Gravity Called in Sick - Unhinged Episode
14 Plays11 days ago
On this episode of BTE, Jess and Ana crank the chaos to eleven. What starts as a spooky stretch of road where downhill somehow looks like uphill turns into a full-blown accusation that physics is lying, protractor-pushing raccoons are on the loose, and mysterious trunk flour handprints may or may not prove it. Along the way, they spiral into personal road stories, random adventures, and just all silliness insues.

From haunted forests and unsolved disappearances to true crime cases buried deep in the moss and the mist, we're digging into the dark secrets hiding under the evergreens.
00:00:19
Speaker
Each episode will explore real cases, eerie encounters, and the legends that keep the Pacific Northwest up at night. So grab your flashlight, lock your doors, and join us beneath the evergreens.
Episode 16 Begins with Banter
00:00:53
Speaker
Happy episode 16. sixteen Lucky number 16, our lucky number. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, great. I feel like we had such a bonding experience last episode. Yeah.
00:01:05
Speaker
I know were good friends, but this this really just sealed the deal. I feel closer to you than ever. In fact, I feel like we should just go ahead and get married now. Let's just announce it. Oh, tell me about your ring. You never told me about the ring. Oh, yeah.
00:01:20
Speaker
yeah So it's, this is, you can't really see it very well. home that But it it was so much fun.
Anna's Forging Adventure
00:01:28
Speaker
Anyone in the Seattle area, Lawless Forge, such a cool experience.
00:01:33
Speaker
So for the ring class, you literally got like a piece of steel that they had like, they had like taken layers of different types of steel and like, forged it all together like put it all together so it was like a block on like a stick we stuck it in the forge wait until it was like glowing orange which was sick to see and then you that sounds fun but also terrifying not as scary as i thought i was a little nervous because it's like it's kind of small and the forge isn't very big like i was asking the the instructor about forge sizes and this looked like it looked like a camp stove like that's kind of the size of it oh okay and that was a bigger one like one of the bigger ones they had which i was shocked that is crazy i thought they would be i don't know like a smelter or something like yeah i was imagining like a a huge pit yeah but it kind of makes sense there's like 2 000 degrees or something like that like it was really hot okay
00:02:33
Speaker
And so, yeah, you put it in. It's glowing orange. You, like, pull it out. And you, like, kind of hammer it so that it's, and analog like, a cylinder shape. And then you you heat it up. And then you throw it in a hydraulic press, which is pretty fun. cool Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah. And then you – then it, like, flattens out.
00:02:50
Speaker
And – that pressing actually is what makes the like ripples like you mean if you look at damascus damas damascus steel excuse me okay the like kind of wood grainy look to it yeah that is the the different those different layers of steel once they're pressed they make the cool shape oh yeah more you know but yeah okay follow-up question to you yeah did you wear your bergen socks there Oh my gosh, no, because it was so cold.
00:03:16
Speaker
it It's in this big warehouse where the heat comes from the forge and like the heat lamps they have. I was wearing like sneakers and my toes were numb by the end of it. I don't know why I just had this picture of you like with this steel forge and you just had your Birkenstocks
00:03:36
Speaker
it No. I mean, maybe in the summer. It's not a no. It was funny because they give you safety glasses to wear and was like, I'm in my element. I wear safety glasses all the time.
00:03:50
Speaker
Locked and loaded. like I should have brought my own. I don't like the looks they have. Next time you'll come prepared. yeah i love it. That sounds really fun. It
Ring Fitting Challenges and Humor
00:04:01
Speaker
was really cool. And then you like you drill a big hurt hole in the middle. and That's like your ring size.
00:04:06
Speaker
Okay. and then you basically kind of sand it down and then polish it from there. The funniest part, though, is that I have like relatively small fingers. So I had the like the smallest diameter.
00:04:18
Speaker
My husband has huge fingers and they'd like go find an extra large drill bit for his ring. It was
00:04:27
Speaker
And like after you used a belt sander, you put it on like a lathe and they like cut it like cut it down on the outside. Yeah. His ring was too big for the lathe. So he just had to use the belt sander.
00:04:43
Speaker
It was like low-key kind of annoyed. Poor husband, that sounds so bad. it was I would be kind of embarrassed, to be quite honest. The drill... There was so much drilling involved. It's like, it's smoking. It's smelling like shit.
00:05:00
Speaker
And it's taking so long. i think Everyone's like, oh, I don't know. Is it going to break something? Oh, I'm just kind of sitting over there because my my little ring took like one one go when I was done. And it's like, orre all like almost dying on his. That's crazy.
00:05:18
Speaker
It was really funny. I was cracking up. I love it. So do your guys' match or are they a little different? They're a little bit different. The pattern is kind of similar. But it's, yeah, it's because like the the pressing was different. So it's it's more on the unique side.
00:05:32
Speaker
but I like that. Yeah, it was really fun. Highly recommend. They have a bunch of other classes that you do more like actually like hammering. Like you put in the forge, bring it out hammer it. Yeah. So I think we might do one of those.
Interest in Knife-Making and Damascus Steel
00:05:44
Speaker
There's like a knife class that he was super interested in.
00:05:47
Speaker
you're gonna make a knife i'm gonna make a knife they have like two different kinds two different kinds they have like one that has like i don't know why i'm obsessed with knives well i'm not obsessed with knives don't know why i like knives that have the little like they're like little swirls they almost look like nike check marks you know what mean i kind of like papers up is that like a like a almost like a fish hook kind of thing but not quite Yeah, kind of.
00:06:14
Speaker
Gotcha. what I wonder what the purpose of that is. I feel like it's like so it doesn't come out similar to a fish hook. I'm going have to look at this afterwards.
00:06:27
Speaker
oh The makings of a serial killer. A knife killererial killer. I'm going to make my own knives. Yeah.
00:06:37
Speaker
Oh, man.
Mystery of Prosser's Gravity Hill
00:06:38
Speaker
Well, my week's been shitty, so I'm excited for your story. The most excited I think I've been to date. Oh, so this story is fascinating.
00:06:48
Speaker
And it's something like I haven't heard of before. And there's not a ton of details, but it's kind of a cool, like so psychological thing, but like also has like a very real background. So, Jesse. Okay. Yes.
00:07:02
Speaker
Have you ever been Prosser, Washington? Yes, I have. in fact In fact, my father once tried to convince me to move there.
00:07:13
Speaker
Really? yes
00:07:17
Speaker
Interesting. I was really expecting you to be like, no, I haven't been there. For those of you that don't know, like like me, about half a week ago, Crosser is a very small town outside of the Tri-Cities. Yes. Yes.
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah. I almost got a... I almost took a job in Seela, Washington, which is just outside of the Tri-Cities.
00:07:43
Speaker
Maybe within the Tri-Cities? I don't know. It's within the area. It's Yakima. Yeah. Yeah. And... My dad was like, well, the perfect way place to live would be either Natchez or Prosser.
00:07:54
Speaker
And we were. Yeah. Yeah. There was a deep dive then. Anyways, continue. I'm excited for this adventure you're about to take me because it's desolate out there. Yes. Yes. So it's in the Yakima Valley. There's not too much there. Yeah.
00:08:09
Speaker
yeah Like the Tri-Cities is the biggest city, but that's even not particularly big. There is a hill. On North Crosby Road in Prosser. and Where if you put your car in neutral.
00:08:21
Speaker
You'll begin to roll up said hill. That is, oh my God, what hill? Because I'm about to like leave right now and go do that. North Crosby Road. Because you just said that. Cool. Yes, yes. We're really good listeners here.
00:08:38
Speaker
Literally, you just told me that and I said, cool, where is that? Yeah, that's that's on par with this week.
00:08:51
Speaker
So the rumor is that if you put something like a flower or baby hatter in your trunk, when you're at the base of this hill, okay you put your car in neutral, you roll up it.
00:09:06
Speaker
Once you get to the top, you're going to see small handprints on your car from the ghosts of the kids that pushed you up the hill. And there, yeah. And there's an abandoned, Oh, well like a grain elevator, like abandoned grain elevator, some other abandoned houses nearby. And they all seem to be haunted.
00:09:25
Speaker
That is I'm fascinated. But what, so on your trunk or like in your trunk? Near your trunk. Near your trunk. Okay. Yeah, so the baby powder like kind of in your trunk, like off to the back your trunk. Yeah.
00:09:36
Speaker
Gotcha. Okay. I was like, why would they push from the inside? That is the creepiest thing I've ever heard in my life. No, they're not hopping inside. them They are just pushing from the bottom though.
00:09:48
Speaker
The visual there is fantastic though. my My brain is like firing on all cylinders right now. I am so excited to go visit this place. Yeah, it looks it looks super cool. And there's like a big so like chalk kind of start start sign. So you can like it's your you can drive up. You know where to start and like where to put your card. in neutral like It's super well known, it sounds like.
Debunking the Gravity Hill Legend
00:10:09
Speaker
so That is cool. Right? so what's the meaning behind the kids, though? Just a reason why. so okay as trying to real...
00:10:20
Speaker
Real life things, real life explanations to this strange occurrence, the ghosts are kind of what people think is happening. That makes sense. Yeah. I don't know, though. If I saw a little handprints, the theory could be made that it's a bunch of raccoons.
00:10:34
Speaker
I don't know. Just keep going. The story's great.
00:10:41
Speaker
it So. I'm so sorry. So, yes, I am definitely adding Prosser to my next road trip to the to the east side because that's I really want to test this out.
00:10:55
Speaker
So. I'm going just to spoil it a little bit. It's not actually the ghost. No, stop it.
00:11:05
Speaker
I know, I know. But in true Anna fashion, I need to talk about the science behind what's actually happening. It's raccoons. That's what it is. It's not raccoons.
00:11:18
Speaker
Oh my god, this is going to be a wild episode. I'm so sorry. guys are in for Okay. It's not little kids. What is it? Tell me, I guess. You guess.
00:11:29
Speaker
I know what happened. I feel like it's probably something like the electromagnetic field and the tectonic plates misaligned. And so you go upwards instead of downwards. I don't know. Gravity reverses.
00:11:44
Speaker
So I think like like electromagnetic waves, some strange like substation. I feel like that's a really cool answer. Yeah. But alas, it's just an optical illusion.
00:11:57
Speaker
I hate that. Denied. Denied. That is fake news. It's fake news. people factoroided When I was telling my husband about this story, he starts telling me that he was really into optical illusions as a kid.
00:12:11
Speaker
Like really into them. Which just warms my heart and is one of the many reasons that I love him so much. So no, while the electromagnetic waves would be super cool, yeah, it's actually just an optical illusion. And while this Gravity Hill and Prosser sounds like it's very specific and it's pretty unique, they're actually more common than you would think. There's a lot of different towns in the world that have these quote-unquote Gravity Hills.
00:12:39
Speaker
Gravity Hills. yeah Gravity Falls is one of my favorite TV shows, but that is not Gravity Hill. I was thinking about Gravity Falls when I was writing this episode, though. I haven't actually seen the show, but the name popped into my head.
00:12:51
Speaker
You haven't seen the show? No. It's good. Grunkle Stan is my spirit animal. That sounds about right. For those who know, you know. Actually, I think i'm a mix I'm a mix. Anyways, besides point. So, okay, because that reminds me of the mystery spot. There's a place in California kind of kind of by where I live. I think –
00:13:11
Speaker
But it's like this house that's built like an optical illusion where you can walk and it makes you look like you're really so like you're almost upside down or something crazy like that. I can't remember exactly, but I love optical illusions. Oh, my gosh. Me, too. So there's actually two different types of gravity hills.
00:13:27
Speaker
OK, there's so the first type is called has to have contextual inclines. which clients okay right it sounds very like studious very like i just started physics 101 right and just a quick disclaimer disclaimer for everyone i'm not a physics gal did not speak to me very much when i was in school you give me some like differential calculus loved yes not this yeah so Essentially, the way this optical illusion works is you have two parallel roads.
00:14:01
Speaker
oh One with a steep downward slope and the other with a slight downhill slope. Okay. So the steeper slope is going to kind of skew your perception. So when you're at the top of the more mild slope... And then you put your car in neutral. Yeah. You're going to start rolling downhill, but it's going to look like you're going uphill because of the forced perspective of the steeper slope.
00:14:26
Speaker
Cool. That makes no sense. Right? I need to like i need to like see it. there was i I saw a couple photos when I was researching it. That helped a little bit. But I now really want to go like create a whole contraption and test it out. 100%. I need to like go see what the area looks like. Yeah.
00:14:45
Speaker
So... But the Prosser Gravity Hill is actually going to be the second type of Gravity Hill. It's not that one. Okay. Yeah. But I do want to, like, create a whole diorama now and, like, see what it looks
Fascination with Optical Illusions
00:14:55
Speaker
like.
00:14:57
Speaker
Do, like, a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids situation and, like, get really, really small and go into an RC car or something? Yeah. Yeah. like it Okay. So the second type of of Gravity Hill, that's the one that we have in Prosser, that is actually a False Horizon Gravity Hill.
00:15:14
Speaker
So the valleys and the hills that are surrounding Prosser in the Yakima Valley, right? There's specifically in the spot of this hill, it makes it look like you're at the bottom of a hill. Like basically just the whole area around and like the weird kind of hills in the distance and that really intense horizon. yeah It makes it look like you're going uphill, but you're actually at at an incline or a dec decline, excuse me. And that's why you're able to, that's why you're moving.
00:15:44
Speaker
That kind of, that actually makes more sense to me just because I've been in that area and there are some weird plains. I don't know what you call them. There's a specific name for the hills that are out there. It's like a lot, there's like a lot of plateaus. And then just kind like, I feel like the, I mean, obviously it's like relatively like,
00:16:05
Speaker
hilly and rolling it was like rolling hills but like rolling plateaus. A lot of the towns are like almost in these valleys that are way down and then they're almost surrounded by i want to say cliffs but that's not right. It's like a sheer faced mountain type situation. Yeah.
00:16:21
Speaker
And it's like no matter where you go you're kind of surrounded by those things so it would make sense that At one point, it seems like you're going up, but you're truly going down. Well, maybe. i don't know.
00:16:33
Speaker
going to need Einstein to explain this to me a little bit. but Yeah. I i need want to go investigate because i want to like you may or may not find me at this hill with a protractor. trying to The angle. I like it.
00:16:47
Speaker
But I'm super intrigued with exactly what the skyline would look like in the distance. Yeah. Because it seems super it just seems very strange to me that your your Your perspective changes that much. I think that's a really cool thing about optical illusions broadly. Like, they don't yeah they don't make any sense. And your brain is trying to, like, trying to understand, but you really just can't comprehend what your eyes are seeing. it it's It's so sick.
00:17:11
Speaker
That makes sense. I mean, perception is like a... i mean, that's essentially what history is all about, is how someone has perceived something. So... Yes. I don't know. That's kind of crazy that it actually extends to nature, too. I don't know how much I like that, but...
00:17:26
Speaker
Interesting. Right? But it really, i think it brings back kind of the importance of like science in a way, like the hard science of it Because like you do go out to this this road with a measuring device, right? And you're going to be able to to understand that a you're going downhill. And like yeah there is a logical explanation.
00:17:45
Speaker
But I don't know. it feel It almost feels like the difference between like art and science in a way. Like you have your facts, right? But then everything else is like, you just You just can't quite comprehend. So you're going to – I don't know. You're going to write about it. You're going draw about it You're going to make it unique to yourself. Make it make sense. Yeah. There's definitely going to be like the the Anna peoples of the world that go there with a protractor and try to prove this out scientifically. And then there's going to be the Jesse people. I don't know why I couldn't say my name.
Scary Encounters and Strange Adventures
00:18:16
Speaker
There's going to be these Jesse people of the world that –
00:18:19
Speaker
put flour in the back of their car looking for the hamper we got to meet in the middle absolutely and that's why we're friends and that is why we compromise each other can i say one more story since this is already such a hectic episode Oh, yeah.
00:18:37
Speaker
One time me and my day child, this the same time that I was going to take a job in eastern Washington, where we were house hunting and we stayed a weekend over there and we decided that we were going to look for UFOs in the sky because over there it's like super clear. Yeah, not a lot of light pollution. So we're driving through these apple orchards because they're everywhere.
00:18:58
Speaker
And I'm starting to feel like I'm getting lost and we're going down this road that seems maybe a little like it might actually be someone's farm and not actually a road. And so, but we come across this driveway and there's this house in the distance and the house, the blinds are closed.
00:19:14
Speaker
It's kind of like up further on the driveway. The drive is probably like 300 feet up. And so I'm like, okay, there's no, there's no, there's nowhere to pull over. It's just the end of the road is the start of an orchard. So you're just,
00:19:26
Speaker
you you can't really turn around. Gotcha. So I'm like, okay, I'm just going to do a three-point turn. I'm gonna pull into this person's driveway. I'm going back out. And then we're just going retrace our steps so we can get back. When I tell you the moment my bumper crossed the threshold of that person's driveway, the blinds immediately open.
00:19:46
Speaker
And there's a man in the window with like a gun. me and my daughter were both like, what in that, like I have to reverse out and like drive off super fast. Like it was the creepiest thing I've ever seen in my life. The moment my bumper crossed the the blinds open and there's someone backlit with a gun chilling in the window. And I'm like, how did you know we were even here? And like, how did you know my bumper crossed the threshold of your driveway?
00:20:15
Speaker
Crazy. Anyways, it was the scariest thing ever. And then as we're driving away, the curtains like closing in.
00:20:23
Speaker
What did you stumble across? I don't know, but I'm terrified for my life. I will never go back in that area again. After that, we were like, time to go home. Time to go back in there, baby. This is crazy.
00:20:35
Speaker
Whoa. Yeah. It was a wild ride. There was one time when i was in I was in college. My friend and I, it was like a Friday afternoon. We had finished class. We were just kind of hanging out.
00:20:45
Speaker
And it was wintertime on the East Coast, so it was pretty cold. And there was this lake near us. And it was kind boat launch that would freeze up in the wintertime. And so it was kind of fun.
00:20:55
Speaker
Yeah. So we're like, oh, we'll drive out there, see see what's going on. Just kind of hang out, get outside. We're about halfway there on these like windy roads. And we see this little like dog just like on the side of the road. There's no houses around.
00:21:08
Speaker
And... Me, i yeah i tend to it I tend to spend my time with people that are like very much my opposite. So yeah me by myself, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stop for a dog. I i don't know what's happening.
00:21:24
Speaker
I'm not super comfortable around new dogs. So I would have gone. My best friend yeah is a saint and she's like, oh, we have to stop. We have to help this dog. And I'm like... Okay. Okay. We'll do it.
00:21:36
Speaker
Yeah. We stop. We get the dog. And what ensues is three-hour hunt to find – to get this dog back home. Oh, my God. We're looking at the dog's tags.
00:21:50
Speaker
And there's basically, like, no information on it. Or there's, like, an address on it. And so we – We go and we're searching. Like, there's a name. But it's actually, like, we're we' were in Pennsylvania at the time.
00:22:04
Speaker
And we were... It sounds like dogs at this time in Pennsylvania had to have, like... Some elected officials like name on their collar or something. So I'm Googling the person's name because know who this person is. Yeah. and there's an address that pops up. We go to their house, which like in hindsight, it was like 15 minute, 15, 20 minute drive, like crossing a major highway in the town. I don't think the dog came from this way. Yeah. But like.
00:22:32
Speaker
We were like, okay, yeah, this is the house. they It was not their dog. We're like, okay, next so we don't know's we don't know where this dog is going. Let's take it to a vet, see if it's like chipped or anything.
00:22:43
Speaker
Yeah. We go to the vet. They are no. I distinctly remember. It's like it's kind of late. But we're like, maybe we'll see anyone's there. We go on.
00:22:53
Speaker
Blinds are closed, but the lights are on at the car out front. We're like, oh, sweet. Someone's there. We knock. No one comes to the door. Of course, because I'm not coming to the door.
00:23:05
Speaker
we were there for like 30 minutes. I kept knocking and calling be Like we just have this dog and we can't bring a dog back to our dorm room. Oh my God. So then we're like, okay, it's dark and at this point.
00:23:19
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. We're just going to go back to the road that we were on. Like ask a couple of houses nearby. See if maybe yeah why we didn't, maybe what knew we did that at very beginning. I can't remember, but we go to this one house and And they're like, oh, well you you can call 911 and like read off a code on the caller and they might be able to tell you whose dog it is.
00:23:40
Speaker
And then i think so I think we did call 911. They told us that we're able to find the dog. Yeah. and the, yeah. And then, but then people that we were at the house with They were also like, hey, well we found these two stray dogs that we've just been hanging out with because we're going to take them to, like, 911, like, couldn't identify them. We're going to take them to, like, the yeah the vet to, like, tomorrow or something when they were open.
00:24:04
Speaker
Like, oh, well, we hope you guys find the owners. Do you want a third one? but We now have the owner's name. And so and it was nearby. But it up this, like, steep-ass, windy road on this, like, hill.
00:24:18
Speaker
And it is just two of us. We're like young women and with this little dog and it's dark out. We're like, this maybe is not the best idea, but we're like we've already committed. we don't know to do this dog. So yeah we go up this hill.
00:24:32
Speaker
We get up there and where we get out of the car and there's like an old man sitting on the porch and he just looks weird. Like just like backwoods, Pennsylvania, kind of an odd guy.
00:24:43
Speaker
yeah And there's like two dogs that are like chained to the fence. And like they don't. Yeah. Right. They don't look like they're being like neglected. But like they also like it it just it didn't feel great. But then we're we're like and then he sees it out and's like, oh, you guys found my dog.
00:25:00
Speaker
We're like, oh, yeah, here. And we give the dog back. And then we're like trying to get out of there as soon as possible. Kind of making small talk. And then he's like, oh, like you guys didn't see two more dogs, did you?
00:25:12
Speaker
and we're like, yeah, we actually did. The house down the street has your other dog. He's like, oh, cool. And then he's just like kind of like, we're we're just getting really weird vibes with the whole situation. where Yeah. Okay. We need to skedaddle.
00:25:27
Speaker
Yeah. So we promptly got in the car, left. And what was going to be a one hour, just like little trip to get outside, see the ice. We immediately just went back to our to college. Like three and a half hours later. and we're both like, yeah, we should never tell our parents about this. This is probably from this but a good move.
00:25:48
Speaker
Yeah, let's never pick up
Fear of Rural Areas and Media Influence
00:25:49
Speaker
a dog again. yeah i would have done the same thing, though. Except I probably just would kept the dog. Oh my God. I'm never picking up a dog again. Like I feel a bit vindicated that my initial response was correct.
00:26:04
Speaker
I, Loki, I thought you were, i thought this was going to go down the path of like, you drove past it, you saw the dog and then you like go turn to get it and it's disappeared and it turned into like a S dub situation like a flush pedestrian. Yeah.
00:26:21
Speaker
Do you know what either of those mean? I don't know what either of those mean, no. I'm lost. Okay. Trigger warning for anyone that hates these words. Do you know what skinwalker is? Yes. I didn't know what skinwalker is. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought this was going to go into.
00:26:36
Speaker
uh no no i mean maybe if we hadn't hightailed it out of that guy's place it would have been for sure it sounds like it there's something about i don't know backwoods country that just i think it's like the hills have eyes or like scary movies have really portrayed the the backwoods of places to be questionable but yeah yeah there's a one it's like it's so dark yeah Yeah, like so dark. There's no one around.
00:27:04
Speaker
the it just makes it eerie. Like no one could hear your screams kind of thing. Yeah, I hate it. absolutely hate it. Yeah.
Conclusion and Playful Farewell
00:27:09
Speaker
Okay, so we were talking about gravity and the hill going upwards.
00:27:14
Speaker
Okay, sorry. We got so off track. We can keep some of this stuff in. I feel like they're funny stories. I think we should. We're just going to turn it into a fluffy episode. Yeah, like just as like inside into what like a FaceTime between the two us. Yeah.
00:27:32
Speaker
Oh, that could been kind of a funny thing, like a like bonus content to podcasters on FaceTime. To podcasters on FaceTime. And, you know, I cannot sit still, so I'm going to be showing you everything in my house. Look at this cool thing.
00:27:49
Speaker
I love it. Do we need to like wrap anything up? I feel like this has been a kind of a clusterfuck. So I think that we can just. Let me just put it here. I apologize in advance for this. My week's been crazy. Blame it all on me. It's my fault.
00:28:01
Speaker
No. I take full responsibility for derailing Anna. We're both are just a little all over the place today. So yeah. Moral of the story. Raccoons are the reason why your car looks like it's going up.
00:28:14
Speaker
JK, it's physics and it's an optical illusion. Trust the science. It's not protractors and it's not optical illusions. It is raccoons. Well, the protractor is not doing anything. It's just measuring what's actually happening.
00:28:28
Speaker
Well, then it's doing something because it's measuring. It's not moving the car. But it's doing measurements. Okay. That's it for today's time. We're pushing this
00:28:41
Speaker
yeah New theory unlocked. It's protractors.
00:28:47
Speaker
Raccoons with protractors. That's what it is. Okay, that's it for today's dive into the dark corners of the Pacific Northwest. If you loved the stories or our incessant rambling, be sure to subscribe and follow so you don't miss what's lurking beneath the evergreens next time.
