Episode 412: Man Survives Real Life “Squid Game” That Killed 551 People - Funded By Rich Australian Family
December 12th is the night that everyone has been waiting for.
The invitation is cryptic - it takes some guests weeks to figure out what it reads.
“Sdaeh tsilaer & sesserd gnol eit kcalb?”
The secret is this - you have to reflect it into the mirror to figure out what it says.
“Black tie, long dresses & surrealist heads.”
Welcome to the Rothschild’s (one of the wealthiest and most powerful families) newest secret party. Everyone walks in donning a giant bejeweled mask of animals that you would normally hunt. Stags. Deer. Birds in cages.
The staff in the massive mansion are dressed as cats, perched on the stairs, meowing at the passing guests. There’s no way they’re not hunting people afterwards right?
That’s always been the conspiracy. Rich people hunting the poor for sport. But what if it is true? What if it happened in South Korea and became the inspiration of the Netflix show - Squid Game?
