Dont Look Under The Internet

Don't look

Mike

a minute when you said that minute and 26 I did it.

Jason

Was it I don't understand how you do that every single time we record again, it's my only redeeming quality. Other than that, it's just, I'm some sort of creature. I don't know why.

Mike

And that's the only thing that makes people go

Doug

like no if there was if there was a creature that specifically stole like, babies socks.

Unknown

I'm pretty sure that's a thing already. Oh, well. Mike, my grandma

Jason

runs in the family.

Doug

Welcome back to the show. Everybody. Dont Look Under The Internet. Hello. Not Look Under The Internet internet. That's Doug do not.

Unknown

Look. Everyone say hello at Doug under

Jason

the internet. Okay. Hi, Jason. I am Jason. I'm Doug. And I'm

Mike

on Terry Crews. Every year of watching Disney chain.

Jason

you Oh, you had a thing you want? Oh, yeah. So before we actually dig into today's episode, um, we have yet another update from the Happy Valley dream survey. I know it's been a lot. But first and foremost, one of our co hosts here had a birthday over the weekend.

Unknown

It was done. It was done bulls doodles over here. Turned 12 Oh.

Jason

very hairy. 12 year old the age of consent. No. Man, whoa, Alabama is technically part of the United States. Are they though? Technically, hopefully not for long but no, he turned 30. So we are all going to share a toast to Doug. And if you're listening in your home, grab some. We'll give you a second. Go grab some booze. And fill up that shot glass real quick for Doug. If you're driving. Pull over. I know you have that handle in the backseat.

Mike

And take a little drone up there. Take it away from it. You know, no, no cops around if there's a cop next to you give him some and tell him why. I'm sure he'll take a shot with you. Should we do the the toast? Yes. All right. Doug, here's the you here's the me if we ever disagree that you here's to me. Love you all. So here's to the troops all boats.

Jason

So prize from the happy dream Valley survey. Now that we've gotten that out of the way. We do have an update for the Happy Valley dream survey. As I said last time, we left it off at someone answering my question of who runs the dream survey with a simple me. I asked a few more questions. Um, hey, Doug, you want to go ahead and read off that last one for me? Yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah, here it is. Let's say do the honors.

Doug

Come on. Okay, that's weird. Let's say this is this dog way. What did Carol stream What did you last thing we? How do you know about Carl? What are the right questions? Is this dog from Carol stream? way?

Unknown

Check out.

Mike

Look, give me the fucking phone. Can't move my fucking mic. Thank you for participating leaving a voicemail who runs during survey me? This is funky.

Doug

How would they know I'm getting a duck. Tell me Give me I don't care anymore. Like sleep 30. That's pretty much over from here. He might as well just get abducted by the Portland dream survey. Yeah. How do they know it's you though? I have a pretty simple answer that question. What is it? I think you do to Mike? No, I'm clueless. What is it?

Jason

What are you holding out on us? Jason? Oh, well, it's obvious isn't Doug's DNA is imprinted in my phone. And now everyone thinks that I'm Doug and gives me that sounds right. We are pretty much the same person. We share penis sizes, and sphincter sizes. Size three, by the way. That sounds plausible, measured, and it's a fun day. But there's another hiring there's another thing that that could be too. What's that? It's probably that it's not real. And it's

Doug

Just your phone number saved in my phone is the dream survey. Oh yeah, I definitely noticed. I didn't want to say anything, but I was like, No, I saw the phone number is a 630 number. Oh, bitch. All right. Well, that's not the dream survey, but I'll play along. Here we go.

Mike

Damn it. I can't do anything right. One of these days we'll we'll pull it off correctly. And actually trick somebody. We do this for a living guys. Come on. We almost made it to where Doug was gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight. And then we didn't I shifting up and down the phone. I'm like, Well, fuck.

Unknown

time stamps.

Jason

Like a quick glance, and then like, just hand it back. But that didn't happen.

Mike

I played it off pretty well. Speaking of a degree. Speaking of having a hard time sleeping. I can think of like five dudes that had a rough time sleeping. Yeah. Maybe for like a good 30 days or so. This is the start of pornography. I mean, it's a small film.

Jason

Well, you do see some nudity later on in this so yeah. Yeah, we're getting into something super fun. Yeah, what are we talking about? Today? We're talking about the Russian sleep experiment. Ooh, I fucking love this story. It's super fun. super creepy. So I did some research at home while while Kelly was home. And I was just doing my thing watching some videos on it. And they made there's like a film adaptations like a half hour short film. And we're watching it and she's just

dicking around on her phone. And she looks up she looks at me and she goes, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you guys? What is this? This is you know, the next step. The only thing that gets me off anymore. That's how I finished baby. we thrive on dark energy. So let's just be real. Yeah. A bunch of vampires. Yeah, we're doing something called the Russian sleep experiment. Russia. It's pretty fun. wait one more time. I Russia. China, give us give us a give us some command. Meaning

more. China, how's it gonna? Break your ears those loud but you're gonna get so what is the Russian sleep experiment? The Russian sleep experiment is a story that it's it's meddled in truth and myth. It's kind of being left up to your interpretation of what happened. Okay. But essentially, it's a story about these five Russian political prisoners who were

Mike

volunteered. And I err, quoted, volunteered voluntold to volunteer volunteer to go and use this experimental gas to help them stay awake. And it is a story full of magic. No wonder more or less. It starts off. It starts off being posted on the creepy pasta wiki wiki wiki. Back in August 10 of 20 2010 creepy pasta wiki the story as we're going to tell it this, from what I could find is the original telling, you can find like other ones online where there are subtle changes here

and there. Some are shorter, some are longer. This is from the creepypasta wiki itself. The the story that I am that I kind of made this around. Okay, so I'm gonna take this as the original story, like the source is what I would say. So just because I found this one again, I found this on the same site that it was originally posted. There's ones all over the place, but this makes me think it's the original story. Okay, so so this is ground zero, I would say so

yes. So what So what exactly is the Russian sleep experiment? What is entailed? Well, let's get into it here. Absolutely. Please, please, please. So, again, it was posted on the creepy pasta, August 10 2010. By user orange soda. You can't fucking find that guy any anywhere. He just disappeared off the face of the earth. That's about you just described half the investigation. Yeah. But even just trying to look up that account or soda, all you

get is this. Nothing else? Just this just that there's no comment. Oh, is a one hit wonder? Yeah, there's no comments. There's no other posts from him just the story and he just poof the Reddit version was scorpions. Sure. Really? here right? Yeah. Danny, I thought you're a animal. Yeah, those were scorpions the animal was a

one hit wonder. But there there's it The funny thing is when I was looking for like, I was trying to look for like the original story and it seems like I found it but I was looking all over. There are so many websites that have like covered this store for some reason Men's Health covers. I saw that. And it's like all these random ads website hits on like Yahoo is

Doug

It's like a mess and it's like what the fuck is doing on here? I get it. I mean it's it catches your attention. I caught mine I guess. I mean, I guess this comes back to just being like one of the original creepy pastas Yeah, I mean it's 2011 years old now this was posted I'm pretty sure it yeah love it. I'm pretty sure this was posted it for like a competition for who can submit the best creepy pasta who can pasta the best? Yeah, who can make the best buki

spaghetti. Let me see the fact that the fucked up thing is is that when you read this like it if you let's say you read this on men's health

Jason

this isn't this to them. This is not a creepy pasta No, no real life thing. Well, yeah, too many websites around the world. This was absolutely real. And very well, you'll see why. So we start our story here with some Russian researchers in the late 1940s. They kept five people awake for 15 days using experimental gas based stimulants. They were kept in a sealed environment to be carefully monitored. They they kept like track of their oxygen levels things so the gas didn't

fucking kill them. Because you know they're experimenting on them. You don't want to kill your bad dad. They had

Mike

they had since the 40s. They didn't have like cameras and stuff always monitoring and they had like microphones and a five inch glass porthole window. Yeah, five inches. Yeah. Yeah, that's some thick glass. It's probably bulletproof out. Imagine I said it a porthole and a non ship was. So they did.

Doug

Like, you know, let's throw a circular porthole in our lab in this prison. Not a giant window that we can see. Oh, five inch board that doesn't make for a very healthy work environment either. You know? No, like, especially if you're the guy that's his desk isn't next to the one five inch window and

Jason

to be fair, I would rather have a window than not. Yeah, I have at work I have zero idea. What is what it looks like outside what time it is you walk in and it's day you go back out. 10 hours later, it's still day. What happened?

Mike

But it this, this chamber was stocked with like, books it was stocked with like, five cots one for each of them to sleep on. running water and a toilet. It also had enough like dry food in there to last them a month. They were these people were supposed to stay away for 30 days. They only made it 15.

Jason

Like so. But why? Why did they do this? Like were they volunteers Like what?

Mike

So they were political prisoners. So to answer your question, so the Americans had their drug that was keeping their their soldiers awake during battle. And then the Germans had their drugs which the two drugs are escaping my mind right now. It's matter. It's basically

Jason

the Germans had a crocodile crocodile is the one. That's the one that makes you eat people's faces. No, the crocodile crocodile was the one that if you like, like put it on someone they do whatever you tell them to. I think isn't that what it is? No, that's zombie dust. That's an episode we should do later for fucking Sure. Because I knew way too much about

Oh, God. Okay, so So basically, this is like a they're trying to one up everyone else in terms of correct a stimulant that like improves their, you know, combat the efficiency or isildur make the soldier stay up longer and do more things.

Doug

Yeah, basically, Russia saw the Germans go through the blitzkrieg on this meth like substance and the Russians were like, let's make a guess. Even. You want meth? No, I won't make better meth other Ivan. I can only think of the name Ivan.

Mike

We want to guess we want the guy I don't know. I know Bill, just gas. Yeah, they're just these five people. They experimented that were just political prisoners. They were deemed enemies of the state during World War Two. You see this a lot in this era. There was the the NKVD political prisoner massacre that happened in the 1940s as well, which was that it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a giant massacre of political prisoners that happened all around Russia, Ukraine, places like that.

Within the 1940s it was a short span Russia killed 9000 political prisoners. You can probably assume some of them were experimented on just like these five were

Jason

cool to kill Jesus. All right. Um, so let's get into some details experiment. Get some details go. These political prisoners. Basically they were told that if they spent the full 30 days instead In confinement, you know, being subjected to this experimental gas that was going to be used on Russian soldiers to help, you know, make them more effective in battle. They were able to stay in this room for 30 days, they were promised their

freedom. That seems like a pretty damn good deal to me if I if you were a political prisoner, and somebody said, like, hey, go in this room stay awake for 30 days, the gas will help you stay awake. Once you're done. You're no longer prisoner. Would you say something?

Doug

Like, I'm gonna try, but I can't. Because I sleep very easily.

Jason

Yeah. Tell one of my four food groups, but something tells me they were never planning on setting them free.

Mike

I don't think Yeah, I don't think the privacy setting their head free from their shoulders.

Jason

It did give them something to look forward to. Which I guess is important in such trying times as World War Two.

Mike

And it was Yeah, it was the 40s to tell me one fun thing that was going on in the 40s they had a boil their food, tootsie rolls. All right, to tell me two things. I really don't know.

Jason

If they had them great. Um, no. So they were so they were put into this, this chamber it had viewing portholes, as Mike said. Keep in mind not about not about not about No. Do you think it is it has portholes, you know, the thing that makes things boats is not a boat is a prison. But so the for the first five days everything was absolutely fine.

Subjects hardly complained everyone promised they would be freed if they submitted the test did not sleep for 30 days, their conversations and activities were monitored. And it was noted that they continue to talk about increasingly traumatic incidents in their past. The general tone of the conversation took on a darker aspect, even after the four day mark. So they're just having water cooler talk for the first couple days. Well, you fucking run out of shit to talk about like, I mean, it's right

during World War Two. Steve. Mondays, right? The seller just could you believe the big game yesterday. I was crazy. You can't even talk about like, why you're there? Because you're all fucking there for the same reason. You're like, oh, where do you end for? And in your mind? You're like, I already know why the fuck you're here. This is pleasantries. You can't like there's nothing that I can just only stare at this brick wall for so long. I need some sort of human interaction.

Do you think they kissed? Oh, for sure. That's the only way this the only version of this story in my mind. That makes sense. Do you think they cuddled? No, but they for sure slept beans. And now the dry food. That's it. So no, slap beans, LSA dry beans, and they could slap those around. But as far as we know, there were no women prisoners. So they can you know, I can flick beans. Now they can. They can just slap their own.

So after this first five days of being in confinement, that you know, they started to complain about the conditions and circumstances that led them to be there and where you're going to

Mike

if you're a political prisoner who'd. I'd like to lodge a complaint about the way my cell is. Oh, man, I can't believe I got captured. Yeah, I'm so mad. What's wrong with prison cell? No, no, it's a bit dingy and moldy. This exact replica of my house.

Doug

What do you try to do say? Toilet paper? Only one play

Jason

Ivan's house just as nice. This if not nicer? Yes, we are all named Ivan. Every, every one five.

Mike

The only way to get staffed is I've been to that over there. I've been 17. But yeah, so you know, the five days goes by. They started complaining about their circumstances, the events that led them there. And then they started to demonstrate some severe paranoia. They stopped talking to each other. Again, ultimately whispering in the microphones. And the one way mirror portholes.

Jason

I believe they all seem to think they could win over the trust of the experimenters by turning on each other. And then so they would each just you know, dig up some shit on each other or make shit up about each other. I heard Randy talk about no Ivan. I heard no, no the prisoner that I'm given this prisoner name. His name is Randy. So okay, so neither No, I haven't I heard Randy talking about how he thought you had coffee breath in the morning. I just want to let you know, Ivan.

Doug

I'm sure that's exactly what it sounded like it. Yeah, it had to be just shit like that. Because what are you going to again? What are you going to tell these people they don't already know. Like, this is all just desperate cries for help to like put yourself above the rest to make you look like you deserve freedom, and they don't. But the researchers absolutely suspected that this was just an effect of the gas itself and not, you know, their fair competition is just the

influence of gas. Yes, gas equals competition. Well, considering it was a testicle experimental gas like, Who knows? Like, yeah, I mean, could have caused them to see. Everyone is marshmallow people and then try to put everyone in their mouth. It's a pleasant, the a lot more pleasant than being in a Russian prison cell in the 40s. I'm sure. So they've been captive and awake for five straight days now, right? What? What does that do to a person's

mind? Well, it's funny you ask actually, because I have a sleep deprivation timeline for you. I like that. So there isn't a universal timeline for sleep deprivation. However, like, General stages are just kind of determined by how many hours you've missed. So we'll start with stage one obviously pleases 24 hours. Okay. I've done that. Same everyone has I mean, remember fuckin magic Mondays. Yes. You were there for some of those. Yeah,

Mike

yeah. Yeah, like to go to sleep. Because you motherfuckers are like, morning like 14 hours.

Doug

It was a good time, but either was so 24 hours of sleep deprivation is same as having like a blood alcohol. Blood Alcohol. Drink. So 24 hours, is like having a blood alcohol concentration of point. 10%. Oh, okay.

Mike

So you. So if you want to get drunk, if you're under age and you wanna get drunk, just stay off for 24 hours. Or still your parents liquor.

Unknown

Drive when you're tired. You know, I'm saying like, you're just you'll, you'll breathe a point one Oh, and then you have to go to jail. Your body manifests a bunch of alcohol.

Doug

This is how we beat the system, guys. Okay, so some of the symptoms of being awake for 24 hours are drowsiness, irritability, anger, increased risk of stress, decreased alertness, impaired concentration, brain frog, fatigue, tremors, frog. frogs. Yeah, brain frogs are scary. Don't look into that. increased risk of mistakes or accidents, I guess that could kind of be considered brain fog, frogs, whatever you prefer brain frogs. Food craving, which matters all the time. I'm just

hungry when I go to bed. I don't know what it is. But I always eat like way too much food at 330 in the morning. It's because you're tired apparently. Because I don't get done. I get home from work at midnight and I take the dog out and by the time I'm sitting down and relaxing or editing. It's one 130 then I edit for a bunch and now I'm hungry. I'm starving. I could really go for a natural build. Well, that's why I've got like four boxes of the fucking oatmeal pies in my pantry right

now. Oh, they're so good. They are and

Mike

those raisin cookies were there. Oh, fuck oatmeal raisin right off of so delicious like oatmeal cookies but with without the right Oh, it's so good. And I like pineapple on my pizza. So there's another reason to unsubscribe from the podcast.

Jason

So sorry, let us know on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, wherever Why should we kick Michael? Why do we continue to let him talk on our podcast? Just let us know because we don't know.

Mike

Anyways, I'm pretty sure you can't tell because it's an audio based program. Oh no. Mike, you've got a face for radio. Doug

Unknown

gage

Doug

so the last two side effects of having 24 hours of no sleep is puffy eyes and dark under circles. Which I have all the time so let's discredit that. Okay. Isn't that why? Who here watches Naruto? Pretty good. Yeah. Isn't that white? gaara has the black under his eyes wasn't it because he couldn't fall asleep because Chicago was going to come out and kill everyone. Yes, she probably poopy Chicago, which was definitely what's also shikamaru dad's name and shikamaru was the greatest

character on that show. So join us after the podcast for narrative the pod Dont Look Under The Internet

Jason

for saying gun pod, we're saying pod. If you guys want to hear some, some Naruto talk for a bonus episode. Please donate 50 cents to our fucking ear off. Anyway,

Doug

so that being said, After 36 hours of no sleep, the symptoms become more intense. So you're going to have all the same symptoms you did from before. But you're going to have this overwhelming urge to sleep which makes sense. Yeah, your body's basically saying Go fuck yourself. I don't care what you're doing. You're going to bed you're gonna start to have like micro sleeps, periods of brief sleep without realizing it.

Micro sleeps can be 30 seconds for all you know, you might jizz randomly like Mike, does

Mike

mid conversation just make how's the how's the weather today, Bill? Oh, yeah. All right, yeah, where am I? Huh.

Doug

But you might have some different parts of your brain having a hard time communicating

with itself. So you're gonna have impaired memory, difficulty to learning new information, maybe behavioral changes, potentially, yeah, impaired decision making difficulty processing social cues, slower reaction times and increased errors and your you know, daily going about, you're also more likely to experienced some physical side effects now, which is increased appetite, increased inflammation, impaired immune

function and extreme fatigue. So your body's gonna start taking up pretty heavy hit at 36 hours.

Unknown

Yeah, so after 36 hours, your body's just gonna die. Now, that's essentially what the body's saying. And that's only a day and a half.

Doug

Missing five days is like, way more intense,

Mike

nor they're just whispering and going crazy.

Doug

We have a couple more stages of sleep deprivation. And really, you're just gonna start getting more and more symptoms and more and more physical side effects. So after 48 hours, so we're going for two days now, you're going to maybe begin to hallucinate this you know, this occurs when you hear or see things that aren't actually there. For all of you drug addicts out there. You know what I'm talking about? Other possible zoom. I never did mushrooms and acid

Mike

That's crazy. I was really I didn't see

Unknown

I didn't see a portrait in the woods that I walked through when no

Jason

I never saw reality is picture frames is a series of picture frames that you walk through to get to different locations in your life.

Mike

I've never seen sounds before but uh, I've never looked

Jason

at a mirror and had to convince myself that I was real

Doug

bro. was my favorite story ever. the dumbest story was Robbie was here Absolutely.

Jason

Tell the story of us thinking that I was a figment of his fucking imagination.

Doug

I thought you guys know a little more about us. This makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? So Okay, moving on. Other possible side effects after 48 hours of no sleep is depersonalization. Welcome to the globe. anxiety, heightened stress levels, increased ability and extreme extreme fatigue, which is fatigue times two. And then we get to stage four, which is 72 hours. So after three days of sleep loss, you're going to have illusions, delusions, disordered thinking and much more

depersonalization. And then we hit stage five, which is a Wait, wait for 96 hours or more. We're looking at four days here. Basically, you just can't interpret reality anymore. It's called sleep, depravity, psychosis, so you're gonna literally just start to go fucking nuts. Nothing's gonna make sense. You're just kind of, you're kind of fucked. It sounds like Lovecraft took a lot of his influence from sleep deprivation. Yeah, right. That makes a lot of sense. Now that I think about it.

Jason

Yeah. I think that might have been where he got a lot of his information.

Unknown

And the Russians, one of these guys go to for 30 days. 30 a day five. Yeah, they're on day five. And according to, you know, studies, they're already fucked.

Doug

That's only four days. Yeah, yeah, right. Oh, yeah.

Mike

Well, and there's the real life guy. What was his name again,

Jason

Randy. Randy Gardner.

Mike

He's on the Guinness Book of World Records for staying up 11 days without any type of drugs or anything just up he had help.

Doug

He was also like a 17 year old at the time. I want to say

Unknown

he had like help from like people that would like splash water on him but they weren't given him like meth and be like, don't go

Jason

well, I mean, I've even the government's the US government has been authorizing themselves to keep people awake for 180 hours. It's fun how they can do that week. Oh, like, what the fuck?

Doug

I get mad when I don't sleep for seven hours right?

Unknown

Same looking cranky shit. Hey, US government. You can't do that. No, no, it's okay. I said I can see

Jason

what it is. But no, they'd like we even keep people awake for torture methods for a week. Geneva Convention more like Geneva suggestion.

Unknown

Fucking Guardium bass

Mike

so that was in the first five days.

Doug

So after nine days, the first of them started screaming. He ran the length of the chamber repeatedly yelling at the top of his lungs for three hours straight. He contempt he continued to tempting to scream but basically was making squeaky noise from his throat because he pretty much just physically tore his vocal cords out The most surprising thing about this behavior is how the others reacted to it or rather didn't.

Mike

Oh, I thought they were like cheering him on like, you know, Greg

Doug

fine nobody fucking cares about you. I mean shit after five days I wouldn't give a shit about anyone either. Yeah of being awake and in the same room as them. So so the two non screaming captives they took books apart, smeared page after page with their own feces and pasted them over all the glass portholes, and then the screaming kind of just stopped paving.

Mike

What's it look like in there is much poop. It looks Brown. There's giant brown hole I've Well, I haven't come look. What is it? Ivan? Is Brown is Jesus so like, big headed toilet? Right? Wait, did you say that? They just stopped screaming? Yeah, that

Jason

was a glass portholes recovered up

Doug

after they they poop smeared the walls. were screaming stopped. So they they were whispering to the microphones for a little while.

Jason

But so it's like they just didn't want to be seen. I guess yeah. Once the observation stopped. I wonder what they were whispering into the microphone. Just. I was doing that spirit.

Mike

It was me. I'm gonna take my time. Period. And this was the first phone sex operation.

Doug

They're just making noises like, wow,

Unknown

wow.

Doug

Sookie, let's keep in mind one big thing here though. This is a sleep experiment. They had beds in the room. But they had no bedding on the bed. It was just like right seats.

Jason

Okay,

Mike

yeah, it did have a toilet. But each person had their own little hangout spot.

Doug

I don't even know what to call it. It's probably

Jason

probably literally just like a metal frame with like, some mesh wrists of burlap sack on it or some shit like that. Hmm, my favorite.

Unknown

So that was after what? Nine days? So those nine days, nine days. three more days go by. So around what day 12 Jesus Christ. So yeah, my math not math. Not good now.

Mike

So after three more days, the researchers checked the microphones hourly to make sure they're still working because like Doug said, they just stopped. They just felt fell silent. They thought it was like, super weird that fuckin five people are just sitting in a room after not sleeping for 12 days, and they just are quiet. The oxygen that was in the room with them, the consumption of it indicated that all five of them must still be alive because they're still taking an oxygen.

So they're like, Oh,

Jason

they thought they were dead because they weren't making any noise. They're literally monitoring like the oxygen intake and outflow of the room to make sure okay,

Mike

well, they're in a sealed chamber. So they had that a monitor how much oxygen was going in? So they did no one got a lethal dose of the gas. That makes sense. Yeah, okay. But they did find that the oxygen in the room was being consumed at a very high rate. And they found that it was the the amount of oxygen being consumed in a room was equal to someone doing like heavy, like strenuous exercise.

So like if Usain Bolt just ran that a mile to the Big Five person or Russian orgy it might be but the quiet one apparently.

Doug

A very poopy silent movie that silent orgy.

Unknown

Hey, you know what? I'm gonna give the poop thing a pass? Because if I'm up for 1212 days and 1940s Russian prison, what fuckin else is there to do besides just spear poop all over the like a monkey? You're going to revert back to being a primal monkey man.

Doug

And am I Michelangelo the window.

Unknown

Everyone's just call this I call this one. The Ivan. portrait. We've just lost all of our Russian viewers.

Jason

That's fine.

Unknown

We'll pick it up in Ireland and

Jason

Australia. Or we've just gained a bunch because we're like, yep.

Unknown

I can get in here. This is great. So that's what that's 12 days. 12 days in.

Doug

So so let's, let's go to Fort day 14 morning, actually, the researchers ended up doing something they they were not going to do from the very beginning. They use the intercom inside the chamber hoping to provoke a response from the captives. Because they were kind of afraid that you know, they were either dead or vegetables at this point because they're just kind of no sound coming out of this chamber. And that makes

sense. So the researchers, they said we are opening the chamber to test the microphones, please step away from the door, lay flat on the floor or you everybody walk

Unknown

those dinosaur Well, that's what they said. And then they said they also mentioned that compliance will earn one of you immediate freedom. Hmm, seems like that that also seems like it goes with the whole how before. They're trying to like one up each other. Oh, yeah. Well, why don't you go for it? Yeah, one of you goes free. They're gonna, you know, probably try to pull some fast shit on another guy. So,

Jason

I'm not sure if I was trapped in a room told that the three of us had to spend the next 30 days a week and with each other. I may be like, hey, these two fuckheads

Doug

Oh, absolutely. mind goes to some pretty crazy places. So funny. Funny enough, though, after they were told that you know, one of them could get freedom. They heard a single phrase and a calm voice respond for the first time in like three to five days. And they said, We no longer want to be free. Yeah, that was creepier

like that. So some arguing kind of broke out between the researchers and the military forces funding the whole project unable to provoke any more responses using the intercom who was finally decided that they were going to open the chamber at midnight on the 15th day.

Unknown

So they know they were there. They just decided to say fuck the 30 days we get to check up on these guys halfway through. Well, yeah,

Jason

when their fucking windows are smeared with shit and book pages.

Unknown

I guess you might want to check to see lists. They were thick walls and windows and probably smell like fucking

Doug

Oh, yeah. had to be had to be air tight, right? Because of the gas.

Unknown

Well, yeah, no, that makes sense. Coming out,

Jason

unless the researchers were just supposed to be awake for the whole time to fuck that.

Unknown

Fuck that straight up. So that's very intense on what happened up until the 15th night. How they were on the 14th day and they just felt absolutely silent. All they heard was we no longer want to be free. things that happened on the 15th night were pretty disturbing. This is what happens on the 15th night. The chamber was flushed of the stimula gas and filled with fresh air. And immediately voices from the microphones began to object. Three voices began begging to turn the gas

back on. The chamber was open and soldiers went in to retrieve the subjects. They began to scream louder than ever. And so to the soldiers when they saw what was inside, four of the five subjects were still alive. The food rations past day five had not been so much as touched. There were chunks of meat from the dead test subjects thighs, and chest stuffed into the drain in the center of the chamber, blocking the drain and allowing four inches of water to accumulate on the floor.

precisely how much of the water was on the floor was actually blood was never determined. All for surviving tests objects also had large portions of muscle and skin torn away from their bodies. The destruction of flesh and exposed bone on their fingertips indicated that the wounds were inflicted by hand, not with teeth at the research as the researchers immediately thought. closer examination of the position and angles of the wounds indicated that most of

them were self inflicted. The abdominal organs below the rib cage of all four test subjects had been removed, while the heart, lungs and diaphragm remained in place. The skin and most of the muscles attached to the ribs had been ripped off exposing the lungs through the rib cage. All the blood vessels and organs remained intact. They had just been taken out and laid on the floor, fanning out around the eviscerated but still living

bodies of the subjects. The digestive tract of all four could be seen still working, digesting food, it quickly became apparent that what they were digesting was their own flesh that they had ripped off and eaten over the course of dates. Well, doesn't that sound like a nice time? That sounds like anything but it sounds like my experience at Disneyland.

Jason

What? Well, I remember you texting me saying that you got stuck on It's a small world but we're lying about it. Okay, hold on proceeded to tell.

Unknown

I have to interrupt land.

Jason

Here right.

Unknown

Were you in Florida? Yeah, it's world. It's Disney. right sorry.

Doug

You are talking to People in this table with you are probably the two biggest Disney fans

Unknown

in the world, the world so sorry. I don't know my differences. We'll learn. Okay. All I know is Harry Potter World. Not a Disney thing. No Jurassic Park world. So universal. You didn't go to believe me.

Jason

So basically what we're seeing is these prisoners have succumbed to the effects of sleep deprivation, psychosis and are now choosing to tear off their own flesh and organs and eat it and jam the drain with it. Like that's fucking. That's off the goddamn wall.

Unknown

How much So basically, we're down. one guy's dead. Yeah. And also how much like mold and mildew do you think is going on in there because there's four inches of blood and water just soaking around probably a lot that is not healthy to. That's not a healthy environment to be.

Doug

They could have coated the walls with a virus. Who knows?

Unknown

I mean, you're gonna alert OSHA, please call them right now. Okay, they have OSHA and Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, mother, Russia and Russia. OSHA violate you

Doug

put no so we've got like, That's fucking that's bananas. They

Unknown

imagine being the guy to walk in on that. Like it talks about soldiers walking in just oh,

Doug

I don't get paid.

Unknown

No.

Jason

That's the thing though. So when these soldiers walked into the room, to everybody's surprise, the test subjects put up a fierce fight in the process of being removed from the chamber. These men with their organs hanging

Unknown

out? Yeah, I guess there's beating them with their pancreas or something

Jason

ruptured vocal cords like that. It's kind of by itself.

Unknown

It's being hit

Doug

with like a rib. I'm imagining these people with their their intestines just hanging out of their body. Have you ever seen Shanghai noon?

Jason

Yeah, yeah.

Doug

People love with the rope with the horseshoe tied to it.

Unknown

While the contestants are like nunchucks smacky

Doug

with my sigmoid colon forward. Not so as these Russian soldiers basically stared in awe mouth a gape as these. Well, four, five bodies for prisoners that are alive right now. What? He couldn't do anything. So what happened was his fucking throat ripped out. One of the prisoners basically just walked up to him and just went, that's mine now and he died

Unknown

was communism. That's not your throat. This is ours. Now.

Jason

Another one was gravely injured by having his testicles ripped off artery in his legs severed by one of the subjects teeth.

Unknown

I think every male listener just grabbed his groin and went

Doug

Oh, seriously,

Unknown

this man had to have charged a fully suited guard mouth or brush him out our mouth first. read his testicles on Russian guard. No less Just got off a lunch break. Eating is borscht? And then he gets his testicles bitten off. No one's getting paid enough for this.

Jason

No. Well, that's evident because one of their five of the soldiers that went into this room lost their lives not only because like not they didn't die, then they're they fucking committed suicide after seeing this shit. So

Unknown

we have two casualties in the room and three who would just upset off themselves afterward? I

Jason

can't like Jesus I'm so in the struggle. One of the four living subjects has a spleen ruptured and he bled out almost immediately. The medical researchers attempted to sedate him. But this proved impossible. He was injected with more than 10 times the human dose of morphine derivative and still fought like a cornered animal. Breaking the ribs and arm of one doctor. His heart seemed to beat for two full minutes after he bled out. What what is happening in Russia?

Unknown

And this was the this is the subject right? The human experiment yet, man? Yeah, so now now we're basically down to three alive. Yeah, right.

Jason

So we're now three. Even after his heart stopped beating, he continued to scream and flail for another three

Unknown

minutes.

Jason

Just beat I'm guessing based on adrenaline.

Mike

I mean, if his heart's not beating How is the journal even get into a system?

Jason

That's a fucking good point.

Mike

I should be the Medical Man.

Jason

I quit. You can have my job Mike. No, I

Unknown

don't want it. I've seen what you're hired. There's you gotten poopy on you at one point.

Mike

I don't want that issue.

Jason

On Me in me. That's fine. But now these so these prisoners, they basically saw the gas was being shut off. did not like that. And the closest rush the

Unknown

guard guard well

Jason

so the thing was, there was something they decided to repeat over and over and over again. So when they rushed these guards all these guards heard was more, more more just over and over and over weaker and weaker until he finally fell silent.

Unknown

Oh, did the fucking spleen rupture do that for his heart stopping that no, that was do you think that might have had something to do with it

Jason

that was he commanding his heart to beat more? I don't know what I'm guessing he's talking about the gas.

Unknown

That sounds like a chicken thing. Do you know where you're cut their head off and they can like do things for a little while?

Jason

Yeah. And the human chickens. Russian human jig. This should just be called the Russian chick.

Unknown

There's 23 point 7 million Russian chickens. They're all Russian. Damn. Alright.

Jason

So the surviving test subjects were heavily restrained and moved to a medical facility. The two that had intact vocal cords continuously begged for the gas demanding to be kept awake. Now obviously the third could not because he broke his fucking vocal cords. I thought about the dead one. Oh, no, no, no, he's still alive. He just can't talk.

Unknown

So they're begging and pleading for more gas and the other ones just sitting there just pretty much but basically this team of people trying to keep these other guys alive because they're like, what in the shit? Did we just do? Like they're confused as hell. What a wacky, like, what a wacky Monday. Monday. Yeah,

Jason

like so. I hate to keep going back to my fucking job. But like, I see some, like batshit insane people wake up from anesthesia. And like they start throwing fists thrown elbows and trying to like fight everyone in the room. I've had people wake up screaming I'll kill you all like it's, it's fucking bonkers. But it's noon. It's nothing like this. I would never dream of seeing this in my life.

Unknown

Hey, well, sometimes you just you gotta have a wacky ass day in Russia. I really get the best experience. He's got a case of the Monday. Okay, thank

Doug

you, Garfield. So, the most injured of the three that remained was taken to a surgical operating room that this facility had. In the process of preparing the subject to have his organs placed back within his body. It was found that he was effectively immune to any sedated that they tried to give him to prep for the surgery.

Jason

Was he just like hopped up on fucking adrenaline just for having because he's in shock, right Russian gas do weird thing. I don't fucking know, man. This

Mike

sounds like you remember those, like pop commercials in the late 90s, early 2000s where it's like this is you and then they like crack the egg and it's like this is you on marijuana got Yeah, is there just this like the Russian version like diesel fuel. And then they like, blow up a wall with a grenade and they're like, this is you on Russian gas.

Unknown

Or poop all over the wall does

Jason

join Soviet Army. Yeah.

Doug

I don't know, man. But this dude was he was not so he actually managed to tear most of the way through these leather straps that they ended up getting on his wrists. It only took a little more anesthetic than you know normal to put them under. But the instant that his eyelids fluttered and closed, his heart stopped.

Unknown

Damn dead zone he did dead.

Jason

So what I'm guessing is the adrenaline this gas gave these prisoners basically wrecked them what

Unknown

kept them alive. Was fueling them. Yeah,

Jason

as soon as the adrenaline goes away, like aren't done.

Unknown

Well, I mean, so as far as the autopsy like revealed, the this guy found they found that his blood had tripled and oxygen levels. Oh, shit. Now, I don't personally know what that means from my standpoint. But so the podcast doctor,

Jason

your body has something called an oxygen exchange. Every time you look around and see exchange, yeah. If you want to think of it like that, sure. Every time you take a breath, oxygen comes in, it goes down to the capillaries that are in your lungs, and that is where your blood gets infused with oxygen. That action is carried to your muscles. And that is how that's basically how you use your whole body. If he is triple That means one breath was three times capacity of a normal breath.

Unknown

So is this why he was like super powered in the moment? Or?

Jason

Well, yeah, so adrenaline normally is a vasoconstrictor, which constricts your blood vessels which inhibits blood, or like oxygen in your blood,

Unknown

don't use big words, no, shut up, let's talk.

Jason

So what happens is, is when when your vessels constrict like that, that's partially what causes you to kind of lose sensation. So when you are on an adrenaline high, the reason you were able to do superhuman things is because you cannot feel the damage that is being done to your body. Okay, well that that puts into perspective, kind of some of the things that happen to this guy cuz he right ripping out of his restraints, right took more anesthetic to get him to

actually go to sleep. And this man had nine broken bones besides the fact that his fucking organs were just

Unknown

everywhere, but to say that, that if they can't feel it, that would explain them ripping off skin and bone and shit.

Jason

I mean, there's been reports about people who are hopped up on adrenaline literally lifting cars off of like, kids, the mom from the old

Mike

70s Yeah. Hulk movie that, yeah, banner tried to replicate and then he turned into Lou Ferrigno. Yes, so you saw that video that mom lived in a car he's like I can I can do that shot himself with radiation and gamma rays, Brad turned into

Unknown

Lou Ferrigno.

Jason

This is just this is from a medical standpoint, this whole thing is just fucking bonkers.

Unknown

Russia? Yeah,

Doug

I mean, what can you say other than that? But, uh, so after this, gentlemen, that's the wrong that's the wrong word. Do you ever reach this dude? This guy, so the second survivor so now we're down to two alright easily. This is the guy that was the the first one to start screaming and his vocal cords got destroyed. Okay. He was unable to beg or object to serve surgery. So basically was just shaking his body violently and disapproval when they were trying to you know, put them under.

Unknown

I like how we keep coming back to like, they've only put a lot of like character into this guy with no vocal cords to where now I care about him. I'm falling along with the plot because this character

Doug

I don't want I don't want to perceive as like, oh,

Unknown

how's it how's no vocal cord guy doing this week? Well, love to hear. Well, he's doing

Doug

great talking to you, Ivan. Well, Funny thing is because he couldn't fuckin use his voice. When somebody actually opted in to saying weed, they should try the surgery without anesthetic. He was like, pretty pumped about that. But he couldn't express that. So he just kind of you know, was real giddy.

Unknown

Like, he was like, yeah, so

Jason

I actually, I do you know a bit about surgery pre anesthesia.

Unknown

And

Jason

from everything that I've read, it is almost certainly a death sentence. Like it can happen like it can be successful, but it was like 60% death 40% live well,

Unknown

isn't it like if you do surgery without anesthetic, like you can go into shock you under shock and your body basically start shutting itself down?

Jason

Well, this dude went through six hours of surgery and didn't move a fucking muscle as they did at all God. And literally one of the doctors was like, This is medically impossible. What we're doing right now. I don't know why this I would fucking agree. There's no fucking way. I mean, we have trouble with patients on the table. Who are like asleep. We have to paralyze them because like, you hit a nerve. They fucking Twitch. Like that's just how your body works. You hit a

certain set of nerves. You're gonna fuckin see the arm float or like the leg is gonna kick or something like that

Unknown

to get punched in the face on accident.

Jason

It happens somebody shits in your shoes. It's fine. You accidentally give Jerry a boner on the operator?

Unknown

I don't know.

Jason

It's just the body does all sorts of things share in voluntarily. May we have patients named Jerry they get boners

Unknown

just reminds me like Jerry gergich from like parks and he just has such a bad

Jason

one of these patients is actually just Jerry Yeah, no, it's like you can't perform certain you can't perform any kind of surgery with any sort of accuracy. If you don't have anesthesia. Just fucking doesn't work. Unless you're this guy apparently. Yeah, they were doing you know all sorts of things skin grafts fucking actual full blown surgery to put these organs back and I'm one of the the women nurses actually said that they saw him smile at her a couple times during the operation. He

liked this. He was like, yeah, Mama.

Unknown

What kind of s&m bullshit More skin on my chest.

Mike

graft me Daddy, scalpel son scalpel sama

Jason

I'm never gonna look at my job the same. So that being said, when the surgery ended the subject looked at the surgeon and began to wheeze loudly attempting to talk but obviously we know we can't assume in this must be something of a drastic importance. The surgeon had a pen and pad he actually fetched so that the patient could write his message. And the message was just simply

Unknown

Jesus. He's definitely turned on by that. Oh, yeah, he is a massive raging raging clue. Big old.

Jason

I expected the word Boehner to come out of your mouth and it was not that

Doug

No, no. Oh to South Park or raging clue. My raging.

Mike

So as bad of a time as you know, no vocal cord, man. Should we just give him a name? Jesus, Jerry at this point, no, no. speaks McGee's speaks McGee's nosepiece boogies having a bad time good time if apparently you're him, but that time he thinks he's Yeah, he's on cloud nine. The other two test subjects however, they're given the same surgery both without anesthetic as well. Although they had to be injected with a

parral para Perella Deke. Nope what's the word paralytic paralytic paralytic, they had to be injected with a paralytic for the duration of the operation, the surgeon found it impossible to perform the operation while the patient's left continuously ci there were laughing at him. I don't

Jason

know if I can go back into surgery after this

Unknown

dude, this guy I would just I'm done. I quit my job. Yeah, go back to my wife and just bury this

Doug

drama is fucking Jesus.

Mike

Once paralyze the subjects could only follow the attending researchers with their eyes. The paralytic account at that time, cleared their system in an abnormal short period of time and they're soon trying to escape their bonds. The moment they could speak they were again asking for that stimulus. Guess

Unknown

I'm getting a stimulus tomorrow. Nice. Gas for it is fine just knocks on your door. Hey, President Joe Biden. He just sprays you with wd 40.

Jason

He breaks up topper on your

Unknown

pocket, Sam. Bye.

Mike

The researchers tried again, tried to asking why they injured themselves. Why they had ripped out their own guts and why they wanted to be given the gas again. They were given one response. I must remain awake. All three subjects restraints were reinforced. And they were placed back into the chamber awaiting determination as to what the fuck? They can even do with these people. Yeah. After you after all this thing about the after all this surgery and

all this fucked up shit. They just put them back in the fucking chamber. And they close the door. The researcher is just like,

Doug

you know what, man freaking out? Well, let's go out back Old Yeller, Jesus.

Unknown

I mean,

Jason

I don't understand like, we understand what happens when they're on the gas. We saw what happens when they aren't on the gas. Yeah, they go. I kind of understand. I kind of understand why they put them back on the gas at this point.

Unknown

If it shuts them up, give them what they want. So basically, it was like my cat with fucking trees. So didn't yell at me. Okay, here fuck go away.

Jason

Apparently like so. The commanding officer for the researchers was an ex KGB agent he saw potential and he wanted to see what would happen if they were put back on the gas so you know, they succumb to their requests which is put us back on the fucking gas

Unknown

I haven't even put put them back and guess why would they do that? I haven't do it.

Jason

Because Because I hunch.

Mike

I have hunch

Unknown

throws me I am scientist.

Jason

So in preparation for being sealed back in the chamber, the subjects were connected to an EKG monitor and had the restraints padded for long term confinement. To everybody's surprise, all three stopped struggling the moment it was let slip they were going back on the gas as soon as they heard they were going to receive the gas treatment again. they behaved

Unknown

Hey, very well, they're just the fucking top notch citizens of that point. I,

Jason

if that's what you want to call this, I'm having been the first to be wired for an eg most of the research is reminding his brain and they were kind of they were kind of shocked. So what they saw the first prisoners eg results coming back through their little, their little machine. They were normal for most of the time. However, the machine showed that they flatlined, just inexplicably, every so often, you know, again, being in the

medical fucking field. You don't really take a flatline to like with a grain of salt you don't be like, Ah,

Unknown

you just don't fucking do that.

Jason

You just start you immediately start chest compressions and freaking the fuck out

Unknown

until until we actually get like a doctor listening to the podcast Jason you our resident doctor right now.

Jason

I'm okay with that. I'm gonna be replaced because I just get like bits and pieces and I just see what I see as an assistant. But

Unknown

no, no, it's fine. You know, a lot more if, honestly, if my leg leg got chopped off, like unexpectedly, and I needed to go to someone Oh, I

Jason

could? I could absolutely

Mike

yeah, I would just go to you and see how it goes.

Unknown

Man, come on.

Jason

Me. But now so these flatlines on a medical level it looked like they were suffering just brain death over and over and over again. Is

Unknown

that literally what it sounds like? Where the brain just dies?

Jason

Yeah, it's where the brain stops sending signals to your organs to continue functioning. Oh,

Unknown

they're just lagging

Jason

it's fine. If they're paying is too high. That goes into fucking simulation theory. Yeah, right, which we will touch on at some point but I hope that's not what's happening here because he is a dark simulation

Unknown

glitch in the matrix. They're like Oh shit, go to talk to your friend Tom one day and hey, Tom, how you doing? How was your weekend? he opens his mouth just like dial tone. Like what? And then just, Nah, man, it was great. How was yours?

Jason

But no, so it looked like these prisoners were suffering brain death over and over again and they returned back to normal. Again, that's not fucking normal. As they focused on paper scrolling out of the brainwave monitor, only one nurse saw one of the prisoners eyes slipped shut the same moment his head hit the pillow. His brainwaves immediately changed to that of deep sleep. And then he flatlined for the final time as his heart simultaneously stopped beating.

Oh, so it sounds like sleep is a death sentence for these prisoners at this point. Once you're awake past hour who knows at least

Unknown

15 days so now we only got like two dudes left right. vocal cord man and one other

Jason

Yes. For the sake of the narrative. There are two people left.

Unknown

What was his name again? Ivan. No, the No, no tiny gardener.

Jason

Oh, Randy Gardner.

Unknown

No the that we know vocal cords. Yeah. What do you call them? No, no talk. Oh, no talking McGee.

Jason

No speaks McGee. Thank you.

Unknown

My boy is making it to the end man. It's like watching a

Jason

horse racing right now.

Unknown

We got no speaker game. Coming up on the end now. foreign policy by flatline Charlie's x.

Jason

Line Charlie

Mike

so now the only remaining subject that could actually speak just started screaming to be sealed back in the chamber now. His brainwaves showed the same type of like flatlines as the ones who died from falling asleep. The commander gave the order to seal the chamber with both subjects inside as well as three research shows for fucking idiots why they're late now you have u u u two u three go in with them. See what happens.

Doug

This don't look bad. This is fine. This this Tuesday morning for Ivan Do you mean also Ivan

Unknown

so they have it they started off with five subjects Do you think because they're down to two now?

Doug

Currently they're up to six

Unknown

yeah because there's there's two alive right now right

Jason

there's two a lot Oh right. Why denied so yeah,

Unknown

there's two and then three researchers Do you think they're trying to get five initial test subjects again

Jason

is five like the golden number for this fucking experiment. I'm

Unknown

saying Do you think the guy was like let's get let's do this again. get five get three free fresh ones in there and two happens you know vote so what Stalin's coming in tomorrow.

Mike

He weren't supposed to die. Stop. As he stubbed his toe last Thursday, and it's been bothering him since. Give them something good look forward to he needs some good news. Yeah. So, when the commander decided that they were going to seal the subjects and with the researchers, one one of the three researchers immediately drew his gun and shot the commander point fucking blank between the eyes. Wow, that's a technical foul.

Unknown

But He then took the gun. And he turned it over to the note no speaks McGee and he shot those be McGee. He's blow blues fucking

Jason

brains out brains

Unknown

out, man. Damn it. I know. bankin I had money on that. And now it's gone. You're fucking Welcome to my couch. Yeah, but the worst part so blew his brains out. And then he takes the gun. And he points it at the remaining test subject who is still restrained in a bed. And as the the the research team and everyone just ran away. The guy yells I won't be locked in here with these things, not with you. He screamed this at the master wrapped to a table. What are you? He demanded. I

must know. test subject smiled. Have you forgotten so easily? The subject asked. We are you. We are the madness that lurks within you all. begging to be free at every moment and your deepest animal mind. We are what you hide from your baths every night. We are what you subjected to silence and paralysis when you go to the nocturnal haven where we cannot trust. The researcher paused then aimed at the subjects heart and fired.

The eg flatlined as the subject weekly choked out nearly that's the Russian experiment.

Jason

That is a fucking Grizzly.

Unknown

fuckin fire. That was a fun one. Oh, it is a fun one. So what's our What's our thoughts on Oh, you mean like real or fake?

Jason

I mean, yeah, we can start off there.

Unknown

First off,

Jason

on three we're all gonna say what we think the Russian sleep experiment

Unknown

we're gonna say real or fake. You ready? Your home join in yell yell in your car or in your office or the local gas station.

Jason

If I hope to hear this two weeks from now when this episode comes. I hope

Unknown

you pumping gas at the BP and I just hear

Jason

you ready? Yes. Hey, 123 fake. Yeah, it's wrong. All sorts of fake

Unknown

the fact that we ended up with six experimental you know, subjects

Jason

went down to two or three went back up to say it is

Unknown

such a fun fucking story. But Doug pointed out that there like story issues that I didn't even see like plot holes that I didn't never even noticed. And then I go back and I'm like, oh my god. Yeah.

Jason

If you use critical thinking helps you hear a lot because if you break apart the story, piece by piece, you can definitely pull apart some in consistencies. There's some sloppy fucking writing. Yeah, I mean, besides the grammatical errors that we see in the actual like original posts, to the fact that they're taking their organs out of their body and putting them on the floor doesn't scream you know, instant bleed out to me. I don't know what else does. So it's, I mean, this it's a cool

story. fantastic story. I

Unknown

really, really enjoy it, actually. But

Jason

it's this is one of my favorite creepy pastas. Don't get me wrong. The world is fucked up. Torture exists. I mean, I don't want to go too in depth about it. But like, there's a type of torture called dog rape, like and that's literally where they set a bunch of horny fucking dogs on prisoners, and encourage them to fuck them. Like, that's Fox. But I mean, we do see sleep deprivation as well and a bunch of torture methods. Were right

now in the US. Like I said, it is okay for the CIA to keep a prisoner awake for 180 hours straight. Usually by listening to like, I don't know Justin Bieber or Britney Spears, sometimes Metallica apparently,

Unknown

baby I don't even know was the CIA just just a bigger version of the toy box killer? Yeah. illegal. Well,

Jason

I quote legal it's legal because we say it's legal. That's pretty much exactly what it is the CIA tends to rank actually selves.

Mike

Did you know that the CIA really operates on their own, like, rule and law? Like the so there's like a rule themselves. Yeah. Like there's like FBI stuff, the others FBI stuff. There's like the president and everything like that. But the CIA has like, their own authority, like they can do whatever they want and approve of whatever they want. And they can't be denied. Like if the President was like, Don't raid

my liquor cabinet. The CIA will be like, I wrote this note that says, I can so fuck you.

Unknown

That episode of Parks and Rec where Ron Swanson just gives the cop Yeah, do what I want to do. I have a permit. I do. This just says I do what I want.

Jason

No, like this. As much as I would love this story to be true. Like I this is one of my favorite creepy pastas. I would love for this to be based in rallies. But it's just it's not I mean, they might have pulled elements from you know, the sleep deprivation, torture methods they use. I had a whole bunch of torture methods to go over. But I'd really don't think

we have to. Just because, well, the thing that gets it for me, and the thing that kind of even before reading the story is like, after you read the story, and you know, put in a little research, there's no scientific record of any of this shit happening. Now, if we had a guest that kept people awake, we'd have a scientific journal about it. Not a creepy pasta. I mean, it came from a fictional story website. It definitely say this again. fictional story website.

Unknown

Yeah, I mean, they, they they put the story in, by contest to to Yeah, for who could write the Best Screenplay.

Jason

Yeah. But that didn't stop Men's Health. fuckin saying, hey, by the way. Now, there have been a ton of websites and a ton of outlets that I thought this was true. And that's kind of why we're covering this today is where we'd like to put the rest the fact that there's no it's not real. It's creepy. It's fucked up. It's a good goddamn story. But that's all it is. It's a story like

Unknown

and if you would like to hear us go over more creepy pastas. Please, you know, comment on our socials. Look at our fucking link tree. Can you just

Jason

write Mike a letter like a handwritten letter? Like he's so lonely like he the reason he asks you guys to talk to him is because he has no one to talk to. Yet Laurie don't talk to him aside from Tuesday's No,

Unknown

no worries shuns me. You know and she just throws a plate at me and then goes back to watching bridgerton talking her to Yep, God and I just sit upstairs with the cactuses and they're prickly so they're not the best company but they are growing very well. We have a aloe plant named Allie and she is growing like a fuck and it's awesome that's that's where I spend my time. But there is an exercise bike up there so I exercise. Oh, yeah, good exercise, you

know? Yeah, but I am I am desperately just right Mike. Right me.

Jason

Honestly. Yeah, suggest some some creepy boss that was because like we my Okay, my personal opinion is if we can find some creepy pastas that sound real enough and have enough. My fact based around the goat man, please. Let's dig into it. Look, goat, man. All right. goatees. We're gonna have to go over the goat man. At some point. That's fine by me. Went out again. This is all just a just a story of their fucked up creepy story, originating from somebody who has a need for a

creative outlet somewhere. This seems to be like a good way for him to do it. him or her? Um, but yeah, this is as much detail that went into this. It's not

Unknown

not truthful. Yeah, and you guys probably heard us actually bring this name up Randy Gardner a lot. And he just has the world record for staying up the longest

Doug

like to learn 10 hours,

Unknown

11 days,

Doug

it was 11 days and 20 some odd hours. Literally, he just went to sleep for like a couple of days. And as long as you sleep it off, you'll you'll get out of your your sleep deprivation was like that. Yeah. It's really nothing to life threatening by any means. Unless you know, you know, Russian gas.

Unknown

Yeah. Then you know, maybe you decide I don't need this kidney.

Jason

with your fingers.

Unknown

Yeah, they jump rope with Oregon.

Jason

Sleep deprivation is definitely used as a form of torture. But there's no science behind the whole awake gas like just doesn't exist. That's just powdered meth.

Unknown

A lot of the sleep experiments that I even found online have nothing really to do with sleep time, right? It had to do with like, self isolation. It's all the other shake. What helps you sleep Yeah,

Jason

so like it's peripheral shit like sleep deprivation is part of it. There's usually more to it like solitary, a bunch of other shit. Like there's a torture method I found that was called hell confinement. It's literally solitary confinement. But the kicker is they take manacles, and they chain your legs and your hands behind your back to this iron rod that runs from the floor, up to the base

of your skull. And it prevents you from sitting from sleeping from eating and going to the bathroom basically from being comfortable. And that's, that's like, that's one of the again, sleep deprivation is a side effect of this torture method. And that's kind of just how it goes with the sleep deprivation method of torture. It's just kind of a peripheral to brush off.

Doug

Yeah, this is kind of like way off topic as far as like sleep deprivation goes, but I read one about a guy who he went into self isolation in like a mineshaft. Okay. And he basically was supposed to stay in there for two months, he had a helper. But basically, the idea was to self isolate and have no, like, real concept of time. Okay. They said that he basically had to keep in contact with his helper every time he ate, drank, or went to sleep. So he would be like, go to sleep

now. And then, like, go to sleep. Okay, um, so he ended up coming out he had to basically assume when two months was over, so shit, he ended up coming out after three months, instead of the two, because he fucking guessed wrong. Yep. Because time is made up and is not real in his contract. But basically, they asked him to recite the ABCs when he got out and it took him five whole minutes. Okay, because he just had no concept of time anymore. And like,

Unknown

hey, the, actually, that's that's funny. You bring that up.

Mike

The V sauce does that exact same thing. Oh, really? Yeah, he has gotten like a 35 minute episode where he goes in self isolation, I think for only three days. But he you see him like start going fucking crazy. But he doesn't like he's in a room with just a light so he can't tell what time it is or day or night. And he hasn't a food and water the last three days. Can't talk to anybody. He has no stimulation in there. It's just him. I'd go fucking and he does. He goes fucking

bananas. It's pretty great. I need so he starts doing that kind of stuff where he can't like, he has like rethink things. And he's trying to like go through like the ABCs and he is like stumbling around them and everything. It's actually quite fun. Have a look at that. Yeah,

Unknown

now there's a lot a lot of cool random like sleep.

Jason

Yeah, it's one of my favorite like the human mind is one of my favorite topics. That's why I fucking like Lovecraft so goddamn much is that's all he deals with is the breaking of the human mind.

Unknown
