214 - The Desert Demon of Arizona That Left Bodies Behind

Andy DeNoon (0:00)

All right, Ninjas, we need a tiny favor from you guys. Look, we know there are ads on the podcast. Sometimes we'll be talking about Bigfoot ripping a guy out of a tent, and then suddenly we're telling you about therapy and work boots, as one does. Ads help us keep making the show, but if you're going to hear them anyway, we'd least like to make sure that they're the stuff you might actually care about. The way we do that is by learning a little more about you beautiful, conspiracy-loving weirdos. So we've got a quick audience survey at gum.fm slash ninjas. It takes about two minutes, and it helps us understand who's listening so we can hopefully make the ad experience a little bit better and keep making the kind of content you guys actually want.

Josh Hooper (0:35)

And seriously, this actually helps us.

Andy DeNoon (0:37)

It really does. This is probably one of the easiest possible ways you could directly support Ninjas Are Butterflies.

SPEAKER_3 (0:41)

You don't have to buy anything.

Andy DeNoon (0:42)

You don't have to join a cult.

Josh Hooper (0:44)

Please don't.

Andy DeNoon (0:45)

So if you're listening right now, take the two minutes, please do it. Help your boys out.

Josh Hooper (0:49)

Two minutes. You can do this.

Andy DeNoon (0:50)

Go to gum.fm slash ninjas to fill out our audience survey. This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, the people who built the world's most powerful AI are now warning us, we may be moving too fast. So it begs the question, why aren't we stopping? What happens if the thing that we're creating becomes something that we can no longer control?

Josh Hooper (1:14)

Then something appeared in the skies over Tehran. No clear explanation, but here's the terrifying part. Something eerily similar was reported in the same region over 50 years ago. So what keeps returning to the skies over Iran? And finally, in the Arizona desert, an old legend tells us something that stocked the frontier, leaving terror and bodies in its wake.

SPEAKER_5 (1:35)

They called it the Red Ghost.

Josh Hooper (1:37)

But what witnesses claimed that they saw riding through the desert was even stranger than the name. All that and so much more on this episode of Ninjas Are Butterflies.

SPEAKER_3 (1:46)

This podcast is brought to you in power by Sunday Cool.

Josh Hooper (1:50)

Watch this or listen.

What was that? We all just started. We all say a different start at the same time. Ready? Three, two, one.

Lily (2:10)

I'm sure the United Nations is being in New York City.

Andy DeNoon (2:14)

Listen, the AI robot is pregnant.

Lily (2:17)

Really? I just go back to that.

Josh Hooper (2:20)

What is the essence of a robot?

Andy DeNoon (2:22)

Your mother.

SPEAKER_3 (2:23)

Calculating. Uh-oh. Your mother.

Josh Hooper (2:26)

Uh-oh. Lily.

Lily (2:29)

Yes.

Josh Hooper (2:30)

For the first time in a long time, actually I don't even know how long it's been since this happened, but the world leaders are meeting in New York City.

Lily (2:39)

Really? Who does this include?

Josh Hooper (2:41)

Well, when this comes out, it probably was last week. Who do you think? Yeah. Who do you think? For the United Nations.

Lily (2:46)

Oh, okay.

I don't know. The people of the United Nations.

Andy DeNoon (2:51)

Think of the biggest world leaders that you know.

Lily (2:52)

I was going to say Putin. Putin's not there.

Andy DeNoon (2:54)

Putin sent his foreign affairs guy, Sergey.

Lily (2:57)

Sergey is coming. Russia is there. Sergey is coming.

Andy DeNoon (2:59)

He's here.

SPEAKER_4 (3:00)

Sergey the Seragant.

Lily (3:03)

Macron. Yep.

Winston Churchill. Who leads England? The King?

Josh Hooper (3:12)

I don't know who the Prime Minister is now. Do you know? Because there's like six within like a year.

Lily (3:18)

Yeah, no, true. Zelensky. He's coming.

Josh Hooper (3:20)

Zelensky is there. A big one is there.

Lily (3:23)

A Kim Jong Un?

Josh Hooper (3:25)

No.

Andy DeNoon (3:26)

He's shorter one. GG.

Josh Hooper (3:28)

GG is there. GG is there. And this is what's on the docket.

Andy DeNoon (3:33)

And Mr. Bibi. NetYahu.

Josh Hooper (3:37)

And when he started speaking, everybody said boo.

SPEAKER_5 (3:39)

No, no, no.

Josh Hooper (3:40)

About I would say more than half of the world leaders walked out of the room.

Andy DeNoon (3:44)

No way.

Josh Hooper (3:45)

And he says uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_5 (3:47)

He says, if any moral cowards want to keep walking out, they might as well. Like he's like, you are all moral cowards.

Lily (3:55)

Moral cowards. What? Like the morality of being at war with Iran.
