Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
We were supposed to... We kind of planned to have a guest. We still might. We still might. I don't know. Why do I have no headroom? Oh, you must have been slouching.
Oh.
Yep. Was I? Is that possible? Could I have been slouching? I'm getting a call from Kunkeltown, Pennsylvania.
There's no way that's real. That's amazing. Well, you answer that call.
I'm going to answer the call from Kunkeltown. Well, he just... Hello. Hello. Hello? Hello? With what? I'm not... I know you're a scam caller, so I'm not even sorry to say... I cannot understand a goddamn word you're saying. You even gonna admit it? You gonna own up to it? You gonna be like, yes, I'm a dirty, dirty boy? I'm a little scam call slut? Hmm? Hmm? Anybody there? No? Coward. Coward.
Oh, that's great. Listen, man, I'm getting a call from Kunkel Town.
For those of you who are not aware of the trials and tribulations he has been going through in terms of scam calls, would you like to elaborate?

Chapter 2: What are the challenges of dealing with scam calls?
I literally get like two dozen a day. I don't know why. Just out of nowhere, I haven't put my phone number into anything.
Yep.
I don't know what's going on. I just suddenly, like... I would think that they'd be too busy. What with the conflict. Which one? The one in Kashmir. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Like, it's just...
Like, bro, Clover, do not read it. Yeah, exactly. It's such a good video. Also, by the way, just because I'm seeing a bunch of super chats coming now, just as a reminder, we are so appreciative and we love you guys so much. And thank you so much for sending all of them.
However, due to the fact that we do, in fact, need to sleep and it's, again, another short week, we are only going to answer super chats up until 745, or at least they come up until 745.
If it comes in before 745, it will get answered. If it comes in after, it really depends.
Yes. If it's like $100,000 bajillion, then we will get it.
Then we'll get it, obviously. That's not encouraging you to spend more money. It's really just like when that happens, we're like, okay, well, we can't not respond to that.
We want to give proper recognition to those who give us that much money.

Chapter 3: How do recent murders connect to local lore?
Yeah, exactly. Dude, I would watch a dark Backyardigans... film. Like a Backyardigans horror film.
Somebody has to have made that YouTube video. There's gotta be a video.
I'm sure there's one out there.
Oh, guys, what do you think about us doing BS on a different channel where we literally just come up with random conspiracy theories and then rant about it for an hour? Like, the deep, dark truth behind the Backyardigans is actually, like, it's a representation for the Manson family? Like, makes no sense. Is not real.
Honestly, it would be... The thing we could do is we could, like, you guys could give us... conspiracy theories yes and then we have to do it
This this is this is essentially us attempting to start making up for not having done any of the donation goals.
Yeah.
Maybe this is how we start.
Yeah. Like the kind of the thought process was honestly, I would replace this show with that if you guys wanted us to. It's hard enough to figure out what to talk about each and every week. But no, if you guys give us like just, you know, random conspiracy theory ideas, we could absolutely do a show where we just improv it.

Chapter 4: What happened in the Dyatlov Pass incident?
We do.
Because there's a ton of info on that. Apparently she has literally like crates of information about it. So.
Yeah. Binders full of women.
Yes.
Yes.
Themselves.
They've been shrunken down. Bringing all of the old political stuff back. Yeah. That was a wild.
Did you hear? I think it was Kat told me today. Apparently there is a new serial killer in Massachusetts right now. I did not look into this at all, but apparently over the last month, like 20-some bodies have been discovered. Wow. Yeah. Let's look this up.
Let's do a live research. That's a really quick body count for a serial killer. Like he just started? Or like this has been going on for 20 years and they found 20 bodies?

Chapter 5: How does social media influence crime narratives?
But in a statement, the Bristol Plymouth High School in Taunton told WPRI there was no threat to students or staff and the building wasn't placed on lockdown. However, Myers is the 12th body to have been found since February in the New England area, fueling fears online that there could be a serial killer in the area.
That's a quick working serial killer if it is.
Oh, yeah. On March 25th, a separate body was found in Taunton. The individual was identified as Samuel Stovall, 51, and authorities said his death hasn't been deemed suspicious. New England law enforcement officials have so far denied these deaths are connected with a serial killer.
However, in early March, detectives found the body of Paige Fannin, 35, in the Norwalk River in Norwalk, Connecticut, and the body of Megan Meredith, 45, of Springfield, Massachusetts, was found on March 22nd. On March 6th, a human skull was found in a wooded area off Route 3 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and authorities have not released any further details.
When speaking to reporters, Hampton District Attorney Anthony D. Galluni downplayed concerns that there might be a serial killer. Quote, while online conversation around these incidents continues to grow, we urge the public to be mindful of the role social media can play in spreading fear or misinformation.
Unverified claims can compromise active investigations and contribute to a sense of chaos that does not reflect the full picture. I will say the more I read, I don't know if you're noticing this, but... This sounds like the smiley face killer phenomenon. It sounds like the situation in Austin to me. Yes, specifically that.
Because it seems like there might be a small pocket that are related, but a lot of the cases don't have relevant factors. How old was the most recent guy? Most recent guy was on... Hang on.
Did it say?
Yeah, I'm currently trying to find a date. It does not say a date as far as I can see about when he was found.

Chapter 6: Is there a modern serial killer trend?
If you've never been to Pittsburgh, it is at the confluence of two rivers, right? I think it's three. The Monongahela and the Allegheny?
I could be wrong. I think it's three.
Is there a third one?
I believe so.
But basically, the city is built around Fort Pitt, which is actually the spot where... I don't know why this one specific camera always, like, for a second, has trouble tracking me. Fort Pitt is the fort where they tried to do the smallpox blankets thing. It didn't work because they did not understand germ theory.
And they thought you could just... They thought smallpox would just kind of hang out for a while. It didn't. It dies after, like, I think a couple hours outside of the body. Yeah, I think it's just the two, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's the Monongahela and the Allegheny, and they form the Ohio.
Yep, yep. I think that was my confusion. The Ohio, I thought, was the third one. Yep.
Yeah, so Pittsburgh, it's pretty flat around Fort Pitt, and then right across the river from that on the one side is just a cliff, right? And then across the river on the other side is just another like kind of level grounded area. So the thing is, there's just so many bridges. Yeah, it's also there's a weird rumor that Pittsburgh has like the most bridges of any city in the world.
And that's just not true. I don't think it's even true in America.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Salem Witch Trials?
And she was like, you would have needed like billions of tons to have escaped in order to disperse at a level and a timeframe that would have actually been feasible for them to have experienced the system, the symptoms described in this scenario.
Yeah.
So it's just, it's not likely.
No. Um, Man, that was a weird one.
It was. It was a cool one.
That was one of those ones where I'm sitting there on the phone with him, and we're just kind of like talking back and forth, and we were kind of like, oh, wait a minute. Yeah, well, again, that was the thing. I think the wind was you.
Yeah, because I thought of whale wars. That is the reason that I thought about the wind is because I remembered that they used the they didn't use it themselves. They got it used upon them. The LRAD system. Yeah.
And I know it was in the whale wars guys with LRAD.
the Japanese whaling fleet. And this is like in 2006. Wait, does Japan have like an official whaling fleet? They call them research vessels. I don't know if it's changed, but back in the early 2000s, they had a fleet of whaling ships where they would take whales for research purposes because it was legal to take a certain number of whales for research. Mm-hmm.

Chapter 8: How do we approach fringe theories in archaeology?
I don't think it was like a, it wasn't like a blizzard.
Yeah.
But it would have, that's where the winds come in. It's like if there were katabatic winds, that could have caused confusion. Yeah. So what I think happened with the Dyatlov group is that they, so first of all, a piece that often gets left out of the story, they didn't just go up onto the mountainside and say, we're going to stay here.
it took them longer than they expected to get packed up that morning. They had to make a supply cache further down the mountain. And then they were supposed to be another like kilometer or two from where they were by the time they made camp. So they basically, this is, this is where the, the big question is, is why did they make camp right there?
And it's the same thing with the Camarda band group. Why did they make camp up there instead of on the tree line?
My only guess would be they just were exhausted and they were like, we like we physically can't.
I think it was like a kilometer back to the tree line from where they were. So that's not I mean, six tenths of a mile. It's not. If you're exhausted and cold, it's not an easy trip. Yeah. So it might have been they were just like, you know what? Whatever. It's fine. We'll we'll live. I. what doesn't get brought up is that supply cache. Yeah.
They had taken most of their supplies, everything they needed for the trip back, and they had left it what they perceived to be, I think, like basically a day from the peak they were going to. They were like, oh, it's only going to take us a day to get up there, or it might have been two days. So they brought bare minimum. They didn't need all of their supplies for the trip to go up there.
If they had brought that stuff, ironically, they probably would have survived. But they didn't. They left it behind. And so one of the questions is, all right, well, why did they go the way they did? Like, what happened here? They got lost. Like, why did they end up in the woods? Why did they try to go back up to the tent? It's because they were intending to go south, they ended up going north.
