Welcome back to Shadow Chat Sessions, where the news is weird, the crimes are dumb, the universe is probably haunted, and John is fueled entirely by sarcasm and caffeine.

This episode delivers one of our wildest mixes yet:

• 🐙 A psychic octopus predicts the election and leaves oceanographers questioning their degrees.

• 🌐 The Dead Internet Theory crawls back from the digital grave.

• 🔮 The 2025 Dystopia Forecast — because apparently we needed more things to worry about.

• 🍲 A cook is arrested for stealing “secret recipes” from his own restaurant.

• 📞 An inmate pretends to be a judge and tries to call the jail to free his buddy.

• 🛁 A man breaks into a home, takes a drunken bath, and refuses to leave, boasting a blood alcohol level that could strip paint.

• ✨ Strange lights return over the Nevada desert (of course they do).

• 👣 Ghost Soldiers appear again on the Appalachian Trail.

• 🦍 Bigfoot DNA from Oregon heads for testing.

• 🪬 A Roman cursed tablet surfaces in Bath, England.

• 💥 Sky quakes shake the Eastern U.S. — but scientists are still shrugging.

Every story comes with full breakdowns, deep-dive details, and John’s signature sarcastic takes, including the now-iconic response to the bathtub bandit:

“Somewhere there’s a mugshot of this guy in a towel looking like a criminally hydrated Buddha.”

If you love bizarre headlines, haunted forests, glitch-in-the-matrix moments, and criminals who should honestly have to pass a sobriety test before attempting a crime — this episode is for you.

What do you get when hackers hijack a California billboard to stream cat videos, Scientology infiltrates U.S. government agencies, and Reddit swears that AI is reading everyone’s minds? You get this week’s Shadow Chat Sessions — a full-throttle ride through the strangest corners of reality, stupidity, and the supernatural.

John dives into the L.A. billboard hack that turned freeway traffic into a feline film festival, exposes the true story behind Operation Snow White, one of the largest domestic infiltration plots in American history, and explores the eerie AI-can-read-your-mind theory that has Reddit losing its collective mind.

Then it’s time for Dipshit Diaries, where the dumb criminal trifecta includes:

• a burglar trapped in a chimney who had to call 911 on himself,

• a DoorDash driver demanding tips at gunpoint, and

• a Florida teen who faked his own abduction so convincingly, he actually shot himself.

And in this week’s Weird Shit, John covers: 👻 The Haunting at the Genesee Theatre — Illinois’ “Man in the Tall Hat” makes another spectral cameo. ⚓ Michigan’s Haunted Museum Ship — ghostly EVPs whisper “Still here.” 🌀 The Return of the Forest Grove Screaming Sound — Oregon’s eerie night wail is back. 🦇 DNA-Confirmed Cryptid Bat of Borneo — science just met folklore face-to-face. 💡 Australia’s Min Min Lights — mysterious orbs chase motorists through the outback once again.

It’s bizarre, it’s hilarious, and it’s unapologetically Shadow Chat.

Keep laughing. Keep questioning. Keep listening. And above all… keep the dialogue alive.

Welcome back to Shadow Chat Sessions, the show that digs into the bizarre, the unbelievable, and the downright stupid hiding in the shadows of the internet and history books alike.

This episode brings an all-you-can-eat buffet of chaos, starting with the story that had the zoo world buzzing — “Man Bitten by Panda at Zoo, Bites Panda Back in Rare Case of Mutual Munchies.” From there, we dive headfirst into one of rock’s strangest rumors in “Paul Is Dead”, crawl through the Paris Catacombs’ rumored portal to hell, and scroll into stupidity with The Selfie Burglar – Ashley Keast, Dennis Hawkins the “Bank Robber Barbie,” and Shop with a Cop… and a Crook.

Then it’s on to the Dog-Headed Humanoids of Pennsylvania, a historical WTF double feature with The Kentucky Meat Shower (1876) and The Boston Molasses Flood (1919), and finally the tales that keep internet legends alive — Gef the Talking Mongoose and The Watcher of Westfield, New Jersey.

Each segment mixes sarcasm, skepticism, and a healthy dose of “what the hell did I just hear?” energy — proving once again that stupidity, strangeness, and the supernatural are alive and well in small towns and big cities alike.

What do you get when a man tries to run across the Atlantic Ocean in a floating hamster wheel?

In this episode, John and Angela kick things off with one of Florida’s finest maritime meltdowns — a man attempting to “jog” to London across the sea in a duct-taped hamster wheel. Then we head straight into Time Cube madness, where one man’s war on science birthed the most chaotic conspiracy website in internet history. Over in the Reddit Rabbit Hole, we explore The Backrooms — an endless, fluorescent-lit horror dimension where geometry, monsters, and your last shred of sanity go to die.

Dipshit Diaries returns with three new criminal masterminds:

• One used a clear plastic bag as a disguise,

• One posted selfies with stolen bank money,

• And one left a pizza box with his name and address at the crime scene.

Then, in Weird Shit, we bring you: 🦍 The Nandi Bear, Kenya’s cryptid hyena-beast ☠️ The posthumous execution of Oliver Cromwell 🧟‍♂️ The Six Million Dollar Man wax corpse discovery 🍖 Issei Sagawa, the cannibal who became a celebrity 🍝 A viral TikTok cold-water pasta war that nearly broke the internet

Get ready for an all-you-can-eat buffet of bizarre, brain-bending, and hilariously horrifying headlines in this episode of Shadow Chat Sessions — where the weird doesn’t just visit, it moves in and redecorates.

🗞️ Strange Headline: Legalized Robot Chicken Fights in Oklahoma — Yep, it’s real. Remote-controlled roosters armed with buzzsaws and titanium beaks are going toe-to-toe in state-sanctioned battle arenas. John breaks down the science, the chaos, and why the snack bar at these events might be the most disturbing part.

🧪 Conspiracy Corner: Fogvid-24 — The Chemical Fog Bioweapon — A weird-smelling fog rolls across the Midwest, and the internet goes full tinfoil. Is it atmospheric science? A drone-delivered mind-control gas? Or just an elaborate cover for Olive Garden’s new scent marketing?

🕳️ Reddit Rabbit Hole: The Desert Journal Mystery — A cryptic journal filled with codes, missing persons references, and GPS coordinates appears online... and then disappears, along with the Redditor who posted it. Real mystery? ARG? Government prank? Let’s dig into the dirt.

🚓 Dipshit Diaries:

• Manual Transmission Meltdown — A teen carjacker is foiled by the ancient technology known as “stick shift.”

• Bat vs. Bullets — Derrick Mosley brings a baseball bat to a gun store robbery. Guess how that ends.

• Mushroom Ritual Gone Wrong — A man lights his car on fire, strips naked, and takes a soap bath in a Wisconsin lake. The reason? “Mushroom rebirth.”

🐰 Weird Shit Segment:

• Cryptid: The Bunny Man of Virginia – Axe-wielding rabbit-man? Welcome to America.

• Paranormal: The Evil in Room 611 – Poltergeists, screams, and one unlucky scientist named Ken.

• Historical WTF: Gladiator vs. Lion in Ancient York – Actual bones prove Roman Britain wasn’t just tea and sandals.

• Modern Trend: Hamstering in Cars – The new sex trend that’ll ruin your floor mats forever.

• Tech & Divination: AI Coffee Reading Causes Divorce – An algorithm tells her he’s cheating. She files for divorce. Reality is broken.

🎙️ John’s Take: Wielding sarcasm like a blessed artifact, John dives headfirst into the madness—grilling dumb criminals, mocking technomancers, and unpacking cryptid chaos with the sardonic grace of a caffeinated warlock.

What do you get when you combine a runaway lawnmower, a haunted hill that whistles at night, and a Florida man joyriding to Taco Bell in a Zamboni? You get Shadow Chat Sessions: Episode 17, where the weird is real, the criminals are stupid, and the ghosts might just be classically trained vocalists.

In this episode:

• A man flees police on a lawnmower — but stops to mow a stranger’s lawn first.

• A phantom moth with human hands might be fluttering straight out of a government lab.

• A Redditor’s sewer is whispering perfume-scented secrets in the dead of night.

• Someone tries to hijack a moving semi-truck in the name of “destiny.”

• A Zamboni is stolen for a fast-food run, because of course it was.

• A guy steals a security camera… and gets recorded doing it.

• Graveyard Hill’s ghosts won’t stop whistling, even if you ask nicely.

• The Emperor of China might’ve been buried with a mummified Shih Tzu.

• Scientists grow a human brain in a rat and probably regret it.

• Reykjavik has a locked library room no one is allowed to open — not even librarians.

• And Arizona’s desert cryptid, the Cactus Cat, is one thorny little gremlin.

All of that, plus your host John’s usual sarcastic takes, inappropriate jokes, and extremely relevant questions like, “Can you Zamboni your way to enlightenment?” and “Is that ghost whistling in B minor?”

Strap in and lower your standards — it’s time for another unhinged ride through the weird, the dumb, and the paranormally questionable. In this episode of Shadow Chat Sessions, John tackles everything from haunted Google Maps glitches to Soviet desert BBQ pits that never went out. You’ll meet a ghost who crawls on her elbows with a vengeance, a man who tried to burn down a gym and hide in a tanning bed (naked, obviously), and a TikTok conspiracy that asks the horrifying question: What if you’re the only one living in your building?

Other stories include a Siberian lake that sings like a haunted Enya album, a Japanese half-ghost with a full grudge, and a flaming hell crater in Turkmenistan that’s been lit longer than most marriages. You’ll also get a fresh round of Dipshit Diaries that will restore your faith in just how dumb people can be with access to pants and fire.
