Our discussion tonight takes a turn to the speculative, musing on the potential of fungi in gene therapy and its unexpected side effects. Imagine a world where your amputated limb can not only regenerate but also connect you to a global network of sensations – is this the next frontier of medical science or an ethical minefield? Join us as we wade through the clinical details, personal anecdotes, and the speculative horror that these topics evoke, all while keeping our tongues firmly in cheek.

Don't look under the internet. You had on that would you have prepared probably okay all right, all right. Well, mike, you've got what you've got now.
Speaker 3:So we'll see how this goes. Anyways, you know yeah, all right welcome to don't look under the internet. Okay, well, there's four of them here.
Speaker 4:I think this is nervous, michael, because I was not prepared for this aspect of it. I thought it was going to be a live episode. It is. It is Without the recording aspect happening.
Speaker 3:That is not that, not Not that.
Speaker 1:Oh no, apparently not, that's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 4:I'll manage, I'll manage. So we've been going on. This is a weird one, because we're recording this 12 hours into our 24 hour?
Speaker 5:yeah, my favorite part is make it out or did hello. My favorite part is that if he thinks, if he closes his eyes, everybody else will just disappear he's probably not real.
Speaker 3:He's reading a document.
Speaker 5:I taped my eye. I'm trying to teleprompter in his eyelids. No, it just helps me focus.
Speaker 4:So yeah, this is Devastator said do Vegeta more. Yeah, we might have to. You might hear weird voices because we're taking donations as we record this, we might do weird things. Mid-episode that require you to see us Mind with us a bit.
Speaker 3:Because right now we got a $ dollar donation and we have to talk in weird voices we're gonna do that in the middle of the episode we're gonna do.
Speaker 1:We're doing it right now, just for a minute I think like a sentence or so it does say for
Speaker 5:for some time they want me to do a vegeta so I gotta really channel that inner okay open her.
Speaker 2:Open her up with veget. I made a short list of mine.
Speaker 5:Yeah, okay, really write some down.
Speaker 3:I don't know why I have the headphones on. They're so useless right now.
Speaker 4:I was thinking maybe we could do an episode that we didn't record.
Speaker 1:But here I am. I was wrong, you see, and now we're recording, and now we're recording.
Speaker 4:But that's okay.
Speaker 1:So we're recording, and now we're recording, but that's okay, so we're going to move on to our topic. Today, my whole race has been destroyed by the evil villain, frieza Stupid monkey, and I don't like him very much, michael.
Speaker 4:That's all I can say. My throat is dead. Yeah, no, that's enough.
Speaker 3:I did a little Kermit for a little while.
Speaker 4:What's the topic? So we're going to talk about a topic that is very interesting to us.
Speaker 5:Do we have any housekeeping at all?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, do we have anything we want to do beforehand?
Speaker 5:Have we ever done this before? Clap above your head, there it is Cut me a fucking break.
Speaker 3:I don't think I've ever stayed up this long we have queso Iraq, that's actually Cheese Iraq, that's not bad.
Speaker 4:Mr Giggles.
Speaker 3:Mr Giggles. Mr Giggles has been in the chat all day Just dropping money bombs on us Props to him. And by money bombs I mean charitable donations To the Cancer Society.
Speaker 4:Members on 4 wall dude we have MikeSucksDicks. Forgot that existed Best name. Almost so far I forgot that existed, thank you.
Speaker 2:Right in the line that's like 12.
Speaker 4:If you would like to become a member and get bonus content and hear me shout out names that are apparently very mean to me, uh, you could go to patreoncom slash diluty pod or our website at dilutycom boys oh, it's boys, yeah so even doug hello. Yeah, jason, hi hello, viewer. Viewer, are we editing video with this? There's a straight audio. I, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I don't know how to do it. We'll see what happens? I'm not. We'd have to rip it from the live stream, we'll figure that out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll figure that out.
Speaker 4:Viewer me. Maybe we'll need a week off after this. Since it's part of the live stream maybe we should like put those like pens in it, like where you like, in chapter stuff and like here's the live episode. We'll probably do it that way, so so we have um, we've been drinking a lot of liquid death lately. They haven't sponsored us, but they have liked something of ours on twitter pretty much counts as a sponsorship, so I'm going to say that we've been sponsored by liquid death they sponsored this content.
Speaker 3:Yeah, um so they have a drink that everything we say is their express opinion yeah yeah, exactly, we are represented can we
Speaker 5:get sued now for that we own liquid, we can probably get sued, yeah I take a joke, april fool's joke.
Speaker 4:Anyway, maybe doug liquid death made a drink. They had to change the name, but you but liked it. It was called the Armless Palmer.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, it's Armless Palmer, but now so what?
Speaker 4:we're talking about tonight Holy shit, holy shit. They help people in a situation where they may be armless.
Speaker 5:That was a fucking fantastic Top tier booze.
Speaker 1:Where is this kind of?
Speaker 3:goal Every Tuesday.
Speaker 2:You just gotta put the pressure on him real hard Make him nervous, you got to tighten the screws.
Speaker 1:Make me anxious for about 45 minutes straight. Yeah, the gesticules.
Speaker 4:I've had nothing but anxiety for 45 minutes straight, right now for some reason.
Speaker 2:But today we're talking about a topic it's called.
Speaker 4:I don't know if I'm going to butcher this or not, but ephemeral sensations. Ephemeral and I'm good I don't know if I'm gonna butcher this or not, but uh, ephemeral sensations, ephemeral ephemeral.
Speaker 2:Ephemeral sensations. What's the definition of that word, mike?
Speaker 4:jason, that's right, you know you're a smart guy.
Speaker 5:It's lasting for a short time. That's one of them. Otherwise it has to do with like feeling short-term sensations, I prefer lowered expectations myself.
Speaker 4:Oh hey, hey, got him, yeah, Anyway. So this is an interesting thing. I found it on LiveLeakcom I'll talk about that in a second and from there we kind of just did a little bit of an investigation and went into quite the rabbit hole into this whole. Yeah, this one was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5:Yeah, this one was this is fun.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this one was 100% this is kind of different than a lot of stuff we've looked into.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it gets very fascinating, Very convoluted. So if a lot of it doesn't make sense, bear with us.
Speaker 2:Because it's the information that was given to us. It's difficult to put this back together too. Yeah, because it's been scraped, it's very spread out across the internet and a lot of places where it was.
Speaker 4:It's been scraped thinner.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, not enough butter on bread, it's hard to find without using other websites that allow you to, like you know, go back in time and shit. Jason was the one that found this whole thing. So, like we've just kind of we've done our own research and just kind of are now mushing it all together. So here we go yeah.
Speaker 5:This, yeah, Honestly, this one, it was a weird one. I didn't really know how to like classify this.
Speaker 3:There wasn't a good way to outline it. No, there was no, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:So we're going to do our best to make sense. Well, we're also start with this. Am I right? Fellas from the top, smell us. Where is the drawing mike? Where could you find this? I found this on lively, doc. Yeah, you did. Yes, wow, yeah, I know. So here's the reason. What were you doing on live when?
Speaker 2:you subbed across.
Speaker 4:This is my question, so I've been trying to look for content that is off youtube but in somewhere where, like more edgy edgy, yeah, yeah like think about it, think about, think about, think about, think about he was looking for two girls covered a lot of shit but it's got to stay in, like the youtube censorship. So like a lot of it.
Speaker 4:Like you can't like say, like curse words, that often, um, you got, they have to like pull back on like the gore aspect, um, and sometimes there's things that youtube will censor, like sometimes they'll have issues with um certain pieces of music that would fit in with certain stories.
Speaker 3:You can't just casually scroll on YouTube and see a beheading video.
Speaker 1:Right, exactly, I'm not looking for that, or you're saying the good shit. You know what?
Speaker 5:There's a chance you might if it got posted there in the last five minutes. Yeah, that's fair so.
Speaker 4:I was looking for just I feel like you could find more obscure shit on LiveLeak rather than just on YouTube, okay, so I was looking on there and I found this whole thing. It was basically a catalog of four videos, okay, and it was under this catalog called the Ephemeral Catalogs.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, I got you Okay.
Speaker 4:Now I'm going to break these down, but essentially what I'm gathering from this is it looks like for like, just like early 2000s-esque commercials. I don't know how else to say it, other than that they just give off that vibe, that like they're from the early two triple I love 2000s commercials.
Speaker 3:And I say this because I will literally watch YouTube videos of just old school videos like that. And there is a vibe. They just did not give a shit.
Speaker 1:It's very like mindless consumerism.
Speaker 3:Plastic shit. Pay us four payments of $39.99 for our toaster.
Speaker 1:You want us to organize your plastic.
Speaker 4:It would be like that back in the day. Place your liver with ours, but we had. These commercials seem to be seem to be advertising for a biotech company called. Ephemeral whatever Ephrem.
Speaker 1:Ephrem, ephemeras, ephem, sensations.
Speaker 4:And this is kind of how they go. I'm giving just. I'm just gonna give like a brief description of them each, because in these videos there's not a lot of action that happens in them, but I think the videos themselves are kind of interesting. So the first one starts off um, it's like the ending of the show. Everybody loves Raymond. What? Yeah, it's like it's like the ending of the show, everybody Loves Raymond. What it's like the ending of the show. And then it fades to black and then it opens up to the commercial and it's this woman in a lab coat.
Speaker 4:We got a $10 donation thank you, wait till I'm done describing this one.
Speaker 1:I just read the title of Mike's notes it's been 12 hours.
Speaker 4:Aren't you going to talk like you're the prince of all saints. I can't right now. My throat will give out. Do an easy one.
Speaker 3:What Do Mike Do? An easy one. Oh sorry, sly Sky Seaman. Oh wow, okay, sly Sky Seaman donated $10 on fourth wall.
Speaker 4:Thank you, Thank you, thanks, seaman, $10 on fourth wall. Thank you, thank you, I will do, squidward. I know you did, but I didn't. So anyway, you got to get angry Anyway it cuts to a woman in a lab coat talking to the camera.
Speaker 4:Sponge Bob in a lab coat talking to the camera, spongebob and she mentions the ephemeral sensations which this company I can't do the voice. This company, apparently, is a company that is specializing in researching gene therapy for people like amputees, those born with birth defects and those just in general need with other conditions, such as like blindness, deafness and even in need of like organ transplants. Their goal is apparently to cure those in need and to heal them of their trauma.
Speaker 1:That's pretty legit.
Speaker 4:It's like short, sweet to the point, and then it fades out with the logo for um a frumble.
Speaker 1:A frumble yeah and frumpy trumbull. Yeah, frumpy trumbull.
Speaker 4:And then it goes. It goes back to like you're watching fucking, uh uh the U, oh yeah, you know what?
Speaker 5:I mean.
Speaker 4:So it was like, almost like a cut out from like a tv program exactly. There's a commercial like a little like info segment in between. Okay, gotcha, gotcha the second one, it starts off again with our woman in the lab coat. I was struggling. I was like why is?
Speaker 5:does what does everybody loves raymond have to do with this?
Speaker 4:I'm just so happy but it starts off again with the woman in the lab coat, but but this time she's explaining the specifics of one of the treatments that are currently in progress. This is with a man named Joseph. He was a veteran who lost one of his legs Apparently. In this they mention that they're working on ways to help him actually obtain the ability to walk again through trial flesh replacements. Through what Trial flesh replacements? Now we get a little bit of a monologue piece from joe um, and he hasn't started the trials yet.
Speaker 4:but it's like him, like he's like in, like the oh he's like the scrubs or the patient gown or whatever he's in like in the patient gown and it's him basically talking about how excited he is that this company is wanting to work with him um, and he mentions how, like um, he's very thankful for the program that they put him in um, because with how his financial um like issue is, he's like, there's no way I would have been able to afford this without. I'm good, someone else will say it and blurp over me just mouth it and one of us will say
Speaker 4:it ephemeral he's just like talking it up. I'm really appreciative, I'm really excited to be able to hopefully walk again. And then it cuts back to our lady in white and she's just like ephemeral, like hey, we're doing the thing. They got a slogan. I forgot it. I wrote it down somewhere. Hang on, it was a better company for a better tomorrow.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so that's it. Just logo a better company for a better tomorrow. And then it fades away. Video three here we go again with the lab coat woman. She's talking about the benefits of ephemeral research. Not only are they making advancements in the medical field, but they're also looking into the oncoming virtual reality boom that they expect is going to be taking place. They said they are looking at ways to make virtual reality a more immersive uh place for players. Um, the video then goes on to show uh, and this shows that it's like an early 2000s thing, because they didn't know what the fuck virtual reality was back then. It shows a man playing like a game of, like virtual tennis. You know those old where, like he's just like on like a shitty like tennis.
Speaker 5:Yeah, oh, is it like it's the actual?
Speaker 4:they need the full tennis court anyway, but they it's like vr yeah, and he hits a ball and he's like, wow, it's just like the real thing. And then he's like he like goes like this, and then it shows him like taking off like a helmet in his house.
Speaker 4:But he's like whoa, like he's like flabbergasted that he's playing tennis for real, um, and then again it cuts the logo and it's a better company for a better tomorrow. Last one we get. This one starts off with a disclaimer and it said due to public outrage, this commercial has been cut. This is just for department files. I'm like OK, what are you typing over there?
Speaker 2:Don't fucking worry about it.
Speaker 4:I'm doing your performance review, so we do not open up this time with the lab coat woman, but we do hear her. She's kind of like monologuing over a little bit. Um, it opens, um, it's basically her just going ephemeral a better, a better company for a better tomorrow.
Speaker 4:And then, if it opens up in this house and it opens up to a man and he comes, uh, he, he's talking to the camera and he's not in the room, but he's talking to the camera, the, the camera, and he's like, oh man, that was great. And he like walks out into, like out of this doorway, and the doorway doesn't have a door. It's got those beads hanging down okay, like the 70s. It's like, yeah, divider yeah, and it's not the beads that come that are coming down. He walks on.
Speaker 4:He's just like in a robe and dick out dude basically, just wait, basically, and he comes out of his room and he talks about how great his sex life has gotten ever since his implant and he thanks uh f from a rule, uh for the procedure. And he's like, ever since I got the procedure the ladies have been all over me and this lady walks out of the room and she gives a little kiss on the cheek and she's also like thanks Ephemeral, thanks Ephemeral, the implant was a success and they look at the camera and they'd go that little like kind of thing you know what I mean, yowza.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the commercial then ends but there's like no logo this time around and it comes up with that review thing again and it basically says this ad did not pass with peer review and will not air. Please disregard this ad. It is for file purposes only. As this is on the screen, you do hear the man in the background and he starts screaming and he's like why is it doing that? What is happening? Why is it doing that? Then it cuts to black and if you look at the description for the video, you'll see this link. It's like a WordPress or like a document kind of thing wordpress or uh like a document kind of thing and all it says is um, public interest and interest on um ephemeral was going extremely well until the incident. Doctors have been researching ways to bypass the issues, uh, that have been coming from recent procedures. Uh, disregard any further. Um, surgical, um, what's the fucking word I'm looking for? I forgot it.
Speaker 5:Basically, they want to stop going forward. Yeah, thank you. This is not okay.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they're like. Disregard any further surgical tests Requests. Thank you, yes. Yes, I didn't write that, I just wrote down fucking bad doctor note.
Speaker 5:It's a good thing I work in the field.
Speaker 3:Bad doctor bad work.
Speaker 4:But that's really all we get from this bit. But from the sounds of it you guys found a little bit more about the subject.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I was able to locate a couple different things, so I was kind of more focused on like, like the actual like press around this kind of like this lab, um, and like what they were kind of doing in general. Um, and I was able to find a youtube video, um, uploaded to this like fucking random website that's like not on youtube anymore. Um, and basically, uh, it looked like when it was posted it was like somebody was filming a youtube video, like they were watching it. You know what I'm saying, like on a computer whenever, yeah, um, and the the name uh literally said, uh, ephemeral chronicles, like it was like a documentary or something, um, and the title of the video is called unveiling the secrets inside ephemeral sensations ground can you read that?
Speaker 4:like revealing the?
Speaker 3:secrets. No, we need another $10 donut.
Speaker 2:I forgot about that voice, secret number 15. Groundbreaking research.
Speaker 3:The content in this video starts with an introduction from Ephemeral Sensations and basically it's like a two or three minute video. It's super short, but basically it highlights these little bullet points of the research that's led by Dr Paul Fish and Dr Andrea Rossi and these two are, I guess, the head of this laboratory, right so and they did most of the research that Mike was just talking about. But viewers are taken on a virtual tour inside this like research facility and it's showcasing the laboratories. It's like bustling with activity. There's, like you know, people in their lab coats walking around and like looking very professional, doing like doctor, like doing scientist things.
Speaker 4:You know what I'm saying it's very too full of green liquid.
Speaker 3:Yes, good to be true, like, uh, like you're watching, like just I don't know like. It just seems like aperture laboratory. Yes, oh yeah, that is exactly like they're like the science we're doing is fine.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Life gives you lemons. Yeah, make life, take the lemons back.
Speaker 3:Make orange juice? Um, yeah, but so like it has like these, like quick interviews with some scientists that providing their insight to their work, um, and they, and they mentioned that they're doing a lot of cross germinating with fungi.
Speaker 2:I cross germinate with fungi all the time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you do. But they're basically talking about how this application can be good with gene therapy, and as the video progresses, attention is drawn to uh, it almost seems like they're. It almost feels like they're hiding something or like there's like a secret. You know what I'm saying? Like when you watch it, you can tell that they're just like overly happy.
Speaker 4:It's like yeah, is it the man's?
Speaker 3:it's, they're all on just like a massive amount that's what's alluded to for sure it's just very like hunky dory, like this is the good science we're doing.
Speaker 4:He's not the bad exploding penis nothing bad with this science.
Speaker 1:Take him to the. Yeah, why is he doing that? He burped his dick too yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't know how to get out of burping a dick, so I'm just gonna go, okay. So the next thing I have uh, I was able to find a newspaper article, uh that was actually written like uh, it almost reads like a conspiracy theorist, like was like I gotta find out what's going on here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and this is from the Sentinel Gazette and it says the enigmatic, ephemeral sensations unraveling the conspiracy theories. In the corridors of scientific innovation, one institution has emerged as a focal point of intrigue and speculation. Nestled away in the public eye, this research facility, led by Dr Paul Fish and Dr Andrea Rossi, has become the subject of numerous conspiracy theories, with whispers of hidden agendas and covert operations permeating the scientific community. At the heart of these theories lies the clandestine nature of ephemeral sensations, internal operations. A recent expose delved deep into the institution's hidden agenda, shedding light on a secret the secretive practices concealed behind closed doors. Through a combination of investigative journalism, expert analysis, evidence surfaced suggesting that critical information is being deliberately withheld from the public. Central to the speculation is the institute's work with cross-germinating fungi. Toted is groundbreaking research aimed at stimulating nervous responses and revolutionizing gene therapy.
Speaker 3:However, interviews with whistleblowers has cast doubt on the transparency of their endeavors. Reports indicate questionable practices, with the research um fueled with you know true motives and the two doctors um, so one of these uh like whistleblowers uh basically said um, they, they they're like quoted in here, but basically they like wrote like a small synopsis of like what one of the whistleblowers, uh, this dr cassandra reed, said, and it says amidst the shroud of secrecy enveloping ephemeral sensations, disturbing allegations have surfaced regarding the utilization of amputees in their research endeavors. Unsubstantiated reports suggest that the institute ost, intensively conducting groundbreaking studies with the germinating fungi, may be exploiting the sensations of residual limbs and amputees. Whispers of ethically questioned practices abound, insinuating that individuals individuals who still perceive sensations in their missing limbs are being subjected to covert experiments aimed at creating phantom limbs. And these chilling rumors so it sounds like what they're doing is only serves to deepen within the enigma surrounding, uh, the lab and the true nature of its pursuits. So it sounds like what they're doing is you listening to something real hard?
Speaker 4:yes, sorry um.
Speaker 3:So it sounds like what they're doing is they're they're doing this fungi testing on these like amputees and they're reporting like phantom limb syndrome, um. But the craziest thing that I found was in this article. If you like, look into this, dr cassandra, read you'll see this like lab document, um, and literally it's. It's kind of wild. So it says it's, the date is redacted, but uh. Subject es1398-001 um research facility ephemeral sensations and the experiment title is Neural Response Modulation in Amputees.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to go over the whole document, it's kind of lengthy, but the procedure says a 45-year-old male with a history of left lower limb amputation due to trauma was recruited for the study. The subject underwent a series of neurological assessments, including a sensory mapping and neural imaging, uh, to elucidate the the neural mechanisms underlying residual limb sensations. Concurrently, the subject received controlled administration of cross germinating fungi extraction aimed at stimulating nervous responses. And the observations are the subject constantly reported sensations resuming those of a missing lower uh limb despite its physical absence. So basically saying, hey, I still feel this limb that's gone. That you guys took right. And additionally, the subject began to express an unusual sensation of limbs that did not belong to him, describing that he was having. He was feeling other limbs from other patients in the lab. What the fuck? Yeah, so like they took somebody's arm and like they could feel their, that like other arm, oh shit. So basically what they say is that tense pinky feels.
Speaker 2:Did they like intend for this to happen or was this just like something that randomly started?
Speaker 3:I don't think they intended to do this. I think they were just like what happens?
Speaker 4:what's the reverse of phantom pain.
Speaker 3:Well, I guess it's still phantom phantom pleasure yeah, well, one of the things that they said is that I mean, I guess you're not wrong sensory mapping revealed a localized neural activity corresponding to both the phantom limb and perceived sensations of external limbs, suggesting an altered perception of self and others. So, basically, the neural imaging indicated heightened interconnectivity and the I don't know what this is the somatosensory cortex.
Speaker 5:I'm sure it's part of the brain Somatosensory. Yeah, it's basically what allows you to interact with the world around you.
Speaker 3:But it kind of seemed like these people that are undergoing this like special fungi treatment are like kind of hive minding phantom limbs.
Speaker 5:So so okay, From understanding that correctly what you're saying.
Speaker 3:There's a lot of words that I get this procedure done right.
Speaker 5:They get amputated and then they go through this gene therapy that these doctors came up with.
Speaker 3:From what I've, read that's what it sounds like yeah, okay. And then afterwards, once the limbs are gone, they are. They not only can still feel their, like, let's say, you get your arm removed, they still feel that arm even though it's gone gone but now they actually have the sensation of other people's limbs as well, like can I feel them moving? Very prepared, mike, it's a lab write-up, so it's not really super detailed.
Speaker 3:But I was just like yeah, um, but basically it seems like in the conclusion they were like yeah, uh, I mean, we just we need to keep testing, like we need to keep figuring out how this works, and stuff like that. So it's, it's really weird. That's what that's all I was able to find. I didn't find much, because I was just trying to figure out, like, what the fuck was going on in this lab.
Speaker 3:For the most part, yeah there's a lot of that and it's it's kind of wild actually, like that you can see this, if I thought that I fucking felt Someone else's arm Like that was in a different.
Speaker 5:I'd be very concerned. What if you could feel someone else's?
Speaker 3:butt Like you're like. Oh, they're taking a poop.
Speaker 1:Would you feel the other butthole Like two?
Speaker 2:buttholes. Would your butthole react, would it?
Speaker 5:open around the poop that isn't there and then like I feel like that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2:Maybe you would. Would you shit yourself, dude, if you what? What did you? What did you connect to other people's buttholes in the hospital? And then you suddenly gain the power to make other people shit themselves just by like forcing yourself hey what's up, and I'm gonna make you shit your own pants yeah, only use your powers to shit your pants.
Speaker 5:No, oops I grabbed my pants. Someone must have your pants.
Speaker 3:I will say uh, that's all I have on my end. However, I did want to note uh, in 10 minutes we're gonna just pause the episode for a second and we're gonna run that giveaway because it's almost nine o'clock. Okay, do you just want to?
Speaker 2:hit the pause button right now. Do it after your section. That might be a good idea yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 3:Uh, I mean that that was really all I had, so we can run it now.
Speaker 5:Okay, cool Press and hold.
Speaker 1:Cool, welcome back. There it is. How do you say American bird scooter?
Speaker 2:Yeah, how do you say American bird scooter?
Speaker 3:How do you say bird scooter in American?
Speaker 2:Bird scooter I don't know how do you say money in Australian?
Speaker 3:It's Australian for money, gotcha.
Speaker 1:Wow wow, wow, wowie, wowie. What a cut in it is instead.
Speaker 3:I just want to shout out Dushan Mandic for winning the giveaway again as well. I'm glad you didn't hear it happen if you're listening to this episode, but dushan mandik won a 50 gift card to ghoulish mortals. They are the sponsor of this giveaway, oh yeah I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry is it? Is it the the real serious tone that I'm taking? What would I miss?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I'm just. This is well. This is 13 hours of like doing this. This is insane for me, it was like I was looking at him and I'm just like wow he's transitioned in and then we're just having a conversation.
Speaker 4:That's your dug in the background, just, very just. It's not the letter, just and thank you, dushan and Dick.
Speaker 1:I can't, I can't.
Speaker 2:Oh, my fucking god, oh my god we're not even drunk.
Speaker 1:No, I feel fucking drunk. I do too. Okay, where the fuck were we wowies and all that?
Speaker 4:It's your time to talk.
Speaker 5:Is it? No, it's my time to talk the episode's on ephemeral.
Speaker 2:Ephemeral. Ephemeral sensations, ephemeral sensations. What Carry on? Please tell me we haven't been recording this entire time, or something. Is it backwards? It's backwards, isn't it? I swear to god.
Speaker 4:Hey whatever, dog, hey whatever.
Speaker 1:No wonder I was having such a fucking hard time with your audio. He's like over here like fucking, like I'm like what, what the fuck?
Speaker 3:Oh my goodness, he's sliding knobs and turning keys over here Like it's a fucking madman.
Speaker 1:I was so confused. That's why I'm so fucking confused, of course. Okay, holy shit, wowie zowie y'all Wowie z shit and we're going to wow. He's out y'all.
Speaker 3:Wow, he's out. Who's next?
Speaker 1:I. You can't ask such hard questions. Who am?
Speaker 2:I.
Speaker 1:I have notes, I think Matt's supposed to talk. Yeah, I am.
Speaker 3:I didn't spell that right.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 2:All right, get serious, get serious. Wow, he's owie. So what Doug was talking about last time was the videos that he found about the research that was going on in the facility, and he mentioned a couple of individuals in those videos, and so I wanted to find more information about the people that were mentioned in Doug's videos, and so the first one of those was Paul Fish that Doug mentioned, and it's not easy to find a lot of information about him, so I went digging on the Internet, and the only thing I was actually able to find was some video files on archiveorg that, like they're not on a web page or anything, they're just video files that look like they've been ripped from, like a tape or something, that were just uploaded to the archive oh and they're interviews with a couple of doctors that work for ephemeral sensations, or worked for ephemeral sensations, and so the first one is an interview with paul fish, and he goes into fish, fish, fish, um, and so he goes into what do you call a?
Speaker 3:fish without the eye fish without eyes.
Speaker 5:It's a fish without eyes what do you call? Why didn't?
Speaker 2:Bigfoot do very well oh my god okay, he just couldn't focus. Yeah, okay, yeah, just got it got it much like us this is an interview with you all very good at school and he goes into the reason why he started ephemeral sensations and basically what I swear to fucking god, basically what he he talks about about is, um, he was a like a, a neural like surgeon and a um, a doctor basically who specializes in the human nervous system, and I'm gonna kill you I'm so sorry, I'm trying so hard okay I'm trying
Speaker 3:hard too man quick. I need more meth. I'm my God.
Speaker 2:Anyhow.
Speaker 2:So the reason that he started ephemeral sensations was he started developing this neurological disorder called Julian Bar syndrome, and it's a syndrome that you develop that basically causes weakness in your muscles and you start getting tingly sensations and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Essentially, what it is is it's just like your nervous system degrading and you start losing control of like your extremities and things like that. And so he really wanted to find a solution and, like utilize his background to try to come up with some sort of treatment for his condition. So he started ephemeral sensation with the idea of trying to reconstruct the nervous system and do research on his condition and try to fix what was going on to him and or what was going on with him, and so he eventually gets the help of a dr andrea rossi, and this, uh, dr rossi is actually a specialist in what doug mentioned earlier, which is like fungal shit essentially, and what Dr Rossi was able to figure out was that, like the way that fungi connect to each other I don't know if you've ever seen the way mushrooms are like rooted into the ground and shit but it's basically like a gigantic nervous system.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's a huge network of like all these spores and shit like touching each other.
Speaker 2:And so Dr Rossi talks about how a lot of the ways that these funguses talk to each other through this network actually really replicates the way that the human nervous system talks to itself. And so they started collecting samples of these funguses and doing, uh, what doug mentioned, which is basically combining these cells with amputated body parts and figuring out that they can kind of reanimate the body parts, and so, through being able to reanimate these body parts, they think that they can essentially fix people who have problems with their extremities that are caused by neurological issues. And that's kind of like the bread and butter of what Ephemeral Sensations does. But the interviews are pretty short and that's kind of like the end of that interview.
Speaker 2:But the only other file that I was able to find on this was actually a third interview from Dr Rossi and it's kind of vague, but it goes into this oopsie that they had at the laboratory, which it kind of seems like might have something to do with what Doug was talking about, where patients were being able to connect to each other's body parts and shit, and essentially what happened was they accidentally released these spores that were like a combination of these funguses and human DNA into the, like the air and the facility and that stuff started like getting into all the patient's bodies and creating like these weird pathways between not only amputated limbs but like from one patient to another. Um, but it doesn't really go much into, uh, what the consequences of this were. It's like the interview is very panicked and like kind of cut short.
Speaker 2:It seems like these have just been chopped out of like a larger piece of a documentary oh gotcha, and then re-uploaded here on archiveorg for some reason, um, but I can't actually find any more information about what documentary this came from or who actually did the interviews, or anything like that it's just like it's funny, because like it seems like all the documents that I was able to find or any videos, like there's no trace to like an original ever.
Speaker 3:Like it's like a picture of a video or like a picture of a printed document, or like you know what I'm saying like there's no, like chunk cut out right, like this random, and there's no catalog of this shit somewhere where, like, somebody has been like hey, here's all the things that we know about this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nobody's really even talking about it online, which is kind of the weird part. A, it's why we're talking about it now, but B, it's just like I don't know. It's strange because usually we can like I feel like we're getting all this information, but it's almost like circling itself, if that makes sense. Like we're getting the like puzzle pieces in just like a circle here, like I don't know, it's just kind of strange. All the squares make a circle all these squares make a circle did you know that?
Speaker 2:uh, all other shapes can fit inside a triangle like all of them did you know that any shape can go inside another shape if you just push hard enough? Or if you make it smaller or if you use enough lubricant and then push anyway, that's kind of like all the information that we have on the key players that like set up this organization um it doesn't.
Speaker 5:It doesn't sound like it's like a. I don't know if it is I could be% wrong but it just doesn't sound like it's like an established thing. You know what I mean especially with all these little pieces seems very experimental. Yeah, I from the videos. Actually, this is a good question. What did it look like? It was like like highly funded, like. It looked like it had like a bunch of shit like labs no like, and that's the thing is like.
Speaker 2:Is these, these interviews weren't conducted, obviously, in like a really high-tech facility? It's like. It's just like cinder block rooms? It's not like dungeon-y, right, but it's like kind of it could be like your local middle school oh right, okay, so it's not. It's not like what you would expect like high-tech, like sleek metal walls and stuff like that with this sort of research, if this is like a real thing, like you would think that you would have heard about this for sure like reanimating people's limbs.
Speaker 5:Well, I mean, it just sounds like a fucking, like a miracle, right, like it's just. It's weird to read about like this.
Speaker 2:I guess I don't know yeah, but I don't know, jason, do you have some information about more of like the methodologies stuff that, yes, they use?
Speaker 5:So Ephemeral Sensations, again headed by Dr Rossi and Dr Fish Fish, Fish, they're this.
Speaker 5:I guess we'll call it experimental gene therapy, or introduction of fungus into the human nervous system, which is a weird fucking thing, to say it essentially works by taking like same concept that Matt was talking about with the like all the mushrooms in the forest and how all their root system is connected. Essentially, what they this would do is if you were to take a portion like if you were to sever that root system part of that system no longer can talk to the other part. Right, what this is going to do is it's going to take these fungal spores that they've been working, researching and it's going to essentially try to bridge that gap and create like a neural bridge between like working tissue and then the amputated tissue.
Speaker 2:It's regrowing neurons.
Speaker 5:Right, essentially it's regrowing neurons. Right, essentially it's regrowing neurons, it's reinforcing the myelin sheath so it can actually talk to the human body again.
Speaker 2:It's basically stem cells, but without having to use.
Speaker 5:Stem cells right. And it's not even using human cells. And that's the, that's creepy, that's super creepy to me. Checkmate conservatives. Explain that one, yeah right. So this works essentially by cross germinating this fungi to help stimulate the nervous response my brain is vegan.
Speaker 4:What.
Speaker 2:My brain is vegan If you replace it.
Speaker 3:Oh, you're wrong, oh, fuck it Never mind If you replace your meat with plant.
Speaker 1:Is it coconut? As meat, oh gotcha.
Speaker 5:Is it?
Speaker 1:coconut as meat, as squash yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, was that today, that was today. That was today.
Speaker 5:That was today, yeah.
Speaker 2:So a lot of this shit's not going to make any fucking sense if you didn't watch the Ludi-thon.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 5:Yeah, there's a lot of that. Are just like yeah, we'll try to keep them brief for the people who know we want us. Okay, doug, won't, we're gonna go real deep into it. Um, so, like I said, this is essentially introducing a foreign fungal parasite infection into, like purposefully into, the human nervous system, and I assume they'd have to do like anti-rejection meds or something see they didn't really go into that, but that's kind of where my brain went.
Speaker 5:Like any transplant recipient, you need anti-rejection meds and you need to be on them for like years I assume if your body's just riddled with like fungal spores, it's gonna be like ah, fuck like your immune system's gonna mushroom, you're basically gonna. Your body's gonna eat itself alive, and that's at least that's what I think would happen, but for some reason they found a way to seamlessly integrate this and so that actually explains some of the things that you guys have been talking about.
Speaker 5:Like you feeling other people's limbs, especially, like Matt said, if the spores had gotten like into the ventilation system and kind of like mixed and crossed or whatever. That might explain why people feel different things and that. But again, I don't understand the science. I get, I get the basics and I get the end result, but like that middle step is just like what the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2:total tangent. But I was listening to an episode of mr bond's medical mysteries this week. Okay, which is like if you ever watch mr bond on youtube he tells like horror stories and stuff, but he has a podcast that's like just medical mysteries and like horror stories and stuff, and he was talking about this plant, like this pig plant, um, where they were like slaughtering pigs and part of the process was basically like using an air gun to liquefy pig brains and like drain the brain and sell the matter but, when they were doing that, they release like all that shit into the air, basically pig brain particles, just like into the air, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:and a bunch of people got really sick because they breathed it in and then their body got confused between what was pig and what was human and started attacking it.
Speaker 5:So super crazy, holy fuck, that's like kind of the thing. But yeah, that's your immune system going. That's a foreign substance.
Speaker 3:I bet they use the thing from no Country for Old Men, where the guy's just like blasting for things, oril gun. No, it's like, it's like a it's like a it's like yeah, it like it's for killing livestock.
Speaker 5:Press air and it just goes. Yeah, it shoots. This metal spike out, just like it's instant death for the animal. Apparently, just like that.
Speaker 2:Just like that.
Speaker 3:Just like that.
Speaker 2:This kills the crab.
Speaker 1:If you guys wanted to know how pigs get killed. Yeah, yeah subscribe to our patreon.
Speaker 3:That's all we talk about um really tall podcast.
Speaker 5:Oh my god, I fucking forgot about that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, why didn't we think about yeah, we should, yeah, what are we doing?
Speaker 5:geez, scrap it, scrap it. All right we're done here um, okay, so we've.
Speaker 5:They've bridged this gap. They've essentially caused your, your body, to reconnect to the limb that's been amputated and now can it, can feel things, it starts to regrow the way to move it around. Um, it this, this breakthrough? Honestly, it's got a lot of like ways to use it and that explains the virtual reality. Like, if you can, if you can interface with something with like a wi-fi signal, like if you can integrate this to human nervous system and you can also integrate it into like electronics, somehow you got it's human bluetooth. Literally, you, you can plug yourself into something and be able to, like, feel anything you want. And that that reminds me so much of those fucking, uh, the sleep beds from.
Speaker 3:Remember the ones they'd get in the beds, they'd shit themselves forever and they'd like kind of fuse into the thing. Yeah, they would fuse into what was that called?
Speaker 5:what episode was that? That was so long ago. That was so. It was like the hygiene beds or the like that was mother. Horse eyes, yes, nice hell yeah, okay, um, but laughing horse, or suffices, or suffice, but that's kind of one of the things they want to try and do with this um, and that's their whole research leads up to this, this breakthrough that essentially uh, I'm guessing that, uh, dr fish was excited about that fish.
Speaker 3:I keep fucking it up you know what I was thinking about, and I didn't find this anywhere. This just like kind of came to my head. But like, so they take, they take the limbs right and then they inject the fungus into the body. But like, do you think they like inject the fungus into the removed limb too and then like, could that fungus essentially like like neuro link to the body, since it's creating the phantom limb?
Speaker 3:that would make sense like regrow, like wi-fi of the like. Could you clone a person from that like? Could like like. So if you like, would the fungus just be?
Speaker 5:like so like if you had a head and you fucking like slapped this fucking fungus on the bottom like brick and mortar and you're saying, maybe like a body comes out the bottom well, it's got this neural link to the other body so it knows what the other body is just cell huh it is just so it's piccolo, never seen.
Speaker 2:Cybermen are gonna start.
Speaker 5:Yeah, we are biomen only watch a dragon ball?
Speaker 4:who?
Speaker 1:we are cybermen we are bioman.
Speaker 5:I was saying that's daleks, just to exterminate, exterminate exterminate um, but yeah, so that's their kind of their breakthrough discovery is that, holy shit, you can literally reconnect a limb to a human body, and this opens the doors for them to start reaching into virtual reality, into all these different applications. And I kind of think that this is where they get like noticed or funded or something, because after they this is kind of where they're like their test results, their lab results, they all just kind of explode a little bit. It looks almost like they have more patients, they have more people to do this on, but that's again I I'm not a hundred percent, 100 on that. This is all just chunked information, um, but with that, that's honestly the most I could find, and then kind of and a lot of that is just assumptions on my part based on how the human body works like yeah, and yeah, that makes we have to go off of the limited availability of information here for sure yeah, I mean, it's not it, it's not really a there wasn't much.
Speaker 3:No, there just wasn't much. Yeah, like even the shit that I like sent to you guys was just piecemeal as fuck yeah we're just kind of filling the blanks, but this is definitely one of the more niche topics we've ever covered, because this is just like scattered bullshit on the internet, so like another thing with no ending oh fuck, yeah, maybe that's.
Speaker 3:That's a very you know because usually well, I mean usually when we do a topic like this and it seems like you know, like we're questioning whether it's real or fake, yeah, like there's at least some kind of like cut off where you're like, ah, this can't be fucking real, it's going into like weird story territory, so it's got to be fake or something.
Speaker 2:But this one, just like there's just nothing left, or there's intentional horror elements.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Like so far this has been kind of clinical.
Speaker 2:Right, like this is literally just an explanation of a thing. I mean I guess there's like this oopsie in the lab, there's where things are and there's people are talking to each other, interview where the dude gets an uncontrollable erection. Assume it right? Well, there is. There is more of that, because there is a document that um is linked in a another document that mike had found that um I took a look at, and this one is just about side effects, like potential side effects of this sort of therapy PP explosion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, okay. So yeah, let's get into that actually.
Speaker 2:So apparently there's, there's a list of intended uses for the methods that they eventually come up with and, you know, let's just get to the good one right off the off the bat, which is limb transfer, which is the most obvious. Like, basically, if you can reanimate limbs and you can get them to talk to each other and talk to people, you can reattach them, right, yeah, and be able to control them. Well, uh, clone a cock, essentially, is one of the uh most prominent things that this gets used for as the clone bone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, apparent by mike's commercial that he found um, but there are some listed symptoms, including frequent and a sudden and sudden ejaculation during orgasm due to overstimulation of the new penis. Um, the penis may start to resemble a collection of sausages due to multiple cells being used in its creation.
Speaker 1:So I guess that means that it starts Like a bundle of fucking.
Speaker 2:Right, like the cells start multiplying so much, I guess, that it becomes just a mass.
Speaker 5:Is it like super cock?
Speaker 2:Yeah a bundle of sausages apparently A heightened sense of smell. A heightened sense of smell. A heightened sense of smell is another one.
Speaker 1:New penises are known to emit an unusual odor that is often described as fishy or sulfurous.
Speaker 5:New car smell Sulfur yeah egg. New car smell Demon penis, Demon penis.
Speaker 2:Increased sensitivity in the hands and feet due to the transfer of nerve endings from other parts of the body during cloning. So basically this kind of seems like, when the process is being done and they're reattaching the penis or whatever, that those nerve endings and like fungal shit starts spreading to other parts of the body and like basically increases the amount of nerve endings that you have in certain parts of your body, or at least the neural activity, and it increases sensitivity in other parts of your body that aren't necessarily intended. Um the sudden growth of a second set of eyebrows on the forehead as a result of additional skin cells being used in the cloning process.
Speaker 2:So I guess this is basically I don't know why it's eyebrows specifically, I guess just extra hair growth, the, the fucking maneuvers you could do like oh my god, yeah, um like super
Speaker 3:long eyebrows double rows, fucking pinstripes, yeah um fucking racing stripes on my forehead.
Speaker 5:Sorry, go ahead, Matt.
Speaker 2:Then we get into a more reasonable, just general repairing organs. Some of the unintended consequences of these are the patient's hair begins to turn green overnight due to a mutation in a gene involved with pigment production. A patient suddenly developing an intense fear of clowns as a result of the modification of a circadian rhythm regulator, don't know. The patient starts speaking in a scottish accent due to a genetic alteration affecting language processing. So I've actually heard of something like this happening. God, I yeah where, like people get brain damage and they wake up and they just have like a German accent, yeah, or something like that.
Speaker 5:I've heard of that.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 5:It's not specific like this, right, I mean maybe this is the same.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know why it's specifically. Maybe it's just something that sounds Scottish, maybe it's trending Scottish Trending Scottish for sure. Uncontrollable urge to sing show tunes at all hours of the day and night due to a mutation in the dopamine receptor gene. The patient suddenly becoming afraid of heights after a genetic modification affecting balance. The patient starting to exhibit signs of kleptomania as a result of changes in the brain reward system regulating dopamine. So I guess it just starts suddenly rewarding people for stealing things.
Speaker 2:So now, if you were rewarded for, like, helping somebody before now, you're rewarded if you do steal shit, right, yeah, exactly, um the patient developing an uncontrollable urge to lick objects such as walls, floors, walls and floors.
Speaker 4:Do it my child is like this Uh oh.
Speaker 2:Involved in social behavior.
Speaker 4:Uh, oh Huh, my child does this.
Speaker 2:She l lately, lately.
Speaker 4:What's the the time frame on lately?
Speaker 2:I mean it's a, it's a fairly new baby, I mean going on a year.
Speaker 4:Now is the warranty up yet, oh, almost I still got a month, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right, you'll be good, just return it. Um. Then we have um some advertised uses of uh things that you can do to improve yourself and different experiences that you can have. So basically, since they can clone different parts of the body there's, they're starting to just like reproduce um parts of specific people. So run on your favorite athlete's legs is an advertised benefit of this procedure. But some of the accidental side effects are when you sit down to watch.
Speaker 5:Yeah, exactly that's the one I'd pick.
Speaker 2:And that might be what causes this. When you sit down to watch TV, you'll suddenly feel the urge to sprint and jump like a professional basketball player, or you won't be able to avoid the urge to do a high five every time somebody says awesome.
Speaker 4:Cool Yowza Yowza, yowza, yowza, yowza, exactly.
Speaker 2:General side effects include your new body parts may not get along with other of your original body parts, leading to physical clashes, for example if you replace your right hand with a left-handed person's hand. It could lead to friction between the two hands, causing them to argue over which hand is dominant. Do they?
Speaker 5:like argue, like, like I think it's just a sense, if I went to go adjust this with my dominant hand, I'd be like wait, no, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think their hands are physically arguing, I think it's just your brain I prefer arguing this we've seen evil dead too here, right yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, his hand becomes evil.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and he's like, yeah, yeah that's what I'm imagining in my brain. Um, and then we have more limb augmentations, which are basically just like giving yourself superpowers. So x-ray vision is an option. Uh, unintended consequences you might get sunburn easily, since your eyes are more sensitive to uv light. People who don't have x-ray vision may see you as a glowing blob. Your clothes might turn transparent when hit by x-rays, which could be embarrassing in certain situations.
Speaker 3:Um, we're playing, I like that these guys are jokesters yeah yeah, there's, yeah, there's a little stinkers so see, this document wasn't actually in a document that's branded like by the ability.
Speaker 2:It's just. I don't know if this is just somebody having a goof, it sounds like somebody having.
Speaker 5:It definitely sounds like somebody having a goof. I didn't like people seeing this and just going like this would be funny, like yeah, this is pretty funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I I have to imagine somebody stumbled across the same things we stumbled upon jerk off hands and just made this list of things Replacing your guns, replacing your hands with guns is another option. Sign me up. Your body temperature may increase to the point where you start sweating bullets. You'll have a constant need to fire weapons at everything around you Sweating bullets.
Speaker 3:Hello me, it's me again. He's getting into chainsaw man territory.
Speaker 2:Yeah, present Reinforcing your skeleton. You may develop an obsession with eating bones.
Speaker 5:What are you saying, Mike? That was a mega death reference.
Speaker 2:Thank you, Mike yeah.
Speaker 1:I have to say just one more time you gotta put the jorts on the rabbit.
Speaker 3:You gotta put the jorts on the rabbit, you've got to put the jorts on the rabbit Gorgomon.
Speaker 2:You may develop a strange attraction towards bones and skeletons, which can be interpreted as a fascination with death and mortality, but can cause unease among friends and family. And then there's like what Jason was talking about with VR, basically, where you can experience things outside of your body by having like a wi-fi connection to other things, um, and the only unintended consequence of that that they have listed is never returning to your body, which sounds like probably good enough reason to shut that shit the fuck down.
Speaker 2:Um, so again, this is just in a text document, with no branding or no like official. It doesn't look very official. I don't know if this is just having a goof or if somebody wrote this or if it's part of the whole experience, of whatever the fuck this is but yeah, yeah, whatever the hell this is um whatever, whatever the fuck that was.
Speaker 5:So that, oh yeah, so those were the alarm bells that kind of got wrong. Um, there was an incident and that kind of is the reason why we don't have any of the information anymore. Um, Essentially, what happened is after they found out that they could basically connect humans to their old limbs, humans to VR. Like all of these applications, they press the fast forward button.
Speaker 1:Hold on turning my Bluetooth on yeah, bluetooth.
Speaker 5:Volume Okay.
Speaker 1:Hey, Alexa Call mom Skip that one?
Speaker 3:I really hope not.
Speaker 1:Or anything that's called their mother Voicemail. Um skip that one I really hope.
Speaker 5:So there's something happened. One of the labs and one of the things another one of the unintended side effects actually led to the the release of this fungus, um, was they did not account for the fact that when they designed a fungus to interpret and transmit, like signals from the internet electrical signals to the human body, they essentially gave a fungus the ability to transmit itself through electrical conduits. So now that they have this thing hooked up to vr and you can connect, basically by bluetooth, and it sends you signals that you're perceiving in your brain from the internet, now this thing has traveled through, essentially like the, the wiring of the building and it spread outside the containment center and then from there it started spreading outside the building and once it got outside the building, well, now it's in, it's just fucking everywhere it's a fungus, and so this is kind of when we start seeing a lot of these things. So fucked up. This is where we start seeing a lot of these random things like what the fuck's going on?
Speaker 5:Like? This is weird. Why is this happening? This is weird. What is this doing? Why is this so?
Speaker 2:weird Doing that yeah.
Speaker 5:That's where all of these things come from.
Speaker 3:Why is it continuing to be even weirder?
Speaker 5:Yeah, where am I growing?
Speaker 3:new eyebrows. Why do I have a fourth set and a fifth Spoilers? That should happen in the first five minutes, bro.
Speaker 5:So from kind of one thing that I have gleaned is that during a, it was actually one of the lab notes. I'm assuming is it's one of the ones that you had looked through, uh what, what, what part hold on where is it I can pull mine.
Speaker 3:I'll pull it up real quick I got it?
Speaker 5:oh no, I've just got the whole thing. Okay, cool, okay, um, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, I know. Yeah, so this is actually from a. Um, this is after dr rossi and dr fichet fichet got some staff, and this was from one, dr Emily Patel. A lot of this is redacted. There's nothing about dates or anything like that. A lot of it's kind of illegible. It looks kind of to be like a handwritten memo and it introduces herself and then she starts talking about this experiment or this test that was run. There were three healthy adult volunteers identified as subjects a, b and c, and they were selected based on their willingness to participate and their compatibility with the gene modification protocol.
Speaker 5:At this point, we know that this has gone to like human trials and if it hasn't, they're doing them anyway. Um, they start testing and they are able to basically uh, link these people to the internet. They have this full experience in vr. Um, they can feel sensations, they can smell smells, they can see things. However, when they tried to pull them out, it almost like was like resistant and it kept them for a second and then they basically pulled the plug. Well, when they pulled the plug, that shut off the restraint for this fungal connection device and it literally said, okay, cool, I'm just going to take over. That's how it got into the system outside the building um and essentially there is.
Speaker 2:This is the plot of resident evil, is it really?
Speaker 5:yeah yeah, I mean, I guess that's any outbreak movie I guess um less conduits okay need more of us being gas one of the things I did find that I think came from this specific thing was this it was a, it was a social media interaction and it was about this girl talking, uh, basically just asking for help, like she's, like I don't know what's going on mushrooms in my. There's mushrooms in my brain, behind my face, on the back of my I feel someone else's ass on my front.
Speaker 5:She starts describing when she has this weird like itchy scratchy, feeling like on her head and it's almost like she almost feels like someone's moving her hair, but like it's, it just doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel normal. And she goes on to say, like how she got a haircut, like not too long ago and like ever since she got this haircut, she started her hair, almost started feeling weird. She goes on to say, like it's almost like somebody is touching parts of my hair that aren't attached to me anymore and so that's strange to me because it's hair's dead, like that ain't supposed to be feeling anything, which means the human body knows where that hair is and is projecting like the feeling for it.
Speaker 5:Or they're like okay, that's interesting so like if you go get your haircut at the salon and they start sweeping it up, you're like what the fuck? What the fuck?
Speaker 4:oh, get the brush off my head or if you shave yeah and this goes down the sink you'd feel that You'd feel it tumbling through.
Speaker 2:Would you just like, would your consciousness, or feeling just like, constantly expand throughout the world as, like particles of you start beginning to Is this how hive minds start? Ugh. Oh fuck, I can feel myself in China right now.
Speaker 4:Floating in the Red Sea in china right now floating in the red sea.
Speaker 2:Um, there was another one I found as well. It was a pretty short one.
Speaker 5:It was the same kind of a content matter, but it was for fingernails instead. So the weird part about this is that almost like it's letting you feel dead things instead of just things that have been cut off, and that's super fucking strange and I'm not okay with that.
Speaker 3:where the fuck am I you back? Yeah, I just, I figured I'd just throw that in there. Good measure, you know? Rebooting.
Speaker 5:Yeah. Again that's piecemeal.
Speaker 4:Red Sea is not even close to.
Speaker 2:China. Yeah, that didn't seem right to me.
Speaker 5:What is happening over here, when did Red Sea You've?
Speaker 3:collectively stopped listening to.
Speaker 2:It's fine. Same thing happened to me too. It it's fine, I'm done. It's fine. Same thing happened to me too.
Speaker 5:It's all good, I get it. We're on ADD time, but honestly, I think that's just about everything that I could actually find on this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if you guys found any more. Just the man whose penis blew up. Yeah.
Speaker 5:Take him to the penis explosion chamber.
Speaker 3:So now I'm starting to think maybe he got too much fungi in his cock. That's not fun. Yeah, no, that's not fun yeah yeah, um, I think.
Speaker 2:I think this is the first one in a long time that we can very safely do a real or fake. Yeah, 100 100 hundo p and there's no discord latency, so we can do it on account we can.
Speaker 5:Perfect timing we're not going to be Go. You've already introduced a new one, One go.
Speaker 4:Three, two Fake Go.
Speaker 1:What you said go second right Go three, three, one Go, go Real.
Speaker 5:Real, real, real. I kind of think it's fake. Okay, why? I think that this is absolutely Okay. Actually, let me revise that I think this is more of a hybrid. Okay, I think somebody found some real information or some real logs about something that was happening.
Speaker 2:And doctored it to make it look like more than it actually was, at least with some of it especially like some of the stuff you were talking about.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the side effects can't be real Was the doctor, I meant to ask this was she, yeah, was she like a whistleblower technically?
Speaker 4:I also think she was the doctor from my commercials, the lady in the lab coat.
Speaker 1:I'm a doctor from my commercials the lady in the lab coat I'm a doctor, all righty, that all I had to say dog's on fire tonight, guys? I don't think it's full one-liners.
Speaker 5:I don't think she's a whistleblower because in the in her like log for it it says that further research is is recommended.
Speaker 3:Okay, all right, I wasn't. I wasn't sure she was a part of that Cause in my in my section, had mentioned whistleblowers, but only ever found the one. Okay, the Dr Reed or whatever her name was.
Speaker 5:I mean again lost the internet. It could just be somebody trying to fluff it up, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I actually said real, for the same reason that you said fake. I'm on the other side of it. Like I think there are more elements to this that are real than are fake. Yeah, Like I think the list of symptoms is fake.
Speaker 5:Yeah, because they're funny, they're fucking hilarious, right yeah.
Speaker 2:God's not that funny.
Speaker 5:No.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:He doesn't have that sense of humor. God ain't cool like that.
Speaker 2:Right, he doesn't have that kind of. He doesn't have that. God ain't cool like that, right? So there's no way all that stuff happened and laid itself out in such a humorous way. But I do think that because there seems like there's some validity and there's too much of a budget for the videos for them to just have been made by some random person just making like an analog horror or something like yeah, they would have to have the copyright, for everybody loves raymond, right exactly yeah, um sure that's the piece of the puzzle that like mike's, like no, no, yeah no, this, this is where I got you.
Speaker 2:But I think they I also think they found like some real footage that had some of this information in it and then either doctored some documents or just totally made up some surrounding information and like put it out there to either create it's a science. I don't know if they're creating an arg, if it was just a fun project to see if anybody noticed. Yeah, I didn't really consider, but I think the core information is real, like yeah, it's, it's a, it's maybe something fake that's built on top of a lot of real stuff that's fair I could get, I could get behind that honestly it's, it's the clinical like, the clinicality of it like this is
Speaker 5:how this works and this is how this does this, and like it, just like it. It tells you, albeit at giant fucking medical terms, but yeah, doug, whoa Reasoning.
Speaker 3:I don't know, I'm torn Like okay. So I guess, after hearing your kind of explanation, I kind of feel like I might be on the same side with you now, because it seems more like feasible that A the symptoms are very fake for sure. There's no getting around that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think we all agree I think the science behind it is real.
Speaker 3:I don't know if the story is real, but I think the science behind it is real and I think that gives it enough validity in my mind to be like there's something to this at some point. Right, mushrooms are scary man. I, I, I would love to have bluetooth in my nips, but it wouldn't yeah, that the fungus are fucking terrifying.
Speaker 5:Have you heard of like the zombie fungus that takes over tarantulas?
Speaker 3:yeah, like I. Yeah, kills it and uses to move uh, shit's creepy.
Speaker 5:Yeah, there's also like a fungus based zombie dust that they uh in haiti a while ago. They use it in russia too at some point, for and essentially, they blow it in your face and you lose all ability to think, reason or do anything. You're like in a comatose state and you can receive orders, and that's about it not a fun time not at all, and there was a guy that was doing this to like hundreds or not hundreds, but it was like that was one of them, creating a zombie army. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3:Matt knows from experience.
Speaker 5:He was one of the zombies.
Speaker 3:He still is my zombie. Did I say?
