I'm understanding why Iron Lung's taking a while. Damn. Look, guys, I'm not going to lie. He spent three days on this. So I'm not going to lie. I spent so long working on this this morning, I didn't come up with an idea for the episode. I did this. Because I was like, I'm going to bring up the small thing during small talk.

40:01This will be a funny way to do it because I haven't done one of these in a while. And I had a bunch of problems with the software because I haven't done it on this computer in a while. And so I had to reinstall DaVinci and all my software. So anyway, did you? That admission actually gave me a headache. My brain could not comprehend. You'll never guess what I'm googling right now.

That's not how that works I don't have object permanence, so I'm scared. Oh, I mean that gave me chills

42:38No,

42:42oh my god, you can have it Jesus Christ where'd he go?

How would you know that sound? It's like a slidey slappy noise. Slidey slappy? I might be about to get Samarid. Well, I'm going to keep the recording, Rolly, then. I don't want to leave the camera.

43:29Theory. Theory. I'm scared of everything. It's because I have a Fantasia. I can't imagine what anything looks like. So while I'm experiencing things, as soon as I have it in my head, it's like, oh there's a ghost but and then in my head i'm like what what there's a what does a ghost look like which one's a ghost what's and then in real life my body is like oh we don't know it could be anything because i don't know what it is it's just a feeling and the feeling is fear that's interesting that's an interesting thought though maybe because if everything's always unknown to you because you can't picture it i that's what is it what does a ghost smell like i imagine bad but it's hard to say In an age where digital content reigns supreme, a mysterious audio series emerges, captivating minds with enigmatic themes and challenging narratives.

44:16But behind the allure lies a shadow organization with a hidden agenda. As listeners become unwitting participants in a clandestine experiment, ethical boundaries or shatters in lives are irrevocably altered. Unbeknownst to them, select individuals are identified for their psychic potential. drawn into advanced studies from which some never return. As desperate families and anonymous insiders come forward, the question arises, how did a seemingly innocuous form of entertainment become a conduit for something so dark and dangerous? Well, it all lies in the person at the center of these events, the eye of the storm that is the whirlpool of darkness and dismay.

44:57I would like to start with some quotes that pertain to the event from people that were affected directly. Quote from Sarah Williams.

45:32seemingly spinning off in random circles, covering topics they already talked about weeks, sometimes years before. I had nightmares, and then I started seeing things, shadows, flashes of images that weren't there. Whatever they were doing, it's not just a podcast anymore. Something darker, and I want no part of it. At the core of all this is one man, one man above all else. Bob Miskins, host of the popular podcast Distractable, is in fact a cover for a sinister government operation known as Project Distraction. In the podcast, Bob seems to talk about random, unrelated topics, but in reality, he's subtly planting seeds of doubt and distrust in the minds of his listeners.

46:10It's all a psychological experiment aimed with identifying potential recruits for the organization. I'm here to expose the truth about it. Wait, would you? The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. that hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the sip like to contribute i found some information that i found to be very intriguing that uh i don't know mark if this corroborates what you found or if this is its own thing.

46:58I have found evidence from what was the name of the person you did you say Sarah Williams? Yeah Sarah Williams. Okay this is either the same Sarah Williams or a different Sarah Williams because I've also got information from Sarah Williams. Suggesting that there are either two he's living a double life or he has a twin he's never revealed. While the well-known version of Bob My Skins is a well-known YouTuber and gaming content creators primarily known for his gaming videos and collaborates with their content creators. Sarah Williams talks of the same person in an entirely different set of circumstances, and I actually have her testimony.

47:27Sarah Williams is an investigative journalist with a passion for unraveling mysteries, and is an avid fan of MySkerm's gaming adventures and content. She heard some rumors floating around that there was a Robert MySkerm, a scientist and inventor, doing all kinds of, like, ungodly, horrible deeds in the town of, let me see what it was, Hickselville. He was known far and wide as MySkirm, a name that sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it. MySkirm had a reputation for being a recluse. He resided in a grand, ancient mansion on the outskirts of town, a mansion that seemed to hold secrets of centuries past.

48:01Some said it was cursed, while others believed it was filled with hidden treasures. The townsfolk whispered tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena surrounding the mansion, fueling the curiosity and fear of the locals. One fateful day, a young and brave journalist, Sarah, arrived determined to uncover the truth about MySkirm's anemic mansion. She believed there was more to the story than spooky legends circulating in the town. Her journey was fraught with obstacles, including skeptical townsfolk who warned her to stay away. But undeterred, she persisted, researching old archives, interviewing those who dared speak about Meister.

48:27As she delved deeper into the mystery, she discovered that he had once been a renowned inventor and scientist, his mansion held countless inventions, many of which were years ahead of their time. One evening, she wrote, as a storm raged outside, I ventured into the mansion determined to find the truth. I uncovered hidden rooms filled with mesmerizing gadgets, intricate blueprints, and a journal detailing Bob's life's work. I realized that my skirm had not been a recluse out of fear or malevolence, but rather to protect his revolutionary creations from falling into the wrong hands. As I explored further, I encountered a holographic projection of Bob himself.

48:57In this hologram, he explained he had dedicated his life to advancing technology for the betterment of humanity. He remained hidden to safeguard his inventions and ensure they would only be revealed when the world was ready for their potential. I asked, what about your public persona, your gaming content, your streams? To which he replied, oh, I'm not prepared to talk about that. For you see, that's not me. And as soon as it began, the hologram ended, leaving Sarah confused, wondering, what did he meet? Were there two Bobs? Was it one Bob? Did he have a twin? And such a lot is left to our imaginations.

49:28Yeah, I've got to actually, I think I corroborate that like perfectly because there's an anonymous insider from the organization that this mysterious Bob was running that is trying to expose the truth. They said, quote, I worked or I work or worked within the organization behind Distractable. The public needs to understand that this isn't just an experiment. It has real consequences. People have disappeared and not just figuratively. I can't reveal my identity for obvious reasons, but someone has to blow the whistle on this. Don't engage with their special episodes. Don't become another missing piece in their twisted puzzle.

49:57What I think is happening is it's a consciousness upload program where they're trying to get people to upload their consciousness and then use their corporeal forms as puppets, but they can control the population. So you think like the public persona version is forming an audience just to have sheep to lead to the slaughter, so to speak? Absolutely. You upload the consciousness of the individual. They can exist online making content they've never seen them in real life. It's Pied Piper leading them all into the machine slaughter. I feel like if we looked at certain points of Bob's career, we could probably pinpoint the progress.

50:31What he was uploading, how he was acting, where he was living, and different events that were happening in those areas. I think there's a lot of dots to be connected. And Sarah Williams is the key. Yeah, I actually have another quote from Sarah Williams. I think it's her last one. So this is from a, this is a text transcription of an audio log that Sarah left behind on her final exploration. I've made it into a room that appears to be some sort of control center. There are monitors displaying real-time analytics of listener engagement, biometric data, even geolocation. It's not just a podcast.

51:00It's a data collection operation on a massive scale. and there's something else. Files marked phase three. I didn't open them, but their very existence is chilling. This isn't just unethical, it's organized, premeditated exploitation. I've gathered as much evidence as I can and I'm getting out of here before I'm discovered. What I've seen goes beyond mere speculation or conspiracy theory. It's organized manipulation with unknown but clearly dangerous aims. Whoever's behind this has resources, intelligence, and a complete disregard for ethical boundaries. Listen, if you're tuning into that podcast or thinking about it.

51:32Just stop. Don't be another pawn in their game. I'll do everything in my power to expose them, but for now, stay safe and stay skeptical. People have disappeared, and the rest is just screaming. I tried to look up what happened to her, and what I got was Sarah Williams, the intrepid investigative journalist, had always been relentless in her pursuit of the truth, but when she got too close to a shadowy conspiracy, she mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving behind a trail of clues and a haunting question that still lingers in the world of journalism. Kind of fits what her warning was all about.

52:01Absolutely. I think at the core of all this, we need to look more deeply into who this Robert is. Agreed. Also, Bob points. Ha ha. Ha ha ha.

52:18So, listen. Hey, folks, that's all we have time for today on the Curious Conspiracy Corner. we've explored some wild theories some wacky ideas maybe even ventured a bit too close to the edge of absurdity uh remember conspiracy theories are meant for entertainment purposes not for taking seriously so please don't go accusing anyone of secret syndicates or government activity or anything without any evidence which we did not present any today cause this was just for jokes and stuff and uh yeah Watch new episodes on Spotify.
