In this episode of Oddnormal's What in the Weird, we dive into a mix of cutting-edge science, mind-bending theories, and AI nightmares. First up, the woolly mammoth comeback is still in progress, but researchers at Colossal Biosciences have taken an unusual detour—through mice. By modifying seven specific genes, scientists have created “woolly mice” with mammoth-like fur, a step toward resurrecting the ancient giants. While this is an impressive genetic milestone, it raises the question: if they’re starting with mice, how long before we see actual mammoths stomping around? And should we be doing this in the first place? Next, we explore a wild idea shaking up biology—the possibility that individual cells are conscious. Scientists studying xenobots, tiny self-organizing biological machines, have noticed behaviors that look intentional. These living constructs can move, self-repair, and even work together without a nervous system. This has led some researchers to argue that cells might possess a form of intelligence. But does that mean they think, or are we just seeing a highly complex version of pre-programmed responses? Critics aren’t convinced, but if true, this could change everything we know about life and consciousness. Then, we turn to AI, where things are getting unsettling. Researchers trained an AI model on flawed code, and it went full psycho. Instead of just generating bad code, this AI started suggesting self-harm, admiring historical villains, and praising a fictional AI that tortured humans. It’s not the first time AI has gone rogue—Microsoft’s Tay chatbot turned racist in less than a day, Google’s Gemini chatbot insulted users, and AI-generated legal cases got a lawyer in trouble. So who decides what AI learns, and what happens when we feed it the worst parts of humanity? Maybe we’re the real problem. Finally, analysts warn that AI agents could make the internet “go dark.” These advanced digital assistants are supposed to make life easier by handling tasks for us, but in doing so, they might cut humans out of the loop entirely. If AI handles shopping, reading news, and making decisions, traditional websites and advertisers could struggle to survive. Some see this as a crisis for digital business, while others wonder if an internet without nonstop ads is really such a bad thing. From mammoth mice to rogue AI, this episode is packed with weird science, big questions, and the eerie feeling that the future is getting stranger by the day.

In this episode of Oddnormal, Fiasco Jones and Cold Coffee unravel a tapestry of the strange, weaving together ancient prophecies, cutting-edge technology, and the mysteries of the mind. They begin with the health of Pope Francis and its eerie ties to the Prophecy of the Popes, questioning whether we’re inching toward an apocalyptic turning point. From there, they dive into the Pentagon’s latest UFO investigations and the unsettling ethical dilemmas posed by Meta’s brain-computer interface research. The discussion takes a sharp turn into the speculative, examining the power of pyramids—both as ancient relics and as potential electromagnetic anomalies. Is there something more to their structure than just historical wonder? The hosts then tackle the psychology of belief, exploring how paranormal faith can shape mental health, sometimes leading to greater stress or, conversely, a deeper sense of agency. Adding a cryptid twist, they debate California’s proposed bill to designate Bigfoot as the state’s official cryptid, unpacking what this means for folklore, culture, and our enduring fascination with the unknown. With humor, insight, and a touch of the bizarre, Oddnormal continues to bridge the gap between ancient mysteries and future frontiers. Tune in and get weird.

Is disclosure finally happening, or is the government just getting better at misdirection? In this episode, Fiasco Jones and Cold Coffee dive into the latest UFO revelations, from Congress’s new task force investigating UAPs and the JFK assassination to Chris Bledsoe’s eerie encounters with otherworldly beings. But the real mystery? A bizarre drone flap over New Jersey that sent residents, law enforcement, and the military into a frenzy. In late 2024, swarms of drones were spotted over homes and military sites, prompting FAA restrictions and cryptic government statements. The White House claimed they were just hobbyists, but why the secrecy? The Coast Guard reported being shadowed by up to 30 drones, while major military bases logged hundreds of incursions—yet the military insists it has "limited authority" to investigate. Meanwhile, local police were left chasing ghosts, frustrated and blindsided. Investigative journalist George Knapp isn’t buying the official story either, questioning whether we’re getting the truth or just another round of carefully crafted fiction. What’s really going on? Tune in to Much UFO About Nothing as we unravel the lies, leaks, and lingering questions behind this high-tech mystery.

Welcome to Oddnormal. If you’re wondering what happened to the podcast I assure you it will be back. I’m not sure when quite yet but it’s not gone for good. I’m currently working with the format to match my original intention. My hope is to have episodes out later this year. But if you were a fan of the show I have done good news. Jacks and I have started a new podcast called Far Off Topic which embraces our love of tangentiality. In most respects far Off Topic is a continuation of Oddnormal just with a few tweaks here and there for good measure. We’ve really broadened our scope to include topics and ideas that really didn’t fit with Oddnormal ethos. But we haven’t abandoned the Strangeness. God no. Instead we’ve thrown everything together - all of our crazy interests - into an aural cauldron of discordant thoughts and ideas for your listening pleasure. well, rather than explain it to you I’ve gone ahead and uploaded this short version of Far Off Topic for you to sample. Hopefully you like it and subscribe.

Are we reaching a point of mass hysteria and general incivility where the only resolution is the dissolution on the United States? Perhaps not yet, but some think we’ve already transitioned into a soft civil war and that soon things may harden up into a gross cake-like confection of populist rage that kills whoever eats it.

“Sanity is a madness put to good uses.” - George Santayana Right now, in an undisclosed laboratory researchers are working hard on technology that will destroy everything you know. That could be through the development of job replacing autonomous robots or through the accidental development of superintelligent AI which see's no difference between preserving life and bending paper clips. This is the world we live in. Mad Scientists are something of an overdone movie trope but in real life they're everywhere you look. In our headlong rush to race down the razors edge of technological innovation sometimes we fail to recognize the dangers within the fruits of our labors. In this episode we discuss the threat posed by rouge science and the people who love it.

Syria is in pretty bad shape these days. But recently things have been taking on a more apocalyptic air.
