Hidden in Plain Sight

This week on West of Nowhere, Levi and Shane delve into a whirlwind of unusual stories that have captured the headlines. They kick off with a discussion on the hurricanes wreaking havoc in the southeastern United States and the conspiracy theories swirling around them. From weather manipulation to the Democrats' alleged involvement, the hosts unpack these claims with their signature wit and skepticism.

The episode takes a historical turn as they uncover the mystery of a missing hiker from 100 years ago, whose body was recently discovered on Mount Everest. Levi and Shane humorously question the disappearance and the subsequent discovery of the famed climber.

In a bizarre twist, the hosts recount the tale of a woman found inside a shark off the coast of Indonesia, pondering the circumstances that led to this shocking discovery. They then shift to a more light-hearted yet wild story of a Washington woman whose home was surrounded by a hundred raccoons, thanks to her generous feeding habits.

Adding to the chaos, a bag labeled 'Definitely Not Drugs' is found to contain exactly that, leading to an amusing discussion on the art of hiding in plain sight. The episode wraps up with a somber note on a child attacked in a Detroit park, sparking a conversation about safety and community.

In their Am I the Asshole segment, Levi and Shane discuss a teenager's refusal to babysit her younger sibling, exploring themes of parental neglect and sibling responsibility.

Join Levi and Shane for this rollercoaster of an episode, where they blend humor with hard-hitting stories, leaving listeners both entertained and contemplative.
