Doomscrollin #010: Paranormal Pranks, Viral Stupidity, and Hidden History

0:00 - 15:00 | Podcast Awards & Internet Chaos Sam and Midnight Mike joke about podcast awards—are they legit or just a money grab? Discussion on early podcasting days and how awards in Vegas used to nominate everyone just to get people to show up. The Piss Army (their loyal fans) floods the chat. Sam plugs his upcoming comedy shows in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Detroit, Michigan. The Wheel of Doom is introduced—spinning to select random bizarre videos to react to. 15:00 - 30:00 | Internet Outrage & Architectural Conspiracies The first Wheel of Doom clip features a woman aggressively using controversial language online—sparking debate about internet outrage culture. Hosts discuss how being aggressively hot gives people a bigger platform online. Video about architecture affecting brain function—high ceilings promote creativity, low ceilings encourage focus. Speculation that modern architecture is deliberately designed to dull people’s minds and raise anxiety levels. Sam calls the Tesla Cybertruck ugly and compares its design to Elon Musk’s chest. 30:00 - 45:00 | Paranormal Investigations & Hauntings Midnight Mike shares past experiences with non-human negative energy (a.k.a. possible demonic encounters). They discuss ghost hunting—most hauntings aren’t terrifying but just energy lingering in places. Some ghosts have a sense of humor—one even played Pictionary with investigators. Conspiracy theory that hauntings are actually spirits stuck in between worlds during their energy transfer. Sam shares a story about a guy waking up with unexplained scratch marks on his back—potential demonic activity? Tucker Carlson recently claimed a similar experience. 45:00 - 60:00 | Ancient History & Suppressed Knowledge A video clip shows seashells found on top of mountains, questioning mainstream geological history. Sam and Mike argue that scientists guess most of their conclusions and resist change for generations. Debate over whether tectonic plates or some unexplained event put seashells that high up. Sam jokes about not wanting to ask AI (like ChatGPT) for answers because the mystery is better. The shortest clip in Doom Scrolling history plays—so short they don’t even know what it was about. 60:00 - 75:00 | Viral Stupidity & Internet Trends The Wheel of Doom lands on a video of two guys in Eastern Europe playing a dangerous game—tying a water bottle to a rope and smashing each other in the head. Mike compares it to Jackass, but without a paycheck. Sam points out that men go viral by doing stupid things, while women go viral by being aggressively hot or super kinky. They reflect on Steve-O’s career—how you have to keep getting weirder to stay relevant. Internet content today is just exporting stupidity to the rest of the world. 75:00 - 90:00 | Final Chaos & Conspiracy Wrap-Up Another Wheel of Doom spin—people getting hit so hard they start speaking French. Sam and Mike joke about how this is what our money is funding in Ukraine. Discussion about demonic pranks—ghosts messing with people just to cause problems. Mike shares a final ghost story about a haunted scratch attack. Closing thoughts: the world is more complex than we think, and that’s why we doomscroll.   Watch Full Episodes on Sam's channels: - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SamTripoli - Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/SamTripoli Sam Tripoli: Tin Foil Hat Podcast Website: SamTripoli.com Twitter: https://x.com/samtripoli Midnight Mike: The OBDM Podcast Website: https://ourbigdumbmouth.com/ Twitter: https://x.com/obdmpod Doom Scrollin' Telegram: https://t.me/+La3v2IUctLlhYWUx   Learn more about your ad choices.
