YES THE STANLEY HOTEL IN ESTES AHHHH shannon it’s so cool you have to go!! They give amazing tours too aaahh

Emmalena

Not me being from the middle of nowhere Arkansas where the hotel is that Christy was talking about 😂😂

Sophie Lowe

Regarding global warming, it’s a thinning of the atmosphere layers so more extreme temperatures (volatility) happens. Yes it’s poorly marketed, but yes it’s a good litmus test for internet bros who immediately like to go to “look there’s snow” as a climate change rebuttal

Chelsea Trinidad

Every time I catch up on your episodes I’m like “ugh I need to store more up so I can have a bigger binge” but then I can’t help myself every time a new episode drops

Sydney Webb

also yes i obsessively stalk ppl on the internet i need to know every single thing they’ve ever done

Savannah Martin

LOVEEE the guest

Bri Emme

The phone bug thing kinda sounds like the stephen king book/movie called Cell!!

Kat Pierce

idk if i’m just on a good side of the internet but i love award shows and a lot of the content i see around it is people being excited and having a laugh 🥹 and i also just love movies and tv shows so much so seeing the creators be recognized makes my heart happy

Savannah Martin

I've been to the Stanley Hotel (I went over Halloween in 22) and it's a little freaky but MOST of the spirits in Stanley Hotel are chill asf. They mostly just vibe. I went on the ghost tour and the only one that made me feel uncomfortable was in a space guests can ONLY visit on the tour. I literally had a mini panic attack in the room but the rest of them were hella chill and didn't bother anyone. 😅 But if you're worried about staying the night, do the ghost tour! It's super fun! Some other people on the tour got pictures with something behind me. 😅

The ice caps melting allows cold air currents to deviate from their regular course! So yes Shannon go off yes it is climate change

I had amoebas when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. Lost 10 pounds in a week, violently ill… couldn’t get on public transportation for a week to get to the doctor 2 hours away. 10 out of 10 do not recommend

Speaking of insect-borne parasites and worms, I beg you to look up guinea worm disease or leishmaniasis (really any parasitic infections that are found in Africa). They are horrific. There is no treatment for guinea worm disease. You have to pull the worm from your body and it can be as long as a meter. They take a small stick, wrap the part of the worm that's sticking out of your body around the stick and twist it a little bit everyday until the entire worm comes out. It can take WEEKS to get it out. So there are people running around with little sticks hanging from their leg with a worm wrapped around it 😖 nightmare fuel. Thankfully, guinea worm disease is well on its way to being eradicated.

Global warming was actually rebranded as climate change in the media bc people without scientific backgrounds didn't understand that global warming doesn't mean that it will never be cold again. But climate change deniers still use that to "prove" they are right. "If global warming exists, why is it cold in January??" A real gotcha moment in their minds 😂

Jennifer Lake

Are you okay

xknowsall

Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE your content and your voice, however and I‘m sorry to say this but I‘m not a fan of Christy 🥺 I think her voice is hard on the ears, she seems to do very poor research and very often says ignorant things.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Eleonora

Yall should go to the crescent hotel in eureka springs, AR!! (One of the most haunted hotels)

prezlie n.

The FluentlyForward motto IS Fluently Forward!! :) I’ve always loved that you call listeners “Floozies” or “Forward Thinkers” based on the content of each episode :)

Catherine

You how unhinged you both are

Shannon, did you watch Antphrodite’s reading about the Miami sitch? He seemed pretty certain it wasn't aliens but more like a sensationalized story for clickbait revenue. He did point out he foresees a a spike in alien-related claims early this year too… Butttt, I watched the testimony you linked in the show notes, and the guy came across as quite convincing. Still, I'm inclined to trust Ant over a random person. So why would someone create a fake testimonial like that?? 😩 Also, I noticed the guy's TikTok account is full of conspiracy content, especially about paranormal and UFOs. Maybe his desire to witness something like that led him to convince himself it was real?? It's kinda maddening trying to figure out if Ant’s off the mark or if the guy's just an eerily good liar. Lol But I think I’m trusting Ant’s read.

“I already have a job, I’m tired.” I felt that 😂 Plus, the nature of modern work, I sincerely believe, scrambles our brains far more that it use to. Like all jobs - because our attention is so scattered either by too many task for one person or invasive technology.

Jess Thomas

I’m staying at a notoriously haunted hotel next to the Alamo right now so this resonated. I haven’t seen anything this week though! 👻

Lily

i want a fluentlyfinsta

Emma

I used to be on SZA’s finsta hungryhoe8000 but she deactivated it recently😭

Petra Collins who is an artist/director follows the cringemaster account, but to my knowledge her and Taylor are not friends? Petra doesn’t follow Taylor’s regular account, but is known to have been close with Selena throughout the years. She also has worked with Olivia Rodrigo A LOT, so i dont think if Taylor and Olivia have a problem, Taylor would allow Petra in to be one of her 19 followers on that account. That account is definitely someone important, but i dont think it is Taylor. Need to know more about who the 17 other followers are besides Jack and Petra.

catie parisi

I have this. Can confirm!

xknowsall

I loved this episode. Thank you!

Erin

Was the suck_upon public when this was recorded and now it is private?

Erin

I believe it was the NARS “orgasm” blush that looks good on every skin tone.

Jacqueline

Of course we’re very online, or as I like to call it, AWARE. A serious skill set many are missing and why we’ll survive the apocalypse. 😏

SOL88

For real. My friend got us professional makeovers for her 21st and I looked horrific. I can’t trust anyone but me to touch my face lol

Rose Rainbow

They wanted Aritzia and Cinnabon hahaha

Shannon McNamara

That was it!! Yes. And better than my description of “moody” hahahah

Shannon McNamara

when u collab w Christy >>>

Lauren Elyse

Im having my friends do my hair and makeup for my wedding because (a) im cheap and (b) i dont do make and hair on the regular so i dont want to #jumpscare myself in such an unnatural form on my wedding day and (c) i dont think its that hard. I managed to do it for my engagement photos and they were fine.

Zoe Reinus

On the Miami Aliens thing, when ppl started fleeing the mall, ppl called in reports of gunfire/active shooter. FL has been under high alert for a terrorist attack for the last couple months, I think that’s also why the response was so intense so fast. You’ve got a popular mall, full of people, and now everyone’s running, screaming, confused, calling 911. I don’t know if it really was just some hooligan behavior, maybe something more did happen, but I personally don’t think aliens pulled up to a random mall in Miami 😅

Elizabeth Nunez

Climate change is what’s occurring. the overall increase in average temperatures around the world is causing changes in weather patterns. So that means while yes, we have record breaking heat waves in summers, we are also seeing record breaking blizzards and flash freezes in winters. So despite how cold it’s been — unusually cold in some places — it’s still a symptom of the overall rise in the temperature of the planet. Global warming -> climate change

Elizabeth Nunez

Love your collabs 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Katie Stephens

God your phone bug thing is very m night shamalam 💀

sisternotyours
