130: Rune, Root, and Riddle

130: Rune, Root, and Riddle

Jinkies—Patreon pal Trevor has tipped us off to one of America’s stoniest head‑scratchers! When Minnesota farmer Olof Ohman yanked a 200‑pound rune‑covered slab from a tree’s roots in 1898, he may have unearthed proof that Vikings trekked the Midwest in 1362… or maybe just the greatest Scandinavian hoax this side of Valhalla. Join Shane, Josh, and Trevor as we decode hooked‑X runes, weigh Viking voyages against 19th‑century folk art, and face off with Templar conspiracies—all before the Mystery Inc van gets buried in Norse nerd‑mode. Could this stone rewrite history, or is it merely carving out a legendary tall tale? Grab your rune decoder rings and let’s crack the Kensington caper!

01:45.660 --> 01:50.464
[SPEAKER_03]: All I wanted to be was a twink and I knew I'd never would be, but at least I could be hairs.

01:51.851 --> 01:54.293
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that you could be a twink if you're over six foot.

01:54.333 --> 01:55.254
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.

01:56.436 --> 01:57.537
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not it.

01:57.737 --> 02:06.405
[SPEAKER_03]: I could have been before like fifth grade when I was still on the five foot, but even then I was so chubby that I wouldn't have been right.

02:07.426 --> 02:09.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I just identify sometimes as a twink?

02:09.909 --> 02:10.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

02:12.803 --> 02:13.523
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on secret.

02:13.623 --> 02:14.904
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm skinny and hairless.

[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

02:17.824 --> 02:18.964
[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor, how are you doing today?

02:20.505 --> 02:21.445
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: You are joining us from where?

02:24.206 --> 02:26.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of Kansas.

02:27.186 --> 02:29.367
[SPEAKER_03]: Down the road from the Westboro Baptist Church.

02:31.147 --> 02:33.808
[SPEAKER_00]: How close do you live from the church?

02:34.228 --> 02:34.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Ten minutes.

02:35.932 --> 02:38.653
[SPEAKER_00]: have you ever attended said church.

02:38.953 --> 02:39.173
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

02:40.074 --> 02:41.414
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they had a wall around there.

02:41.514 --> 02:44.375
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, you sent me pictures of that wall before.

02:44.415 --> 02:46.536
[SPEAKER_03]: And then there's like that rainbow painted house.

02:46.556 --> 02:46.776
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wow.

02:46.836 --> 02:48.757
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you trying to wall?

02:49.803 --> 02:51.824
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know about Westboro bad news?

02:51.904 --> 02:53.485
[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard of it, but I know there's a wall.

02:53.545 --> 02:54.546
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they crazy.

02:54.626 --> 02:55.366
[SPEAKER_00]: They put a wall.

02:55.386 --> 02:57.167
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got worse since Trump, honey.

02:57.187 --> 02:57.788
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got that.

02:57.828 --> 03:00.269
[SPEAKER_03]: They lose walls and cameras.

03:00.369 --> 03:05.312
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like that Kanye compound in California, just to big a wall around it and people doing it.

03:05.332 --> 03:06.113
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a pizza.

03:06.473 --> 03:06.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

03:06.893 --> 03:07.794
[SPEAKER_00]: They put a wall.

03:08.054 --> 03:09.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Did they make Missouri pay for it?

03:09.735 --> 03:12.036
[SPEAKER_00]: It wouldn't shock me.

03:12.157 --> 03:13.617
[SPEAKER_03]: No, they did the tax free.

03:13.798 --> 03:14.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, that's true.

03:15.018 --> 03:16.299
[SPEAKER_00]: Got that church money.

03:16.319 --> 03:17.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Got that church money.

03:17.840 --> 03:19.161
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to start our own church.

03:19.843 --> 03:39.671
[SPEAKER_03]: See at least the Baptist we come from all they're going to do is just you know give you heart disease from all the food they've forced feed you a funeral let's see they'll just say you know hate the sin not the sinner did you eat you know that's really the one that's going to be

03:42.272 --> 03:43.413
[SPEAKER_03]: They'll let you be gay.

03:43.453 --> 03:45.574
[SPEAKER_03]: They'll just, you know, talk about your behind your back.

03:45.614 --> 03:47.535
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's okay to talk about everybody.

03:47.975 --> 03:48.976
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's so true.

03:49.436 --> 03:53.858
[SPEAKER_00]: I have friends who enjoy, you know, a little gossip here and there.

03:54.779 --> 03:57.040
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't mind, you know, partaking.

03:57.360 --> 03:57.720
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

03:58.321 --> 04:05.925
[SPEAKER_00]: But I always get so nervous when someone is so confrontational that they'll just talk shit in front of the other person or if they're in the room.

04:06.105 --> 04:06.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Why'd you say about me?

04:06.986 --> 04:09.828
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I'm like, hello, my Southern Baptist self.

04:09.988 --> 04:15.011
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, guys, you could talk shit all you want, but wait till they walk out of the room, gosh, dang it.

04:15.391 --> 04:20.975
[SPEAKER_03]: It kind of, I'm the same way I get that feeling around like, no one talks you how to, huh?

04:21.035 --> 04:21.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

04:21.675 --> 04:22.396
[SPEAKER_03]: Bleach your heart.

04:22.436 --> 04:25.858
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't know about art of gossip because you're doing it wrong.

04:27.438 --> 04:28.238
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not getting out.

04:28.278 --> 04:29.679
[SPEAKER_03]: We shrug them wrong.

04:29.779 --> 04:30.279
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

04:31.460 --> 04:40.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, my favorite thing though, about the Baptist, when they talk shit about people, is they always like, you start, now you know, I don't like talk bad about nobody.

04:40.544 --> 04:44.825
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, they're about to just lay out the dirtiest dirt you've ever heard in your life.

04:45.005 --> 04:47.427
[SPEAKER_03]: Now you know, I love Jesus.

04:47.767 --> 04:48.767
[SPEAKER_03]: But I guess a little.

04:48.887 --> 04:50.708
[SPEAKER_00]: But I guess a little.

04:50.728 --> 04:50.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

04:51.188 --> 04:51.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Got a dirt.

04:51.648 --> 04:53.069
[SPEAKER_00]: I got that dirt in my mouth.

04:54.650 --> 04:55.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Lord.

04:56.010 --> 04:57.912
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the Westboro Baptist.

04:57.952 --> 04:59.173
[SPEAKER_03]: They got a big old fence now.

04:59.593 --> 05:01.215
[SPEAKER_03]: This is ADHD out here.

05:01.235 --> 05:03.357
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you very much.

05:03.517 --> 05:06.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is with a big old gay house right next to it.

05:07.120 --> 05:07.661
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that

05:08.391 --> 05:09.372
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a gay house.

05:09.552 --> 05:22.126
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, somebody bought the house across the street and it is right right rainbow like just like they just look at house you've ever seen and you're haven't they done a trans one as well right next to that one.

05:22.146 --> 05:23.047
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they painted.

05:23.067 --> 05:24.488
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, that's right next to that one too.

05:24.548 --> 05:27.852
[SPEAKER_03]: They painted in the trans flag colors just right across street from them.

05:28.032 --> 05:34.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Now for those listening who aren't familiar with that church, why would people hear that name before?

05:34.394 --> 05:35.674
[SPEAKER_00]: The Westboro Baptist Church.

05:35.734 --> 05:52.818
[SPEAKER_03]: They are one of the biggest anti-gay propaganda fueling hate rhetoric, like just, I mean, it's been several years now when they've kind of like, they're still vocal, but not as vocal as they were.

05:52.858 --> 05:56.639
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was like, two thousand eighteen or something, time has no meaning anymore.

05:58.079 --> 05:59.980
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're just very busy.

06:00.281 --> 06:10.567
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, very vocal anti-gay like basically if I go to a camp, it's probably funded by them type of type of church.

06:10.647 --> 06:11.808
[SPEAKER_03]: Is this a huge church?

06:12.408 --> 06:14.049
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's not like a mega church.

06:14.149 --> 06:15.190
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not very big.

06:15.230 --> 06:15.510
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

06:15.950 --> 06:19.313
[SPEAKER_03]: So just like first popular as they are, it's quite small.

06:20.880 --> 06:23.921
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like they died off more when Daddy Philips died.

06:23.941 --> 06:24.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

06:24.462 --> 06:24.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

06:25.322 --> 06:28.263
[SPEAKER_00]: Was he the preacher, pastor, dude?

06:28.383 --> 06:28.764
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

06:29.144 --> 06:29.784
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Fred.

06:29.804 --> 06:33.846
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, Scientology, but smaller and Baptist.

06:34.186 --> 06:35.207
[SPEAKER_00]: It probably not as much money.

06:35.347 --> 06:36.247
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, oh no, no.

06:36.347 --> 06:37.047
[SPEAKER_00]: We're Scientology.

06:37.067 --> 06:37.848
[SPEAKER_00]: They got that money.

06:37.868 --> 06:38.008
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

06:38.448 --> 06:39.189
[SPEAKER_03]: They're along the line.

06:39.269 --> 06:40.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're trying to travel money.

06:41.030 --> 06:41.370
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

06:41.551 --> 06:46.594
[SPEAKER_03]: They're kind of along the lines of one million moms like those kind of hate groups.

06:46.715 --> 06:47.215
[SPEAKER_03]: It's good.

06:47.275 --> 06:49.036
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even see it as a church.

06:49.197 --> 06:50.337
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a hate group.

06:50.858 --> 06:51.238
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

06:51.538 --> 06:54.601
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'll pick it that tax benefit.

06:54.721 --> 06:55.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

06:55.882 --> 06:56.622
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotta love them.

06:57.908 --> 07:00.869
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what they can do with those picket signs, they don't.

07:00.989 --> 07:06.951
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's what they are doing, because you know each one of them's on grind or rather soon, if they walk off that out of them gate.

07:07.651 --> 07:08.931
[UNKNOWN]: What do you do?

07:09.271 --> 07:12.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, I had no idea that they built a big gate around it though.

07:12.772 --> 07:13.973
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm not something else.

07:15.213 --> 07:20.114
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wonder if the gate to keep people out or to keep people in the secrets in.

07:20.134 --> 07:25.136
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's why I always thought was strange about Jehovah's Witness temples as they have no windows.

07:26.536 --> 07:27.397
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the same thing.

07:27.417 --> 07:28.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that is true.

07:28.097 --> 07:30.138
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, well, I never told you.

07:30.198 --> 07:30.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

07:30.819 --> 07:34.821
[SPEAKER_03]: First y'all don't do birthday presents, no Christmas presents, no night.

07:34.861 --> 07:36.022
[SPEAKER_03]: And now they're in no windows.

07:36.342 --> 07:39.584
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, is that the group that will tell you that like heaven's full?

07:40.585 --> 07:40.945
[SPEAKER_03]: One of them.

07:41.125 --> 07:41.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

07:41.425 --> 07:43.326
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember where that is.

07:43.626 --> 07:49.890
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, oh, yeah, there's like different layers of heaven and there's a certain number of ones full, but you can go to the way room.

07:49.910 --> 07:49.990
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

07:50.831 --> 07:52.792
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's really how you get people to sign up.

07:52.852 --> 07:53.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

07:53.092 --> 07:53.172
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

07:53.452 --> 07:53.692
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

07:53.793 --> 07:54.013
[SPEAKER_00]: You know,

07:54.653 --> 07:59.434
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, you won't get into the real heaven, but we'll give you the end between.

07:59.654 --> 08:03.875
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw them walking around the neighborhood, but I don't know why they didn't come up to me.

08:03.955 --> 08:05.155
[SPEAKER_03]: I was out in the yard.

08:05.756 --> 08:07.196
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe it was my shortage short.

08:07.296 --> 08:09.536
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because I had a problem.

08:09.717 --> 08:11.357
[SPEAKER_03]: But maybe they just saw me.

08:11.377 --> 08:13.497
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like lost cars, which I hope.

08:13.637 --> 08:16.658
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope that's the vibe I give off to.

08:17.198 --> 08:18.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Or like a lot of straight men.

08:18.739 --> 08:22.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they were afraid of you Josh because they were afraid you turned them gay.

08:22.440 --> 08:23.920
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't hand all up.

08:27.182 --> 08:29.344
[SPEAKER_01]: They ride bicycles around here.

08:29.364 --> 08:31.786
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, they're getting around.

08:31.806 --> 08:32.267
[SPEAKER_03]: Good boy.

08:32.287 --> 08:32.967
[SPEAKER_01]: They ride in pairs.

08:36.955 --> 08:37.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

08:37.676 --> 08:38.937
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, here they're driving.

08:39.718 --> 08:40.339
[SPEAKER_00]: They're driving.

08:40.359 --> 08:41.600
[SPEAKER_00]: They're driving pairs though.

08:41.680 --> 08:42.982
[SPEAKER_03]: Y'all live out in the country.

08:43.222 --> 08:44.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's true.

08:44.804 --> 08:45.324
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

08:45.344 --> 08:46.986
[SPEAKER_00]: They're running out right now.

08:47.266 --> 08:48.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they got dogs.

08:49.329 --> 08:50.830
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I don't ride my bike out here.

08:50.870 --> 08:52.012
[SPEAKER_00]: People's got dogs.

08:52.032 --> 08:54.034
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they'll just chase the shit out.

08:54.094 --> 08:55.676
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's no leash laws out there.

08:57.317 --> 08:58.057
[SPEAKER_00]: scares the shit.

08:58.097 --> 09:05.559
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I have a recumbent bike and every time I ride it, if I'm out in the country for somebody's I mean, those dogs that's coming right up to you, you know.

09:05.619 --> 09:06.659
[SPEAKER_00]: What the hell is that?

09:06.699 --> 09:11.380
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to play on a eat your face scares the crap out of me every time.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a good, good doggy.

09:18.181 --> 09:20.821
[SPEAKER_00]: I am, unless they sound like they're gonna eat my face.

09:20.941 --> 09:22.242
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they're just scared.

09:22.262 --> 09:24.102
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just a little baby.

09:25.589 --> 09:26.850
[SPEAKER_00]: How'd Shane die, bro?

09:27.270 --> 09:30.373
[SPEAKER_00]: A big scary ass dog, but Josh is just loving her.

09:30.393 --> 09:31.874
[SPEAKER_03]: I ain't going to run from him, but.

09:31.894 --> 09:32.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

09:32.614 --> 09:33.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

09:33.715 --> 09:34.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no, yeah.

09:34.436 --> 09:35.897
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's my baby.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's my little angel.

[SPEAKER_00]: My precious baby.

09:41.641 --> 09:44.103
[SPEAKER_00]: So Trevor, thank you for joining us today.

09:45.204 --> 09:46.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I'm glad to be here.

09:46.245 --> 09:46.685
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, good.

09:46.785 --> 09:47.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

09:48.406 --> 09:50.948
[SPEAKER_00]: How many podcasts have you been in a part of before?

09:51.268 --> 09:51.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Are we your first?

09:54.172 --> 09:55.792
[SPEAKER_01]: You are my first.

09:55.812 --> 09:55.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.

09:56.613 --> 10:00.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we are glad that we could be that for you in this time.

10:01.934 --> 10:04.195
[SPEAKER_00]: You just have two brothers and they're quite lovely for you.

10:05.175 --> 10:06.016
[SPEAKER_00]: So nice for you.

10:06.836 --> 10:11.937
[SPEAKER_00]: So Trevor, tell me, when was the first time you learned about mystery ink?

10:13.518 --> 10:14.238
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, man.

10:14.438 --> 10:15.538
[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like a long time ago.

10:15.598 --> 10:17.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really sick of Shane.

10:17.159 --> 10:17.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it?

10:17.579 --> 10:20.880
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember?

10:22.185 --> 10:24.007
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't you listen to me first?

10:25.249 --> 10:28.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I found rotten and then kind of went from there.

10:28.112 --> 10:30.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you remember how you found rotten?

10:32.598 --> 10:36.323
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually looking for true crime podcasts for some reason and rotten popped up.

10:36.583 --> 10:37.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's funny.

10:37.384 --> 10:37.845
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey.

10:38.505 --> 10:39.206
[SPEAKER_00]: How interesting.

10:41.108 --> 10:42.049
[SPEAKER_03]: You might like this.

10:42.870 --> 10:45.853
[SPEAKER_03]: All of my favorite podcasts have been like suggestions.

10:46.093 --> 10:51.559
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like once that I'm like, I'm not going to listen to that, but then you, you know, you hear a clip of it.

10:51.579 --> 10:54.102
[SPEAKER_03]: And you're like, yeah, she's quite funny.

10:54.662 --> 10:58.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you also listen to a good friend of mine, Charlie, don't you?

10:59.738 --> 11:02.499
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the first podcast I started listening to.

11:02.599 --> 11:03.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

11:03.639 --> 11:07.440
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's funny that you would found her and then you found just Josh random.

11:07.480 --> 11:08.381
[SPEAKER_03]: Which one is Charlie?

11:08.401 --> 11:14.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlie, do you remember when, well, you just talked about in the last recording we did that we went to that thing and the beach thing.

11:15.243 --> 11:16.543
[SPEAKER_03]: Murdoch, oh, yeah.

11:16.583 --> 11:18.924
[SPEAKER_00]: Charlie was one of one of my friends I was there.

11:19.064 --> 11:20.104
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I'm not good with names.

11:20.224 --> 11:20.624
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

11:21.025 --> 11:26.026
[SPEAKER_03]: For me, I'll remember their podcast name, but not the name of the people behind the podcast.

11:26.146 --> 11:28.147
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Charlie, I met, oh my gosh.

11:28.867 --> 11:39.211
[SPEAKER_00]: long time ago, and the first time I met her in person was at the very first crime con era of twenty sixteen or seventeen is an Indian airport.

11:39.411 --> 11:39.711
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

11:40.571 --> 11:50.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, she's a super sweet person, but at that time, she had a different podcast while the podcast was at under a different name.

11:50.534 --> 11:52.095
[SPEAKER_03]: She had the show where to show it with the purple hair.

11:52.799 --> 11:53.100
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:53.460 --> 11:56.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, at that time, when you met her, she had that shorter hair.

11:56.624 --> 12:02.452
[SPEAKER_00]: But back then, in twenty sixteen or seventeen, her podcast was under a different name and she had a co-host.

12:03.393 --> 12:07.078
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will just say that there was a lot of drama around that co-host.

12:07.098 --> 12:08.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know what I'm talking about, Trevor?

12:09.643 --> 12:10.043
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't.

12:10.664 --> 12:16.688
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, maybe I'll tell you all about it on unmasked today.

12:16.848 --> 12:17.448
[SPEAKER_00]: The tea.

12:17.508 --> 12:18.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'll give you the tea.

12:18.849 --> 12:22.031
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so she had a different podcast and it obtained the name.

12:22.071 --> 12:24.513
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a bunch of drama stuff that played out.

12:24.653 --> 12:25.233
[SPEAKER_03]: And they agree.

12:25.273 --> 12:26.214
[SPEAKER_03]: Remember the drama.

12:26.374 --> 12:26.554
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

12:26.714 --> 12:32.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the other podcast or the she had on her show at that time was at that crime crime event as well.

12:33.639 --> 12:38.162
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had a few run-ins with her that I'll share in the unmasked episode.

12:38.222 --> 12:38.362
[SPEAKER_00]: But

12:39.078 --> 12:43.143
[SPEAKER_03]: See, that's when the Southern Baptist comes in handy, because we can put on a game face.

12:43.203 --> 12:44.144
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I know, right.

12:44.725 --> 12:46.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, we're best friends.

12:46.246 --> 12:46.507
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

12:47.067 --> 12:48.329
[SPEAKER_03]: Good to see you.

12:48.509 --> 12:49.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Miss you.

12:50.311 --> 12:52.393
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good to see you, Miss you.

12:52.513 --> 12:53.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm praying for you.

12:55.857 --> 12:56.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Now go jump off the cliff.

12:56.978 --> 12:58.338
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's right.

12:58.418 --> 13:00.099
[SPEAKER_00]: As soon as you turn around, go die.

13:00.119 --> 13:02.661
[SPEAKER_03]: The bigger my smile, the more I hate you.

13:03.301 --> 13:04.442
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly right.

13:05.682 --> 13:08.644
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of how it was with this other person too, bless her heart.

13:08.664 --> 13:09.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope she's doing well.

13:10.665 --> 13:12.046
[SPEAKER_00]: Hope she's doing well.

13:13.306 --> 13:13.807
[SPEAKER_03]: Inhale.

13:17.229 --> 13:21.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So Trevor, for today, we wanted to hear from you a mystery.

13:21.993 --> 13:25.896
[SPEAKER_00]: So can you start by telling us where you're taking us to?

13:28.797 --> 13:31.219
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, let's see, we're going to Minnesota.

13:31.879 --> 13:34.021
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Minnesota?

13:34.101 --> 13:35.662
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, you're just in Wisconsin.

13:35.722 --> 13:37.143
[SPEAKER_03]: Same vibe, same vibe.

13:37.223 --> 13:40.525
[SPEAKER_00]: I've only been to Minnesota a couple of times, and it's always just been on the airport.

13:40.545 --> 13:41.286
[SPEAKER_00]: Minnesota.

13:41.466 --> 13:42.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I get late over there.

13:42.967 --> 13:43.747
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never been there.

13:44.068 --> 13:49.331
[SPEAKER_03]: My beauty teacher was from Minnesota, so I learned I learned how to cut hair, don't you know?

13:49.391 --> 13:52.313
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, well, Minneapolis has a really nice airport.

13:52.493 --> 13:56.356
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you ever have to do a layover, and that's an option, I always pick Minnesota.

13:56.376 --> 13:57.157
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the one at the horse.

13:57.957 --> 13:59.037
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that's Denver.

13:59.197 --> 13:59.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

13:59.738 --> 13:59.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

14:00.478 --> 14:18.024
[SPEAKER_00]: No, this one is a big airport, but it's really nice like it's clean and if you have a long way because what I do layovers, I never pick a layover unless I have at least two and a half hours or like two and a half hours to four hours is my ideal type of layover.

14:18.504 --> 14:24.366
[SPEAKER_00]: And the reason is because when I first started flying, I always was like, oh, quickest layover, forty minutes, perfect.

14:24.966 --> 14:26.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I land in Atlanta.

14:26.547 --> 14:32.448
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I have literally five minutes to get to my plane, if there's no to land.

14:32.509 --> 14:36.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I mean, I would just miss so many planes, not because I couldn't get there in time.

14:36.430 --> 14:41.151
[SPEAKER_00]: But because there's, I mean, I feel like nine times out of ten, your planes getting delayed.

14:41.331 --> 14:42.492
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I take time.

14:42.552 --> 14:43.392
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not a Russia.

14:44.512 --> 14:46.253
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really want to be flown twice.

14:47.303 --> 14:47.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Must be nice.

14:48.024 --> 14:48.964
[SPEAKER_03]: That's enough for me.

14:49.544 --> 14:56.128
[SPEAKER_00]: If I can drive all drive, I would drive almost anywhere in the US unless it's past Denver.

14:56.589 --> 14:57.029
[SPEAKER_00]: I did.

14:57.289 --> 14:58.029
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll fly to that.

14:58.250 --> 15:02.672
[SPEAKER_03]: It made me feel like cattle and I didn't care for it except for the porn star on her flight.

15:02.992 --> 15:03.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

15:03.533 --> 15:04.954
[SPEAKER_03]: It was not a fan of the flight.

15:06.014 --> 15:09.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I was in a big fan of my layover in Midway in Chicago.

15:10.275 --> 15:12.996
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where I think ours was on the way to Las Vegas.

15:13.216 --> 15:14.396
[SPEAKER_03]: We had a layover in Chicago.

15:14.436 --> 15:14.797
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hair.

15:14.817 --> 15:15.597
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

15:15.677 --> 15:18.398
[SPEAKER_00]: So hair, which is a massive airport.

15:19.158 --> 15:19.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

15:19.578 --> 15:21.498
[SPEAKER_03]: Imagine we had one in that with sandwich.

15:22.039 --> 15:23.459
[SPEAKER_03]: Ooh, I do love St.

15:23.499 --> 15:23.859
[SPEAKER_03]: Louis.

15:24.699 --> 15:25.760
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been there a few times.

15:25.820 --> 15:27.580
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I did not stop in St.

15:27.620 --> 15:27.960
[SPEAKER_03]: Louis.

15:28.100 --> 15:31.321
[SPEAKER_03]: By the love, I mean, it was a pretty city to drive through quickly in.

15:32.121 --> 15:33.422
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't get a long turn.

15:35.339 --> 15:37.602
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I've never been to the airport and St.

15:37.622 --> 15:38.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Louis either.

15:38.143 --> 15:39.204
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never heard of it.

15:40.205 --> 15:45.512
[SPEAKER_00]: I typically won't only flight delta just because that's just what I'm used to and I I'm very familiar with it now.

15:46.253 --> 15:53.362
[SPEAKER_00]: So most delta flights your transfer flight will happen in Atlanta, which Atlanta

15:54.112 --> 15:57.834
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to flash out the West.

15:58.114 --> 16:01.196
[SPEAKER_03]: At least it ain't the most scary at least it ain't spirit.

16:01.236 --> 16:01.756
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

16:02.197 --> 16:05.519
[SPEAKER_00]: In my defense, I typically don't have to pay for my flight.

16:06.219 --> 16:10.982
[SPEAKER_03]: So whenever I fly, the rich just keep getting rich.

16:13.154 --> 16:14.215
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no.

16:14.315 --> 16:15.537
[SPEAKER_00]: It all seriousness though.

16:15.697 --> 16:18.019
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd very rarely had ever paid for my flights.

16:19.220 --> 16:20.141
[SPEAKER_00]: And the first time.

16:20.242 --> 16:21.142
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you've paid.

16:21.243 --> 16:21.863
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure.

16:21.983 --> 16:24.446
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm on your knees.

16:24.506 --> 16:25.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like my brother taught me.

16:26.548 --> 16:35.077
[SPEAKER_00]: But no, so the very first time I flew for, you know, going to a podcast thing, they're like, oh, well, fly you out and be fine.

16:35.117 --> 16:35.598
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like,

16:36.934 --> 16:41.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't mind flying, but it's going to be expensive because I'm tall and fat.

16:41.560 --> 16:42.381
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not fit in.

16:42.881 --> 16:46.806
[SPEAKER_00]: I need a first class near the last seven eighths of the plane.

16:46.846 --> 16:50.410
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so yeah, I only will ever fly first class.

16:50.450 --> 16:53.394
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never flown in the other way and I'd be almost scared to.

16:53.414 --> 16:53.794
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

16:55.196 --> 16:58.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, it's all fun and games.

16:59.080 --> 17:05.425
[SPEAKER_00]: However, it is so nice, no matter how long your find is, when they bring you a hot towel, talk about your face.

17:05.726 --> 17:12.372
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not nearly as tall as you, but my legs will fall asleep if I'm sitting too low or, you know, and I mean, that's

17:12.772 --> 17:15.774
[SPEAKER_03]: It's miserable when you can't get up to wake them back up.

17:15.814 --> 17:16.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

17:16.134 --> 17:21.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, even in first class, if I don't sit in the very front row, I mean, it's a tight fit for my legs.

17:21.678 --> 17:26.181
[SPEAKER_00]: But if the person front of me tries to lean back or something, then it's still going to hit my knees.

17:26.921 --> 17:30.904
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just can't imagine being able to sit anywhere else on the plane.

17:31.644 --> 17:34.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just don't know that I would be able to sit down because I'm just too tall.

17:35.922 --> 17:38.744
[SPEAKER_00]: At least that's what I tell them in order to be able to find first class.

17:38.984 --> 17:42.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you can get like they'll serve you alcohol too.

17:42.286 --> 17:43.967
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm telling you.

17:44.027 --> 17:45.548
[SPEAKER_03]: People always call me Epidine.

17:45.728 --> 17:46.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm first.

17:46.509 --> 17:46.909
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

17:47.089 --> 17:48.370
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm really like.

17:52.212 --> 17:54.375
[SPEAKER_00]: It really changes in my perspective.

17:54.456 --> 18:00.464
[SPEAKER_00]: It really changes what it means to fly like you said that you felt like sardines and cattle.

18:00.785 --> 18:03.188
[SPEAKER_03]: The plane, what didn't bother me at all.

18:03.248 --> 18:05.391
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the plane, the flying.

18:05.572 --> 18:07.354
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'm thin.

18:08.035 --> 18:12.156
[SPEAKER_03]: So I have plenty of space in that, but it came made up for it.

18:12.236 --> 18:20.778
[SPEAKER_03]: It was the airport, the boarding the plane, especially the hallway that takes you to the plane.

18:20.958 --> 18:24.639
[SPEAKER_03]: I felt like livestock, but loaded onto the trailer.

18:24.960 --> 18:25.920
[SPEAKER_03]: And I did not like it.

18:26.600 --> 18:31.821
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, I had that six foot five porn star that I was very familiar with.

18:32.221 --> 18:33.842
[SPEAKER_03]: Right in front of me, so I was just like,

18:34.342 --> 18:36.783
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God, it's blessed.

18:36.803 --> 18:40.425
[SPEAKER_03]: I may be a cow, but I can still be bread.

18:40.485 --> 18:43.707
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you fly first class, you're not, like you're the first one on the plane.

18:43.747 --> 18:44.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.

18:49.510 --> 18:50.751
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's no waiting.

18:50.871 --> 18:52.532
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never had a wait in that little.

18:52.652 --> 19:02.397
[SPEAKER_03]: See, I went and ticked off and looked up and they were like, let everybody wait and once the line's down, then you're gonna get the same CD the way.

19:02.437 --> 19:09.221
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that I would have against that is if you are determined to carry on something.

19:09.321 --> 19:11.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because those things fill up so quick.

19:11.462 --> 19:17.325
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I feel like the last half of people that get onto planes are forced to check their bag.

19:17.760 --> 19:21.682
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they offered us like, like, twenty bucks or something to do it.

19:21.722 --> 19:21.942
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

19:22.102 --> 19:23.903
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, I don't have to carry it on here.

19:23.963 --> 19:24.204
[SPEAKER_03]: Take it.

19:24.264 --> 19:24.504
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

19:24.604 --> 19:25.804
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I am.

19:25.844 --> 19:29.026
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of people who are like, oh, you carry it so far.

19:29.306 --> 19:31.448
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't bring anything except like a backpack.

19:31.608 --> 19:33.329
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's guaranteed to get on the flight.

19:33.369 --> 19:36.510
[SPEAKER_03]: They literally bring it right after like, you watch them.

19:36.971 --> 19:37.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

19:37.771 --> 19:39.172
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I always check my bag.

19:39.252 --> 19:40.933
[SPEAKER_00]: It could be just a quick hour flight.

19:41.033 --> 19:41.893
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like checking it.

19:42.013 --> 19:43.594
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a hall map thing around.

19:43.614 --> 19:44.735
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't want to stolen.

19:45.055 --> 19:48.357
[SPEAKER_03]: Now you've experienced how easy we go off the top.

19:48.517 --> 19:51.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, Trevor, you're here to this.

19:51.918 --> 19:57.121
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so yeah, so tell us about your mystery and Minnesota.

20:00.303 --> 20:02.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is called the Kensington Roon Stone.

20:02.444 --> 20:05.805
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I like run stones.

20:07.326 --> 20:09.287
[SPEAKER_01]: It's mystery, myth or medieval truth.

20:10.488 --> 20:10.788
[SPEAKER_01]: Love it.

20:11.791 --> 20:17.836
[SPEAKER_01]: This is an eighteen ninety-eight Swedish American farmer named Olaf Omen was clearing land near Kensington, Minnesota.

20:18.897 --> 20:31.728
[SPEAKER_01]: When he claimed to have unearthed a large slab of stone tangled in the roots of a tree, the stone weighed about two hundred pounds and was covered in what appeared to be Norse ruins, an ancient writing system used by Scandinavian people during the Viking age.

20:32.509 --> 20:36.052
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of sexy men I follow on Instagram have those as tattoos.

20:36.472 --> 20:37.774
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's a very familiar.

20:41.162 --> 20:50.104
[SPEAKER_01]: According to the inscription, a group of thirty north explorers, eight Swedes and twenty two Norwegian's journey deep into North American interior in thirteen sixty two.

20:51.144 --> 20:56.146
[SPEAKER_01]: The message tells us that ten of their party were killed and the survivors left the inscription behind.

20:56.826 --> 21:01.227
[SPEAKER_01]: If true, this would play Scandinavians in Minnesota over a century before Columbus.

21:01.827 --> 21:02.247
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

21:03.387 --> 21:04.248
[SPEAKER_03]: That would make sense.

21:04.368 --> 21:05.808
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're still there till this day.

21:07.690 --> 21:19.922
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I'd have heard of like Vikings and stuff like them actually finding artifacts here that predate Columbus and other explorers like I mean by a thousand years or more.

21:20.602 --> 21:23.125
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean there's evidence that would agree with this.

21:24.787 --> 21:25.767
[SPEAKER_03]: But why Minnesota?

21:26.615 --> 21:28.717
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

21:29.198 --> 21:33.882
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, no, in all seriousness, like, I don't know that there is a path from the ocean.

21:34.002 --> 21:34.623
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

21:34.643 --> 21:43.672
[SPEAKER_00]: It was nothing but forest between like ocean and I don't think that the Great Lakes have like a way to get into them from the ocean, right?

21:44.713 --> 21:46.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't think of one that would lead you over to Minnesota.

21:49.050 --> 21:50.351
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so either.

21:50.371 --> 21:52.591
[SPEAKER_03]: Not that I can think of.

21:52.651 --> 21:53.952
[SPEAKER_03]: Not that not back then.

21:53.992 --> 22:00.294
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, now that you know, have man made canals and stuff where it could be possible, but not back then.

22:00.354 --> 22:03.034
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I feel like that might be a cano.

22:04.315 --> 22:04.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:04.995 --> 22:05.935
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Trevor, go ahead.

22:05.955 --> 22:06.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

22:06.596 --> 22:07.216
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

22:07.296 --> 22:07.776
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

22:08.016 --> 22:08.516
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all good.

22:09.476 --> 22:12.517
[SPEAKER_01]: But almost immediately, the roomstone sparked fierce debate.

22:13.358 --> 22:14.338
[SPEAKER_01]: We could start with theories.

22:15.887 --> 22:21.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Some believe the stone is authentic, a genuine evidence of a forgotten or expedition into the heart of the continent.

22:22.529 --> 22:28.651
[SPEAKER_01]: They point out that the Vikings had already reached Newfoundland by the year, one thousand, and they say it's not unthinkable.

22:28.711 --> 22:30.611
[SPEAKER_01]: They went further inland over the centuries.

22:30.631 --> 22:33.112
[SPEAKER_03]: They were a herdie people.

22:34.452 --> 22:40.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Others, however, believe it's a nineteenth century hoax, carved by home in himself, or someone in his community.

22:41.437 --> 22:51.124
[SPEAKER_01]: They argue the ruins mix medieval symbols with nineteenth century Swedish language suggesting someone familiar with ruins but not fluent and old Norse try to fake a medieval artifact.

22:52.565 --> 22:58.489
[SPEAKER_03]: I could see that that's the trouble with rocks is yeah the rock can be that old but the writing who knows.

23:00.291 --> 23:00.731
[SPEAKER_01]: Very true.

23:02.212 --> 23:10.358
[SPEAKER_01]: There are also French theories one links the ruins down to the Knights Templar claiming secret societies brought ancient knowledge to America before the Lumbus.

23:11.357 --> 23:16.201
[SPEAKER_01]: These theories are rich with symbols, mystery, and conspiracy, but largely unsupported by hard evidence.

23:17.682 --> 23:30.013
[SPEAKER_03]: I've heard a lot of those before, a lot of artifacts being brought over here by the Nights Templar and multiple different, even like some of Egyptians bringing over treasures.

23:32.495 --> 23:35.517
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm shocked, the guys from like, okay, I haven't done anything with this one yet.

23:35.657 --> 23:36.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

23:36.318 --> 23:37.139
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I was thinking.

23:38.820 --> 23:39.741
[SPEAKER_03]: That's next season.

23:41.168 --> 23:42.570
[SPEAKER_00]: How many of you have now, like, thirty?

23:43.591 --> 23:44.191
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

23:45.032 --> 23:46.173
[SPEAKER_00]: They never find anything.

23:46.193 --> 23:54.262
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, just like ghost adventures in the hunt for big foot, never years and years of not really finding nothing but they're still there.

23:54.983 --> 24:02.691
[SPEAKER_00]: So I looked up if the ocean filters into the Great Lakes and I stand corrected.

24:03.652 --> 24:09.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Because although the Great Lakes would technically filter into the ocean, like it's flowing out that direction.

24:10.536 --> 24:16.279
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, if you're willing to go upstream, yeah, you're going in from the Atlantic.

24:16.659 --> 24:24.243
[SPEAKER_00]: If filters into above Canada, like right above Maine, it goes down into Quebec City, Montreal.

24:25.857 --> 24:27.880
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it goes down into Lake Ontario.

24:27.900 --> 24:36.013
[SPEAKER_00]: And then from there, it would filter down through Niagara Falls until Lake Erie up Detroit.

24:36.920 --> 24:57.797
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, about a ship would be able to and then up port here on into Lake, you're on and then from there, you could either go into Lake Michigan or go through the northern peninsula up into Lake Superior and then Lake Superior is what's connected to Minnesota.

24:58.982 --> 25:01.403
[SPEAKER_03]: A ship wouldn't be able to go through Niagara Falls though.

25:01.543 --> 25:02.544
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.

25:02.564 --> 25:09.767
[SPEAKER_03]: Even the river after it flows, it thins quite a bit and it's like very rocky on either side.

25:09.787 --> 25:09.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

25:10.607 --> 25:10.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

25:11.107 --> 25:12.548
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's such a thing.

25:12.908 --> 25:15.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's a really thin space.

25:16.730 --> 25:19.191
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that works like that be the only way that you could.

25:20.471 --> 25:26.137
[SPEAKER_00]: get into that area because I mean, that'd be a far way on a boat.

25:26.218 --> 25:37.630
[SPEAKER_03]: I've looked it up because there have been myths of freshwater dolphins and like Michigan and people are like, well, they swam from the ocean and I was like, I don't think that's possible.

25:38.371 --> 25:41.894
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not like they'd have to jump in the over and I had referrals.

25:41.934 --> 25:42.094
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

25:44.083 --> 25:44.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

25:44.864 --> 25:45.124
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

25:45.364 --> 25:46.285
[SPEAKER_00]: You can go ahead, Trevor.

25:46.345 --> 25:47.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just, I thought that was interesting.

25:48.266 --> 25:48.566
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

25:49.147 --> 25:50.988
[SPEAKER_03]: You think we'd be more moderate close.

25:54.591 --> 25:55.772
[SPEAKER_01]: I came close to up there, remember?

25:56.312 --> 25:56.712
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

25:56.732 --> 25:58.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Cincinnati was close enough for me.

25:58.313 --> 25:59.414
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you win your bowl one?

26:00.715 --> 26:01.596
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I know.

26:02.196 --> 26:03.477
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, well, sorry about that.

26:03.597 --> 26:05.779
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not, we're not going to talk about that.

26:06.519 --> 26:09.141
[SPEAKER_03]: At least you have got a shirt.

26:11.143 --> 26:11.803
[SPEAKER_01]: You got something.

26:15.696 --> 26:16.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's no medication for it.

26:17.517 --> 26:18.077
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh.

26:20.618 --> 26:21.799
[SPEAKER_03]: Of round of applause.

26:23.600 --> 26:24.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have rather have taken that.

26:25.020 --> 26:28.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's just a skyline chili was not really good.

26:29.382 --> 26:29.822
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.

26:30.183 --> 26:30.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

26:30.563 --> 26:32.123
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the worst chili in the world.

26:32.163 --> 26:33.784
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's the same thing in it.

26:34.565 --> 26:36.005
[SPEAKER_00]: They put sentiment and sin.

26:37.086 --> 26:38.947
[SPEAKER_03]: I've had it once and that was too much.

26:39.707 --> 26:39.787
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh.

26:40.694 --> 26:42.716
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's like a spaghetti but not a good one.

26:42.776 --> 26:44.017
[SPEAKER_03]: You should have messaged us.

26:44.057 --> 26:45.118
[SPEAKER_03]: We would have warned you.

26:47.279 --> 26:48.160
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't do it.

26:48.480 --> 26:50.042
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't hate yourself that much.

26:53.464 --> 27:02.632
[SPEAKER_01]: So a more modern idea is that the Roonstone is a piece of folk art created by Scandinavian immigrants as a way to tie their heritage to their new home.

27:03.779 --> 27:11.965
[SPEAKER_01]: In the late eighteen-hundreds, Nordic Pride was strong in the Midwest, and inventing a Viking past may have been more about identity than deception.

27:13.266 --> 27:13.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see that.

27:14.267 --> 27:22.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Geologists have examined the stone to determine its age, one of the most vocal supporters of its authenticity is Scott Walter, a forensic geologist.

27:22.934 --> 27:31.080
[SPEAKER_01]: He argues that the room shows signs of a long-term weathering and microbial erosion features that he claims that would take hundreds of years to develop.

27:32.325 --> 27:35.147
[SPEAKER_01]: But the critics say his conclusions are speculative.

27:35.688 --> 27:47.997
[SPEAKER_01]: They point out that the environmental factors like whether the stone was buried or exposed can greatly affect weathering, and there's still no consensus that the ruins are old enough to date back to the Fourteen Century.

27:49.338 --> 27:54.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Additionally, the tree roots found with the stone suggests it was buried at least several decades before, eighteen, ninety-eight.

27:55.303 --> 27:57.905
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, that's not enough to prove a medieval origin.

27:59.273 --> 28:08.778
[SPEAKER_01]: As for the language, most neurologists agree that the grammar and vocabulary include modern forms of Swedish, not the old Norse you'd expect in thirteen sixty-two.

28:08.798 --> 28:21.685
[SPEAKER_01]: There's also the mysterious hooked x-roon found on the stone, a character not found in authentic medieval inscriptions, but one embraced by Templar theorist as evidence of hidden knowledge.

28:27.628 --> 28:31.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Today, the Kensington Room Stone is housed at the Roonstone Museum at Alexandria, Minnesota.

28:32.709 --> 28:37.490
[SPEAKER_01]: It remains a local treasure attours the traction and a symbol of pride but also historical riddle.

28:38.810 --> 28:46.891
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it a lost piece of medieval history, a clever hoax, or something in between a story carved in stone that tells us more about the people who found it than those who may have made it.

28:48.072 --> 28:54.573
[SPEAKER_01]: Over a hundred and twenty-five years later, the mystery remains unsolved and that might be part of what keeps it so fascinating.

28:56.218 --> 29:02.062
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I find that there's a Roanstone Museum in that I really want to go to now.

29:03.403 --> 29:04.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, me too.

29:04.164 --> 29:05.445
[SPEAKER_00]: And what did you say that museum?

29:05.525 --> 29:10.148
[SPEAKER_03]: Alexandria Miss Wisconsin Minnesota Minnesota Minnesota Minnesota.

29:10.168 --> 29:12.130
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we should go there.

29:12.150 --> 29:13.671
[SPEAKER_03]: When's that win?

29:14.291 --> 29:15.152
[SPEAKER_03]: September twenty seven.

29:15.292 --> 29:16.653
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think that one's a must come on son.

29:17.273 --> 29:19.515
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, we can make a trip aren't they close together.

29:20.350 --> 29:21.930
[SPEAKER_03]: They're basically at the same stage today.

29:21.950 --> 29:47.137
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to,

29:49.283 --> 29:57.688
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like if it was really found in the roots of a tree that to me makes it feel more real, if that's really how it was found.

29:58.028 --> 30:04.772
[SPEAKER_03]: Because when I go rock hunting, that's the first place I'll look as if I see a tree that's falling down.

30:04.872 --> 30:11.416
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll go look near the roots because when it falls, the roots pull up a lot of rocks with it from deep in the earth.

30:11.476 --> 30:17.359
[SPEAKER_03]: So you'll find stuff that's been buried for hundreds of years, if not longer.

30:18.730 --> 30:22.833
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it could be real, but I don't think it could be like, thirteen hundred real.

30:22.933 --> 30:23.273
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

30:23.474 --> 30:27.417
[SPEAKER_03]: The fact that it has like words that they wouldn't have used.

30:27.437 --> 30:28.157
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

30:28.197 --> 30:29.358
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it doesn't have the right.

30:29.858 --> 30:30.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:30.699 --> 30:34.342
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I always lie on where does the evidence lead me?

30:34.702 --> 30:34.982
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

30:35.002 --> 30:39.586
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, it makes me think that it's definitely not from that back far area.

30:39.846 --> 30:47.531
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the theory of that the people made it just as a connection to their history.

30:47.692 --> 30:47.872
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:49.183 --> 30:59.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think that's important too to think about because I know that when people immigrated over to America, that a lot of times they were in pockets or groups of people.

31:00.477 --> 31:05.183
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they often would name those areas by where those people were coming from.

31:05.203 --> 31:06.124
[SPEAKER_00]: So like near here, we have

31:08.146 --> 31:17.516
[SPEAKER_00]: Mexico, Peru, Norway, and so it's all from those immigrants who all came here and settled that area.

31:17.716 --> 31:25.945
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, the guy who got convicted of the Delphi murderers, he was living up in the Peru Mexico area.

31:25.965 --> 31:27.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, next to us.

31:28.047 --> 31:29.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, in the town next door.

31:32.366 --> 31:44.137
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, I guess I could really see that as in it was a really old thing that they brought over or that they created to remember.

31:44.157 --> 31:46.940
[SPEAKER_03]: Because we have one here in town.

31:46.960 --> 31:48.662
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, the rock.

31:48.742 --> 31:53.506
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that big rock that was sacred to the native tribes in the land here originally.

31:53.667 --> 31:53.867
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

31:55.262 --> 31:55.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true.

31:55.882 --> 31:56.683
[SPEAKER_03]: So I mean, that's it.

31:57.503 --> 32:04.768
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, but it's I was believe in until you're like, there's words that they wouldn't have used.

32:04.908 --> 32:05.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

32:05.268 --> 32:12.032
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, if they're taking the time to chisel words and to a rock, they're going to make sure it's, you know, correct.

32:12.753 --> 32:13.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, shit.

32:13.353 --> 32:14.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you could do that with chat GPT.

32:14.654 --> 32:18.176
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, let's just tell you the right words to use and how to use it.

32:18.256 --> 32:20.858
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, I don't know.

32:22.680 --> 32:27.541
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's clearly it's not as old as the oldest day could be.

32:27.561 --> 32:31.582
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, that's clearly out of the realm because of the evidence.

32:31.622 --> 32:41.503
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, I guess I could see that it could still be really old and they just used it as so because this is their descendants thing, you know?

32:41.743 --> 32:41.963
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

32:43.224 --> 32:44.604
[SPEAKER_00]: The world may never know.

32:45.104 --> 32:47.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, maybe they were all some day down here.

32:47.284 --> 32:47.924
[SPEAKER_00]: You never know.

32:47.944 --> 32:49.045
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never known.

32:50.405 --> 32:51.645
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been playing with this thing.

32:53.334 --> 32:55.817
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm for everyone this way.

32:56.077 --> 32:56.938
[SPEAKER_03]: I have one of those.

32:56.958 --> 32:57.739
[SPEAKER_03]: Put it away.

32:57.919 --> 32:58.760
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I put it on.

32:58.780 --> 33:00.382
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's on.

33:00.502 --> 33:05.047
[SPEAKER_03]: It's that little fidget spinner that we got on field trips growing up.

33:05.067 --> 33:09.251
[SPEAKER_03]: But I brought Kim and Shane one today and I've been playing with Kim's pink one.

33:09.792 --> 33:13.116
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just saw myself in the she's video camera.

33:13.916 --> 33:14.597
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, like, oh.

33:15.097 --> 33:17.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Playing with games, playing with games.

33:17.539 --> 33:22.762
[SPEAKER_00]: So Josh, you brought in some extra things that you wanted me to try.

33:22.802 --> 33:24.564
[SPEAKER_03]: I've seen this soda before.

33:25.084 --> 33:31.168
[SPEAKER_03]: I got the strawberry flavored, but it just has a little marble that you plop in there.

33:31.228 --> 33:33.430
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what, like, is it to carbonate?

33:33.530 --> 33:34.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

33:34.491 --> 33:37.753
[SPEAKER_03]: So like, I guess it's very common for kids to drink these.

33:37.813 --> 33:38.674
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a fun little.

33:38.874 --> 33:39.214
[SPEAKER_03]: Where?

33:39.574 --> 33:39.994
[SPEAKER_03]: Japan?

33:40.915 --> 33:42.676
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I got the... They're pretty good.

33:42.916 --> 33:43.917
[SPEAKER_03]: Strawberry one?

33:44.197 --> 33:45.138
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you've had it before.

33:45.358 --> 33:45.618
[SPEAKER_01]: Never.

33:45.918 --> 33:48.480
[SPEAKER_01]: He... He had that watermelon one before.

33:48.720 --> 33:55.525
[SPEAKER_03]: I almost got the watermelon, but I was like, whoa, we'll dress through a very... They had a original, but I was like, what the hell's original flavor?

33:55.965 --> 33:58.827
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you gotten strawberries from the... Pick your own?

33:59.147 --> 33:59.707
[SPEAKER_03]: No, not yet.

33:59.807 --> 34:00.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my gosh.

34:00.868 --> 34:03.110
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got them twice now, freaking good.

34:03.930 --> 34:04.871
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you spell it on you?

34:05.211 --> 34:05.451
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

34:05.471 --> 34:09.514
[SPEAKER_03]: You're supposed to push the little marble down, and that's what carbonate's it.

34:10.164 --> 34:15.009
[SPEAKER_03]: But I've seen videos where people like it would explode, but they had a hard time pushing it down.

34:22.097 --> 34:22.778
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's not bad.

34:22.978 --> 34:23.699
[SPEAKER_03]: Taste kind of like

34:24.977 --> 34:29.540
[SPEAKER_03]: Those one little seltzer waters kind of a little sweet.

34:29.560 --> 34:29.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:31.041 --> 34:33.323
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still confused about the marble.

34:33.343 --> 34:34.564
[SPEAKER_00]: You said it carbonates it.

34:34.804 --> 34:36.245
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't know what the hell it does.

34:37.085 --> 34:37.826
[SPEAKER_03]: It's for kids.

34:38.686 --> 34:40.948
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because I mean, it has some way fine for kids.

34:41.168 --> 34:44.490
[SPEAKER_03]: But if I was a kid, I would have broke that bottle and to get the marble.

34:45.411 --> 34:47.512
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I would have had cuts all over my hand.

34:50.354 --> 34:51.195
[SPEAKER_03]: Good luck reading it.

34:53.457 --> 34:53.937
[SPEAKER_02]: No kidding.

34:54.198 --> 34:55.198
[SPEAKER_03]: I also got these.

34:55.578 --> 34:56.639
[SPEAKER_03]: Now these I have had.

34:56.659 --> 34:58.659
[SPEAKER_03]: I used to get them as a kid.

34:58.679 --> 35:05.302
[SPEAKER_03]: They can get them on the by the Japanese Chinese food and usually in a grocery store.

35:05.782 --> 35:07.543
[SPEAKER_03]: They're by like the pocky sticks.

35:08.143 --> 35:12.265
[SPEAKER_03]: But they're the little wafer chocolate filled koalas.

35:13.105 --> 35:14.025
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you ever had these?

35:14.926 --> 35:15.926
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god, they're so good.

35:16.446 --> 35:17.787
[SPEAKER_03]: They're a really good texture.

35:19.047 --> 35:19.608
[SPEAKER_03]: each one of them.

35:19.888 --> 35:22.710
[SPEAKER_03]: They're kind of like an Nutella filled animal cracker.

35:23.990 --> 35:29.113
[SPEAKER_03]: But each one has a little different koala character depicted on it.

35:30.154 --> 35:31.735
[SPEAKER_03]: Mine says fight on it.

35:32.956 --> 35:38.739
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's got his office trays, but yeah, they're filled with a little chocolate as a texture eater.

35:38.859 --> 35:39.880
[SPEAKER_03]: It's one of my favorite.

35:44.063 --> 35:44.664
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I like this.

35:45.305 --> 35:45.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

35:45.905 --> 35:49.610
[SPEAKER_03]: Just a wafer crunch and then the chocolate's not too sweet.

35:51.873 --> 35:59.002
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, the, um, it kind of tastes like a, oh my gosh, what's that called?

35:59.062 --> 36:02.827
[SPEAKER_00]: It's those little things that you get from Chinese restaurants.

36:03.274 --> 36:03.874
[SPEAKER_03]: fortune cookies.

36:04.034 --> 36:04.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

36:04.534 --> 36:04.794
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

36:05.074 --> 36:05.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

36:05.435 --> 36:08.495
[SPEAKER_03]: It has that way for a recipe like crunch.

36:08.675 --> 36:10.256
[SPEAKER_00]: But it has that little chocolatey.

36:10.476 --> 36:10.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

36:10.896 --> 36:11.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

36:11.236 --> 36:13.817
[SPEAKER_03]: Which I love a chocolate dip fortune cookies.

36:13.897 --> 36:17.098
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's that's probably why I don't know how I feel about the carbonated software.

36:17.638 --> 36:24.760
[SPEAKER_03]: It had a little like a little bit of a wing to it as grandma would say had a wine.

36:25.360 --> 36:25.880
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

36:26.780 --> 36:30.001
[SPEAKER_03]: Would not get again, but the marble thing was cool.

36:30.401 --> 36:32.762
[SPEAKER_00]: What confuses me is that it says that

36:34.775 --> 36:36.335
[SPEAKER_00]: It has corn syrup in it.

36:37.816 --> 36:40.316
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know most countries you can't have corn syrup.

36:40.396 --> 36:42.697
[SPEAKER_00]: It also has red artificial flavor.

36:44.738 --> 36:48.238
[SPEAKER_00]: With that number forty and in most countries you can't have that either.

36:48.539 --> 36:51.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe just the kind they send to America.

36:51.139 --> 36:52.500
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably like you're giving that.

36:54.510 --> 36:57.192
[SPEAKER_00]: What says imported into Los Angeles?

36:57.912 --> 36:58.693
[SPEAKER_00]: From Japan.

36:59.033 --> 37:00.935
[SPEAKER_03]: So I didn't cost more with the tariffs.

37:01.635 --> 37:03.176
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, well, maybe you got it right before.

37:03.196 --> 37:05.018
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, those koalas, I get them.

37:06.218 --> 37:07.960
[SPEAKER_03]: You every so often, not too much.

37:08.160 --> 37:09.961
[SPEAKER_03]: I like stuff that I really like.

37:10.101 --> 37:14.124
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't get all the time because I like to keep it special, I guess.

37:16.866 --> 37:18.907
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like that marble is just so dangerous.

37:19.148 --> 37:22.110
[SPEAKER_03]: Like how many kids have choked on that glass marble?

37:23.039 --> 37:24.482
[SPEAKER_01]: It becomes a rattle when it's going.

37:24.502 --> 37:24.682
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

37:24.722 --> 37:26.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's so true.

37:26.485 --> 37:32.796
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I would have gotten yelled at in the back seat of the car by my parents, but like quite rattle in that damn horrible.

37:33.905 --> 37:36.187
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't even taste like strawberry.

37:36.207 --> 37:37.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it doesn't.

37:37.549 --> 37:40.952
[SPEAKER_00]: And how I can really taste is the carbonation.

37:41.012 --> 37:42.494
[SPEAKER_00]: Like just taste like carbonation.

37:42.574 --> 37:49.000
[SPEAKER_03]: I think of it by like foreign products, because normally like if it's fruit flavored, it'll taste better.

37:49.020 --> 37:53.545
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like it'll have a better actual fruit flavor, but this is kind of like

37:54.045 --> 37:55.566
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I don't know.

37:55.586 --> 37:57.208
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it just reminds me of mineral water.

37:57.808 --> 37:59.449
[SPEAKER_00]: Just drinking plain mineral water.

37:59.469 --> 37:59.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

37:59.890 --> 38:00.670
[SPEAKER_00]: With a sunlight.

38:00.851 --> 38:01.891
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like seltzer.

38:02.132 --> 38:02.372
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

38:03.192 --> 38:04.614
[SPEAKER_03]: I always forget they're called seltzer.

38:04.654 --> 38:09.357
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like like the alcoholic drink white claws, but without the liquor.

38:11.379 --> 38:12.300
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would not do it again.

38:12.360 --> 38:12.560
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

38:13.000 --> 38:13.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be buying that.

38:14.141 --> 38:16.983
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like like from Mexican restaurants where you can get there soda.

38:17.123 --> 38:17.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes.

38:17.944 --> 38:18.745
[SPEAKER_00]: That's very good.

38:18.765 --> 38:19.565
[SPEAKER_00]: That's very sweet.

38:19.725 --> 38:20.586
[SPEAKER_00]: And get it, Dollar Tree.

38:20.846 --> 38:21.447
[SPEAKER_01]: I like those.

38:21.467 --> 38:22.548
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, me too.

38:23.545 --> 38:24.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I really like the orange one.

38:24.686 --> 38:25.767
[SPEAKER_00]: This is my favorite.

38:25.807 --> 38:27.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they sell my Dollar Tree.

38:28.670 --> 38:29.090
[SPEAKER_03]: Do they?
