What you doing in the in the About Me section anyways Curtis?
Well let us tell you why! We are coming at you live under your grandma’s floorboards. Where we bringing you dat Down the Bayou flavor with a twist. May meet the guys behind your favorite comedy, true crime, and cryptic podcast.
ALEC (Redacted)
Host — Producer - Swamp-Born Disaster-piece of a Man
Alec (Redacted) didn’t grow up in Louisiana — he crawled out of the swamp like a hungover demigod, covered in bayou mud, cologne that should be illegal, and a look in his eye that said, “Who left the door to hell open?”
He’s the unapologetic orchestrator of Bayou Channel Zero, and the dangerously magnetic host of the sleaziest broadcast ever forced onto the airwaves: The Drunk Uncle Carl Shopping Network, a 3 AM disaster program more responsible for impulse buys than the 70’s disco booger sugar craze ever was.”
Alec (Redacted) approaches true crime like a man who’s definitely fled a parish or two. His voice is pure 70s sin, legally classified by the FCC as “somewhere between erotic paranormal cinema and an OSHA violation.”
Off camera, Alec (Redacted) can be found chanting in his office in some dead language shirtless, drinking beer that expired in the Kennedy administration, and buying rope, candies, and “whatever’s sharp and shiny” at the local hardware store while flirting with the poltergeists like it’s part of a federal sting operation. He moves through life with the ambiance of a man who’s fought a Cryptid, flirted with, and then asked it to co-host.
Rumor says the swamp still wants him back - but the only quote we can get from the swamp is “Call Me.”
The Paranormal doesn’t scare him. He scares the Paranormal. Ghost have restraining orders on. Demons asked for a safe word but weren’t given one. A Cryptid once tried to seduce him and walked away blushing.
He’s Not Haunted.
He’s Not Possessed.
He’s Not Welcomed in Most Parishes.
He is Alec (Redacted) the most haunted man from the Bayou.
Gage (The Bearded Father) Hollowwell
It’s always the quiet ones you have to watch out for….
It must’ve been destined to be consumed by the dark and macabre from the birth (he does get his name from Pet Sematary). Always willing to deep dive into the abyss for the truth, good or bad, and drag the facts to the light kicking and screaming. Being the elder of the group has its advantages though, like those weird strawberry candies but laced with cyanide. With a voice smooth as white chocolate, the stories that come out of his mouth could lull you to sleep or cause you to go to therapy.
Jairus Blanchard
The soundboard guy!
Local auto mechanic and owner of JJ Customs woodworking and 3d design. Avid model kit builder and sometimes drummer.
Although I wish you could always find me on a hiking adventure exploring the world, you can catch me here, at Bayou Channel Zero! (And Imagine That POD 🤫)
Nick (Your Local Ghost Buster) Bruce
A Cajun boy with almost a two-way spilt personality, you could swear Nick was born either in the marsh behind Leeville, LA or backstage at a Cannibal Corpse Concert. Two sides of the spectrum describe this man, and you could place him anywhere in between.
Nick has always had a very strong passion for outdoors and sportsman life, hunting fishing, wood working, and golfing taking up many of his waking hours as a younger fella. However, at the same time the geek inside of him would rear its massive head as video games, art, and metal music took the reins and didn’t let go. Once graduated from college, Nick discovered the absolute debacle that is the offshore oil industry and has since found a career in it.
Content creating was never in the cards for Nick. Never did he imagine to be acting like a chur in front of cameras for other people’s enjoyment. All it took was a phone call one day from his best podna with an idea in mind. On a hope and prayer, Nick dove headfirst into the world of podcasting with his buddies, not having the slightest clue on how to do it. But it is a learning in progress, and we hope you enjoy the comments and the Cajun nostalgia that Nick brings to the table on every episode. It has been an absolute treasure to begin this podcast and do something we love with people we love.
If you are still reading this, then you are the realest of the real. Cheers to you and thank you for checking us out!
Lionel Guidry
Controversial, loud, and always at work—though no one’s really sure what he’s working on. Lionel is the guy who clocks in with confidence, stirs up the room, and somehow leaves with nothing actually done. A walking contradiction with big energy and questionable results, he’s the storm you hear coming long before you see it… and the one you’re never quite prepared for.
Justen (Bearded Child #2) Cheramie
The loudest are always the proudest, but not in this case.
Given an E instead of a I because that was too boring. Born to be different and curious. Living the life of a melodramatic man on a mission—willing to walk the edge, but never past the point of no return. Keeping the peace with the Killer just long enough to get the story worth dying for.
