About this listen

Imagine you’re walking through Central Park on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. Suddenly, you see a group of teenagers hanging out by a bench. They look normal enough, right? But instead of selling candy bars for their school fundraiser or washing cars, they’re recruiting for something far darker. They’re like Jehovah’s Witnesses, except instead of wanting to save your soul, they want to completely destroy it.

That’s the internet in 2026, my dear netizens. Except the bench is Discord, Telegram, or 4chan, and those kids aren’t in Central Park. they’re in a basement in Wisconsin, Tijuana, or Moscow.

Today we’re going to dive, carefully and with industrial-grade latex gloves, into the world of the most dangerous groups on the internet. And I’m not talking about anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers. I’m talking about digital criminal organizations that do things so disturbing I won’t even mention them in this cold open.

Ready? Perfect. Because after this episode, you’re going to want to check your kids’ phones with the same frequency you check if you locked your front door.
