She cracked me out the first time I heard it. He did a fantastic job. Yeah, and Tyler, you put together the the the visual for it right, it's not. I I feel like Jason did a better job at the the audio like it looks cool, but I feel like his part makes it that makes it better. By var I had a funny message from him, if I can pull it up here that was cracking me up. He said, uh, okay. One he said, remind me to never freeze frame in your presence and he said, he said, uh, where's that here? Also, I've watched today's episode like twice in the beginning of it, like two hundred times. That's pretty awesome. Yeah. Wait for those
2:45 of you wondering about our usual intro, lady uh not gonna not gonna put out her business on the on the injurwebs. But she's unavailable for personal reasons. So I hope they won't meet up with her again. Yeah, once once her life is straightened out. Yeah, that'd be great. I meantime, it's nice having the four toll fiction guys. Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm glad that Jason was available for that one that uh, they were actually gonna like I was gonna say, it's like, hey, we need I could try to do a Bridges accident, but it's gonna be tough, and I don't know if I could ever sound like her. You might have to like pitch my voice, Like I know, I'm to have the deepest voice. Let's let's hear it, Like, yeah, let's hear do it, Catherine. Yeah, you never know. This could be season five stuff. Mm hmm uh. Welcome to your Kentucky X Files with your hosts Dennis Mays, Josh Gibbs, and Tyler Stewart. Yeah, she always puts more emphasis on Stuart. Yeah, Stuart, Yeah, we noticed that like
4:19 a couple of seasons back. I don't know what's up with that, but Stewart, I just don't like that because you guys do that when we're playing video games yet Starret Tarretta, well you guys a letter kidding him. Uh yeah, We're playing ARC with our buddy Bangs and Tyler jumped on and we're building something and I was like, what are you doing? And for like the next thirty five minutes solid, we were like, we're building Tierra Tyler, Tia, Tia. It was. It was a good fifteen minutes or so, and un Tiler's like, hate you guys so much, like please friends like these friends like these Yeah, we thought it was funny. Yeah, I can see where you would be annoyed. Tyler. Oh yeah yeah it was bad. It's kind of like the Mayrin Ea thing. That's still funny. Yeah, here NAIs. It wasn't Tyler me Narraw, me and Tyler got some gaming in yesterday. It was it was uh I but like we went in optimistic. Yeah, yeah, we went in optimistic. Let's
5:53 just say that we're not getting invited to like tournaments any no, no, he turned into like six solid hours of getting our asses just handed to us, like left and right. You were gaming for six hours? Holy crap, how do you do that? How do you do that? It was so awesome. It's like those little those sessions don't happen very often, but when they do, goddamn it, it's cherished. Yeah, we're playing Marauders. Have you ever heard of that one? Uh huh, that's uh. It's like an alternate future, like kind of the steampunk is. Uh, it's like futuristic space stuff, but there's like World War two guns and things like that in it. Okay, it's interesting. Yeah, you basically jump in a ship and you go to this area to try to get in there and raid and steal stuff and bring it back to sell it. But there's other there's all these other players doing the same thing. So uh, you know, they if they see you, they're they're gonna shoot you and take your shit. And they always took our ship. They just took our ship left and right. They say it was bad, even stole a ship from us at one point, which was probably not. Yeah, that wasn't a good call on my part at all. Did jump up by a twenty thousand dollars ship. This can be awesome. And as soon as we like started flying to the raid, We're like, we're totally losing this fucking ship.
7:26 This ship's getting stolen like immediately. And I'm just saying I didn't help the situation by shooting Denny in the face at that time. Oh wow, oh you got some friendly fire. Yeah oh yeah, yeah, there's no tags, there's no name tags. Hey, you know what to Tyler's defense, though, I ran up, saw an enemy and I pulled my gun up, and then I realized that I brought no ammunition with me, so it was just click click click click click. I started backing up up, and I backed right into Tyler when he was trying to shoot at the guy, and then he blasted me. So I was like, that's my that's on me, that's my fault. There's that's you know. That's funny. Yeah, so yeah, it was. It's pretty fun. It was kind of rainy yesterday anyway. Yeah. Uh, good day, good day, good day, good day, good day. Oh man, m So what are we what are we getting into today? I've got something that's kind of weird.
8:37 If we want to talk about it, I'm down Okay, ship going on in Texas and not what you think. I know, there's a lot of stuff going on in Texas, but this is not that. It's a city of Austin. There's an area called Ladybird Lake and in the land since see July of twenty twenty two to a few days ago, we're looking at ten deaths with closed investigations, no fil playlisted, and everything's accident on drowning.
9:24 That's kind of interesting. Yeah, yeah, I thought it was. I thought it was interesting. The uh, the weird thing is is that it's like it's all guys except for I believe one or two. Yeah, I know, it looks like only one the one female is unidentified, but the other nine look to be male. And they're just saying that there's no foul play whatsoever. Yeah, yeah, they said that. You know, people keep saying that, you know, this is a serial killer, but there's no evidence towards that. They're blaming alcohol and access to the lake.
10:11 I just want to know, like how I know there's like there's a there's a big process and going through determining if it's foul play, but it's like, like, what will definitively say that none of these has file play at all, Like is it because that the lack of evidence and they're just doing the normal like this this is a common thing, and if it's a common thing, then maybe we need to start regulating the drinking of the consumption of alcohol at this fucking lake. Right, So I'm messueing crap. I don't know how to find it. I just did something I've never done before, which is where you like use your mouse to do a screen shot, and I don't know where it went. That's screct, you know what. I'm just gonna like, I'm just gonna share screen So I want you to see the uh. I want you to see the lake in question here. Okay, So this is a long, narrow lake. So there's actually like like city on both sides of this, correct. Yeah, this isn't like an out in the country lake like we're thinking of like Cumberland or something. This is uh this is looks almost to be like a river, but it's actually
11:45 a lake. So what's the Oh Okay, I see the color difference now, so yeah, the purple ones are the ones there from twenty two Yellows twenty three Christs in the Red or from this year. Yes see. You know, it's like there's no rhyme or reason to it. You know, I don't know. I don't know what is in these buildings down through here to you know, be like, hey are these bars? I'm sure there are bars and restaurants close to any water source. That's like a super popular thing to do in metropolitan area, you know. Yeah, but it's weird that it's like it stops right here, you know, because it obviously keeps going and it also goes way up into here, So why does it stop here? To hear this is like what is this one? It's like what hell? It's way bigger because they're the man their grid systems. Weird.
13:01 Yeah, that's really weird. It's like twenty blocks, Uh go to the left? Like could you pull it to the left, yes, sir? Which way up down? Like yeah, follow the lake? Okay. I was just wondering, like, okay, this seems a little bit of rule more rural area. Yeh. What I was just trying to say is what's the current? Like current like what like do you think they just got trapped in that area? But they were dropped out at like a higher point in the in this lake. I don't know that there's going to be a current, But I don't know, you know, I don't know. I you know, it's hard to say. I'd have to actually look the lake itself up, and I can do that real quick. Let's see. Yeah, I mean it looks like it looks like a river. It really does.
14:13 Yeah. Yeah, I never knew, Like, so what classifies like a river versus a lake? I thought a lake is a big well, it's like a larger pond or something like that. Like it's not, but a river isn't. Actually it looks like basically a road almost. Yeah, I hear. Like the history of it is a It was created in nineteen sixty as a river like reservoir. Yeah, it's part of the Colorado River. It's been damned. It's also being illegal to swim in it for quite a long time. Yeah. The blue green algae is toxic. It's killed at least five dogs. Yeah, there's a band on swimming, and since nineteen sixty four, the fines five hundred dollars if they catch you. But you can kayak in it, apparently, I mean that makes fuck all sense, you know, Yeah, I mean, look at all these people on boats.
15:26 It doesn't look like it has a current. It looks still. Yeah, but I really hope that every picture I click on is going to be Lady Burger. Yeah. See, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, it's it's stocked. It's you're allowed to fish, you're allowed to keep fish out of it. Fishing is regulated as per usual the rest of the United States daily bag and length limits largemouth bass, catfish, carp sunfish. Excessive high levels of chloridine found in the fish, which is a pesticide. It was banned. Let's see here, it was banned in nineteen eighty eight. I'm trying to figure out the reasoning behind it. So, okay, exposure to the compound is linked to cancer's, diabetes, and neurological disorders. Hm. That doesn't say where they like came out, like where they you know, where they got it from. Damn, I didn't know
16:59 pesticide give you diabetes. Yeah. It also has a half life environmental half life of ten to twenty years, So it's like it doesn't just go away like very quickly, you know, like it hangs around. So would it be terrible to actually eat like you said that, you can keep these fish? Wouldn't it be kind of bad to eat. I know, if it's anything like the Ohio. It's like, you know, they want you to limit any kind of like bottom feeding fish to like once a month because of mercury. So yeah, that makes sense because like pregnant women aren't supposed to eat fish because of the mercury. Alright, let's see, I'm trying to find out like, what's uh, what are the potential health effects of people who eat fish contaminated with chlordine. Long term exposures to high doses caused adverse health effects including liver damage, reproductive damage, developmental damage, but it doesn't sayintment. Yeah, I think I'm i founder here toxicity How much can you eat and be okay? Which I think is hilarious. I've always thought this was funny. It's like it's super poisonous, but you could probably eat one
18:29 or two and be okay. What why it's super poisonous you just said it, Yeah, but probably be a great Yeah, yeah, you eat one or two. Okay. So I'm looking at some of this and the first guy was in his fifties and they just found him floating. The second guy, Yeah, I didn't get a clear answer on The third guy was a murder victim, so there's actually a foul play in that one I'm going through. But they're all in there, Like so far, they've been all in their like their forties and fifties. Let's see what this guy is if I can get anything from you. This guy's fifty decent, so the Sarah killer is targeting middle middle aged up. This guy was thirty, so thirty year olds are not safe either. No, I'm just I'm all in on a serial killer. I'm all in. I'm like, there's a serial killer.
19:37 This guy was forty. This guy was thirty three. Uh, this guy doesn't have an age, but he had a twelve year old son, So that guy gives you a range. Let's see here. This guy doesn't have any information. But what I'm getting at with this is all of these are people that know better. Do you follow me out? Like these These aren't sixteen to twenty five year olds out doing goofy shit, you know what I mean? Yeah? These are these are older people, like you know, just do they have like that kind of tendencies? Like these are not like you're older people that I guess like they're not like they never grew up or
21:07 something. You get what we're saying are like almost like homeless people or something like that. No, these are all people that had lives and lives. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, is like, what you're saying is that I don't know what they're professionals. Yeah, sorry about that, Mike Smack the good question. Let's let's go back there and see if we can find something on that I didn't look at that. It doesn't tell me we'd had to go through and let's search all the od bits to do that. I'm sure. But you know, all of them are male except for one.
21:57 All of them are over thirty, you know. And here's the thing, is like, like it would make sense to me if these were all, you know, early twenties people, because you know those people go out by themselves and meet up with friends and separate, you know what I mean, Like, I don't know. It just feels weird that a fifty six year old person would just fall in and drown after partying, you know what I mean, like being drunk and falling into lake. Yeah, and that's what they deemed it. As as of now, no foul play investigation has been closed. That's that's Ricky Parks. No fil play. Christopher Caeterrez, no file play. Josuay moreno is the murder victim, Kyle Thornton, no file play. Jason John accidental drowning. It's an actual cause of death, untermined.
23:04 Jonathan Honey, accidental drowning, Christopher Clark, no foul play, Moga, Doug Galley. Uh this is not being investigated as a homicide. And then the unidentified female is also the same thing, not identify, not being ruled homicide. Uh m hm, strange, you know what I mean, like for that to go on. But maybe it's just because the news is putting a focus on it, you know, this is this is something like you know, it might be the hyperfixation that makes it strange. Like maybe we should pull up and see in another metropolitan area, say like the banks of Cincinnati, you know, and see if there's a big map of deaths surrounding that. Okay, in the meantime, we should probably chit chat.
24:22 Yeah, we could use it. I mean, we can use this as maybe a control. But I don't have a list of I don't have a list of people found in ten days. No, no, no, this is not ten days this is between July fourteenth, twenty twenty two, and the fifth of this month. Okay, all right, so that's you know, like, just see if you can find anything. I'm trying to think, is there any other major metropolitan areas that sit on water like that, like in Pittsburgh or one of those. Probably not a great idea to search the deaths in Pittsburgh, though, because I'm sure that map is a lot more colorful. I don't know. Is Austin, Texas a violent city?
25:22 I don't still't know how you can't say any city is not a violent city. Like looks like about eight people have drowned in the Ohio River since twenty twenty two. Okay, so that's not Maybe this is, yeah, just sensationalized news. Yeah, you know, to be fair about it, you know, I don't want to push for all that now that it could just very well be since you know, the news pushing agenda. Do yeah, some ad space because I don't know if you noticed or not, but one I shared my screen it's literally packed full of ads. Yeah, And I think that's the sickest part. I think the one of the memes I saw recently, it was like it was like help Giant Giant smart robot creating ads to make to get clicks, and I was like, there's that AI stuff we were talking about. Yeah, yeah, it's It's funny. Recently a scene where people were talking basically talking about how if you put something substantial out, something real, it barely ever gets any notice. But if you generate, you know, a clickable heading could have very little to do with what you're actually talking about and it'll just get blown up. Oh yeah, yeah,
26:55 and it's it's it goes with the same thing of there's an old saying that if you if you need the answer to something, if you have a question about something and you need the answer, you don't ask the question. You make the statement of what it is you're thinking about, and make sure that you say it's wrong, and then a thousand people will correct you. You know. That's that's you know, like say, if you you know just anything, you know, anything like what temperature to make a turkey at, you know, you don't ask the internet of that. You say, if you're baking a turkey, bake it as six hundred for twelve hours, you know, and then everybody's going to be jumping on the bandwagon to roast you. But if you ask the question, it'll be crickets. And it's been like that since the Internet was invented. Oh yeah, it's a scary fucking times. You know. I saw recently a post done where it was one of the cryptid groups you know, where the guy literally said that he had posted, uh, he'd posted topics that'd get no response whatsoever. He posted questions, they get nothing, you know. But he pulls a clip of a well known like you know, big foot clip or whatever that's all over the Internet, and he puts it up there and it just puts a question mark on it, and uh, it gets blown up. Yeah,
28:33 it's yeah, we like the chase. The chase is better than the catch. Yeah. Well, we also like to show ourselves as being smarter than other people. I think that's part of it, you know, is that's guy's an idiot on my prof He's an idiot, and I'm gonna feel better about myself because of it. You know. It is funny though, you think right now we've got like uh chat you know open Aiyes, the chat GPT and uh, you know, obviously like a lot of the image ais and all that going on. But we're not even in the next level, like the next stage of computing yet. Can you imagine when these things are being run by like you know, atomic computers, you know what I mean, like atomic computers that are like processing so much more, like nothing will be real, nothing will be believable. News will literally be a thing of the past. I mean, it's it's even more than that already. Look at look at real Engine five. Yeah, have you seen the trailers with stuff they're doing with real engine or unreal Engine? Yeah? Combining that with with deep fake, dude, Like it's right, how long is it before someone gets convicted of something because there's video evidence created by one of these you
30:10 know what I mean? It's dangerous, man, But yeah, I know there's ways to get a rim that, like to figure out a fait like fake like if it's been altered in any way, But I don't know if it's generated from the ground up. Nothing has been altered to the like video said or said picture, How could you tell if it was fake or not if it was generated from the ground up, that's true. Yeah, I'm just the reason I brought this up was because you take, okay take they found some drowning victims. Okay, yea. And since there's a cluster of them, how many of these news are holes are being generated by AI to push a more exciting narrative. If you said, if you, I mean, if you, if you lay it right out like the way we're wired, you know, like if you come out and say, like, yeah, you know, there were some drowning victims down at Ladybird Lake and it's very sad. That's yeah, that sucks man. Fuck yeah. But then you put out an article that says possible serial killer, right, you know, it's like all of a sudden, you're like, oh shit, oh
31:40 bro, like there's a serial killer. This is exciting, this is scary. I want you to see this. I'm just I'm gonna keep us from getting hurt here, So I'm just gonna scroll back and forth a little bit. This is a video game. Oh yeah, yeah, it's crazy. That is not real. Yeah, that's generated. Yeah that does not look fake. That's insanity. Yeah. Then that's what we're coming up with.
32:23 Now, imagine imagine where we're going to be at in ten years. Yeah, because they can go to these places and scan them, scan them in using SODAR. Now, and then loaded into the unreal and then repopulated. Well, isn't there like, isn't there a game where you can be like a long haul trucker And don't they use like Google Maps like traveling traveling real highways and stuff. Yeah, it's a semi simulator or big truck simulator. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get on every now and again and watch them guys play that. But they built their giant monitor rig, you know, and they got the shifter and like everything, and uh, I've sat there and added up the cost of that whole setup and you could just get a CDL for what that costs. And I thought it was cool, but you know, but then and then you got a thing too. Is like that actually will pay you money unless you're Yeah, I mean most of the guys there's big time streamers, so they're making good money. They're probably making good money. If the streamer who's pretending to drive a truck begins to make more money than an actual truck driver, I would I mean, I would feel a little weird about that. Like I'm sure that's already happened, bubble.
33:54 Yeah. Probably. I love watching them take take turns and just white out multiple cars and just keep on going like nothing happened. Yeah, like I mean, but if you look at those like streaming platforms, those guys on Twitch, and you see the donation scrolling across the top, I mean, if they've traveled like less than a mile, and yeah, if somebody donates ten dollars, they've already made more than a CDL driver. That's true. Yeah, I'm getting paid more to drive a fake truck online than to drive a real one in life. Isn't that? We are we are in a simulation. We have to be Oh man, I hate the I hate the simulation theory because you can't disprove it. There's no Yeah, there's no disproving it because everything there's no there's no control. Uh you know an element to that theory, you know, it could be uh it could be like, well what about this. They'll be like, well the simulation could have created that. Yeah. Yeah, some of those things are insane. I'm trying to find it. Yeah. Uh, there was a picture here somewhere this one guy set up. It was pretty It's pretty impressive if I'm being
35:24 honest, But I can't find it. Who knows where it's at? But it hits everything it's got the air brakespan, the trailer supply shifter, you know, even had the little you know, air horned thing. I'm like, dude, driving fucking truck. Right, how much of your living room is? This is the setup? You know? Right? It's kind of like the flight simulator guys. You know, yeah, I mean, okay, so I'm on that one. I'm a little like okay, because you know what i mean, it's a less accessible trade. Like if you were sitting in your house playing and playing a flight simulator and you had this full setup and you're just like having a blast, I wouldn't be like, Josh, go get a fucking pilotle license. Uh right, I'd be like that's badass. But with like a truck, you know, like a semi, I'm like, you know, or it just like we could say that about that about farm simulator. That's like, yeah, that is true. If you want to go playing potatoes, good playing potatoes, Like, do you want to go broke? Play that game with landis yeah? Oh yeah yeah.
36:45 He takes out like two hundred thousand dollars and loans, buys all this farm equipment and sells like eight thousand dollars worth of potatoes. Then then we're all sitting there like what He's like, Yeah, you've been out. In the end, he pretty much admitted that he sabotaged us in that game. That's hilarious. Yeah, it's fair enough. I guess. I don't know. I just feel like it's you know, like if you could play a game where you're like, you know, like the One of the the one that's out right now where you go, you're Lord of the Rings, You're the Dwarves, and you're trying to retake Maria, right right. You can't do that in real life. That's cool, Go do it. That's fun.
37:29 Yeah. I saw a game called pressure Washer Simulator. Hmm yeah, yes, Now I'm like why, I think it's a lawnmower simulator lomower simulator. So okay, I might have an answer for those, because I know the one you're talking about. It's kind of like a house flipper where you pressure wash the house and you pain stuff. It's the it's the gratification of how satisfying it is what a pressure washer happens, you know. Yeah.
38:10 I don't think it's necessarily aimed at people like us. I think it's more aimed at people who even if they owned a pressure washer, they have nothing to pressure wash. You know, I gotcha. Yeah, like apartment dwellers, condo dwellers, that sort. You know. I'm just saying they're not the person that pitched that idea to make that type of simulator. I'd be like, we're we're getting into the like the minute, like Nietzsche niche here for people that would enjoy this type of game, and somebody literally like this, Yes, let's throw thousands of dollars in developing this game and waste people's time for like, I wonder how much that that game is. If it's fifty bucks. If it's close to fifty bucks, I will be pissed.
39:09 Okay, good, thank you. At least it's ten bucks. It's ten bucks. I think I might be able to let me see if I can share. Is it gonna let me? It looks like a blank screen? Okay, let's try this one. Has that been working? Yeah? Yes? Oh oh I think it's because I yeah, so you see here you can just you can just pressure wash everything. Look at that. Oh there we go. Wow, it's satisfying. You have to admit, right, that's not how a pressure works. No, why would you pressure watching TV?
40:07 Yeah? Or the cat I mean yeah, look at that brand new, just like brand new. I'll take the graffiti off and then just cleaning the graffiti, all right. Yeah, we've gotta we've gotta, we've gotta make some sense of this. Yeah. So yeah, and it has mixed reviews. It's kind of it's like man kind of sad. Yeah, what's the reviews say? Here? Smooth turning and free movement satisfying. I guess it's a VR game. Oh, it's like there's some it's like there's some problems with it. They're they're working them out. They're gonna work them out.
41:00 So the mixed reviews aren't because of the game itself, like as far as the activity in the game, it's because it's glickbal Yeah, it's just technical issues glitches and stuff. Yeah, I didn't get this pristine, my pristine, uh washing this car, it's glitched, like it glitched me out and I didn't get it pristine. One guy said that he spawned in in the in the ground like it was he was in the in the textures. Oh that's common. I mean that even happens on like seven days to Die and Ship. Yeah, that's yeah. I don't know. I've seen all kinds of like taxi cab simulators and yeah, you know, one of my favorite, uh, one of my favorite VR games that my kids had on the PlayStation was Job Simulator. Mm. Yeah, were you doing like you could be like a Cashiert grocery store. God, the some of the videos I've seen it that hilarious, so hilarious to play that game. That one was fun. That one was was a good time because it was you know, I mean it was it was satirical. It wasn't like I was actually doing a realistic job, you know. Yeah, like if you're the gas station attendant and you're like you're chunking bottles with the people to come in.
42:20 Yeah, you know, I love you. Then there was a sequel that I never got to play called Vacation Simulator, like how Long Before You basically uh how long before? Like life, it literally is fulfilling things in a simulator. This has been the same. It's like, hey, kids, We're going to go on vacation. You just guys just sitting in the living room. Everybody's gonna be our homet on. This is great. I love Hawaii. Getting sunburned it dad, I'm surfing son. Yeah, cowabunka dude.
43:19 Yeah, I don't know if it was true. Okay, since we're talking about this, Okay, the new like like that Apple headset now like it's see through goggles. It's like the new like Google glasses ran over pedestrian simulator. I remember hearing about this. Yeah, like no freaking uh. A guy is watching a guy in a uh one of those cyber trucks, the Tesla cyber truck, and he's doing stuff with that fucking thing too. Why driving, Well, the truck is driving, yeah I know. Oh yeah, cyber truck. Yeah. C does this Apple VR come with the Maybe that's a good that's a good investment. I think everybody should get that, right, you know what, You gotta get that low end, right, you feel that low end and you're low in. It's all about the base. But yeah, like we can't freaking uh are we literally going down that road right now? I think I feel like we are. I feel like fifty years from now, people are gonna be starving to death because literally it's gonna be like, uh, ten dead bodies found next to ladybird Lake,
44:52 all starved to death because they were hit VR for too long. I think it's a real thing too, isn't it. Can't you get Arthur? Wasn't there somebody that did a study on that. Were they like they were so engrossed in the VR that the probably the br
