Speaker 1 (00:00):
From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is
riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or
learn this stuff they don't want you to know. A
production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt.
Our colleague Noel is on an adventure, but will be
returning shortly.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
They call me Bed. We're joined as always with our
super producer Dylan the Tennessee pal Fagot. Most importantly, you
are you. You are here. That makes this the stuff
they don't want you to know. We're rounding out the
end of the calendar year. Gentle reminder for everybody in
the audience that calendars are kind of malarchy. But anyway,
(00:55):
if you're hearing this the evening this program publishes, welcome
to December eighth, twenty twenty five. I can't believe we've
made it almost knock on wood to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Now, slow it down, Slow it down right now.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
In honor of this, my comrade Matt and I thought
there would be nothing more appropriate than to open with
a joke brought to us by none other than super
producer Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Hey, yeah, I heard this one the other day. And
I thought you all might like it. So some explorers
are going through a remote part of the jungle with
their guide. In the first night, they hear some drums.
The guide says, don't worry. You only have to worry
if the drums stop. So they calm down. The second
night they hear the drums again, and once again the
Guide's like, no worries, it's only something to fear if
(01:50):
the drums stop. On the third night, the drums do stop.
The explorers are super scared. They look at the guide
and he says, uh oh, bass solo.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And it's a dangerous thing to have a base.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
It's a dangerous thing. Even both of my cats looked
up at the punchline there, Dylan, I think we may
have some feline bass players in the audience tonight. We
definitely have a lot of strange news. We've got the
Age of Disclosure. That's something that Matt and I have
(02:29):
very much been focused on for a while now. Matt,
we also have a lot of weird news about animals,
about space, and about cognitive science. But before we get
to any of that, could I please guys play for
you an absolute banger of internet ephemera. Yes, I'm so
(02:55):
glad you yes ended me on. That would man, it'd
be awkward. Who was a note? But here we go. Uh,
let us know if you remember this as well.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
By Space with slap Job, it be a great noodle
things it slap me in trouble, so the way with
slapper Slade slapping in troubles, the way with slap Job, Bion.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Space with slap Job. Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Do you guys remember that?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's that's in the age of so many incredible songs
like that. And I do remember that.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
There was a Carl Second one, there was a Pop
Ross one.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They were all bangers, all bangers stemmed to stern folks.
We are. We just played. Hopefully we won't get sued
for this. We just played a brief clip which is
a musical remix of a made for TV ad for
something called the slap Chop. The slap chop is one
(03:52):
of those classic infomercial kitchen gadgets that help helps you
hut things faster. And I actually have a slap chop.
It does work, I can confirm, you know me, Matt,
I'm just a sucker for good advertising, all.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Right, I get it. How could you not buy it
from that particular gentleman who is so just charismatic. We
talked about strangely charismatic folks and at recent episode that's
one of them.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's the time where he used the S word three
times in a row talking about beating people up and rightly.
So I think this guy is named offer Vince Schlomy Shlomi,
more popularly known as the sham Wow Guy. So our
breaking news we wanted to give you is that he
(04:45):
is now after a couple of ups and downs, including
assaulting a woman in a motel a few years back,
he is now running for Congress in the great state
of Texas.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Incredible. Well, we wish him the best of luck, do we.
I don't know. I don't know much about.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It, do not. I want to yes Andrew so hard,
but I don't really think he'd be great for Congress.
I'll be honest. I have not read the entirety of
his campaign. This is primarily a reason or an excuse
for us to play the Sham Wow remix, which is
available now wherever you find the internet. It's a slap
(05:29):
chat mean a great move. Oh day, He's running for Congress. Whatever?
This is our cold open. We have other stuff to
get to Matt. What do you say we pause for
a word from our sponsors, and then maybe disclose our
opinions about the age of disclosure.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Hey, that sounds fun. Should we let people know that?
Quick little update about the Campbell's thing?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Oh right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah great. Note. So, folks,
as we as we recorded our previous strange news program,
we called it, we predicted it Campbell's. The company has
fired the executive who was recorded saying that soup is
(06:16):
for poor.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
People, specifically Campbell's soup.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, yeah, specifically Campbell's soup. As far as we know,
the employee who recorded him has not returned to work either.
He was let go. I remember in our conversation on
that program, we both predicted the executive would get fired,
and we predicted the whistleblower or what we call the
(06:42):
soup blower, would not return to the company.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yep, all your predictions have come true.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Been all your predictions.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
We need to do something with this.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Just once. At some point we are going to be
prescient about a good thing. I wish we were better
at predicting good things, but we're actually knocking it out
in the park with predicting strange and bad things.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
We have some very strange and bad thing updates on
the way.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
After a word from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And we've returned. There were some rumors and then a
trailer about a brand new alien disclosure movie coming out
sometime in the near future, about a year ago a
little before that, and a lot of us we're very
excited about this because we like that topic quite a bit.
We're very interested in that topic, as are many of us. Yes, yes, well,
(07:47):
there is a brand new documentary titled The Age of
Disclosure that you can go watch now. You do have
to pay for it. I found it on Amazon Prime
and I just should have paid like twenty five bucks
for it, and now we buy it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, you can buy it or you can rent it,
but the price difference is relatively slim, and I think us,
both being amateur a ufologist, decided to purchase the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I think it was worth it. I really I
enjoyed the documentary very much. There's much in there to
be excited about and much to be skeptical about, as
that it's pretty much the same situation every time you're
in the UFO UAP topic. You got to just keep
those goggles of skepticism on while you know, looking for
(08:37):
the good stuff. The thing that separates this documentary from
a lot of others are the people that were interviewed,
the access that the creators of this documentary had. Just
give you a small list here of people. The main
one that I really wanted to talk with you about,
Ben was Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio, politically divisive figure for
(09:01):
from familiar yeah, for many years. It is the most
human I have ever seen this person on camera. And
you see him in a setting that appears to be
perhaps you know, in the Congress building somewhere. You the
way he is speaking and the way his face looks,
(09:23):
even while he's talking about some pretty crazy stuff, you know,
rationally pretty crazy stuff about and we'll spoil it here,
but about a program that has been within the government
and hidden away within the Department of Energy and the
Air Force that supposedly is reverse engineering alien craft. But
(09:47):
you see and here Marco Rubio talking about it so
plainly and openly. It just it's one of the more
convincing things I've ever seen on the topic. It's very weird. Weird,
it is.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Very weird, and we do want to note this is
something that Noel would bring up immediately were he here.
Dan Farrah is the director, last name fa r Ah,
and does have I love the point you're making. Does
have tremendous access to people with aviation experience, but primarily
(10:25):
people with political and military acumen. And you know, he's
talking literally to vetted folks. And I agree with you
about Rubio. Rubio, for anybody outside of US politics, which
becomes inside baseball so quickly, is an American politician. He's
(10:47):
been a diplomat, He's been the Secretary of State. He
is a member of what the US calls the Republican Party.
If you are someone who watches infomercial electronic dance remixes
on the internet, you probably remember Rubio best as a
(11:08):
guy who awkwardly drank a little bottle of water.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh yeah, I do that. He's been memified so many times,
mister Rubio.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah. But here he is, he is talking, or he's
he's stating as in arguable fact from his perspective, that
unidentified flying objects. I don't think he says the word aliens,
but he says uap or ufo, however he describes it.
(11:40):
They have been spotted over nuclear facilities.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yes, he says that, but and doesn't he also confirm
the I don't know if he Oh, gosh, see now
that this is one of the things the documentary does.
It will cut between somebody like Marca Rubio talking like
that that is very convincing to not that Jay Stratton
and Luis Elizondo aren't credible in their own right for
(12:05):
their own reasons. They'll just cut to those guys saying
something like the extraterrest real craft you know that are
at Area fifty one or whatever, that kind of thing. Yeah,
So the certainty that you begin to feel as you're
intercutting between people like Tim Bershett, who's you know, a
congressman saying things very plainly about unidentified submerged objects, and
(12:27):
then you know, to other guys. But then also intercut
with like Ryan Graves that we've talked about before, and
a lot of these pilots within the Navy that have
had real experiences and they're testifying before Congress. So you've
got all of this stuff kind of culminating and in
the end, in the end you come away with a
(12:49):
very interesting feeling is though it's all real and it's
all happening, and the most important thing is this new
Cold war that is formed with I guess the pursuit
between between the United States, China, and Russia to re
engineer extraterrest real craft.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Right, yeah, and this is not an original sin of
filmmaking nor speculation. We know and friends of neighbors, longtime
conspiracy realists, you know well that we have looked into
this concept of dark conspiracy reverse engineering of things. Right,
(13:29):
even before the age of the Internet, there would be
various factions saying, hey, how do you explain insert technological
breakthrough here? It could not have been something, right, Matt
is holding up in iPhone. How do you explain these
technological breakthroughs anything from velcro, which is my favorite dumb example,
(13:55):
to nuclear armament, to stealth bombers to wireless communication. How
do you explain this? Could humans have made it? The
vast majority of scientific consensus argues, yes, humans get a
lot of stuff wrong, but they made all of these inventions,
(14:18):
things like the age of disclosure. And some of the
people featured in it are sometimes arguing, often just implying
that the United States, Russia, and China, as you said,
have discovered extra terrestrial extraterrestrial craft that crashed or was
(14:42):
shot down, and from the ruins of that, from the
flotsam and jetsam of that stuff, huh well, unidentified submerged
object shout out. They have reverse engineered technology and slowly
introduced it for into war and then into the public sphere.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yes, And they also state plainly several of the people
in there specifically, oh gosh, it's the two guys who
are the major part of a tip, Louis Alasondo and
Jay Stratton. They speak plainly that in nineteen forty seven,
that roswell crash thing that we've talked about, we went
through Project Mogul. We've done episodes and videos on that.
(15:25):
They say, oh no, that was definitely an extraterrestrial craft.
It was all covered up and it was there was
a decision made at that moment in that time that
we have to keep this hush hush and do everything
we can to reverse engineer this technology because it will
make us again, the US military, the superior force. It
(15:46):
will continue our superiority because don't forget that old Ata
Mom thing had just been invented and deployed just a
couple of years back at that point. That is at
least the story that's being told here. And you know,
if true, it makes a lot of sense. It happens
to line up pretty well within a couple of years
of the formation of the Air Force as a brand
(16:07):
new thing. And if you will notice, all of the
disclosures from pilots coming out have been from the Navy,
not the Air Force. Only a few times have Air
Force personnel come forward and given their statements. And in
this documentary you get some of those Air Force personnel
just deciding to come forward and speak about it. I
(16:31):
don't know, I'm putting this out there for everybody listening.
It's some powerful stuff right now. It's going to cost
you money to watch it. You can wait and it'll
probably show up on one of the streamers you hopefully
already pay for. And you know, if not, make a
night of it and just see what you think. And
we'd love to hear what you think after watching it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
We would love to hear what you think. We've read,
We've read a lot of reviews. We have we have
followed the concept of disclosure for quite some time. We
have also we have approached this with open ears, open eyes, right,
(17:11):
and a great wheelbarrow of salt, not a grain assault
a wheelbarrow of salt. I do want to note that
the two largest air forces on the planet currently are
both from the United States. The Air Force is huge.
The other big air force is the US Navy.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So I thought you're gonna say space Force.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
They're on the way. They're on the way. It's a
race with Uncle Gee. We'll see how it works out.
But the reason I'm saying this here is because it
may be easy if you're not as into UFOs as
I am, or as mad Is wereas Tennessee is, then
you will maybe think, Ah, the Navy, don't they do boats?
(18:01):
Why are the boat guys telling me about stuff in
the sky. It's way deeper than that. This is worth
your time to check out.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well, and why would the Department of Energy be so involved?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Right? And I what I was going to say is
I think we would all enjoy hearing the more skeptical
opinions as well, because we have pretty hard proof that
in times past, various government authorities across the planet leaned
into the paranormal or UFOs as a cover story for
(18:37):
real stuff they were doing, you know what I mean.
So it's interesting, you should watch it. They're not paying
us to say it. I'm just super into it, man, Like,
I think it was worth I would have watched it
in a theater, actually.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I've yes, and it would do well. I think you
would appreciate it a lot in a theater. I think
the shot it looks great. The production on it is
just top level. Well, and that's Dan Fraud. He was producer,
I believe on Ready Player one on the Phenomenon, which
is I can't remember if the Phenomenon is one of
those is a documentary. I think it's a documentary about abduction. God,
(19:21):
maybe I'm wrong. Look up the Phenomenon. I know that
was also phenomenal, and Ready Player one had incredible production value.
So you just know that this guy is bringing that
to a documentary, which is very cool. Oh gosh, there's
one other thing I wanted to say. Michael Schermer, Yes,
(19:42):
I think that's his name. He's an author or writer
that we followed for a long time from Skeptic magazine.
He has a write up on this that is fairly
extensive and really does poke holes in a lot of
the things that I would say, maybe in a biased fashion,
I just take it value. When I'm watching this documentary,
(20:02):
which is at least something good to keep in mind
to temper yourself before you get too hyped. But then
also remember Michael Schrmer is being paid to take that
skeptical view for Skeptic magazine, right, So there's a lot
at play there. But he does make a really good
point about Luis Elizondo and his credentials at a TIP,
(20:24):
as well as other stuff that's still it's still in
question somehow. But you know, the documentary itself even comes
in and says, hey, there's a massive disinformation campaign that's
happening because of this legacy program that's been around for
so long. And then it just feels like you're in
the forest going what's real? Man?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Right, agreed? The a TIP thing that the acronym we
can keep thrown around here, folks. It stands for Advanced
Aerospace Threat Identification Program. It is a real thing. It
was formed in two thousand and seven by Uncle Sam
to investigate you UFOs or UAP. It was dissolved in
(21:03):
twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well those Harry Reid, right, yes, by Harry Reid.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
This program didn't have a ton of actual on the
book's investment, maybe twenty two million US dollars or so
at the beginning before they cut the funding. You know,
it reminded me a little bit of the Sony Corporation's
(21:31):
experimental programs into psychic powers, Like was it a passion
project of a very important person? Was there more to
the story. We have multiple interviews with folks like Jeremy Corbel,
We have multiple episodes investigating this stuff. We even talked
(21:57):
about like Project blue Book. As you were saying, Matt,
this goes back well into the days of World War Two,
I don't know. It's fascinating, right, it is fascinating. We
don't want to dunk on anything immediately because we are
not read into or read onto, I should say, those
(22:20):
specific programs. We hear about it the same way you do.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Well, yeah, most of it, and the well I mean,
I'm certainly exactly where you are, listener. The Legacy Program
that's brought up so many times in this and is
kind of painted as the bad guy. The reason that
we don't know the truth about all this stuff. It
is really difficult to find anything about it online, which
(22:48):
is the way it is meant to be. Say, the
people who know tell you that the Legacy Program is real,
Even the people within the halls of Congress, like Marco
Rubio cannot get read onto the Legacy Program sentence they
say in the documentary have asked to be read on,
and they aren't told about the Legacy Program. However, a
president like George H. W. Bush, George Bush Senior, someone
(23:11):
who you know, ran the CIA for a while. He
I believe they state like maybe had some information on it,
and a couple of other key figures. Well, yeah, Well,
some people were friends with the Smoking Man, you know
from the X Files, Like that's the way it worked.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
He's a good hang.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Some people were in with that guy and got to
make the pact with the aliens, right.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Some people were billionaires like Robert Thomas Bigelow just went
up to Harry Reid and said, ooh, are you.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Down, dude, That I totally forgot. Thank you for saying that,
but I've totally forgot. One of the most important points
they make in this documentary is that at the heart
of this Legacy Program Department of Energy, Air Force gone.
And then at the heart of it are the contractors,
the North of Drummings of the world.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
The Bigelow Air Space.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, the people who make the weapons who are developing
weapons allegedly, according to the documentary, from this technology that's
out of this world.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, why does it? Why is skunk because the skunk works?
But oh, up it up.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
But the most brilliant part about this, both this argument
and potentially this plan with the legacy program, is that
those private companies don't have to disclose anything if they
don't want to. Right, the secret stuff they're working on, Oh,
that's R and D. That's part of our you know,
fiscal year twenty seventeen budget or whatever. You don't get
(24:44):
to know about that. That's for prietary information. That's part
of our IP.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right, the constraints of disclosure or funny word to use here,
the constraints of trans parentcy our project by project for
a private enterprise. And again I'm gonna I'm gonna hop
back up on this hill. Uh again. It is very
(25:11):
interesting that the United States has separation of church and state,
but no separation of business in state.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Huh that sweet?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, you know you like a little money on the side. Hey,
I work hard at Congress. Yeah, maybe I trade in
the house a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Hey, you like money.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I like money, though, did you uh did you hear
about that? Do you hear about that guy who, uh
who figured out a way to track and emulate the
Peluuosy family's stock trades.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Geez, Snow, all right, that's an interesting to take a
gain for it.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He sure made a bet. We also have an episode
coming up in the future, folks, about the Legacy program
and so something that very much interests Matt and myself
and I could do. Tennessee, I think we can do
a light spoiler here. We may have a show in
the future that touches directly on the concept of disclosure
(26:16):
through Blockbuster film.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yes, yeah, it's gonna be a great one.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yes, and television.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I'm rewatching the first season of The X Files for
this very reason because I had this little inkling, Like, man,
I feel like I have memories of The X Files
talking about this very thing exactly in this way and
setting up like this within the first season. We're already
getting there. Man. Oh yeah, it's and it follows along
this documentary like it's just real life.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Oh man, what is real life?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Wow? So that's a lot to say about the documentary
The Age of Disclosure. Please watch it if you can. Oh,
one last thing, God, man, I keep trying to close,
and then we end up talking about something new. They
talk about aliens that have been recovered, bodies of like
those non terrestrial beings or whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
And organic entities, physical things Habeas corpus. We have the body.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Very interesting stuff. It makes you wonder what other kinds
of creatures maybe they've found through that program, right, maybe
even just some animals sick.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Let's put a cap on this one. We'll be right
back afterword from our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And we have returned, folks. That is a crypted teas
for a cryptic cryptied teas that we worked on for
some upcoming episodes. We wanted to share with you some
strange animal news now. First off, thank you to everybody
(27:58):
who wrote to us in their work. I had a
few of us writing in about a raccoon who did
an unsuccessful but poetic heist. Thank you to Brocknus in particular,
you were first of the post on this one. Thank
you also to Canadian John. Thank you to an anonymous
(28:19):
source in Singapore. I don't know when you sleep, Matt.
A raccoon went on a drunken rampage here in the
United States in a liquor store in Virginia and was
found passed out on the bathroom floor. I think a
lot of us were writing into the show about this, because,
(28:39):
you know, we explored the recent studies surrounding urban versus
city raccoons.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
First off, Ben, can I get a hail? Yeah, I
don't know why, just smash a couple of beers or
something imagining this guy.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this wreck food is definitely wearing like
a Holgan esque wavecap and said, hell yeah, brother with
the hard r Yeah, he broke into this liquor store
in Ashland, Virginia, early on Saturday previous Right, we're recording
(29:19):
on Wednesday, December third. It looks like the guy just
went on a typhoon level rampage, smashed bottles, collapsed ceiling tiles,
alcohol of all varieties, just laid out on the floor.
And on Saturday morning, there's an employee right at this
(29:42):
store who walks in and finds the place just in ruins,
right in pieces, and walks through the shattered origami of
glass to find this raccoon so much like an early
college student passed out right next to the commode. You
(30:02):
can see the photo.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Ah, he almost very god, he almost mad.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So there there's a whole thing we could do in
the future, maybe on a different show about animals and
non human animals, I mean, and alcohol, like how elephants
love love love love love this stuff. Bears will get drunk,
insects and various arboreal mammals will find fermented fruit. What
(30:38):
we're saying here is uh, free our guy. You know,
everybody has a bad weekend once in a while.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yes, Freestone Cold Steve Raccoon. But they did they let
him go, right, He's just he's like out there now
just thinking about life.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
What a menace. He's out there right now drinking ped
alite and planning his next crime.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Been The first comment on that AP news article, Do
you see it down there?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Alluded to us.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Farmer Yeehaw says people are dying.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, yeah, they are. The world's ending for someone every.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Day, right Yeah. But then the next commedge is like, yeah,
but that's why we need this kind of levity, dude,
stuff sucks out here right now.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
We need this guy to have a name, is what
we're saying. Yes, and Farmer Yeehaw, maybe you're the person
to propose the name. Right now. I don't know about
the rest of us, but I practice something called optimistic nihilism,
which is how I deal with the world, which makes
it and have for centuries, which makes it easier to
(31:52):
enjoy the little guffaws right amid all the darkness. Uh,
we got another weird animals story? Do you want to
hear it?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah? I keep thinking about you being around for centuries,
but yeah, I wanted more animal news.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Okay, so you know cows right, like? Not like you
know of cows.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yes, I'm currently playing South Park Stick of Truth, and
I have seen cows recently, you could confer.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
We are officially disclosing this. Have you spent time with
cows in person? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
A little bit, Yeah, there are I well, I really
liked my time that I have spent with some cows. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, same man. I am still continually surprised by the
length of their tonguess. But it's just it's weird. You're
not expecting it. Dylan, Tennessee Pale cow experience you got any.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
My wife's favorite animal is the cow. Oh and I
went to a place called Gentle Barn in Tennessee once
and met a count named Dudley. Excellent experienced.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Shout out to Dudley that was unexpected. Yes, cows are
quite intelligent, right. Cows are a domesticated species, commonly throughout
most of the world, raised to be butchered and consumed.
Right in some parts of the world raised only for milk,
(33:23):
and there are a couple of cultures that raise them
just for their milk and to drink their blood at
different times. However, drug cartels saw an opportunity with cows.
There's a thing happening called cocaine cows. Oh boy, I know,
I know. It sounds like the New Sharknado. But if
(33:45):
we go to things like the Deaf Tech Times by
Ruta R. Deshpande, we'll see that drug cartels have loaded
up cows with cocaine and smuggled and used them as
a medium to smuggle these drugs into Europe. This is
(34:08):
pretty complex, man, and it reminds me of our recent
episode on Russia's Shadow Fleet. You know, the idea that
I felt like it was a troupe for a long time, man,
the idea that you would put something like heroin or
opium or cocaine into an animal to get it over
(34:31):
insert border here, it looks like it's actually happening. Each
of these vessels that are carrying these cocaine cows. They're
carrying up to ten thousand cows. Oh wow, and they're
sick and they're dying on purpose. The issue is to clarify,
(34:52):
we talked about this a little bit off air. It's
not the drugs in question. The stuff being smuggled is
not inserted inside the cows. The idea is that these
animals are sick and dying and disgusting to hang out with,
which provides the cover for the cartels.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yes, what I've heard is that, you know, if you
imagine inspecting a ship like this right that has a
ton of cargo, a big cargo hold, and inside this
cargo hold, you just got these cows and they're you know,
they are so densely packed in there. And it's something
about the smell, I think, and the there's a lot
of factors that make walking around inside that cargo hold
(35:36):
not something an inspector wants to do.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Literally unsafe actually, you know, without the correct protective gear
or respirator. You as the investigator, or you as the
just the guy at the port whose job is to say, hey,
there's that cocade on this ship. It's your job to
be the no coke guy and you I don't get
(36:00):
the funding for a full biohazard suit. So you look
at this thing and you say, ah, gross Jesus, it's
like Friday, It's four forty five. I got stuff to do.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Well. Yeah, and the only way to actually get to
the location where the cocaine is you have to open
a hatch that is, you know, being walked on by
a bunch of these cows. They're just everywhere, right, So
it just makes it it's a god, it's a smart
messed up thing.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Well, let's get into the process a little bit. So
once they leave the oragin port, the crew will take
the packages, the packs, and they'll attach them to little
floaties essentially little buoys, well, little floating boys. Right, Like,
what are those things that go around people's biceps, kids,
(36:51):
biceps and pools?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I was called them floaties floaties?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Okay, yes, those things something like that. You throw your
packet cocaine out onto a floaty. You've got a GPS tracker,
and you throw these things overboard of predetermined points in
the ocean and at specific times, and then smaller boats
(37:17):
swim up and retrieve the packages and take them to
you know, other ports that are less heavily surveiled. Right,
and then going back to our Russian shadow or ghost
fleet episode, these ships are sailing under flags of convenience.
(37:39):
Shout out to Panama, right, shout out to Gabon.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yep, and I guess shout out to the drones that
are killing people on boats that are trying to pick
up some of these packages.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Maybe Jesus well, a lot of those folks who are
being attacked by the US military are not cartel. I
just want to be very clear about that. Again. This
is Wednesday, December third, twenty five. A war in Venezuela
is going to be both.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
It feels like it from this point of view.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Right, everybody knows. I'm not saying Meduro is a good guy.
I'm saying that a war against Venezuela right now is
going to be bulle and do not fall for it.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Mmm mmmm. Reminds you of some things we're going to
be talking about in the next segment, ben about bullet war.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yes, Before we move to the last act of our
weekly Strange News segment, I want to give a couple
of quick shout outs, if I may, friends and neighbors,
fellow conspiracy realist. If you find yourself in the nation
of Japan, watch out for bear attacks. There's a record
high frequency of bear attacks right now, such that bear
(39:04):
attack shelters called life Shield containers are going on sale.
So if you ever worry about, you know, Japanese bears
coming for you, you can buy one of these little containers.
This whoa, yeah, yep. There are a lot of issues unfortunately,
(39:26):
as the local population bears is further encroached upon in
their natural habitat, and they're also wandering out because bears
are smart, just like many other higher order mammals. You know,
I bet a bear at a raccoon at some point
will team up with a raven to pulized.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
That's gotta happen.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
That's already happened. It's the new homeward bound. We also
know a guy just got jammed up on theft charges
because he housed a Faberge egg. So do look into
our ridiculous history episode on the history of Faberge eggs,
which is as ridiculous as it sounds.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So is it gonna come out in one piece or
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I mean, we're intricate, right, They're they're intricate. We uh,
we're not gonna go too far into it. There is
one thing that I want to save for the very end.
So before we do that, let's pause for a word
from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
And we've returned. We're gonna do some rapid fire updates
here and Ben, I think you've still got several more stories.
We're just gonna pepper them in at you in the segment.
The first one deals with ICE, the US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. What is it? It's just US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. They don't have an agency or an administration.
(41:01):
At the end there, they have earmarked several million dollars
to purchase twenty armored vehicles MRAPs, like we've discussed before
on this show. They're purchasing them from the Canadian defense
manufacturer Rochelle r sh e L. And specifically, these are
the Senator Staying Emergency Response Tactical Vehicles or m raps.
(41:25):
You can look at those over at Ruschelle dot com
again R s h e l dot com. You can
go down and just check these things out. They look
like kind of like Humby's, like an m RAP you
may have seen in a video game or on the news.
You know when you're watching military actions or.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
On the streets for some of us, or.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
On the streets in certain places. Right, we talked about
sheriff's departments purchasing these as army surplus and that kind
of thing. Yep, this one in particular, though from Rochelle
looks it just looks fancy and new and very gun
metal black. To me, it looks intimidating as all heck,
and I just wonder how it will be used, And
(42:10):
I also wonder how much of it is a response
to the recent attack where there was a shooting I
believe by a man associated with Afghanistan and the CIA.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Right, he served ten years working with the company before
assassinating to national or before attacking to National Guard members
in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
And as of Wednesday, December third, we're recording I believe
one of those individuals he attacked has died.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yes, the twenty year old female guard.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
And one may wonder is this purchasing a direct response
to that happening, and then you know, protecting other agents
from a different group out there operating within cities in
the US. Who knows. It does feel like an escalation
a bit. The second news here that's directly attached to
(43:04):
this is that all National Guard around Washington, DC will
now be armed, at least according to the Pentagon. So
we've got m raps with ice, we've got armed military
personnel now patrolling around the capitol of the United States.
It just feels like one of those tiny little movements
(43:26):
towards something else.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Yeah, we've talked about this in the past, and I
agree with you. I think we shouldn't even call it
prescient nor predictive at this point because the militarization of
the police, the violations of things like pass commentatas are
going to increasingly come to bear in ways that folks
(43:52):
cannot ignore. There are deep divides here in these United States.
The stuff is going to get hairy. Okay, there's no
way around it. This is not an original sin nor
a unique problem. This happens to many other countries, many
(44:13):
other cultures throughout history. And the thing we have to
remember is that precedent exists. It is not normal, nor natural,
nor appropriate for a government or any kind of ruling
body to treat its populace as criminals.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Agreed. Agreed, And if you want to check these stories out,
head on over to CBC and read Kyle Dugan's article
from December second, ice ordering fleet of twenty armored vehicles
from Brampton, Ontario firm, And you can also head on
over to The Guardian and read Joseph Gideon's December second article.
Pentagon says every National Guard soldier deployed in Washington, DC
(44:57):
is now armed. On a a slightly positive note, A
mysterious note. We've talked before on this show about flight
MH three to seventy. That's Malaysia Airlines flight MH three
seventy and it's disappearance. Well eleven years after the disappearance,
there is finally another attempt to locate the plane, to locate,
(45:22):
you know, a black box, figure out what the heck happened,
solve some of the mystery surrounding there, and bring some
closure to all of the families of the people who
are on that plane when it went down. This we
have mentioned this before. There's been talks about this a ton.
It's a specific company that is going to be working
on this. They're called Ocean Infinity. We've mentioned them before.
(45:44):
They're based in the UK and the US and they
are supposed to start searching for about fifty to fifty
five days in late December of this year, So hopefully
we're gonna get some answers on that very soon.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
And one thing I was thinking about up in this regard, folks,
we like several of us in the audience, have been
following this investigation for a long time. One thing that
I thought about that I think is gonna happen is this,
Matt Dyllan. The ocean is so absolutely huge that we
(46:23):
made up a dumb word for it, oceanic right to
describe something big and deep. That's the literal word. So
I would not be surprised if in this search, even
if the investigators do not discover the plane we're looking for,
I would not be surprised if they find something else.
(46:44):
It is quite possible.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Oh yeah, maybe an extraterrestrial base now I mean, or
an intra base, or an ancient terst real base.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I mean, we got to check with But I love
that you're in my head on that one, because there's
so much stuff down there. There's so much stuff down there.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
I well, yeah, if you when you really visualize what
it's like to scan the the surf, But what what
do you call the bottom of the ocean? To scan
that with all the various pieces of technology that we've
got now that are pretty incredible, and we can do
some awesome things with satellites with chefs, but you still
can't get the full details. The only way to do
(47:30):
that is to send submersibles down. And we know how
precarious that situation is and how small of a footprint
you actually get to visualize at a time when you're
operating a submersible.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yeah, you've got one thousand haystacks. You've got a tiny needle,
like a smaller needle than usual. And James Cameron is
not available, he had a scheduling conflict. Yeah, so how
are you gonna How are you gonna find this stuff?
But we do have to I say, we as in
civilization overall, not the four of us here tonight on
(48:04):
the show, folks, how are we going to bring justice
to these people? Sometimes you have to embark upon these
herculean endeavors, you know. And the weirdest thing about it
is to your point that whether or not this investigation
is successful in terms of finding the plane, it will
(48:29):
inevitably be successful in terms of advancing our understanding of
the ocean and advancing science in several regards. You know,
it reminds me of years ago a mystery series we
did called Missing in Alaska. That was the first season
of a continuing mystery series. Please check it out. The creator,
(48:54):
John Wallzac is an absolute mention. We found ourselves, as
you recall, Matt in the hinterlands of Alaska searching for
a plane that carried two US Congress members and simply disappeared.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:10):
I don't want to spoil the show, but to check
it out. So I don't know, man, I think it's worthwhile.
And I hate to think of the people who lost
folks on that plane. And for more than a decade
they've been saying what happened? You know, So I hope
they get answers.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Agreed, Agreed. I couldn't agree more. Last little quick update here.
We've been talking a lot about comets, specifically three I Atlas,
an interstellar version of a comet. There have been several
other comets from our neck of the woods that have
been getting in the news recently, and just some very
cool news. This is science news, and it could change
(49:55):
a whole lot of things now that humanity knows this
thing ready, there is an asteroid Benu I think b E,
N n U, and there were samples taken from this comet.
They were extracted samples. Well, let me just say it
this way. This is from an article from New Scientists.
(50:16):
Asteroid Benu carries all the ingredients for life as we
know it. Here, here are the details. In twenty twenty,
NASAs of Cyrus REX mission extracted samples from Benu, and
asteroid that was orbiting the Sun hundreds of millions of
kilometers away between Mars and Jupiter. The mission returned samples
to Earth in twenty twenty three. Since then, small amounts
of the one hundred and twenty one grams not much
(50:37):
stuff collected have been sent out to labs across the
globe for analysis. And we're talking about specialists and detecting
each type of biological compound. Here they are looking for
the seeds of life. What are like Could asteroids and
comets carry the thing that is required for life to
spring forth from nothing?
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Depandspermia?
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Argument, Yes, and they found it. Found sugars for the
first time in one of these things, one of these
objects that's just hurling around in the Solar System, which
makes me think that it is possible, which you know,
it sends me down sci fi threads, which is, could
you arm a commet with these things right to where
(51:22):
it is? It is essentially a delivery system of life
that you could send towards rocky planets, let's say, or
any planet that has enough of a solid surface at
some point within it that you could discould land on
it and then you start life. Right.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
It's it's interesting because it also we're coming from a
terra based perspective, right. It's something we've talked about previously
with the very anthrocentric idea or terracentric idea of the
Goldilock zone, where people will say, oh, how did these
specific things happen just so we could be a live
(52:00):
That's not really what happened. Life happened to conform to
the existing conditions, right. So the idea of building out purposely, right,
some civilization out there in the ink, building purposely a
delivery device to create life over the long term, they
(52:22):
would be sending a thing that they understand, right, Like
if you cook one kind of cake, you bake one
kind of cake, you send those cake ingredients to the
house the next door over. But if you are perhaps
a silicon based civilization or a helium based civilization. You're
(52:44):
sending ingredients for a very different cake, and you're going
to a very different oven, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Once you got to arm the you know, you got
to prepare those ingredients, knowing because you've already analyzed the planet, right,
you know, Oh, this one's going to require.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
This, right, right. If you're highly evolved enough, then you
would perhaps be able to look at a little hood
somewhere in a solar system and say, hey, we aim
for this gas giant and we put these cake ingredients in,
or hey, forget those planets, they're malarchy. We want to
(53:22):
we want to insiminate the star, you know, we want
to create something that can live within the Sun, which
is all possible because a lot of stuff is possible.
Speak you know, apologies, folks, Matt said something about going
sci fi and I just forgot to pump my own
brakes for as.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
It just opens up so many pathways of what it
could mean. But let me read a little more from
this article just so we have a better understanding. The
first studies, when they were basically blasting apart these these
tiny little particles that were taken from BNU, they found water, carbon,
several organic molecules. Then they found amino acids, formaldehyde, They
(54:08):
found all five of the nucleobases found in both RNA
and DNA. They found phosphates. But the thing they were
missing were these sugars, because in order to form RNA
fully and DNA fully, you need a couple of sugars
ribos for RNA and deoxy ribos for DNA. Those were
just missing from the first couple of samples. They couldn't
(54:30):
find them. Then at oh gosh, I'm gonna butcher this
Tohoku University in Japan, this person, Yoshihiro Furukawa, he and
his colleagues found ribos and several other sugars likesos xylos,
a rabinose, glucose, and galactose, but not deoxyribos. So interestingly enough,
(54:56):
you could make RNA things with the concoction there. You
couldn't make DNA stuff unless you had something else.
Speaker 3 (55:05):
Based on what our friends have found, we also need
to note, just get in front of the emails. Here
were conspiracy at iHeartRadio dot com. Just to get in
front of the emails. The fact that this stuff has
not been found before in other instances does not mean
it did not exist. It's really a measure of methodology
(55:28):
and technological innovation, and it's a tremendous credit to the
boffins over there in Japan. You know, this is super
cool stuff man.
Speaker 2 (55:39):
Well, and just the fact that we're going out, we're
sending missions out to collect things from these objects. Right,
How cool is it when you conceive of being able
to link up with one of these things somewhere out
in space and then bring it back.
Speaker 3 (55:54):
Just think about the math people, like the next time
you're playing pool on the On the rare occasions when
we get to hang out outside of work, we love
playing the games, right, you know, we're both ted Lasso's
with the darts. We love playing pool. No offense to
(56:15):
either of us, but we're not you know, we're not
like Olympic level pool players. But every time, this is
so weird. I never told you this. Every time I
play pool with you and I pull off haha, a
cool shot. I think of the math involved in finding
asteroids or landing on the moon, you know, just calculating
(56:40):
objects in space. It's it's fascinating. We're learning so much
more about the concept of life, right. The Wither and
Wins of what it means for a thing to exist
as a life form, and that is to say it.
(57:00):
It's a perfect segue to our closing story.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
Well take us there here we.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
Are, all right, I'll do an eighties stand up comic voice.
Dylan is meat tapping the bike? All right? What else?
What else? What else? Airline food? Yeah, ex girlfriends yeah?
Oh Chernobyl, Hey, raise your hand if you remember Chernobyl.
(57:27):
I think I know that this guy gets it, sir.
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (57:31):
Oh, Columbus Oil?
Speaker 3 (57:34):
Nah? Classic, Classic, because we're recording this special in Columbus,
Ohio for some reason. Achron Glumbus suck all right, Okay,
settled out? No, kick him out, Kick that guy out, Acron.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (57:53):
Hey man, I'm just trying to do a show. Mude. Yeah,
so are other people and scene. Let's see. Shout out
to all the stand ups in the crowd. It's a
rough world. So Chernobyl famously infamously had a bad day
on April twenty sixth, nineteen eighty six, a routine safety
(58:16):
test at their fourth reactor to call in a burst
of creativity. Reactor for this safety test went as wrong
as it could possibly go. It became one of the
world's worst nuclear incidents, and this was due to design
operational errors. This is the part where our pow Noll
(58:39):
would point out the amazing HBO adaptation or dramatization of
the incident called Chernobyl. It's a great show. Check it out.
Because of this disaster, the authorities made a nineteen mile
exclusion zone. This ended up being really great for biodiversity
(59:03):
and for non human animals, sort of like the DMZ
on the Korean Peninsula, which is a different story anyway,
that's the context. This is why we're talking about Chernobyl.
After we talked about panspermia and what life could be.
What are the ingredients of the cake. We have recently
(59:26):
learned that black fungus in Chernobyl, in just in a
relatively small amount of time, it has evolved to turn
nuclear radiation into energy and it may be able to
aid space travel in the future. This is coming from
(59:47):
Rigakshi dixit at Interesting Engineering. This is nuts because we
already kind of knew that this could happen. We already
cut We actually talked about this in the past, that
there was a black bold mysterious black mold discovered in
(01:00:08):
nineteen ninety seven that was colonizing the literal ruins of
the chernobyl plant. But the research is revealing that this
stuff is not just surviving, it's thriving. It's very different
from the higher order animals that are living in the
(01:00:31):
exclusion zone, many of whom are cursed with short lifespans,
riddled with cancer from exposure, or at least they were
for a time. This thing is cooking, it's eaten.
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Well, it's weird. It's eating the ionized radiation, or it's
using it in the same way it would use radiation
from the sun for photosynthesis.
Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Yeah, because of the melanin, right, what I know. I'm sorry,
I'm going to Dennis, you haven't thought of the melanin.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
I think about that when I think about my freckles
and skin cancer. And I'm literally going to the dermatologist
after this to get my skin checked because.
Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
I got to show you one of my new ones.
Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
But really I'm doing that because of the melanin and
the way my skin functions doesn't do so great with
that solar radiation.
Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Right, Yeah, because you go out in the sun.
Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Yes, I'm allowed to. I'm a forty two years old, all.
Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Right, stop stop high roding me. I'll fight you after dark,
all right. So no, we are both frankly entities. So
melanin appears to be the secret ingredient here. It's like
you were saying, Matt, it's the thing that gives humans
varying skin tones, for instance, and also can protect the
(01:01:57):
human from ultraviolet rays. These fungal entities have melanin and
it may be shielding them. At least that was the
initial idea, but a study back in two thousand and
seven proved that a particular type of fungus with a
(01:02:21):
heavy amount of melanin could not just grow around radioactive material,
but would in fact grow ten percent faster when it
was exposed to certain types of radioactive substances. And like
you were saying, they ate it, you know what I mean.
(01:02:42):
Like for them, it's protein powder that you take before
you work out, and they're just getting their reps in,
you know what I mean. And there are no humans
around to say, hey we've got to mitigate this mold,
or hey that's super preepy. Why is that a thing?
So it just kept going.
Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
It's intense and the reason why it shouldn't work. The
article you linked to here the interesting engineering article. It
says here that ionizing radiation is around one million times
higher than the energy of white light, so just light
from the sun that's using photosynthesis a million times higher.
But this stuff just says not even a thing in fact, Yomo.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Yeah, this stuff is drinking the concentrate, you know what
I mean, And most of the rest of life on
the planet is drinking this diluted bs white light, you know, photosynthesis.
Bunch of clowns.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
It's so intense. Are there other It feels like there
are other applications for.
Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
This one hundred percent. Yeah, And that's an excellent segue there,
because we put it in the headlight. There is a
possibility worth ex exploring that you could take this particular
type of mold into outer space and use it as
(01:04:09):
a shielding device because it absorbs and thrives off certain
kinds of radiation. You could also possibly harvest the energy
that that thing takes. What I know, right.
Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
We're talking about like like space travel. One of the
biggest things is the radiation, right, and you need incredible
shielding to do that. So you're saying we could like
cover something in mold that's like a shield.
Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
I'm telling you man, they're the best astronauts out there currently.
The best organic astronauts currently are going to be fungal
life forms. Okay sorry, Tartar grades, tartar plates are like
the Marines. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Tartar grades can hit hard,
you know, and they will ride or die with you.
(01:04:58):
But but the mold there's a little more air force.
Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
E got it. Okay, air force. Well, the tartar grades
mostly won't die though, right, They'll just be like, eh, whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Yeah, they'll just enter torpor, they'll go to they take naps. Yeah, basically,
the tartar grade will take a nap. But if we
go to NASA astrobiologist Lynn J. Rothschild will see the
concept of mico architecture. So not just using not just
using the fun guys for no joke left by, not
(01:05:31):
just using the fun guys for shielding on a spacecraft,
but indeed to use this stuff to create structures, maybe
on the Moon, maybe on Mars, a wall of fungal
flesh that protects you from the radiation.
Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Now, halt on it.
Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Nothing creepy, nothing weird, but very creepy, very weird.
Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
If black mold gets into my house or your house,
that is a not good thing. And you're gonna die
eventually because of that black mold. And if you try
and sell that house with black mold, you're in trouble.
Unless you tell people there's black mold in that house,
you're saying, I'm gonna live inside black mold.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Yeah, it's a different kind of mold though, it's space mold. Okay, right,
Like doing a space ghost reference, I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
What if you have, let's say, a comet shaped interstellar spacecraft,
what if you just covered it with stone, as we
learned it's one of the best shields as well as
this ionizing black.
Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Mold shark tank me here, it would look a.
Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Lot like, I don't know, just a comet flying through
the Solar System. Yeah, nothing to see here. Those are
just ice jets, we promise, says the hidden spacecraft that
looks like a comet.
Speaker 3 (01:06:55):

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt.
Our colleague Noel is on an adventure, but will be
returning shortly.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
They call me Bed. We're joined as always with our
super producer Dylan the Tennessee pal Fagot. Most importantly, you
are you. You are here. That makes this the stuff
they don't want you to know. We're rounding out the
end of the calendar year. Gentle reminder for everybody in
the audience that calendars are kind of malarchy. But anyway,
(00:55):
if you're hearing this the evening this program publishes, welcome
to December eighth, twenty twenty five. I can't believe we've
made it almost knock on wood to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Now, slow it down, Slow it down right now.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
In honor of this, my comrade Matt and I thought
there would be nothing more appropriate than to open with
a joke brought to us by none other than super
producer Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Hey, yeah, I heard this one the other day. And
I thought you all might like it. So some explorers
are going through a remote part of the jungle with
their guide. In the first night, they hear some drums.
The guide says, don't worry. You only have to worry
if the drums stop. So they calm down. The second
night they hear the drums again, and once again the
Guide's like, no worries, it's only something to fear if
(01:50):
the drums stop. On the third night, the drums do stop.
The explorers are super scared. They look at the guide
and he says, uh oh, bass solo.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And it's a dangerous thing to have a base.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
It's a dangerous thing. Even both of my cats looked
up at the punchline there, Dylan, I think we may
have some feline bass players in the audience tonight. We
definitely have a lot of strange news. We've got the
Age of Disclosure. That's something that Matt and I have
(02:29):
very much been focused on for a while now. Matt,
we also have a lot of weird news about animals,
about space, and about cognitive science. But before we get
to any of that, could I please guys play for
you an absolute banger of internet ephemera. Yes, I'm so
(02:55):
glad you yes ended me on. That would man, it'd
be awkward. Who was a note? But here we go. Uh,
let us know if you remember this as well.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
By Space with slap Job, it be a great noodle
things it slap me in trouble, so the way with
slapper Slade slapping in troubles, the way with slap Job, Bion.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Space with slap Job. Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Do you guys remember that?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's that's in the age of so many incredible songs
like that. And I do remember that.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
There was a Carl Second one, there was a Pop
Ross one.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They were all bangers, all bangers stemmed to stern folks.
We are. We just played. Hopefully we won't get sued
for this. We just played a brief clip which is
a musical remix of a made for TV ad for
something called the slap Chop. The slap chop is one
(03:52):
of those classic infomercial kitchen gadgets that help helps you
hut things faster. And I actually have a slap chop.
It does work, I can confirm, you know me, Matt,
I'm just a sucker for good advertising, all.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Right, I get it. How could you not buy it
from that particular gentleman who is so just charismatic. We
talked about strangely charismatic folks and at recent episode that's
one of them.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's the time where he used the S word three
times in a row talking about beating people up and rightly.
So I think this guy is named offer Vince Schlomy Shlomi,
more popularly known as the sham Wow Guy. So our
breaking news we wanted to give you is that he
(04:45):
is now after a couple of ups and downs, including
assaulting a woman in a motel a few years back,
he is now running for Congress in the great state
of Texas.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Incredible. Well, we wish him the best of luck, do we.
I don't know. I don't know much about.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It, do not. I want to yes Andrew so hard,
but I don't really think he'd be great for Congress.
I'll be honest. I have not read the entirety of
his campaign. This is primarily a reason or an excuse
for us to play the Sham Wow remix, which is
available now wherever you find the internet. It's a slap
(05:29):
chat mean a great move. Oh day, He's running for Congress. Whatever?
This is our cold open. We have other stuff to
get to Matt. What do you say we pause for
a word from our sponsors, and then maybe disclose our
opinions about the age of disclosure.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Hey, that sounds fun. Should we let people know that?
Quick little update about the Campbell's thing?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Oh right, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah great. Note. So, folks,
as we as we recorded our previous strange news program,
we called it, we predicted it Campbell's. The company has
fired the executive who was recorded saying that soup is
(06:16):
for poor.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
People, specifically Campbell's soup.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, yeah, specifically Campbell's soup. As far as we know,
the employee who recorded him has not returned to work either.
He was let go. I remember in our conversation on
that program, we both predicted the executive would get fired,
and we predicted the whistleblower or what we call the
(06:42):
soup blower, would not return to the company.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yep, all your predictions have come true.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Been all your predictions.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
We need to do something with this.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Just once. At some point we are going to be
prescient about a good thing. I wish we were better
at predicting good things, but we're actually knocking it out
in the park with predicting strange and bad things.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
We have some very strange and bad thing updates on
the way.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
After a word from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And we've returned. There were some rumors and then a
trailer about a brand new alien disclosure movie coming out
sometime in the near future, about a year ago a
little before that, and a lot of us we're very
excited about this because we like that topic quite a bit.
We're very interested in that topic, as are many of us. Yes, yes, well,
(07:47):
there is a brand new documentary titled The Age of
Disclosure that you can go watch now. You do have
to pay for it. I found it on Amazon Prime
and I just should have paid like twenty five bucks
for it, and now we buy it.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, you can buy it or you can rent it,
but the price difference is relatively slim, and I think us,
both being amateur a ufologist, decided to purchase the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, I think it was worth it. I really I
enjoyed the documentary very much. There's much in there to
be excited about and much to be skeptical about, as
that it's pretty much the same situation every time you're
in the UFO UAP topic. You got to just keep
those goggles of skepticism on while you know, looking for
(08:37):
the good stuff. The thing that separates this documentary from
a lot of others are the people that were interviewed,
the access that the creators of this documentary had. Just
give you a small list here of people. The main
one that I really wanted to talk with you about,
Ben was Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio, politically divisive figure for
(09:01):
from familiar yeah, for many years. It is the most
human I have ever seen this person on camera. And
you see him in a setting that appears to be
perhaps you know, in the Congress building somewhere. You the
way he is speaking and the way his face looks,
(09:23):
even while he's talking about some pretty crazy stuff, you know,
rationally pretty crazy stuff about and we'll spoil it here,
but about a program that has been within the government
and hidden away within the Department of Energy and the
Air Force that supposedly is reverse engineering alien craft. But
(09:47):
you see and here Marco Rubio talking about it so
plainly and openly. It just it's one of the more
convincing things I've ever seen on the topic. It's very weird. Weird,
it is.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Very weird, and we do want to note this is
something that Noel would bring up immediately were he here.
Dan Farrah is the director, last name fa r Ah,
and does have I love the point you're making. Does
have tremendous access to people with aviation experience, but primarily
(10:25):
people with political and military acumen. And you know, he's
talking literally to vetted folks. And I agree with you
about Rubio. Rubio, for anybody outside of US politics, which
becomes inside baseball so quickly, is an American politician. He's
(10:47):
been a diplomat, He's been the Secretary of State. He
is a member of what the US calls the Republican Party.
If you are someone who watches infomercial electronic dance remixes
on the internet, you probably remember Rubio best as a
(11:08):
guy who awkwardly drank a little bottle of water.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh yeah, I do that. He's been memified so many times,
mister Rubio.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah. But here he is, he is talking, or he's
he's stating as in arguable fact from his perspective, that
unidentified flying objects. I don't think he says the word aliens,
but he says uap or ufo, however he describes it.
(11:40):
They have been spotted over nuclear facilities.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yes, he says that, but and doesn't he also confirm
the I don't know if he Oh, gosh, see now
that this is one of the things the documentary does.
It will cut between somebody like Marca Rubio talking like
that that is very convincing to not that Jay Stratton
and Luis Elizondo aren't credible in their own right for
(12:05):
their own reasons. They'll just cut to those guys saying
something like the extraterrest real craft you know that are
at Area fifty one or whatever, that kind of thing. Yeah,
So the certainty that you begin to feel as you're
intercutting between people like Tim Bershett, who's you know, a
congressman saying things very plainly about unidentified submerged objects, and
(12:27):
then you know, to other guys. But then also intercut
with like Ryan Graves that we've talked about before, and
a lot of these pilots within the Navy that have
had real experiences and they're testifying before Congress. So you've
got all of this stuff kind of culminating and in
the end, in the end you come away with a
(12:49):
very interesting feeling is though it's all real and it's
all happening, and the most important thing is this new
Cold war that is formed with I guess the pursuit
between between the United States, China, and Russia to re
engineer extraterrest real craft.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Right, yeah, and this is not an original sin of
filmmaking nor speculation. We know and friends of neighbors, longtime
conspiracy realists, you know well that we have looked into
this concept of dark conspiracy reverse engineering of things. Right,
(13:29):
even before the age of the Internet, there would be
various factions saying, hey, how do you explain insert technological
breakthrough here? It could not have been something, right, Matt
is holding up in iPhone. How do you explain these
technological breakthroughs anything from velcro, which is my favorite dumb example,
(13:55):
to nuclear armament, to stealth bombers to wireless communication. How
do you explain this? Could humans have made it? The
vast majority of scientific consensus argues, yes, humans get a
lot of stuff wrong, but they made all of these inventions,
(14:18):
things like the age of disclosure. And some of the
people featured in it are sometimes arguing, often just implying
that the United States, Russia, and China, as you said,
have discovered extra terrestrial extraterrestrial craft that crashed or was
(14:42):
shot down, and from the ruins of that, from the
flotsam and jetsam of that stuff, huh well, unidentified submerged
object shout out. They have reverse engineered technology and slowly
introduced it for into war and then into the public sphere.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yes, And they also state plainly several of the people
in there specifically, oh gosh, it's the two guys who
are the major part of a tip, Louis Alasondo and
Jay Stratton. They speak plainly that in nineteen forty seven,
that roswell crash thing that we've talked about, we went
through Project Mogul. We've done episodes and videos on that.
(15:25):
They say, oh no, that was definitely an extraterrestrial craft.
It was all covered up and it was there was
a decision made at that moment in that time that
we have to keep this hush hush and do everything
we can to reverse engineer this technology because it will
make us again, the US military, the superior force. It
(15:46):
will continue our superiority because don't forget that old Ata
Mom thing had just been invented and deployed just a
couple of years back at that point. That is at
least the story that's being told here. And you know,
if true, it makes a lot of sense. It happens
to line up pretty well within a couple of years
of the formation of the Air Force as a brand
(16:07):
new thing. And if you will notice, all of the
disclosures from pilots coming out have been from the Navy,
not the Air Force. Only a few times have Air
Force personnel come forward and given their statements. And in
this documentary you get some of those Air Force personnel
just deciding to come forward and speak about it. I
(16:31):
don't know, I'm putting this out there for everybody listening.
It's some powerful stuff right now. It's going to cost
you money to watch it. You can wait and it'll
probably show up on one of the streamers you hopefully
already pay for. And you know, if not, make a
night of it and just see what you think. And
we'd love to hear what you think after watching it.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
We would love to hear what you think. We've read,
We've read a lot of reviews. We have we have
followed the concept of disclosure for quite some time. We
have also we have approached this with open ears, open eyes, right,
(17:11):
and a great wheelbarrow of salt, not a grain assault
a wheelbarrow of salt. I do want to note that
the two largest air forces on the planet currently are
both from the United States. The Air Force is huge.
The other big air force is the US Navy.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So I thought you're gonna say space Force.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
They're on the way. They're on the way. It's a
race with Uncle Gee. We'll see how it works out.
But the reason I'm saying this here is because it
may be easy if you're not as into UFOs as
I am, or as mad Is wereas Tennessee is, then
you will maybe think, Ah, the Navy, don't they do boats?
(18:01):
Why are the boat guys telling me about stuff in
the sky. It's way deeper than that. This is worth
your time to check out.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well, and why would the Department of Energy be so involved?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Right? And I what I was going to say is
I think we would all enjoy hearing the more skeptical
opinions as well, because we have pretty hard proof that
in times past, various government authorities across the planet leaned
into the paranormal or UFOs as a cover story for
(18:37):
real stuff they were doing, you know what I mean.
So it's interesting, you should watch it. They're not paying
us to say it. I'm just super into it, man, Like,
I think it was worth I would have watched it
in a theater, actually.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I've yes, and it would do well. I think you
would appreciate it a lot in a theater. I think
the shot it looks great. The production on it is
just top level. Well, and that's Dan Fraud. He was producer,
I believe on Ready Player one on the Phenomenon, which
is I can't remember if the Phenomenon is one of
those is a documentary. I think it's a documentary about abduction. God,
(19:21):
maybe I'm wrong. Look up the Phenomenon. I know that
was also phenomenal, and Ready Player one had incredible production value.
So you just know that this guy is bringing that
to a documentary, which is very cool. Oh gosh, there's
one other thing I wanted to say. Michael Schermer, Yes,
(19:42):
I think that's his name. He's an author or writer
that we followed for a long time from Skeptic magazine.
He has a write up on this that is fairly
extensive and really does poke holes in a lot of
the things that I would say, maybe in a biased fashion,
I just take it value. When I'm watching this documentary,
(20:02):
which is at least something good to keep in mind
to temper yourself before you get too hyped. But then
also remember Michael Schrmer is being paid to take that
skeptical view for Skeptic magazine, right, So there's a lot
at play there. But he does make a really good
point about Luis Elizondo and his credentials at a TIP,
(20:24):
as well as other stuff that's still it's still in
question somehow. But you know, the documentary itself even comes
in and says, hey, there's a massive disinformation campaign that's
happening because of this legacy program that's been around for
so long. And then it just feels like you're in
the forest going what's real? Man?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Right, agreed? The a TIP thing that the acronym we
can keep thrown around here, folks. It stands for Advanced
Aerospace Threat Identification Program. It is a real thing. It
was formed in two thousand and seven by Uncle Sam
to investigate you UFOs or UAP. It was dissolved in
(21:03):
twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well those Harry Reid, right, yes, by Harry Reid.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
This program didn't have a ton of actual on the
book's investment, maybe twenty two million US dollars or so
at the beginning before they cut the funding. You know,
it reminded me a little bit of the Sony Corporation's
(21:31):
experimental programs into psychic powers, Like was it a passion
project of a very important person? Was there more to
the story. We have multiple interviews with folks like Jeremy Corbel,
We have multiple episodes investigating this stuff. We even talked
(21:57):
about like Project blue Book. As you were saying, Matt,
this goes back well into the days of World War Two,
I don't know. It's fascinating, right, it is fascinating. We
don't want to dunk on anything immediately because we are
not read into or read onto, I should say, those
(22:20):
specific programs. We hear about it the same way you do.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Well, yeah, most of it, and the well I mean,
I'm certainly exactly where you are, listener. The Legacy Program
that's brought up so many times in this and is
kind of painted as the bad guy. The reason that
we don't know the truth about all this stuff. It
is really difficult to find anything about it online, which
(22:48):
is the way it is meant to be. Say, the
people who know tell you that the Legacy Program is real,
Even the people within the halls of Congress, like Marco
Rubio cannot get read onto the Legacy Program sentence they
say in the documentary have asked to be read on,
and they aren't told about the Legacy Program. However, a
president like George H. W. Bush, George Bush Senior, someone
(23:11):
who you know, ran the CIA for a while. He
I believe they state like maybe had some information on it,
and a couple of other key figures. Well, yeah, Well,
some people were friends with the Smoking Man, you know
from the X Files, Like that's the way it worked.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
He's a good hang.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Some people were in with that guy and got to
make the pact with the aliens, right.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Some people were billionaires like Robert Thomas Bigelow just went
up to Harry Reid and said, ooh, are you.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Down, dude, That I totally forgot. Thank you for saying that,
but I've totally forgot. One of the most important points
they make in this documentary is that at the heart
of this Legacy Program Department of Energy, Air Force gone.
And then at the heart of it are the contractors,
the North of Drummings of the world.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
The Bigelow Air Space.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, the people who make the weapons who are developing
weapons allegedly, according to the documentary, from this technology that's
out of this world.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, why does it? Why is skunk because the skunk works?
But oh, up it up.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
But the most brilliant part about this, both this argument
and potentially this plan with the legacy program, is that
those private companies don't have to disclose anything if they
don't want to. Right, the secret stuff they're working on, Oh,
that's R and D. That's part of our you know,
fiscal year twenty seventeen budget or whatever. You don't get
(24:44):
to know about that. That's for prietary information. That's part
of our IP.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Right, the constraints of disclosure or funny word to use here,
the constraints of trans parentcy our project by project for
a private enterprise. And again I'm gonna I'm gonna hop
back up on this hill. Uh again. It is very
(25:11):
interesting that the United States has separation of church and state,
but no separation of business in state.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Huh that sweet?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, you know you like a little money on the side. Hey,
I work hard at Congress. Yeah, maybe I trade in
the house a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Hey, you like money.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I like money, though, did you uh did you hear
about that? Do you hear about that guy who, uh
who figured out a way to track and emulate the
Peluuosy family's stock trades.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Geez, Snow, all right, that's an interesting to take a
gain for it.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He sure made a bet. We also have an episode
coming up in the future, folks, about the Legacy program
and so something that very much interests Matt and myself
and I could do. Tennessee, I think we can do
a light spoiler here. We may have a show in
the future that touches directly on the concept of disclosure
(26:16):
through Blockbuster film.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yes, yeah, it's gonna be a great one.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yes, and television.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I'm rewatching the first season of The X Files for
this very reason because I had this little inkling, Like, man,
I feel like I have memories of The X Files
talking about this very thing exactly in this way and
setting up like this within the first season. We're already
getting there. Man. Oh yeah, it's and it follows along
this documentary like it's just real life.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Oh man, what is real life?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Wow? So that's a lot to say about the documentary
The Age of Disclosure. Please watch it if you can. Oh,
one last thing, God, man, I keep trying to close,
and then we end up talking about something new. They
talk about aliens that have been recovered, bodies of like
those non terrestrial beings or whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
And organic entities, physical things Habeas corpus. We have the body.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Very interesting stuff. It makes you wonder what other kinds
of creatures maybe they've found through that program, right, maybe
even just some animals sick.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Let's put a cap on this one. We'll be right
back afterword from our sponsors.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And we have returned, folks. That is a crypted teas
for a cryptic cryptied teas that we worked on for
some upcoming episodes. We wanted to share with you some
strange animal news now. First off, thank you to everybody
(27:58):
who wrote to us in their work. I had a
few of us writing in about a raccoon who did
an unsuccessful but poetic heist. Thank you to Brocknus in particular,
you were first of the post on this one. Thank
you also to Canadian John. Thank you to an anonymous
(28:19):
source in Singapore. I don't know when you sleep, Matt.
A raccoon went on a drunken rampage here in the
United States in a liquor store in Virginia and was
found passed out on the bathroom floor. I think a
lot of us were writing into the show about this, because,
(28:39):
you know, we explored the recent studies surrounding urban versus
city raccoons.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
First off, Ben, can I get a hail? Yeah, I
don't know why, just smash a couple of beers or
something imagining this guy.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this wreck food is definitely wearing like
a Holgan esque wavecap and said, hell yeah, brother with
the hard r Yeah, he broke into this liquor store
in Ashland, Virginia, early on Saturday previous Right, we're recording
(29:19):
on Wednesday, December third. It looks like the guy just
went on a typhoon level rampage, smashed bottles, collapsed ceiling tiles,
alcohol of all varieties, just laid out on the floor.
And on Saturday morning, there's an employee right at this
(29:42):
store who walks in and finds the place just in ruins,
right in pieces, and walks through the shattered origami of
glass to find this raccoon so much like an early
college student passed out right next to the commode. You
(30:02):
can see the photo.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Ah, he almost very god, he almost mad.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So there there's a whole thing we could do in
the future, maybe on a different show about animals and
non human animals, I mean, and alcohol, like how elephants
love love love love love this stuff. Bears will get drunk,
insects and various arboreal mammals will find fermented fruit. What
(30:38):
we're saying here is uh, free our guy. You know,
everybody has a bad weekend once in a while.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yes, Freestone Cold Steve Raccoon. But they did they let
him go, right, He's just he's like out there now
just thinking about life.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
What a menace. He's out there right now drinking ped
alite and planning his next crime.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Been The first comment on that AP news article, Do
you see it down there?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Alluded to us.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Farmer Yeehaw says people are dying.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Yeah, yeah, they are. The world's ending for someone every.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Day, right Yeah. But then the next commedge is like, yeah,
but that's why we need this kind of levity, dude,
stuff sucks out here right now.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
We need this guy to have a name, is what
we're saying. Yes, and Farmer Yeehaw, maybe you're the person
to propose the name. Right now. I don't know about
the rest of us, but I practice something called optimistic nihilism,
which is how I deal with the world, which makes
it and have for centuries, which makes it easier to
(31:52):
enjoy the little guffaws right amid all the darkness. Uh,
we got another weird animals story? Do you want to
hear it?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah? I keep thinking about you being around for centuries,
but yeah, I wanted more animal news.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Okay, so you know cows right, like? Not like you
know of cows.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yes, I'm currently playing South Park Stick of Truth, and
I have seen cows recently, you could confer.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
We are officially disclosing this. Have you spent time with
cows in person? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
A little bit, Yeah, there are I well, I really
liked my time that I have spent with some cows. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, same man. I am still continually surprised by the
length of their tonguess. But it's just it's weird. You're
not expecting it. Dylan, Tennessee Pale cow experience you got any.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
My wife's favorite animal is the cow. Oh and I
went to a place called Gentle Barn in Tennessee once
and met a count named Dudley. Excellent experienced.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Shout out to Dudley that was unexpected. Yes, cows are
quite intelligent, right. Cows are a domesticated species, commonly throughout
most of the world, raised to be butchered and consumed.
Right in some parts of the world raised only for milk,
(33:23):
and there are a couple of cultures that raise them
just for their milk and to drink their blood at
different times. However, drug cartels saw an opportunity with cows.
There's a thing happening called cocaine cows. Oh boy, I know,
I know. It sounds like the New Sharknado. But if
(33:45):
we go to things like the Deaf Tech Times by
Ruta R. Deshpande, we'll see that drug cartels have loaded
up cows with cocaine and smuggled and used them as
a medium to smuggle these drugs into Europe. This is
(34:08):
pretty complex, man, and it reminds me of our recent
episode on Russia's Shadow Fleet. You know, the idea that
I felt like it was a troupe for a long time, man,
the idea that you would put something like heroin or
opium or cocaine into an animal to get it over
(34:31):
insert border here, it looks like it's actually happening. Each
of these vessels that are carrying these cocaine cows. They're
carrying up to ten thousand cows. Oh wow, and they're
sick and they're dying on purpose. The issue is to clarify,
(34:52):
we talked about this a little bit off air. It's
not the drugs in question. The stuff being smuggled is
not inserted inside the cows. The idea is that these
animals are sick and dying and disgusting to hang out with,
which provides the cover for the cartels.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yes, what I've heard is that, you know, if you
imagine inspecting a ship like this right that has a
ton of cargo, a big cargo hold, and inside this
cargo hold, you just got these cows and they're you know,
they are so densely packed in there. And it's something
about the smell, I think, and the there's a lot
of factors that make walking around inside that cargo hold
(35:36):
not something an inspector wants to do.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Literally unsafe actually, you know, without the correct protective gear
or respirator. You as the investigator, or you as the
just the guy at the port whose job is to say, hey,
there's that cocade on this ship. It's your job to
be the no coke guy and you I don't get
(36:00):
the funding for a full biohazard suit. So you look
at this thing and you say, ah, gross Jesus, it's
like Friday, It's four forty five. I got stuff to do.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Well. Yeah, and the only way to actually get to
the location where the cocaine is you have to open
a hatch that is, you know, being walked on by
a bunch of these cows. They're just everywhere, right, So
it just makes it it's a god, it's a smart
messed up thing.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Well, let's get into the process a little bit. So
once they leave the oragin port, the crew will take
the packages, the packs, and they'll attach them to little
floaties essentially little buoys, well, little floating boys. Right, Like,
what are those things that go around people's biceps, kids,
(36:51):
biceps and pools?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I was called them floaties floaties?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Okay, yes, those things something like that. You throw your
packet cocaine out onto a floaty. You've got a GPS tracker,
and you throw these things overboard of predetermined points in
the ocean and at specific times, and then smaller boats
(37:17):
swim up and retrieve the packages and take them to
you know, other ports that are less heavily surveiled. Right,
and then going back to our Russian shadow or ghost
fleet episode, these ships are sailing under flags of convenience.
(37:39):
Shout out to Panama, right, shout out to Gabon.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yep, and I guess shout out to the drones that
are killing people on boats that are trying to pick
up some of these packages.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Maybe Jesus well, a lot of those folks who are
being attacked by the US military are not cartel. I
just want to be very clear about that. Again. This
is Wednesday, December third, twenty five. A war in Venezuela
is going to be both.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
It feels like it from this point of view.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Right, everybody knows. I'm not saying Meduro is a good guy.
I'm saying that a war against Venezuela right now is
going to be bulle and do not fall for it.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Mmm mmmm. Reminds you of some things we're going to
be talking about in the next segment, ben about bullet war.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yes, Before we move to the last act of our
weekly Strange News segment, I want to give a couple
of quick shout outs, if I may, friends and neighbors,
fellow conspiracy realist. If you find yourself in the nation
of Japan, watch out for bear attacks. There's a record
high frequency of bear attacks right now, such that bear
(39:04):
attack shelters called life Shield containers are going on sale.
So if you ever worry about, you know, Japanese bears
coming for you, you can buy one of these little containers.
This whoa, yeah, yep. There are a lot of issues unfortunately,
(39:26):
as the local population bears is further encroached upon in
their natural habitat, and they're also wandering out because bears
are smart, just like many other higher order mammals. You know,
I bet a bear at a raccoon at some point
will team up with a raven to pulized.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
That's gotta happen.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
That's already happened. It's the new homeward bound. We also
know a guy just got jammed up on theft charges
because he housed a Faberge egg. So do look into
our ridiculous history episode on the history of Faberge eggs,
which is as ridiculous as it sounds.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So is it gonna come out in one piece or
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I mean, we're intricate, right, They're they're intricate. We uh,
we're not gonna go too far into it. There is
one thing that I want to save for the very end.
So before we do that, let's pause for a word
from our sponsors.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
And we've returned. We're gonna do some rapid fire updates
here and Ben, I think you've still got several more stories.
We're just gonna pepper them in at you in the segment.
The first one deals with ICE, the US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. What is it? It's just US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement. They don't have an agency or an administration.
(41:01):
At the end there, they have earmarked several million dollars
to purchase twenty armored vehicles MRAPs, like we've discussed before
on this show. They're purchasing them from the Canadian defense
manufacturer Rochelle r sh e L. And specifically, these are
the Senator Staying Emergency Response Tactical Vehicles or m raps.
(41:25):
You can look at those over at Ruschelle dot com
again R s h e l dot com. You can
go down and just check these things out. They look
like kind of like Humby's, like an m RAP you
may have seen in a video game or on the news.
You know when you're watching military actions or.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
On the streets for some of us, or.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
On the streets in certain places. Right, we talked about
sheriff's departments purchasing these as army surplus and that kind
of thing. Yep, this one in particular, though from Rochelle
looks it just looks fancy and new and very gun
metal black. To me, it looks intimidating as all heck,
and I just wonder how it will be used, And
(42:10):
I also wonder how much of it is a response
to the recent attack where there was a shooting I
believe by a man associated with Afghanistan and the CIA.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
Right, he served ten years working with the company before
assassinating to national or before attacking to National Guard members
in Washington, DC.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
And as of Wednesday, December third, we're recording I believe
one of those individuals he attacked has died.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yes, the twenty year old female guard.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
And one may wonder is this purchasing a direct response
to that happening, and then you know, protecting other agents
from a different group out there operating within cities in
the US. Who knows. It does feel like an escalation
a bit. The second news here that's directly attached to
(43:04):
this is that all National Guard around Washington, DC will
now be armed, at least according to the Pentagon. So
we've got m raps with ice, we've got armed military
personnel now patrolling around the capitol of the United States.
It just feels like one of those tiny little movements
(43:26):
towards something else.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Yeah, we've talked about this in the past, and I
agree with you. I think we shouldn't even call it
prescient nor predictive at this point because the militarization of
the police, the violations of things like pass commentatas are
going to increasingly come to bear in ways that folks
(43:52):
cannot ignore. There are deep divides here in these United States.
The stuff is going to get hairy. Okay, there's no
way around it. This is not an original sin nor
a unique problem. This happens to many other countries, many
(44:13):
other cultures throughout history. And the thing we have to
remember is that precedent exists. It is not normal, nor natural,
nor appropriate for a government or any kind of ruling
body to treat its populace as criminals.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Agreed. Agreed, And if you want to check these stories out,
head on over to CBC and read Kyle Dugan's article
from December second, ice ordering fleet of twenty armored vehicles
from Brampton, Ontario firm, And you can also head on
over to The Guardian and read Joseph Gideon's December second article.
Pentagon says every National Guard soldier deployed in Washington, DC
(44:57):
is now armed. On a a slightly positive note, A
mysterious note. We've talked before on this show about flight
MH three to seventy. That's Malaysia Airlines flight MH three
seventy and it's disappearance. Well eleven years after the disappearance,
there is finally another attempt to locate the plane, to locate,
(45:22):
you know, a black box, figure out what the heck happened,
solve some of the mystery surrounding there, and bring some
closure to all of the families of the people who
are on that plane when it went down. This we
have mentioned this before. There's been talks about this a ton.
It's a specific company that is going to be working
on this. They're called Ocean Infinity. We've mentioned them before.
(45:44):
They're based in the UK and the US and they
are supposed to start searching for about fifty to fifty
five days in late December of this year, So hopefully
we're gonna get some answers on that very soon.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
And one thing I was thinking about up in this regard, folks,
we like several of us in the audience, have been
following this investigation for a long time. One thing that
I thought about that I think is gonna happen is this,
Matt Dyllan. The ocean is so absolutely huge that we
(46:23):
made up a dumb word for it, oceanic right to
describe something big and deep. That's the literal word. So
I would not be surprised if in this search, even
if the investigators do not discover the plane we're looking for,
I would not be surprised if they find something else.
(46:44):
It is quite possible.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Oh yeah, maybe an extraterrestrial base now I mean, or
an intra base, or an ancient terst real base.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I mean, we got to check with But I love
that you're in my head on that one, because there's
so much stuff down there. There's so much stuff down there.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
I well, yeah, if you when you really visualize what
it's like to scan the the surf, But what what
do you call the bottom of the ocean? To scan
that with all the various pieces of technology that we've
got now that are pretty incredible, and we can do
some awesome things with satellites with chefs, but you still
can't get the full details. The only way to do
(47:30):
that is to send submersibles down. And we know how
precarious that situation is and how small of a footprint
you actually get to visualize at a time when you're
operating a submersible.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
Yeah, you've got one thousand haystacks. You've got a tiny needle,
like a smaller needle than usual. And James Cameron is
not available, he had a scheduling conflict. Yeah, so how
are you gonna How are you gonna find this stuff?
But we do have to I say, we as in
civilization overall, not the four of us here tonight on
(48:04):
the show, folks, how are we going to bring justice
to these people? Sometimes you have to embark upon these
herculean endeavors, you know. And the weirdest thing about it
is to your point that whether or not this investigation
is successful in terms of finding the plane, it will
(48:29):
inevitably be successful in terms of advancing our understanding of
the ocean and advancing science in several regards. You know,
it reminds me of years ago a mystery series we
did called Missing in Alaska. That was the first season
of a continuing mystery series. Please check it out. The creator,
(48:54):
John Wallzac is an absolute mention. We found ourselves, as
you recall, Matt in the hinterlands of Alaska searching for
a plane that carried two US Congress members and simply disappeared.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:10):
I don't want to spoil the show, but to check
it out. So I don't know, man, I think it's worthwhile.
And I hate to think of the people who lost
folks on that plane. And for more than a decade
they've been saying what happened? You know, So I hope
they get answers.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Agreed, Agreed. I couldn't agree more. Last little quick update here.
We've been talking a lot about comets, specifically three I Atlas,
an interstellar version of a comet. There have been several
other comets from our neck of the woods that have
been getting in the news recently, and just some very
cool news. This is science news, and it could change
(49:55):
a whole lot of things now that humanity knows this
thing ready, there is an asteroid Benu I think b E,
N n U, and there were samples taken from this comet.
They were extracted samples. Well, let me just say it
this way. This is from an article from New Scientists.
(50:16):
Asteroid Benu carries all the ingredients for life as we
know it. Here, here are the details. In twenty twenty,
NASAs of Cyrus REX mission extracted samples from Benu, and
asteroid that was orbiting the Sun hundreds of millions of
kilometers away between Mars and Jupiter. The mission returned samples
to Earth in twenty twenty three. Since then, small amounts
of the one hundred and twenty one grams not much
(50:37):
stuff collected have been sent out to labs across the
globe for analysis. And we're talking about specialists and detecting
each type of biological compound. Here they are looking for
the seeds of life. What are like Could asteroids and
comets carry the thing that is required for life to
spring forth from nothing?
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Depandspermia?
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Argument, Yes, and they found it. Found sugars for the
first time in one of these things, one of these
objects that's just hurling around in the Solar System, which
makes me think that it is possible, which you know,
it sends me down sci fi threads, which is, could
you arm a commet with these things right to where
(51:22):
it is? It is essentially a delivery system of life
that you could send towards rocky planets, let's say, or
any planet that has enough of a solid surface at
some point within it that you could discould land on
it and then you start life. Right.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
It's it's interesting because it also we're coming from a
terra based perspective, right. It's something we've talked about previously
with the very anthrocentric idea or terracentric idea of the
Goldilock zone, where people will say, oh, how did these
specific things happen just so we could be a live
(52:00):
That's not really what happened. Life happened to conform to
the existing conditions, right. So the idea of building out purposely, right,
some civilization out there in the ink, building purposely a
delivery device to create life over the long term, they
(52:22):
would be sending a thing that they understand, right, Like
if you cook one kind of cake, you bake one
kind of cake, you send those cake ingredients to the
house the next door over. But if you are perhaps
a silicon based civilization or a helium based civilization. You're
(52:44):
sending ingredients for a very different cake, and you're going
to a very different oven, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Once you got to arm the you know, you got
to prepare those ingredients, knowing because you've already analyzed the planet, right,
you know, Oh, this one's going to require.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
This, right, right. If you're highly evolved enough, then you
would perhaps be able to look at a little hood
somewhere in a solar system and say, hey, we aim
for this gas giant and we put these cake ingredients in,
or hey, forget those planets, they're malarchy. We want to
(53:22):
we want to insiminate the star, you know, we want
to create something that can live within the Sun, which
is all possible because a lot of stuff is possible.
Speak you know, apologies, folks, Matt said something about going
sci fi and I just forgot to pump my own
brakes for as.
Speaker 2 (53:44):
It just opens up so many pathways of what it
could mean. But let me read a little more from
this article just so we have a better understanding. The
first studies, when they were basically blasting apart these these
tiny little particles that were taken from BNU, they found water, carbon,
several organic molecules. Then they found amino acids, formaldehyde, They
(54:08):
found all five of the nucleobases found in both RNA
and DNA. They found phosphates. But the thing they were
missing were these sugars, because in order to form RNA
fully and DNA fully, you need a couple of sugars
ribos for RNA and deoxy ribos for DNA. Those were
just missing from the first couple of samples. They couldn't
(54:30):
find them. Then at oh gosh, I'm gonna butcher this
Tohoku University in Japan, this person, Yoshihiro Furukawa, he and
his colleagues found ribos and several other sugars likesos xylos,
a rabinose, glucose, and galactose, but not deoxyribos. So interestingly enough,
(54:56):
you could make RNA things with the concoction there. You
couldn't make DNA stuff unless you had something else.
Speaker 3 (55:05):
Based on what our friends have found, we also need
to note, just get in front of the emails. Here
were conspiracy at iHeartRadio dot com. Just to get in
front of the emails. The fact that this stuff has
not been found before in other instances does not mean
it did not exist. It's really a measure of methodology
(55:28):
and technological innovation, and it's a tremendous credit to the
boffins over there in Japan. You know, this is super
cool stuff man.
Speaker 2 (55:39):
Well, and just the fact that we're going out, we're
sending missions out to collect things from these objects. Right,
How cool is it when you conceive of being able
to link up with one of these things somewhere out
in space and then bring it back.
Speaker 3 (55:54):
Just think about the math people, like the next time
you're playing pool on the On the rare occasions when
we get to hang out outside of work, we love
playing the games, right, you know, we're both ted Lasso's
with the darts. We love playing pool. No offense to
(56:15):
either of us, but we're not you know, we're not
like Olympic level pool players. But every time, this is
so weird. I never told you this. Every time I
play pool with you and I pull off haha, a
cool shot. I think of the math involved in finding
asteroids or landing on the moon, you know, just calculating
(56:40):
objects in space. It's it's fascinating. We're learning so much
more about the concept of life, right. The Wither and
Wins of what it means for a thing to exist
as a life form, and that is to say it.
(57:00):
It's a perfect segue to our closing story.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
Well take us there here we.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
Are, all right, I'll do an eighties stand up comic voice.
Dylan is meat tapping the bike? All right? What else?
What else? What else? Airline food? Yeah, ex girlfriends yeah?
Oh Chernobyl, Hey, raise your hand if you remember Chernobyl.
(57:27):
I think I know that this guy gets it, sir.
Where are you from?
Speaker 2 (57:31):
Oh, Columbus Oil?
Speaker 3 (57:34):
Nah? Classic, Classic, because we're recording this special in Columbus,
Ohio for some reason. Achron Glumbus suck all right, Okay,
settled out? No, kick him out, Kick that guy out, Acron.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (57:53):
Hey man, I'm just trying to do a show. Mude. Yeah,
so are other people and scene. Let's see. Shout out
to all the stand ups in the crowd. It's a
rough world. So Chernobyl famously infamously had a bad day
on April twenty sixth, nineteen eighty six, a routine safety
(58:16):
test at their fourth reactor to call in a burst
of creativity. Reactor for this safety test went as wrong
as it could possibly go. It became one of the
world's worst nuclear incidents, and this was due to design
operational errors. This is the part where our pow Noll
(58:39):
would point out the amazing HBO adaptation or dramatization of
the incident called Chernobyl. It's a great show. Check it out.
Because of this disaster, the authorities made a nineteen mile
exclusion zone. This ended up being really great for biodiversity
(59:03):
and for non human animals, sort of like the DMZ
on the Korean Peninsula, which is a different story anyway,
that's the context. This is why we're talking about Chernobyl.
After we talked about panspermia and what life could be.
What are the ingredients of the cake. We have recently
(59:26):
learned that black fungus in Chernobyl, in just in a
relatively small amount of time, it has evolved to turn
nuclear radiation into energy and it may be able to
aid space travel in the future. This is coming from
(59:47):
Rigakshi dixit at Interesting Engineering. This is nuts because we
already kind of knew that this could happen. We already
cut We actually talked about this in the past, that
there was a black bold mysterious black mold discovered in
(01:00:08):
nineteen ninety seven that was colonizing the literal ruins of
the chernobyl plant. But the research is revealing that this
stuff is not just surviving, it's thriving. It's very different
from the higher order animals that are living in the
(01:00:31):
exclusion zone, many of whom are cursed with short lifespans,
riddled with cancer from exposure, or at least they were
for a time. This thing is cooking, it's eaten.
Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Well, it's weird. It's eating the ionized radiation, or it's
using it in the same way it would use radiation
from the sun for photosynthesis.
Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Yeah, because of the melanin, right, what I know. I'm sorry,
I'm going to Dennis, you haven't thought of the melanin.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
I think about that when I think about my freckles
and skin cancer. And I'm literally going to the dermatologist
after this to get my skin checked because.
Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
I got to show you one of my new ones.
Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
But really I'm doing that because of the melanin and
the way my skin functions doesn't do so great with
that solar radiation.
Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Right, Yeah, because you go out in the sun.
Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Yes, I'm allowed to. I'm a forty two years old, all.
Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Right, stop stop high roding me. I'll fight you after dark,
all right. So no, we are both frankly entities. So
melanin appears to be the secret ingredient here. It's like
you were saying, Matt, it's the thing that gives humans
varying skin tones, for instance, and also can protect the
(01:01:57):
human from ultraviolet rays. These fungal entities have melanin and
it may be shielding them. At least that was the
initial idea, but a study back in two thousand and
seven proved that a particular type of fungus with a
(01:02:21):
heavy amount of melanin could not just grow around radioactive material,
but would in fact grow ten percent faster when it
was exposed to certain types of radioactive substances. And like
you were saying, they ate it, you know what I mean.
(01:02:42):
Like for them, it's protein powder that you take before
you work out, and they're just getting their reps in,
you know what I mean. And there are no humans
around to say, hey we've got to mitigate this mold,
or hey that's super preepy. Why is that a thing?
So it just kept going.
Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
It's intense and the reason why it shouldn't work. The
article you linked to here the interesting engineering article. It
says here that ionizing radiation is around one million times
higher than the energy of white light, so just light
from the sun that's using photosynthesis a million times higher.
But this stuff just says not even a thing in fact, Yomo.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Yeah, this stuff is drinking the concentrate, you know what
I mean, And most of the rest of life on
the planet is drinking this diluted bs white light, you know, photosynthesis.
Bunch of clowns.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
It's so intense. Are there other It feels like there
are other applications for.
Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
This one hundred percent. Yeah, And that's an excellent segue there,
because we put it in the headlight. There is a
possibility worth ex exploring that you could take this particular
type of mold into outer space and use it as
(01:04:09):
a shielding device because it absorbs and thrives off certain
kinds of radiation. You could also possibly harvest the energy
that that thing takes. What I know, right.
Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
We're talking about like like space travel. One of the
biggest things is the radiation, right, and you need incredible
shielding to do that. So you're saying we could like
cover something in mold that's like a shield.
Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
I'm telling you man, they're the best astronauts out there currently.
The best organic astronauts currently are going to be fungal
life forms. Okay sorry, Tartar grades, tartar plates are like
the Marines. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Tartar grades can hit hard,
you know, and they will ride or die with you.
(01:04:58):
But but the mold there's a little more air force.
Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
E got it. Okay, air force. Well, the tartar grades
mostly won't die though, right, They'll just be like, eh, whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Yeah, they'll just enter torpor, they'll go to they take naps. Yeah, basically,
the tartar grade will take a nap. But if we
go to NASA astrobiologist Lynn J. Rothschild will see the
concept of mico architecture. So not just using not just
using the fun guys for no joke left by, not
(01:05:31):
just using the fun guys for shielding on a spacecraft,
but indeed to use this stuff to create structures, maybe
on the Moon, maybe on Mars, a wall of fungal
flesh that protects you from the radiation.
Speaker 2 (01:05:47):
Now, halt on it.
Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Nothing creepy, nothing weird, but very creepy, very weird.
Speaker 2 (01:05:54):
If black mold gets into my house or your house,
that is a not good thing. And you're gonna die
eventually because of that black mold. And if you try
and sell that house with black mold, you're in trouble.
Unless you tell people there's black mold in that house,
you're saying, I'm gonna live inside black mold.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Yeah, it's a different kind of mold though, it's space mold. Okay, right,
Like doing a space ghost reference, I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
What if you have, let's say, a comet shaped interstellar spacecraft,
what if you just covered it with stone, as we
learned it's one of the best shields as well as
this ionizing black.
Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Mold shark tank me here, it would look a.
Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Lot like, I don't know, just a comet flying through
the Solar System. Yeah, nothing to see here. Those are
just ice jets, we promise, says the hidden spacecraft that
looks like a comet.
Speaker 3 (01:06:55):
Everybody read Neil Stevenson's anathema. Please do it and imediately.
