Is it weird that I have never wanted a piece of fruit more? Is that bad? Well, look, look, is that good or bad? We know a couple people in this documentary are never getting scurvy, and I feel very good about that. But they're just getting everything else. I know. My goodness. Hi, Julie Benz-the-Vali. Hello, Patrick Hines. Sam, join our Facebook group. It's the TrueGram Obsessed podcast discussion group. Today, as we record this, the NorCal TCO Facebook meetup group turns two. Come on. Happy birthday. How cute. We also have a Discord. We do have a Discord. It's a Discord server. And there are channels within that server. Yeah. And everyone's really nice and fun. And it's just like channels about the episodes, like Patreon episodes and regular episodes, but also channels about like random true crime stuff you want to talk about. Yeah. Or like animal photos. It's like. Somebody started a channel about surfing. Just start it. Great. I'll jump in. That's a thing because you can. Because Because you can. That's the beauty of it. Links to either, they're both in the show notes. Yeah. What are we talking about today? We are talking about wild boys, strangers in town. This is two episodes on Paramount Plus, but we're doing it in one because we can. Because we can. Yeah. They were dubbed the wild boys. So-called wild boys. After they caught the country's attention with an unbelievable tale.

There was a definite split in the community.

One was finding out who they were.

And then there was a group of people, including myself, they were trying to help them.

The younger one was extremely thin.

The situation was getting dire. People started feeling unsafe.

In my mind, I'm like, oh my gosh, they've been with my kids.

You know, they know where I live.

They'd never been to school.

There's no driving records, criminal records, nothing tangible.

What do you know about your parents?

Are they criminals?

Maybe this is all lies.

People wanted answers.

I was getting more and more frustrated.

It was my job to get to the bottom of it.

Are they criminals?

What are we hiding from?

Maybe they're in a cult.

It's not my job to tell you the truth.

So we start off with a very serious retelling of the cinematic masterpiece that is Encino Man. Oh, yes. And if you don't know about Encino Man, Pauli Shore and Sean Aston discover Brendan Fraser. I forgot that Pauley Shore was in that. Yeah, he's like frozen in a block of ice in Sean Aston's backyard, I think. And they thaw him out and they name him link. And then, like, hijinks ensue as they like acclimate him to 1992, California. Yeah, yeah. This guy is explaining that walking out of the wilderness, like this is how he felt. And I'm like, super crazy that you knew Encinoman. About Encino Man, yeah. In the wilderness. But this dramatic retelling of Encino Man, I'm like, look, I am here for the shirtless Brendan Frazier in the first two minutes of this thing. Let's do it. There's a lot of clues that not all is what it seems. From the beginning. So we're in a place called Vernon British Columbia. They say it's a town frozen in time. They say quote. I was like, is that an Encino Man of my friends? I see you Sean the mayor. It's a caveman frozen at time.

The best in time. They say, quote. I was like, is that an Encino Man of my friends? I see you, Sean, the mayor.
