What is the season and theme introduction for NoSleep S24E24?
Water. It gives us life. We are drawn to it. Yet it holds immense power over us. It can bring unspeakable horror to the most familiar places. Your morning shower, a tranquil riverbank, or the endless ocean. it's time to dive deep into the abyss. From the dark waters of the Cape Fear River, immerse yourself in horror as you brace yourself for the No Sleep Podcast.
Thank you for joining us for the No Sleep Podcast. I'm your host, David Cummings. Well, we've reached the penultimate episode of season 24. And what a chillingly fun season it's been. We may be drying off after spending time beneath the dark waters of horror, but the thrills remain unabated. And the No Sleep Podcast will continue to come to you from the shores of the Cape Fear River, so there will always be a hint of the dark waters in all we do. We're excited to present our big Season 24 finale next week. I hope you'll feel right at home with it. And as we reach the end of this season, it's understandable to take a look back and see if we reach the finish line having accomplished all we set out to do.
I'd like to think we have. And the thing is, sometimes you begin to seek something or work towards something. Something good, something positive, something that will make you feel better about life. And true to the realm of horror in which we reside, oftentimes the best intentions end up revealing that not only didn't we accomplish beneficial ends, but we actually ended up in a nightmare from which there is no escape. On our episode this week, we present tales where people really are trying to do positive things. They want the best for themselves and others. But, alas, their attempts to spread some light into this world leads to nothing but darkness. As dark as the waters of the Cape Fear River. So, brace yourself.
It's time to plunge into the horror of our sleepless tales. In our first tale, we meet Allie. She's trying to look after her health, do all the things that will give her vim and vigor. Unfortunately, she's decided that the best advice for her can be found in online forums. And in this tale, shared with us by author Gail Maitland, Allie learns that while some people want to give legitimate, helpful advice, others don't. Performing this tale are Mike DelGaudio, Sarah Thomas, Atticus Jackson, Ilana Charnell, Dan Zapula, James Cleveland, Jeff Clement, Nicole Goodnight, Jessica McAvoy, Wafia White, Matthew Bradford, Jake Benson, and Mary Murphy. So when trying to do what's best for your body, seek help from actual physicians.
Otherwise, you risk going into a spiral.
My friends call me a keyboard warrior, but I'm not sure I understand what it means.
I do spend a lot of time on Setit trying to understand other perspectives.
Sometimes I do ask a lot of questions and I tend to get wordy with my responses. Does that make me a keyboard warrior?
Do you ever throw around inflammatory slurs that would make an old white grandpa blush? Then you might be a keyboard warrior.
It depends on how heated the conversation gets. I've been known to call someone a dickbag from time to time. Dr. Ruckus, 23 hours ago. A keyboard warrior is someone who, because of the anonymity of the internet, has a blank check to say whatever they want, without consequence. It's pretty great. Allie took a deep breath and pressed start.
This is the last time.
The machine whooshed, signaling the end of the test, and Allie looked down at her reading for the fifth time that morning. 156 systolic, 103 diastolic, 98 BPM.
Fuck, that's too high.
Her stomach was in knots. Her pulse thumped in her head as she recorded the history of the day's readings in her log. 124 over 81 128 over 85 135 over 92 140 over 98 156 over 103 Why is it so high? Ellie tried to calm herself, but her heart was galloping and the adrenaline was coursing through her veins. She felt a throbbing deep in her neck. She couldn't shake the thought that something was seriously wrong.
My blood pressure is increasing because a stroke, a heart attack, kidney failure, diabetes, autoimmune disease, dysautonomia.
