Summary

WE'RE ON TOUR! Get Your Tickets Here: https://floridatourida.com/ In this episode of Ninjas Are Butterflies, we dive into the wildest headlines that feel like they were ripped straight from a sci-fi novel. First, we unpack the bizarre plan of a Walmart billionaire who wants to build a utopian city from scratch in the middle of the desert. Is it the future of urban living or just a really expensive Sims game? Then, things heat up—literally—as we talk about the massive underwater volcano discovered off the West Coast of the United States. Should we be worried, or is it just another reminder that the Earth is constantly trying to kill us? Finally, we head to the swamps of Florida to meet the legend, the myth, the smelliest cryptid of them all: the Skunk Ape. Is Florida’s version of Bigfoot real, or just another guy who didn’t shower after a Gator game? Join us for conspiracy theories, questionable science, and plenty of laughs as we tackle the weirdest news on the internet.This episode has everything: dystopian dreams, seismic nightmares, and cryptid creatures lurking in the humidity.
