This week on Shadow Chat Sessions, things get weird fast.

We start with a headline that sounds like satire but isn’t: an AI police report in Utah that somehow concluded an officer shape-shifted into a frog thanks to background audio from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. It’s funny… until you realize the same technology is being used to generate real police reports.

Then we dive into a conspiracy theory that refuses to die: the claim that a mysterious civilization lived in New Zealand before the Māori. Archaeology says otherwise, but the myths surrounding the Moriori story, lost European explorers, and strange stone formations have fueled decades of pseudo-history.

From there we fall straight into one of the darkest Reddit rabbit holes in true crime — the disappearance of Johnny Gosch, the 12-year-old paperboy who vanished in 1982 and whose case spiraled into allegations of trafficking rings, political conspiracies, and one of the most haunting claims ever made by a missing child’s parent.

Then it’s time for Dipshit Diaries, featuring three criminals who absolutely should have stayed offline:
