From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know. A production of I Heart Radio.
Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt. My name is Noel. They call me Ben. We're joined with our guest super producer Ben Super Shifter Hackett. Most importantly, you are you. You are here. It makes this the stuff they don't want you to know as we described previously. We've been on the road for a bit. We're so happy to get back together, not just with us, but with some of our fellow conspiracy realists who will be joining us on air today for our weekly listener male segment.
We are going to explore some stuff about ICP. We're going to get a message from MediGrama. We're going to talk about MediGly assisted suicide in Canada. Many people wrote to us with their experiences. We might mess around with chat G.P.T. a little bit. It's the high kid on the block, right? But before we do any of that, we're thinking we're going to begin with an email from our friend, tone about something pretty, pretty wild.
It's no secret. We recently got our show on TikTok. We've been on a lot of TikTok things. I think we're all aware of the recent hubbub about banning TikTok. You guys remember reading about this? Yeah. It sort of came and went, right? Like, go there a couple of times where they made some concessions and then recently there was some sort of statement. Now it seems to have petered out a little bit. Well, there are definitely bands within the federal government of any federal employees using it. Outright ban, like, you know, for the zenials.
Here is where our pal tone comes into play. Ton says the following. Hey, fellas, you may remember me as tone. I wrote to you all a few months ago about a weird noise and a few other tangentially related phenomena that affected me in a short period of time. Quick update on that. The FBI hasn't contacted me since then, but I'm definitely on a watch list or two. We've been right there with you, tone. As a matter of fact, tone says, who is it? Am I right? You're right.
However, says tone, that's not the reason for this email. I'm back with my tinfoil hat to suggest the topic I'd like to hear your opinions on the Restrict Act, or as I like to call it, Patriot Act 2, Electric Bougaloo. All I've seen about it in the media is in regards to banning TikTok. But if you take even a cursory glance at the bigger picture, you'll notice that it is much more nefarious than that, barring the fact that many of the proponents of this bill own stocking, competing social media companies, cough, cough, meta, cough, barring, even still. The fact that the biggest shareholders in those competing social media companies and the MSM, which we take to mean mainstream media, as a whole, our Vanguard and BlackRock, the danger which I'm referring to lies within the vague wording and broad definitions in the bill.
TikTok would just be the start. This bill effectively grants a non-elected committee access to any and all devices and services connected to the internet so long as they have more than one million users are owned by four in adversaries and see the acting president deems them a threat.
We're going to allied some of this because an in-depth email, thank you, Tony. We love these. Tony says this means everything from websites and video games to mobile apps and even the cameras in your home could be affected. That's pretty crazy.
We can, well, let's add in this last part, tone notes that the Restrict Act threatens any US citizen that attempts to subvert the bill with felony consequences in the form of a fine up to $1 million and up to 20 years in prison.
Right. Sort of like tampering with a smoke alarm on an airplane. Right. It takes a tag off the mattress. You know what you did.
对,就像在飞机上对烟雾报警器进行篡改一样。对,就是撕下了床垫上的标签。你知道你做了什么。
So with this, like, okay, the Restrict Act, I think like a lot of people, I first heard about it in relation to TikTok, but it does seem pretty, pretty broad, dangerously so.
Have you guys heard much about this outside of TikTok? I'm thinking about companies like Niantic that we saw a gorgeous activation itself by Southwest recently for the good activation. Yeah, of Pokemon Go fame, but also prior to that of like an essay fame, right?
Well, when they're a connection, or they were like a contractor or a vendor for some kind of surveillancey government, you know, I don't, I don't have the full story there, but I am thinking about a lot of the games that show up in like the, the app store or the play store or whatever that are, they have a ton of users right over a million users are probably game oriented and data mining oriented. Yeah, 100%.
Don't put me on your phone screen with the Pokemon Go. No, I know. You come with your phone. Go away. That's good. I go Pokemon Go to the polls with the hot sauce that's in my bag. I'm Hillary Clinton.
I remember when I had my five minutes of Pokemon Go dumb and we were out at our spot and you were not having it. And you were like, I'm like, no, man, there's a snorlax on your book. Did I get that thing away from me?
Yeah, I, you know, I probably trend paranoid. It is known as it is a smart move. No, we know too much. It is known.
啊,我啊,你知道的,我可能有点儿多疑。大家都知道这是个聪明的做法。因为我们知道太多了。这是公认的。
He say it's all device of fire, but it is, it is reasonable that I know we love acronyms on this show. So one to give you the full name of the restrict act. Uncle Sam's very cute to you with these. It is the restricting the emergence of security threats that risk information and community communications technology, super rolling off the tongue there.
It's also a bipartisan bill. It's been led, the charge is being led by two senators, Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia and John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota. This does seem to be well, cartoonishly broad first, but it also seems to be something that's going to bore a lot of people. And I would argue maybe by design, the same way that came campaign finance reform is super boring, right? Because it super matters.
The restrict act is targeting a genuine security risk. Like, it's true. The Chinese government should they wish can leverage data mind from TikTok, just like you pointed out, Matt, a lot of these games, ultimately are there to figure out your habits, your location, to learn more about you than you may consciously be aware of when you click the old terms and agreements.
But where does this become dangerous? I mean, the idea kind of goes into a vibe check, you know, that third thing that tone just named, the acting president deems them a threat. The acting president is one person out of the same one person out of three, more than three hundred thirty something million one person goes, I don't like it. I think that gift is dumb.
Well, to be fair, it would be an advisor, right? Probably from some big company, BlackRock comes forward and says, hey, we need to get rid of this. And then the president eventually hears about and goes, oh, BlackRock? Yeah, sure. Whatever it is, just say yeah.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. I almost brought to the strange news table a story about BlackRock in San Diego where they bought a ton of the affordable housing in 2021 and racked up the prices by 40 to 60%, which is illegal. They're only allowed to hike it up 10% a year over a year. That's the maximum you can hike up the prices. Anyway, BlackRock. Yes, you know them, you know them, they're buying up neighborhoods near you.
And that might be true. Actually, check out our early investigations on the way investment companies and other institutions are leveraging algorithms to see how far they can gouge housing prices before breaking society. And they are threading the needle there and it's not going to get better soon. Forever renters. That's us.
Yeah, yeah, and Matt did write the tagline for their commercials. Check it out.
是的,是的,Matt确实为他们的广告编写了标语。来看看吧。
Here's the twist though. For a lot of us listening, you might be saying, well, Aaroni knew TikTok was sketchy. I don't mess around with with that. It's clearly an op or has the opportunity to be an op. It's an op op. It's an op op. It's an op op.
But while you are correct about that, friends, neighbors, countrymen, the mayors, why you're correct about that? It does, this restrict act does potentially still apply to you in a very dangerous way. Because as it's written now, it could criminalize the use of VPNs across the board.
This can, yeah, because think about it more than one million users. That's a lot of VPN companies owned by quote unquote for an adversaries. That's kind of in the eye of the beholder and then the acting president does a vibe check and doesn't dig it. VPN as easily as TikTok. Whoa.
So we need a, we need a, an American VPN company. Oh, and then it would work, right? What's the one that we always talk about? Express. Yeah, express VPN is no more. No, no, yeah.
Why is this important? Well, VPNs get a bad name sometimes in the mainstream because they are associated with sketchy acts online. However, like any other technology, it's probably dual use, if not multiple use. We have to remember that VPNs provide a mission critical ability, a mission critical access and opportunity to people living under the thumb of authoritarian governments.
Yes. Organizing protest, the people who are right now fighting, possibly dying in the pursuit of equality and human rights. Not everybody in a VPN is just trying to get, you know, is trying to get like an illegal rip of the latest Marvel movie or something, you know what I mean?
As a matter of fact, I would say the, and this is just opinion, love to hear, disagree it here. As always, keep us honest, I would argue that the benefits of VPN as a technology outweigh the consequences. What do you guys think?
I have a question too. Do you guys think that torrenting is up now that like the streaming wars have gotten so beyond ridiculous and no one knows where anything is anymore? I don't know. I don't know.
Pyrating of media. It's been a long time since I've seen any of that. So I don't know. Yeah.
媒体盗版。我好久没见过了,所以我不知道。嗯。
Good question. I know that torrenting as of 2022 is still considered a thing, but it wasn't, I think it was a function of people just not being able to find stuff. And it's, yeah, it's, yeah.
It's sort of like more of a crime of opera, not opera. No, a crime of inconvenience. You know, yeah. Because I mean, we've basically gotten back to the place where, you know, if you add up all of the different alacart streaming services, you may well be paying more than you used to pay for cable when that was, you know, the issue or the heart of the issue.
And it's kind of, you know, at some point, I don't want to sound like a curmudgeon or sourpuss, but at some point, I like many other entities was just saying, come on. Guys, do you need your own special streaming service? I get it. I love one of your shows. But do you need it? Can't you just sell that to someone else who sells it to me? You know, it's just, it's strange because you're absolutely right and all.
And did that vulcanization of streaming services did create the problem that was originally meant to solve or it sort of accelerated or reinforced that problem? Just put it in a different shape. You know the name, like it's just all spread out now.
I do wonder about VPNs though sometimes. But going back to your question there been, because I think I see what you're saying. If a VPN wasn't available to anyone who wanted to buy it, then you, if you were doing some super nefarious thing and you knew you had to be online to do it, I'm assuming you could create a VPN type situation for yourself. You wouldn't need a giant infrastructure to make that happen. If you were a proper, you know, computer criminal, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I imagine that someone that's trying to do cyber crimes aren't using ExpressVPN. Because you know, they would still have to probably turn over your data in the event of an investigation, right? To show, you know, what your traffic was and how you had masked it. Do they promise complete anonymity or is there an event where they could be subpoenaed? They promised to try.
Okay. So much is, I think a valid promise to make, but if something can be built, it can also be broken, right? That's been true ever since the invention of the wheel. This, that sounds weird, but it also, yes, valid. But we also have to see the larger pattern, right? Legislation again is eternally outpaced by technological innovation. And a lot of times the people making the laws about this stuff don't understand the full ramifications of what they're trying to rule on. And we see this pattern that before, before TikTok, people were worried about Kaspersky lab from Russia or Hawaii, you know, like this, this is a continuing pattern. And this, I think, is going to be a full episode, depending on how TikTok plays out.
So what I suggest we do now is ask you our fellow conspiracy realist to give us your thoughts on the restrict act. Do you think it's good? Do you think it's over hyped? Do you think people using VPNs, our criminals, is Pandora's jar already open? Is this going to be enough to stem the tide? We don't know.

And we're back. Did you see the TikTok congressional hearing at all with CEO Shou Zichu as he was quote, unquote, grilled by lawmakers? The question about the Wi-Fi.
Yeah, man. That's the one. Yeah, I was. But literally, they asked it, they got to forget who it was, but it was definitely like a boomer go home kind of situation where this lawmaker was like, so can TikTok access your wireless network? You can't see you just positive. He was like, yes, in order to get online, TikTok needs to access your wireless network.
Yeah, it was like, well, if you give it access to Wi-Fi, he goes, so it can. The answer is your wireless network. Yeah, he said, do I have to explain smartphones today? Is that what today is? Our country is run by people older than your parents. All right.
I'm going to understand that they have phones with no wires. They're not so webbed. What is this black magic?
我要明白他们有没有线的电话。他们没有那么被网络化。这是什么黑魔法?
I don't know why I had an image of BlackRock in my head again. I don't know why again, guys, but I keep seeing the monolith, the Black Monolith. You know what I'm talking about?
The ones the monkeys are hitting with the monolith.
猴子正在用石柱打击的那些东西。
Yeah, dude, that's the BlackRock. I think so. I don't know. It's just a theory.
嘿,老兄,那是黑岩投资。我想是这样的。我不确定。这只是一个理论。
All right. A long time ago, because we're just now catching up on voicemails from like last month, we talked about at one point how the insane clown Posse was being categorized as a gang. Do you remember this?
So we got a message from Mohawk Mick, who we've heard from before, and he had a story to tell us. So here it goes.
咱们收到了来自莫霍克·米克的消息,咱们之前听说过他,他有一个故事要告诉咱们。那就开始吧。
Hey, guys. Mohawk Mick again. So I figured I might as well chime in with my little two cents on the juggalo gang situation. I was in Nashville, Tennessee. I was arrested for possession of a single solitary joint. I was pulled over for speeding. They found a joint in my pocket, and I had to go in to jail for the weekend. I've been arrested many times for possession of marijuana before, and I was used to it thinking no big deal. I'd go to court and get on probation at worst and let out in the morning. Or by Monday, rather.
And so I walk into where they have me scheduled to within the jail, and it was a new part of the jail I'd never seen before. And instantly upon being set into a cage with 150 bunks in it, I had men walking up to me asking me what set I was wrapping.
Now, because I, of course, I'm a street kid a little bit. I knew what that meant, and they were asking me, well, gang, I belong to you, and I started giggling like, I'm not a gang, dude. I just got arrested for a joint. It's no big deal.
And of course, a little jumpy kid decided to get in my face talking about yo, bro, this is a gang unit, dude. You ain't wrapping your set. You're going to get nice in here. So, of course, I walk over to the CEO, I explained to him I said, sir, so this is misunderstanding. I've been misclassified. I do not belong in the gang unit.
He does a clicky-clacky on the computer, tells me tattooed left shoulder. That's where I have my hatchet man tattooed, because I am a juggler with my family. That is my friends. We take care of each other on these streets in a way that gangs even don't even take care of each other.
And so I had to turn around and announce to the entire pot of 150 actual gang bangers. But I'm a juggler, and that's why I'm classified in here. And FBI has recently put us on the gang list.
And if any of you have a problem with that, I'll be on my bunk reading a book. And one by one, every one of those gangs sent over someone to speak with me and tell me that I was cool with their set. They had a juggler, a friend, a juggler, a cousin, or a juggler in their set. And they ended up being all right and I ended up on the spades table with a whole bunch of gang bangers.
But imagine being a, maybe someone not quite like me, maybe someone a little more suburbia just thought you'd outlast your parents and get a hatchet man tattooed because you like some music. And then one day maybe get picked up for the most innocuous charge and end up in a gang unit. Imagine how that might change your life real quick, fast and in a hurry.
Maybe get you associated with the wrong type of people, the wrong crowd. Kind of looks like could have backfired on the US government. But anyway, this is Mohawk Mick, you can always use my voice, my name, that will not stuff on my shoulder. And I don't care who knows what it is.
Classic. That's fantastic. Oh, that's fascinating. Never thought about that side of it. The ramifications of what a classification like that means.
"经典啊,太棒了。哦,那真是迷人。从未想过它的这一面。这种分类的含义带来的影响是令人惊讶的。"
That's so interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I just, man, I just wanted to play that because it is firsthand experience of the danger of being gang associated, right? No matter what group you're in.
好有趣啊。是啊,我只是想玩这个游戏,因为它能让我第一手体验到与帮派有关的危险,不管你在哪个团体里。
I thought they declassified it though. I thought they pulled it off of the list. Is that not the case? I don't know.
我以为他们已经取消了它的保密等级,从清单上把它去掉了,不是这样吗?我不知道。
Well, did he say how recently this was? I didn't catch that. He's talking about, you know, back, he's reporting a story about a month ago or so.
嗯,他说最近是多久的时候吗?我没有听清楚。他说的是,你知道的,大约一个月前的一个报道故事。
But the ICP is currently, I mean, there's still currently going back and forth with the FBI over that designation to the great point you raised, Mohawk, Mick, being put in like a gang unit highly raises your chances of what's called recidivism, which means your odds of going back into some form of incarceration.
And we know the justice system, if we're still calling it that here in the US is incredibly flawed and imperfect. recidivism rates here are so high at times that one must ask whether it is by design, whether it is a bug or a feature.
And look, you know, I think we, we all read some great reporting on the Juggalo community at large, which has a lot of Venn diagrams. And the reality is that oftentimes people are totally civilians, but get popped for something and locked up, they find themselves needing to join a set just to ensure their own protection or survival in those pretty brutal systems, which then complicates life.
You know, when you get out, right? 100% dude. I mean, I mean, I said this before when I was on the show, but I've been to jail one time and it was because I had an unpaid or at least my ticket that I sent in the money for hadn't shown up as being paid speeding ticket and I was commuting a lot like kind of on this like part of between Atlanta and Athens, Georgia called 316 that goes through some kind of, you know, real small communities that like don't take payment online.
And so I had to send it in and I got pulled over. I got a little fender bender and my license had been suspended. I didn't know it, even though I had sent in the payment and I went to jail and like there was this dude in the cell that I was in and he'd been in there for like four days for failure to pay child support.
And what happens when you're in jail for four days, you lose your job and then you can't pay child support. So it's like it is this, I mean, even just something as simple as that and it's not gang related at all is designed to keep you in the system and to just completely hamstring your whole existence.
Yeah. Guys, I don't know. I don't have much else for this one. I want to play one more message if that's okay. Just want to say thank you to Mohawk Mick for sharing your story. Those are really enlightening. Thank you.
And this next message comes to us from Medic Grandma. That is how she labeled herself. It's not not applied. This person is amazing. I talked to her on the phone for a little bit. She was calling in about the can anyone die at Disney episode that our friends came in and co-hosted or hosted guest hosted for us. Yes, that was awesome. Awesome job. And this is comments on that episode.
Hi, this is Medic Grandma. I have been a paramedic for over 30 years doing 911. Nobody dies in my amulance either. I was commenting on the show from Disney about Disney and nobody dying there. There's a very good explanation for that. Once a paramedic gets on scene, they can declare death or not. Once it's a nut, that death is not declared until you get to the hospital. There's no in between at all. So if I'm putting hands on a patient that is in cardiac arrest, which these patients would be at Disney, we either work it or we don't. Once we work it, they're not to share that until they get to the hospital. So that would stand for the explanation of nobody dies at Disney because once the paramedic puts hands on, they don't declare death once they start that level of treatment. Thanks. Have a good day. Bye bye.
Yeah. Interesting. I mean, I was. Interesting. Thanks so much, Medic Grandma. You spoke with our fellow listener directly. Did you glean in the additional information? Oh, a ton. Oh my gosh. Her name is Deanna and I'm allowed to say that. I could have talked her for hours, guys. I think we could have had a really long conversation with her.
One of the biggest things that she said in the message there, once a paramedic arrives, whether that's EMS or EMT, there are different levels of EMT. There's kind of a basic trained EMT and advanced trained EMT and then a full on paramedic. And there's levels of care associated with each of those that can be applied if the the unconsensual Uber arrives been. I told her that you say that all the time on the show and that's not essential Uber. No, not essential Uber. Yeah.
But she was just talking about the different levels of care that are associated when an ambulance shows up to you. And that person, if they're a paramedic, can declare someone dead on the scene, right? So if that occurs, then the ambulance is not used as transport. Right. So the ambulance is only used to transport a patient that needs care to a hospital facility.
I was going to ask if only a doctor can declare someone dead because that would sort of be like an open and shut answer to this question. And you're saying that a paramedic, someone at a higher level of that kind of, you know, on the spot care can do that. Yes. And Deanna was saying that once, what she said in the message, once that patient enters the ambulance, care is provided.
So let's say that person goes into full cardiac arrest, their heart stops. The paramedic or the EMT whoever's in there is going to revive that person if possible, right? 100% of the time, like they will just, they will attempt to revive that person, the entirety of the time. They will give, depending on the level of care, they can administer different drugs. They can, but you've seen it in the movies that can shock someone back into at least their heart beating, right?
It's just fascinating to hear her talk about how much can occur there. And there were so many other 10 general things we talked about guys. I didn't realize that EMTs and emergency responders, like medical response, that is the most assaulted role of any first responder. 100% I never would have thought that never. They're also, they're also cartoonishly underpaid for being on the front lines. It's, and for me, Dr, they're doctors are there, they're at least medical professionals, right?
My goodness. I didn't realize that just it's the nature of having to put your hands physically on a patient, right? To provide care to somebody. And depending on if there's a mental health crisis going on or if there's a family member of a patient that is angry about whatever situation, you could get, you could get in a bad situation real quick as a researcher. That never occurred to me.
No, that is fast. Dave, you guys seen the film bringing out the dead? It's very stylized. It's very, you know, Scorsaza 5, but it is, it is, I was always very taken by it, you know, going from the perspective of, you know, one of these professionals, you know, and like all the weird, crazy situations that they can find themselves in.
Again, it's a, it's a movie, but it's not always going, I mean, it's not always going for realism exactly, but it's interesting. I think it's something that you don't really think about just like how there's probably TV series that deal with it as well. And I'm not thinking those aren't really my cup of tea, but I always think of that.
And now you're saying all these things is kind of coming to mind. I think it's worth a watch. It's a tremendously important position in real life. And it's often ignored. There's a very non fictional, very real need for EMTs, need for paramedics, need for life-saving first responders.
I mean, right now, if you are in the Atlanta metro area, you will see that in that part of the world alone, there are almost 400 different job offers, right? That's, that is a big problem. It's like up there with the recognition that teachers still never get. Let's go to the end of what's saying. There's a massive nationwide shortage of paramedics, like especially fully trained paramedics, but EMTs in general as well.
She was just saying it is an extremely mentally and physically taxing profession. And she is a bit of a unicorn having worked for 30 years in the field. And then there are times of evolved. Certainly. You know, laws and technology and all of that. And the burnout. Oh, the burnout, dude.
And the thing, she's a fellow at Lanton, by the way. And the thing, one of the things that I pointed out that I had no idea, there are private companies that provide the 911 emergency responder care for huge parts of Georgia, huge parts of the United States because county services can't handle the volume that's required.
So there are these private companies. I think AMR is the one that handles DeCab County, which is here in Atlanta. And it's just interesting, there's so much stuff there, guys, about how 911 as a service is attempting to be turned into a profitable enterprise. Private service. Just what we need.
Well, it's starve the beast, right? What you do is you cripple public services that taxpayers are paying for. And then you use that as a misleading way to say, look how bad this service is. It would be better if it's privatized and then you give your buddies and your campaign donors some stuff off the top a little bit of a vigorous. And then you say, look how good this is. And you just don't talk about how rarely privatization works.
You could dress it up however you want, but that is the order of operations. Yep. Just same with like DUI schools and then like, you know, third party groups that interface with, with, you know, local law enforcement in terms of rehabilitation, AKA pay me to be able to return back to normal.
It all goes into what we were talking about a little while ago about people getting stuck in the system. It's a lot of that is, you know, just a, a, a money cycle, a money pit, you know, it really is. Tons of problems with healthcare in this country, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, get me started.
There was a time in DeCab County when an ambulance ride when he was the county running it, used to run you 300 bucks flat fee thousands now, I think that way anymore. I mean, that's why ask yourself why people are in life threatening situations or even like in the midst of giving birth to a human being and say, let's call the Uber, let's call the lift because our insurance company won't know about it. And they won't tax us because your local insurance company is probably a for profit entity.
You should not have to think about those kinds of things. You don't know their countries. And look, you know, people might say, oh, you guys are being soapboxy or whatever, but we're speaking factually here. And thank you to Medic Ramon. Things also do more. Make there.
But like the thing is, ask yourself this. Aside from calling an Uber in an emergency situation, ask yourself what the number one cause of death is in the United States. Now it's packaged is a lot of things. It's packaged as things like heart failure, cardiac arrest, cancer, et cetera. But really if you look at it, number one cause of death is not being able to afford privatized medical care.
And with that, we're going to hear a word from our sponsor. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on I Heart. I'm a neuroscientist and an author at Stanford University. And I've spent my career exploring the three pound universe in our heads.
On my new podcast, I'm going to explore the relationship between our brains and our experiences by tackling unusual questions so we can better understand our lives and our realities.

This case has all the markings of a ritualistic, occult murder. The Manor of Caves. I say to Lord Works in mysterious ways. A brand new immersive fiction podcast. No, EA got nothing on the devil. Parts psychological thriller. Part supernatural horror. The truth? Sometimes it's revealed in the intersection of facts. Sometimes it's hidden in the door.
Starring Westworld's Jonathan Tucker and Eddie Kothecki from Twilight, I wouldn't go digging around, staring up trouble to file a sheen. Tune it to uncover what happened with three boys entered a Tennessee cave, but only one returned. This is the exact spot where we found the bodies, Julie. The Manor of Caves. M-A-N-T-A-W-A-U-K, a production of IHAR Radio, one house television and psychopia pictures. Every minute I remain in Manor of Caves, the thick of the fog gets.
Listen to the Manor of Caves now on the IHAR Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
We're back with one more message from you, yes you. This case, we're talking about you, old shark jumper. That's who we're talking to, we're hearing from. With a very, very in-depth and thoughtful and heartfelt email about medically assisted suicide in Canada.
So just a little trigger warning here. We are going to talk about medically assisted suicide, but also this email mentions non-medically assisted. So if this is something that is triggering for you or that's something that is uncomfortable, you could probably just skip to the credits. But here we go.
Firstly, they call me old shark jumper and you have all the permissions required of me. I do live in Canada on an island off the west coast of British Columbia. I listened to your assisted suicide comments and felt compelled to write. A friend once told me he had terminal cancer, then went home and put a shotgun into his mouth.
Because I'm older, I've had some experience with loved ones dying. When my mother passed, we had to tell them to unhook the machines that were keeping her heart beating. She was already brained him. My first wife passed a few years ago. We had been married for almost 40 years at the time. She had cancer in her brain that had hemorrhaged into her brain. She was in a coma with no chance of survival and in pain. You could tell because of the way her face would move.
The closest anyone came to suggesting an early death was a nurse who answered our questions about keeping her on fluids. She responded with the fact that we were prolonging her suffering. As a family, we stopped her fluids. I was in the room with a doctor came to tell my brother they were no longer treating his cancer. He was too weak to take the massive doses of chemo. They would kill him and as doctors, they couldn't do that. I know how strong he was at that time and all the cancers he had and they were correct. He lived about another week. I have remarried and my president wife's first husband that she divorced had cancer and made the decision to not have treatment. He lasted about three months before passing.
In all these cases, we were not pressured to end anything early and assisted suicide was not mentioned. I do know a lady who did use assisted suicide and she was suffering from ALS and when her quality of life got below what she wanted, she requested and was given it. At present, I have cancer, hard to write. My chances are not great, but in no time has assisted suicide been mentioned. I'm going to get treatment and fight it. The people and counselors at the clinic have been excellent and very supportive of living. I have given my family my instructions if I don't make it.
In closing, I feel I should mention that the CBC is not always the Canadian Broadcasting Company. It's always the best source. As they are government funded and the present liberal government tends to expand their funding, they definitely back that party as opposed to a party that wants to cut their funding. Hoping to continue hearing your excellent podcast, old shark jumper.
Thank you, old shark jumper. We're thinking of you, man. No doubt. I mean, what an honest and candid email. You know, I mean, so many experiences and then, you know, your personal experience as well.
This was, of course, in reaction to our discussion of specifically medically assisted suicide. It wasn't about Canada though, right? We did a whole episode just on the concept and just, you know, the kind of troubled history of it and the lack of acceptance and it being very controversial, correct? It was specifically about Canada. It was from a earlier listener male.
Okay, but we were also done to hip-dose to it. Big picture discussions of this in the past as well. So yeah. We also did a story though where like we've heard discussion over the handling of the conversation around assisted suicide is very important, right? Like, yeah, yeah, that's for that. That's towards it or like, you know, whatever, like literally almost being coerced into it, right? Wasn't that part of it too?
Yeah. It was that listener male segment where they, where, believe it was listener male, we had a fellow conspiracy realist write to us about the controversy, the claims that there are being people who are kind of, well, the accusation, the allegations that they're being proactively offered the idea of medically assisted suicide in a very vulnerable time in their lives.
And it's quite refreshing to hear a shark jumper say that in their experience, this is not the case. The implication almost being to free up beds or something, right? Like the callous implication, I think there was certain intent in that discussion. If I'm not, you know, it's hard to know what people are thinking, but didn't this seem like there were some patterns where perhaps it was being suggested prematurely even.
Yeah. Yeah. This is from earlier this year in February, I want to say we received an email from Ghost regarding allegations of forced medically assisted death, very, very dangerous, very, very controversial stuff. But on the other hand, you know, given a shark jumper's perspective in these situations, something that should be on the table, you know, for individuals to choose in conjunction with, I guess, with input from their families.
I mean, it's ultimately should be up to the person, but the idea of this woman, this that he was discussing, who felt that her quality of life had fallen below what she wanted. You know, no one should have to take that into their own hands with a weapon, you know? I don't know.
I mean, maybe that's a controversial thing to say, but it feels like the obvious choice to me anyway. Maybe I'm missing something. It's a, it's fraught. I know. Well, you know, it's a strange thing. It feels like you should be able to choose. We have agency, right? We have free will theoretically.
It's a technically illegal to kill yourself. Like if you fail, can you like get in trouble? I know that I'm not being funny. I'm just, it depends on the, it depends on the country. Suicide is a crime in some parts of the world.
And if you look at a place like Japan, for instance, where some people have taken their own lives by jumping in front of a train, which also also occurs in other metro areas. Of course, I want to see Glitch Pan than what you see is in some cases families are fined for the cleanup or other damages that might occur, which seems like others are highly cold.
Yeah. I mean, it is putting other people in danger for sure. You're right about that. But as far as whether or not it is on the books of crime, it depends on the part of the world that you are in. In the US right now, I think it actually goes state by state. So in many states, suicide itself, the act is legal. These folks do not confuse that in any way with us condoning the practice. We very much are not.
No, I just, I just a question that popped into my head. I don't know where else to go with it. I just really think this was just an opportunity to see much like with the juggalist, or I know, it's very, very, very different, but to see from the inside how these kinds of things really affect people. You know, it's one thing to read a story about like a law or something, an event, but it's another thing entirely to really hear it from someone who's lived it and sees how it really shakes out in IRL. That's redundant. Just IRL.
So I don't know that there's really much else to say. Thank you, Shark Jumper for the old Shark Jumper for the really sobering perspective and thoughtful email.
We're going to end the show with something a little different. That's right. Yes. We wanted to share something. You know, in listener mail, we've been endeavoring to kind of close on some up notes. And, you know, we opened the door to terrible puns a while back, right? Or, you know, amazing puns, right? It's IB, the beholder situation.
We got an email from our good pal friend of the show Samurai and Samurai wanted to share with us a poem that he co-wrote with chat GPT impersonating Edgar Allan Poe. The prompt he gave was explain the stuff they don't want you to know podcast in the style of Edgar Allan Poe.
我们收到了来自我们好朋友兼节目观众的武士的电子邮件,并且武士想要与我们分享他与聊天GPT一起模仿爱伦·坡(Edgar Allan Poe)写的一首诗。他给出的提示是:以爱伦·坡的风格解释“他们不想让你知道的事”播客。
And so GPT wrote a poem, a poem, an Edgar Allan poem. I have no pun left behind. Yeah. Yeah. So we are going to, we are going to amaze ourselves or prompt some groans by collectively sharing this poem with our fellow listeners on air.
Start this way. We'll just switch back and forth. Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered weak and weary over many a curious volume of the strange and unexplained lore suddenly, there came a tabbing as if someone gently wrapping, wrapping at my chamber door. Okay, I don't think chat GPT made that part.
So who could it be? I muttered disturbing me at this late hour. Is it a friend? A foe? A something far more bizarre. But as I opened wide the door there, oh, sorry, sorry, let me go.
But as I opened wide the door, there stood a trio, nothing more. Ben, null and Matt, the hosts of a podcast I did a door. The stuff they don't want you to know, they whispered in my ear and thus began a journey.
Ben, Ben, can you do it like real ASMR whispery? It's creepy. I'm actually whispering in here. The whole thing in super shift will do it. We'll do it in a quiet storm.
The stuff they don't want you to know, they whispered in my ear and thus began a journey through the mysteries we hold so dear. From secret societies and cover ups to the paranormal and the strange, the hosts explored the depths of the unknown, seeking answers to a range.
And as I listened to their tales I couldn't help but feel a chill. For the truth they sought was often elusive, hidden from us still. And yet they urged their listeners to question and to seek, to never settle for easy answers, but to explore and to critique.
Thank you. Thank you so much, Samurai. Thank you. Thank you. G.P.T. Which I didn't think we would say today. Thank you to Mohawk Mike. Thank you so much to Mediagram. Thank you to Old Shark Jumper. And of course, thank you to Tone.
Do you want to be a part of our show folks? We would love to have you on a weekly listener mail segment. All you have to do is open the door. And there are many doors to open. Yeah, one of them or several of them exist on the internet in the form of social media, where we are conspiracy stuff at YouTube, Facebook, where we have our Facebook group. Here's where it gets crazy and also Twitter. Conspiracy stuff show on Instagram and TikTok.
If you'd like to use your phone, call 1833STDWYTK. It's a voicemail system. You've got three minutes. Give yourself a cool moniker. We don't care what your name is as long as it's not your real government name. Do not give us your government name. Yeah, like Diana. Shit. She said we should use it. Okay. If you give us permission, okay, that's fine. I know you want. Basically, what we're saying is we'll call you whatever you want. That's correct. It's not obscene. Please do let us know if we can use your name and message on the air.
Stuff they don't want you to know is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
