Speaker 1 (00:01):
Come on, let's hope you had a great weekend. Welcome
back morning studio morning. Let's go around the room. Our
video producer Readie is at first, Eddie, good morning, Good morning.
She got so a few weeks ago, I guess I

(00:23):
brought to the table that my son wanted to watch
Outer Banks. He's fifteen years old, and I was like,
I don't know, guys, I remember seeing the first season
a lot of bad words, maybe some teenage you know,
like stuff adult stuff happening with teenagers. I was like,
I don't, I don't know give my sense of watch
should watch it? And you, guys, A, no, No, he
totally should. I think he's old enough. So I'm the
cool parent. I let him watch it. Did you watch

(00:44):
it with him? No? No? And I made him go
into my bedroom like, hey, you can use the TV
in my bedroom, watch the show on your own. And
every time I'd walk in my all I heard was
F bombs, F bombs this, And he's like sitting there
with popcorn on my bed watching and I had to
bite my tongue so many times and be like, oh,
like you should not be listening to this stuff on TV,
Like I don't want you don't repeat any of these words.

(01:05):
But I didn't. I was cool. It's fifteen, right, Yes,
I don't just think he hears that all the time
at school fifty times more than what he's saying on
people at school, not my home, not my house, so
no TV shows can say it at all. Well, I'm
not just aspecting your role. I'm just asking kind of
the logic behind it. I just for me to allow
him to watch a TV show that's f this f that.
I'm like, I'm allowing him to do that at school.

(01:27):
Those are what that's what kids are doing. That's up
to him. I think it's a completely fair role. You're
the dad. You get to make the rules, and I
would understand if you're young kids you didn't let them
see it at all. But fifteen just seems like but
he can almost drive? Yeah, does he hear you say
during a sporting game? Like I don't say during almost
he almost can get a driver's license and then drive
somewhere and hear people say it. I know, but guys
were past that. Now he watched the show. He watched

(01:49):
all three seasons in like probably worse off either, I
don't know, I don't know what now he's probably in
school now. He's probably the one cursing at school. And
you know what that show is, baby, because everybody does
it ever has a face. He's got to get through it.
All right, thank you, Eddie. All right here he is
Nextlla La la lusboll Bobby. I'm coming to you. I
need some help because last week you were talking about
a work trip to Las Vegas, which is right, there's

(02:10):
no work trip. That's not a work trip, no no,
but I need you to present it as a work trip.
Let me, Ray said, as far our listeners. So Ray
is going to Vegas to watch Sam hunt his wife.
Can I go now? Because their cat's injured and so
Ray's gonna buy himself. Well, I call one of my
management team and I go, hey, can we because Sam
and I have the same management company, And I say,
can we get Ray backstage passes in better seats? He

(02:31):
says yes we can, So Rays all pupped up, then
all sa lasch parts, I'll go, backstage passes and tickets.
I'll go. So that's a fun trip for you guys.
It is not a work trip. Well, because I presented
it to my wife and she's a little iffy if
it's a work trip. It is not a work trip.
That Just listen and see if you can help me
convince her. Okay, go ahead, I think I have to
go to Vegas. You're real, Sam Hun's having a concert.

(02:55):
Ray is going and by and go, so I gotta go.
So this is like for fun not for work. No, No,
it's for work, like work. He bought tickets, but then
they got him upgraded seats and backstage passes. I'm going
to you know, because Ray. No, I'm gonna be alone,
and then I need to I need to supervise Ray
to make sure he wouldn't get too drunk when he

(03:16):
does the meet and greet. Sam hunts. It's not a
word thing. Here me thinking like it was a work
thing and work it was like sending you to do this,
and now it's a fun thing. No working trip. Work
is sending. There's a hotel withnam everything. He's paying for
that hotel work, I think, no to me, So just

(03:37):
a heads up, put it on the calendar. Okay, we're cool. Nope, bye,
works not made for the hotel. Ray is already paid
for it himself personal money. That's not a work trip.
You're not going, Bud I need you to like work
just saying this is a work trip and I'll play
that little section of the clip. Ye yeah, yeah, not

(03:57):
a work trip. Ray, there's no chance of wiping go
maybe one percent. And also the second lunch box limits
my drinking and gambling. That's when we're gonna have a problem. Okay,
Gray said, Zero said, now it's back up the one
for the I don't have a thing. Here's everybody here. Okay.

(04:23):
So I was having to teach this to my daughter,
and the made me wonder if you guys know this.
You're out of store and say there's a sale of something,
it's like, you know, ten yogurts for ten dollars. You're like, wow,
if I get ten, then it's only a dollar or
a yogurt, right, are you following? Yeah? I just think
there are a dollar each, the other a dollar each.

(04:43):
Oh you know, Okay, we're not dumb. I think we're
the I mean, we are idiots, but do you think
we're the most idiotic? Hey, I don't know. I could
totally see all being like, well, we gotta buy ten
if dollars. I really think that we would think that
or who? No, I really did all of y'all. Do
you know what, Eddie, That's why they do it because

(05:04):
people fall for this. So there aren't people out there
they're like, I have to get the ten of them.
We were all insulted by are doing that, but we
do way super stuff. But this one we knew, right guys. Now, okay, yeah,
I'm impressed. But for anybody else out there, you still
get it for a dollar even if you buy one.
So you're telling me if it's two for five, I
can get one for two fifty. Yes, wow, did you

(05:25):
know that? Yes? Okay, never mind from Mountain Pine, Arkansas Golf.
He strives for better than par and you'll never find
him at the bar, Bobby Bones, thank you. Okay, I'm
sletting my dumm gonna be playing in a pickleball tournament
in May. Let the training begin? What where here? Who
puts it on? Well? I don't think. I don't think

(05:46):
it's official yet, like officially I've announced it, but I've
been playing a little bit and so now I'm ready
to die in the tournament played. Oh boy? So, so
how did you quit your partner? Or is it individual?
It's individuals? Is it against other celebrities? Is a celebrity
tournament or is it like both? It's like celebs and professionals.

(06:07):
I can't say too much about it, but just know
that when my when I am in like walking into
pickleball pants and you know, pickle hats, it's I can't. Hey,
we do golf tournaments, right, you know what's the difference.
I went to the mall. They had a pickaball call
in the mall the other day, and they're playing in
the mall at random families. Oh no, did you jump in? No?
But I would have either one an open spot. I
would have jumped in. But now, Ray start training from

(06:28):
a pickball tournament. May is this something where you could
actually be a champion? Yeah, let's go. Okay, I think
I think Dark is playing in it too. I played
against the darks Bobble. He's good, he's supposed to be ok.
He ain't played me yet, but I haven't played anybody
real good. I played Morgan Evans a little bit. He's
really good. He beat me three to two, three games
to two. But I hadn't played much. Yeah, it's that

(06:48):
the story where you're bleeding. No, that was different, a
different game. Pickleball tournament. I'm now mister pickleball. Wow, you
refer to me as that, mister pickleball. Yeah, I don't
feel like it me pickle okay, hey, pickle, all right,
let's get going to show you time for the mail
bag something. Hello. Bobby bonees my ten year olds from

(07:15):
begging me to let him watch The Last of Us
on HBO. All of his friends have watched it, he says,
he's the only one who hasn't. I don't like to
let him watch or play video games with a lot
of language and violence. I did not even let him
play this video game because it was rated M for mature.
My husband thinks I'm being overprotective and that he's probably
exposed to worse at school without us knowing. I say,

(07:38):
you can watch anything with a mature rating when he's fifteen.
Right now he's ten. I'm out of touch our kids
watching this stuff now. Signed obviously over protective mom. Hey,
may you go first? Hollo is the kid again? Ten? Okay?
I will. I cannot let my son watch it. He's twelve,

(07:58):
You freak him out. But my daughter at twelve, she
was a different She was different than him, so I
would have let her. She can definitely watch it. Now
she's fifteen. I don't think it's shows that bad. I
don't remember language. The only thing freaky to me is
the zombie like how they look. It's more so not scary,
it's just disgusting. There's some jump scares, there's the occasional

(08:20):
bad word. Oh really, I must miss those. But I
hear what you're saying that not every kid should be
defined just by his age, also by their attitude and maturity.
A ten year old in this house maybe a little
more mature than a ten year old in the other house. Exactly, Eddie. Yeah,
I don't like that she labeled herself as an overprotective

(08:40):
parent or what her mother whatever. Like it just it's
whatever she feels. I think ten is too young. M
you show no. But then how are you saying this,
because because I mean, it's a it's gory, it's what. Yeah,
and for mature the video game guys, Oh that's that's
a video game. Okay. I still think ten is too young.

(09:01):
I struggle with this all the time. I want my
kids to see certain movies Forrest Gumps one, I want
all my family to watch Forrest Gump, but they are
parts in there that aren't good. And they're not right
for that yet. Wait, wait what kids? I can't watch
Forest Gump my nine year old? Are you kidding? Oh? Man,
there's a lot of stuff with Jenny. He's falling in
love with Jenny, and there's stuff with Jenny and her dad. Like,
there's just stuff that you know. I didn't even get
that though when I was young. I didn't understand what

(09:22):
that meant. It wasn't Black kids are different, man, they
get everything I didn't either. Bones I watch those movies
and I'm like, oh, that's cool, And I can't believe
you don't let your nine year old watch Forrest Gump,
the most wholesome American movie of all time. I was
watching Pretty Woman at nine, and I did not know
what she no, but I didn't put together that that's
what her job was. I just thought it telling. Kids

(09:44):
are smarter these days, they know what's going on. If
they're smarter, they already know what's going on. And that's
not that bad. But I don't want to watch it
with them. But oh, it's a chance to talk to
your kids. What's funny, too, is my parents they won't
watch rated our movies with me still, And I'm like,
forty four years later. So that's why this is just
your parents thing. I shouldn't have said that, this is it. Okay,
this is your parents, right, you're your parents. Did you

(10:06):
feel like your parents were out of touch when you
were young? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, but you're your parents now.
But my parents didn't even know what I was watching
when I was young. I watch whatever I want it,
saying bro, yeah I'm on it. No no, no, no,
I assure you they're watching stuff you don't know, dude.
There's two two authentic code factor, whatever it's called. Don't
have to be at home. Hey, I get a buzz
on my phone when they be at home. Doesn't have
to be on their I've had no when they're not

(10:27):
at home there at school exactly. You think everything happening
at schools. You're telling me they're watching movies at school.
I'm telling you they could be doing whatever they want school. Oh,
this is not good. When you tell your kids no
on that, do you just tell them know or do
you give them a why? I'm not ready for that yet. Okay,
but that's pretty generic. Yeah, and it works though. They're
kind of just like, all right, I don't think I'm
ready for that yet cool and they just listen like that, Yeah,

(10:48):
they do, so then they go watch somewhere else. You're
probably right. They're like, no problem that, You're right. I'm
gonna say to you. Obviously over protective mom Amy said
it best. I think all ages is should be treated differently, relate,
you know, related to how mature they are. I don't
think every ten year old's the same. Ten seems a
bit young on the younger side, honestly for this. But

(11:11):
if you have a super smart, mature ten year old
who's watching scary movies, I don't think it's that big
of a jump to watch this show. It's not like
a bad, dirty show, which is zombies. Yeah, but ten's
probably a little young, Yes, unless you have a ten
year old that you trust, so he's ain't take anything
from it that he didn't already know. But it is awesome.
Have you played the video game? Yeah, okay, I want

(11:31):
to play games like that. I'll play two games Bad Football,
NBA two K basketball, and then have a fishing game
that I don't really ever play. Oh man, I never
cut a single thing. I don't there's any fishing in
the water. And I was found to clothe buzz in.

maybe one was one kid and one was the other
one was the other kid. I don't know their names,

Paul Gossler for eleven Yeah that cute up yeah, or

(20:25):
Mario Lopez. I was ready for that again. Eddie, Congratulations,
you are the winner. It's time for the good news.
This one's for all the contractors out there. It's going
to inspire you. JT's Building and Construction responded to a
normal call, like a price quote, like hey, our dad

(20:47):
just had to have knee surgery again. We need a
wheelchair ramp. As a Peeves happened, suddenly it's like, yeah,
no problem, I can come out there. When he met
the family, realized the situation, and it always happening so fast,
he built it. And then when they're like, hey, we're
gonna pay you, he's like, you know what, no charge,
refused their money, said there's no cost. He just wanted
to help the family out. And here they are talking

(21:09):
about it. They called him out fifty contractors and three
of them got back with me, and one of which
was Jerry with GT Buildings. There was no cost. It
came to the point where it was minimal dollars and
it was a good gesture of them. So I just
felt I had to do for one man helping another
man in need, and who would need a lot more

(21:29):
of than this world. It's a cold, cruel world and
there's a lot of negativity out there. The most surprising
part the contractor got it done in time when he
said he would do it. Yeah, that's shock that never happened.
Is that guy, don't have it? Yeah's it done? April's
it really done? November the next year. Good for him.
We love stories where people help out when they don't
have to. That's awesome. That is what it's all about.

(21:52):
That was tell me something good. It's signed for another
round of good Parents, Bad Parents today. It's Amy, Amy,
what's up? Well? So my son is really into frosted
flakes right now, the flaky things with the sugar. I
never that's not my I didn't eat those when I
was a kid. I don't get it. I'm like, oh,

(22:14):
so he wants them often, and I have to say
cereals and easy breakfast, and sometimes you're just like, okay, y'all, fine,
go for it, because then you don't have to worry
about anything else. So I just started mixing in this
cereal that has no sugar. It just looks like the flake,
same little flicky look, that's higher in fiber and has
other vitamins and minerals that are weaved into it. And

(22:35):
I got the cereal, I dumped it out, put it
in a bowl, tossed it to where it mixed up
really good. And I have it in there and he's
eating it. That's awesome. So now it's whatever he was
gonna eat. It's half the sugar or whatever. You could
also do that because I did that with Sunny Delight
as a kid. I loved it so much. I figured
that if you take an empty Sunny the Light bottle,

(22:56):
you dump half in there, you have the other half,
and then you feel the rest of water, shake it up.
It tastes mostly like Sunny the Lie and you had
it for double the time. So you can also save
money by getting a cheaper cereal and doing that. What
do you feel guilty about that? Virtually is high fiber
and vitamin A cereals a little bit more. But why
do you feel guilty about that? Or do you not?
I don't know that I feel guilty about it. I

(23:18):
guess it's just that I I'm not telling him, so
it feels all the lying interception. Yeah, no I'm not.
I'm not even lying though, I'm just not saying anything. Yeah,
it's like your cereals in the container. It is what
it is. My wife does this with onions. I told
you I hate onions. I don't want anything to do
with onions. And I'm sure if you went to your
son and said, hey, we got this high fiber cereal.
It taste a lot like yours. He would go no,

(23:40):
But when he doesn't know it's fine, I tell I
don't like onions, don't put him in anything. She's like,
you got it, okay, buddy, And then all of a
sudden eight a mill. I was like, man, that was great.
She was like, I guess there was no way. There
were tiny, tiny onions that I grinded up for all
small and there it made it taste. Oh, I didn't
like it as much immediately. I didn't like it as
much right after that, So I'm all for it. I

(24:00):
think it's actually a great parent. Okay, good, it's a
good little hack Eddie, great parent. I love it. If
I can find little things that look like cinnamon toastcrunch
to add in there that's not cinnamon toastcrunch, I'd do it.
Your kids love that. They just love cinnamon toast. Who
doesn't love cinamono? But I can't find a flake that
looks like that. Maybe you could sprinkle in that Catalina
crunch that's cinnamon toast. Let's go see, And I would
do that in a heartbeat. Yeah, that has no sugar.

(24:22):
Love it? Ye? Lunchbox. I think you're a great parent.
Lying to your kids is what we do. That's what parents.
That lying. Yeah, that is parenting is lying. You tell
your kids everything that is not true because you need
them to do something like we used to be told,
if you sit Dow closes the TV, you're gonna go blind.
Guess what that was? A lie? Parents? Parenting is ak

(24:42):
just lying. So whatever you have to do to get
the job done, you lie. How much do you lie
to your kids? You think, Oh, I don't even know.
I mean seventy five percent time. Also, I'm not lying.
I'm not I'm just not saying it. I mean you're
doing something and you feel your lie. If you're being
just honest and saw it and then asked me about it,
I would have to say. He say, port in a

(25:03):
bowl and he was like, Mom, this tastes a little
bit different today. Is that your accident of him? Yeah? Like,
do you know why, mom? This takes a mom? This
tas a little bit different? You know why? No? And
then I'll say, oh, I you would say it if
he different? You're lying again. I can't hide it from

(25:25):
him because if he notices, that means I'm busted. What
if he's not. What if he hasn't busted you and
he's like this one tastes a little different today. I
fell wait until you're wait. Yes, so lying is lying?
We go good parents? Okay? Also heay, you got the
penal swing in the other direction. No after that, No,
but I can't wait till Bobby's the dad. He's only

(25:47):
trust me. He's gonna lie a lot. Yes, I heard
it seven percent from Parenting. So Bobby Bones Show interviews.
In case you didn't know, a new podcast called High Strange.
It's out now and basically it's Paine Lindsay investigating well UFOs. Now,
he's not a big UFO guy. He's mostly done these

(26:09):
true crime podcasts where they investigate real crimes, real murders.
But he decided to take that and go into UFOs
government secrecy. And so that's what it is. It's High
Strange and he's got some good stuff and he's joining us. Now,
welcome Paine Lindsay on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Paine payin.
What's up, buddy? What's up? Man? How you doing pretty good?

(26:30):
I'm glad you're on like, well, not like you, because
you're really into it We've been talking a lot about aliens, spaceships.
I mean, all this stuff that you like, really put
your you know, education, knowledge, you go and investigate it.
We just say crap. So I'm glad we have on
somebody that actually knows a little bit about something. Here.
Let me say this about pain High Strange episodes drop

(26:53):
weekly on Thursdays. You can binge the entire series now
by subscribing to Tenderfoot Plus on Apple podcasts. But when
it comes to people I wanted to talk to, this
is the guy now? First of all, Area fifty one.
What's the craps out there? That's a good question. I
actually went there, Um, not inside obviously, but I went
about as close as you can get before you get shot.

(27:16):
And well they shot you if you go closer. Do
you think you'll get shot? You know, like they always
the sign, I mean, according to the sign, you do. Um,
but I will say there was there was a guy,
you know, I think it was twenty sixteen who did
cross the line and he was shot and he was killed.
So they do mean business about that. Um. I went

(27:37):
out there. I didn't see anything super cool other than
a insane level of security that I've never seen before.
So whatever they're doing there is is either super high
tech and secretive, or it's some secret golf course that
senators use and they don't want you to know about it.
I don't know. Both would be funny go to Yeah,

(27:58):
it would be either one bounce cool? What is your goal? Pain?
If people are listening to you, like, what are they
going to find out from you? Or what's your goal
to find out? The goal is actually super simple. It's
just posing the question what is really up with these UFOs? Right?
Everyone knows what the term UFO is and means, and

(28:19):
even though it stands for unidentified flying object, we know
you mean spaceships, alien spaceships. Right, all these stories over
the years, all this new stuff in the news, you
know what's really going on? And I feel like every
or most documentaries about this subject require a little bit
of tinfoil hat wearing to get all the way there.

(28:41):
And so I wanted to make a different style story,
just like my true crime stories about a subject like this,
and try to break the mold, break the stigma, and
really kind of give it an objective. Look, what's true,
what isn't? Where are we going from here? What's we
expect next, what do you think we're getting wrong as

(29:03):
the general public when you say what isn't true? Because
I read all the reports and it'd be like spokesperson
for the Pentagon says there's a mothership, or like what
are we reading? And then all of a sudden it
gets blind what are we wrong about? And then I
want to know, like, what is right that we probably
don't believe because we're scared to believe it. I think
because there's been so much in pop culture, you know,

(29:26):
the Steven Spielberg movies, all this stuff, you know, Little
Green Men, it's become such it's become like a trope, right,
It's like a it's become almost like a joke. And
so I think that what has gotten lost a little
bit is that there is some real, coldheard truth and
evidence that supports the idea that there are intelligent crafts

(29:52):
in our atmosphere or airspace that are not from the
US government, not from China, not from Russia or any
other adversary on Earth. And I think that that gets
lost in the just all the mumbo jumbo, all the
muddy waters that surround this topic as a whole, we

(30:13):
kind of forgot that Hey, actually, but don't forget. You know,
the pyramid things are cool, you know, all the like
conspiracy stuff is fun, but we're not talking about that.
We're talking about that actual literal craft that this navy
pilot saw that changed his life forever. And they're flying
the most advanced aircraft on Earth and they don't know

(30:36):
what it is. Well, you know, we say, could be China,
could be Russia, that's a very common thing to be said.
And you said, you know it's not, or at least
we don't think it is. But what do we even
really know though? If they were good at hiding what
they were doing, I mean, I'm sure we're doing the
same thing. You feel like it's not another country at
least some of these that we see, it's not advanced

(30:56):
testing that we're doing. You do think is something that
is bigger than we are. So I think it's probably
a little bit of everything. You know, It would be
naive for me to say that all these sightings can't
be those things, right. I bet some of them might
be some advanced aircraft that we're testing or an adversary.
But when the government itself comes out, when there's you know,

(31:20):
videos of the TIC TAC or the gimbal that you know,
we're published, you know, declassified, and they're in our government's
basically saying they're not ours. They're either lying about that,
which would be really crazier to be honest, or if
it is China or Russia, and what a big mishap

(31:44):
on our part? How do we miss that? How do
we miss some amazing technological advancement over thirty years and
you've kept it secret for that long? And if so,
then why isn't Russia using that technology in Ukraine? Right?
If you have all this crazy capability of aircraft, or

(32:05):
is it just not their's? Is it just not from here?
So I don't think it's ever. Every case is different,
but there is a small percentage where they don't fit
into any of those boxes. And there's very few boxes
left for it to go in. And one of them
is that it's from somewhere else. Yeah, And in your opinion,

(32:25):
why don't we ever have a good picture of this stuff? Right?
That's always a funny ones. Why are they always weird, blurry,
shaky video hosts? Right? I mean there's a couple of things.
I mean, one, there actually are some really good photos
and videos of UFOs that really have not to this day,

(32:46):
have never really been entirely debunked. You know. I like
to focus on the ones that are from you know,
the seventies, eighties, nineties, that are on Kodak film pre photoshop.
You know, they've sent the film to Kodak and they're saying, yeah,
this is legit, this is from this time. It's not
been altered. It's like there's too many ways to fake

(33:09):
something these days. AI all this stuff, It's like what's real?
What isn't anymore? So I totally get it. But you
also have to think if there is some intelligent life
coming from someplace that is so far away that we
can't even see it with our own most advanced telescopes,
that clearly tells us that they are significantly more advanced

(33:32):
than us, right, And so is it really that crazy
to think that they would know if someone has their
phone out. And I'm not saying that that's the reason
all the time, but like, wouldn't you We can tell
if someone has their phone out today with different technology
that the government has. So I think that part of

(33:53):
the technology than any of these crafts would would most
likely be some sort of stealth awareness of you know,
not getting caught right. So in your you know, saga
to prove this right or wrong or tell a story
because you've done it in true crime, but now doing
it with the unexplained aerial phenomenon, have you had your

(34:14):
mind changed from what you believed when you started to today?
It really did change, because it really at first, this
was just, to be honest, a fun sounding idea to
me as a kid. I liked you know, close encounters,
I liked et I've always been a fan of the
sci fi genre, just like I liked suspense stories in

(34:38):
true crime, right, So it was just kind of a
fun idea, like, hey, what if I took this approach
to this topic, what would happen. It wasn't really until
I was about six months into doing this that I
was kind of staring down coldheart evidence in so many
different places that it just kind of slowly clicked with

(34:59):
me that damn, there's actually so much more here that
is very real. It's almost any annoyingly more real than
I thought it was, or that I even wanted it
to be. And once I got to that point, I
kind of made it part of the podcast's mission to
deliver this information in a way that doesn't feel so

(35:22):
heavy handed and is very objective and leaves all options open,
but presents to you the most compelling things that there
are and really kind of leaves it up for you
to decide. And that's really what it became. Did you
talk to anyone who you really couldn't doubt what they
were saying because they came from such a place of

(35:44):
legitimacy and because they were who they are, you started
to go, dang, maybe there is something to this that
I didn't give the shot too absolutely. I mean, there's
there's a couple of different cases, but you know, there
was a story called the ryndelshrom Forrest incident in nineteen
eighty and these are seasoned Air Force military officers that

(36:07):
all experienced something that is to this day completely unexplainable
and damn near impossible to debunk. And then talking to
the Navy pilots who have experienced stuff in the last
couple of years, you know, for a lot of these people,
especially one of the radar specialists I talked to from

(36:27):
this case in two thousand and four, it changed his
life forever. And when he went to his higher ups
at the time to basically say, hey, I think like
these things in the sky that we're seeing days in
a row out here on the aircraft carrier are posing
a safety of flight risk for our pilots. And because

(36:47):
they just didn't know what they were and there was
such a stigma with UFOs and all that stuff, they
basically just gasolate him for a decade and he retired,
you know, in frustration. And then a couple of years
ago he sees on the news videos of his exact

(37:08):
experience and the Pentagon coming out and saying, yeah, this
happened and we don't know what it is. And he's like,
what those kind of stories make you wonder? You know,
what's the motivation to be making something up? You are
also someone who is of sound mind, and at a
certain point you get enough of these people, it starts
to paint a picture of something is going on. I'm

(37:32):
not saying that it's one thing or the other, but
I think that we have to start keeping more of
an open mind with other possibilities. And I think that
the people who are higher up in the government have
clearly started to think the same way, or they wouldn't
have a UFO research program. What do you think would
happen if they came out to day and said, yeah,

(37:52):
there's something out there. We don't really know what it is,
but we know for sure it's out there. I think
that they've sort of already, in a soft way, said that,
just not as specifically, right. I think, especially the younger generations, like, yeah,
that's fine, Like we kind of thought that anyway, don't care.

(38:13):
I think that there's a mixed viewpoints when it comes
to people's belief systems and how that fits into you know,
maybe their religion or their upbringing, all these different things.
So there's it's more of a nuanced conversation and paradigm
shifting for a lot of people. But I think that
in our lifetime that will be a known fact. And

(38:36):
I think that the younger generation is totally ready to
explore that and can compute that a little easier than maybe,
you know, my grandparents could. Right, Well, Lunchbox here on
this show is totally against the idea of anything being
out there at all. I am not, obviously, but Lunchbox is.

(38:57):
And so why is that? Well, go ahead, I just
believing it, Like if they're gonna come and get me,
come and get me, Like I just don't understand how
people think there's aliens like we would see them. We
were the smartest people in the world, So I mean,
I don't understand in the world, maybe this world, that's
what he's saying. I get the like why you may
instinctually think or feel that way, but I think it

(39:18):
could be sometimes a little bit small minded. It's like,
we are just now seeing the end of our own
galaxy for the first time with telescopes, but there are
literally over ten trillion more galaxies than this one. So
mathematically speaking, just off the math itself. Being close enough

(39:40):
to a star to do this and have enough of this,
it is likely that at least ten percent of the
universe is occupied by other species. I think the whole
us versus them mentality is a little misguided because the
likelihood of there being something else is almost certain at
this point. Now, the question of they've come here or

(40:00):
not is very valid. Right, maybe they haven't, But I
think that if they could come here from somewhere so
far away that we literally can't even see it with
our most advanced telescopes, then damn they are a lot
more advanced than we are. Right, Did that change your
mind at all? Oh no, I mean he says, oh, math,
so he's probably the same math guy's gonna tell me

(40:22):
my odds are I shouldn't play the lottery, I mean
not much. You probably should play the lottery. Yeah, right now,
I'm gonna believe in this guy. Okay, Paine Lensy listen,
High Strange. He's going after unexplained aerial phenomenon, trying to
investigate what's going on, giving us more of an idea.
And again, he's not a tinfoil hat wear at least
now I'm really not like, I'm really like an anti

(40:42):
conspiracy guy. I like, and I like went out of
my way to make this a UFOs little green man
wink wink like okay, but like really like what's up though,
And that's kind of the tone of the whole show.
So you don't have to put on the tinfoil hat
to follow along with this one. Pain good to talk
to you you guys, High Strange. Go go search it,

(41:03):
go listen to it. Subscribe. You can also follow him
at Payne Lindsay on Instagram, paying good luck and I
appreciate at the time. Thanks so much, guys, I appreciate it.
See buddy A bunch of kids stopped a man from
kidnapping a child at a bus stop in Maryland. A
kid was waiting at the bus stop, young kid about
seven twenty am when Jamal Germany, thirty years old, allegedly

(41:25):
grabbed the child and pulled them toward an apartment building.
Other students were near by at the bus stop, and
they jumped into action, like jumped all over the dude.
The bus then drives up and the students were able
to board, even the kid who was by himself, the
younger kid that was trying to be abducted or that
they was trying to be product. But if it weren't
for all those other kids jumping in, jumping on, screaming,

(41:46):
I don't know what he's trying to do with a kid, Yeah,
who knows. But they they identified him as a suspect.
They arrested him and accused him of attempted kidnapping. From
NBC News. But good thing those other kids are paying
attention because the bus stop back the day, we don't
pay attention anything. That's what trouble happened. The bus stop
is where a crap went down. Yeah, how many of
you guys at the bus stop because we had probably

(42:07):
eleven or six. Yeah, we have about six about eleven
or so. I would bus stop it. There was a
brief time I rode the bike. I don't know a bike.
Then once we moved closer to school, when I was
in the trail of park where I take a bus
because it was too far from school. But once I
moved into Mountain bid proper from a bike proper right downtown.
I'm rocking that your Samy's pile of stories. If you

(42:31):
got some days off from work that you need to take,
they say the best day to do that is Wednesday,
just randomly. It doesn't connect in the other days. You
can't have an extended time off. I know, I don't
get this at all, but they say that it breaks out.
We always still day around there is it, you know,
marketing for a better Wednesday dot com or something the
University of Texas Okay, m hm, And they say that, yeah,

(42:52):
if you're just wanting a little bit of a break,
that's a good time to do it. Take a break
from your team. You still like, don't get behind at
work or anything like that. Maybe it's because it's in
the middle and it makes the other two blocks seem shorter. Yeah,
you're splitting your week. I guess I just rather take
off a Monday or a Friday, longer week, because then
you can knock that three day out and just just
go buck wild. Yes, but what do you mean? I

(43:14):
don't know what that means. I just like saying it.
I've never actually gone buck wild in my life. Something
else they factored into this feeling that we get if
we do it a Wednesday is it's unexpected. Like sometimes
you randomly do get a Friday or Monday off. It's like,
oh wow, I'm just gonna have this random Wednesday Wednesday.
It's confusing to have off so it's Tuesday because everybody's
at work, and it's it's like you landed a planet
of the apes, Like, yeah, I don't look like everybody.

(43:35):
This is not right. Everything's odd. People are walking around.
It's just weird. So I got it any day off
the good day. But I prefer one of those three
day weekenders. I don't know research as Wednesdays do it. Okay,
Foods expire like they have a little date. But here's
the thing, we can still eat them long after we
don't have I to say, some of them, yeah, not
long universally. It can be expired, have mold all over,

(43:58):
eat it, sucker, No, but yes, I think the expiration
dates are there. They're a little premature, but just to
protect everybody, right, Yeah, dry pasta twenty four months, come
on after it expires, you know. I'm yeah, I'm familiar
with a longer years. I'm all good on that part,
thank you, though. But I mean I definitely have thrown
stuff out because I'm like, oh, man, that expired a

(44:19):
year ago, and now I know I could have kept it,
because canned foods are the same way, like canned pasta
pastas on the lost months yea, um. But eggs those
are safe to eat a few days after their expiration date,
but definitely smell them before cooking them. Bread, if you
store it in the fridge, it can last two weeks
past the expiration date the whole time. You have to

(44:40):
keep it in the fridge of the whole time, or
is it when it gets when it's getting near expiration
you throw it in the fridge. A question? Keep it
in the fridge the whole time? What kind of psycho
killer keeps their bread fridge? Am? Okay, okay, yeah, we
have two types of bread. In my house, the bread
that the kids like, and then my Ezekiel bread that
I like. I keep your bread in the freezer. Okay,

(45:02):
but I eat it every day and it's still it's
in my freezer, and then my kids, I keep it
in the fridge. I'm gonna put it in the toaster.
Weird else all right. Also watch your back to keep flower, sugar,
peanut butter cereals. You don't have to throw that stuff
away right in the expiration. You can google the exact dates.

(45:22):
But I'm just saying food prices are going ups, you
might as well make the most, so risk your life
by eating stuff. After when I saw flour and that
how long you keep it? It made me think of
the Last of Us, Like, I don't want to any
grains that have a chance to grow virus I'm going
to eat and turn me into a zombie. M I
thought that, But you know now there's a new virus
that's taken over. It's a fun guy, yeah America, Like

(45:43):
in reality that one. That's what it is on the
Last of Us. It's the fungus. But there's a real
one too. Yeah. Yeah, we talked about it. I know,
and I okay, So I'm going to see if you're
a true country fan, because if you if you know
these songs is from taste to country, then you pass
the testism. Need you now. It's a quarter after one.

(46:03):
I'm all alone and I need you now keep going
the whole thing. Well, I mean I can probably do it. Okay,
So if you have to like no, no, whaten Yeah,
this is a top fight. If you can't sing along
to all these songs, you are not a true country fan.
Where if it tells me a lot of country fan, okay,
gunpowder and lead. Oh, I'm on a round going around

(46:23):
my shotgun hemus on a lot of cigarette. I know
any words, but you got I know the melody. Yeah,
noun powdering Lida, that's Miranda Kenny chest mee, summertime. Here's
a deal? Is it beer? Is it you? That's ammer time?

(46:45):
Let it keep get my part here, and honest, I'm yeah,
it's a smile super I don't know anywhere and a

(47:07):
number two Harry Underwood before he cheats. Yeah, uh and
I rules up, get y'all and back. Yeah he wasn't right.
I was right on hey you of course I'm gonna
know all these songs. What else you got any one more?
And a number one Gretchen Wilson, red neck Woman, Easy,

(47:27):
don't hit it yet, Ray because I'm a red nick woman.
Got my neck all red because I'm a nit nick woman.
Now I gotta kill you dead. I don't think those
I ain't no high classic. Oh I know that? Yeah,
yeah hehaw yeah. Hey, y'all know Anyworris called me had

(47:50):
not a cutchy fan. Okay, I'll stab you like Amy
Will Brenda Fridge. The obvious songs we shall know are
like Friends and Low Places on the Road again, the
top five I know, but those are the obvious ones.
So that's why it's like, if you know these ones,
you're good. But I wouldn't even know all the words
all the big song, like all the word words on
the Road Again. I don't know all the words of

(48:10):
any song except Bear Naked Ladies, One Week, Chicken China,
the Chinese Chicken. I got out, and it's like my
brain stops Chicken watching Next files Wind Old Lights On,
I'm La Mason. The Smoking Men's in this one like
Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic lesting. I'm tan trick lest
Nickers get on too to satisfy. Like Karros saw, I'll
make mad films out. I'll make films. But if I
didn't have a samurai, gonna get us out of better clubs.
You know, the Kawa tiny nubs. Some arms are always
flying off the backswing. I can do down. That's my file.

(48:35):
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the
good news. Test is a lab fourteen years old. There
were some city workers right outside of where Test the
lab lived, and she ran up to them, and but
instead of actually getting to them, she fell in a
hole that they were working on. So she fell twenty

(48:56):
three feet down an open man hole. The dog own
or Larry, actually saw Tests fall into the hole, yells
at his wife and then he goes, hey, we gotta
get somebody here. Portland Fire and Rescue responded to the emergency.
They sent a firefighter down all into the manhole. They
harnessed up Tests. The great news is, even though Tess
was underground for nearly an hour, she had nothing broken.

(49:18):
Twenty three feet down and fourteen years old as a dog,
and nothing broke on her, which is crazy. So the
firefighter went down got her. Apparently there's a bunch of
debris at the bottom of the and it kind of
cushioned it. You know how people fall up buildings and movies.
They landed a dumpster. Yeah, that's what I pictured. It
happened in the test. The dog there, but she was
down there. The firefighters went down. I think it's super
cool they'll even do that. They'll even go down and
go we'll go save animals. Because I don't think the

(49:40):
whole cat and tree thing is real. I've seen it
on the news. That's why it's not that real, because
if it happens, it makes the news. You know, it's like, oh,
look at this, And maybe cats don't really get stuck
in trees either. But tests got stuck in a manhole
and a firefighter in Portland saved her, and I thought
that was awesome and I wanted to share it with you,
And that is what it's all about. That was telling

(50:03):
me something good.
