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,
my name is Noah.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
They call me Ben. We're joined as always with our
super producer Dylan the Tennessee pal Fagan. Most importantly, you
are you. You are here. That makes this the stuff
they don't want you to know. If you are listening
to our strange news program the evening it publishes Welcome
to March thirtieth, twenty twenty six. Shout out to everybody,
(00:53):
by the way, who is listening to this while in
line at the airport. We've got so much stuff to
get in to guys, gentlemen, that's.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Your back, y'all. At least that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, we're going to get into that one for sure. Uh.
I'd like to share with everybody something for the headline alone.
Because we read a lot of news. We read a
lot of normal news, we read a lot of strange news.
We dive into rabbit holes, and I think we all
collect headlines. So let me give this one to you. Guys.
(01:28):
Boner Bear honey recalled for dangerous undeclared ingredients.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
And uh and and dangerous erections.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yes, yeah, when I first saw the headline, I really
thought it was like Bonaire bear or something that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
You're right. I did that check as well, Matt. This uh,
this story comes to us courtesy of the good folks
at k T A L News. Uh as they as
they verify. Uh, Boner Bear honey is a supplement that
is marketed to make your sex life sweeter.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's that p Diddy honey. He was always screaming about
these honey packets or whatever, some kind of yes, yes
you can, you get them gas stations. You do see
these types of of pnile supplements at gas stations, but
this one is new to me. Ben, what what went AWRYE?
What went ry?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
The stuff you see up there at the impulse by
section of the convenience store, right around the legal trucker
speed and the bongs. We the bongs are behind the
counter that the gas station are you go into. No,
just tell me off air.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The ones around around my place are behind glass that
are all along the entrance. So like when you walk
into the gas station, behold, I do love.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And I know the gas station you're talking about, Matt,
because I profile gas stations obsessively and so hard. If
they've got the LED lights, it's the one I think
it's okay. So I got to your place early a
while back, and I'm like, I was just driving around.
(03:14):
You gotta be you gotta be aware, right, And I
didn't know the roads too well, so I ended up
on this. Oh I'm not going to do the streets
on air, but I ended up at this gas station
that was like kind of a straight shot and then
at a corner where it would take a right. And
I want to say they had those LED lights rimming
(03:34):
the windows on the outside. Maybe I'm thinking about the
wrong one, but as soon as those I see those lights,
I immediately think this is a cool place.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
There's stuff going down in here.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
There's something going down. There's there's something more to uh
that employees only door.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
They're also the kind of gas stations you're likely to
see an exposed shelf just out in the open with
VHS porn.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
All right, Well, we live I'm sorry, very different neighborhoods.
Special I feel like I know the gas station you're
talking about as well. Stop it you do not, all right,
I'll stop. I'll stop. Case of the joint. So, according
to the FDA, company that makes Boner Bear Honey is
(04:25):
called Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements. They're out of Tampa, Florida.
They are recalling several of their products designed to improve intimacy.
And they are recalling these products because they have things
like not just Boner Bear Honey, but Red Bull Extreme
(04:46):
and Blue Bull Extreme. They contain two substances idental and
to dolliful.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I am recognized from your run of the mill boner pill.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
They're the active ingredients correct viagrant blue chew, blue chew.
So for those listed things, the ones that get a
brand name, uh, you have to have a prescription, the
supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. And look, folks, we're
(05:24):
not saying there's anything wrong with a rectile dysfunction medication.
Uh So funny one for us to talk about. But
our buddies at Boner Bear Honey did not did not
do the right thing. They had undeclared ingredients, which means
(05:45):
that the reason they have to be declared and the
reason they have to be approved, right is because these
ingredients are active and they can have they can't have
damaging or delea tates areus effects if you if they
interact with other medication you're already taking.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, it's a it's a blood pressure thing. You can
really mess with your blood pressure and.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Extremity. It can't be good.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It can't be good for the rest of the extremities. Yeah,
or the old heart muscle.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah. Yeah. So we always want to start on a
positive note, and we love to end on a positive
note as well, to bookend things with positivity. So we're
going to say this is a positive boner Bear, Honey,
you did the right thing.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Thank you for doing right by us. Boner Bear. Do
they have a mascot named boner Bear?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Because I hope so. I hope he's positively pry epic.
I do oh a priapism. I do love that. That
came up the other day.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Y'all real quick, before we take a tiny time break,
I just want to drop a headline for you that
I find to be incredibly layered. Okay, our buddy Frank
sent this to me. Okay, I'm just gonna read it
from Fox five DC and and you know we'll go
from there. A druple amputee professional cornhole player faces murder
charges unpacked that for me all what Frank said.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, and the murder weapon was a firearm.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yet and we all, I think privately without talking to
each other, folks, all three of us immediately had across
the roads moment where we were figuring out what to
do with that headline. Dylan, did you see that one?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I didn't, but I was wondering if I could make
kind of a niche music joke about boner Bears.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh my gosh, yeah, you must well.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Boner Bear for when you're up in the woods and.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It's a body bear joke.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Wait, wait, do it do it again?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yes, of please, No, I get it now. That's pretty
niche because he made that record all up.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
In the woods. Yeah, Dylan, do it again with some gravitas.
Put some mustard on it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Boner Bear for when you're.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Up in the woods.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
There it is, sweet Angel.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
We're going to take a pause for a word from
our sponsors. When we return, we're going to talk about
some incredible updates in space. We're going to talk about
some mysteries. We're going to talk about AI and awesome
phone call pranks. Maybe we'll make a little bit of
oil money, But as we teased at the top, we're
(08:23):
going to return with one for everybody in line at
the airport now, and we're back, all right. We talked
about this a little bit on I can't remember if
it was Listener Mail, Strange News or an episode. But
(08:43):
we have all been traveling. We're going to be back
on the road again pretty soon and quite often during
this year. And we have all seen these reports of
lines taking forever at US airports. Right. Have we experienced
these personally? Anybody got caught in a big line?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Not yet. I did mention to you Ben that I flew.
I think we both flew pretty recently, and I did
the old, the old switcheroo trick where you go to
the international terminal for a domestic check in. And that's
because the lines that were listed on I know it's true,
it's true, it's but it is what it is, and
it's the first time I tried it. The line. The
wait times that were listed on the site that we
(09:24):
look at that updates in real time for the regular
terminal was upwards of fifty minutes, which is unusually long
for Jackson Hartsfield Jackson. But now, guys, if you look
at it. It just says there's no updated wait times
at all, and it just says due to ongoing federal
you know, hubbub Shenaniganry allow up to five hours for
(09:49):
wait times, not even any numbers anymore. And that's the
first time I've ever seen that in my life. And
we all rely heavily on this fly atl website religiously.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We look at it the way that some people fiddle
with rosaries, especially when we're on the journey to the airport.
That part of that is probably due to the fact
that people are overcorrecting for the amount of time they'll
have to spend. Like can you imagine waiting five hours
(10:18):
to get through security for a flight that is an
hour and thirty minutes. That is happening to people.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, yeah, And why is it happening? Guys?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Oh gosh, Matt, I'm so glad you asked Dylan if
we could get a sound cube. Welcome to our new
favorite conspiracy. We've been spending a lot of time looking
into this. There is a pretty, i would say, credible
(10:51):
argument that the current airport security crisis, the TSA crisis,
is manufactured. It is not a bug. As you just said,
No it is a feature. It is by design thanks
to our friends at Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah, the idea of the idea of normalizing the presence
of ice in places where maybe typically wouldn't see them. Okay,
I mean that's one one, one facet. I mean Steve
Bannon was on some talk show talking about how this
is a real good dry run for when we post
ice agents up at the polls.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
So yes, Steve Bannon is still a living person, all right,
I'm being fair.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Who was pardoned, by the way for his crimes and
I think it was remember Scaramucci, the mooch. He was
on some podcast recently saying how he got that pardon
because of all the dirt that he has on on DJT.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, he's a legendarily cool person, Scaramucci, but it rings,
it has the ring of truth to it.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That guy's definitely skezy af but I don't doubt that.
And now Bannon's out there still be saying the real
quiet part, real loud.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, yeah, because the zone has been flooded. So why
not have a little treat for your friends on a podcast?
Here is the conspiracy, folks, the idea that Project twenty
twenty five, which we've discussed in previous episodes, set out
a blueprint for major changes to the Department of Homeland Security,
(12:36):
explicitly targeting the TSA the same way that certain political
factions are explicitly targeting the Postal Service of the United States.
So Chapter five of Project twenty twenty five targets the
TSA as something that can be privatized, that can be
(12:58):
sold off to Oligarch's right. And I know, obviously, I
think we all know that the folks working at the TSA,
they're not your enemies, you know what I mean. They're
often not meeting people on their best days. They're especially
not having the best days themselves right now. It's kind
of like when you pull a big corporation with a problem.
(13:21):
The person who answers the phone is not the person
who created the problem. They're in the trenches with you.
They're just trying to get through their day and accomplish
their goals. So we know that there were major airport
delays as the TSA had a growing staff shortage due
(13:43):
to this government shutdown partial government shutdown that began in
mid February of this year. If you go to places
like the Hill, you'll see that more than four hundred
TSA officers quit since Valentine's Day and an agreement still
has not been reached. If we're going super conspiratorial, we'll
(14:07):
see that this chaos, this flooding of the zone was
a according to critics, a direct move plucked from the
Project twenty to twenty five hand book, which you can
read entirely online. And they're saying that quote, until it
(14:28):
is privatized, the TSA should be treated as a national
security provider and its workforce should be deunionized immediately. This
is on page one fifty nine of the Project twenty
twenty five handbook. I like and it goes to, I
(14:48):
mean we teased it a little. The turn here it's
it's a new iteration of what we call starve the beast.
The starve the beast conspiracy is that you defund, you
hamstring existing public institutions, and then you say, oh, big
government is so terrible, we should privatize this, right, So
(15:12):
why doesn't everybody just pay for FedEx instead of the
postal service. We create the problem. We purport to solve
the problem by doing things like inserting ICE at the
security lines. Ice is not TSA trained from what we
can tell, it's us. I sent this my favorite typo
(15:34):
to you guys recently. The exact headline from foxfive Atlanta
dot com is ICE agents mainly watching crows at Atlanta Airport. Now,
I was obviously very excited until I realized it was
a typo.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I don't need no crows at the airport, y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I think you got to keep an eye on them.
I think they meant crowds. They they changed, They changed
the headline later.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Can it bring something up just that I've heard that
this whole action of not allowing the funding of certain
parts of DHS, which includes TSA and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Until I've heard it fact gets passed.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, I've heard it's all associated with this Saye thing.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
There's no question about it.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Which to me feels like Oukham's razor. The folks in
power want to pass this thing that requires very specific
real IDs just in order to register to vote or
to vote. They would want that in place because they
know the trouble that will cause for a lot of voters.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
There's a hot mic clip of Mike Johnson talking about
the percentage of folks that this would disenfranchise and how
that would ute unquote be great for us. I mean
the Republican Party. I mean that's out there. There's no
question that they're thinking this way, and it is very
much an effort to ram this thing through because I
believe multiple proposals have have been submitted that would have
(17:05):
funded TSA. But they Trump is saying he doesn't want
to do any deals with the with the Democrats. That
doesn't involve fully passing the same.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Great negotiating buddy, Hey, buckaroo, how's the wrong going anyway?
Starve the TSA till it fails. They're using force multipliers.
That's what they're calling ice.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Ah that okay, got it?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And just can I'm so sorry, can you explain a
force multiplier really quickly?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
A force multiplier is something that exacerbates pressure, they simply put.
So ice is one of those. But but Matt, where
are you going with this?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
It's just exhausting to me that there are enough individual
human beings who would just do what this person says,
the person who's currently in charge says, despite knowing, like
you know, I think every human being that has an
ability to read the news or has access to the news,
like sees what's happening. They see that isn't it delta?
(18:09):
Removing all of.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
The progression that works. It is delta. A couple of
other airlines are lighting up as well.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, they see all this happening. They're going to feel
the effects very shortly, and yet still they just say
whatever you say, sir. It just it's astounding to me
how that's playing out.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yep, we're seeing it in real time and guys in
terms of like, you know, folks just doing what this
individual says. The question then becomes, where does this individual
get the idea for some of the things that he says?
And I just want to read really quickly from a
piece on CNN Linda from Arizona, a caller on a
conservative radio show, might deserve the credit or blame for
the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deploying to airports across
(18:52):
the United States today. The caller said on the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show last Friday, I think I
have a solution to the TSA problem. She said, we
need to bring ice agents in. After twenty four hours
on Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced his vision and then
through searching some TV transcript archives, there are no other
mentions of this idea except from this individual, So it
(19:14):
would appear that the idea did come.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
From Linda from Arizona. Great, Yeah, thanks Linda Goodwood. We
also know that we also know that critics of what's happening, like,
first off, I want to pause here, I want to
make space for all of us. Do you guys agree
with my conspiracy theory that this is being purposely manufactured?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah, it definitely feels like a political strong arm. You know,
I don't know about the twenty twenty five project twenty
twenty five of it all. I see what you're saying
about the privatization of it and may this may well
serve a dual purpose, but per the Linda from Arizona
of it all, it also just feels like a kind
of a desperate move that's done in kind of an
(20:01):
imp improvisational way. And sometimes I'm not sure how intentional
some of these types of moves are and how much
it's just a bob and weave and you know, build
the plane while it's flying.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
The old badger in the bag is it is devilishly
easy to mistake and competence for malevolence. I do see
malevolence here. I do believe that this is to normalize
the existence of of ice, you know, the Trojan horse, uh,
(20:35):
this kind of thing. And it's especially weird to me
and I hope to all of us that ICE doesn't
really have jurisdiction in this situation. This is an intimidation move.
This is up there with a poll taxes, right, This
is up there with voting the old voting tests that
(20:57):
they used to give people during the civil rights movement.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Oh and speaking of the poll taxes, that's a big
argument that's being made for this Save Act stuff is
that you know, to get the appropriate documentation, A, it
takes time, and B it takes money, and you're not
supposed to have to pay money to be able to vote.
And it's easy to argue that this is a poll tax.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Oh well, so it's definitely punishing you for traveling.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh no, I just mean the documentation the Save Act stuff,
like to get the right documents that would be required
if that were to pass. It basically is tantamount to
charging people for the right to vote.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Where are we at now?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
But just that point you're making there, band, these ICE
agents are not trained to do the things TSA does, right,
And if you wanted that, you'd have to send them
through training programs and then get them to the airports,
which you know, in an emergency situation like this where
it feels like an emergency situation like this, where the
airlines are just going to be losing tons of money. Again,
(21:59):
the airline have gone through this so many times at
this point. The biggest point though, on the this concept
of potentially privatizing that which is now the Transportation security
is administration.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
If you wanted to do that, you might send in
somebody like oh, I don't know Elon Musk, who has
recent I don't know if you guys saw the reports
he was offering to pay the salaries.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, yeah, which isn't legal. That would be unprecedented.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Well, paying people to vote is also not legal.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Just yeah, but just saying, what if you did privatize,
make a new company, and now we hire everybody who
was once TSA and now Elon Musk has a security
Oh wait, hold on, he's making robots to guys.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh are you guys tired of TSA. It's me Elon
Musk from earlier. Welcome to x SA, so you know,
because he loves the x Uh. There's more to get to.
But I think for us one of the most important
things is to hear from you, fellow conspiracy realists. We
went a little long on this one. We want to
(23:08):
know your experience in an airport, We want to know
the lines. We think it's a grift. We think there's
a conspiracy afoot. We didn't even get time to talk
about how Uncle Sam is going full don Quixote swing
it at windmills. We have just paid we the US
government have just paid a French company one billion dollars
(23:30):
to stop building alternative energy, to stop building wind power
in the United States. And that probably ties into a
later story. We're going to have about a little bit
of oil money before we end. Guys, I'm not sure
how to ask this, but are you all eligible for conscription?
(23:53):
Are you all eligible for the draft under the new rules?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Well, I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I got a two more months.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, it's gonna be a weird summer.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Well, but that's the thing, though, there is historical precedent
for opening it up to even you know, well within
our age range under certain states of emergency. If I'm
not mistaken, they they opened it up to I think
up to forty three years old, are forty two?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay, and it's okay to smoke weed? Oh dight tight?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Okay, Well I have forty two, so I guess I'm yeah,
I guess I'm clear, But I did. I thought I
saw another example in a previous war of it being
brought and even further than that.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Sure, yeah, you know you got to you gotta find
the people where they're at. The Army has raised the
enlistment age, not the draft age. I'm being a little hyperbolic,
to forty two, which means that you can join up
right now. You guys. It's too late for me. It's
been too late for a few centuries. But it's uh,
(24:57):
it's year centuries. It's up to you. I mean, Matt,
You've got a couple of months if you want to,
if you want to do your bid. Uh. We're gonna
pause for a word from our sponsors. Everybody be safe
out there, and again tell us your airport stories will
return with more strange news.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And we're back. Seriously, guys, how did that, like, genuinely,
how did that hit you when you saw that story
and you realize, oh wow, like I'm too old for
the military.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I was stoked man, I was really really excited to
be among that number.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I guess it's just just realizing how long we've been
walking around here forty something years. That's weird.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I know, tap, sir.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I am great with all of it. Y'all live in
my best life and my see you later.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's been great being your producer.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Thanks Dylan.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Oh, it's good to have feelings a year.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, well that's good. Let's talk then about the feelings
of this weird thing. That is an update to the
General mccastland saga that we talked about last time on
Strange News. There are a lot of updates. We're not
going to get to them all, but this one is
pretty fascinating to us. Here we go. This is from
(26:27):
the New York Post. Shane Glavin wrote it March fourteenth,
twenty twenty six. Possible X account of missing General William
mccastlin claimed fellow general was murdered over nuclear material. So
we're just going to go through this. We're going to
imagine that perhaps General mccaslan, who went missing on February
(26:49):
twenty seventh, had an X account and didn't state on
his X account. Hi, I'm General McCasland. But there was
a lot of information disclosed on that X account, like
some very high level physics stuff and some claims. You know,
you can put anything in a bio of an X account,
right right. This one in the bio claims to have
(27:11):
some credentials. So let's get into it. From the New
York Post article, McCaslin sixty eight went missing from his Albuquerque,
New Mexico home on February twenty seventh, which is the
last day that the person behind a highly credentialed X
account centered on spacecraft in advanced science made their last post.
So last post was made the day mccaslan went missing.
(27:33):
Timing is a little off, and we're going to get
into that. Let's continue here. This X account, TMB Spaceships,
claims to be run by a quote retired thirty eight
year active duty United States Air Force with a PhD
in engineering. They mentioned the Air Force Institute of Technology,
(27:54):
the Air Education Training Command, and the Air Force Material Command.
Both the AFIT and AFMC are located at Wright Patterson
Air Force Base, which we talked about last episode that
McCaslin was a huge deal there. From twenty eleven to
twenty thirteen. He was kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I would say he's kind of as far as generals go,
he's sort of a major general, a very modern model.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Of Yes, that's right. He also attended the Air War
College during his thirty four year career, which is a
part of the aetc. That we mentioned, their Air Education
Training Command. He also got a PhD in astronomical engineering
from MIT in nineteen eighty eight. So this account, again,
we highly recommend you go through it. It's still up
(28:44):
last time we checked. Again, Let's just mention warmer time,
TMB space ships. That is the at there. The account
claimed just a few months before mccaslan disappeared, that a general,
Major General John Rossi, who allegedly, according to the authorities,
(29:05):
committed suicide in twenty sixteen, says he was actually murdered
because of a refusal to hand over nuclear materials to
private contractors. Just quickly, a little backstory here. John Rossi,
the major general, was fifty five years old. He ended
his own life, according to The New York Post here,
(29:26):
just two days before receiving a third star and was
going to be handed the reins at the US Army
Space and Missile Defense Command.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So that's a court. The career is going upward. It's
not an upward yes, factory, Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Things are looking good. And that is according to the
Army Times. Army investigators who looked into it ruled his
he died by hanging. They ruled his death was due
to a quote severe lack of sleep and job anxiety,
which again, eh, feels weird to me. Strikes me as weird, right,
(30:02):
But who knows. We're all individuals. We all have things
going on in our lives that nobody else knows about.
That that is not proof of anything, right. The account
that we're talking about TMB Spaceship says, quote, I believe
General Rossi was killed because of an incident reported to
the Pentagon ig. The Inspector General that.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
He pentagram instagram the Pentagon inst sorry.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
No de penon ig and he put Inspector General in there,
maybe just to let us know that he would not
transfer nuclear weapons to private hands just months prior in
an attempted nuclear weapons theft from Fort Sill. This is
according to the Post. It continues General Rossy new Doe
that the Department of Energy takes all custody of nuclear weapons,
(30:50):
not private contractors. Right. The post concluded, we talked about
the DOE and the importance of like why that is
even in existence and largely due to nuclear weapons and
fistle materials and all of that good stuff, which means.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It's all so sketchy. Just say it. Yeah, it's also
very very sketchy.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Do you guys see a recent article about antimatter being
transferred by truck For the first time, my brain done broke.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
What shout out to truckers by the way, uh space truckers, Hey,
and the Department of Energy probably assuming yes, shout out
to the Department of Energy. Please guys, don't get us.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yeah, come on, come on, come on, be cool. So wait, wait,
there's more, guys. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Sort wait let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, So I did not know this. Do you remember
the John Podesta WikiLeaks email disclosures?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, that is when all of us found out, whether
we knew it or not, because whether we read them
or not, that John Podesta is the one that told
President Obama that Tom DeLong was hanging out with General McCaslin.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
There's a lot of stuff to unpacked there, guys, a
lot that's like the that's like the that's like the
quad amputee headline right there. We're going to need to
go through that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Guys. Also, I don't want to sow. I don't want
my background to come out too much. But don't snitch.
It's your job to snitch.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Tom DeLong from music, Yes, from the.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
One from Blee's the one.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Well, so let's just continue because we are now gosh,
it's now Wednesday, March twenty fifth, and General mccasle has
been missing since the twenty seventh of February. Uh. This
has written a little while back, this article, but there
was a little bit of an update that we we
kind of missed when we talked about this last week.
(32:55):
We talked about the last person to have physical interaction
with the General at his home on February twenty seventh
was this repair person that was at the house and
that was around ten am. But then his wife, Susan
had to leave for something like she left the house
around eleven o'clock am. But it wasn't mentioned and it
wasn't made clear. I guess in those previous articles that
(33:15):
Susan was in fact the last person to see him.
The General at eleven ten, and then by twelve oh
four when she returns, he's gone. I did not know this, guys.
The general's wife, Susan McCaslin, is also a retired government physicist,
a second lieutenant with the Air Force, and a former
(33:36):
military contractor employee. So I mean, that's not strange at all, Right,
folks in the military hanging out and you know, meeting
somebody else in the military, or somebody who shares a
lot of the same things having a romantic relationship. That's like,
that makes a ton of sense. It's just she is
also like she is up there and she maybe knows
(33:59):
some stuff and is highly intelligent as a physicist and
is on that same level. It does make me wonder.
I don't know, it just makes me wonder because everything
I've seen from General mccaslen's wife doesn't seem to be
like a lot of how would you put it, A
ton of concern at least outward public concern, right, who
(34:20):
knows what's going on behind closed doors and things, But
there's not a lot of outward Concernly, geez, where's my husband.
Let's find my dang husband right now. It's more like, oh,
the general's fine.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Well, yeah, and to that point, we know, especially folks
who function in that rarefied error, they have to be
pretty buttoned up in public statements, so those statements may
be curated. I really appreciate your point about how we
will never know the internal struggles of other people, right
(34:56):
unless they share those There's a made up word for it.
Most words are made up, right, which is saunder s
O N d er. I'm waxing to philosophic here, but Matt,
I know that we have all been keeping a close
eye on this story and really appreciate you bringing in
(35:18):
these updates because the more you look at it, the
curiouser and curiouser this disappearance becomes.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh yeah, and everything seems to link back in my
mind to some kind of space engagement. Nuclear weapons are
highly involved in here. There are rumors that there are
a lot of other disappearances and deaths of high level
government and science human beings that have been happening recently,
(35:49):
similar to the stuff we saw happening in Iran where
nuclear scientists were getting killed one by one usted yeah,
oh yeah, an accident here, a full on homicide. There's
there's just some weirdness occurring. I would recommend everybody, you know,
(36:11):
don't take it as word that TMB Spaceships is General McCaslin,
because we don't have that proof yet. But go through
some of the posts that were made on that x account.
There's one from December thirtieth, twenty twenty three, so a
while back, where there's a hand drawn picture of what
appears to be a UAP that you can find. It
(36:34):
looks fascinating, It's got almost a I don't know you
it looks it's not a rainbow, but it looks like
a trail of brilliant colors coming out of it. And
then it appears to be a small little white dot
with what's described as like dark space around it. And
then just just this person again. It could be it
(36:55):
could be some fifteen year old who's like really into
physics that is just trying to control everybody. Could be
General mccaslan, or it could be somebody else.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
You know, those fifteen their physics, well, I mean some
out there.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
It's very I'm just saying there's it says I saw
this in nineteen ninety eight from the cockpit of a
KC one thirty five, a cacod. It is the speci
physicity makes uh makes me wonder because this is a
refueling giant airplane that's like kind of like the ones
that you know, one that went down and then one
(37:30):
a couple others that got damaged to big news about
all that stuff. But he was like, it's one of those,
and he saw this crazy thing, and then he posts
about the helium ionizer in it. I want to see
the helium ionizer, you know, I I ionized helium to
h E plus five or plus six states. And then
there are folks, there are other folks from official accounts
in the physics space going what the heck? How did
(37:51):
you get helium above plus two? And all this other stuff?
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Show your work? What's the building in there?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
But then he goes through, just whoever it is goes
through and make very specific claims about specific fields within
physics and things that are not not being looked at.
I think in popular science as what's possible?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
So I mean, okay, so at the very least we
can say this account on Twitter n X is a
very good impressionist of the of what we know about
the major general we do have to ask raft ask guys,
what do we think is he dead? Is the X field?
(38:35):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean? I don't know. It's curious that the last
thing that was posted on that X account this is
what is February twenty seventh, at one eight pm generate
small local field, high voltage gap geometrically placed, allowing sustained
dwell time in gap. Who knows what the f that means?
(39:00):
It was in relation to a couple other weird posts.
He was often replying to other physics posts or news posts,
sometimes getting a little salty. It's very interesting to see
the timing is what weirds me out, you guys, Okay,
I didn't think about this last episode. I was talking
with my partner about it. Monica Reza Jacinto that we
talked about went missing on June twenty second, twenty twenty five.
(39:23):
Right the twelve day war between Israel and Iran was
between the thirteenth and the twenty fourth of June. Who
knows that means nothing?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Who probably not related at all? But then McCaslin goes
missing on February twenty seventh. Does anyone else remember anything
notable happening on February twenty seventh? That day, at three
thirty eight pm Eastern Standard time, while a board Air
Force One, President Trump ordered the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I was going to say it was my ex girlfriend's birthday,
but yeah, both of those things happened on the twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Nice congratulations to you. You so and so pointed to
you through the camera that you won't see. But the
the it is weird to me that you can tie
it's it doesn't work out perfectly right, So it's again
it's like just who knows, and it means nothing. It
(40:21):
is still strange to me that those two major escalations
of war with Iran coincide with these things. After we know,
we are fairly certain, no, we have a strong feeling
that there were agents from other countries operating in Iran
to take out their nuclear scientists.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
And I'm hooked on a feeling. Yeah, yeah, I agree
with you.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, that's so. It feels as though General McCaslin, in
my mind, no, something's coming and took off unless he
was yeah, unless he was taken out. I feel like
somebody who has been in the military that long feels
a true sense of patriotism that is beyond a lot
(41:16):
of the bs, that is put out there as propaganda
or as party unification kind of stuff, trying to get
everybody raw raw for one thing. Feels somebody like that
sees America as an idea or concept and something that
is potentially beautiful but has a ton of flaws. And
I feel like if somebody like that knew something was
(41:36):
coming that was going to be horrific, you know, like, uh,
doctor like Manhattan, doctor Manhattan, is that his name or
mister Manhattan from the book, is something to that level
that was on the way. I feel like he would
want to I feel like he would not want that
to happen again. It just depends on we can be
(41:58):
We can all be convinced of a great many things.
Wha could do things, And it just makes you wonder
if somebody like that could be convinced that was a
good idea, or if they would want to try and
stop it or fight back or tell somebody.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Or get gut. Uh. Yeah. The The issue is to
put it in comparison or an analogy. We have a
bunch of interesting puzzle pieces that appear as though they
should not fit, but do indeed fit quite snugly together.
The issue is we are not lucky enough to have
(42:34):
the full picture of what the completed puzzle looks like.
So we're guessing we're we're the where the old we're
the old story of the mice trying to figure out
an elephant. You know, do you guys remember that one?
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Yes, well, the because they can only say it a
little at a time.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah, is it a snake? Is it a treat? Yeah?
It might be an elephant. Yeah, Well, I think there's
another conspiracy foot.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
There's a ton going on. There's also news. It's not
related at all, but look up X fifty nine. We
obsess on the show about the X thirty seven B,
and we don't know about the other ex planes, but
this is a NASA X plane that is making the
news and people are talking about even NASA's posting about it.
Space dot com is all about it. X fifty nine
(43:24):
a quiet supersonic jet that looks crazy long and very cool.
The whole idea behind it. You can look all this
up on your own. It's super neat, but the whole
point of it is to achieve supersonic flight, but do
it quiet so that eventually, maybe at least according to
what they're writing, eventually maybe we'll get to write in
(43:46):
super quiet supersonic jets that will get us from New
York to California in mere minutes.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Guys, we're doing this for everyone, not just for ourselves.
Also check out our upcoming episode on Russia's super weapons.
And I can't leave this joke behind that newest X
model you're talking about, Matt, I would say it looks awesome,
It looks NASA tea.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Yes, it was developed by skunk Works at Lockheed Martin. Everybody,
it was built by them, Sorry, NASA, NASA like had
the ideas and then skunk Works built it.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Ben, what was that commercial that briefly that the short
lived commercial airline situation that involves supersonic jets we talked
about on Concord The Concord that is a thing many
people might not be aware of. I certainly wasn't, but
that there was a brief time where you could fly
on a supersonic jet commercially.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Yeah, and I am not qualified to fly those. So
let's make sure that if we get in a situation,
we're at a local, kind of off the books airport
with a small engine craft.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
There you go, oh yeah, civilian supersonic flights have been
prohibited over the United States since nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
Boo, I lost that one.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
But yeah, but NASA has this new thing called quest
Quiet Supersonic Technology. It's their mission to make it.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
So, right, that's it. Wait a minute. If that's the case,
how are the concords able to because they were it
was they were notoriously noisy when they would break the
sound barrier.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Not anymore. Yeah, they're still there. They may come back, but.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
I'm just saying that was well past the seventies when
that when that program existed.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Right, they were landing in New York. They were primarily
a European that's really thank you.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Correct, there you go, So they would be breaking the
sound barrier an international air.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Space, I guess anyway, X fifty nine, X fifty nine
look it up. They just finished their second flight, which
didn't go well because of glitch, so they didn't really
finish it, but they started it and then they landed again.
Y all right, that's it. We'll be right back afterword
from our sponsors.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
And we've returned with our last Strange news segment for
two days. Episode teased a couple of things here. Should
I lead off with the serious or the silly uh,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
You and I have both been following the the serious one.
Let's do you know, let's let's let's do that when
I'm interested in your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Well, I mean, it's just another example or suspicion, folks
you know in the know, pointing to potential market manipulation
by the President through his use of his social media
platform that he also owns, truth Social. We've had numerous
situations where the stock market took a tumble, and then
(46:54):
we've heard tell of some very high level traders buying
the dip, potentially with prior knowledge to these event shaking
statements from the president. When you're somebody like that and
you're speaking to what his own mouthpiece calls policy from
(47:16):
the horse's mouth, that can actually change events, change perceptions,
which can of course shift markets. What we are seeing
now is a lot of evidence pointing to insider trading
around oil futures. When Trump recently made a post on
truth Social citing talks with the Iranian government going quite well,
(47:43):
leading to a potential ceasefire, a winding down of the
war effort in Iran. We saw the price of oil drop,
but just fifteen minutes prior to his release of that truth,
which is ironic. It's some very nineteen eighty four Ministry
(48:04):
of Truth type stuff. We saw some serious trading going
on in the oil futures market, Ben, I'll throw to
you on that man.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
What did you see?
Speaker 4 (48:15):
There was a handful of traders. Some of this had
to do with polymarket as well, if I'm not mistaken,
which is another crazy thing we've been seeing that shouldn't
be as unregulated as it is, and also has serious
ties to the Trump family because his son sits on
the board of this particular betting thing. But they're saying
it's not betting because it's futures, but it's also clearly betting.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Yeah, so here's the skinny folks. In the early hours
of March twenty second, again we're recording. On March twenty fifth,
the Financial Times reported that unidentified people had placed what
we'll pull huge one way bet on follied oil prices.
(48:58):
To your point, Noal, just a few minutes before the
President of the United States publicly announced, Hey, we're not
gonna We're not actually going to strike ironium power plants.
We've had productive conversations, so it looks like something around
six thousand, two hundred Brent and West Texas intermediate contracts
(49:24):
changed hands right in this Goldilock zone between six forty
nine and six point fifty am New York Times, So
it's about fifteen minutes, right, Like you said before that
social media post by again the President of the United States,
this position, without getting into the weeds of stocks or
(49:46):
stock market sorcery, this position was something to the tune
of five hundred and eighty million dollars. Guys, we need
to be in the room. You know. I know we're
not fans big government, but can we send Dylan to
just sit in the room and text us that'd be cool?
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Yeah, good, good, good to have a man on the inside.
And that's correct. Been that aspect of it, one hundred percent.
We also see as of Wednesday three hundred and fifty
five live predictions on polymarket linked to outcomes in the war,
such as the identity of the next leader of Iran,
the date of a US Iran nuclear deal, and when
(50:27):
Iran will launch military action against Israel. We saw, of course,
the polymarket controversy surround the surrounding the abduction of Venezuelan
President Nicholas Madura which had some very hinky timing, let's
just say, in terms of big payouts for that kind
of stuff. So it's real problematic not to mention the
fact that the Iranian spokes folks are saying that these
(50:51):
talks didn't take place.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
They say, the US is negotiating against itself, and I
want to give the flowers there when they're deserved. Spoke
spoke folks, spokes folks, I like that one.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
It's fun to say, thanks, Ben. We are seeing them
referring to more high level negotiations involving intermediaries, and you know,
it's not the first time we've seen this president. Let's
just say, bend the truth, and let's just go even
just a couple of steps further and just say outright lie.
And we also know that a big part of his
(51:27):
technique for rhetoric and for business and for doing deals
is to just repeat the lie enough times to where
it becomes the truth. Therefore, the irony of the whole
truth dot com of it all. We also saw a
recent controversy surrounding him saying that he spoke to a
living US president who told him that he wished he
(51:49):
had done what Trump is doing in Iran, after which
we then saw comments from AIDS for all of the
living US presidents saying no such conversation place.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
So, okay, I never thought it would be in this position,
but I'm going to say it. Especially when you are elderly,
you run into people who look like a lot of
people that you have met in the past. So it
is possible that maybe there was a great conversation with
someone who looked like Bill Clinton or someone who looked
(52:22):
like a bush. Yeah, I talked to him.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
He did refer to Goblin Newsom as being the President
of the United States as well. In a recent Time.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
Energy shout out to Tim Apple for.
Speaker 4 (52:34):
Sure, Tim Apple out to Tommy Appleseed.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Can I bring something into this? Nold must of course
it's on the polymarket side. I was reading in Al
Jazeera from me, okay, can we talk about the weird
stuff that happened with the Iran strikes on February twenty eight?
Absolutely to me, So that to me is the weirdest thing.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
It's all wack.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
It was this person named Andrew ten Gwei, who appears
to be an analyst, was talking with Al Jazeera and
said he had discovered that there were thirty eight accounts
that are believed to be owned by a single entity,
either a person or a group. Thirty eight accounts that
(53:25):
netted more than two million dollars betting correctly on the
Iran strikes on February twenty eighth. And furthermore, the accounts,
each one of them placed anywhere between four and ten
bets with a nearly one hundred percent success rate. And
this person who's an investigator of sorts, found that these
(53:48):
accounts began preparing cryptocurrency transfers on the twenty second of
February before the bets were placed on the twenty seventh,
as though whoever is in control of these accounts was alerted, Hey,
the strikes are going to happen.
Speaker 4 (54:03):
And I think I think the person that you're referring to, Ben,
I'm sorry, Matt, might also be the same guy that
identified a practice called wallet splitting that is a technique
used to mask uh suspicious transactions. It is a practice
involving dividing up bets among a series of accounts, quoting
(54:24):
straight from the Al Jazeera piece to avoid detection, or
opening multiple wallets to place a new bet. And that's
from Ben York, a former research analyst that the delightfully
named Coen Telegraph Consulting. Yeah, about the founder of star Child,
a platform that lets users develop personal artificial intelligence agents,
which is something we've been talking about rec too. This
piece is by Aaron Hale over at Al Jazeera, and
(54:47):
some really excellent information in that and that, for sure,
I would love to just really quickly point to another piece.
Let's see about the volume of the trade volume in
stock and oil future surged minutes before Trump's market turning post.
I think you may have already said this, but I'm
just going to put a little more meat on the bones.
(55:08):
Around six fifty am in New York s and P
five hundred e many futures trading on the CMA recorded
a sharp and isolated jump in volume. Similar pattern was
observed in oil markets. Roughly fifteen minutes later, at seven
oh five am, Trump posted the market moving announcement about
Iran on true Social.
Speaker 2 (55:26):
I just.
Speaker 4 (55:28):
The degree to which he's able to just do this
stuff unilaterally that clearly move the needle in very very
real ways based on his whims, it just feels wrong.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
And for the record, everybody, lest you think we are
throwing stones from a glass House. Please remember that even
in our lowly positions as cogs in a big corporate machine,
every year we have to we personally have to take
a very strange training course about insider trading. And I
(56:06):
don't know about you guys, but it always reminds me
about how much money none of us have, you know,
And what's hypothetical. It's like, uh, it's like, oh, you
are over in Nairobi and you are hanging out with
the uh, you know, the attache to a third party
(56:26):
government and they say that if you do blah blah blah,
they'll give you ten thousand dollars and you can you know, uh,
you can walk away tax free. What's the right choice?
Speaker 4 (56:38):
Well, and just how so much of this stuff is
about decorum, is about behaving yourself, following the rules, unwritten rules,
unwritten rules, and also, you know, and not to be
too nihilistic about it, but I don't see any consequences
coming down the pike for stuff like this. It's just
(57:00):
it's so unremarkable. It's remarkable how unremarkable it is.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
You know. It's uh, you know, one of the things
that always gets bipartisan support in US Congress, shutting down
any law against or any move to ban insider trading
in Congress. Maybe Bernie Sanders is saying we should keep
(57:27):
things honest and be treated like the rest of the
United States. But right now there's something called the Restore
Trust in Congress Act that is supposed to address these
kind of shenanigans at this level of government. But to
to your to what you're saying there, no, and it's
what our journalists are saying here. That is not going
(57:50):
to stop what's happening with the executive branch.
Speaker 2 (57:56):
And there's no way that passes, right Ben.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
You're correct. I mean it's going to be it's going
to be over there with the Stop Insider Trading Act,
which the current administration mentioned in a State of the
Union address. But no, it's not going to be fixed.
These people are in the cat bird seat. You're asking
them to climb down from the coolest seat.
Speaker 4 (58:21):
How no you t And also just to point out
to you, we know that this happens on both sides,
and we are not picking on one side or the other. Uh.
There have been examples and accusations for Democrats doing the
same kind of insider trading crap.
Speaker 5 (58:34):
And it's yes, yes, sorry, I had a guys, there's
a lot of bless you and God bless America.
Speaker 2 (58:45):
Guys. I would encourage I would encourage all of us
to consider joining hundreds of our colleagues and making a
voluntary contribution through automatic payroll deduction, because broad employee and
participation in the pack strengthens our ability to age constructively.
What I'm just saying, you could just contribute to a
pack and then you your voice would be heard through
(59:08):
the pack. Right, That's how that's how it works, the transfer.
Speaker 3 (59:12):
We folks, we are recording remotely, so I cannot run
across this table and push Matt Frederick. I know what
you're reading from this is uh, but this is this
is a real problem, right, going back to the story
originally reporting here Nol. First off, oil futures are a
(59:33):
really weird thing. They're not always good for the people
who actually use fossile fuels. But secondly, come on, man,
the emperor has no clothes. This is clearly a grift.
This is not a lucky guess.
Speaker 4 (59:48):
No, no, And that's the thing. It's just so it's
so brazen, and that's the point. At this point, there's
not even any attempt made to even hide this kind
of stuff and it's just real depressing. So can we
move on to the silly one real quick? To wrap
up with the silly one?
Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
Yeah, let's end on a positive note. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I don't know it's positive exactly, it is.
Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
It's positive.
Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
It's something. We got a rogue employee at the Department
of Health and Human Services who changed the voice the
outgoing voicemail for the Department UH to a Domino's Pizza recording.
An employee and the Department of Health and Human Services
change the agency's automated phone greading to a Domino's Pizza message.
(01:00:31):
On Tuesday, following a surge of protest calls from activists
demanding funding cuts, UH white Coat Waiste Project rallied supporters
to call HHS demanding officials cut funding for cat testing
at a University of Missouri lab while accusing the National
Institute of Health of approving a one hundred and twenty
six million dollars allotment for beagle experiments like Beagle Like.
Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
The Dog, Beagle Like the Dog.
Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Yeah. At a Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
hearing on Wednesday, Justin Goodman denounced the prank, prompting Senator
Joni Ernst to reply that the voicemail was not okay
and actually makes my stomach turn. HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon
stated the voicemail was an unauthorized action by a rogue
employee and not representative of HHS, and confirmed the phone
(01:01:21):
line has returned to normal operations.
Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Makes my stomach turn, though, that's very anti Domino makes
my stomach gru grumble.
Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Give me that pizza.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
I mean, but what if it was my guy? What
if it was a different pizza chade? Would you still
be so upset? What if it was one of the
good ones? Well?
Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Hey, can I just say something recently? At a karate party, Okay,
it sounds like he.
Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Does does go to karate party.
Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
On a karate pizza party, a karate and pizza party.
Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
I think I think there's a thread here.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Look a full disclosure. It was a black belt ceremony
after party, and I ordered for this party as by
the request of the organization, a bunch of Domino's pizza.
I have not tasted a Domino's pepperoni pizza in nine
ten years. Okay, I tried one at this party and
(01:02:18):
I was pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Whoa, what were you expecting? Did you, like bo Burnham level,
lower your expectations and then get suppressed like positive expectations. Yes,
this this is a true thing, but I would advance
to you guys that this is also Discordian level safe activism. Right,
(01:02:45):
just jammed the system a little bit. You know, whomever
wrote the manual, the Field Manual of Simple Sabotage, would
absolutely agree with this. If you are in control of
the of the telephone comms, why not just change the
message and then disavow all knowledge of that right blames
(01:03:11):
Blame Dominoes. I'm putting that in the description for our
strange news. Jeez, okay, yeah, sorry dominos he caught astray
on this one.
Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
Can I say Dominoes has a new prop product that's
almost like in the style of a Detroit pizza with
the cheese crown around the edges, and it's really good.
What Yeah, yeah, we should.
Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Have conspiracy pizza.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Parties sponsor us SPON sponsor.
Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
We definitely should. A federal health agency run by one
of America's most prominent critics of institutional medicine just deflected
citizen complaints by redirecting them to a pizza chain's voicemail,
International Business Times reporter Chelsea and the pizza Pizza said sorry.
The Department of Health and Human Services by Secretary Robert F.
(01:04:03):
Kennedy confirmed on nineteen March twenty twenty six, and an
unnamed staff member at altered and official fund line to
Greed incoming college with thank you for calling Domino's Pizza?
Can you please hold thank you? Can I just say,
y'all seems like a pretty innocuous prank.
Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Yeah, I think we're all on board with that.
Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
Hill pretty chill and goofy and silly in fun. And
you know it's not chilling, goofy and sillyent fun animal experiments.
Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Well, yes, that is that is correct. You could also
say that the over three hundred and twenty million people
living in the United States are being subjected to animal
experiments right now. Yeah, and again, we love Discordianism, We
love the fun, the fun prankster forms of protest, and
(01:04:50):
we would love to hear your examples.
Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
We also know that RFK Junior has a history of
animal experiments. On a personal level, did you see the
thing that just came out recently, some sort of diary injury.
We talked about how he stopped the family car to
get out and cut off the penis of a roadkill
raccoon so that he could quote unquote study it later.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
I mean, you get in situations.
Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Okay, well we weren't there.
Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Have you a raccoon penis?
Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
He probably wanted to grind it up and turn into
a supper.
Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Why am I going so hard on defending this guy.
I've never better. Okay, So the whale, the bear, the raccoon,
not all penises though.
Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Can you just imagine stop stop stop, stop the car,
stop the car. Science watch him run out with his
hunting knife that he just has, and he.
Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
He just has it. It's his leathern.
Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Guys, the worm tells you to do certain things.
Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
It does.
Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Thank you in the wild, and he needed it.
Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
It happened to be attached to her record, so it
had to be drawn out the record. We are, of course,
referring to the parasitic encounters that RFK Junior has confirmed
he had in the past. We are not referring to
the famous NBA player of old Dennis the Worm Rodman,
(01:06:28):
or maybe.
Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
Or the the breakdancing move the Worm, which is a
fun one. And also it's it's entirely possible that the
worm whispers are what caused r f K Junior to
work out in jeans well, because why else would you
do that? It's an odd.
Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Choice in situations. Not everybody owns more than one pair
of trousers.
Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
I think, look just on the jeens workout tip. Guys,
there's a there's a gym right around the corner over there,
and I am constantly in there after we record or
before we recording. Guess what I'm wearing.
Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
Don't do it, Matt, don't be Canadian tuxedo? Gee? Why
want better for you?
Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
My next guest was a hot dog costume.
Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Sometimes sometimes sometidays.
Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Awesome, sometimes on Thursdays, Noel, what else? Do we got
any final thoughts on this? Before we wrap.
Speaker 4 (01:07:21):

to March thirtieth, twenty twenty six. Shout out to everybody,
(00:53):
by the way, who is listening to this while in
line at the airport. We've got so much stuff to
get in to guys, gentlemen, that's.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Your back, y'all. At least that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, we're going to get into that one for sure. Uh.
I'd like to share with everybody something for the headline alone.
Because we read a lot of news. We read a
lot of normal news, we read a lot of strange news.
We dive into rabbit holes, and I think we all
collect headlines. So let me give this one to you. Guys.
(01:28):
Boner Bear honey recalled for dangerous undeclared ingredients.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
And uh and and dangerous erections.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yes, yeah, when I first saw the headline, I really
thought it was like Bonaire bear or something that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
You're right. I did that check as well, Matt. This uh,
this story comes to us courtesy of the good folks
at k T A L News. Uh as they as
they verify. Uh, Boner Bear honey is a supplement that
is marketed to make your sex life sweeter.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It's that p Diddy honey. He was always screaming about
these honey packets or whatever, some kind of yes, yes
you can, you get them gas stations. You do see
these types of of pnile supplements at gas stations, but
this one is new to me. Ben, what what went AWRYE?
What went ry?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
The stuff you see up there at the impulse by
section of the convenience store, right around the legal trucker
speed and the bongs. We the bongs are behind the
counter that the gas station are you go into. No,
just tell me off air.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The ones around around my place are behind glass that
are all along the entrance. So like when you walk
into the gas station, behold, I do love.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And I know the gas station you're talking about, Matt,
because I profile gas stations obsessively and so hard. If
they've got the LED lights, it's the one I think
it's okay. So I got to your place early a
while back, and I'm like, I was just driving around.
(03:14):
You gotta be you gotta be aware, right, And I
didn't know the roads too well, so I ended up
on this. Oh I'm not going to do the streets
on air, but I ended up at this gas station
that was like kind of a straight shot and then
at a corner where it would take a right. And
I want to say they had those LED lights rimming
(03:34):
the windows on the outside. Maybe I'm thinking about the
wrong one, but as soon as those I see those lights,
I immediately think this is a cool place.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
There's stuff going down in here.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
There's something going down. There's there's something more to uh
that employees only door.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
They're also the kind of gas stations you're likely to
see an exposed shelf just out in the open with
VHS porn.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
All right, Well, we live I'm sorry, very different neighborhoods.
Special I feel like I know the gas station you're
talking about as well. Stop it you do not, all right,
I'll stop. I'll stop. Case of the joint. So, according
to the FDA, company that makes Boner Bear Honey is
(04:25):
called Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements. They're out of Tampa, Florida.
They are recalling several of their products designed to improve intimacy.
And they are recalling these products because they have things
like not just Boner Bear Honey, but Red Bull Extreme
(04:46):
and Blue Bull Extreme. They contain two substances idental and
to dolliful.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I am recognized from your run of the mill boner pill.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
They're the active ingredients correct viagrant blue chew, blue chew.
So for those listed things, the ones that get a
brand name, uh, you have to have a prescription, the
supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. And look, folks, we're
(05:24):
not saying there's anything wrong with a rectile dysfunction medication.
Uh So funny one for us to talk about. But
our buddies at Boner Bear Honey did not did not
do the right thing. They had undeclared ingredients, which means
(05:45):
that the reason they have to be declared and the
reason they have to be approved, right is because these
ingredients are active and they can have they can't have
damaging or delea tates areus effects if you if they
interact with other medication you're already taking.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, it's a it's a blood pressure thing. You can
really mess with your blood pressure and.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Extremity. It can't be good.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It can't be good for the rest of the extremities. Yeah,
or the old heart muscle.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah. Yeah. So we always want to start on a
positive note, and we love to end on a positive
note as well, to bookend things with positivity. So we're
going to say this is a positive boner Bear, Honey,
you did the right thing.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Thank you for doing right by us. Boner Bear. Do
they have a mascot named boner Bear?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Because I hope so. I hope he's positively pry epic.
I do oh a priapism. I do love that. That
came up the other day.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Y'all real quick, before we take a tiny time break,
I just want to drop a headline for you that
I find to be incredibly layered. Okay, our buddy Frank
sent this to me. Okay, I'm just gonna read it
from Fox five DC and and you know we'll go
from there. A druple amputee professional cornhole player faces murder
charges unpacked that for me all what Frank said.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, and the murder weapon was a firearm.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yet and we all, I think privately without talking to
each other, folks, all three of us immediately had across
the roads moment where we were figuring out what to
do with that headline. Dylan, did you see that one?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I didn't, but I was wondering if I could make
kind of a niche music joke about boner Bears.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oh my gosh, yeah, you must well.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Boner Bear for when you're up in the woods and.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It's a body bear joke.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Wait, wait, do it do it again?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yes, of please, No, I get it now. That's pretty
niche because he made that record all up.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
In the woods. Yeah, Dylan, do it again with some gravitas.
Put some mustard on it.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Boner Bear for when you're.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Up in the woods.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
There it is, sweet Angel.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
We're going to take a pause for a word from
our sponsors. When we return, we're going to talk about
some incredible updates in space. We're going to talk about
some mysteries. We're going to talk about AI and awesome
phone call pranks. Maybe we'll make a little bit of
oil money, But as we teased at the top, we're
(08:23):
going to return with one for everybody in line at
the airport now, and we're back, all right. We talked
about this a little bit on I can't remember if
it was Listener Mail, Strange News or an episode. But
(08:43):
we have all been traveling. We're going to be back
on the road again pretty soon and quite often during
this year. And we have all seen these reports of
lines taking forever at US airports. Right. Have we experienced
these personally? Anybody got caught in a big line?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Not yet. I did mention to you Ben that I flew.
I think we both flew pretty recently, and I did
the old, the old switcheroo trick where you go to
the international terminal for a domestic check in. And that's
because the lines that were listed on I know it's true,
it's true, it's but it is what it is, and
it's the first time I tried it. The line. The
wait times that were listed on the site that we
(09:24):
look at that updates in real time for the regular
terminal was upwards of fifty minutes, which is unusually long
for Jackson Hartsfield Jackson. But now, guys, if you look
at it. It just says there's no updated wait times
at all, and it just says due to ongoing federal
you know, hubbub Shenaniganry allow up to five hours for
(09:49):
wait times, not even any numbers anymore. And that's the
first time I've ever seen that in my life. And
we all rely heavily on this fly atl website religiously.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We look at it the way that some people fiddle
with rosaries, especially when we're on the journey to the airport.
That part of that is probably due to the fact
that people are overcorrecting for the amount of time they'll
have to spend. Like can you imagine waiting five hours
(10:18):
to get through security for a flight that is an
hour and thirty minutes. That is happening to people.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, yeah, And why is it happening? Guys?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Oh gosh, Matt, I'm so glad you asked Dylan if
we could get a sound cube. Welcome to our new
favorite conspiracy. We've been spending a lot of time looking
into this. There is a pretty, i would say, credible
(10:51):
argument that the current airport security crisis, the TSA crisis,
is manufactured. It is not a bug. As you just said,
No it is a feature. It is by design thanks
to our friends at Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah, the idea of the idea of normalizing the presence
of ice in places where maybe typically wouldn't see them. Okay,
I mean that's one one, one facet. I mean Steve
Bannon was on some talk show talking about how this
is a real good dry run for when we post
ice agents up at the polls.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
So yes, Steve Bannon is still a living person, all right,
I'm being fair.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Who was pardoned, by the way for his crimes and
I think it was remember Scaramucci, the mooch. He was
on some podcast recently saying how he got that pardon
because of all the dirt that he has on on DJT.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, he's a legendarily cool person, Scaramucci, but it rings,
it has the ring of truth to it.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
That guy's definitely skezy af but I don't doubt that.
And now Bannon's out there still be saying the real
quiet part, real loud.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, yeah, because the zone has been flooded. So why
not have a little treat for your friends on a podcast?
Here is the conspiracy, folks, the idea that Project twenty
twenty five, which we've discussed in previous episodes, set out
a blueprint for major changes to the Department of Homeland Security,
(12:36):
explicitly targeting the TSA the same way that certain political
factions are explicitly targeting the Postal Service of the United States.
So Chapter five of Project twenty twenty five targets the
TSA as something that can be privatized, that can be
(12:58):
sold off to Oligarch's right. And I know, obviously, I
think we all know that the folks working at the TSA,
they're not your enemies, you know what I mean. They're
often not meeting people on their best days. They're especially
not having the best days themselves right now. It's kind
of like when you pull a big corporation with a problem.
(13:21):
The person who answers the phone is not the person
who created the problem. They're in the trenches with you.
They're just trying to get through their day and accomplish
their goals. So we know that there were major airport
delays as the TSA had a growing staff shortage due
(13:43):
to this government shutdown partial government shutdown that began in
mid February of this year. If you go to places
like the Hill, you'll see that more than four hundred
TSA officers quit since Valentine's Day and an agreement still
has not been reached. If we're going super conspiratorial, we'll
(14:07):
see that this chaos, this flooding of the zone was
a according to critics, a direct move plucked from the
Project twenty to twenty five hand book, which you can
read entirely online. And they're saying that quote, until it
(14:28):
is privatized, the TSA should be treated as a national
security provider and its workforce should be deunionized immediately. This
is on page one fifty nine of the Project twenty
twenty five handbook. I like and it goes to, I
(14:48):
mean we teased it a little. The turn here it's
it's a new iteration of what we call starve the beast.
The starve the beast conspiracy is that you defund, you
hamstring existing public institutions, and then you say, oh, big
government is so terrible, we should privatize this, right, So
(15:12):
why doesn't everybody just pay for FedEx instead of the
postal service. We create the problem. We purport to solve
the problem by doing things like inserting ICE at the
security lines. Ice is not TSA trained from what we
can tell, it's us. I sent this my favorite typo
(15:34):
to you guys recently. The exact headline from foxfive Atlanta
dot com is ICE agents mainly watching crows at Atlanta Airport. Now,
I was obviously very excited until I realized it was
a typo.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I don't need no crows at the airport, y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I think you got to keep an eye on them.
I think they meant crowds. They they changed, They changed
the headline later.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Can it bring something up just that I've heard that
this whole action of not allowing the funding of certain
parts of DHS, which includes TSA and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Until I've heard it fact gets passed.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, I've heard it's all associated with this Saye thing.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
There's no question about it.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Which to me feels like Oukham's razor. The folks in
power want to pass this thing that requires very specific
real IDs just in order to register to vote or
to vote. They would want that in place because they
know the trouble that will cause for a lot of voters.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
There's a hot mic clip of Mike Johnson talking about
the percentage of folks that this would disenfranchise and how
that would ute unquote be great for us. I mean
the Republican Party. I mean that's out there. There's no
question that they're thinking this way, and it is very
much an effort to ram this thing through because I
believe multiple proposals have have been submitted that would have
(17:05):
funded TSA. But they Trump is saying he doesn't want
to do any deals with the with the Democrats. That
doesn't involve fully passing the same.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Great negotiating buddy, Hey, buckaroo, how's the wrong going anyway?
Starve the TSA till it fails. They're using force multipliers.
That's what they're calling ice.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Ah that okay, got it?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And just can I'm so sorry, can you explain a
force multiplier really quickly?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
A force multiplier is something that exacerbates pressure, they simply put.
So ice is one of those. But but Matt, where
are you going with this?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
It's just exhausting to me that there are enough individual
human beings who would just do what this person says,
the person who's currently in charge says, despite knowing, like
you know, I think every human being that has an
ability to read the news or has access to the news,
like sees what's happening. They see that isn't it delta?
(18:09):
Removing all of.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
The progression that works. It is delta. A couple of
other airlines are lighting up as well.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, they see all this happening. They're going to feel
the effects very shortly, and yet still they just say
whatever you say, sir. It just it's astounding to me
how that's playing out.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yep, we're seeing it in real time and guys in
terms of like, you know, folks just doing what this
individual says. The question then becomes, where does this individual
get the idea for some of the things that he says?
And I just want to read really quickly from a
piece on CNN Linda from Arizona, a caller on a
conservative radio show, might deserve the credit or blame for
the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents deploying to airports across
(18:52):
the United States today. The caller said on the Clay
Travis and Buck Sexton Show last Friday, I think I
have a solution to the TSA problem. She said, we
need to bring ice agents in. After twenty four hours
on Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced his vision and then
through searching some TV transcript archives, there are no other
mentions of this idea except from this individual, So it
(19:14):
would appear that the idea did come.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
From Linda from Arizona. Great, Yeah, thanks Linda Goodwood. We
also know that we also know that critics of what's happening, like,
first off, I want to pause here, I want to
make space for all of us. Do you guys agree
with my conspiracy theory that this is being purposely manufactured?
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah, it definitely feels like a political strong arm. You know,
I don't know about the twenty twenty five project twenty
twenty five of it all. I see what you're saying
about the privatization of it and may this may well
serve a dual purpose, but per the Linda from Arizona
of it all, it also just feels like a kind
of a desperate move that's done in kind of an
(20:01):
imp improvisational way. And sometimes I'm not sure how intentional
some of these types of moves are and how much
it's just a bob and weave and you know, build
the plane while it's flying.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
The old badger in the bag is it is devilishly
easy to mistake and competence for malevolence. I do see
malevolence here. I do believe that this is to normalize
the existence of of ice, you know, the Trojan horse, uh,
(20:35):
this kind of thing. And it's especially weird to me
and I hope to all of us that ICE doesn't
really have jurisdiction in this situation. This is an intimidation move.
This is up there with a poll taxes, right, This
is up there with voting the old voting tests that
(20:57):
they used to give people during the civil rights movement.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Oh and speaking of the poll taxes, that's a big
argument that's being made for this Save Act stuff is
that you know, to get the appropriate documentation, A, it
takes time, and B it takes money, and you're not
supposed to have to pay money to be able to vote.
And it's easy to argue that this is a poll tax.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Oh well, so it's definitely punishing you for traveling.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh no, I just mean the documentation the Save Act stuff,
like to get the right documents that would be required
if that were to pass. It basically is tantamount to
charging people for the right to vote.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Where are we at now?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
But just that point you're making there, band, these ICE
agents are not trained to do the things TSA does, right,
And if you wanted that, you'd have to send them
through training programs and then get them to the airports,
which you know, in an emergency situation like this where
it feels like an emergency situation like this, where the
airlines are just going to be losing tons of money. Again,
(21:59):
the airline have gone through this so many times at
this point. The biggest point though, on the this concept
of potentially privatizing that which is now the Transportation security
is administration.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
If you wanted to do that, you might send in
somebody like oh, I don't know Elon Musk, who has
recent I don't know if you guys saw the reports
he was offering to pay the salaries.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, yeah, which isn't legal. That would be unprecedented.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Well, paying people to vote is also not legal.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Just yeah, but just saying, what if you did privatize,
make a new company, and now we hire everybody who
was once TSA and now Elon Musk has a security
Oh wait, hold on, he's making robots to guys.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh are you guys tired of TSA. It's me Elon
Musk from earlier. Welcome to x SA, so you know,
because he loves the x Uh. There's more to get to.
But I think for us one of the most important
things is to hear from you, fellow conspiracy realists. We
went a little long on this one. We want to
(23:08):
know your experience in an airport, We want to know
the lines. We think it's a grift. We think there's
a conspiracy afoot. We didn't even get time to talk
about how Uncle Sam is going full don Quixote swing
it at windmills. We have just paid we the US
government have just paid a French company one billion dollars
(23:30):
to stop building alternative energy, to stop building wind power
in the United States. And that probably ties into a
later story. We're going to have about a little bit
of oil money before we end. Guys, I'm not sure
how to ask this, but are you all eligible for conscription?
(23:53):
Are you all eligible for the draft under the new rules?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Well, I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I got a two more months.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, it's gonna be a weird summer.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Well, but that's the thing, though, there is historical precedent
for opening it up to even you know, well within
our age range under certain states of emergency. If I'm
not mistaken, they they opened it up to I think
up to forty three years old, are forty two?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Okay, and it's okay to smoke weed? Oh dight tight?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Okay, Well I have forty two, so I guess I'm yeah,
I guess I'm clear, But I did. I thought I
saw another example in a previous war of it being
brought and even further than that.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Sure, yeah, you know you got to you gotta find
the people where they're at. The Army has raised the
enlistment age, not the draft age. I'm being a little hyperbolic,
to forty two, which means that you can join up
right now. You guys. It's too late for me. It's
been too late for a few centuries. But it's uh,
(24:57):
it's year centuries. It's up to you. I mean, Matt,
You've got a couple of months if you want to,
if you want to do your bid. Uh. We're gonna
pause for a word from our sponsors. Everybody be safe
out there, and again tell us your airport stories will
return with more strange news.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
And we're back. Seriously, guys, how did that, like, genuinely,
how did that hit you when you saw that story
and you realize, oh wow, like I'm too old for
the military.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I was stoked man, I was really really excited to
be among that number.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I guess it's just just realizing how long we've been
walking around here forty something years. That's weird.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I know, tap, sir.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I am great with all of it. Y'all live in
my best life and my see you later.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's been great being your producer.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Thanks Dylan.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Oh, it's good to have feelings a year.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, well that's good. Let's talk then about the feelings
of this weird thing. That is an update to the
General mccastland saga that we talked about last time on
Strange News. There are a lot of updates. We're not
going to get to them all, but this one is
pretty fascinating to us. Here we go. This is from
(26:27):
the New York Post. Shane Glavin wrote it March fourteenth,
twenty twenty six. Possible X account of missing General William
mccastlin claimed fellow general was murdered over nuclear material. So
we're just going to go through this. We're going to
imagine that perhaps General mccaslan, who went missing on February
(26:49):
twenty seventh, had an X account and didn't state on
his X account. Hi, I'm General McCasland. But there was
a lot of information disclosed on that X account, like
some very high level physics stuff and some claims. You know,
you can put anything in a bio of an X account,
right right. This one in the bio claims to have
(27:11):
some credentials. So let's get into it. From the New
York Post article, McCaslin sixty eight went missing from his Albuquerque,
New Mexico home on February twenty seventh, which is the
last day that the person behind a highly credentialed X
account centered on spacecraft in advanced science made their last post.
So last post was made the day mccaslan went missing.
(27:33):
Timing is a little off, and we're going to get
into that. Let's continue here. This X account, TMB Spaceships,
claims to be run by a quote retired thirty eight
year active duty United States Air Force with a PhD
in engineering. They mentioned the Air Force Institute of Technology,
(27:54):
the Air Education Training Command, and the Air Force Material Command.
Both the AFIT and AFMC are located at Wright Patterson
Air Force Base, which we talked about last episode that
McCaslin was a huge deal there. From twenty eleven to
twenty thirteen. He was kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I would say he's kind of as far as generals go,
he's sort of a major general, a very modern model.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Of Yes, that's right. He also attended the Air War
College during his thirty four year career, which is a
part of the aetc. That we mentioned, their Air Education
Training Command. He also got a PhD in astronomical engineering
from MIT in nineteen eighty eight. So this account, again,
we highly recommend you go through it. It's still up
(28:44):
last time we checked. Again, Let's just mention warmer time,
TMB space ships. That is the at there. The account
claimed just a few months before mccaslan disappeared, that a general,
Major General John Rossi, who allegedly, according to the authorities,
(29:05):
committed suicide in twenty sixteen, says he was actually murdered
because of a refusal to hand over nuclear materials to
private contractors. Just quickly, a little backstory here. John Rossi,
the major general, was fifty five years old. He ended
his own life, according to The New York Post here,
(29:26):
just two days before receiving a third star and was
going to be handed the reins at the US Army
Space and Missile Defense Command.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So that's a court. The career is going upward. It's
not an upward yes, factory, Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Things are looking good. And that is according to the
Army Times. Army investigators who looked into it ruled his
he died by hanging. They ruled his death was due
to a quote severe lack of sleep and job anxiety,
which again, eh, feels weird to me. Strikes me as weird, right,
(30:02):
But who knows. We're all individuals. We all have things
going on in our lives that nobody else knows about.
That that is not proof of anything, right. The account
that we're talking about TMB Spaceship says, quote, I believe
General Rossi was killed because of an incident reported to
the Pentagon ig. The Inspector General that.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
He pentagram instagram the Pentagon inst sorry.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
No de penon ig and he put Inspector General in there,
maybe just to let us know that he would not
transfer nuclear weapons to private hands just months prior in
an attempted nuclear weapons theft from Fort Sill. This is
according to the Post. It continues General Rossy new Doe
that the Department of Energy takes all custody of nuclear weapons,
(30:50):
not private contractors. Right. The post concluded, we talked about
the DOE and the importance of like why that is
even in existence and largely due to nuclear weapons and
fistle materials and all of that good stuff, which means.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It's all so sketchy. Just say it. Yeah, it's also
very very sketchy.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Do you guys see a recent article about antimatter being
transferred by truck For the first time, my brain done broke.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
What shout out to truckers by the way, uh space truckers, Hey,
and the Department of Energy probably assuming yes, shout out
to the Department of Energy. Please guys, don't get us.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yeah, come on, come on, come on, be cool. So wait, wait,
there's more, guys. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Sort wait let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, So I did not know this. Do you remember
the John Podesta WikiLeaks email disclosures?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, that is when all of us found out, whether
we knew it or not, because whether we read them
or not, that John Podesta is the one that told
President Obama that Tom DeLong was hanging out with General McCaslin.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
There's a lot of stuff to unpacked there, guys, a
lot that's like the that's like the that's like the
quad amputee headline right there. We're going to need to
go through that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Guys. Also, I don't want to sow. I don't want
my background to come out too much. But don't snitch.
It's your job to snitch.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Tom DeLong from music, Yes, from the.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
One from Blee's the one.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Well, so let's just continue because we are now gosh,
it's now Wednesday, March twenty fifth, and General mccasle has
been missing since the twenty seventh of February. Uh. This
has written a little while back, this article, but there
was a little bit of an update that we we
kind of missed when we talked about this last week.
(32:55):
We talked about the last person to have physical interaction
with the General at his home on February twenty seventh
was this repair person that was at the house and
that was around ten am. But then his wife, Susan
had to leave for something like she left the house
around eleven o'clock am. But it wasn't mentioned and it
wasn't made clear. I guess in those previous articles that
(33:15):
Susan was in fact the last person to see him.
The General at eleven ten, and then by twelve oh
four when she returns, he's gone. I did not know this, guys.
The general's wife, Susan McCaslin, is also a retired government physicist,
a second lieutenant with the Air Force, and a former
(33:36):
military contractor employee. So I mean, that's not strange at all, Right,
folks in the military hanging out and you know, meeting
somebody else in the military, or somebody who shares a
lot of the same things having a romantic relationship. That's like,
that makes a ton of sense. It's just she is
also like she is up there and she maybe knows
(33:59):
some stuff and is highly intelligent as a physicist and
is on that same level. It does make me wonder.
I don't know, it just makes me wonder because everything
I've seen from General mccaslen's wife doesn't seem to be
like a lot of how would you put it, A
ton of concern at least outward public concern, right, who
(34:20):
knows what's going on behind closed doors and things, But
there's not a lot of outward Concernly, geez, where's my husband.
Let's find my dang husband right now. It's more like, oh,
the general's fine.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Well, yeah, and to that point, we know, especially folks
who function in that rarefied error, they have to be
pretty buttoned up in public statements, so those statements may
be curated. I really appreciate your point about how we
will never know the internal struggles of other people, right
(34:56):
unless they share those There's a made up word for it.
Most words are made up, right, which is saunder s
O N d er. I'm waxing to philosophic here, but Matt,
I know that we have all been keeping a close
eye on this story and really appreciate you bringing in
(35:18):
these updates because the more you look at it, the
curiouser and curiouser this disappearance becomes.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Oh yeah, and everything seems to link back in my
mind to some kind of space engagement. Nuclear weapons are
highly involved in here. There are rumors that there are
a lot of other disappearances and deaths of high level
government and science human beings that have been happening recently,
(35:49):
similar to the stuff we saw happening in Iran where
nuclear scientists were getting killed one by one usted yeah,
oh yeah, an accident here, a full on homicide. There's
there's just some weirdness occurring. I would recommend everybody, you know,
(36:11):
don't take it as word that TMB Spaceships is General McCaslin,
because we don't have that proof yet. But go through
some of the posts that were made on that x account.
There's one from December thirtieth, twenty twenty three, so a
while back, where there's a hand drawn picture of what
appears to be a UAP that you can find. It
(36:34):
looks fascinating, It's got almost a I don't know you
it looks it's not a rainbow, but it looks like
a trail of brilliant colors coming out of it. And
then it appears to be a small little white dot
with what's described as like dark space around it. And
then just just this person again. It could be it
(36:55):
could be some fifteen year old who's like really into
physics that is just trying to control everybody. Could be
General mccaslan, or it could be somebody else.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
You know, those fifteen their physics, well, I mean some
out there.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
It's very I'm just saying there's it says I saw
this in nineteen ninety eight from the cockpit of a
KC one thirty five, a cacod. It is the speci
physicity makes uh makes me wonder because this is a
refueling giant airplane that's like kind of like the ones
that you know, one that went down and then one
(37:30):
a couple others that got damaged to big news about
all that stuff. But he was like, it's one of those,
and he saw this crazy thing, and then he posts
about the helium ionizer in it. I want to see
the helium ionizer, you know, I I ionized helium to
h E plus five or plus six states. And then
there are folks, there are other folks from official accounts
in the physics space going what the heck? How did
(37:51):
you get helium above plus two? And all this other stuff?
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Show your work? What's the building in there?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
But then he goes through, just whoever it is goes
through and make very specific claims about specific fields within
physics and things that are not not being looked at.
I think in popular science as what's possible?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
So I mean, okay, so at the very least we
can say this account on Twitter n X is a
very good impressionist of the of what we know about
the major general we do have to ask raft ask guys,
what do we think is he dead? Is the X field?
(38:35):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean? I don't know. It's curious that the last
thing that was posted on that X account this is
what is February twenty seventh, at one eight pm generate
small local field, high voltage gap geometrically placed, allowing sustained
dwell time in gap. Who knows what the f that means?
(39:00):
It was in relation to a couple other weird posts.
He was often replying to other physics posts or news posts,
sometimes getting a little salty. It's very interesting to see
the timing is what weirds me out, you guys, Okay,
I didn't think about this last episode. I was talking
with my partner about it. Monica Reza Jacinto that we
talked about went missing on June twenty second, twenty twenty five.
(39:23):
Right the twelve day war between Israel and Iran was
between the thirteenth and the twenty fourth of June. Who
knows that means nothing?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Who probably not related at all? But then McCaslin goes
missing on February twenty seventh. Does anyone else remember anything
notable happening on February twenty seventh? That day, at three
thirty eight pm Eastern Standard time, while a board Air
Force One, President Trump ordered the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I was going to say it was my ex girlfriend's birthday,
but yeah, both of those things happened on the twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Nice congratulations to you. You so and so pointed to
you through the camera that you won't see. But the
the it is weird to me that you can tie
it's it doesn't work out perfectly right, So it's again
it's like just who knows, and it means nothing. It
(40:21):
is still strange to me that those two major escalations
of war with Iran coincide with these things. After we know,
we are fairly certain, no, we have a strong feeling
that there were agents from other countries operating in Iran
to take out their nuclear scientists.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
And I'm hooked on a feeling. Yeah, yeah, I agree
with you.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, that's so. It feels as though General McCaslin, in
my mind, no, something's coming and took off unless he
was yeah, unless he was taken out. I feel like
somebody who has been in the military that long feels
a true sense of patriotism that is beyond a lot
(41:16):
of the bs, that is put out there as propaganda
or as party unification kind of stuff, trying to get
everybody raw raw for one thing. Feels somebody like that
sees America as an idea or concept and something that
is potentially beautiful but has a ton of flaws. And
I feel like if somebody like that knew something was
(41:36):
coming that was going to be horrific, you know, like, uh,
doctor like Manhattan, doctor Manhattan, is that his name or
mister Manhattan from the book, is something to that level
that was on the way. I feel like he would
want to I feel like he would not want that
to happen again. It just depends on we can be
(41:58):
We can all be convinced of a great many things.
Wha could do things, And it just makes you wonder
if somebody like that could be convinced that was a
good idea, or if they would want to try and
stop it or fight back or tell somebody.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Or get gut. Uh. Yeah. The The issue is to
put it in comparison or an analogy. We have a
bunch of interesting puzzle pieces that appear as though they
should not fit, but do indeed fit quite snugly together.
The issue is we are not lucky enough to have
(42:34):
the full picture of what the completed puzzle looks like.
So we're guessing we're we're the where the old we're
the old story of the mice trying to figure out
an elephant. You know, do you guys remember that one?
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Yes, well, the because they can only say it a
little at a time.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah, is it a snake? Is it a treat? Yeah?
It might be an elephant. Yeah, Well, I think there's
another conspiracy foot.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
There's a ton going on. There's also news. It's not
related at all, but look up X fifty nine. We
obsess on the show about the X thirty seven B,
and we don't know about the other ex planes, but
this is a NASA X plane that is making the
news and people are talking about even NASA's posting about it.
Space dot com is all about it. X fifty nine
(43:24):
a quiet supersonic jet that looks crazy long and very cool.
The whole idea behind it. You can look all this
up on your own. It's super neat, but the whole
point of it is to achieve supersonic flight, but do
it quiet so that eventually, maybe at least according to
what they're writing, eventually maybe we'll get to write in
(43:46):
super quiet supersonic jets that will get us from New
York to California in mere minutes.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Guys, we're doing this for everyone, not just for ourselves.
Also check out our upcoming episode on Russia's super weapons.
And I can't leave this joke behind that newest X
model you're talking about, Matt, I would say it looks awesome,
It looks NASA tea.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Yes, it was developed by skunk Works at Lockheed Martin. Everybody,
it was built by them, Sorry, NASA, NASA like had
the ideas and then skunk Works built it.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Ben, what was that commercial that briefly that the short
lived commercial airline situation that involves supersonic jets we talked
about on Concord The Concord that is a thing many
people might not be aware of. I certainly wasn't, but
that there was a brief time where you could fly
on a supersonic jet commercially.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
Yeah, and I am not qualified to fly those. So
let's make sure that if we get in a situation,
we're at a local, kind of off the books airport
with a small engine craft.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
There you go, oh yeah, civilian supersonic flights have been
prohibited over the United States since nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
Boo, I lost that one.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
But yeah, but NASA has this new thing called quest
Quiet Supersonic Technology. It's their mission to make it.
Speaker 4 (45:15):
So, right, that's it. Wait a minute. If that's the case,
how are the concords able to because they were it
was they were notoriously noisy when they would break the
sound barrier.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Not anymore. Yeah, they're still there. They may come back, but.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
I'm just saying that was well past the seventies when
that when that program existed.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Right, they were landing in New York. They were primarily
a European that's really thank you.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
Correct, there you go, So they would be breaking the
sound barrier an international air.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
Space, I guess anyway, X fifty nine, X fifty nine
look it up. They just finished their second flight, which
didn't go well because of glitch, so they didn't really
finish it, but they started it and then they landed again.
Y all right, that's it. We'll be right back afterword
from our sponsors.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
And we've returned with our last Strange news segment for
two days. Episode teased a couple of things here. Should
I lead off with the serious or the silly uh,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
You and I have both been following the the serious one.
Let's do you know, let's let's let's do that when
I'm interested in your thoughts.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Well, I mean, it's just another example or suspicion, folks
you know in the know, pointing to potential market manipulation
by the President through his use of his social media
platform that he also owns, truth Social. We've had numerous
situations where the stock market took a tumble, and then
(46:54):
we've heard tell of some very high level traders buying
the dip, potentially with prior knowledge to these event shaking
statements from the president. When you're somebody like that and
you're speaking to what his own mouthpiece calls policy from
(47:16):
the horse's mouth, that can actually change events, change perceptions,
which can of course shift markets. What we are seeing
now is a lot of evidence pointing to insider trading
around oil futures. When Trump recently made a post on
truth Social citing talks with the Iranian government going quite well,
(47:43):
leading to a potential ceasefire, a winding down of the
war effort in Iran. We saw the price of oil drop,
but just fifteen minutes prior to his release of that truth,
which is ironic. It's some very nineteen eighty four Ministry
(48:04):
of Truth type stuff. We saw some serious trading going
on in the oil futures market, Ben, I'll throw to
you on that man.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
What did you see?
Speaker 4 (48:15):
There was a handful of traders. Some of this had
to do with polymarket as well, if I'm not mistaken,
which is another crazy thing we've been seeing that shouldn't
be as unregulated as it is, and also has serious
ties to the Trump family because his son sits on
the board of this particular betting thing. But they're saying
it's not betting because it's futures, but it's also clearly betting.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Yeah, so here's the skinny folks. In the early hours
of March twenty second, again we're recording. On March twenty fifth,
the Financial Times reported that unidentified people had placed what
we'll pull huge one way bet on follied oil prices.
(48:58):
To your point, Noal, just a few minutes before the
President of the United States publicly announced, Hey, we're not
gonna We're not actually going to strike ironium power plants.
We've had productive conversations, so it looks like something around
six thousand, two hundred Brent and West Texas intermediate contracts
(49:24):
changed hands right in this Goldilock zone between six forty
nine and six point fifty am New York Times, So
it's about fifteen minutes, right, Like you said before that
social media post by again the President of the United States,
this position, without getting into the weeds of stocks or
(49:46):
stock market sorcery, this position was something to the tune
of five hundred and eighty million dollars. Guys, we need
to be in the room. You know. I know we're
not fans big government, but can we send Dylan to
just sit in the room and text us that'd be cool?
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Yeah, good, good, good to have a man on the inside.
And that's correct. Been that aspect of it, one hundred percent.
We also see as of Wednesday three hundred and fifty
five live predictions on polymarket linked to outcomes in the war,
such as the identity of the next leader of Iran,
the date of a US Iran nuclear deal, and when
(50:27):
Iran will launch military action against Israel. We saw, of course,
the polymarket controversy surround the surrounding the abduction of Venezuelan
President Nicholas Madura which had some very hinky timing, let's
just say, in terms of big payouts for that kind
of stuff. So it's real problematic not to mention the
fact that the Iranian spokes folks are saying that these
(50:51):
talks didn't take place.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
They say, the US is negotiating against itself, and I
want to give the flowers there when they're deserved. Spoke
spoke folks, spokes folks, I like that one.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
It's fun to say, thanks, Ben. We are seeing them
referring to more high level negotiations involving intermediaries, and you know,
it's not the first time we've seen this president. Let's
just say, bend the truth, and let's just go even
just a couple of steps further and just say outright lie.
And we also know that a big part of his
(51:27):
technique for rhetoric and for business and for doing deals
is to just repeat the lie enough times to where
it becomes the truth. Therefore, the irony of the whole
truth dot com of it all. We also saw a
recent controversy surrounding him saying that he spoke to a
living US president who told him that he wished he
(51:49):
had done what Trump is doing in Iran, after which
we then saw comments from AIDS for all of the
living US presidents saying no such conversation place.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
So, okay, I never thought it would be in this position,
but I'm going to say it. Especially when you are elderly,
you run into people who look like a lot of
people that you have met in the past. So it
is possible that maybe there was a great conversation with
someone who looked like Bill Clinton or someone who looked
(52:22):
like a bush. Yeah, I talked to him.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
He did refer to Goblin Newsom as being the President
of the United States as well. In a recent Time.
Speaker 3 (52:32):
Energy shout out to Tim Apple for.
Speaker 4 (52:34):
Sure, Tim Apple out to Tommy Appleseed.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Can I bring something into this? Nold must of course
it's on the polymarket side. I was reading in Al
Jazeera from me, okay, can we talk about the weird
stuff that happened with the Iran strikes on February twenty eight?
Absolutely to me, So that to me is the weirdest thing.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
It's all wack.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
It was this person named Andrew ten Gwei, who appears
to be an analyst, was talking with Al Jazeera and
said he had discovered that there were thirty eight accounts
that are believed to be owned by a single entity,
either a person or a group. Thirty eight accounts that
(53:25):
netted more than two million dollars betting correctly on the
Iran strikes on February twenty eighth. And furthermore, the accounts,
each one of them placed anywhere between four and ten
bets with a nearly one hundred percent success rate. And
this person who's an investigator of sorts, found that these
(53:48):
accounts began preparing cryptocurrency transfers on the twenty second of
February before the bets were placed on the twenty seventh,
as though whoever is in control of these accounts was alerted, Hey,
the strikes are going to happen.
Speaker 4 (54:03):
And I think I think the person that you're referring to, Ben,
I'm sorry, Matt, might also be the same guy that
identified a practice called wallet splitting that is a technique
used to mask uh suspicious transactions. It is a practice
involving dividing up bets among a series of accounts, quoting
(54:24):
straight from the Al Jazeera piece to avoid detection, or
opening multiple wallets to place a new bet. And that's
from Ben York, a former research analyst that the delightfully
named Coen Telegraph Consulting. Yeah, about the founder of star Child,
a platform that lets users develop personal artificial intelligence agents,
which is something we've been talking about rec too. This
piece is by Aaron Hale over at Al Jazeera, and
(54:47):
some really excellent information in that and that, for sure,
I would love to just really quickly point to another piece.
Let's see about the volume of the trade volume in
stock and oil future surged minutes before Trump's market turning post.
I think you may have already said this, but I'm
just going to put a little more meat on the bones.
(55:08):
Around six fifty am in New York s and P
five hundred e many futures trading on the CMA recorded
a sharp and isolated jump in volume. Similar pattern was
observed in oil markets. Roughly fifteen minutes later, at seven
oh five am, Trump posted the market moving announcement about
Iran on true Social.
Speaker 2 (55:26):
I just.
Speaker 4 (55:28):
The degree to which he's able to just do this
stuff unilaterally that clearly move the needle in very very
real ways based on his whims, it just feels wrong.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
And for the record, everybody, lest you think we are
throwing stones from a glass House. Please remember that even
in our lowly positions as cogs in a big corporate machine,
every year we have to we personally have to take
a very strange training course about insider trading. And I
(56:06):
don't know about you guys, but it always reminds me
about how much money none of us have, you know,
And what's hypothetical. It's like, uh, it's like, oh, you
are over in Nairobi and you are hanging out with
the uh, you know, the attache to a third party
(56:26):
government and they say that if you do blah blah blah,
they'll give you ten thousand dollars and you can you know, uh,
you can walk away tax free. What's the right choice?
Speaker 4 (56:38):
Well, and just how so much of this stuff is
about decorum, is about behaving yourself, following the rules, unwritten rules,
unwritten rules, and also, you know, and not to be
too nihilistic about it, but I don't see any consequences
coming down the pike for stuff like this. It's just
(57:00):
it's so unremarkable. It's remarkable how unremarkable it is.
Speaker 3 (57:06):
You know. It's uh, you know, one of the things
that always gets bipartisan support in US Congress, shutting down
any law against or any move to ban insider trading
in Congress. Maybe Bernie Sanders is saying we should keep
(57:27):
things honest and be treated like the rest of the
United States. But right now there's something called the Restore
Trust in Congress Act that is supposed to address these
kind of shenanigans at this level of government. But to
to your to what you're saying there, no, and it's
what our journalists are saying here. That is not going
(57:50):
to stop what's happening with the executive branch.
Speaker 2 (57:56):
And there's no way that passes, right Ben.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
You're correct. I mean it's going to be it's going
to be over there with the Stop Insider Trading Act,
which the current administration mentioned in a State of the
Union address. But no, it's not going to be fixed.
These people are in the cat bird seat. You're asking
them to climb down from the coolest seat.
Speaker 4 (58:21):
How no you t And also just to point out
to you, we know that this happens on both sides,
and we are not picking on one side or the other. Uh.
There have been examples and accusations for Democrats doing the
same kind of insider trading crap.
Speaker 5 (58:34):
And it's yes, yes, sorry, I had a guys, there's
a lot of bless you and God bless America.
Speaker 2 (58:45):
Guys. I would encourage I would encourage all of us
to consider joining hundreds of our colleagues and making a
voluntary contribution through automatic payroll deduction, because broad employee and
participation in the pack strengthens our ability to age constructively.
What I'm just saying, you could just contribute to a
pack and then you your voice would be heard through
(59:08):
the pack. Right, That's how that's how it works, the transfer.
Speaker 3 (59:12):
We folks, we are recording remotely, so I cannot run
across this table and push Matt Frederick. I know what
you're reading from this is uh, but this is this
is a real problem, right, going back to the story
originally reporting here Nol. First off, oil futures are a
(59:33):
really weird thing. They're not always good for the people
who actually use fossile fuels. But secondly, come on, man,
the emperor has no clothes. This is clearly a grift.
This is not a lucky guess.
Speaker 4 (59:48):
No, no, And that's the thing. It's just so it's
so brazen, and that's the point. At this point, there's
not even any attempt made to even hide this kind
of stuff and it's just real depressing. So can we
move on to the silly one real quick? To wrap
up with the silly one?
Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
Yeah, let's end on a positive note. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I don't know it's positive exactly, it is.
Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
It's positive.
Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
It's something. We got a rogue employee at the Department
of Health and Human Services who changed the voice the
outgoing voicemail for the Department UH to a Domino's Pizza recording.
An employee and the Department of Health and Human Services
change the agency's automated phone greading to a Domino's Pizza message.
(01:00:31):
On Tuesday, following a surge of protest calls from activists
demanding funding cuts, UH white Coat Waiste Project rallied supporters
to call HHS demanding officials cut funding for cat testing
at a University of Missouri lab while accusing the National
Institute of Health of approving a one hundred and twenty
six million dollars allotment for beagle experiments like Beagle Like.
Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
The Dog, Beagle Like the Dog.
Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Yeah. At a Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
hearing on Wednesday, Justin Goodman denounced the prank, prompting Senator
Joni Ernst to reply that the voicemail was not okay
and actually makes my stomach turn. HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon
stated the voicemail was an unauthorized action by a rogue
employee and not representative of HHS, and confirmed the phone
(01:01:21):
line has returned to normal operations.
Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
Makes my stomach turn, though, that's very anti Domino makes
my stomach gru grumble.
Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Give me that pizza.
Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
I mean, but what if it was my guy? What
if it was a different pizza chade? Would you still
be so upset? What if it was one of the
good ones? Well?
Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
Hey, can I just say something recently? At a karate party, Okay,
it sounds like he.
Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Does does go to karate party.
Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
On a karate pizza party, a karate and pizza party.
Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
I think I think there's a thread here.
Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Look a full disclosure. It was a black belt ceremony
after party, and I ordered for this party as by
the request of the organization, a bunch of Domino's pizza.
I have not tasted a Domino's pepperoni pizza in nine
ten years. Okay, I tried one at this party and
(01:02:18):
I was pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Whoa, what were you expecting? Did you, like bo Burnham level,
lower your expectations and then get suppressed like positive expectations. Yes,
this this is a true thing, but I would advance
to you guys that this is also Discordian level safe activism. Right,
(01:02:45):
just jammed the system a little bit. You know, whomever
wrote the manual, the Field Manual of Simple Sabotage, would
absolutely agree with this. If you are in control of
the of the telephone comms, why not just change the
message and then disavow all knowledge of that right blames
(01:03:11):
Blame Dominoes. I'm putting that in the description for our
strange news. Jeez, okay, yeah, sorry dominos he caught astray
on this one.
Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
Can I say Dominoes has a new prop product that's
almost like in the style of a Detroit pizza with
the cheese crown around the edges, and it's really good.
What Yeah, yeah, we should.
Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
Have conspiracy pizza.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Parties sponsor us SPON sponsor.
Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
We definitely should. A federal health agency run by one
of America's most prominent critics of institutional medicine just deflected
citizen complaints by redirecting them to a pizza chain's voicemail,
International Business Times reporter Chelsea and the pizza Pizza said sorry.
The Department of Health and Human Services by Secretary Robert F.
(01:04:03):
Kennedy confirmed on nineteen March twenty twenty six, and an
unnamed staff member at altered and official fund line to
Greed incoming college with thank you for calling Domino's Pizza?
Can you please hold thank you? Can I just say,
y'all seems like a pretty innocuous prank.
Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Yeah, I think we're all on board with that.
Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
Hill pretty chill and goofy and silly in fun. And
you know it's not chilling, goofy and sillyent fun animal experiments.
Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Well, yes, that is that is correct. You could also
say that the over three hundred and twenty million people
living in the United States are being subjected to animal
experiments right now. Yeah, and again, we love Discordianism, We
love the fun, the fun prankster forms of protest, and
(01:04:50):
we would love to hear your examples.
Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
We also know that RFK Junior has a history of
animal experiments. On a personal level, did you see the
thing that just came out recently, some sort of diary injury.
We talked about how he stopped the family car to
get out and cut off the penis of a roadkill
raccoon so that he could quote unquote study it later.
Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
I mean, you get in situations.
Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Okay, well we weren't there.
Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Have you a raccoon penis?
Speaker 4 (01:05:23):
He probably wanted to grind it up and turn into
a supper.
Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Why am I going so hard on defending this guy.
I've never better. Okay, So the whale, the bear, the raccoon,
not all penises though.
Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Can you just imagine stop stop stop, stop the car,
stop the car. Science watch him run out with his
hunting knife that he just has, and he.
Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
He just has it. It's his leathern.
Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Guys, the worm tells you to do certain things.
Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
It does.
Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Thank you in the wild, and he needed it.
Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
It happened to be attached to her record, so it
had to be drawn out the record. We are, of course,
referring to the parasitic encounters that RFK Junior has confirmed
he had in the past. We are not referring to
the famous NBA player of old Dennis the Worm Rodman,
(01:06:28):
or maybe.
Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
Or the the breakdancing move the Worm, which is a
fun one. And also it's it's entirely possible that the
worm whispers are what caused r f K Junior to
work out in jeans well, because why else would you
do that? It's an odd.
Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Choice in situations. Not everybody owns more than one pair
of trousers.
Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
I think, look just on the jeens workout tip. Guys,
there's a there's a gym right around the corner over there,
and I am constantly in there after we record or
before we recording. Guess what I'm wearing.
Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
Don't do it, Matt, don't be Canadian tuxedo? Gee? Why
want better for you?
Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
My next guest was a hot dog costume.
Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Sometimes sometimes sometidays.
Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Awesome, sometimes on Thursdays, Noel, what else? Do we got
any final thoughts on this? Before we wrap.
Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
