Episode 36 - B*tches in the Matrix: Part 4
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome to BIM 4!
Ummm... is reality okay?
This week we're talking about some seriously unhinged glitches in the matrix that have us questioning literally everything. We get into stories of the sky glitching like a broken video game, the super weird phenomenon of random people showing up in the backs of pickup trucks, and one story that honestly lives rent-free in our heads... a brother who walked behind a pillar while moving into a new house... and never came out the other side.
We also spiral into the rabbit hole of Quantum Immortality, where people believe they survived something they shouldn't have... because maybe they actually died in another timeline.
Coincidence? Brain glitches? Timeline shifts? Simulation bugs? We have thoughts.. but mostly chalk it up to ghosts and glitches.
Grab a snack, lock your doors (just in case), and come question reality with us. And if you've ever had your own glitch in the matrix moment... we need to hear it.

We are two-filty horse. I think I said horse. Sorry.
SPEAKER_02We are two filthy horse. We're all beyond the veil now.
SPEAKER_00Happy, yappy yellow. Okay.
SPEAKER_02You got anything? Um got some good stuff for us? So this is super late, but Courtney got a ring, and I just wanted to talk about it really quick because um Oh fuck, yeah, that's a good point.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah, we just like it. Wait, wait, wait.
SPEAKER_02Are we allowed to talk about it together? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_02We've all talked about it together, like all of us sisters and like family and stuff, but we did not say it on the podcast, and Courtney's like a big fan of the pod, so we just want to say congrats, and your ring is gorgeous and blinding, and um you can knock a bitch out with it, and I'm just really happy for you.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely. Congratulations, and yes, that ring is to die for. I'm obsessed with it. I love it.
SPEAKER_02I know it's so pretty. Um, the wedding is officially next May, she thinks. Um, it might change, but for now that's what she's aiming for, so I'm really excited. Um I'm ex I don't even know what her plans are. I genuinely have no idea what she plans on doing for like a wedding or party or wedding party, bridal anything, but I know I'm going to insert myself because that's just what I do. Um, I love planning things, and I do think if I help her plan her wedding, it'll help me postpartum. So, like, literally the only time in my adult life that I did not have seasonal depression was when I was planning my own wedding. So I'm banking on this. I'm I'm banking on letting her help me plan things. You hear that, Corney?
SPEAKER_00She is you and you. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_02Even if she's like, hey, I'm having a wedding party. I'm sure she'll appreciate the help. Okay. Or if she's like, I'm not doing a wedding party, I'm just gonna do me and Brett. I'll be like, that's okay. I wanna plan and I really don't even care. Yeah, like let me do something, please. I need to keep myself busy. Because like my daughter is just gonna be on my boob all the time, and I'm just gonna be like sitting around home. I'm gonna get outside too, but I'm going to be going through postpartum in the winter months. Like, that's hard. Like, I can't just go outside. It's not like summertime where I can just like take her outside. I can and I will, but like for a few seconds, like if she needs like completely re like regulated, I guess. Like if she's just screaming her head off, like going outside, I heard helps a lot because it does a lot.
SPEAKER_00Change a room, and if the changing the room doesn't help, then go outside. That's what I always did. Um I will say though, even I'm I do know like postpartum's hard, but the it might help having well no, that's not you'll be great. You'll be great. Yeah, I but don't I know you have people yes, I was gonna say you have people to reach out to, but um also it might help having all the holidays. Yeah, I mean I know because it's like right like I know it's gonna suck is the weather and stuff, but like now after the holidays, like after your birthday, you might struggle a little bit. So be prepared for that. But then the hormones will be leveled out, but you might struggle. So I would just be prepared for that later. But then you'll have Courtney's wedding to like focus on then too. So honestly, yeah, yeah, Courtney, you better let her help you plan.
SPEAKER_02I'm sure she will.
SPEAKER_00Especially because you're not like you're not gonna like be someone who's like you have to do it this way. You know what I mean? You're just gonna like throw ideas out there and be like, hey, are you cool with this? Or like, what do you want to do?
SPEAKER_02She she could say the most heinous thing, and I'd be like, you know what? Yeah, girl, like you definitely should have camo wedding dress, like, yeah, do that. Like, definitely. Like, I don't care, but yeah, I just want to do something with my time and like feel productive and like I'm doing something other than being a milk bag. So um that's kind of yeah, I'm just really excited for her. And I was talking to um Tyler's stepmom's sister the other day, and we were talking about like because she uh just recently had a baby. I say just recently, but oh yeah, no, he's not even a year old yet. But this was her second baby, and uh she was like, How do you feel about like holidays and stuff because you're gonna be having her so close? And I was like, Well, I want I'm so excited for people to meet her, but I think above everything else, I'm so scared for her safety, like RSV and like stuff like that. Like because we go over to um well, like I mean, if we really break it down, we have Christmas here, which is yeah, Christmas Eve. There's ten of us, if not well, there's more actually, because of all of all of our sisters have a spouse, except for our youngest one, of course. So that's two, four, six, eight. That's like eight people right there. Um, your camera just shut off, but just so that's okay.
SPEAKER_00I was thank you. I was like, what is that noise? Did you see me like look weird? Oh, that's a little battery. Oh no, I might not be able to do I don't that's okay. Um I don't know why it's not charging because it's plugged in.
SPEAKER_02You're good. Oh sorry, like that's okay. If you think about like our family, that's eight eight people just with siblings, and then two parents, so that's ten people, and then all of the kids. Like it's pretty crazy. So then I have to worry about like someone being sick there, and then like the next day we go to Tyler's family, and then a little bit after that we go to his stepmom's side of the family, and she also has a really big family, which is nice because like we also have a big family, so it's nice to just kind of like blend in. Like, um, do you know how like sometimes you go to people's houses and they're like, Okay, one by one, we're gonna open everyone's gift. That's what they do there, but it's very sweet and very wholesome. Like, I never feel like I feel like I can still blend in, even though it's my turn to open again. Yeah, you don't feel like the spotlight's on you, like it just feels like you're hanging out with friends, kind of yeah, like it's it's a good time, and everyone's really just great there, and I I really like that like that that side of the family is like really fun. So but yeah, I'm really excited to introduce the baby to everybody because I also wanted to bring her to like my mom's side of the family this year for Christmas because I haven't gone there in a while. Um, and like who doesn't want to meet a baby? So I have like all of these like aspirations to introduce the baby to everybody, but I'm also like I'm scared because it's a bad time, but like I mean she'll be not even a month old, probably hopefully, for Halloween. So we'll just be inside. We honestly, unfortunately, we don't get check-or treaters here. It sucks, but whatever. Maybe we'll just go to I don't know if dad gets check-or treaters either because he hasn't been there for Halloween. But I don't do their trick-or-treaters. You don't? You don't get any?
SPEAKER_00No, um, our street, even though we have like a decent chunk of kids on our street, I think they're all trick-or-treating, but we don't have street lights on our street. So I think because of that, people do not trick-or-treat on this side for the most part. Oh, that's right. Everyone goes up, you know that little coffee shop that I've gone to, like up the street a little bit, like past the fire hall.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay. If you don't, I'll show you next time you come. But there's like a little like neighborhood, like as soon as you if you go right there, there's like a little like kind it's kind of a housing development, but it's not a housing development, if that makes sense. It's like a little just enclosed neighborhood, like off from the main road that has sidewalks and streetlights everywhere. Yeah. So everyone in the area goes there to trick-or-treat. And it's a blast. Like all the houses, like, but it's so fun to go because like the houses will have like tents set up and like they'll be like cooking out and having fires and stuff while the kids trick-or-treat. And like the one year I had someone like give me like a little bottle, like shot bottle or something. They were like handing out alcohol to the adult trick-or-treaters, like the adults with the parents of the trick-or-treaters. Yeah, so I we're not sure if we're gonna take Mika yet or not this year because of her up. Well, we're definitely dressing her up, but like I she gets too excited, and I don't know how she's gonna do a trick-or-treating, you know what I mean? She's just gonna be going nuts.
SPEAKER_02Should I just be like around everyone? I um I think I'm gonna dress uh have we said her name? I don't think we've got to be.
SPEAKER_00I said it, but you might have blocked it, like you might have beeped it out. Like I said it I said it a couple like a two episodes ago, I think I said her name like three times. But but then I realized that you weren't saying her name, so then I stopped saying her name. Oh really?
SPEAKER_02Because I was like, I didn't even notice. I really didn't even notice. Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. It might be out there, it might not be.
SPEAKER_00No, I don't think it's on the anything that came out though. That's what I'm trying to remember. Because I listened. What's the last one that came out? Was it the um Lore? The yeah, the cryptid the Rome Lore. Yeah, with the Fred Weaver or Weaver of the Redwoods, I mean.
SPEAKER_02I wonder who that is. But yeah. Um I know that we're gonna dress her up, but uh we I don't I don't know if we're gonna do anything because I don't want to take her out. It's probably not that cold, but she's gonna be like not even a month old.
SPEAKER_00No, yeah, it's probably not worth it.
SPEAKER_02You guys can go out like my house, you know?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you guys can go to the door. Like out if they have like a little thing during the day, you can go to that and like take a cute picture of her or something. Something, yes. But yeah, at night time, I don't think it's worth it. I mean it's up to you obviously, but I would probably just stay home too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't think I would want to do that, but I know Ben's first trick-or-treat, we stayed home.
SPEAKER_00We handed out candy.
SPEAKER_02Wasn't he like the Incredibles or something? Like, weren't you all the yes? Um, I want to do something like that, like just for like picture purposes and like memories and stuff, because like how would you not want to dress your kid up, you know? Like it's just so cute. So do you have an idea for so long? Strong. I don't. I literally know not that's that baby shower. No, I literally know nothing. But I I think I want to do like a family costume, but I'm just so excited because like I want I I'm I wanna show her off so bad, but I feel like I'm gonna be I mean, you know how I am with sicknesses. So I think I'm like thinking all these things and I have all these high hopes, but I think I know myself a little better than that. And I think I'm gonna be worried. Like, I think uh no matter what we're doing Christmas Eve here, because she'll be like around three months at that time, and like that's like relatively normal to start getting newborns out in public and stuff, and like we might do Thanksgiving like wherever, like in John in town, in our hometown. But yeah, we'll see what happens. But I'm really excited about it, and um I forget why I started talking about this, but I did. Um the only other thing I want to say about it. It's okay. The only other thing I want to say was uh happy birthday to my husband. His birthday is July 1st, so this is a good one. Happy birthday! You old ass. 29? That's a new girls thing. I don't I I hope somebody gets the reference, but well, I just said what it was, but I oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you this. This is what I was talking about right before we started recording, and I was like, actually, I'm just gonna save it. I'm reading this book right now. And it's called uh I'm not very far. Well, yes, I am. I'm like almost halfway through. It's called The Night in the Moth, and it's like not a funny book. I don't really know how to describe what this kind of book is. I haven't quite read anything like it, but it's really interesting. And at first I was like, I'm gonna fall asleep during this, but then I got really action-packed, and like people started like I don't want to spoil it, but like people in the book started like disappearing and stuff like that, and so the main character is like on a quest to go find them, but she's like not quite allowed to leave where she's at, so she has to sneak away, and it's really fun. There's like tall, dark, and handsome guy, I love it so much. But it's um it's definitely fantasy because there's this gargoyle in it. And I think I just told you about the one gargoyle book I read, but we're not getting into that. If you're friends with me on Goodreads, you know. But there's this one gargoyle in there, and he's meant to like protect the main character, and he calls everybody Bartholomew, and I don't know why, it's just the funniest fucking thing, but I needed to tell you that because I'm reading this book with my one friend from Book Club, and she messaged me this morning and she said something about Bartholomew, and I was like, dude, that is my favorite thing about this entire book, is that this gargoyle just will call every single person he meets Bartholomew, and it's it's a dumb thing that I'm talking about, but it's so funny, and I can't stop thinking about it. I just kind of want to read, but I have way too much to do today. I can't do that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I feel you on that. I uh so I pulled up when you were talking, I pulled up good reads to see it. So it sounds interesting. Is this the one you said this is the one that you're you wanted to read before you read the plated prisoner series?
SPEAKER_02Yes, this one because me and my friend are reading it together, so I was like, I should knock this one out first and then I can read all three of the guild series.
SPEAKER_00That's good. So the series I'm reading right now, I I'm only on a second book. So I are there. But it seems really good. I think it's six books in it. I'll let you know, but the plot is still like kind of getting laid down, so I don't know exactly what's going on. Like for the the book plot, you know, there's like individual book book plots, but like the whole like series, I don't know where it's gonna go. So but I don't know why I'm talking like that. I'm sorry, but I'm like, go I like dragged it out so long. But anyway, um I'll let you know, but so far it's really good, and I think that you would enjoy it. So keep it on your radar, okay.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Let me know how you feel. Like, you know, when you book, or like whenever you get like real into it, I'll put it on my TBR.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because I'm I'm loving it so far. So I I definitely think that you would like it. And it doesn't have like I'm sure I would. It's not like super spicy, but I mean there's spice in it. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. There is spice, there's obvious spice in it, but there's a lot of like that like needy, longing, angstiness it within the series, and then the fair play.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I love it.
SPEAKER_00So it's interesting. But there's a lot of plot too. So I that's I I know we need we need a mix of both of that.
SPEAKER_02So yeah, unless, yeah. Yeah, because I mean I was gonna say unless it's Ice Planet Barbarians, but even that has something in it.
SPEAKER_00Like it's not just those are such like wholesome books though, like for what happens in them.
SPEAKER_02I know, it's so funny because that's what I was thinking. I was like, there's still something in it, even though it's absolutely obscene.
SPEAKER_00Yes, it's like they're so sweet, like they're sweet little like palette cleanser books. Like anytime you read something that's like too much or whatever, you you read one of the Ice Planet Barbarian books, then you're set to go and to dive back into whatever.
SPEAKER_02That's exactly what I use it for too. And I'm glad that you said that because I remember whenever you first told me to read them, and you were like, Oh yeah, there's like 19. I was like, oh my god. And you were like, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, you do not have to read them all at once, and then you told me how you use them as a palette as a palette cleanser, and I was like, that's a good idea. So that's what I do to get out of a reading slump. Scrub your brain. Um, yeah, also the the pumpkin spice cafe is also a really good one to get out of a reading slump. Like, you can read it. I know I need to put that on my spice cafe. My thing.
SPEAKER_00Let me see. I'll put it on now so I don't forget it. Because you've been bringing it up like new. I think I put it on here, but I don't remember.
SPEAKER_02You might have. That one is a really good one, and then the next one, I forget if it's the cinnamon bun bookstore, if it's something else. Please don't come at me. Oh no, it's a cinnamon bun bookstore, and then the Christmas tree farm, and then is this all the same series? The strawberry patch pancake house. Yeah. Okay, okay. Amazing. But you can read them as palette cleansers as long as you read them like in a row. Like just the same with Ice Planet Barbarians. Like just read them like in a row.
SPEAKER_00Like in the right order, you mean, right? Okay, I gotcha. I just added it to my list.
SPEAKER_02It's so cute and wholesome. Like last year I read the the pumpkin spice cafe around um.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's what my that's my plan is. I'm gonna get a like pumpkin spice, like or like pumpkin cream cold brew or something. And then worth it. And read. Maybe I'll just take like a little autumn day off and sit around outside in October.
SPEAKER_02Oh my gosh. And then last weekend I told you like how well, am I like breaking the fourth wall? A while ago I told you that um Tyler and I had like a just complete lazy day.
SPEAKER_00And excuse me, I just burp. Please please cut that out if if it's in there. Because I'm not muted.
SPEAKER_02Okay. We had like a complete lazy day and we went outside and we like had like our our morning drinks. I want to say coffee, but I don't drink coffee. Um but we went outside and we were just chilling, and then we came back inside and he was doing like a project. He he does like little things on the side here with like computers to get um just like a little bit of money here and there, and I was just sitting there reading, and he put on this um playlist, and I noticed that it was called the pumpkin spice cafe playlist. I was like, I feel seen because like it was a whole bunch of like I don't want to say like popular music, but it was a lot of music I knew from like TikTok or Taylor Swift or Harry Styles or something like that. And I was like, I looked up and I saw that it was called the Pumpkin Spice Cafe playlist, and I was like, oh I was like, Did you know that's what it was called? He was like, Yeah, I searched it, and I thought that was really cute because at the beginning of each book, the author has like a playlist like to set the vibe of the book, and I was like, that's really cool. Like, it's just a cute little thing that the author does. So um that's also just something nice because you could even like play that while you read it. Like, it's just it's so cool. I love those books, so definitely worth the read.
SPEAKER_00Oh, you can't hear me. Okay, I was muted. I did not know I was muted. I was saying how cute he is, um, like for that, you know, not like he's not hot to me. He's an attractive, good-looking man. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02Except that I do actually like tuna, but I know I remember you saying that because when we say tuna fish sandwich, we mean like all of our husbands, like all of our sisters' husbands are you know, handsome, beautiful, whatever. But like to us, that's tuna. Like you can't, yeah, you can't you can't look, you can't touch, that's gross. Yeah, because that's because they're like brothers. Like they're brothers, you can't all of their literally brothers. Yeah, they're like brothers to go down and farted on me. Like there is no yeah, nothing lost there.
SPEAKER_00Well, Dylan and I started dating when you were a baby, so not not literally a baby, but you know what I mean. You were a kid and you were young.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah. And now he sees me pregnant and he's probably like that's illegal.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he did he got a little choked up. Not choke like not like emo he' emotional, not like that. Like he was just like, I can't believe like she's she's like we were going to your your gender reveal and he's like, I can't believe like I'm driving to Alex's like gender reveal. Like he's like, I just like she's a child.
SPEAKER_02You wanna see the bump? I didn't show you recently. Yeah. Okay. Oh I don't think you're ready for it. I gotta get up. I gotta like move my thing.
SPEAKER_01Are you muted? No.
SPEAKER_00I was texting Dylan back real quick. I will tell you in a second, but yeah, your bump is bumping big time. We gotta get your pictures. We gotta get them.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Especially because you said about you can you can cut this out, but you said about your foot swelling, so I'm really worried about your your feet and hands swelling. Did it stop swelling? Okay, good.
SPEAKER_02But it's I think it was because I got really bad sunburn and then I went to the beach and I was like, Oh, okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_00You're good then. You're good.
SPEAKER_02But it yeah, I think I'm okay. It's been fine, but I haven't been on my feet too much, so yeah, and I know you're like I don't know.
SPEAKER_00I know you don't love getting pictures done, but please like take a couple. If you want to go and cause it'll make you so happy, um, especially looking back on those. Because I was kind of self-conscious, like I loved being pregnant, but there were times I was self-conscious, but I still like look back and like love my maternity pictures, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03That's normal, I think.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, because your body's changing so much. Yeah, yeah, it's hard to see it happen, even though it's nice and you're grateful for it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and you're more than welcome to cut that conversation out because I don't know if you want everyone knowing you're self-conscious or not, but No, I don't care. Okay, no, it's okay. But no, Dylan, the reason I didn't answer it away is because Dylan texted me and he's like, Don't answer the door, and I like saw that and I was like, What the fuck? And then I looked terrific. Mm-hmm. And it's there's this creepy solar guy like selling like solar panels, like to put them on your roof. And um he was over at my neighbor's house and she called me the day after. I didn't know, I thought she was fucking talking to her like grandson or something. So I didn't interrupt because I took Mika for a walk in the evening, and I didn't go over and like talk because I thought she was talking to like her family. Well, it turns out that it was like a creepy dude, like like selling like solar panel things, and he was like showing her he pulled his shirt up and like showed her where he got stabbed before and like all this other stuff. Then he asked if she could if he could pee in her bushes, just a whole bunch of weird ass fucking shit. You know what I mean? Like we and he might be like literally right outside my door listening to me right now. I don't know, but I have everything. Let me double check, make sure everything's locked. Okay. My door was not locked, so because Dylan came in, so I did just lock it, but yeah. So he texted me, he was like, Don't open the door because he's walking up and down the street, and I was like, Okay. Which we don't live we don't live in like a creepy ass place. You know where we live. We live in a very nice, like, little neighborhood, but there are like the you know, like people who come, they're like, Hey, do you want your windows fixed or solar panels and that kind of shit? Like, we do get that around here, so and I'm like, No, I'm fine. Like, my I just say my husband owns his own construction company, I don't need anything. Right.
SPEAKER_02Right, right, right, right, dude. People like knock on my door and they're like, You want us to clean your gutters? And I'm like, Is this sexual or like for real? Like, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00What if they have like a van that says it?
SPEAKER_02Dude, one time I think I told you this, but I don't know if I said it on the pod. If I did, I'm sorry. I really don't mean to repeat myself, but It was so fucking funny. One time somebody knocked on the door and I opened it and they were like, Hi, is your dad home? And I was like, I own this house.
SPEAKER_00Like, I couldn't believe it. I'm literally, that is fucking funny.
SPEAKER_02I'm literally 20 I was like 23. I was like, I guess I did kind of look like a child, but like not really. Like not really.
SPEAKER_00Well, one fucking time I was at Barb's house and somebody knocked on the door and they were like, Are you the queen of this castle? I was like, What? No. Okay, I can hear you now, I think. Talk.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I can talk. I can hear you. You're good. It sounded like it like blanked out for a second, so I don't know. That's weird. But um who says that though? Like Yeah, like it's I don't know if that's like his like thing where he like tries to get people to giggle and be close, like friends with him or something. I don't know, but it was so fucking weird.
SPEAKER_02If you can't do that, you're a stranger. Like, don't do that until like we've at least conversed for 35 seconds.
SPEAKER_00Like, don't Yeah, your first line to me should not be that.
SPEAKER_02No, that's so creepy, but I'm glad you locked your door. Um, that's terrifying, and I yeah, that would that would be bad.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so if you hear Mika like start freaking the fuck out, that's someone at the door. But I'm not answering. Yeah, probably. I will. If I hear it, I'll be like, Dylan, come save me.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And he'd be like, okay. Yeah. Do you want anything from Starbucks while I'm on my way?
SPEAKER_00That is why he he did bring me Starbucks, actually, just a couple minutes ago.
SPEAKER_02I love that for you. I know I want to try that drink so bad. Oh, you gotta wait. Like, I don't want to. Maybe they'll have it next. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Just buy it and freeze it for next year.
SPEAKER_02Megan freeze the popping bubbles too.
SPEAKER_01That's funny.
SPEAKER_00Put it in the freezer. That's what my great grandma would have done.
SPEAKER_02No my grandma.
SPEAKER_00They put everything in the freezer.
SPEAKER_02I mean it works. And then it'd get freezer burnt as fuck. Like, I literally said you gotta get to it.
SPEAKER_00No, like she would always like have ice cream when I went over there, and it was always like freezer burnt, like as a kid, like she'd get it. I'm so grateful. You know, I mean, I miss her to death so much. Like, rest in peace. But she'd put like fucking ice cream in the freezer for like ever. And then it would just like I don't know how long, like it was definitely years expired type of shit. Like, you know what I mean? Like, even her, like when we when she passed away and we were cleaning out her house, like she had like she had this like thing under the cabinet for like canned food. And it would be like like years, years, years expired. You know what I mean? Like Oh my god. Like, I'm like, how dare her? Like she was eating this shit. Like I'm like not like now I feel bad because I wasn't watching, but she I'd go over and shovel out her driveway and shit for her, but I wasn't like checking her canned goods to make sure she wasn't eating expired foods. So that's okay.
SPEAKER_02You didn't expect that. Who does that, you know?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I was like, man. Well, actually it never mind, but yeah.
SPEAKER_02So I yeah, I mean sometimes you gotta make do with what you have, depending on what you have.
SPEAKER_04Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_02Um I try really hard to get rid of expired things in my house, but sometimes I forget they pile up and then I'm like, uh oh. I'll have a little bit of expired.
SPEAKER_00I mean like 10 to 20 years expired food though. Like canned goods from like tw 10 to 20 years expired.
SPEAKER_02Like that should have been in a fucking bunker.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like she had like green beans from like the twenties. Like it was not good. No, not the twenties, but I think it was like the fifties or something. Like it was like, I mean ancient. I was like, how the fuck is she keeping this for a reason? Like some of it was like looked like battery acid was melting through the can or something. Oh my god. It was like in the very back of the thing. Cause you could see it was big, so like you could see like the front, and the fronts were like nice and presentable. Then it's when you're digging out and you get to the back, there was like shit that should not have been there. She must not have like you did the old grocery trick where you've got yeah, she shoved it at the front and let it go.
SPEAKER_02Oh, I'm guilty of that.
SPEAKER_00I'm bad. I was gonna make a pervert joke, and I'm not going to, so that's why I I paused.
SPEAKER_01So why?
SPEAKER_00Because I was gonna make a joke about taking the back. Oh because you said about I know, you said about being guilty, and then I was like like of being in the front, and I was like, I know, I know, and then I was like double stick naked You fucking stick at him.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I have been very honest about that. Um I can't do it, and then I'm sorry, but I just can't. Um I've done it before, but not with not with my husband. I I'm so sorry. Sorry, Mom!
SPEAKER_04Sorry, Titan.
SPEAKER_00No, good job though. Oh my god, shut up. I'm not okay, okay, okay to save you. I just want to say that um I got a bike. I I bought a bike. Dylan like kind of bought the bike. It's our money, but he was like, You gotta get it. And he's like, It's it's this beautiful blue color. It's so pretty.
SPEAKER_02It is really pretty.
SPEAKER_00The only thing is it doesn't have like the hand brakes, like it has like the backpedal, like pedal brakes. So that's a little bit like yeah, I'm struggling. Bringing it back. Yeah, I'm struggling. I feel like I'm like eight years old riding a bike again, backpedaling. I'm like, what if my chain pops or something? So oh my god, pop it back in, bitch. Yeah, so I did get that, so I'm very excited um for like little family bike rides and stuff when it's not like just horribly hot. So in the evenings, yeah, because I don't know for you, but and I know we said this in our last episode too, but it's hot as fuck, and even in the evenings, it is so hot. Like it'll be like nine o'clock and ninety degrees outside, and I'm like, I can't go out there.
SPEAKER_02Yes, no, it's bad.
SPEAKER_00I'm trying to get my shit together, like I really am, but um, I've been struggling lately.
SPEAKER_02It's hard. Like you can't breathe out there sometimes.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like I'm going out to take care of my gardens and stuff, and I'm like, I can't, I can't clean up, you know, Mika's Mika's stuff and clean her area up, and I'm like, I can't do this anymore, I can't breathe. So, yeah. And then besides that, my in-laws got a an RV, like big RV, that sleeps like I think like I don't remember how many people, but all of us. So a lot. Yeah, it's a handful, like we can all fit in it for like racing trips and stuff, so that's great. And um we're super excited about it. Uh they started cleaning it out, which I wanted to help clean it out. I feel so guilty because I wanted to go help clean it out, but I had to work like all like I'm working so much to make up time because I went with them to pick it up on Tuesday. So I missed out working like in the evening that day, so I had to make up the neck like the rest of the week for that, so I couldn't go help clean up.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I get it, dude.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so but yeah, that's all I think that's all I have like for Yappy Hour, though, is that those updates. I'm so excited about the bike though, and and I felt so guilty buying it. And Dylan was like, you have to, and it's so funny because it like looked almost exactly like the one I had saved on Amazon because I was like window shopping on Amazon.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But the one on Amazon like folds up into like a little like it like literally is a bike that like folds into like a little square so you can pack it away and store it and like take it on vacation and stuff. But I don't know how like I don't know how relia I didn't obviously buy it from Amazon because I didn't know how reliable it was.
SPEAKER_02So but this one did you look at the reviews on it?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I did, and it seemed okay, but I still was nervous.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Well, I'm glad that you got to like see something and like pick it out yourself. Like that's that's important sometimes. Like Oh my god. Like if I go do that, I want to see it myself.
SPEAKER_00And I want to tell our listeners, I told you guys, like in our sister's group chat, but I was like pushing it around the store, and this old man was bitching about me to his wife. He's like, he said, it's bad enough people bring their dogs in here now. We have someone bringing their bike in here. And I was like, literally, the tag, like the like fucking tag was on it still, and I'm like, I clearly did not embarrassing for him. I'm like, you do know that this place has bikes too. It was Walmart, so like I'm not ashamed to say I was shopping at Walmart, like I was to Walmart.
SPEAKER_02They had everything at Walmart, like you know there's bikes at Walmart, like what like eventually there's gonna be a pet section at Walmart. Like, I can't believe that he was so stupid to think that you just brought your sparkly brand new fucking bike into Walmart.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and he was like grumpy, and if he was closer to me, I would have said something like I would have been like, hey, like I'm just buying this. You know what I mean? I would have said something to him. Yeah, just like kill him with kindness kind of talk. Like just kind just kind of to hurt his feelings so he knew that I heard him. Yeah. But like also be nice about it and correct him so he knows not to talk shit in middle Walmart like that. But if he's too far away, and if I would have like if I would have said something, it would have been like really obnoxious. Like because it was he was so far away, I would have had to make my right make away to him or shout, and I'm like, it's not worth it, so I let it go.
SPEAKER_02It's not. No, no, at that point it's really not. I I feel like I wish I wish I was more like that, like how you can like kill people with kindness, because I feel like if it were me, I would have turned around and be like, Are you fucking stupid? Like you dense, like sometimes literally has a tag on it, dumbass. Like, I'm I'm I just get too fired up and I'm like, I need to relax.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god, I saw these like hats. I was like, it was either hats or t-shirts, and it was like I can't say that, it's mean, or something like that, and then it said it was the other sisters, and it was like the other what the other sister says, I'll say it, or something like that, and I was literally gonna send it to you for us to get, and I didn't because it's so because I do say things much nicer than you most of the time.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but I will say you are very gentle.
SPEAKER_00Um when it comes to Ben though, I am not afraid to be mean. Like I have gotten rude to people in like one time a cashier wouldn't say hi to Ben. Ben said hi to the cashier like five times. And and he was a baby, like he was little, and uh the cashier just kept ignoring him, and then I like was kind of rude to the cashier. I was like, Yeah, he said hi to you, and then the cashier looked at me and was like, hi, and I was like, Yeah, he said it like five times, so you were purposely ignoring him. And then the cashier went completely quiet and didn't and like I get that you don't, but like you have to kids are learning yes, and kids are learning how to be people in the real world. You have to let them like you have to let them experience that that I can't just lock him up until he's a presentable age for you and then bring him out to public. Like, fuck off, especially because Ben's always been good in public. I think he had a tantrum in public one time, and he got taken out of the store. I finished shopping, Dylan took him out to the car and talked to him, and he got grounded for it, and that was the only time.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. See, that's effective. That's that's good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so but like so. I never really well when he was a baby, sometimes he would do this like Marco Polo thing where where he'd like go, then he wouldn't say marco polo, he would just be like loud, like he'd go, ah, and then like wait for someone else to say it back to him. But he was so little I couldn't like yell at him for that. Yeah, how can you? That's adorable. Like it was funny. So one time one time Dylan Bart Bart was babysitting him, and Dylan I went to go do something, and we stopped at Walmart. Like, this is back when we lived back in the old town, yeah, and we heard him do it, and I was like, Did your mom really bring Ben here? I'm like, Cause she didn't tell us she was going anywhere, and then I wasn't wasn't mad about it, I was just like, That sounds like my kid, like that is my child, and then we like listened and like honed in on him and like found him like going through the aisles, like listening to him doing that noise, and then we found him and like jumped up on them and scared them. But yeah, it was funny.
SPEAKER_01That is so funny.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was hilarious. I love that. But yeah, anyway, I think that's all for Yappy R unless you have something. Bim! It's BIM! I love it. Bim time, guys! Okay. Have you ever Have you ever looked at a stranger and felt an unsettling wave of absolute certainty that you've met them before? Or watched a bird freeze midair only for the world to snap back to a normal heartbeat later. Fucking Christ. Or watched a bird freeze midair only for the world to snap back to a normal too nor my god.
SPEAKER_01That there's a lot going on.
SPEAKER_00You good Or watched a bird freeze midair only for the world to snap back to normal a heartbeat later. That was so easy. I don't know what the fuck I was doing.
SPEAKER_02There's a lot happening. I heard you found off like it's fine, you're fine.
SPEAKER_00We like to think reality is made of concrete and steel, but we're learning that it might just be made of code, and lately that code has been fraying at the edges. Welcome back to BIM. Tonight we pulled back the curtain for part four of our ongoing dive into the uncanny. If you thought for the first three chapters of this journey, if you Huh, if you thought the first three chapters of this journey were bizarre, you aren't ready for what comes next. The system isn't just malfunctioning anymore. It's actively trying to cover its tracks. I really wanted to make you struggle with sleep this time around, so instead of explanations, I just found a bunch of glitches online to tell you about. Our first account tonight comes from a Reddit user named Marcus, who was driving through rural New Mexico in autumn. It was a Tuesday, around 3 p.m. The sky was completely clear, a brilliant blue. Marcus was on a long, empty stretch of highway, listening to a podcast, completely at peace. And then the sun went out. Marcus describes it not as a cloud passing over or an eclipse. He said it felt like someone flipped a light switch in a room. One second it was blinding daylight, the next, absolute pitch black midnight. He slammed on his brakes, his headlights cutting through the darkness so dense he couldn't see the desert bush on the side on He slammed on his brakes, his headlights cutting through a darkness so dense that he couldn't see the desert brush on the side of the road. He looked at his dashboard. His radio was dead, his phone screen was black, but the engine was still humming.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00For two minutes, the Marcus sat in his car, paralyzed by a primal fear. He said the air felt heavy, like the atmosphere itself had lost its pressure. He tried to look up through his windshield, but there were no stars, no moon, just an empty, terrifying void where the sky used to be. Bitch, yeah. What the fuck? And then just as suddenly, click. The daylight returned in an instant. The radio blared back to life, mid-sentence. Right, I know.
SPEAKER_01I'm not okay.
SPEAKER_00The sun, obviously, I don't like that. Yeah, I found this online. I'm just tell like I'm giving you the story. I don't I did not research this. I'm just saying.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's someone's experiencing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, the sun was in the exact same position it had been two minutes prior. Marcus pulled over, trembling, waiting for the news reports. Surely a nationwide total blackout of the sun would be global news. He waited, he checked the internet, nothing. Okay, that was like, my god. According to the rest of the world, that Tuesday afternoon was completely normal. But Marcus knows what he saw, or rather what he couldn't see. The sky forgot to sky. For two minutes, Marcus was trapped in the loading screen at the universe.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god. Yeah. No, two minutes is too long.
SPEAKER_00Like that's I wonder if it was like actually two minutes though. Cause like, I mean two two minutes is super long, but like you you know what I mean? Like when you're scared and something like that happens, I feel like I don't yeah, I mean, maybe he looked at the time. I like I don't actually know, but like like because I wasn't there, you know what I mean? But it's like I don't know if I would think to look at the time to know how long passed.
SPEAKER_03I don't know.
SPEAKER_00And I feel like even if it was like 30 seconds, it would feel forever.
SPEAKER_02Yes, it would feel like fucking five minutes. So I do wonder that too. And if his dash was off, like and there was like no anything, how could he have seen the clock?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So and he said didn't I feel that it was just a thought. I'm trying to think that. I'm sorry. I'm looking back. His radio is that his phone scream is black. So yeah, he doesn't actually I don't think he actually knows how much time passed. Yeah, but still. Yeah, like that's scary. Not a great time. Not a great time. Oh my god, my mouse just like stopped working. My mouse stopped mousing.
SPEAKER_02Bitch, your mouse stopped mousing, your camera stopped camera. I know, I'm breaking it. What happened?
SPEAKER_00It just died. Like, are you charging it? I'm charging it now, but like for me to use it as a dash cam or not dash cam, fucking Christ. For me to use it as a webcam, I need to plug it in to the same like slot that charges it from, so I can't charge it while using it as a webcam if it makes sense. Because it's not actually a webcam. Yeah, so I had to get a real webcam, even though the GoPro is like a beautiful like nice quality.
SPEAKER_02So nice, like it just looks so good.
SPEAKER_00It does. But I mean it works. I didn't even know I could do that. Thank for thanks for Dylan for rigging it up for me. I had no clue. Yeah. Yeah, dialing. Next story. If a glitch in the sky is terrifying, a glitch in our own memory is worse. It forces you to ask a question no one wants to answer. Am I losing my mind? Which I think I ask myself every day. Uh consider the story of Sarah and David. They were celebrating this one is so creepy, and I wasn't it sounds so familiar, so I don't know if we did it before, so I'm so sorry if we did, but it's so interesting to me. They were celebrating their anniversary in Chicago. They wanted to try a highly recommended upscale Italian restaurant called Laura. David had made the reservation a month in advance. They drove down, parked the car, and walked right in. Sarah remembers the velvet curtains, she remembers the smell of garlic rosemary, the dim candlelight, the waiter named Thomas who had an accent. They had a spectacular three-course meal. David paid with his credit card, they left a tip, and walked out into the night air. They walked out into the crisp night air and went home. A week later, Sarah went to recommend the restaurant to her sister. She opened her phone to find the website, but nothing came up. She laughed, thinking she misspelled it. She checked David's phone. No search history for the restaurant. She asked David to check his bank statement for the charge. They found the charge, but it wasn't from a restaurant. The light um the lightem. The line item on his bank statement read pending system adjustment, and the amount was exactly zero dollars. So I mean I guess it's a good thing they got a free meal though. Baffled, they drove back to the exact street corner where they had just eaten just seven days prior. There was no Italian restaurant, and this place was a completely hollowed-out abandoned brick building, boarded up with plywood, covered in years of dust and graffiti. A rusted sign on the door read that it was proper um that the property was condemned since 2018. Oh my god. Sarah Sorry, I got a hair in my mouth. Sarah and David I know. Sarah and David stood on the sidewalk, the taste of rosemary still in their memories, staring at a building that hadn't held life in close to a decade. Did they step into the par Oh my god, what the fuck? It's like a a dog hair. It's okay. That's what happens when you have a Batman that's everywhere. Did they step into a parallel timeline for dinner, or did the simulation temporarily spin up a location just to satisfy a reservation that shouldn't have ever been made?
SPEAKER_02Okay, so I don't Oh my gosh. Okay, so it helps that her husband also remembered it. Yeah. Like it's not like he was like, no, I have no clue what you're talking about. Like, luckily, he also is experiencing this because I think this would send me into I would literally check myself into a hospital if that happened to me. I know for a fact. But like also, you don't even have to sit there and think that you're that crazy because the bank statement, same day, same time, or you know, like the time and date match up, but the price is like off because there's nothing there. But like that would make me feel validated, but it would also make me feel worse because what the fuck happened? Like, that is proof that something happened. But oh my god, I don't yeah. That's a glitch. That is absolutely a glitch in the matrix. That's not paranormal, in my opinion. Like, that's something that literally happened to two people, like, and there's proof of it. Like, it's not like oh you're not gonna be able to do it. But there's like not there is proof of it. So it's like confusing.
SPEAKER_00So they know that they're not crazy, but anybody else could be like nah.
SPEAKER_02That is like shared trauma. Like they trauma bonded because what the fuck is that?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that'd be creepy. Like, I just can't imagine going through that.
SPEAKER_02No, that would be really bad.
SPEAKER_00This story, uh, hold on. This next story I found online from someone named Chloe, who was driving her grandfather's old pickup truck down a country road in Ohio. It was dusk, the strange time of evening when shadows stretch out and the light plays tricks on you. Which I honestly hate driving at that time of day. It just stresses me out.
SPEAKER_02I don't like it either.
SPEAKER_00Uh, Chloe was alone, driving home after a long weekend. She happened to glance at her rearview mirror, looking at the small sliding glass window that opened up into the truck's truck bed. Sitting right against the glass, inside the covered bed, was a person. Chloe's heart dropped. Through the dirty glass, she could see the silhouette of a man sitting cross-legged facing the cab of the truck. He was wearing a dark hood, his head down. Terrified that a hitchhiker or an intruder had climbed into the Oh Jesus Christ climbed into the back while she was I keep saying Jesus Christ, and I feel like I'm offending people, so I'm so sorry about it.
SPEAKER_02They know what they're here for, they know what they're. Getting into.
SPEAKER_00I she was okay, hold on. Terrified the hitchhiker or an intruder climbed into the back while she was at a gas station. Chloe slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the gravel shoulder. Which I don't fucking I would never.
SPEAKER_02I would I would just keep going. I'd pull over right into the fucking police station.
SPEAKER_00Yes. Not not like some random place. Like you need to be somewhere.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah. People need to be there.
SPEAKER_00She kept her foot on the gas ready to pull and slowly turned her head to look directly through the back window. The truck bed was empty completely.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I'm fucking freaked. I'm like looking all around me right now.
SPEAKER_00And now I don't have anybody to back me up that there's no one behind me because my camera's off. Nope. There was nothing there but a few old bunchy cords and a plastic crate. Chloe let out a shaky breath, telling herself it was just the twilight reflecting off the glass. She pulled back onto the road and kept driving. And then he was in the passenger seat. Jesus, no. When a mom down the road, I would literally just let myself die. Like just really fucking I wouldn't actually. I had I feel like I had to clarify with our listeners that I I don't actually want like what. No, Megan's just dramatic. She doesn't mean that. I'm just so dramatic. It's unbelievable. Um let me see. I lost where I was. Oh, but a mile down the road, she looked in the rearview mirror again. He was back. Not only was he in in the back, but he was closer. His forehead. Oh my god, his horror. His whore. His forehead. His now pressed directly against the back of the the glass of the back window, staring into the cab. But here's the part that made Chloe freeze. His face didn't look like human flesh. She said it looked like digital static. Like the black and white buzz of an old television screen. Shifting and buzzing behind the glass. Nope. I'm telling you, like this fucking I don't know. Again, I don't know. These are just soup. I just looked up like super scary. I try to find the scariest things I could find for like good fucking job.
SPEAKER_02I have goosebumps on my toe.
SPEAKER_00So like this doesn't even sound like fully real to me, but I had to include it because it's fucking terrifying. So no, it's horrific. She didn't stop this.
SPEAKER_03And that's paranormal.
SPEAKER_00No shit. I hope she didn't. My god. She kept her eyes locked on the road, terrified to look back, but as she drove under a series of bright highway streetlights, she watched the shadow of her truck on the asphalt. In the driver's seat, there was a shadow of one person. Chloe. Jesus Christ. But in the shadow of the truck bed, casting a perfect silhouette against the concrete was the distinct shape of a second passenger sitting right behind her head.
SPEAKER_02Absu fucking lutely not. Next stop, Heaven. That's not Heaven.
SPEAKER_00I cannot imagine this. I would I don't know. Like I oh. The final story takes us to a modern 15-story apartment complex in Seattle. A resident named Julian lived on the fourth floor. One rainy evening, the building's elevator went out of service for maintenance. So Jolian took the heavy fire door into the concrete stairwell to walk down to the lobby. He opened the door, stepping onto the landing on the fourth floor, and began walking down. He reached the next landing, expecting to see the giant painted number three on the wall. Instead, the wall read floor four. Floor floor. Huh? Floor floor. Did I say that? Oh, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_03I'm very proud of you for not, though, because I would have.
SPEAKER_00That was like, oh damn it. Okay, Jolion paused. I don't know why it's so hard to say Julian. Like, I keep thinking Julian Pows. Pows. Jolian paused. He figured he just spaced out and hadn't actually walked down a level yet. Which I fucking do this. I do this all the time. I'm like, did I do it? Did I do it? He shook his head, walked down the night next flight of stairs, and the wall read floor four. Now he's obviously annoyed at this point, thinking someone had painted the wrong numbers during a recent building renovation. I'm glad that's what he thought because I love I was gonna say I love his optimism. So he decided to just keep walking until we hit the ground floor. He picked up his pace. He ran down three flights of stairs in a row without stopping. He stopped on a landing, breathing heavily, and looked at the wall. Floor four. That's literally purgatory.
SPEAKER_02Like this is purgatory.
SPEAKER_03Like I cannot.
SPEAKER_00I he's probably just high, but he's high as a kite.
SPEAKER_01Floor floor, floor, floor.
SPEAKER_00Floor floor, floor four. Because it is funny that it's floor four too, because it does sound like it's hard to say. Floor four. Like, what do you what do you always say? Like hi, hi, how are you? Hi, how how how high are you? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, a cop pulls you over and you're high as shit, and he goes, Um, how high are you?
SPEAKER_00And you're like, hi, how are you? Yeah. You always say that, and it's so funny. Uh, so okay, hold on. Panic began to set in, set in. Did I do this part already? Okay, hold on. Just go ahead and say it. Panic began to set in, Julian turned and decided to run up the stairs back to his own apartment door, which is, you know, valid.
SPEAKER_03Valid. Get to your safety. I would have already done that.
SPEAKER_00He ran up flight after flight, his chest burning, and footsteps echoing wildly in the concrete chamber. He ran up what he felt like was ten stories. He stopped. The wall read floor four. Oh my god. There were no windows. The fire doors to enter the actual apartment hallways were locked from the inside for security, and you could only exit through them from the hallways on the side, not the stairwell. He was trapped in a spatial loop. The universe had failed to load the rest of the building's geometry to the simulation. Julian was just at a pinpoint on the map that couldn't move.
SPEAKER_02I do not like that. That is the most unsettling I think I've heard. Well, the last one was pretty. They they progressively got worse.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, this one this one's bad. Um He sat there for what felt like two hours and then he heard a sound. The door the The elevator down the hall had finished its maintenance cycle. The moment the power snapped back on in the building, he heard a heavy click echo through the stairwell. He looked up at the wall. The number four had flickered. He stood up and walked down eight more steps and pushed out open the door at the bottom. He was standing at the lobby. The security guard looked up, greeting him normally, completely unaware that Julian had just spent two hours trapped in a single, repeated pocket of broken space.
SPEAKER_01How many two hours?
SPEAKER_00That's so fucking I mean, I don't know. I'm assuming that's what it said in the story, but like would you really think I would just do that? I mean, actually, what would you do? Because if you go up, you're on four floor, floor four. Four whatever. Yeah. Four, floor, flour, flour, flour, floor. Whether it's a sky that forgets too well be a sky, a restaurant that vanishes in a thin air, or a stairwell that traps you in an infinite loop. These accounts force us to ask a terrifying question. We want to believe that the ground beneath our feet is solid. We want to believe that the people we love are real and the time moves in a predictable straight line. But every now and then the universe blinks. Well, can it not? Yeah. Don't blink anymore. We don't want to be stuck on a four floor.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. No, I can't handle that. Like, I'm I'm spooky, right? Right? Don't. Oh, Megan, those were genuinely the most horrific I've ever heard. Whether they were real or not, I don't care. No, I know.
SPEAKER_00I was like, when I was like writing this out, I was like, I don't like, I feel like a lot of these are not real, to be honest. But because they were so creepy, but I'm like, it was worth it. And I was like, this is a fun, like our BIM episodes are fun ones, and I was like, I'll just throw it in here and we'll have fun. And you've done it.
SPEAKER_02Like, I I am fucking stressed. Those were very scary. I think, like, again, I already said they got progressively worse just because I can picture myself in those stories so vividly. But I think it was like glitch, glitch, paranormal, glitch. Like, I think they were all glitches, but that fucking third one with the truck, dude, like had to be a little bit more.
SPEAKER_00The truck one made me want to throw up. It was so strong. Especially because I think it's like it's a girl on her own.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00And I think that that is what really yeah, that that part really makes it like creepy.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god. And then like you're you're polling over. Girl, no. You gotta keep going. You can't do that. That's dangerous. Oh my gosh. No, good job. Those were very scary. Um I feel like mine are mild, so maybe everyone can sleep after mine.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, calm us down.
SPEAKER_02Okay, so the first story is called Glitch with a Person Who Disappeared. And it says, first of all, I am not a native English speaker, so forgive my English. I'm a very rational person, and I am thinking of this happening since it happened. I have been thinking of this happening since it happened. I talked to many people I know about it, and they all got goosebumps when I told the story. I'm still not sure what happened. A person disappeared two meters behind me. I was sitting at night on a bench between sorry, I saw a bug. I was sitting at night on a bench between two old cemeteries. Actually, it's one, but it's separated in two parts with a passageway through. No one is blueberried there. No, he didn't say that. No one is buried there. No one has been buried there for a long time. It's in the middle of a big German city. People go for a run or for a walk there, and I like being alone at night to not get bothered by people. So I don't think it's haunted or anything similar to that. The bench on which I sat is almost in the middle of the pathway, and I had a clear view on both endings. The area is quite bright because there are streetlights. Not very bright, but when you sit there for an hour, it's bright enough to not miss anything. So there is no place someone could hide without me noticing, and there are high walls on both sides. On both ends, there are streets with bright streetlights. The bench is on one side of the path, and the path is approximately two to four meters wide, and I was facing the northern part of the cemetery against the wall. But the path goes in front of me, so people have so people need to have to walk past me. I'm trying to like um make it um like a little bit more flowy as I go. So if I if I mess up, I'm sorry. On the right side, there is an area with grass that's relevant with table tennis plates and some more benches, and there's a fence with bushes. No one can come or leave without using the path. So I had to pee. And I always check if there's someone around so that I don't bother anyone. I checked both sides, no one was coming, so I stood up, went behind the bench I was sitting on, and walked like a meter to the wall to a tree with two stems like a V. I double checked if someone was coming, but nothing to see, nothing to hear, so I started peeing. And when I almost had finished, I saw through the two tree stems a dark person walking in the middle of the path toward me under not so bright streetlight. Nope. I thought oh my god, Lily just scared me. She was just like walking really slow under my desk and I didn't even know she was in here. I thought, okay, must have missed him, he just appeared, but I could have missed him. When I saw him, he was already on the path, about in the middle of it. From my bench to the street, it's probably like twenty to thirty meters. Could have been a quick walker, but that means I must have seen him earlier. I could not see much, no face, no bright hands, just a black figure. They could have had a darker skin color. I thought, okay, I have to go through this situation. I heard him walking, I clearly heard him walking towards me and coming closer. I finished peeing, adjusted my clothing, hearing him come closer so that he would pass me. I turned around, but purposely in the right direction he came from the left, from the bench's view from the right. I was standing with my I was standing with back of the bench oh yeah. I was standing with the back of the bench behind it, so that I don't have to interact with this person. I heard him while turning around, expecting him right in front of me, and there was no one. The sound of the steps were gone. I was shocked. I took a look around, the direction he was going to, nobody was there. I thought he might have turned around, but also no one. He couldn't have walked thirty meters in one second. Then I thought maybe I was misinterpreting the sounds, and he quickly went to his right side on the grass and go went to a bench there, so I took my very bright keychain flashlight and took a look around. I went to the grass area and there was no one. I looked behind every tree and found no one, watched both sides of the pathway, the ends on both sides are very bright and lit, and I looked at every possible location someone could have been hiding. There was no one. It happened a couple months ago, and I'm still trying to figure it out. Quite a long story, but the details are necessary to understand what happened. Maybe it was the glitch in the matrix, a rendering mistake because there were no details of this person, but he was definitely there. I don't think it was a ghost or something paranormal because I clearly heard him intensively walking on the small stones. So I'm still creepy. Yeah, I do think it could have been a ghost because you can hear footsteps with ghosts all the time. Yeah. But the what's creepy about it is that like he saw him between like a V shape. Like it was just like the perfect area for him to see this person, and that would freak me out really bad. Also, I don't know if you were there, but I'm gonna tell the story really quick because I like to embarrass myself. But one time when Tyler and I were just dating, we went to a gay bar and they were having like a drag queen show that night, and we were there with like a whole bunch of people. It was like Courtney, Tyler, you know, I don't even know. I thought you were there. I honestly don't know if you were, but I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00I don't go I didn't go in for those very often.
SPEAKER_02I was heavily drinking this night, and so was Tyler, but not like a whole bunch to where he couldn't drive, but we were sobering up anyway, it was like the end of the night, and I don't think we were the ones driving anyway, but I went outside because I had to pee so bad, and if you've been to this bar, like you know that the fucking women's restroom is so backed up, so I was like, Okay, I'm gonna go outside and pee. And I was like, Tyler, you have to keep watch. And so we went to like the back of the parking lot because there's like no trees in the city, like I couldn't just like go pee like near a tree or anything. And I was like, Okay, you have to keep watch. Like, this is like I have to pee so bad. He's like, Okay, yeah. Tyler was also drinking, so I squat down, and you know, whenever you drink, you pee for a really long time. I was peeing, and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, I hear, hello, and I look up and I see Tyler smiling and waving at somebody passing by. I'm just like Tyler! I was like, You're supposed to help me! He was like, Oh, I'm sorry. He was like, They came out of nowhere. I was like, You couldn't have even given me a warning. It was so funny. He was just drinking and he was just so nice. He's like, hi, oh, it was so funny.
SPEAKER_00Like, it's just like he's obviously not innocent. Like, he's not an innocent person, but he like he gives off like these like cute, like nice, innocent, like boy vibes. I don't know how to explain it. Like, he just like the dull, like genuine person.
SPEAKER_02Yes, because when I say that, I'm sure you can picture him going, I literally could.
SPEAKER_03I can see him just being like completely, you know, not even realizing that his future wife is squatting on the ground, just on the ground peeing, like and you're supposed to keep watch.
SPEAKER_02Like, I was so nervous to pee outside, but there was people everywhere, so like honestly, like I get it, but like he could have been like, hey, there's someone coming, but no, just completely zoned out and was saying hi to people. It's like, dude, you are the worst, like, watch person next time I'm getting my sister. But yeah, that's what it reminded me of because someone was peeing outside, so I just needed to tell that story. But I do think that one was a ghost, but who knows? Could have been both a glitch in the matrix and a ghosty ghostie.
SPEAKER_00Maybe it was a ghost glitch in in the matrix.
SPEAKER_02Um What if a ghost is a glitch? I was gonna try to combine that. Maybe it is, especially like residual, residual haunting ghosts. This next story is called My Brother Disappeared Behind Behind a Pillar. My family and I moved into the home we are still living in about ten years ago. It was newly constructed. I was in the process of transferring school, so I stayed home after registering into my new high school that morning. I was sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV, but then I heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs. I knew it had to be my brother because he always stomps down the stairs. I looked up towards the stairs and saw a glimpse of a red t-shirt and khaki shorts before the figure disappeared behind a pillar that blocked the last two bits of steps, if that makes sense. So I kept staring and I thought to myself, Did he just stop and go on the floor to try to crawl towards me to scare me? I then yelled out, I saw you. I waited several more seconds, stood up to see if he was still on the floor. No one. So I ran up the stairs and looked into my brother's room. There he was on his stomach, playing some type of game on his laptop with a red t-shirt and khaki shorts. Then I went to my mom's room to talk to her. Both of us now sat on her bed with my little sister. Just by sitting there, we can basically see anyone go down the stairs. Her door was right where the top of the stairs were on the second floor. I asked if she saw him go down the stairs at all, and she said no, he literally hasn't moved for a good few hours. Then I saw my brother come to us to say something and went downstairs stomping at all. I thought this was some kind of supernatural thing, but I then explained the story to a friend and she said something about glitches in the matrix. So now I'm here telling all of you my story. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or something paranormal. My answers would be great. Thanks for reading this post, but I had to be detailed detailed about it. And I know for a fact that this person knew that it was their brother. Because if you grow up in a house with siblings, you know everybody's fucking footsteps. You know dad, you know mom, you know, sister, you know your brother. Like, you know people's footsteps. So I feel like this definitely could have been a ghost situation, or even like it's it's possible it's a glitch too, but like I think it was a glitch if there's no other paranormal activity in the house. But if there were paranormal or was paranormal activity in that house, I do think it probably was that like a mimic of some sort, or like a trickster spirit being like, oh, like you know, hey, this is funny to me. So that would send me that would send me because you see them coming, but then you don't see them leaving, and it's like, I know for a fact I just saw you, and you're looking the whole time, but you don't see them return.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I don't like that. I have two more. This one is called Everyone disappeared, and I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't really know where to start with this. I'm gonna try to give every single detail I remember. It happened this morning, so it's not like it was that long ago. I've been looking up things online basically all day trying to find some sort of solution to this, but I really truly feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't find anything, and believe me, I've looked. The closest thing I could find was a link to a post from like three years ago in this subreddit that really had nothing to do with my problem, but I'm gonna tell the story here in hopes that someone can tell me what the hell happened. I don't really have a history of any prior mental health issues. I had ADHD as a kid and went through a small cycle of depression years back, but that's about it. I've always been a late riser. This whole corona situation has me working from home, so that allows me basically a sleep schedule of my choosing. When I woke up this morning, it was probably closer to noon, the family wasn't home. This isn't strange, as most of the time the old lady and the kids are off doing their own thing by the time I wake up. But when I went to go make my bagel, I saw that the back door was open. I thought maybe she had taken the kids out back to play, so I went to look but nobody was there. I kind of scoffed at her under my breath for leaving the door open. The bugs are pretty bad, and I closed it. But immediately after turning around after closing the door, I saw that across the living room the front door was also open. I could see through the wide open front door that both cars were in the driveway, so I went to go see if they were out front. Nope. This made me a bit nervous as both cars were in the driveway and both doors were left wide open. I started assuming the worst. Across the street I saw our neighbor's front door open as well. We were very close with our neighbors. The dad is a childhood friend of mine, and the kids have known each other since they were born. So I just walked over there and went in the front door thinking my family was probably over there. Nope, not a damn trace. Obviously at this point I started getting panicked. I couldn't find my family, all my doors were open, and my neighbor's house was in the exact same state. All of their cars were parked as well, and doors were open. I went to walk back across the street to get my phone, and I noticed the house next to mine had their front door wide open. And the house on the other side had their door wide open. This is when I lost my shit. I felt like I was in a goddamn horror movie or something. I looked down the street and every single front door I could see was open and not a damn soul could be found.
SPEAKER_00A dream. An ain rail.
SPEAKER_02I went I went back inside to my room to get my phone that was charging from the night prior, and as soon as I pull it off the charger and unlock it, I hear the front door open and my wife and kids muffled voices. I sprint to the kitchen to find my wife with bags of groceries in her hands. She just tells me to help her unload them. I ask her where the hell her and the kids have been and how they even went anywhere without taking the cars, and she looks at me like I'm stupid. She tells me she took her car and that she's been gone for like an hour. I explained to her the entire story, and she still looks at me like I'm stupid. Asks I'm sure it wasn't a dream. I am positive in bold. Positive I was not dreaming. Absolutely positive. She tells me she believes me and that we can look into it, but I can tell she doesn't really. Who can blame her? Typing all this and going back to read it, I sound like a fucking lunatic. But I don't know where else to be story or anyone who will really listen to me.
SPEAKER_00It literally sounds like a nightmare. Like that is sound that's like a parent nightmare.
SPEAKER_02He says, Yeah, I know. Oh my god, I can't. He says, I think I'm going crazy. At it, I spoke to my buddy across the street as well, and he said he and the Family had been home all day. There was clearly nobody there when I went inside to look for mine. I don't even fucking know what to think of this one. Except uh fuck that. That yeah, that's scary.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that one that one fucks me up. Like as a parent, like, well, you know. Like you I know you don't have one running around your feet right now, but you know, as soon as you're pregnant, you're like, well, you know, because of the nephews and niece.
SPEAKER_03So yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But it is it's so scary, like um. You know, just I don't know. I don't know how to explain it.
SPEAKER_02It's just not knowing where your kids are, it's like box two on top of the page. Yeah, because they're your safe space. Like there be missing kids.
SPEAKER_00You're just praying and hoping the kids are with them and that they're okay.
SPEAKER_02Yes. I feel like that definitely has to be a glitch in the matrix. Like everybody's fucking door open. Like, are you kidding me? Like, did the did time just not catch up? Like, was it just like, oh, gotta reset for the day, make sure all the Sims doors are open, then we gotta close them all, make sure everyone's bladders are full so that they can wake up and pee. Like, it's just like what happened there? And it's scary. I don't I don't like that. I feel bad for that guy because he probably still fucking thinks about it. Last one. This one is a little lengthy, but worth it. It's called Glitch in the Matrix or Quantum Immortality. This happened 24 years ago in the in the year 1999, which is a little more than 24 years ago. I completely forgot about this incident until I read a Reddit post very similar to my own experience, and it jogged my memory. This would be a long story, but I would really appreciate your comments as to what actually happened that day. To those of you who read till the end, I thank you in advance. I was home from college for the summer visiting my family. One day I asked my mom to borrow her car so I can go visit my friends who stayed at the dorm during summer vacation. She said I can have it, but I need to be home before 10 a.m. the next morning because she needs the car that day. My college was about an hour's drive from my house on a good day. Some friends of mine would make it in 45 minutes. The fastest driving time I ever heard of was 35 minutes, late at night, no traffic, driving like the wind. I got to my friend's house, our dorm residence, in the early evening, and we decided to drive down to the nearby casino, about a 30 minutes drive to pass the night. We were a group of We were a group of about five, two of my roommates, two other friends from our dorm, and I. We had a great time playing on the quarter slot machines. Once we were all tired, it's so funny, I'm gonna cut this out maybe, but it's so funny seeing how other people have fun and spend their time because I would not have a good time doing that. Like, it's just adorable.
SPEAKER_00Humans I know, I was talking to Dylan about that recently, like how I well like I'm trying to think of the way to phrase like like even Dylan and I, we have fun in different ways. Like, like he loves like yeah, I don't know, like creating and making media stuff. And I know we're taking things apart. And I know we're doing like a podcast and it is kind of creative, like it is a creative outlet, but it's not like like I'm not sitting there like making posts and stuff like I'm you know what I mean. It's like more in-depth, like his stuff is like really in in-depth with it, and and I'm I want to read a book. Like like if I'm choosing what I'm doing, it's reading a book. So, but go ahead, sorry.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's like we're diving into like other people's creations instead of doing our own sometimes. Okay. Back to the story. Once we were all tired and we were ready to leave, we headed to the lobby doors and realized it's early morning, around 5 a.m. and it's pouring rain. It was raining so hard we could barely see the first row of parked cars just in front of the lobby. We waited for about 30 minutes or so for the rain to slow to a drizzle so we could drive home and made the 30-minute drive without any incidents. When we got to the dorm, it was around 6 a.m. and the rain was pouring down again, so I resolved to wait it out as long as I could. I still had to return the car to my mom, and I had at least an hour's drive, if not longer, due to the weather. Which I would be so pissed at my kid if they fucking stayed up so late just to get the car back to me because I said that it was it had to be there at a certain time. Like, you need to be responsible. Go to bed, don't drive tired, don't do that shit.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Dylan didn't crash his fucking car into a cornfield one time, fell asleep while he was driving. He was a teenager, like Yeah. His parents his parents caught like a phone call at like 3 a.m. Like you know what I mean? He I don't I think he was like 18 when it happened.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'd be furious if my kid did that. I'd be like, no.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I would be too. I would be pissed if I did that. Like I don't do that. When I left the dorm, it was 7 a.m. One of my roommates stayed up with me until I left, and we both noted the time as I was leaving. I got to my car a few minutes later and started driving towards the highway. I was really tired since we basically pulled an al nighter at the casino, but I had to drive home to return the car to my mom. I do not recommend driving tired. I told myself I'll be fine. Uh they said that. I told myself I'll be fine. I cranked up the radio to my favorite station, lit a cigarette, opened the window for some fresh air, and so off I went. Again, please do not drive while tired. Within ten minutes or so, as I'm driving on the highway, the rain starts pouring again. It was so bad I could barely see the wipers of my car. They were at the fastest setting, and it's like they weren't doing anything. But the rain was kind of hypnotizing. The rhythm sort of whoa. The rhythm sort of started lulling me to sleep, but I didn't really notice. My blinks kept getting slower and slower. What happened next was in the span of about three to five seconds, not more. It's kind of hard to explain. I was awake one moment, sort of. And the next my consciousness wakes up to wakes up to darkness. Kind of like when you wake up in the morning but you haven't opened your eyes yet, and you're slowly starting to be aware of your surroundings. How comfortable and warm you are in your bed, etc. That's basically what happened. I'm aware of being awake, but it's dark. I don't even notice my eyes are closed. I'm comfortable, but I seem to be in a sitting position. My hands are holding on to something, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. I'm just really comfortable and I don't want it to change. I keep thinking, just five more minutes. I don't know for how long my eyes were actually closed. Suddenly I hear a really loud crash. Almost sounded like a clap, but unlike anything I've ever heard before. It sounded like metal on metal, but I wasn't sure. It got me to open my eyes, and the first thing I notice is that I'm in my car, and all I see from the window is a wave of water heading towards my windshield really fast. When I hit the windshield of the car, it sounded like the glass should have broken from the impact. It was the loudest slap sound I've ever heard, before or since. I'm in momentary shock as I take in my surroundings. I'm still in my car, driving perfectly straight in the leftmost lane. On my left is a concrete barrier just a couple of feet away. On my right I was just overtaken by a huge eighteen wheeler truck. That is what made the wave slap on my windshield. Heart pounding, I rubbed my eyes and forced them open as far as they would go, determined to stay awake. I turned the music ladder and opened the window to let the rain hit me in the face along with some much needed fresh air. The entire time I was thinking, holy shit, I could have died. I probably should have died. Then another thought hit me. What the fuck was the first loud crash I heard? The time elapsed between the first and second claps was about one second, me hearing the loud clap opening my eyes to this wave that crashed into the window with another but different sounding loud clap. But this wasn't the craziest part yet. Since the rain was very strong, I wasn't driving more than fifty to sixty kilometers an hour, which I'm assuming is miles per hour. As opposed to the usual one hundred. This means that the trip would have taken twice as long as it normally would. I figured I should be home by nine AM at the latest. The rest of the drive was uneventful when I made it to my building, drove into the very large garage and all the way to the back of my parents' parking lot. Then I walked back around to the elevators by the entrance and took the elevator to the nineteenth floor. Walked down a long hallway to my apartment, went into my room and crashed on the bed. Right before I passed out from fatigue and probably shock, I remembered to send my roommate a text message to let her know I had made it home safely. I was so tired I didn't even check what time it was. I just crashed. I woke up to a bunch of messages from my roommate, I didn't remember them verbatim, but they were something like what? No way, you must be joking. Where are you? Hello. How did you get home so fast? There's no way you're already home. Are you okay? It takes me a while to figure out what she's talking about, while remembering my harrowing journey from the morning because it was then that I noticed the time of the text that I had sent her before I went to sleep. It was showing 720 AM. There is no way that it's possible to travel around ninety kilometers in a span of twenty minutes in a rainstorm where you can't even see the lane lines on the road or even the hood of your car while trying desperately not to fall asleep and apparently failing at that. I don't know what to make of this. After reading a whole bunch of other stories on the subreddit, I'm pretty sure that it may have either been a case of quantum immortality or a glitch in the matrix. However, ever since that day I have been experiencing all kinds of paranormal phenomena throughout the years. I'm pretty sure this was the catalyst event of them all. Sorry, did you hear that? My cats are going crazy.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I it did I was trying to unmute my mic. Um that scared the shit out of me.
SPEAKER_02Cause like Lily sounds like demonic when she does that shit. Okay. Um I'm pretty sure this was the catalyst events of them all. Well, except all for one. I'll tell you about it in another post if requested. Anyway, sorry for the length of the story. I just wanted to write down as many details as I can to remember to share with you all. This memory is now s oh yeah. This memory is now so clear as if it happened yesterday. I will never forget it. Thanks for listening. Um yeah, I fully believe this person probably died or time shifted or something. Like that's That's what I was thinking too. You fell asleep while driving on a highway in the rain. You probably died. And you just remember your like you lucked out. You're still here somehow.
SPEAKER_00That's so creepy. One other one. So creepy.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah. Yeah, that one definitely was I thought it was worth sharing because I was like, that's a little bit long, but really fun. We gotta pin the wheel! Woohoo! Okay, are you you're spinning? Hold on. You betcha. Okay. This is the new wheel. This is my first time spinning it and go. Fuck, we passed it. Ooh, font. Wait, what is it? I hate when it does that in the middle of the house. I thought it was the other haunt, I thought it was ghost ships, but Okay, so we got haunted houses. So we can I'm not gonna do it. We can do whatever we want. So, like, we can just look up um What if I do your house? Okay, let me know what you find. Um, I do know somebody fell down the stairs in the basement, hit their head, bled, and died in the hospital. But they didn't die here. Yeah. Yeah. Make sure to tune in next week.
