Attention
https://mitchhorowitz.substack.com/p/when-an-eminent-scientist-says-magic
00:00:00 – Cold Open & “Hey yo,
Crypto!”
Loose banter to kick off the show—traffic stories, neighborhood
oddities, and warming up the mics with goofy “hey yo, Crypto”
riffs.
00:04:51 – Alex Jones Clip Week
(Set-up)
Wednesday means AJ clip roundup: shock jock non-sequiturs,
late-night “after hours” imagery, and the crew joking through it
before the real topics.
00:09:41 – Sparkle Shine Story
Time
More outrageous AJ pulls (MLK jokes, “story time” bits),
production/computer gripe gags, and the pivot promise: Bigfoot,
alien DNA, and a little politics coming up.
00:14:42 – American Sasquatch Trailer (Part
1)
New David Paulides doc American
Sasquatch: Man, Myth or Monster—tying Bigfoot with orbs/UFOs;
Stan Gordon mentioned; “primate vs. paranormal” split
highlighted.
00:19:02 – American Sasquatch (Part 2: Why it
matters)
Hosts like the “all phenomena connected” framing; recall to
Missing 411 overlaps
(hunters, lights, UFOs, vanishings).
00:23:05 – Paulides’ Backstory & Production
Notes
Paulides’ own channel intro: project is separate from Missing 411, late-Nov 2025
premiere targeted (Seattle), and rallying viewers to share the
trailer. Rights/access chatter on National Parks filming too.
00:28:42 – Bigfoot Takeaways &
Pivot
Panel leans paranormal/portal-adjacent Bigfoot; Nick Redfern shout;
then tee-up to “alien DNA” story next.
00:33:34 – “Alien DNA in Humans?” (Part
1)
Daily Mail–driven item: Dr. Max Rampell claims non-parental genetic
segments in some families; abductee self-reports folded in; lots of
caveats; calls for whole-genome sequencing.
00:38:27 – “Alien DNA” (Part 2: Skeptics &
Methods)
Notes on cultured-cell artifacts, small samples, 23andMe array
limits; suggestion of future high-res sequencing; ethical questions
and sci-culture snark about officialdom’s silence.
00:43:21 – From Bombshells to
Orbs
“Bombshell” button gag; then quick hop to a Stan Gordon blog
mention about low-level orbs in Pennsylvania and long-running
orb/UFO anomaly talk.
00:47:58 – Dean Radin & Real
Magic
Deep dive into Radin’s work (psi, mind-matter, precognition),
frustration with “pseudo-skepticism,” and the idea that persistent
anomalies deserve serious study.
00:52:51 – Skeptics vs.
Unknowns
Philosophical riff: comfort with ambiguity vs. compulsive
debunking; why people cling to narrow materialism; when to leave
mysteries open.
00:57:31 – National Guard, Protests & Precedent
(Part 1)
Guard deployments crossing state lines; GOP misgivings on executive
overreach vs. “what’s your plan?”; comparisons to past riot
responses.
01:01:56 – National Guard, Protests & Precedent
(Part 2)
Operation-Gladio-style “provocateurs” mused; culture-war optics;
inflatable dinosaur/unicorn/raccoon protest costumes; absurdity of
the zeitgeist.
01:06:07 – Culture-War Theater & AI
Imagery
Jokes about generating protest images (mascot chaos); grim note
that we’re flirting with civil conflict; meme clips and “Trump
dance” mashups.
01:11:00 – Gummy-Bear
Hospitalization
UK trucker eats 6.6 lbs of gummies in 3 days → severe GI issues,
ICU, recovery; candy-bucket jokes, theater contraband bits, and
sympathy laughs.
01:16:00 – Gummy-Bear Aftermath & Visual
Gags
More on symptoms/recovery; swapping images (costumed protesters vs.
“actual” dinos); “what are they protesting?” silliness.
01:20:27 – Palisades Fire Arrest (Part
1)
Breaking: LA’s Pacific Palisades arson suspect ID’d; phone/geodata,
videos, and… prompts from ChatGPT found; celebrities lost homes;
climate-blame vs. arson debate.
01:25:07 – Palisades Fire Arrest (Part
2)
More affidavit bits: location pings, 911 attempts, device records,
“are you at fault if…” chat query; investigators’ read on creating
exculpatory narrative.
01:30:01 – “He Started the
Fire”
Host debuts a Billy-Joel-rhythm parody about the blaze (without the
melody), planning to play it at show’s end; segues to EU
balloon/drone stories.
01:34:47 – Lithuania’s Cigarette
Balloons
Hot-air balloons ferrying smuggled cigs into EU airspace, airport
temporarily closed; thousands of packs recovered; why not shoot
them down? Tax avoidance economics.
01:39:50 – “Majestic Tiger” LEGO…with a
Butt
Hilarious/earnest review of LEGO set 31129—the infamous “butthole
tiger.” Design choices, Technic part constraints, and why the
detail exists.
01:44:32 – Golf With a
Gator
Pro calmly blasts from a water’s edge bunker as a six-foot
alligator watches; caddie earns hazard pay; jokes about rolled pant
legs vs. “real man” wet pants.
01:49:16 – Underwear Identifies
Robber
Dave’s Hot Chicken robbery suspect nabbed because surveillance
caught his distinctive True Religion underwear; ski mask & briefs
banter ensues.
01:54:11 – 11 Foods to Avoid at Dine-In
Theaters
Loaded nachos chaos, chip-bag noise, ice-cream melt bombs—practical
etiquette rant about smelly, messy, loud choices in dark rooms.
01:58:38 – …And More Theater Food
Crimes
Tacos, onion rings, garlic, curry—crime scene odors; quick
housekeeping: no Saturday show; cosplay jokes (Hulk Hogan + giant
inhaler).
02:03:07 – Wrap-Up & Plugs
Patreon/back catalog plug, program notes, “watch the skies… and the
cig-balloons,” sign-offs leading into a final sting.
02:06:35 – Tag: Sparkle Shine Story Time
(Stinger)
A final quick “sparkle/drag story time” callback.
02:10:26 – Play-Out: “He Started the Fire”
(Full)
The parody lyric rolls over the credits with wildfire imagery
word-play to close the episode.
