Ep. 159 - “Dawson’s Crik”

What happens when you take the world’s first fully mapped fruit-fly brain—every neuron and pathway digitized and open-sourced—and force it to live through the things no human simulation is allowed to show? In this episode, Paranoid American walks us through theflybrain.com, the project where a real fruit-fly connectome rides Disney’s Haunted Mansion, reenacts Back to the Future and The Matrix shot-for-shot, receives a full Masonic Third Degree (and a 31st Degree Scottish Rite), gets baptized, loses its head to a guillotine while still recording what its compound eyes see, and even survives the Skull & Bones ritual complete with the details YouTube’s sensors can’t quite flag because… it’s just a fly. The science is legit. The applications are unhinged. And the rabbit hole goes from “can a fly have a soul?” to people genuinely demanding the digital insect get a break from the trauma.We also dig into how the simulations are built in real time on a 4090, why the fly can get away with blood, nudity, and secret rituals that would get a human channel banned, the unexpected backlash from both scientists and conspiracy theorists, and the guest’s other work—including the Illuminati comic that outsold Charlamagne tha God’s with zero advertising. Expect Fred Durst jokes, adrenochrome logistics, Project Acoustic Kitty, napalm bats, and a guest who treats a dead fly’s brain like the ultimate sandbox for exploring initiation, media, and what happens when technology lets you ask questions no one else will touch.

Nicole joins Bill and Ted for a raw, no-filter conversation about the moment the scales fell from her eyes. A decades-long battle with endometriosis left her deeply distrustful of the medical system—then COVID and a bizarre Planned Parenthood advocacy detour cracked everything open, sending her down the rabbit hole of Pizzagate, Fall of Cabal, mystery school initiations, and trauma as spiritual curriculum.What follows is a wild ride through gematria synchronicities, holographic simulation theory, real demonic encounters from childhood, a miraculous healing that ended 25 years of chronic agony, and why she believes the institutional church is often run by the enemy. She unpacks blood sacrifice (from Hollywood to abortion), the call to surrender to Jesus over ego-driven New Age spirituality, and practical ways to stay grounded while the world gets stranger. If you’re done with surface-level takes and ready for someone who learned the dark so she could consciously choose the light, this episode is for you.Follow Nicole on X: https://x.com/missnic06?s=11&t=li7tEjPy3INBrhHG-3YluA

This episode Bill and I go through posts the people have sent us in our DMs and discuss. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll want to punch a government official.

Three years to the day and the official October 7th story still doesn’t make sense. The stand-down orders, funded militants, burned cars that look familiar to other events, and footage that does not quite behave like true panic while the anniversary itself arrives bundled with a conveniently timed Mall of America ISIS arrest, and a reminder that the old names will not be touched, per Trump.

In this first-time appearance, Flat Earth Barbie sits down with the PhoneBooth crew for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that jumps from Vegas nightlife to vaccine injury, autism, spiritual warfare, and the moment a six-hour documentary flipped her world. She traces her path from multiple banned X accounts and a dark “black pill” stretch to sobriety, holistic health, silver stacking, and the handle that now doubles as both brand and signal to other truthers. Along the way she recounts childhood same-day vaccine injuries, the two-year wait for an adult autism diagnosis that never quite materialized, an Eyes Wide Shut-style invitation that vanished after she started posting, and the strange mix of atmosphere modeling, trade-show work, and late-night club life that put her in rooms most people only see in movies.What emerges is less a tidy conversion story than a portrait of someone who kept looking under rocks—9/11, Bitcoin origins, banking cartels, occult imagery, terrain theory, and the shape of the earth—until the weight of it all forced a complete rebuild. She talks about the “spiritual law of consent,” why she still sees community as the pressure valve that keeps people from drowning, and the white-pill conviction that there’s a Creator, real health, and more fellow travelers than isolated truthers realize. If you want the unfiltered version of how a former dancer and trade-show model became Flat Earth Barbie, this is the episode.

What if your childhood fitness tests weren’t about gym class at all—but a quiet DIA-style screen for future athletes, agents, and “perfect” specimens? In this raw PhoneBooth conversation, Chaney, Ted and Bill unpack school-board operations, mile times and sit-and-reach scores that already knew who you’d become, then leap to the frequencies kids can hear that adults can’t. They ask whether addictive toddler shows (yes, even Blippi) are piping in sounds designed to hook developing brains while parents just think the baby is “quiet.” From there the talk explodes into manufactured celebrities—Jake and Logan Paul, MrBeast, the Tate brothers, even the idea that “organic” podcasting is another script—and the claim that intelligence agencies already have an operative who looks like any character you can imagine.The rabbit holes keep going: Mormon higher-ups’ 1880s trips to Israel, Howard Hughes technology landing in church hands, seed banks and baptismal fonts that mirror Solomon’s Temple, Freemasonry, 9/11 numerology, and Charlie Kirk’s death feeling “too scriptural.” They vent the COVID years—needles, gaslighting, Fauci, the personal cost of staying unmasked and unjabbed—then pivot to how you process the anger without becoming it. Astrology gets a surprisingly grounded treatment (sun, moon, rising, pillow-talk signs), followed by Medici patience cards, Bloody Mary, casino rituals, and the reminder that you’re the highest wizard of whatever you believe.They close with Alaska’s permanent fund, Seminole wealth, gas-price theater heading into midterms, crypto reserves, and a half-joking, half-serious 2028 question: Sarah Palin?This is the kind of episode that starts as late-night phone calls and ends as a map of the matrix. If you’ve ever felt the world is both rigged and still yours to experience, hit play. Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations that refuse the teeter-totter.

In this lucid-dream episode of the show, Blue Montauk joins Ted and Bill to unpack what happens when a dream stops feeling like a dream and starts feeling like another life you can walk back into. She describes using those nights to revisit old conversations, talk to her younger self, and even check in with a future or higher self—sometimes to heal karma, sometimes just to ask why she woke up in a car-crash scene she never planned. The hosts compare notes on nightmares that keep playing after you open your eyes, the difference between being fully aware you’re dreaming and only realizing it later, and whether these experiences are timeline jumps, out-of-body travel, or something weirder still.The conversation doesn’t stay in the dream world. Blue recounts the spider (or maybe centipede) bite that left her in tears at 5 a.m., the theories it spawned about extra “powers,” and the larger questions of immortality, near-death experiences, reincarnation, and whether some people come back knowing they have lived before. Sprites, energy vampires, Mandela-effect suns and moons, vegan birthday cheese, and why bugs might be watching all make appearances before the crew wraps with the usual mix of laughter and “what the hell just happened.” Tune in if you’ve ever woken up and had to check your phone to make sure that conversation never actually took place.Follow Blue on X: https://x.com/bluemontauk?s=21&t=li7tEjPy3INBrhHG-3YluA

In this episode we start with compartmentalization, NASA hardware, and why “just building one piece” doesn’t prove the official story—then the conversation turns. We play Shipwreck’s razor-sharp four-minute takedown of the stolen-election / donate-$25 / trust-the-plan loop, complete with endorsements, Israel talking points, and civic-duty guilt. From there Bill walks through the actual process of leaving the MAGA lane: the Epstein walk-back, new wars after “no new wars,” the 2020 LARP that never delivered accountability, the weird feeling in the voting booth in 2024, and why “5D chess” now looks a lot like the same old playbook.If you’ve ever wondered how someone who once said “trust the plan” ends up asking where the 2016 guy went, this is that conversation—funny, frustrated, and unwilling to keep spinning. Watch the satirical clip with us, then stay for the unfiltered aftermath. Full episodes early plus bonus content at PhoneBoothPodcast.Substack.com
