Episode Details

Intro is by me and doesn't have a transcript.Here are the stories :)Do Not Listen to this Song from the Deep WebSomewhere on some computer out there in the world of the internet off on some machine that is not indexed by Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any of the other popular search engines is a song that no one should ever listen to. I don't know what it is about this music, but it is highly offbeat and weird. Every person I know besides myself who has ever listened to it has either disappeared or done something so heinous and illegal that they will never ever get their lives back. Do not listen to file m3ltd0wn333.mp3. Ever. Don't try it. Don't listen to it with headphones. Don't listen to it in the speakers. Just toss it in the garbage on your computer and don't forget to empty the contents or, if you somehow manage to get it on CD, do not put it in the CD player. Break that CD in half so no one can ever listen to it. Ever.What you will hear is either nothing or something that is very strange. The song is never the same. They say that it speaks to you in an ambient song using theta and beta waves. These waves contradict one another and leave your mind in turmoil. If you're lucky and hear nothing, like what happened to me the first three times trying, then you aren't ready for whatever the song has in mind for you and you will go on with your life as normal. But don't keep trying because no one can guarantee that you will or will not hear anything in the future. It's just best to toss away whatever has the sound and be done with it.I belong to a music appreciation group that popped up in an open forum on the internet back in the 90s. They were using some homemade server side software similar to phpBB although I don't believe that was the forum software used. It was similar to phpBB but it certainly wasn't opensourced. If you don't know what all of that means just imagine that people ran forums from their own domain names instead of groups on facebook or any of the other social media sites out there today. It was a lot more private and you could get away with a lot more. The www was more like the wild wile west than the world wide web back in the 90s. People still had their freedom but with a lot of risks. Of course, there are still risks today but the only reason people get away with what they do today is because there are so many new, naivie people out there using the web. They think they know everything because they have a facebook page or a youtube account and that's the end of it. Please.Most of us in the group had known each other online for a while. We started back in the days of IRC and moved on to the board because topics were easier to keep track of. If you don't know what IRC is then you really need to go take a computer class. It means internet relay chat so in a way it is like messenger but less buggy I guess. I really loathe messenger probably because it is attached to Facebook. But I digress. Back to the topic. JuJuBean, who was the leader of the group, allowed a newbie in. We didn't like newbies much because they often brought crappy ideas with crappy music. Most of the time it was some unknown band or rapper trying to spin off their own flavor of a song or even had written their own. None of it was ever any good. JuJuBean would always listen to the song first and if he liked it then he would send it to us for approval. If we all liked the music then the person could join the board. It had to be unanimous or it was back to the drawing board for the new member trying out.Yes, we were very rude about it but we were all very good at music and didn't like outsiders.That Friday night when JuJuBean had invited Blues182, the chosen name of the new guy, to the board without our consent we were livid. JujuBean came online into the live chat bragging that he had found the best music ever and that we all had to hear it and it was so good that he knew we would all love it so he decided to invite Blues182 into the group without o
