The BIzarre AF News: Lightning Strikes, Bee Tornadoes & Meghan Markle’s Haunted Apricot

0:00 Broadcasting from the edge of reason and the heart of the unknown, this is the bizarre AF news. Each month we bring you tales that defy gravity and sometimes basic hygiene. From ghostly glitches to cosmic chaos, these are the stories they don't want on the Evening News. So light a candle, charge your crystals and brace yourself because the veil is thin and the headlines are bizarre AF. Well hello our bizarre story friends please help me welcome my Co host test with the most tests. Alasha.

1:06 Alasha. Hello. Hello, Hello, hello. Hello, nice to see. You. How are you doing? I'm doing good, I'm good. I, I, I'm here to, I'm really here to like report on the important things that are happening currently in our bizarre world. We do need to get like an intro like that, like which I am so excited about. I love of these episodes. This is actually the second time we're doing it. And I know that I've, I've gotten quite a bit of good feedback on just how fun they are and how ridiculous they are. Ridiculous. That's what we're here for, the ridiculousness, the kind of news that you want to hear, the stupid stuff that is probably, you know, not nearly as real or hurtful as the stuff going on in the world, right?

1:51 You want to kick us off? You feel like Kick isn't kicking us off? Sure, I would love to so you know at the at the end of the day, you know, before we even dive into lightning bolts be tornadoes, suspicious royal apricots, which hint, hint. That's what we're going to be talking about. If you do love weird real life stories that sound made-up but aren't, go ahead and follow us on Spotify wherever you get your make sure don't miss an episode or you'll find out about the weird things that are actually happening. If you're already a listener, give us a rating. It really does help us. So it does. Thank you 5 please. Yeah, 5 or 4 or. I guess whatever. So let's get into this week. Strange story One comes from Florida, because of course it does, Where a newlywed man was tragically struck and killed by lightning while standing in ankle deep water on a sunny beach day.

2:44 No clouds, no warning, just boom, honeymoon's over. So experts actually say that it was a bolt from the blue, which sounds less like a meteorological term and more like a little like a title from a Nicholas Sparks book if you ask me. Where everyone dies. Honestly, if lightning is now sneaking from in from like 10 miles away on a sunny day, I'm going to need some sunscreen, SPF, Wi-Fi, and Faraday cage. So do you believe in the boogeyman? Do I believe in the boogeyman? Oh, I mean booger man or candy man. Boogeyman maybe. Well, the myth of a boogeyman hiding under the bed came true for one Kansas City family this just last week after a child's complaining of a he saw a boogeyman under his bed. So this unnamed baby sent her tells authorities that she was getting the kids ready for bed when one of the kids complained about a monster under his bed.

3:46 So in efforts to, you know, reassure him that there was no boogeyman under his bed, she that didn't go quite as planned because she goes into the bedroom and she goes under the bed to show him that there was nobody under the bed. When in fact, she comes face to face with a male suspect who was hiding under the bed. This little alteration occurred with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle and then he fled. Turns out this guy's a 27 year old man who once actually lived at that residence and was under protection from abuse order that required him to stay away from the property. And so then while fears of hiding under the bed, you know, are common, right, they don't often materialize. But in 2006, a former Washington DC hospital, LA, was sentenced to more than three years in prison for stalking a hospital employee.

4:44 He allegedly made copies of her keys, snuck a video camera into her dresser and hid under her bed two nights before she was discovered. So he that's happened. And then in 2016, a Tennessee woman discovered her ex-boyfriend hiding under her bed while she was having a security system installed to protect against him. Oh my God. According to the Nashville police affidavit reported by BZTV News, she shot him in the foot and held him at gunpoint until the police arrived. Dude, boogeyman exists. OK, yeah, the boogeyman apparently does exist. Are you kidding me? So now I have another thing to look for. Sorry. I am not kidding. Before I go to bed every single night, I have to have all drawers shut. Door has to be slightly closed.

5:28 Even when I'm spending the night at your house, the doors have to be slightly closed because I am closet doors too. So like I have Oh yeah, everything closed. Now add to the list friends look underneath your bed, because apparently, even if you know you've lived in the house for a couple of years, the boogeyman can be under the bed that you're in. Apparently ex boyfriends live under beds. Good God, that's like that's the title of the next like news story that does not end very well. Thank God these ones did, no doubt. OK, so for our next story in New York City, swirling tornado of bees descended on Midtown Manhattan last month. And yeah, I'm talking about a literal cyclone of thousands of bees moving in tight, perfect formations like they were answering to something.

6:19 Yeah. So witnesses actually described it as unnatural. The swarm wasn't erratic like you would expect. You know, all of the swarm of bees, that's what you think of. It was organized and hovering in a spiral before suddenly dispersing with no trace, no hive. What? No Queen. What? No known trigger. What some people said that the bees weren't just reacting, but they were delivering a message. So maybe it's just some weird quirk of nature that happens every millennia or something. Or maybe it's the the beginning of a larger pattern. I'm like nature's warning siren insect form, right? The birds stop singing.

7:01 Now the bees are forming signals in the air. I'm not saying it's an omen. And. Then the air turns to poison and the sea. But if if bees start whispering in Latin, I'm going to have a problem. Girl, that's nuts. I know it's totally nuts. If you guys have seen it, let us know. So have you? Have you? This is going to be a weird one. Have you seen? Okay, so let me back up. We all know we scroll through to social media or YouTube and you can get on these rabbit holes. And unfortunately nowadays you don't know what's real, right? And you might see something in gasp in horror. Absolute Objectora.

7:49 But it was just generated by AI, like not even a real thing. So you don't know anymore I mean. That is something we were kind of just talking about this. Right. Do you remember that video that Donald Trump had posted? Yeah. Like in I was like Gaza, the new Gaza Strip, right? And it was clearly AI, like there are belly dancers and stuff. And like Trump, probably had a six pack or something. Right. Yeah. But as it was panning out, you saw these belly dancers with like full on beards. So what's crazy about AI is like if you don't know what to look for, very easy to be misled. It is, it is.

8:29 Well, when this I saw this particular video that I'm going to talk about, I'm like, this has to be AI. Yeah. It's real, girl. No. It's real. So there's this father and son duo and they're kayaking off the coast of Chile. And this video that I will put in the show no, so you can actually watch for yourself, appears to show this big humpback whale coming up, scooping him up right into his mouth and going back under the water like swell like well. Like the biblical story of Jonah and the whale and. You're like, OK, come on, girl. Fake. Yeah, it really, really happened. And someone caught it on camera.

9:11 So Adrian Simoncos was kayaking in the Strait of Magellan in southern Chile on Saturday when a whale suddenly surfaced and engulfed him, he said. Quote, I thought I had already been eaten and swallowed, he reports to the AP. And AT 1st when he thought he had died, it was of course just. I said a lot, he said a lot of terror running through his head because all he could see was kind of this Gray, blue swath and then black. Oh my God. His father happened to be filming at the time, which caught the whole incident on camera. He was from a safe distance. He said he started recording when he saw these pretty waves that seemed to be pretty exciting. And but it turned out there was really actually more underneath the surface.

9:59 It was a whale. So the younger Simoncos told CNN that he felt this strong force hidden from behind, lifting him up. And when he turned around, he felt the slimy texture on his face. He could see colours like dark blue and white approaching him from behind and closing around him and then pulling him under. Let go. I don't know if the whales just like, kind of spit him out. Like no, I didn't want that. This doesn't taste. Good Or maybe accidentally, maybe he was going up. So this is what Torito sort of told NPR, that most likely at the explanation is that he happened to be in the way of a feeding whale, like he was coming up for krill or small fish, and he happened to be in the way and scooped him up and, like, whoa, spit out. And then just, you know, because he didn't want that.

10:40 That's what was into. Yeah. And it's all on tape. OK, I, we're going to watch this video as soon as we're done, OK? One thing I, one thing I can say is like, you know what? We just talked about a swarm of bees. Whales eating humans, these are. Biblical times people, where is the swarm of locusts and the the frogs falling from the sky? Oh my God, if I hear locusts tonight, I'm going to come up there and slap you. Yeah, I well, I'll be hiding underneath the bed like like the. Swarm. I'll be the boogeyman. All righty. So for our next story, this takes place over in California. Meghan Markle is in the news again, but this time for fruit. She posted a photo of herself casually picking apricots in her garden. Totally normal, right?

11:24 Except one apricot was perfectly ripe, while the rest of the tree looked like it hadn't hit puberty yet. All green. Nothing else was ripe on it. That's weird. So naturally the Internet lost its mind and people started to ask, oh, was this photoshopped? Others thought that it was actually a cryptic message, and at least one person on Reddit said that it's proof that Megan is a time traveler who uses botanical manipulation as a form of soft diplomacy. If I'm honesty when it's true. Did she eat it? I don't know if she ate. I mean, I would hope so. I'd hope so. Did she pick it? Did she pick it? Yeah, maybe. I mean, I don't know. Probably not. It was probably just a photo op, right? Oh, OK.

12:07 I would think so. But like, if anyone deserves to to bend reality, you know, via fruit, it's her. She's gone through it. You know, so you've heard me talk about AARO. You know who AAR is, right? Well, Sean Kirkpatrick is a well known in the UFO community as a skeptic who's controversy 2024 week report on the historical record of the US government involvement with unidentified anomalous phenomenon. UAP volume one. It nixed the idea of alien offworld technologies and while serving as head of Arrow, which is an all domain anomaly resolution office. Kirkpactors also published a op-ed in Scientific America stating that many of supposed UFO encounters he investigated were unauthorized disclosures of legitimate US programs or related research and development that have nothing to do with extraterrestrial issues or technology. So on June 22nd, Jesse Michaels, who has a lot of followers and does videos and such, announced on his X account that he would pay Sean Kirkpatrick $50,000 on top of travel and accommodations to come on his show and discuss these Wall Street Journal articles.

13:21 Surely, if he's correct and not cynical about his positions, base basic incentives would apply, he says. My only condition is that we don't edit any of it, which is perfect, exactly what we want. So the next day Michael's doubled the amount, saying my buddy Kyle offered to double this. So now we're going to give Sean Kirkpatrick $100,000 in cash for an unedited podcast appearance. OK, where are you? Where are you girl? Girl. Go do it. Girl, where are you? We need. This Why wouldn't you do it? It's $100,000. You've clearly believe everything you write.

14:05 Right. Go do it. Now, one thing that we can say about him is he tends to be the skeptic. He disproves a lot of things. And I think that it would be a great idea to come on and say, hey, look, you guys are just crazy. Like you guys are crazy position. Yeah, talk about your position. If you wanna write everything off and say, hey, look, I found out that a lot of these, the tic Tac video is actually because I believe that he even brought up the tic tac video in this one, didn't he? I think so. Yeah. And he's like, actually, these are government, government programs, or not even officially government, but like government contract. Research and D R&D for governments. Yes, research and development for, for for the government. Yeah. Why not go and talk about it? Come on, friend.

14:47 So good girl. Yeah. Like what? Like what do you have to lose? That's what I'm saying. Why is he not responding? Who does he work for? OK, there you go. We see $100,000, all expenses paid. We see how much. How much were you paid for those articles with the Wall Street Journal? OK, OK 100. No, we'll see 3. Hours. We'll see if he responds. We'll see. OK, so the next story takes place in China, a 64 year old man. It's always like the because they're, these are huge populations, like the, the stories of like tumors and like all these things always take, it's always China.

15:29 It's like, you know, you, you tend to have like the China population. Oh my God, that's a crazy story. Well, of course there's a lot of people there and it's a massive continent, but I love getting stories from China. Yeah. So in China, a 64 year old man recently went to the doctor for stomach pain, only to discover that he had a toothbrush lodged in his body for over 50 years. Yeah, I'm just going to repeat that. Yeah, repeat that, because that's doesn't even make any sense. He swallowed a toothbrush when he was 12 years old and just lived with it for half a century. What? Yeah, I mean, like, I don't even like wearing a bra for like more than five hours. It's too constrictive, let alone. I don't even like holding a poop for an hour. Right.

16:22 I'm going to hold a toothbrush for 12 years, a decade. Like holding gas and come on, we no way we don't want to do that for decades. We're talking half a freaking century that this guy lived with with it. I cannot imagine it like also like, how do you even bring this up in therapy when you're going to your therapist? So that stomach pain I've been having for like 25 years, it is because of a toothbrush that I swallowed and I was 12 years old and somehow I just thought that the toothbrush would pass or something. Yeah, God, I'm surprised he's alive. On this I'm surprised too and I have a couple questions like was this a plastic one? How are micro plastics affecting his intestine?

17:02 It's Japan centuries ago. Is probably wood and horse hair or something in. Japan, but in China was it? Yeah, I mean, I guess still would it could be wood, but still it's it was intact like they they found it, they released it and he was released of his his. Good, so we all know who George Knapp is, right? Oh, my God, love George Knapp. He is, is a friend of the pot. No, he's not a friend. I mean, he's like he is our imaginary friend. And we pray to George Knapp every night. We have like one of those St. candles, Saint George Knapp. Exactly, we thought. We should shrine. Oh my God, we should definitely we should. If they make those, we have to get, we have to get a Saint George, Yeah. That's funny. Well, so George Knapp and Jeremy Cornell recently released footage that was taken by the military in 2020. It's a shot of this.

17:50 Have you seen this disc? Have you seen this? Footage I'm not sure because I I'm like so heavy in the no, no, I have not. OK, girl, it is a large disc and it's moving through the clouds. Have you seen this? It is a It girl. OK. So he they recently released it makes sharp turns like it's not just floating through the it's not like jellyfish. Right. It's not like the Tic Tac. It's not. Like the jellyfish UFO, it's not like the tic tac, it's this very large disc moving through the clouds makes sharp turns. The footage was shown directly downwards so when they were filming it it's like they were above it looking down upon it. Meaning that the object could have been a perfect sphere, like a Borg sphere.

18:38 Good God, so. I don't know if it's a disk or a sphere. Right, right, right. Because you just have, Yeah. You just get what you have, the one-dimensional vision right view. So unlike many of the other videos of this nature the Pentagon is not commenting on, this one will not confirm it. the US military however, who took the footage confirmed it as a disk shaped UAP. That is what the military called it. And unlike even other Uaps, this one is not on the Arrow website. Interesting. Isn't that fascinating? They will not confirm it. George and Jeremy methodically validate videos before they comment and release. Them they are methodical.

19:19 They cross every I, cross every T dot, every I, and This is why it has taken so long. It is 100% confirmed and there's three things that make it worthier of public discord. It is shaped of a disk. the US military labed it as a UAP navigating through the clouds. That is their words. That's what's in the file. It's how they labeled it #2 movement makes abrupt turns and #3 there are no heat signatures via thermal footage. And so typically, whenever they do talk about Uaps, they also have like, George Knapp and Jeremy Korbel. Like they both is a Korbel, a Cordell. Cornell.

20:01 I believe it's Cornell, isn't it? Is it Korbel? I think it's Korbel. I don't know. I'm not sure. Oh God, I should know this. Sorry, Jeremy. Sorry, we, we will also have you on our shrine too. But but you know, they, they methodically go through all of the data that they're given and they are constantly being sent information. There's a lot of people, kooks that are like, I'm going to try to put this like, you know, feather in front of a camera and see if they believe in it. No, like it like they they look at it and they have people who are pilots who are like there are, you know, high-ranking military officials that they work with to confirm things to make sure that this is legit. So if they're releasing something or releasing information, these guys have done their homework. They exactly they are methodical like. All the hard work.

20:49 I've never seen a video like this, it's freaking weird. So, so do we think that it is one of these situations? One thing that we talk about often is like the question that remains, when there have been congressional hearings around the UAP topic, of course, there has not been anything that's happened recently. They're trying to push that they have more congressional hearings, but everything's in chaos right now, so it's not happening, right? However, they talk about this being a dimensional, like whether it's living here currently. It's not necessarily an outer space situation, right? Could be a universe like a bubble, universal dimensional thing like the jellyfish. Like the jellyfish, like some kind of a dimensional shift or something.

21:30 So did they, Was there anything mentioned about that? No. No, my friend, I found nothing about that interesting. Yes, it's very interesting. Typically, what happens when these stories come out? They'll often have more information. They have a lot more information than they. Release, yes. And I think that's coming if it's not already out by now because this was a couple weeks ago, it should be just shortly. OK TuneIn, maybe we get to find out what this flying disc is. Another really silly fun one. So my final story, it takes place in the UK and it's a fully naked man who was seen strolling through town like he was, you know, late for like a clothing optional Ted talk or something. Just walking around bare feet, bear absolutely everything like nothing was wrong. Walks past cafes, walks past shops like it was just a another Tuesday.

22:21 The police were called, no one was harmed, and honestly, the man was pretty chill about everything. So it really it kind of begs the question, when when you have these situations like that, is it a performance arts stunt? Is it a glitch in the matrix? Maybe he came from a different dimension? Or, you know, is he like we're talking about today? We had the bee swarm, we have the pokey man. Is he the first horseman? Horseman of the very sexy Apocalypse. I don't know. I don't know. Was he built like a horse? You know what, I need to look and see if there's any photographic. Right, I have to do my research. So my last story, I'm just, it's also a fun one. It talks about fun lottery wins.

23:03 And what's interesting is that I'm going to talk about 123456 lottery wins, all from June 17th to June 26th, very short together. So a Philadelphia man who frequently travels for work as an engineer bought a ticket on June 4th from a Woodbury Mart in Woodbury Drive in Baltimore County. The man said he was cleaning out his car more than a week later when he discovered a forgotten ticket and it was worth 50 grand. Shut up. 50 grand lost ticket. Oh my God, that's the dream. The Dream On June 18th, a Duke County resident told officials that he'd stop for gas at a Walmart Supercenter.

23:47 He was inspired by his brother's recent large lottery prize. So he thought, well, I'm going to buy 1. He never plays, but he happened to see it and he was thinking it might be my time. He won 350 grand. Sylvia Wells said she voiced her prediction to her husband just before she bought a pair of scratch off tickets, this one on June 12th. She predicted it from Handy Mart in Jacksonville. They bought their favorite ticket. He bought his favorite ticket. She bought her favorite ticket. Her husband's selection, the Diamond 10X ticket, turned out to be worth $200,000. Just keep on going up and up and. Up 20 on the 23rd of June, a Hickory resident in North Carolina doesn't normally buy scratch off tickets, but his brother convinced him to try his luck on a $20 ticket just randomly. He recommended I buy that one $150,000. Two days later, a Shepherdsville resident bought a $5 Flamingo Bingo scratch off ticket.

24:52 Cut her eye. She'd never bought 1 before. She said she just had this premonition go get the ticket. She won $200.00 from that. So she had a laid on the counter. She forgot it was a long day, so at about 11:30 that night she remembered that she had the $200 winner. So she went to a different place, cash that in to get more tickets and $180,000. Well, okay, do we know how much she did? She put all 200 on there? Yes, she did. Yeah. She's like $200 to the kids, yeah. Because she had a feeling. She knew it was her time. Yeah, she has somehow knew her.

25:32 It was time. Then with the next day, a lower resident told Maryland officials that her horoscope gave her her lucky numbers, 25569. So she decided to play a pick 5, which requires 25569. That's 5 numbers and $150,000. OK. So what? Listen to your horoscope, yes. Listen to your brothers, yes? Yes. And your family members. And if you just get an intuition and a hunch, listen to it. Listen to your intuition. I mean like, what do they say if you can't win if you don't play a? 100% true. I mean. And if you're a Colorado resident, you can actually get the Jackpot app and buy scratchers and lottery tickets right on your phone. Do you have the jackpot?

26:17 App girl, yes. See I I am so bad when it comes to that kind of stuff. I'm like, I'm probably not going to win, but you know what? That is negative thinking I should be saying. I'm probably going to win. Yeah, I'm going to win and. Then when you get a mood. I bought a scratcher one a few weeks ago and 150 bucks. Okay. I mean, so you know. What if I want to do something a little bit more like like I I? Have you been to a bingo hall? I love bingo. OK, OK. Got the whole bag of daubers and everything. You do? Yes. I didn't know this about you. OK. So I just recently, I live right next to like 2 of the bigger ones in Denver.

26:57 Yeah. Do you do you like to go? Let's. Go, I do. Oh my God, yeah, I would love to go. Let's do it. There's like a really shitty. Sushi pickle pool tabs. OK, yes. Now, friends, if you have ever been to bingo or if you've never been to bingo, there are how many different games you can play within Bing. It's like you have your, you know, your sheets and you can play like honestly, some people play like 50 sheets at a time. It's crazy. I can't do that. But then they're like, OK, does anyone I get these things and like it's people like, Oh yeah, give me one of those. Don't give me. This it's. It's so confusing. I sat with this woman and I was a little tipsy or like I went to this other place and like got a little tipsy and I was very confused. So some people who have been there often, they, they took me under their wing and I learned a little bit more. But it is a good time.

27:46 You can get fun, you can get like shitty food. Yes, exactly. It is great people watching. Yeah. I had no idea that you liked it. We'll have to go. We. Have to go now. Yeah, for sure. So fun. So fun. Well, you know, that is all for this round of the weekend. Weird, remember? If the world feels like it's coming undone, it might be, but at least we're here to narrate it with some sarcasm and barely contained existential tread. If your brain feels a little weird, weirder in the best way after that, you know, we kind of did our job. Make sure to follow us wherever you're listening so the next time the bees form a summoning circle, we're already in your ears. And honestly, you know, just rate US. Tap that * if you haven't already. It's very easy and it feeds the algorithm gods who love the strange.

28:30 So stay strange and curious, friends. And stay bizarre AF. Bye.
