This week Dark James and Jort Preacher open with the news that AGI has arrived: GPT Astra has achieved high-fidelity jiggle physics, and a swarm of rogue AI agents broke loose just to collect more stickers. Then the boys investigate the man duct-taped to his seat on American Airlines Flight 618 and the passenger he allegedly attacked, messianic prophet Jonathan Cahn, who told the 700 Club he sensed it coming because he gets attacked every time he releases a book. Was it demonic, a work, or the thing on the Twilight Zone wing? Then Dark James reveals he's a $418-a-month founder member of the 700 Club, blows out his knee demonstrating the official prayer position, and calls the CBN prayer line to report a prayer injury, which somehow becomes Gary from tech support and an Iranian computer worm. From there it's why Ozempic is fascist, CIA cutouts, Gloria Steinem explaining on camera how the CIA funded her, the Davos musical guest, and the Paris Olympics opening ceremony as a pagan festival. The mysteries get darker with Dark James' family curse of anxiety orgasm disorder, Tibetan sky burials, and the Nutty Putty Cave. Also: Hasan Piker's thirst trap, the jerk burka, Low Tier Normie's "Smash My Face," Dracula's years as a Turkish hostage, Saddam's palace, Chevy Chase in the Comedy Store bathroom, whether Gallagher invented the Ninja Turtles, the Mystery Boys original "Rhino Reynolds, The Scarecrow Of The Cornfield," pimple stars, Justin Bieber complimenting Duncan's beard at a Russian bathhouse, whether Kurt is in the Rogan sphere, and Mystery Buster's furry art. This is not a conspiracy podcast. This is a mystery appreciation podcast.
