Episode 80

You're listening to a Tenderfoot TV podcast.

One time I was at a gas station and this guy was giving serious Stranger Danger energy.

I spotted a woman walking out of the store, made eye contact, and just blurted out, oh my gosh, hey, like we were long lost friends.

Bless her, she played along.

We chatted just long enough for him to leave.

I owe her my life, or at least a coffee.

Point is the unexpected happens fast and I want to be sharp, focused, and ready, which is why I'm never skipping my cachava shake.

It's a whole body meal packed with 85 plus superfoods, nutrients, and plant-based ingredients that keeps me feeling energized and clear-headed.

And the new strawberry flavor, it's a game changer.

Real freeze-dried strawberries, creamy texture, zero junk.

just seriously delicious fuel.

I've also been loving the vanilla and coconut acai, but this strawberry one, sweet, refreshing, and somehow still a full meal.

I blend mine with a splash of oat milk and frozen berries.

It's fast, smooth, and keeps me going for hours.

So, yeah, no cold plunges, no weird routines, just good nutrition that's ready when I am.

Radio Rental.

Wait a second, so...

Oh man.

I just finished up my jigsaw puzzle.

It took me about 6.75 hours of all my exotic birds.

And I got my cause, I got a cockatoo, I got a parakeet, some finches, I got a Quaker parrot, but I'm missing a piece.

Where the heck is that thing?

I don't know.

Aw, man.

You know what calms me down?

A slurp of my slush.

Whoa,

that is a flavor explosion in my mouth.

I did a suicide at the slushy machine.

I got every flavor they had.

Mango, cherry cola, chocolate freeze, pineapple, banana, cherry cola, and then brown water.

I thought it was a flavor, but it was genuinely just brown water.

Anyways, welcome back to Radio Rental, a video rental shop with an exclusive collection of the scariest stories you've ever heard.

All told by real people.

If you don't know me, that's cool because I'm the new guy, but it's Chirpy Fitzhammer, and I'm going to be your host for today.

I'm also Terry's former massage therapist/slash

acquaintance.

Oh, hey, Malachi.

I gave him that nickname.

That's Malachi.

He's a kitty cat.

Anyways, just want to give a shout out to my buddy Terr.

Thank you, man.

This is a really sick gig.

I've just been like playing my old Game Boy.

I chew on my gummies.

I slurp on my slush.

I keep my Tamagotchi alive.

I'm just playing with my jigsaw puzzles.

And then your life is good.

Whoa.

Whoa.

I do not like that.

The lights have been flickering like crazy lately, man.

I hope I don't have that thing where I pass out when lights flicker.

What's that called?

Anyways, um, don't really know what's up.

It's pretty freaky.

I hope I'm not supposed to pay the electrical bill or something.

Look at the instructions.

No, no, no.

Well, even if I had to, I'd put it on my stepmom's credit card because we don't get along.

Anyway, I'm sure you're here to explore our exclusive collection of true horror tapes.

Haha, you freak, you nasty freak, you nasty-minded freak.

Last week, we popped in a couple tapes involving some touring bands with bad luck.

That's three D's on that bad.

Let's see what we have in store for you this week.

I bet it's cool.

And get it?

In store, cuz I'm in a store.

Whoa, I'm kind of getting the hang of this thing.

Rad.

Enjoy and try not to sweat too much because this is so scary.

And then you got sweaty pits, but then you gotta go somewhere important, like over to your dad's house, but your stepmom's there and then she calls you out for having sweaty pits.

And you're like, come on, Sandy, lay off me.

I'm just trying to do my thing.

And then

she's such a dick.

My son had just turned one.

We decided, hey, let's go take a trip to Monterey.

So we took a trip to Monterey with me, my wife, and the baby.

It was a good little trip.

It was a cool little three days away from everything from work and all the stress.

When we got back, we noticed the baby started coughing.

And then the cough got really bad.

Our baby was really sick.

I'm about to leave for work one morning.

She tells me, hey, the baby needs medicine.

I forgot to pick some up at work.

Can you go grab some?

So I go, yeah, of course.

There's a Walgreens right across the street.

So I figured I'm going to drive over there real quick, come back, drop it off.

It's about 11, 11:30.

It's a busy street, it's a main street.

There's a red light right there, and you know, I see traffic all backed up.

Plenty of cars in the parking lot, but nothing too crazy.

And I get out of the car, and already I forgot the medicine that my wife told me to buy.

So I call her on the phone.

I go, hey, what was the medicine again?

And she goes, oh, yeah, it was this brand that the pediatrician said was okay.

And just remember this one.

I'm like, okay, cool.

And I got her in my ear.

I hear the baby crying.

I'm walking towards the front, and I see a woman, and she's struggling, putting her baby into the backseat of the car.

And I look over and I feel for her because I'm like, oh man, I'm in that same situation.

I know exactly what that's like.

My wife is still talking in my ear, and I make a right into the Walgreens.

The doors open up.

I saw a checker at the front waiting for customers, and I hear distant talking over the aisles.

I hear people towards the back.

I hear regular conversations that you would hear in a pharmacy.

As I walk in, I hear three beeps in my ear that the call failed.

Mid-conversation with my wife, the call drops.

And then the door is shut behind me, and I look up.

Everything changed.

The checker behind the register was not there anymore.

The music that was playing stopped.

The normal warm lighting of the Walgreens, gone.

Any ambient noise that I heard from customers, completely silent.

The cars outside and any noise I originally heard when I first walked in, completely gone.

And I was just alone.

Alone in the store, alone in the situation, alone.

Just alone.

It felt like I was not supposed to be there in that moment.

It wasn't a subtle change.

It wasn't anything that gradually...

faded out.

It was like a completely different place.

The noise from any talking from the customers had gone completely silent.

The lighting, which was normally just a yellow lighting, was now blue.

The whole store just felt dead.

I look over to the aisles.

I don't see anybody.

And I look at my phone and my phone is off.

I look out the doors and all the cars that were just there are gone.

The woman that was just putting her her baby in the car is not there anymore.

So I stop and I just kind of assess the situation like what?

What's going on?

I kind of look down a couple aisles.

I don't see anybody.

So I yell, I go, hello?

Hello?

Twice.

And I remember when I said that, I'm like, dude, this feels like I'm in a horror movie.

No response from anybody.

I look up at the mirrors that Walgreens has up on top and I don't see anybody in the aisles.

I peek my head around the corner.

Don't see a single person.

I grab my phone because I'm like, I should film this.

So in case my wife asks me or if no one believes me.

And of course, it won't turn on.

The screen is black.

I'm playing with the button.

Nothing's happening.

It was really weird and I'm just thinking to myself like, what, what is this?

I go down the aisle and I make a sharp left and just like that,

the lights turned their normal yellowish color.

There's people in the aisles I can see again.

There's music playing on the speakers.

I hear one man talking on the phone.

I hear pharmacists and I look up at the front and I see a checker there mid-transaction with somebody

that same checker that was there originally ringing up someone mid-transaction.

There was

life again in the store.

The life that was missing for the past 30 seconds was there again.

And I kind of just stopped and I just sat there for a second and I was like, what just happened?

What just happened right now?

I look over, you know, at the people in line.

I'm like, were they all not talking?

Were they all just quiet?

But one of the guys was on the phone.

I would have heard him.

I look over behind me.

There's people in the other aisles now.

I just feel confused and I feel alone in this moment because clearly none of the customers around had the same experience.

I didn't know what to do.

So check my phone and my phone's working again.

And I have three missed calls for my wife.

I go, okay, I'm going to call her in a second.

I go, I get the medicine and I get rung up at the front.

The man at the register asked me, could I help you with anything else today?

I just kind of stared at him and I was like, no,

I guess not.

As I'm just standing there like thinking that there's got to be a logical explanation for this.

I leave, drive the car back to my house.

I'll drop the medicine off with my wife and the baby.

She goes, are you okay?

I go, yeah, I'm going to call you.

And we'll talk later.

I get to work and I called her a little later on

and I say,

hey,

what happened today?

She goes, yeah, you looked kind of shaky when you came home.

Filled her in on what happened.

I go, hey, do you think maybe the cars caught a green light and then that's why there was no cars there?

But why were all the cars in the parking lot gone?

And why was the cars parked on the street gone?

Maybe the woman got her baby into the car just right, right when I turned around and drove away.

Maybe everyone everyone in the aisles was just one aisle over and for some reason no one was talking.

My wife goes, well, maybe you were stressed out.

I go, yeah,

maybe.

And she goes, how long were you in this weird place?

Or how long did you feel like this?

And I said it was about 30 seconds.

Well, maybe I had some sort of episode.

She goes, yeah, but the call dropped.

I I called you about three times, but every time it said that your phone was out of service.

She goes, it didn't even ring until the last time.

I go, and how long was that for?

She goes, about 30 seconds.

Okay, well, I would think I was completely crazy, maybe, but having my wife on the phone with me and her time stamp with that call dropping perfectly lined up.

with this weird experience that I have.

And I wouldn't accidentally turn off my phone.

I wouldn't do anything like that.

It was just weird.

I didn't know what to do, what to think.

I didn't know who to tell besides my wife and my friends.

And they all agreed it was weird and

drive myself a little crazy thinking about what happened.

What rational explanation do I have for this?

Maybe I had some sort of anxiety or a panic-induced episode,

you know, for this brief 30 seconds in time.

I am a very rational person.

And my wife would call me a skeptic when it comes to most things.

I had asked my brother, I go, what do you think?

And he goes, do you know what limital spaces are?

You went into a limital space.

From what he described, it was like when you slip into this

alternate universe or timeline.

He said it's usually things like

an airport or rooms that are empty or things that are nostalgic from your childhood or places that are like mundane to you that you're not supposed to spend an extended amount of time in.

Except when you're in this place, something feels wrong and off.

And there's almost a feeling like you're not supposed to be there.

And I thought, well, that's interesting.

Well, I I think that's also far-fetched, but I also can't think of a rational explanation for everything.

Maybe for one or two things, I could maybe.

All the things combined, it's a little difficult for me to try to be rational about it.

I don't know what happened that day, and

I don't think I'll ever find out.

Damn, that was trippy, man.

Did anyone else's eyeballs just pop out of their skull because that was so freaking trippy?

It kind of reminded me of that one time I went to the pharmacy to get my ED slash ADD meds.

And the pharmacist is like, hey, sir, what's your birthday?

And I was like, I don't know.

And so then I went to reach in my pocket and grab my ID and I realized I wasn't even wearing any any pants.

And then I was like, is this a dream?

And he's like, no, no, it's not a dream.

So, whoa, there goes the lights again.

Man, what is up with that?

I may or may not have taken my medicinal gummies like a half an hour ago.

So I'm like not in the mood for any like flickering trickery, right?

All right, you know what?

Let's reground ourselves, take a little grounding break, maybe do some meditation.

Let's listen to some ads and we'll be right back

fall is right around the corner and it's the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with pieces you'll actually wear all season that's why i've been turning to quints look i just got some henleys a nice little button down but something to consider is their mongolian cashmere sweaters soft cozy and perfect for layering as the temperatures start to drop and they just start at 60 their denim is durable fits just right easily transitions from workdays to weekends And when you want that polished, classic edge, their real leather jackets pull an outfit together without the high designer price.

What makes Quince different is how they do business.

They partner directly with the ethical factories and skip the middlemen.

So you get fabrics and craftsmanship you'd expect from luxury brands at about half the price.

It's the kind of quality that lasts through every fall, year after year.

You know how some flavors just are a season?

For me, fall is crisp air, crunchy leaves, and that first bite of a tart green apple, which is why I'm obsessed with Groon's new limited time flavor, Grooney Smith Apple.

It's only here through October and it honestly tastes like you're walking through an apple orchard in a cable-knit sweater with a warm apple cider in hand.

Fall in a gummy.

If you haven't heard me talk about Groons before, they're my daily, convenient, comprehensive formula packed into a snack pack of gummies a day.

Not just a multivitamin, not just a greens gummy, not just a prebiotic.

It's all of those things and more at a fraction of the price.

And yes, it tastes great.

Each pack has six grams of prebiotic fiber.

That's three times the fiber of Leading Greed's powders and more than two cups of broccoli.

The ingredients are backed by over 35,000 research publications.

I love that I can throw a pack in my bag and know that I'm getting 20 plus vitamins and minerals, 60 plus nutrient-dense whole foods, and none of the stuff that I don't want.

They're vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, and come in low-sugar or sugar-free options.

You know know what time it is it's tape time here's the sequel to the first tape that has nothing to do with the first tape here it goes

i grew up in a small town

population was like 900

obviously not a lot of exciting things happened growing up

By the time I was, I think, 17, I had pretty much explored every square inch of that town

I really did as cliché as it sounds know it like the back of my hand

I was I think 16 17 and every day trying to figure out something to do

I was with a friend of mine

we reached out to another friend and was just asking them what they were up to They were like, yeah, come over.

We're going to watch some movies later tonight.

And we were like, great.

There were pretty much two ways to get to our friend's house.

There was a long way through the town, but it ended up leading down a kind of precarious, sketchy path alongside of a road.

And there was another path that was almost like a shortcut that we had taken 101 times.

So obviously we chose to do that.

We started like we always would.

It was just a couple minutes right up from my parents' house where I grew up.

The place we would always start was a very small kind of chain-length fence.

On the opposite side of the road was a little driveway that ran to kind of like a farmhouse that we're pretty familiar with.

We'd been there a couple times.

We started walking towards our friend's house and the shortcut was really kind of just through a golf course and a little bit of forest.

But again, we had walked it 101 times.

It didn't take more than 15 minutes 20 minutes tops and it was just a straight line from road a to road b

started just seeing all those familiar landmarks there's the sand trap on hole 15.

a couple minutes later there's just like a utility shed and we're like great we'll be there in no time

as we kept walking

You know, we started at 5.30 or 6.

We're fully expecting to be there, you know, sun setting around 6.30, but the more we walked, we noticed the sun was going down, moon was coming up, and we're like, okay, no big deal.

Maybe we walked later than we, when we thought.

When we were supposed to get there, fully expecting to see that other road,

we still hadn't.

We saw kind of a thicket of trees right on the other side of those trees.

There's gonna be the road that's right across the street from our friend's house.

And at this point, it was dark.

We got to this thicket of trees and as soon as we did

we started seeing these blinking red lights.

Multiple of them almost like lightning bugs and they were flashing up in the trees above us.

They were almost fluorescent.

like a Christmas tree bulb almost.

They were coming almost like through the trees.

Maybe we had tripped a floodlight that people have outside their house.

As we got closer, we started noticing that there was more of them appearing.

It was accompanied by the strangest alarm, but it sounded more like a siren.

This siren was so unlike anything I had ever heard before, not like an alarm, not like an ambulance,

like a shriek.

High-pitched and so loud.

Almost like a frequency, like when you have tinnitus.

Like a ringing in your ears, but coming from someplace outside of you.

It was all around us.

It was

consuming.

Still looking up at the trees, the lights were almost surrounding us.

That just immediately set in a panic.

We didn't know what it was, but we knew that it wasn't anything normal.

It was

completely unlike anything we had ever seen or heard before in that small town.

With that, it was fighter flight or freeze and and we flew

we ran out of there as fast as we could and

it was hard to think about anything other than those lights and that sound

we ran and ran and ran

still looking up above us in the tree line still seeing those red lights flashing

we see a road ahead of us and we're like okay great we're here

As we approached that road,

we were standing

looking

at that small chain-length fence that we started walking on.

We looked behind us,

we looked in front of us again, looking back at that chain-length fence.

What

just happened?

We were walking just a straight line.

It was all

start to finish.

Golf course,

utility shed, everything that we had noticed in the past up until that line of trees.

At no point did we ever make a U-turn and start walking back.

Even more significantly, we never crossed any other road, any other other path.

It was all just golf course and forest.

We kept trying to rationalize, and the more we did, the more it didn't make sense.

Who has red flashing light alarm system outside their house?

At no point did either of us

get lost.

It was again a walk we had done hundreds of times

Crazier theories started to go through our head: like maybe we walked through some sort of portal.

But the weirdest part, I think, was after we calmed down, talked a little bit, we noticed that it was nine o'clock at night.

We had effectively lost three hours.

It really was a walk that was from point A to point B, a straight line that really should have only taken 15, 20 minutes at Topps.

A walk that we had done so many times before and even since then, done that walk.

Somehow we ended up back, looking at that chain-linked fence without ever turning around, without ever walking back,

without

ever crossing any other roads.

That forest, that golf course, that straight line, and yet, somehow, we were back where we started.

Like we had walked entirely around the circumference of the world.

And the look on our faces said everything that we were both thinking.

We were walking back home, because at that point we were just completely wiped out, exhausted with fear, panic, and anxiety.

And the more we talked, the more things didn't make sense, the more things didn't add up.

It would be one thing if I was by myself and this happened.

I experienced it with somebody else, which

was just confirmation that something strange had happened.

Him and I I both, especially the following weeks, retraced our steps dozens of times.

Went back to that fence,

started walking in that same direction.

We walked in the morning, we walked in the afternoon, we tried walking at night, but

it was always road A to road B.

It was never back to road A.

It was totally normal.

We even tried walking the opposite direction.

We tried finding that patch of trees and sure, there were forests and woods and trees and stuff, but we didn't see any, you know, floodlights or sirens or alarms or red lights.

We never saw anything like that again.

The thing that me and my friend both keep coming back to is that we were abducted.

I think it explains the lights, the sounds, and the loss of time.

Losing time

is a big factor in abduction.

Maybe these things abducted us and got confused about the location, where they got us, and they picked us up and dropped us off at the wrong place.

That's like the thing that makes the most sense to both of us.

Nothing else really explains what happened that night.

The more I listen to other abduction stories, the more that it makes sense, the more I have in common with these stories.

I wish it weren't true.

I wish it didn't make sense, but that's what I keep coming back to.

That's the thing that makes the most sense in my mind.

I truly believe that that night we were abducted

and put back in the wrong place

Whoa,

I am missing tons of brain cells after that one because it blew my mind

I don't know, man.

You guys think aliens are real?

I think it's a pretty strong theory, you know, I think I was was graced by the green gods myself.

You know, when I was 17, I was hanging out in the Michaels Crafts parking lot next to the dempster, and the streetlights started to flicker right.

And then bang, boom, I get sucked straight into the air.

And not the good kind of suck either.

Oh, man, next thing you know, I'm having like these weird flashes of being like on a cold table, and these things are surrounding me.

I can't really remember anything after that, except that I was so sore.

It felt like I was doing like the Junklon Van Dam splits for hours on end.

Whoa!

No, not cool, man.

These lights, dude, it's like it's too much, especially after telling you my Michael's craft story.

Too close for comfort, dude.

I don't think that's enough for me.

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine.

15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.
