You're in the place where mysteries and the missing meet. We're conspiracies. Look
around every corner. Welcome to the Deep Dark Truth. Greetings, true seekers
from from the future. A few little housekeeping things. We are back from
hiatus. We're so excited. In the next few weeks we're going to be
covering the Bell, which Mikey's going to continue his blood series after Spooky Sieves
and is over. We'll be covering some missing murdered Indigenous women cases and some
other things that we have in the works. Were very excited. There is
still time to submit to any of your potential spooky encounters. We would love
to hear them. You could send them to the Deep Dark Truth Podcast at
gmail dot com, or you can text them to the tipline at three and
three three five three four one one. Now that we have thought of the
way, I will let mo from the past take it away. Today is
our yearly Q and A episode where we discuss all the ridiculous questions that we
have saved up throughout the year, et cetera, et cetera. We just
got back from our vacation, so if we're a little MESSI also Moe desperately
wants to be watching critical role. So that is factual. Everything you said
is true. So we are going to jump right in with the Q and
A questions because that's what the whole episode is. Why would we not do
that? I will ask the first question, if you could speak to one
deceased person for thirty seconds, who would it be and what would you say?
It's just thirty seconds, so so sure, I'm not even sure the
point of it besides like, oh hi, Grandma, you're dead, I
love you, I mean, or it's asking like a burning question. Thirty
seconds is short. Okay, let's change this. Sorry, the question sucks
anyways. Revised question. Revised question. Let's say thirty minutes. Okay,
so that's very different it is. So if I had the thirty minutes,
it would definitely be my grandpa, And I don't know that I would say
anything in particular than just wanting to have another conversation with him, you know.
But if it was thirty seconds, I definitely would ask somebody who's murdered,
Like who fucking murdered them? I feel like that's the for me.
Also, my perfect answer it would be my grandma. And also it would
be asking somebody that was murdered. Who murdered them? Yeah, it would
definitely be like Alena Chapman or Sequoia, Like I would definitely reach out to
one of them and be like, what the fuck happened? Yeah, it's
got to be something like that, because it can't be someone who was killed
by a serial killer because they probably don't know him. Yeah, the types
of serial killers? Right, Yeah, I don't know. I'll go with
those answers by default thirty minutes if whoever? Oh adam, all right,
So this question. If you were cursed to go on an all expense paid
cruise with the are you serial killers? Who would they be? So here
is the setup, the caveats. You get to choose who, but you
have to hang out with them the entire cruise. They cannot kill you,
but if given the chance, they can kill others. Who do you go
on the cruise with? And how do you navigate them being a killer?
I'm going to I mean, is this assuming that they are a serial killer
if they haven't been proven that they are a serial killer? Like, can
I use who are you about to call out as a serial killer who's not
a verified serial killer? Or do you mean like broad general sense like we
don't know who it is, but like the well, now we know who
the Golden State killer is, but at the time being, like the Countess
is what I'm referred to. Okay, Elizabeth Bathory. Elizabeth Bathory would be
one of mine, but wasn't she technically convicted technically Yeah, yeah, So
I'm going with Elizabeth Bathory, Ted Bundy, and Jack the Ripper because that
level of insanity. I want to pick that brain. See, I'm trying
to figure out who's the easiest to babysit japs. And I had the thought
of someone who would, like, you know, some queen poisons all her
husbands or whatever, but that is you let take your eye off of her
for one second and the food is poisoned. The whole buffets did, So
that's not going to work either. I feel like she had motives though,
right do you think she would kill innocent people or was it just like an
ex husband thing. I didn't have a specific one of mine, just you
know, they're definitely women who have done that, black widows as they were.
I'm going definitely h Holmes, okay, and probably Vlad the Impaler,
which I feel like definitely counts yeah, I would say it counts. I
don't know who my third is yet, but I figure, like, if
I have to be around these people and talk to them, I want people
who I think are interesting. John Wayne Gacy because he had such a type
that I can just keep him isolated from guys, young guys. That's that's
fair. He would be easy to isolate, we said, a babysitting at
the Evil Baby orphanage. That's basically what it is, like, how do
you navigate? Like you lock them in a room. That's the only way
to navigate. I feel like unless we're just following them around, but there's
no way, Like we're required to hang out with them. The premise said,
So no matter what, we have to hang out with them. We
have to hang out with Yeah, but we can like hang out with him
in our locked cabin, right, Yeah, let me have food delivered pushed
through the door. So that's how I navigate room service. I'm also going
with Violet Jessup, the woman who sunk the Olympic and the Titanic and the
Britannic and it all circles back. Just go there, don't act like you
don't want to jump right on his BANDWIDP, I want to jump so fast?
Is it it's technically you're killing? If it's multiple mass murders, I'm
kind of pissed out and come up with it. Okay, moving crops to
you, all right, hip, you pick one. If you could switch
lives with any one person for the day, who do you choose? We're
saying a twenty four hour period midnight to midnight has to be living. I
feel like this answer fluctuates based on what point in time the question is,
but the answer is always whoever is the current sitting president of the United States?
And I think it's because I want to know exactly how much they really
know about everything that's going on the government, and like the President's book and
all that bullshit, and how much is like actually being run by super PACs
and shit that the president has no idea what's happening. It was also thinking
the president in who can I choose? Who will be the most efficient to
change something like I have one day to work on shit? Right? Will
you just fire half your cabinet and install a new cabinet? And there's thirteen
Supreme Court justices and you're like, what can I fuck up as quickly?
As possible, or I bet I just get some documents and just release them
to the public, Just get that out there and then peace. Yeah,
my original thought was like Queen Elizabeth, because I just think that if I'm
going to find out the most amount of information from the world, it's probably
through the Queen. Maybe I'm not considering the queen because then you get to
say I abdicate, I end the royal line. You could just do that,
Yeah, you could, Mikey. Mikey does have a point. I
feel like the Queen knows the like really antique secrets that would be like scandals
now, but like they wouldn't be a huge political leverage. It's like,
sure, tell the world what we did in nineteen sixty two, they'll forget
about it by the next day, by the next news cycle. But could
you also imagine the amount of influence you would have if you if you wanted
to say something to the world and you were Queen Elizabeth, you could say
it. That's fair. I feel like what you said, no matter how
political it was, it would be seen as less political than having come from
any other world leader. Weirdly, than being just as political and manipulating every
Yes, just as much. They absolutely are, but they don't currently actually
hold a substantial amount of actual political power in terms of changing government and so
in the most technical sense, right, yeah, so people see them as
like the queen would never the Queen has far more respect than any other leader,
I think in a general sense from the world view, like from everybody,
because I don't know who else would, but yeah, there's something there.
Yeah, and and honestly, it's like, you know, you know,
the approval rating of political leaders is you know, all over the place,
but nobody the world views the Queen completely different than a political leader.
Like if you were going to say something, they would most people would listen.
And it's about it's about the audience that she would would control, and
that's true, Poth. I think it also has to do with like now
versus ten years ago, though, I feel like, especially when we were
children, the kind of pull that the Queen had just talking about the Queen,
just the entire royal families. Like I remember the day Princess Diana died.
It is a core memory for me. There were people in the streets
sobbing. I was in Canada at the time, by the way, just
okay, I was like in Detroit, just losing their absolute marbles, sobbing
in the street. Which Princess Diana's death is absolutely tragic, but the way
that I was watching people respond to it. And also this was not only
Canada, it was Niagara Falls. We got the tourists and some of them
are British. Yeah, the various colonies that, even once independent like Canada,
still are extremely British. Yeah what Canada is. It's complicated. But
yeah, I'm now backed up on the Queen. Even if you can only
leak certain information, I do want to say what happened to Princess Diana,
just to stir the pot. Even if I say something fake it's fun.
I'm still going with the president. But it's because I'm selfish. I want
to know all the information for me versus I feel like the kind of information
I want to know is the kind of information the President of the United States
has, versus trying to inform of a very specific thing. And then I
would want to be the queen. Jeff Bezos give myself fifty one percent of
Amazon Perfect being Nick Chip, Who the fuck am I if famous people president
or our guest queen? Now, I'd rather the president not famous person or
a small famous person. Mike Champagne, you don't want to be bikey way,
it's so much not a work day. I think you'd quit before the
day was. It's it's not about what Mikey thinks. It's about it's about
like, how do you get anything done when somebody's stopping you every five feet
to say hi? Like, how do you get things done? That's why
I don't want to be bikey. Just one day, not so up in
lives, no prince pauper. Just the one day just feels exhausting. Yeah,
So I'm gonna do this highly kind of philosophical bullshit now because I'm already
on the precipice of not being able to answer whatever the fuck this is.
So I've always been fascinated by the phenomenon or whether the connection between male serial
killers and sexual dysfunction. We're off to a strong fucking start. How do
you think that that's been affected by the current social climate? While it feels
like there's more toxic masculinity than ever, I sometimes that we're more aware of
it because of social media. Have numbers gone up or down in recent years?
Has the amount of visibility affected serial killers ability to operate while maintaining under
the radar. This isn't a research episode, Bud. Let's talk about the
connection between mail serial killers and sexual dysfunction. How do we think that's been
affected by the current social climate. I think that there is entire four Chan
boards that are currently producing serial killers that never would have been serial killers.
I think that the Internet makes it very easy to radicalize people that otherwise might
have never become radicalized. I think that it's one radicalization of the Internet in
general, like that we see with all various things from q and on to
sections of four Chan, tow sections of Reddit to whatever. It feeds into
a certain kind of obsession that then makes you become radicalized. And we don't
talk about how easy it is for normal people to become radicalized by disinformation,
because brainwashing, not even disinformation, but a plethora of information as well could
tip the scales. I mean, if you are solely concentrating and looking up
rape and violence and rape and violence and rape and violence and rape and violence
and like, yeah, I mean it could go either way. Too much
information can be harmful, you know what I mean. Well, and the
way that information is presented to you exactly. Like I can cite off a
statistic and say like nine of X, Y and Z things blah blah blah.
But but there could be caveats to that. That could be nine percent
of a very specific like the women and Chili and versus like the women in
the world. Well, you can say a bunch of bullshit that's technically true,
but it's so out of place that the context of it is completely lost.
Its Yeah, there's no such thing as a politically neutral statistic. Even
just the way you word things changes things significantly. Yeah, and not to
mention that news and social media in general are is completely negative in comparison to
the real like world. You know, I'm like, I know that there's
a lot of negative ship happening in the world, but it's far more reproported
than positive. And that's that goes along with everything. You know, how
many positive experiences happen at that fast food McDonald's, but how many reviews are
negative? Yeah. I just said to Michael, Michael read something to me,
you know, some open ended clickbait shit, and both I said I
don't want to know. At the same time, and I looked at him,
I said, I just want one day where I don't hear some catastrophically
unprecedented bad thing. I just want a day. That's where I'm at mentally.
Yeah, I think the twenty four hour news cycle and news for profit
is also part of this and what gets people to click shit. But if
you only had a couple hours to a lot, you'll only pick the things
that matter as opposed to every little fucking thing. Oh well. Also,
you have to think about negative news and it how you perceive it. So
if you're channel surfing and you pass a news station and it's like puppies and
kittens are getting adopted today at Blake Farms, your brain doesn't stop and actually
give a shit about that good thing. But if they say a serial killer
is on the loose, or X Y and z A just sentenced to fifteen
years in prison or whatever you r Kelly thirty years in prison, Galaine Maxwell,
what is it? Twenty years in prison? Like, these are things
I know, but I couldn't tell you absolutely anything else that happened in the
last several days. But I can tell you those things because those are the
things that you see that you stop for that people talk about. Yeah,
and it's in like ingrained in our culture to become part of our anatomy almost
in a sense, like you're saying reward and punishment and you know what I
mean, like that your brain doing those things, and it's about what's upsetting
the norm, right, Yeah, exactly what is currently upsetting the norm and
therefore what is for cultural safety out of place? And it makes you stop
and it makes you pay attention to it and think of all the bad things.
But I mean, also with all of this, a lot of it
is also just evolutionary. A false positive is always better than a false negative
in your survival context in this sort of thing. Yeah, absolutely depends on
the situation. But so you know, it's just now our brains are built
for I'm in a forest being eaten by a lion versus has social media on
the Internet provided resources for predators to stock and victims. Absolutely, Also technology
in general, like Apple tagging, how easy it is to sex traffic is
a totally different world compared to what it would about. Oh yeah, I
mean the telephone is a technology that has made it easier to stock people.
So yeah, of course the internet has too. There's also an element of
like how normalized things are, right, like we talk about people facebook stocking,
like you hear a story about from your friends, it's like, Oh,
this girl at work, Sharon. You know everything about Sharon. And
then eventually you're like, I need to know what Sharon looks like. And
then you're on Sharon's Facebook profile and you're like, this seems like you would
do this, Sharon. You're right, fucking Sharon. Fucking Sharon. So
there is this other element of part of the culture now is to be able
to easily obsess over things and get the gratification of like actually being able to
figure out what a person it might be like, or thinking based on what
they post where they've went. It's it's weird, like culturally weird. Well
it's it's so easy too, like not to like, you know, put
anything or anybody on blast, but like it's so easy now to see where
somebody works from their Facebook profile and just go in there, yeah and see
them. I mean, Patreon, man, some of these questions are just
bringing me down, Like who's death hits you the hardest? What's your biggest
bro? No, what is one fact that you wish the entire world would
know instantaneously and they could not fight it? It would they knew in their
head that it was a fact, because it is. I feel like I'm
an a complete disadvantage. I feel like this is something that you've like went
to sleep thinking about. No, I did it. I don't even know
what happened, but I don't remember my answer. I don't know what the
answer would be. I think I know what mine was. Okay, please
go. He went to sleep thinking about this. Every single living thing on
this planet has ninety eight percent of the same DNA, So a blade of
grass and a human being are more alike than they are different by ninety eight
percent. And I think that that would be so profound for people to actually
know in their head. And I think it would cause a lot of ignorance
and discrimination and fear to just be wiped out. See, mine is a
fact that I feel like everybody knows, but I really wanted to seep into
their consciousness. Does that count? Yeah, that's exactly what I mean.
Like they have no they can't negate it in any way, shape or form,
Like there's no doubt, no doubt whatsoever. I everyone to realize that
society's rules and are cultural rules, everybody's cultural rules, no matter what country
they're in is absolutely meaningless. Now do without whatever you want. Everything is
a social construct. It has to be worded as like one sentence. That's
exactly what I'm looking for, Like, I just want everyone to realize that
you are on a rock, floating in space, going to a job to
make paper to pay for a structure made out of materials. Please absorb that,
and now tell me that it's like really important that boys don't wear pink,
Like it just doesn't make any sense at all. And I just think
everybody needs to realize that, like the rules are made up and the points
don't matter. There's a lot of room for interpretation of that sentence. I
think that's this is genie and about no. I want them to feel my
intent, though, but I want that to be the thing that rings in
their head. I support this emotion. I don't know about the sentence.
I'm trying to think of something the one percent literally owns ninety nine percent of
the earth. Yeah, I don't know how to what specific statistic, but
something like that that coupled with the everything is a social constructors the sentence.
I want same question, but something silly, like something that like grinds your
gears that people don't know. No, no, well, I'm laughing.
The currency in Pokemon is poke yen. It's not that you're spending one hundred
dollars on this potion. You're spending the equivalent of a dollar on this potion.
Think of again as like a penny. So no, that it doesn't
cost five hundred dollars for a single poke bowl cost five bucks. The symbol
is even based on the yen's symbol. I want everyone to know every kind
of shark. Yeah, and then we can talk about shark because I know
every kind of shark on this whole time. Mine is using salt on a
beer napkin to keep it cold, No, to get it to not stick
to your napkin. You know, people put salt down on their napkins so
that they put their beer dow fucking lily. I know no one that does
that. I am not a person that time. Across America, bartenders have
been putting salt on beverage napkins so that their beers don't stick to their napkin
when they go to drink it. Right, every drink dumb and I hate
it, but okay, but the thing is salt and water condensation from your
glass. What happens to salt when it gets wet, it dissolves, and
then the napkin is sticking to your fucking beer even worse than it would have
been. You're supposed to use pepper, assholes, fucking pepper. Why are
we seasoning or napkins? I'm too white for this. But if you put
pepper on your beverage napkin, you can set your glass down no matter how
wet it gets, and it will never stick. I mean, pepper must
dissolve at some temperature, does not room temperature. Okay, great, I'm
glad we have this talked. It was trying to lighten the mood, you
know. So what are some of your favorite words? So, beverage is
one of mine. Actual just saying the word beverage. It's reserved for like
gaze and my great aunt Nita, like that's who uses the word beverage.
Like some old southern lady maybe says the word beverage, but like dal hand
me a beverage, like beverage a plot, No, honey, let me
get you a beverage. It just it's a great word. I mean,
I love moist because people are so weird about it. No, yeah,
totally. I love moist because people are weird about it. We all really
love to make people uncomfortable, so that does not surprise me. My favorite
word is minion because one time in middle school, this is long before the
Minions existed, took the word from me. I don't remember why, but
a bunch of us were just, you know, gathered in a group,
like waiting for something to start or whatever, and the teacher couldn't get everyone's
attention, and I just shouted minion and everyone fell silent, and I was
like, yes, power. I also enjoy the word correct, but it
has to be pronounced all of the syllables, enunciation, enunciated, uncheated.
I like anything with a why. I don't know why. It's a high
fantasy thing. Yeah it's a fantasy. Yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely.
Where can I put a why? Where? If you like D and
D or a Lord of the rings? If you like those things, you
like whys like the letter why? You like to spell things with why,
if your trans your name is either a word one syllable with something replaced with
a why. I feel like if all theater kids could rename themselves, it
would be the same vibe. The vibes are immaculate. I don't know how
it's to explain it, like lyrical. I like that word. That's nice.
It's got a wine in it. I like it. If you could
destroy an artificial flavor from existence, what would it be? Grape? Take
it back, God, this is controversial. It shouldn't be called great,
or should be called purple. It tastes nothing like a grape. Apple doesn't
taste anything like apple strawbery. No banana tastes like extinct banana. But mine
is definitely. Peach is number one. Artificial peach is disgusting. I love
everywhere um, but banana is probably number two. Well, that's because they're
banana apocalypse bananas. There's one of my facts. I don't want everyone to
know. That's silly about the banana apocalypse. Yeah, what's the banana apocalypse?
The artificial banana flavor is modeled after a banana that no longer exists.
All bananas used to taste a certain way, and then disease blah blah blah.
There's some kind of blight and all of the bananas and the entire breathes
did that entire breath and our Carbonanas are very at risk for this too.
Bananas are poorly bread my flavor. I'm going with his green apple. That's
fair. Yeah, I think I'm going to switch my vote to green apple.
Really yeah, I like that. I like that move because grapes should
be said. I didn't say that I hated purple. It's just purple.
It's great bagel. Grape is purple. Blue raspberry doesn't exist blue. There's
no blue raspberries. I imagine that's what a blue raspberry taste like, not
like purple. I don't think that tastes like blue. Watermelon does not taste
like watermelon. Do not like grape flavor? You just think you just you
like purple, but you're annoyed by the name. Yeah, strawberry fake strawberry
still has enough of a taste like strawberry, whereas great taste nothing like great.
How has your perspective of the world changed since doing this podcast? I'll
go first, a lot more jaded, I guess, I really I don't
know. I knew fucked up ship happened a lot. But I think when
you're doing a podcast and you're researching them weekly and talking about them weekly,
it does obviously bring that to the forefront. So you sent you tend to
see I tend to see the world a little bit more negatively now since I've
been doing this podcast, It's also made me a little hyper aware of my
surroundings, though I feel like like I never was before the true grime paranoia,
I think, the deep dark truth, and you and Chip for my
mental health, great crisis. You're welcome for the jaded nous. You're not
welcome for the paranoia. Bill me. We could probably write that off on
our taxes, all right. I think for me it changed the way that
I look at true crime in terms of its entertainment value and how we treat
true crime. As somebody that produces that sort of content. I think you
have to be hyper aware of what the actual state of your listeners is,
but also the state of what the victims families are and responsibility as content maker.
Yeah, I feel like I used to be able to mindlessly watch unsolved
mysteries or mindlessly watch forensic files, and I can't mindlessly watch it in the
same way anymore, not only because I'm thinking of you know, things that
I think about now and know now that I didn't know then, like whether
or not the police seem to be following typical protocols with dealing with media or
whatever, those little things, but also just constantly thinking of how was this
presented to me? And did I actually know anything about the victim? Have
they talked about the victim or just the way that the victim died? Things
that I never would have picked up on before. It wouldn't have phased me
that they weren't included, and now I'm constantly aware of it. That's what's
screaming in my head is lawsuits and power dynamic which I also already knew,
but in this minute way, there's like C grade celebrities going after nobody's and
also how they use those weird power dynamics. I think me and Chip had
a good handle on it because we've seen it play out in other fandoms that
we're in and big name fans, and how celebrity works when the celebrities aren't
real celebrities. So we've watched that play out with everyone from authors to wizard
rockers, to voiceover artists to whatever. And we've been in those spaces where
some minor comic book illustrator is somehow like the coolest fucking person in the room.
We've been in those rooms. Fandom famous is so fucking weird, and
your experience a fandom famous is the weirdness. That's a Patreon episode there.
I came into it knowing that there would be some amount of that, but
I really didn't understand how in a lot of our fandoms there's call out and
it becomes something that is kind of dealt with by its community. But this,
a lot of it feels much more behind the scenes, much more nefarious,
much more monetary. It's I don't know, so much more rooted in
the finance signe it really is. It's like there's a lot of profit to
be had in the fandom famous, but it's it's far more explicit. I
think everybody should ask their favorite like true crime podcasters, questions that have to
do with what a shit like behind the scenes, because I know what it's
like men behind the scenes for us, and I wish I knew everything everybody
else knows because it's becoming an industry, but it's still so separate. You
might listen to these two and not never hear about this one, but this
one has a huge audience that you don't even know about. Do you believe
that people can change? Yeah, but it's so much work. I don't
think most people are willing to put in the work. But yeah, I
think so. Free will and choice is a thing. It's hard to break
a habit and take a lot of work and a lot of perspective because I
mean, there's so much involved to admitting it and you know, dealing and
whatever. Changing. And I think people are actively changing every time they're learning
is significan amount of information. So I think if you realize you're wrong about
three things, that those little things add up until they've changed you fundamentally as
a person, and it becomes like one of them will become some new core
ideal or belief of who you are. So I think people are always changing.
But I think that people that tend to be like narcissists, Yeah,
they're going to change, but that doesn't mean that they're going to always change
for the better either. I mean, yeah, we're going with people.
Everything is literally changed. This conversation is changing who we are as people.
Right, change happens, change conscious deliberate change is so much work. It
is a lot of work. But I mean, changing scess. What's their
definition of success? I don't know my answer to this. I saw it
on the list. I think that's a sense of self purpose. For somebody
to say I'm successful, that would translate into I feel full and I feel
like I'm doing what I'm supposed to in my purpose life satisfaction. I don't
think it neces silly means like, oh my god, I have billion dollars.
Are you happy and content accomplished? Do you feel accomplished right and what
you are doing or have done, or what you find your purpose to be.
I feel like it's about feeling accomplished. That doesn't mean you're the best.
What's the scariest moment in your life so far? One serious one,
one silly one. Okay, I've got my silly one. Sometime in high
school Christmas Eve, I wait till everyone goes to bed, and I don't
remember what I was bringing downstairs, but I was bringing someone's presence downstairs to
you know, have it appear under the tree or whatever for Christmas morning.
And I got downstairs and there was a silhouette in the living room and I
just felt all the heat drained from my body and it was my cardboard cutout
of Jack Sparrow. Sister kept me for Christmas. It's like I am about
to die. That's cardboard, that's Johnny Depp. My silly one would definitely
be like probably us doing spirit call mine? Also is it mine? Was
in our backyard. I distinctly remember just feeling that presence and just being in
that moment and being actually scared and like what Chip is like describing like when
you feel so hot, really weird real life. Probably getting a phone call
that my mom had a massive heart attack. I mean that was probably the
scariest I think that I've ever felt, like real scared and like not able
to control anything or any situation or any emotion that was going on. No,
that's fair. Yeah, there's the reason. It's silly and real.
That might have been my answer for when my dad had his heart attack,
had I not had my wisdom teeth out that day and been high as fuck
on Zanni's. I think mine is before I went into the hospitals, Like
day five of not being able to eat recap, I had a gulfstone that
blocked off my entire liver at I jaundiced, and I couldn't keep anything down
for almost a week and a half. Day five or six of that,
I was in more pain than I had ever been in my whole life.
And I undid the front door, unlocked it in case I had to call
nine one one, and I couldn't move, and I was just like,
what a horrible thing that somebody's gonna find me dead here? That was like
my absolute scariest moment. And it wasn't I'm in pain, I'm gonna die.
It was Michael is going to find me dead, crawled on this carpet.
He's gonna need a lot of therapy. Like it was scared for like
the after it was super fun, upbeat question. Yeah, that was not
fun. I also you brought me back to that time I blacked out and
cracked my head open and had to get hospitalized too. That was scary as
fuck. For about twelve hours, I couldn't sit up. I was so
dehydrated and my blood pressure was so that they couldn't set me up, and
I was going in and out of conscious for hours. It was very scary.
Big question, dumb answers only, Okay, no serious? What do
you think is the meaning of life? The ghosts that just closed Mikey's door.
I've decided sex as the meaning of life because it propagates life, and
so that's it. I think the meaning of life is a weird question because
life as in life, meaning life, I would think it's birth, rebirth
and death and the cycle. My answer was really a more why do we
exist? It's like because we keep having children. Obviously, that's why we
still exist. That's the only reason we should still exist, versus the philosophical
phoeney answer of like do good you know? Yeah, So I think it's
much rooms for that like scientific perspective, because mushrooms are on everything and everywhere
and it's constantly like Mike's just like it's fun guy. It's the fun guy.
For me, it's the fun guy. But in sense of life,
from like a humans perspective, what is the meaning of life? I'm gonna
go with that success a sense of purpose, Like that's seriously of life.
Only everything eventually becomes crabs. The meaning of life is to become crab.
That is, that is the true version of success, the self actualization of
being crab. Have we did what our favorite pokemon are on this show?
We've talked about it anyways, mine is nine Tails. We literally just had
this conversation and I am inscerting it. We we did the we have to
pick one then, and you picked one. So who did you pick?
You've already picked it in everybody else had to answer, and you waffled poorion
in one of your answers. This is what we went with. Vio Plume,
Gingar, and Flurryon are my three favorite Pokemon, and it's hard for
me to pick one from them. I'm not even kidding, it's really hard.
But if I had to go with like overall favorite Pokemon, or I'd
want to have one, it's evy favorite Pokemon versus Pokemon that you want in
your house. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's how I decided my
favorite Pokemon years ago was Arcanine because if I could have exactly one Pokemon exists.
It is a giant, fluffy pupper who can run fast enough to run
on water and can breathe fire. But just to be clear, guys,
Fluryon is better than nine Tails and Arkanine. So we don't want to like
give false information on our deep dark truth podcasts. So we need some more
dumb questions because shit is just getting too serious. If you could go jungle
bogging through d Amazon or the sounds of miserable. What are my other options?
Skydiving, scuba diving. Yeah, she can't be trusted though. What
jungle am I doing? Was jeeping through any jungle you wanted to be,
I was just you whatever. I would definitely do the jungle bogging. I
love the big giant fan boats in the Everglades. It isn't the coolest fucking
thing. Also, the idea of a safari where they're not zoo kept animals,
like where it's a tiger king type of scenario that I'm contributing to and
you're just driving through their actual habitat. That has its own problems. I
get that, people, Okay, there's no ethical consumption under jungle. Yeah
I'm going skydiving for sure. Fuck that about going with the jungle, because
it's the illusion of control. I don't have more control than I do in
skydiving or whatever, but I pretend I do. My stomach doesn't want to
fall out of my mouth if I'm in a ge Okay, I mean there's
some big ass bumps going on. This isn't just a stroll. Even the
dirt scuba diving school too. I just the jungle got me. I can't
trust the ocean. Well, of course not. There's too many things.
I don't know how deadly there are. I don't even think they know how
deadly they are. Did you know there are poisonous birds? As if a
human ate this bird, it would kill you for poison reasons. No,
I did not. There's a couple. There's some sort of goose that it
depends on its diet, so whatever it's eating stays in its body, and
that kills us. But there are a couple that are just inherently poisonous to
us. I thought it was vultures. Is it flamingos? There were all
birds I had never heard of, except for you know, generic category of
goose, spur spur winged goose. Is that it? Or the rough head
groose? Uh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one. There's ten
birds that are poisonous something like that. Fun fact for everyone in the world
to know instantly. Birds are dinosaurs. I don't trust them at all.
They trust them more than I trust mushrooms in the ocean. You know who
I trust less than birds? People that think that birds are the best pets.
I trust those pee pets. No, no, no, those people
are serial killers see minds. Cats. I don't understand why we domesticated cats,
and they domesticated themselves, and turns out they just sort of moved in.
See, I'm anti birds as pets just because they fly. You putting
them in a structure where they can't fly too inhumane. You have to clip
their weighting or whatever, and that's shitty. Cats are the number one hunters
on the planet. They're hunters. They can't run to not But that's why
it makes sense for cats to co exist for humans the same way of like
smaller breed terriers, because they kill rats and rats spread disease. I'm a
bird person. I definitely want a raven. I definitely, I aesthetically want
a raven to ride on my shoulder for the rest of time. That's why
we make D and D characters. I'm not going to trap a raven to
live on my shoulder. Okay, this is one a little long, so
we're going to stop there, but we're going to save the rest of the
questions for later, and please submit more. You can send them to the
Deep Dark Truth podcast at gmail dot com or text them to the tipline at
three and three three five five three four one one. And there's still time
to submit any of you are spooky paranormal experiences. Until next time you just
