TAPE 9 - "Signals Crossed"

Tape 9—or at least what’s left of it—is mostly static, warped and broken. But somewhere in the noise, a voice punches through, crackling out what sounds like call letters: "JEAN." Maybe it's just interference, maybe I'm reading too much into it—but it feels intentional. And in Bootstuck, that’s enough to set my mind racing.

Once the tape settles, we’re back to familiar chaos. Our host and Hat Guy recount a baffling trip to the local Costco knockoff—Costdown—where he somehow buys a half pair of boots. A new name, Willy, is mentioned in passing, nudging Bootstuck’s known population up by one... though the average IQ might be trending downward, especially with glowing reviews of the town’s Applebee’s. 

They have an Applebee's? 

The tape ends on a strange, almost deliberate note. But by now, cryptic endings are just part of the scenery.

The deeper we dig, the weirder it gets.
