Episode 50: Spies Just Wanna Have Fun!
That shadowy organization pulling strings behind the scenes? Turns out they might be more like high school pranksters with unlimited government funding than sophisticated spies from your favorite thriller.
The CIA's recently declassified operations reveal an intelligence agency that once hatched a plan to drop extra-large condoms labeled "small" over communist countries to destroy male morale during the Cold War. Because nothing says psychological warfare like making your enemies feel inadequate about their manhood while American men supposedly strutted around with Magnum-sized confidence.
But wait, it gets stranger. Remember Osama bin Laden? The agency commissioned the creator of GI Joe to design action figures with faces that would peel off in sunlight to reveal demonic red skin and green eyes. The plan was to distribute these terrifying toys to children across the Middle East. Only three prototypes were ever made, but the fact this idea made it past a brainstorming session tells you everything you need to know about CIA creativity.
Sexual blackmail was another favorite tactic. The agency produced pornographic films with actors impersonating foreign leaders, including one called "Happy Days" showing President Sukarno of India. The plan hilariously backfired when Sukarno was reportedly impressed with how the film portrayed his sexual prowess. Other ventures included remote-controlled dogs with devices implanted in their skulls, testing psychics who claimed to bend spoons with their minds, and of course, the infamous MK Ultra mind control experiments.
These bizarre operations raise important questions about government transparency and what exactly our intelligence agencies are doing with taxpayer money. Are today's classified operations equally ridiculous, or have they evolved into something more sophisticated? Subscribe to hear more strange-but-true stories that make you question everything you thought you knew about how power really works.

Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 3:All right, well, we have an interesting it's a longer story about the CIA, the. Cia yes, the Central Intelligence Agency, we're going to get into that.
Speaker 1:They do exist, right, they do Okay.
Speaker 3:They're actually everywhere.
Speaker 1:I don't know that.
Speaker 3:They exist and not exist.
Speaker 1:Are they like Mr Smith in the Matrix? Yeah, they're like nowhere, but everywhere at the same time. Yep.
Speaker 2:Okay, kind of scary, yeah Kind of scary, but don't worry, she looked terrified.
Speaker 1:Thank God for that, just like a bunch of women. Yes, it was pretty amazing. That was real.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was so horrible, I thought it was fake. I did too.
Speaker 3:They acted like they were at a Nashville bachelorette party. They were driving the bicycle where you have to bike to drink.
Speaker 1:You have to pedal it to keep it going. Oh my Lord.
Speaker 3:And then Katy Perry was like yeah, I love astronomy, astrology all the stars. She actually said that Astrology.
Speaker 2:Anyway, it doesn't matter and she was French kissing the ground. When she got back I saw that she was French kissing the ground.
Speaker 1:Well, she was kissing the ground yeah, okay Well, was it with or without tongue? Was it in French?
Speaker 3:I think, it was.
Speaker 1:I would say that's more like Ozzy Osbourne?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it wasn't. I don't think it was full tongue on Mother Earth. No, yeah, they spent a total of two minutes up in space and they did say I respect Mother Earth more now. And it only cost $11 million total.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, million dollars total. Oh wow, yeah, it was really great and it was only like a hundred million carbon footprints.
Speaker 2:350 000 feet in the air, 10 times what a normal flight goes.
Speaker 3:That's insane it's crazy wow, pretty cool I mean?
Speaker 1:does that just mean that, like, because sometimes when I'm in a plane and it's going higher and higher and then I'm like, oh, it's gone high enough and they're? Like no, we still have another 20 000 feet to climb. Yeah, seriously, it's gone high enough.
Speaker 3:And they're like no, we still have another 20,000 feet to climb.
Speaker 1:Yeah, seriously, it's like that, but for like 11 minutes, I guess because that's what they did.
Speaker 3:I don't even know why they tell us that. What does that mean to me? What is 20,000 feet?
Speaker 1:What is 20,000? All.
Speaker 3:I know is if I'm off the ground or on the ground.
Speaker 1:No, like I said, it is something, especially when I jumped off a plane and went skydiving you did that I did that once. I did it multiple times, yeah, no, out of control, and that was definitely one of those times where I was like hey, I feel like we're high enough and they're like oh no, we have a couple thousand feet to climb still, and I'm like no, I can't tell the measurements.
Speaker 3:Db Coopers, yeah, that's amazing. Well, let's go to our first story. It involves heights and your favorite Jerry cats. Ooh, yes, my faves. A cat was stuck up in a tree 20 feet high for nine days.
Speaker 1:Oh, Wait why?
Speaker 3:Because it's a cat.
Speaker 1:The cat. It could have climbed down, jumped down.
Speaker 3:It's a Maine Coon Snowy. It's a scaredy cat.
Speaker 1:It has no excuse. Yeah, what Kyle said, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's a big cat. So its owner, raza Aoub, 36 years old, it says that his cat jumped into the neighbor's car and was taken on a trip by accident. And then he shows up and then they're like whoa, what's this cat doing here? And the cats are like you're not my dad. And then he ran into the woods seeking refuge up a tree.
Speaker 1:Aw, that's so sad.
Speaker 3:Yes, it was so they stole a cat. No, the cat jumped into their car, allegedly Raza and his daughter Ayla she's nine. They were like, oh my God, where's our cat? So they went to Facebook, as one does. They put up around 50 posters as well. So eventually a local saw Snowy up in a tree. Snowy, yes, but the feline refused to come down. So he was helped to the ground by a tree surgeon.
Speaker 1:Firefighter.
Speaker 3:No a tree surgeon.
Speaker 1:Is that another word for firefighter?
Speaker 3:It's someone who goes in. Does maybe a prostate exam on a tree makes sure the milk is coming out well, maybe does a little honk-honk on the tree boobs.
Speaker 1:Asks if it's a cough.
Speaker 3:Yes, turn your head and please, cough tree.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 3:The family thinks it may have gone up the tree for up to nine days. Wow, yes, raza he's a mortgage advisor. He says we were euphoric. We just wanted to sit at home and cuddle her all the time.
Speaker 1:You said he's a mortgage advisor.
Speaker 2:He does mortgages.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Well, that sounds like a real thing. A tree surgeon is just a landscaper.
Speaker 3:No, it's a tree surgeon.
Speaker 1:Tree surgeon.
Speaker 3:Scalpel.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Doctor, doctor but is that just for cosmetic reasons?
Speaker 3:I think that it is a little bit bloviating. Yeah, no, I don't just hump trees, I'm a tree surgeon.
Speaker 1:I got my new little tree-tree-el going on.
Speaker 3:Snowy's family noticed she was missing when they got up for their Ramadan meal at 4 am.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:So I think, because Ramadan you can't eat during the daylight. I believe yeah, so you got to get it in.
Speaker 1:You got to get it in when the get-in's good.
Speaker 3:Which, now that I think about, it.
Speaker 1:I might be Muslim. I eat mostly Full diet in the dark.
Speaker 3:Yes, Eating in the daylight. That's where all the calories are, it's true.
Speaker 1:It's very true. All I do during the daytime is drink coffee and these electrolytes.
Speaker 2:Yes, so Ramadan is just essentially going goblin mode.
Speaker 3:You go goblin mode. Yeah, it's reverse gizmo from yes, from, of course Gremlins, gremlins. Yes, so she was spotted later. There was a tip.
Speaker 1:Why didn't the people that accidentally took this cat on a joyride, why didn't they immediately tell their neighbors?
Speaker 3:I don't know if they knew who the cat belonged to.
Speaker 1:Oh, so she was spotted at the tip two days later and Raza spent days walking around at night shouting her name, so he probably just looks all crazy. That's a very expensive looking cat man, Maine Coon yeah, I would have lost my shit too.
Speaker 3:Also you just wonder, like why is this guy wandering our village yelling snowy Right, maybe he's high off of cocaine.
Speaker 1:Right Like dude, you finished the bag yesterday.
Speaker 3:Well, it's interesting because the police actually stopped him once at 4 am. So Raza was going around the neighborhood be like Snowy, snowy. And then the cops were like sir, what are you doing, like shut up?
Speaker 1:But I'm looking for something.
Speaker 3:The cops said no, you're not a burglar. And do you know why they knew he wasn't a burglar?
Speaker 2:Because he was announcing himself very loudly Because he was like I'm in mortgages.
Speaker 3:No, because in his bag he had cat treats. That's what they said the cops were like oh, it's catnip.
Speaker 1:I swear it's catnip yeah.
Speaker 3:Cops were like no way, you're a burglar, he's got cat treats Right, so that got him off. The cat was found up a tree. After five hours of coaxing, the family found an animal-loving tree surgeon on check-a-trade.
Speaker 1:What's a tree surgeon? What is exact Google tree surgeon?
Speaker 3:They found him A tree surgeon. A tree surgeon. They found it on check-a-trade. On what Check-a-trade?
Speaker 2:Like a trade, you Google tree surgeon. It comes up landscapers and tree care. Well, like a trade, you Google tree surgeon it comes up landscapers and tree care.
Speaker 3:Well, they're calling him a tree surgeon. Certified arborists.
Speaker 1:Not an arborist.
Speaker 3:Arbor Day, one of the better holidays out there that no one seems to celebrate. We have to love our trees. That's true, raza says we were all in tears clapping when he got safely down. It was so overwhelming to know we would be taking care, we would be taking her home again at last.
Speaker 1:Okay. Well, how does it feel to know that you raised your giant, wild, almost wild cat to be a total puss? Why? Because he just stayed in a tree for nine days long. My cat better fend for himself a little bit better than that.
Speaker 3:Well, he had to live for nine days, so he must have had some water, maybe ate a couple of mice something like that.
Speaker 2:It's a stereotype of cats that they get stuck in the tree and then the firefighter has to come get them.
Speaker 3:No, that's not a stereotype. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1:That's a cat stereotype that they get stuck in a tree. I think it's a stereotype. They do it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, sometimes they just fall and then they seem to live.
Speaker 1:And they always land on their feet. Except my cat would not land on his feet because he doesn't have whiskers. Why not Because he's hairless, oh yeah, so he has like really bad balance for a cat.
Speaker 3:I told you my brother, my gay brother. He used to trim his cat's whiskers because he wanted to make him look better.
Speaker 1:Fur looked better, but it was very painful. No, that's not good. That's not good at all.
Speaker 3:That cat's name was Charcoal. It was always walking, all weird.
Speaker 1:That sucks because probably his face was constantly hurting and stinging from getting his whiskers cut. And then Chris was like just a little snip here and here You're a pretty cat now no, my cat, just he doesn't have. He has like the little, like holes where they're supposed to be, but he doesn't grow whiskers. Wow, and he just walks away and then he hits his head on walls. It's hilarious. That's kind of funny, it is.
Speaker 3:Well, speaking of bodies, this is interesting. We have mentioned the show, the movie Wild Things before. Wild Things have mentioned the show the movie Wild Things before Wild Things. Ah, yes, yes, starring Kevin Bacon, mr Dillon and then Nev Campbell, denise Richards steamy stuff, ooh very. This story is kind of weird in that it's Kevin Bacon giving an interview and he just randomly says something that I think should be taken slightly more serious.
Speaker 1:Oh really, What'd he say?
Speaker 3:So he was talking, he was doing a video testimony and he was talking about the memory of filming this movie. He was speaking with Variety and he says we were at the swamp one night. A lot of mosquitoes, wow, you know, we were shooting some scene. I don't remember what it was, but it was kind of a river. And then he just sort of says they had floated a raft out there so that they could put up a light. And then he says all of a sudden I hear across the walkie-talkie hey, I think we just saw a floater, what? But not like a poop, like a person, like a body. And then he says and it was a body that was floating by. Then he just goes on to say it was kind of indicative of the vibe of the movie. So no one knows who this guy was.
Speaker 1:He just casually said that it's weird how that kind of just matched the vibe of the movie it was like oh wow, nice.
Speaker 3:It's a random body was floating by and there's no. They just sent like a PA to go scoop it out.
Speaker 1:There was no investigation about it. They didn't know who it was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, no one cared.
Speaker 1:No one even cared.
Speaker 3:They're just like you're in the shot floating bloated body. Can you please get out of here? And then the bloated body is like is this going to go on my?
Speaker 1:IMDB yeah, they're like only if you sign this NDA.
Speaker 3:So they say all of a sudden yes, the walkie talkie, hey, we got ourselves a floater. And then that's how the movie was. And then he goes on to really explain the plot, which I actually didn't realize. So it co-starred Matt Dillon, and did you know this? He was attempting to pull off an extortion scheme with high schoolers played by Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. Did you know they were in high school?
Speaker 1:I did not know they were in high school. I did not know they were in high school. No, that's extremely uncomfortable to know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so they had to be like 16. I don't like that at all. They were not 16 in that scene, they were full grown women. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:I don't like this anymore. Wait what they were in high school? They can't take that from me.
Speaker 3:They can't take wild things from me like 90s, so they say under the nose of Bacon's police detective character. So Matt Dillon is trying to pull off an extortion theme and then in the third act it's revealed that Dillon and Bacon they were in cahoots together.
Speaker 1:Oh no, cahoots for what?
Speaker 3:For the extortion theme of these two high schoolers that they all had sex with in a pool, even though now that I realize it really the leverage is with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards, because they can just be like, hey, you fucked two underage chicks in a pool, yeah pedophiles yeah, yeah, totally. I guess they weren't thinking clearly. So anyway, when it comes to the floating body, they say we called the police and they actually grabbed the body and kept it from getting into our shot.
Speaker 2:Oh well, thank God for that.
Speaker 1:Just slapping it with a paddle we weren't even that much out of our schedule with production.
Speaker 3:You're not getting any SAG credits for this pal. Get out of here you body that's floating around a random river that no one seems to give a flying fuck about. It was never identified.
Speaker 2:No, oh my God, we gotta cover this on Death and Entertainment too. There's been multiple bodies that have been found on sets and stuff. They just very creepy.
Speaker 1:Scoop them up, multiple bodies that are just found on sets. This would ruin my entire day. Did this not ruin everyone's entire day on set?
Speaker 3:It didn't even ruin the shoot.
Speaker 1:It was literally just like well, that's very indicative of the shoot that we're doing right now. Like what?
Speaker 2:There that we're doing right now, like what, there was one guy in like the 40s and 50s. His name was Elmer McCurdy and he was in a museum but he was an actual dead body covered in wax and they didn't know there was a real dead body under there. He was in like the Andy Griffith show, like a million movies and TV things, before they realized there was an actual dead person inside it.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, is that that thing that you just body? Oh my God, that's so creepy. I do love that house of wax. Oh wow, it's so nuts. They used to just drip wax over the actual bodies of people. Well then, maybe they would have gotten Just him.
Speaker 2:They put him in like a museum and they didn't realize it was an actual person after that I mean remember when they did Beyonce, that was really bad.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Sometimes the wax museums don't really do it very well.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, wow. So anyway, kevin Bacon does say when it came to Wild Things, when he first picked up the script he thought, oh, this is trash. But then every few pages he kept on discovering what he says seemed like another surprise. So he's like it's really bad. But he's like, oh, there's a surprise, it's really bad. Oh, there's a surprise, so that's why he did it.
Speaker 1:And then, in no way was it because he got to have fake sex with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards, because it was a surprise.
Speaker 3:Wild Things did earn 30 million dollars in its theatrical run. That's not good.
Speaker 2:Why not?
Speaker 3:How much did it cost to?
Speaker 2:make it probably cost like 10.
Speaker 3:I mean, the body clean up alone Is going to be a couple thousand.
Speaker 1:But it shouldn't be that much.
Speaker 2:The budget was 20, so it made 10, it's like 10. I mean the body cleanup alone is going to be a couple thousand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it shouldn't be that much. The budget was 20. Okay, they made 10. Yeah, so it made 10.
Speaker 3:Well, I guess you usually do want to make double.
Speaker 1:There's literally one scene with them in the pool and it becomes the cover of the movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dvd sales probably went through the roof. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I really didn't realize they were supposed to be in high school. That does it plays into why I always felt like I was so young looking in high school, because all the actors that played high schoolers were 45. Yeah, yeah, you know, speaking of old looking before we get to our CIA tale, there was a fella. His name is Ian Stanley Wagner.
Speaker 1:Okay, ian Stanley Wagner. Ian Stanley Wagner.
Speaker 3:Now this is the Minnesota version of Luigi Mangione.
Speaker 1:No, it's not.
Speaker 3:Okay, he has a mustache and a beard and it doesn't connect, but it's trying and it's thinking about it. He has a lot of acting on his face. Yes, he does. Why is he related to Luigi Mangione? Because he was arrested at the United Healthcare Campus with a gun. Oh snap, but he didn't kill anyone. Also, if he did kill someone, again, luigi Mangione people. This is going to be further evidence that people don't really care about the cause. They care about him because he's so handsome.
Speaker 3:Yes, oh, definitely definitely yeah because this guy's real ugly right yeah, yeah, throw this guy away and no one cares about him. No, even though technically he was trying to send the same message that luigi said, which is our health care system is broken well, he's not going to get.
Speaker 1:Is he gonna even get any charges or anything?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, oh yeah, why he?
Speaker 1:didn't shoot anyone.
Speaker 2:He threatened it.
Speaker 3:Look at that head. You charge that head. It's all wrong, it's all big on the top and then it kind of goes down, but then it's still sort of big on the bottom there too.
Speaker 2:But none of it makes sense. Big nose, bulbous.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's unfortunate. So law enforcement, they tell us Ian Stanley Wagner. He was busted Monday outside of the UnitedHealthcare HQ and he's been booked for allegedly making threats of violence. This all took place in a place called Minnetonka. Yes, Minnetonkas. Minnetonka Minnesota. Minnetonka Minnesota.
Speaker 1:Minnetonkas and my mini sodas.
Speaker 3:Yes, the FBI Minneapolis field office on Monday morning had issued say that he had issued threats of violence directed at the United Healthcare Facility if specific demands were not met.
Speaker 1:He tried to make demands.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well see, that's your problem right there. We just knew he wasn't going to get anywhere with demands.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know if anyone. Do you ever get the demand?
Speaker 1:No, has anyone ever won the demand? Yeah, has anyone ever gotten it?
Speaker 3:Because I mean I'll do it. If it worked, I'd do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But I just feel like they kind of laugh at you and they're like yeah, buddy, we'll give you a million dollars in unmarked bills. And there's a helicopter on the roof Right. And then they just beat the hell out of you pants you and do something horrible to your butt.
Speaker 1:Show up at midnight. Come with no one except the briefcase you all lied to me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was like wait, you were supposed to come alone it's like when btk was like hey, you guys can't trace a floppy disk, can you? No, totally not dude definitely not find, torture, kill.
Speaker 2:He's still upset with the police for lying you guys lied to me, they lied to him wow.
Speaker 3:So the feds say there is currently no indication that the individual had specific grievances against UnitedHealthcare. That's notable, of course, because Brian Thompson, who was killed by Mangione. Mangione has a personal feud with them, so I'm not exactly sure why he chose this. The FBI. They sent in a crisis negotiator who talked to Wagner over the phone, which that must be nice. Why? Because they're forced to speak with you. They're getting paid. They want to understand why you're there, what you're doing. They're really just a therapist on steroids, a crisis negotiator.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's, so true, yeah it'd be comforting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Everything's going to be fine. Just put the gun down. Pull your pants back up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's going to be all right. Yeah, and it won't be, definitely not.
Speaker 3:Like it's going to be real bad for him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you won't make it worse.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So he says, he says I got a gun, and then he says I want $1 million. No, he doesn't.
Speaker 1:That's what he said. He demanded $1 million. Okay, Dr Evil, yes, which is really do you get taxed on that Do? You get taxed on the case On ransom Actually today on TurboTaxcom. They were like did you collect any ransom over the last year? And if you did, show us, take a picture of your ransom note? You can actually press this QR code, upload it right here. Certified We'll tax that.
Speaker 3:It is tax season yeah. It's a really stupid amount of money.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 3:Like $1 million.
Speaker 1:It's like not even specific, like he doesn't know what he would do with that $1 million. I don't even I mean in Minnetonka money you can get a lot.
Speaker 3:Our lives. Money that's, you can get a lot.
Speaker 1:Our lives, our troubles are over man, you can get custard donuts, yeah, pizza schnozberries, yeah, other minnesota treats.
Speaker 3:I don't know what exactly, but fatty foods. Deep fried brats, yeah, a lot of cheese.
Speaker 2:No, that's wisconsin I know, but I've been to minnetonka and they do have a lot of deep fried cheese they. They're just stealing your shit. I know what they're doing.
Speaker 3:I know what they're doing. So he's like I've got a gun, Give me a million dollars. But everyone has a gun. It's America, that's true. And then he says I won't be taken alive.
Speaker 1:But he was. But he was taken alive, wasn't?
Speaker 2:he, yeah, they let him take him alive. You can't say that and let it happen.
Speaker 1:You won't take me alive, like do not harm the idiot, just take them alive, all right, maybe you will Fine.
Speaker 3:Can I get 10 bucks? You weren't supposed to.
Speaker 2:They're very finicky people over there. We got kicked out of a bar in Minnetonka for saying the F word during an NFL Monday night football game.
Speaker 3:What. We don't talk that way here, pal. Oh my God, what? Yeah, oh my God, the only F word we use is gay slurs. Yeah, come on. Yeah, I was out there on tour a couple years back and this dude I was with smoked a joint in a room and they kicked him out. So yeah, they're very, they're people, they're strange. Yeah, that's why I will take my Wisconsin people, because they're not as uptight as Minnesota people, because Minnesota people think they're a real state. You know, wisconsin's like no one cares, yeah, we don't even care Right, they're just very humble.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're just here for the cheese In Minnesota. If you go to Minneapolis, they'll be like it's New York, los Angeles, and then it's about the Twin.
Speaker 3:Cities and it's like no one. No one thinks St Louis is bigger. So the cops say they recovered a firearm from his car. The incident did result in a massive police response to the UnitedHealthcare headquarters. So anyway, he's just going to be a nothing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what an idiot that sucks he's gonna be in jail for the same amount of time for doing nothing for doing nothing, yeah yeah, well, it's because he lied, he was taken alive.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, you gotta first mistake.
Speaker 2:Come on now. He's gonna get three hots in the car for the rest of his life?
Speaker 1:did he even write anything on his bullets?
Speaker 3:no yeah exactly what the hell. I don't think he was very serious about it. Doesn't seem like he was. He kind of looks like Pennywise a little bit with that big fucking weird head.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I guess the shape of his head. Yeah, yeah yeah, he does look like a light bulb.
Speaker 3:Real greasy hair. Like a cartoon that swallowed a light bulb, and then his head just turns into that shape. Cool, yeah, you need a banana, giant banana. Well, speaking of weird heads, this is a bit of a science story it is it's a bit of a medical story. Oh no, astronomy, astrology oh right, yes so a decapitated woman's head has been reattached. It's not quite as fun as you might think. What it's not quite as fun.
Speaker 1:Like what is like. The guillotine went all the way through like, but just right before that, like the last, like inch, they were like no, no, no wait, we got the wrong person. We can sew this thing back up.
Speaker 3:We can sew it back up. Sew it back up. Yeah, no. So what happened? Was her skull separated from her spine?
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 3:They say it was a freak accident.
Speaker 1:Oh no. What was the accident?
Speaker 3:Something where that happened right Gym class it was.
Speaker 1:Gym class.
Speaker 3:Yeah, gym class. Yeah, she was playing a soccer game in gym class.
Speaker 1:That's true. This is why I never participated in PE. I didn't run the mile, I didn't do anything. I was like come on, coach, you know I'm not going to run this.
Speaker 3:I don't know how the hell she did this. I don't know how you break. I don't know how you separate. Anyway, I'm not blaming her.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, she was playing a soccer game in gym class when she fell leaping for a ball, so it injured her right ankle and spine and it tore the muscles off both of her shoulder blades.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3:So that is a day.
Speaker 1:She needs milk. Jesus Christ, yeah, like what vitamins they just all just got clean off sliced from a fall.
Speaker 2:Drinking soda all day.
Speaker 3:Leaping for a ball. If you're the gym teacher, you're like what the hell? Yeah, like we're playing soccer. How did she have her muscle off of both of her shoulder blades ripped off? Ouch, it's unique. That happened when she was 16 years old. She's now 35. Holy shit, oh wow, that happened when she was 16 years old.
Speaker 1:She's now 35. Holy shit, oh wow, so that was a while ago, she had 22 surgeries, oh my God.
Speaker 3:However, her condition got worse and worse and worse.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 3:She had a genetic kinetic tissue disorder that disrupts the body's production of collagen, leading to a joint instability. Okay, that makes sense now, Right? So a year after the diagnosis, King's neck just became dislocated it just fell off.
Speaker 2:It just fell off the bone like a nice rip, but there was still skin but there's skin around it.
Speaker 1:So like one day she was just like whoa, yeah Head just like rolled off, but it's still like hanging there. I swear to God I'd lose. She tries to like put it on, but it's still hanging there. I swear to God I'd lose. She tries to put it on, but it's still just falling over.
Speaker 3:I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached. Well, we have bad news.
Speaker 1:It's currently not, it's kind of not attached right now, did you guys feel that oh?
Speaker 3:my God, that's terrible. To make this matter worse again, just a 16-year-old gym class, A 16-year-old in gym class. You never know what days are going to bring.
Speaker 1:Yeah, seriously, I mean, as a gym teacher you got to ask does anyone have any tissue connectivity problems in their bodies before you start playing this sport?
Speaker 3:I don't think she knew.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 3:So because her neck fell off of her body.
Speaker 1:Her head.
Speaker 3:Yes, Her head. Yes, her head fell off of her body. She was forced to wear a restricted halo brace, so she had to sit there with this halo brace for like years and years, and years, oh man, and there were screws directly into her skull to keep her from moving. This is a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is a nightmare, this is an absolute nightmare. How is she?
Speaker 2:What is she doing? Looks like a trap from Saw.
Speaker 3:It really does, and I would much rather see that little tiny wheelchair clown, creepy man.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I would just end me.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:Want to play a game.
Speaker 2:No, that's how I got into this fucking mess oh that's right.
Speaker 3:Want to play a game? Just signs you up for PE soccer.
Speaker 2:That kicks a soccer ball at you.
Speaker 3:How could this possibly go wrong? You'll see.
Speaker 1:You'll see.
Speaker 2:Take a kick.
Speaker 1:Oh man, no, but that's really fucked up and sad. She's just living there with this head brace on. She's not allowed to move.
Speaker 3:Can't look any direction on. She's not allowed to move, can't look any direction, there go your peripherals. Well, good luck if they try to play dodgeball, god forbid.
Speaker 1:she has whiplash for any reason.
Speaker 3:Keep your head on a swivel. So they removed this halo from her right, okay, and when they detached it, her skull detached from her spine, good lord.
Speaker 1:Oh, my god, yes.
Speaker 3:It's called an internal decapitation.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's called an internal decapitation. Wow, internal decapitation that kind of sounds like if the HR team of your company decides to decapitate someone. Internal decapitation On the low we're going to handle this internally. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I do love that. Send them to the second floor. Oh my God, they never come back from the second floor, they never come back to the second floor.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, they never come back from the second floor. They never come back from the second floor.
Speaker 3:This is what she says. She says I flew my chair back to keep gravity from decapitating me.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 3:My neurosurgeon had to hold my skull in place with his hands. I couldn't stand. My right side was shaking uncontrollably, oh my God. She was then rushed to an emergency surgery where doctors fused her skull to her spine. You can see here what that surgery looked like. They had to shave the back of her head, oh my God. And then there's a massive, massive scar.
Speaker 1:It's so freaky, oh my God, I mean, she's such a badass for going through all of this.
Speaker 3:She is.
Speaker 1:What a badass fucking scar. I mean, that is just gnarly.
Speaker 3:She says it was a horror show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sounds like one.
Speaker 3:I woke up unable to move my head at all. She managed to survive the harrowing decapitation, which evidently carries a 90% fatality rate, but I actually thought it would be higher.
Speaker 1:I thought it would be way higher.
Speaker 3:Like 9 out of 10 people that lose their head die. But it's like, didn't it?
Speaker 1:be 10 out of 10?. Yeah, you got your head decapitated. I wasn't decapitated by sight, it technically just kind of fell off on its own, like what.
Speaker 3:Our pet's heads are falling off. Yeah, it's like the bird from Dumb and Dumber. So it has a 90% fatality rate due to the likelihood that nerve signals will become damaged between the brain and the body.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah.
Speaker 3:Right, right, and then that would lead to paralysis around vital organs like the lungs and the heart, which are, like all, important and stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, so then she had to have 37 more surgeries, leaving her body fused from her skull to her pelvis and her head, unable to move in any direction. What a Okay, she says. I am literally a human statue.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, and we've talked about this as it's a witch's curse.
Speaker 3:Oh, I want to a human statue. Oh my God and we've talked about this as it's a witch's curse oh, I want to be worshipped by all. She turns him into a statue. I'm literally a human statue. My spine doesn't move at all, but that doesn't mean I've stopped living. So she's like very motivational. But also this poor woman. I just want to cry. They say internal decapitations are three times more likely in children with traumatic accidents because their bones are not fully developed. But in her case her fall in a combination with HEDS was enough to have the head injury that led to what she has here. I'm not exactly sure what h-e-d-s is, although it does spell heads, heads. So she got will roll. Yeah, kyle, what is it?
Speaker 2:hypermobile ehlers-danlos syndrome.
Speaker 1:Uh, yeah, yeah, that's not fun that doesn't sound like a good syndrome to have generalized joint hypermobility.
Speaker 2:So if it was like a little less severe, she could sound like a good syndrome to have Generalized joint hypermobility. So if it was like a little less severe, she could be like a contortionist and be very successful. Oh, but now she just will fucking fall apart.
Speaker 3:She could have worked for David Copperfield and got finger popped against her will.
Speaker 1:It's like a human made out of Legos.
Speaker 3:So apparently it really is Internal decapitations. They're pretty rare. It accounts for less than 1% of all cervical injuries, so that's good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can imagine it doesn't sound very common. I've never heard of this.
Speaker 3:And now again they have fused her head back and she is a living miracle, Wow.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:Her body is returning to normal hobbies she had before the life-altering injury. She just recently went bowling like our friend Vanessa. What? Who the hell let?
Speaker 1:her go bowling.
Speaker 3:I don't know why she's around any balls. If I was her mom.
Speaker 1:I'd be like, are you fucking kidding me? We just reattached your head and now you're going bowling.
Speaker 2:Maybe she just pushed it down like the kid little ramp thing.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 3:No, she says she bowled a strike. Whoa, she bowled a strike. Wow, I thought she couldn't move. No, because now they've reattached it.
Speaker 1:So now she's starting to move.
Speaker 3:Now she can move, now she can move and hold bowling balls. This is a happy picture of her. Oh my.
Speaker 1:God, she, oh, my God, she's standing.
Speaker 3:She's standing, yep, and she can really do it now. And yeah, she went bowling. She says I bowled a strike on my very first try. Wow, my friends screamed and clapped and cheered like wild. They weren't just celebrating the strike which they, yeah, like no one really cares about the strike.
Speaker 1:No one cares about the strike. Everyone was like is her head still on Right. Oh my God.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they were celebrating everything I've survived.
Speaker 1:Dude, I can't, I couldn't imagine Everything she would do would scare the crap out of me.
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just lifting anything over 10 pounds. No, no, no, no, no, I got this. I got this Please. She said They'd be like don't look behind you, but there's someone that we know. No, don't actually look behind you. Please Don't turn around. I'll make them come around to you.
Speaker 3:Yes, just relax, Just relax. There's so many programs out Watch the penguin Relax, oh my God. But she says I'm still learning what my new body can do. It's not easy, but I'm adapting and I'm always surprised by what I can still accomplish.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, that is very. She's incredibly resilient for that.
Speaker 3:Yep Meghan King.
Speaker 1:Stronger than most of us.
Speaker 3:Yep, hell, yeah, yeah, oh my God, I would be so done.
Speaker 1:I would yeah Like take me out.
Speaker 3:So it's the miracles of modern science.
Speaker 1:That's insane. They 3D printed her a new spine.
Speaker 2:Pano said her head and spine did a 7-10 split.
Speaker 1:It really did. It was a bowling reference.
Speaker 3:It really did. Anyway, I almost want to make her butt of the week.
Speaker 1:Almost you can't even get decapitated to be butted in this movie. What do you have?
Speaker 2:to do? You gotta be inanimate.
Speaker 1:You gotta be a bus stop. Well, if I see one. Well, the bus stop wasn't decapitated.
Speaker 3:What about?
Speaker 1:Paddington Was Paddington ever the butt of the week?
Speaker 3:No, no, no, he was stolen and put back together again.
Speaker 1:He was stolen and put back together again. He was, he was sawed in half and technically reattached.
Speaker 3:Much like that woman who was stopped yeah. All right, let's move on to an interesting story tale.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is true. Yeah, well, I mean, that was interesting. Is it more interesting than that? Ish, ish. The CIA Okay, we're learning a lot about their shadowy businesses. Yeah, I've never personally known what they've been up to.
Speaker 3:They're horrible. My friend's family works in the CIA, but they're always how do you know that?
Speaker 1:Aren't you not allowed to know that?
Speaker 3:You can know that, but you can't know anything, right. All I know is one's in Bahrain. Oh, and they're just doing-.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:So they're like whenever there's a war, they just kind of go first and lay the war groundwork.
Speaker 2:I don't know. They sweep out the streets, get it ready.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like well, this is just right. It's like fixture upper.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:They're like look at that beautiful shiplap right there, That'll look good exploded.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So the CIA. Many of their secrets have been coming out. It's decades later that American citizens are finally learning about Russian alien encounters and mind control experiments. However, not everything they do is so cool and James Bond-y. Sometimes they just want to make fun of communists for having small penises.
Speaker 3:Wait what this is true. These are Cold War condoms. In the 1950s, the CIA co-funded an operation to drop millions and millions of anti-communist propaganda on the ground right, and that was going to be in Soviet-controlled Europe. And the CIA took things a little bit further. Within these anti-communist pamphlets they had a bunch of condoms and the CIA, so they would label the condoms small or medium and then they would drop them on communist nations. The strategy what? Yeah, because they want everyone to think they have all small dicks. That's okay, this is a lot of money. This is the top knowledge.
Speaker 1:Why are they using?
Speaker 2:medium at best. Yes, that's incredible.
Speaker 3:It's very interesting. So they drew up plans to also have packets of extra large condoms labeled small or medium and those were dropped to the communist country. So basically they sent out the magnums right and then they were like these condoms are pretty tiny, and then people would put the condoms on and be like this condom's pretty big and then they would think those American dicks must be real long.
Speaker 1:This is it. Wow, this is what they're doing.
Speaker 3:This was in the 1950s. This is the peak of the Red Scare.
Speaker 2:That's a good psy-op right there, isn't that?
Speaker 3:amazing.
Speaker 1:Just a bunch of morons just being like 25 years old in the CIA and be like, yeah, you know, it'd be funny.
Speaker 3:The strategy was. It worked. It lowered the morale of the male citizens of Western of Eastern Europe and it made them look like their well-endowed Western counterparts were just really fucking hung.
Speaker 2:So they all said small, but then you could fit your arm into it.
Speaker 1:Isn't that amazing. That's awesome, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3:Yeah, apparently they never really did the plan, but this was a big plan that they had. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Hook line and sinker. They fell for it.
Speaker 3:Billions and billions of dollars, right. What if we make them think that their dicks are all small and our dicks are all big?
Speaker 1:Mind control.
Speaker 3:I never thought about that.
Speaker 1:That's mind control, baby Like what.
Speaker 3:We're all so stupid, but it would work. It would work.
Speaker 2:It would work. Definitely would yeah.
Speaker 3:If I bought a Magnum condom. But it was like oh, it says small condom, and then I put it on and I'd be like whoa, it's not supposed to be that. No, I'd be all sad. I was like well, they messed the packaging up wrong yeah, like I'm a grower, not a shower, and then I'll be like I'm not even a grower. Sad they also had a plot against osama bin Laden. Remember him?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Did they kill him or not kill him? That's the question. I don't know. Did they? Well, I know the guy O'Neill. What's his name? Paul O'Neill, not Paul O'Neill, that's the name of another dude.
Speaker 1:Of course they killed him.
Speaker 3:Well, they dumped him in the middle of the ocean. There's some speculation he might be alive.
Speaker 2:Robert O'Neill.
Speaker 3:Robert O'Neill. He's the guy who says I killed Bin Laden. I met him many, many times, but the thing is he's probably a psyop, because you're not supposed to actually say that. If you did do it, I'm surprised you're letting him say it.
Speaker 3:Well, he's the one that can say it. He was on the SEAL Team 6. That is true. Obviously all of his books vetted and they're probably full of misinformation, outright lies, because then he does have some counterparts that were with him being like I don't think you did kill him, but folks kind of let him have it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh boy, yes. And then every time I would see him at Fox News, people would be like thanks for killing Osama bin Laden, and he'd be like no problem. So he's been using it to get laid for a long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I bet so, yeah, yeah, I bet, so yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:But did he actually do it? Probably not, because, to your point, kyle, they don't want you to actually know what happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so the CIA once hatched a plan to make Osama bin Laden figurines with a face that peeled off in the sun to reveal the devil. Whoa, this is about a toy, it's a demon toy. This is true what the aim was to distribute demonic toys to children in the Middle East. Wow, oh jeez.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not even cool man, that's not even nice.
Speaker 3:No, it's not nice. Why are you doing that? I don't know. So they say we're going to distribute demonic toys to children in the Middle East and counter Al-Qaeda's leadership. According to Donald Levine, the creator of GI Joe, they were commissioned to design three prototypes in 2005.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:As part of the spy agency's plan to find out what happened during 9-11 and bring Osama bin Laden back. Wow.
Speaker 1:So what these toys have like little voodoo things attached to them. They have little recorders so that kids can talk into them.
Speaker 3:This is what it's all about. That's the irony of all of this stuff, where, yes, it is very high tech in many ways. In other ways they're like what if we make a really scary toy for kids and then they're all like he's nuts, he's scary, he's the devil, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean this is, this is the peak of adulthood, right here. It really is having having that job title with all of those confusing words that you don't know what it really means. But then at the end of the day, you're just getting coffee for someone like tree surgeon. Like yeah.
Speaker 3:But this reminds me of those really cool He-Man dolls, remember, you could push the one guy's stomach and then he would turn all like creepy faces. I think this would make him look kind of cool. What so, apparently? What's the name of that one?
Speaker 2:I'm trying to find Mondo he was really cool, mondo.
Speaker 3:So what would happen is the face of the prototype would peel off in the sun. The face of the prototype would peel off in the sun and then that would reveal a demon-like visage with red skin, green eyes and black markings. Evidently it looked just like Darth Maul.
Speaker 1:Whoa, I see that.
Speaker 2:Yes, what's the name of the toy? Man-y faces, oh.
Speaker 1:I love it I love it.
Speaker 3:Whoa 80s, you did it again.
Speaker 1:Many faces.
Speaker 3:The action idea was proposed. However, it was later rejected, but it did get past the prototype stage, According to a CIA spokesperson. They say to our knowledge, there are only three individual action figures ever created, and these were merely to show what a final product might look like. So that was one of their ideas. I kind of want that doll. Well, if you take a look, here.
Speaker 1:that's what it would look like, so that was one of their ideas. I kind of want that doll.
Speaker 3:Well, if you take a look here, that's what it would look like.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:Yes, very, very creepy, and it does look very Darth Molly, very, very Darth Molly. Oh, my God, right there. Oh yes, holy shit.
Speaker 1:That is really creepy, jesus. I think it looks cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it looks pretty cool, it looks a little, a little tribal too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I mean, if I was, if I was gonna play with that as a toy, I would be like this is freaking awesome Before I just had this Stupid looking guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and now I've got this demon. Now it like Looks like he took up wrestling.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's all cool, looks like Kane. It does look like Kane. That's who I thought of.
Speaker 2:Yes, the boogeyman.
Speaker 3:The real boogeyman so that's not all the CIA has done. It's not just big old Magnum condoms marked as small and toys.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's good. This is what they mean when there are these folders that are like classified this is it? This is what it is they're like. No, no, no, don't look at that. That's classified information Classified. It's just pictures of toys.
Speaker 3:I used to do a show called Red Eye all the time with this gal, kt McFarland. She was former CIA and it's funny I was playing the Black Ops game and her character it's definitely her in that movie and anyway, it's just this stupid.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But it's so stupid and it's so pervasive that it just becomes reality. You know, like with the beeper situation, with what happened with Israelis going against parts there in Palestine, Palestinians right, when they sold them the beepers, and then they all exploded and stuff like that. It was like this whole like two, three year long process where they had to create a fake company. Wow.
Speaker 1:They're like Hamas is going to love these beepers, they really beep. That's insane.
Speaker 3:So, anyway, they also were known for blackmailing world leaders with fake sex tapes. From 1945 until 1970, the CIA ran a covert operation targeting foreign leaders. Among the targets, fidel Castro.
Speaker 1:Okay, so in these years, the CIA was filled with a bunch of high schoolers, yes, spreading rumors, bullying other countries, dropping off condoms, being like ha ha, you got a small dick.
Speaker 3:It's jerk. It's just boys being boys.
Speaker 2:Literally Getting their head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but this one sounds a little more girlish. It's like you know, if you do this, we're going to tell everyone that you fucked this person, and we have footage. We have footage and it's like we don't really, but just tell them that we do.
Speaker 3:The Congo's Patrice Lombamba, dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo and President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam. There were also some lethal viruses. They had explosive cigars and other spy thriller type tactics were used, oh my God. But mostly what they would like to do is make it look like they are having a lot of crazy sex. So the CIA produced pornographic film.
Speaker 3:The name of this pornographic film was quote Happy Days that's what it is and it was reportedly showing President Ahmed Sukarno of India having sex. It showed him in ecstatic sexual congress with a woman, although the person involved was actually an American performer in a mask. Oh, it was an imposter. It was an imposter. No word on what size condom he was mask. Oh, it was an imposter. It was an imposter. No word on what size condom he was wearing. Oh, so the CIA's plan was to circulate the film, pretending that it had been secretly made by the KGB in the course of a visit by Sukarno to the Soviet Union. So he went to the Soviet Union, they made this fucking thing, and then they were like well, this is going to make him be all mad with the Russians because he's going to think that they filmed him having sex with a woman.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Could have been worse.
Speaker 3:Could have been a guy it could have been. Back then they really did make it quite respectful, yeah, but back then not everyone was showing their balls and their you know cocks and everything on camera.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was outrageous enough.
Speaker 3:Yes, People had. I think it was shame.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you know who cares, I remember shame, fuck it.
Speaker 3:Who cares yeah?
Speaker 1:Honestly, this is all just confirming that the cartoon Archer is probably taken from totally real events.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:From what the CIA actually is up to. It's just a bunch of morons.
Speaker 3:Well, and just to go further with how really just man run the world, the plan backfired. And why did it backfire? Because Sukarno was impressed with the film. Yeah, he's like, oh, that was cool. So he was impressed with how he was depicted in the film. Because it showed him quote leaving his Russian partner aglow with fulfillment. Yeah, so they made him. So that's the problem with the tape. They made him like a great lover.
Speaker 1:They made him complete the mission.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so it really. He was probably showing it to all his other country folks. Be like, look how good your president fucks.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, that's how I get down Right.
Speaker 1:Who said this? This isn't me, oh wait, oh wait. Well, shit, maybe it is me.
Speaker 3:Where it is. She's still coming to this day. We had to reattach her head. There was another program that had remote-controlled dogs. In 1963, they tried to do a mind-control experiment on dogs, which is just called a dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Pretending to throw the ball, yeah.
Speaker 3:Dogs are the most loyal things ever.
Speaker 1:You can pretty much train a dog to do things.
Speaker 3:But this is disgusting. They would implant devices into six canine skulls and use a remote control to guide them through an open field.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, that's fucked up.
Speaker 3:Really nuts. So they could be made to run, turn and stop, as scientists would zap them.
Speaker 1:You can literally do that without zapping them. They don't, they don't. There's no need to implant anything in them. Give them a treat, implant the treat from your hand to its mouth. It's going to do all of those things.
Speaker 3:Give them a treat.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:The specific aim of the program was to examine the feasibility of controlling the behavior of a dog in an open field. It's so easy. It's so easy, guys, we're so stupid, it's so dumb. Oh, we're so stupid.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, Back then we thought like the dog was like this, like complex fucking creature, right.
Speaker 3:Is that what it is? I don't know what they were thinking.
Speaker 1:Or is it like they didn't quite figure out how to train the dog yet?
Speaker 3:Yeah, just again, treats are the way to go. Yeah, that's all the dogs need. They don't need to be remote controlled, no. And then of course, you have things like MK Ultra Mind Control, which we all know about, project Stargate, which we could probably do a whole episode on that.
Speaker 1:All of the acid that they gave to everyone.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, in the 1970s for Project Stargate, the CIA was trying to test this psychic, uri Geller. He was famed for bending spoons, but then I think they just realized he was full of shit.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but that's how people were back then. They're like we better get him in here and it's like I'm Johnny Carson, that's a character I play. Yeah, the great Houdini, or whoever the hell.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Then the great Randini put out a million dollar bounty, saying anyone that can actually prove that they're a medium or a psychic or can bend stuff with their mind, he'll give them the million dollars. They never were able to find anyone who really had it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, according to the CIA, the conclusion is that Yuri quote demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner, so maybe he could have been used for good old CIA psyops.
Speaker 1:Why was he? What was it with the bending spoons thing?
Speaker 3:Everyone wants to bend a spoon.
Speaker 1:Why do you want to bend a spoon? What about a spatula? What about like a larger? Like a soup spoon, like the large? Bend a spoon. I don't know. What about a spatula? What about like a larger, like a soup spoon Like the large one. They're always just like one tiny spoon.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:What about a can? Can you crush a can?
Speaker 3:Such a trash trick. Yeah, bend a shovel. Wow, you really bent that spoon. Bend a shovel yeah. Hey, honey you just fucking ruined a good spoon yeah, I could have my spoon back asshole. And then, of course, there's Operation Paperclip, where we just took a bunch of Nazis and we're like you're with us now and you're fine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you want to build a bomb.
Speaker 3:Anyway, we all know those stories. I thought that the doll and the condoms now that is the kind of creativity that I want in my United States. Psyops in my spy programs, all right. Well, we have a bunch of other articles, but we'll get through those later on this week. Let's go to our comments.
Speaker 2:Oh boy, let's see, we got Pano saying CIA propaganda. Prototype developer is now my dream job.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's the best, it's literally the best. Just be a moron, and then they think you're smart, and then boom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, jeff was saying. Some of their dust-off guys were stationed in Abbottabad, where Bin Laden got his head blown off.
Speaker 3:Fantastic Good.
Speaker 2:He said most of the people in the CIA are actually boring and do accounting and other boring jobs. True, yes, but the field agent base in Afghanistan was Kush.
Speaker 3:Oh sweet, let's see we had an inside guy.
Speaker 2:His tourniquet says I feel like everyone who says they work in the CIA is lying.
Speaker 3:That's the point yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm supposed to know.
Speaker 3:Technically, I'm a diplomat. Maybe I work in the CIA. Oh yeah, All right, everyone on that cliffhanger. Yeah, mm-hmm, let us know what you think Again. Okbudpod at gmailcom. Let's get healthy these next couple of weeks. Yes, and I'm going to drop some pounds and maybe try to fit into jeans I haven't worn in a while and keep your head on straight.
