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 the stuff they don't want you to know, a
production of my heart rating. Hello, welcome back to the show.
(00:25):
My name is Matt. My name is all. They called
me Ben. We're joined, as always, with our super producer, Alexis,
code named Doc Holiday Jackson. Most importantly, you are you,
you are here, and that makes this the stuff they
don't want you to know. It is Thursday, if you
hear this, the day it comes out, which means it
is time for our weekly listener male segment, where we
(00:49):
get to hear from the best part of the show, you,
specifically you. I can't say it enough, and I hope
that's okay. We keep repeating it because it matters. Today
we are going to talk about shipwrecks in a way
that uh foreshadows an upcoming episode, and we are also
(01:11):
going to share some news from uh several of our
Muslim listeners who responded with fantastic insight regarding the Quran. Uh,
and this is something that's going to be close to
a lot of our fellow listeners hearts and experience. We
can't wait to get to it. We're also going to
(01:34):
have what I am going to call some ten, ten
terrible jokes from Oh gosh, I'vey spoil it. But before
we do that, there is something that we wanted to
begin with today that Um blew our minds, blue blew
my mind at least. I don't want to speak for everyone.
(01:54):
It is in response to a fantastic uh, to a
fantastic mission that NASA is currently undergoing out there in
the deep ink. It's true, folks, we always ask for
inside scoops from experts and goodness gracious, we got one
that fully opened a bag of badgers. Yes, and let's
(02:16):
open it together, shall we? We're gonna call this person seven,
seven says. Hey, guys, found your podcast about a year
ago and really enjoyed it. It's constantly one of my
top three, and that's really kind. By the way. Back
to the email, I was just catching up and was
listening to your strange news episode where you talked about
the DART program and I got it very excited because
(02:37):
I have a special connection to that program. A few
years ago, while working at the company I'm at that
makes specialized components for spacecraft, and satellites and the DART
program came across my desk and, between myself and an engineer,
we invented the mass production process that made making the
(02:57):
components for this mission possible and therefore made the mission possible.
How cool is that that someone who did that is
listening and then decided to write to us? Y'All do
amazing jobs. I mean all of you, like whoever, whatever
you're doing right now, it's super cool you. You always
write to us and you're doing like the coolest things ever,
(03:19):
so keep doing those things. Very seven says. Prior to
our work, the kinds of ultra light, ultra thin components
required for a mission like this would have had to
be meticulously handmade by a handful of expert technicians, a
very time consuming process and a labor intensive process. However,
(03:42):
the process we invented allows us to train a handful
of our normal, though still skilled, technicians and have them
make ten to twenty times, ten to twenty times the
number of components in the same amount of time it
used to take to make one. In fact, during that
development process, I personally hand built several of the components
now hurdling their way through space. Towards the asteroid, thus
(04:05):
proving even a monkey with two right hands could produce
a quality product with our process. Okay, a few additional
fun facts. When working on DART, I used to joke,
when asked how my day was, that I was tired
from saving the planet. The process I helped invent is
also being used to build the components for the Lunar
(04:26):
Gateway Missions Life Support Systems. Okay, Lunar Gateway Missions Life
Support Systems. Nice. I also worked on the Mars helicopter project. What?
There's a Mars helicopter project? Okay, I need to read
more about that, obviously. Oh my God, no, it's really cool. Okay,
what is it? So, as far as I understand, and
(04:49):
seven you are obviously our expert here, the Mars helicopter
project refers to Ingenuity UH street, named Jenny. It's this
rotor helicopter that was part of the I think it
was a combo meal with the Perseverance rover it landed in.
(05:11):
So it's like it's an airborne drone capability, basically. I
remember this now I remember this. Wow. Okay, in my
mind I was thinking full sized helicopter on Mars situation
with like some people, you know in a Huey. I
thought you built excited. Yeah, it uh, it did. It's
(05:33):
just looking it up now. It did it's thirty feet
flight earlier this month, September six, and it was. It
was a long flight too. Uh. That's pretty impressive, right,
because I don't know about you guys, but I can't
even fly a helicopter on earth, much less build one
that can fly remotely on another planet. Yeah, and this
(05:57):
person is listening to our show, Matt while they're making history. Geez,
thanks for classing the place up. Seven, yeah, I don't
know why you're listening to us, but that's okay. Just
keep doing what you're doing. So seven said they worked
on the Mars helicopter projects and got to handle a component. Uh,
that is currently on the chopper on Mars. Amazing get
(06:18):
to the chopper on Mars. Yes, very much to two
movies combined. Right. On a totally different note, I think
an episode about the fire, financial independence, retire early community
could be interesting to a lot of people. I had
never heard of it until my wife started looking into
it and now we're on track to retire early. I
(06:38):
feel it is very much stuff they don't want you
to know, because it highlights just how broken our culture
is and how the rich and wealthy have trained and
taught us to think that it isn't possible to retire
until we're old. But how, with a bit of planning
and patience, US normal people can use many of the
same methods that the wealthy use to generate our own wealth.
It is too much for me to explain in an email,
(07:00):
but I highly recommend looking into it, because I feel
it really is the stuff they don't want us to
know best. Regards seven, yeah, Oh man, there's so much
here right. There is so much here seven uh. If
anybody wants to learn about the fire philosophy and movement,
(07:20):
do encourage you to do so. You can find some
wonderful subredits. We don't always recommend subredits, but there's a
very active community uh, and it is well worth your time,
even if it's not for everyone, even if your mileage
may vary. But, Matt, this, this called to you and
(07:42):
this is in direct response to a story that you
were earlier shared in a previous Strange News Segment Regarding
Dart Aka, NASA's great game of Trick Shot Pool that
just may hopefully save planet Earth one day. So so
what what really speaks to you? What do you what
do you come away from this correspondence with? Just that
(08:04):
there's someone out there listening that's doing this. Uh, this
really is potentially earth saving tech and or at least
a mission that is earth saving. So I think it's
amazing that there there are individual humans doing it. Often
we think about government projects and, you know, NASA projects
and either even other like big low airspace projects, as
(08:28):
one big thing that is working towards whatever mission. It
is going to Mars, getting humans on Mars, doing more
moon missions, but it really is just individual humans that
are working on let's say, one component that ends up
on a helicopter drone on Mars. That's incredible. I think
it speaks to me and that it's a team of
people working on something, but in the end there are
(08:50):
individuals who each do their part. I don't know, that's
really cool to me. That just makes me happy. Yeah,
very much the same. You know, uh, years ago we
did a series on youtube called stuff of genius and
the original idea of stuff of genius was that it
would highlight inventors, and quickly we found that the majority
(09:16):
of human endeavors, the things that make it to the
history books. The majority of those actions and those innovations
our collaborative efforts. What's the old proverb? If you want
to travel fast, travel alone. If you want to travel far,
travel with others. And seven you are building history right now, folks,
(09:42):
you know you're listening while maybe you're doing chores, maybe
you're on the road, maybe you're at work, maybe you know,
as many reviews say, we're helping you fall asleep. But
if you ever get down, just think about that. How
amazing is that? I'M gonna curse on this one. There
is a Kane helicopter on Mars and we sort of
(10:04):
you sort of know one of the people who helped
that become a real thing. That's amazing. I don't know.
Should we have saved this one for the end? Should
we have saved it for like the end of the year?
I'm so impressed. Right now, people are out here change
in the world. Matt, and one time I fell asleep
halfway through trying to put on a pair of pants,
(10:26):
one leg at a time. Also, I thought that was
a sarcastic observation for the longest time because, you know,
like growing up I thought it was faster if you
sort of sat down or like put put your butt
on a bed or a chair or something and then
popped both your both your legs through. I thought it
was like a joke. I didn't realize the normal way
(10:47):
to put on pants for it was a very forward
thinking individual man. I mean I don't think most people
would consider that. It does require a bed, though, so
if you don't have a bed, there's really only one
way to do it. But if you have an extra
piece of gear like a bed, you could just hop
them on your back plot both legs at the same time.
But you can't just jump into your pants. No one
can do that. Maybe some, maybe, maybe a circus performer
(11:11):
could do it. That's I thought. That's how you're supposed
to put pants on. That's what I'm Oh, no, I
was I was doing a lean method. I was not
a clever yeah, okay, well, but also for everybody who
hasn't seen us in person, uh, you can remedy that
by going to our live shows coming up early October. Uh,
(11:34):
if you haven't seen Matt in person, Matt exclusively wears
those wrestler breakaway pants. Right. I love the sound impo
so it's like it's like a you always know it's
about to go down. You hear that sound. It's amazing.
When you turn around and were three pairs in case
one of them rips away like prematurely. Right, Feeling Matt's trademark,
(11:55):
golden g strain, redundant, redundancy, just like just like NASA, right, right,
all right. Well, Hey, I just wanted to point out.
I don't know, this is a really cool thing. That's
all I wanted to point out. I didn't want to
talk about anything conspiratorial. I just think it's cool. Seven
keep doing it. Anybody else thought they were working on
a project, no matter what it is. Right now, as
(12:15):
you're hearing this, just keep going. You're doing important stuff.
I promise. It may not seem like it in this moment.
What it is. Well, hear, a quick word from our
sponsor and we'll be right back. And we're back with
more listener mail. That's mail from you, yes, you, the
(12:37):
very one. Uh, this you in question in particularly today,
comes from Alice Ben you. You mentioned the top of
the show that we had a couple of listeners right
in Um about the conversation we had around Um. The
Bible versus the Koran, just in terms of I think
the question that I raised was, you know, obviously there
(12:58):
are lots of different versions of the Bible, uh, the
King James version. There are different, you know, interpretations, and
these are actual core changes to the text itself. Uh.
And I brought up the question of they are there
different versions of the Koran, to which you responded, uh,
there are certainly other translations. There are many different translations,
but you know, the core, Um, you know, text of
(13:19):
the Koran is pretty sacrisanct and there's seem right to me.
There's also one it seemed right to me, and that
was sort of the whole point was that the Bible
seems to be very much up for interpretation and can
be wielded almost as a tool of control, mechanism of control,
by those who, you know, seek to kind of bend
(13:39):
it to their own goals, Um, culturally speaking. So here's
a perspective from a Muslim listener of ours on that
very issue and clarifying a few things that we already discussed, um,
but adding some some new perspective around, and I really
appreciate it. Just listen to your episode where you touch
on book bannings and versions of the Bible. First, let
me say I was raised Catholic from green is one
(14:00):
to eleven, before becoming Muslim in my late twenties because
it actually made more sense to me than Christianity. Regarding
versions of the Koran, there's only one version of the
Koran accepted by any faction of Islam, whether someone is Sunni, Shia, Sufi, etcetera,
there is only one version. It is only really acceptable
if it is in the original Arabic. However, there are
(14:21):
many different translations of the Koran and those can be
hotly contested, as the meaning can be severely changed by
the translation of a single word, the mistranslation rather of
a single word. In fact, this has taken so seriously
because in Islamic belief, the entire reason the Koran was
dictated to Mohammed is because the Christian Bible had been
quote changed by men and parts added and remove the
(14:44):
Bible had been around for at least a thousand years
at this point, so God sent a clean copy again
and really laid down the law on not changing anything.
The Shia Sunni difference has to do with the scholarly
interpretation of what the Kuran says to do and some
stuff regarding the lineage of Muhammad. A great example of
interpretive differences would be, like, quote, tell the women to
(15:08):
pull their head coverings over their bosoms. One group may
interpret this as women must cover their hair and chest
and another may interpret it as being more important to
cover your chest than your hair. So that that makes sense. Um,
it's all about interpretation here. You know, you can have
a steadfast text, letter, chapter in verse. You know that
(15:29):
that will never change, but you're gonna have interpretations of
even that, you know, like without the pitfalls of actual
translation into another language and, as we know, the art
of being a translator of like scholarly works or poetry
or things where there's so much nuance in the language itself.
You know, to to do that translation justice requires a
(15:50):
lot of kind of mental Jiu Jitsu and kind of
like really creative thinking to figure out how to impart
the same meaning and intent uh in a another language
that maybe it doesn't have the same cultural implications, are
the same, you know, Um connotations within words. So I
thought this is a really good opportunity to talk a
little bit about the nature of translation and the nature
(16:12):
of kind of communication. What do you guys think? Yeah,
I was. We were having a conversation for a secret
project yesterday with the three of US hanging out talking
about the game of telephone. We bring that up on
this show a lot. Just the concept at anytime information
is transferred, if it's done especially by a human source,
so verbally telling someone or even writing it down, if
(16:35):
you're not copying it directly, there's gonna be small changes, likely, right,
and it's just in how each individual person interprets something
and translates it from a page or from words or
something like that into their own way they speak, you know,
the words that they use to convey ideas. I think
it's a smart move if you're going to have, you know,
(16:56):
a really dogmatic belief system and you want to have
that in place, if you're the people, you know, beginning
a religion or trying to strengthen a religion's numbers or
something like that, it's a really smart move to tamp
down on different versions of a holy book. Right, it's
gonna make it feel probably a lot more authentic to
(17:17):
anyone else encountering it. If you if you're aware that
this is the one and only m yeah, one of
the reasons that I pitched the idea of history is
a game of telephone all these years ago is because, unfortunately,
it's it's quite accurate. You know, the the Catholic Church,
for instance, is a form of Christianity that spent a
(17:41):
great deal of time deciding what was and what was
not considered canonical, fighting against the idea of this game
telephone before the game, before telephones were even invented. As
a fun comparison, in response, it is something I always
say is beautiful about the Quran is the idea that
(18:06):
this is the thing. No, edits, you know, you can't
change it. In full disclosure, I do not read Arabic
very well at all. I am certainly not, uh, someone
who is able to recite all one and fourteen chapters
of the Koran, but it's such a brilliant law to
(18:30):
lay down to say this is the truth, it shall
not be changed by people who feel that changing it
would be um socially or politically convenient later down the line,
you know, and that's why I think that's Um. That's
a very good point that you make, Alice, regarding the
(18:53):
dangers of translation, and maybe not even dangers. You know,
a lot of those translations are going to be someone
doing their level best as a translator. and honestly, as
anyone who studies language knows, any polyglot can tell you
that there are there are concepts in some languages, in
(19:18):
many languages, that don't have a one to one comparison
in other languages. And you know that confusion, that UH Gosh,
liminal space, sorry, is where that's where these sorts of
things begin and that's where you start to see these
divisions prolivery. And you do not have to be a
(19:43):
person of the Muslim faith to recognize the inherent potential
danger of translation. You Know, Translation Gone Wild. Like. Okay,
so good faith actors can make mistakes and translation right
or accidentally put their own cultural framework on it. But, uh,
(20:07):
but they're also bad faith actors in translation, and we
see that so often in the modern day. You know,
there there are western propagandists who put their own spin
on translations, especially when they know that here in the US,
many people won't be able to understand the origin, uh,
(20:32):
the original language that is being translated. It's it's tough,
you know, and hats off to any working translators listening today,
because it can be very, very difficult to try to
move thoughts from one language to another. Now I thought
of that conversation to Matt that we had and on
(20:54):
the top secret project and, Um, it is interesting the
way throughout history, you know, so much has carried over
through the world tradition, which is why the idea of
a printed uh, you know, work who are printed holy
text was so revolutionary and important because it's like, nope,
no more of that, this is the thing. But that
doesn't stop it, does it? Because interpretation of its own
(21:16):
game of telephone and just kind of happens in people's minds.
You know, it's interesting because one of our other fellow
conspiracy realist who wants to be referred to as stuff
they don't want you to know, as Muslim fan, points
out that there are various styles of reciting the Arabic
of the Quran and compares it to singing styles. And
(21:39):
then also Alice. Just you know you're not alone. There
are other people including stuff they want you to know,
as Muslim Fan who pointed out the difference of interpretation
in translation. It can be a really complicated, challenging thing.
But I don't know about you know, I don't know
about you, Matt, but I'm I'm grateful that we have
(22:03):
listeners who are aware of the difficulties and dangers of translation,
and also profoundly grateful that we have fellow conspiracy realists
who trust US enough to send this message out to
the rest of us, to the rest of us and
(22:24):
our listeners who may not be aware of the reason
that the only true Koran is in Arabic. We're pretty lucky. Agreed.
We are going to take a quick break and then
we're gonna come back with one more piece of listener mail.
(22:47):
And we have returned. Our next piece of correspondence comes
from Tyler d out, now Alberta, Canada. Tyler, you gave
us the okay to use what you tell us is
your real name on air. So Tyler says the following.
I've been a fan from the first show. Wow, that's
a long time, but I can't remember if you ever
(23:10):
covered the topic of Sunken World War Two vessels and
ecological disasters waiting to escape their decaying holes. Uh, Tyler,
you point us to wonderful documentary via Youtube called forgotten.
REX are a time bomb, and you kick some numbers
that I want to share with the group with over
(23:33):
eight thousand five hundred shipwrecks worldwide, three fourths of which
are apparently from World War Two. The majority of them
are from the past century. There are six thousand, three
hundred thirty eight World War Two ships containing and estimated,
get this guy's, twenty five million tons of fuel and
oil still sitting in corroding tanks. The German ships mainly
(23:57):
use synthetic oil produced from cold treated with hydrogen high temperatures,
which is more toxic than typical oil at the time.
And just for get this, ships and giggles. I would
also like to add another delightful fun fact. Off The
coast of Norway, Approximately Eight d feet below the surface,
(24:18):
is the Nazi U Boat u six four that was
sunk by the British sub H M s venturer on
February nine. It contains sixty five to sixty seven thousand
tons of mercury, twenty torpedoes and enriched uranium. The exact
numbers are probably kept under wraps, but this sounds worse
(24:40):
than horrible. It would be interesting to hear what you
guys can find out. I look forward to every new episode.
Thank you all and stave. Frosty Tyler what do you think?
We've never covered this? Right, all the ships of years past,
with a little uh, tick tick, tick, tick tick of
underwater corrosion. Yeah, that's really freaky. You just think about
(25:03):
how dangerous a single oil tanker is when it's out,
you know, just in the ocean and it's immobilized and
maybe the whole is compromised in a small way. How
much of an undertaking it is to get that ship
away or out of the water or to repair whatever
is broken so that the thing doesn't just sink to
(25:23):
the bottom and then eventually leak out. Right. That becomes
a huge news story, just the fact that there's so
many vessels down there right now. Like, what the heck
do you do about it? Right, just wait until all
the oceans dry up, like like lake meat, right. Yeah,
it's weird. The lakes are drying up while the ocean
(25:44):
size is increasing right at the same time becoming increasingly unlivable,
sort of like New York. Anyhow. I walked down the
street from that one for that. But yeah, maybe this
is a maybe this is a future episode, because we
know that in the past, uh, the US in particular
(26:04):
has executed some pretty crafty attempts to retrieve shipwrecks covertly,
you know, uh, and given that the oceotic environment is
largely unexplored, especially at the depths, it's kind of hard
to tell what's down there. You know, it's pretty nuts.
(26:26):
I I just don't know whether there is a huge
bill that will come do at some point. You know, Matt,
you point out the issue with oil tankers, right, with
oil rigs. What happens when those things go sideways with this?
(26:46):
I guess maybe our question for the episode would be,
does this create a situation in which there's a massive
outpouring of contaminants, or is it just like adding another
two per to the ongoing catastrophe? I honestly don't know.
What do you guys think? In some ways it's a
drop in the bucket, right, because we know ocean acidification
(27:09):
is probably the major missue, as well as the temperature rise.
I mean, if those are happening, then anything that's in
that water is going to be affected. If you've got
contaminants like this that are isolated, at least for the
most part, to a cloud of stuff that's going to
be contaminating the water. And you have to think about it.
(27:31):
That way they're bigger fish to FRY, but most of
them are whales and citations and things like that, and
that's really messed up. Yeah, I agreed. So this is
maybe a story for a future episode, because we would
have to look at, I don't know, all the sketchy
(27:54):
stuff that goes on in maritime law, all the you know,
the rights of Plun to, the rights of recovery, and
then we would have to look at the inevitable consequences
as as we've mentioned in the past. By the way,
our home state of Georgia here in the United States
is home to a sunken nuclear weapon. It is off
(28:18):
the coast of Savanda. Everybody knows it's there somewhere. It
is yet to be retrieved. We're just kind of hoping
nothing bumps it. Yeah, right, I think about that Word
Savannah that we I know we talked about that before.
It seems like in order to make a nuclear weapon
(28:38):
do the thing it's meant to do, it was born
to do, and start a chain reaction that makes a
big old boomy boom, you have to trigger it in
a certain way. You can't just explode it right. So
that's I'm not as worried about that one um but
lingering effects of radioactive waste and or, you know, nuclear
(29:00):
facial materials, that that does worry me. Well, added to
the list right of things to think about. We don't
want to end out a doubter or make things too
worries and give us your give us your input, give
us your experience with tracking shipwrecks. There are people who
professionally go out to find these uh, they are treasure hunters,
(29:23):
history hunters. If you're in the audience, we would love
to hear from you and share your story so that
we end on an up note. Or maybe a Groan there.
There's one last thing I want to share, apart from
someone calling themselves humorous Harry. Did you all see the
email from humorous Harry? H I've heard about it. I
(29:49):
hear tell, Tell. Okay, all right, okay, we'll just we'll
do a few of these so that we don't get fired.
These are ten, ten terrible jokes, and Harry, I say
that with profound respect and immense affection. Humorist Harry says,
as always, loved the show. Keep up the excellent work,
(30:10):
just to give something back for all that you have
given me. Editorial note here. I don't know if that
is like a thank you or if he's telling us
this is revenge. Harry says. These are some of the
most recent jokes I created. Enjoy you guys ready. Oh God, yes,
(30:31):
what money does bigfoot use? This is an easy one.
I think we can guess. Saskuh, SASS SAS coin, SAS SAS,
SAS quarters. I like that one. Nol, I think that's okay.
He says cryptid currency. Oh Ok, I like SAS quarters.
(30:52):
Like it's because it's got the queue, it's got the
que in there, you know. And then the better sasquatch, Sasquat,
a good mouth feel, you would say. Case anybody, in
case anybody, missed the chip. It's it's better than buckfoot.
UH So why did? Why did the cryptocurrency owner go
to the dentist? They chipped the tooth when they pit coin. Oh,
(31:17):
just like someone an old pirate would. Do you want
to make sure that there was gold in them doubloons?
I want to. I want to keep this punchy. So
do you guys pull up the email too, so we
could round robin this a little bit while you're looking
for it? Uh, I'll just say. Why did Scotty from
Star Trek throw clowns into the warp drive? Why is
that met? Because, Captain Kirk said, I need full power.
(31:38):
I need full power. I've got one if you don't mind.
It's not on the list, but I just I've been
watching this amazing Australian show called Mr in between, and
the joke is what do uh, what do the starship
enterprise and toilet paper have in common? What's that? They
both search your anus for Klingons. It's good, it's not good. No,
(32:03):
it's just you know, they're not, wait for it, inner
system explorers on Star Trek. Geez, alright. Why was the
energizer buddy taken to jail? It was arrested for battery. Tut,
Tut hair. I never trusted that bunny. Those dark glasses.
(32:25):
Why would you show us your eyes, bunny? How about
this one? What kind of comedy do you get in
the desert? I don't know what. Dry Humor, a slow,
painful starvation. Okay, Um. What kind of toast do Dalmatian
owners like? Oh, I don't know what. Pure bread. That's
(32:48):
pure bread. It's kind of buddy. It's kind of like
those compilations from like the early ots or late nineties,
pure moods. This is pure bread, you know. Yeah, no adulter. Okay,
you know what, we're just gonna do one more and
then we're gonna wrap the show. Uh, Harry, you asked
(33:09):
what do female fish where to feel Alluri can I
get and I don't know what should tell us o
fish nets dot. I hope you've given us the appropriate
sound cute grons here, but I don't know about you guys.
I love this, Harry. You took the time out of
(33:30):
your day to, uh, to create jokes for your fellow
conspiracy realists, and you sent a lot. Uh, we're reading
some of them, but we we love this stuff. Uh,
you know, you could call them dad jokes, you can
call them puns, but you know, nowadays and these are
(33:50):
dark times, any chuckle, I think, is worth its weight
in gold and Crypto and Bitcoin and lithium and Um,
other things, other things. Yeah, you know, Harry reminds me
a lot of the sound person we worked with yesterday,
ran ran. That guy had some zingers. He had some
zingers and and he and he just float them in
(34:13):
and you'd barely even notice until you were like, I've
been sliced comedy. Yeah, he's got. He's got what the
British call a pattern. Uh. So, thank you, as always,
to everyone who spends the time, the only real currency
of our age, tuning in. We love sharing stories from
(34:34):
your fellow conspiracy realists and if you want to take
a page from their book, we cannot wait to hear
from you. We try to be easy to find online.
I don't know if we're opening a door, but send us,
send us your jokes. We're definitely closing a window. Is Um.
You can find us on the Internet where we are
(34:55):

(00:25):
My name is Matt. My name is all. They called
me Ben. We're joined, as always, with our super producer, Alexis,
code named Doc Holiday Jackson. Most importantly, you are you,
you are here, and that makes this the stuff they
don't want you to know. It is Thursday, if you
hear this, the day it comes out, which means it
is time for our weekly listener male segment, where we
(00:49):
get to hear from the best part of the show, you,
specifically you. I can't say it enough, and I hope
that's okay. We keep repeating it because it matters. Today
we are going to talk about shipwrecks in a way
that uh foreshadows an upcoming episode, and we are also
(01:11):
going to share some news from uh several of our
Muslim listeners who responded with fantastic insight regarding the Quran. Uh,
and this is something that's going to be close to
a lot of our fellow listeners hearts and experience. We
can't wait to get to it. We're also going to
(01:34):
have what I am going to call some ten, ten
terrible jokes from Oh gosh, I'vey spoil it. But before
we do that, there is something that we wanted to
begin with today that Um blew our minds, blue blew
my mind at least. I don't want to speak for everyone.
(01:54):
It is in response to a fantastic uh, to a
fantastic mission that NASA is currently undergoing out there in
the deep ink. It's true, folks, we always ask for
inside scoops from experts and goodness gracious, we got one
that fully opened a bag of badgers. Yes, and let's
(02:16):
open it together, shall we? We're gonna call this person seven,
seven says. Hey, guys, found your podcast about a year
ago and really enjoyed it. It's constantly one of my
top three, and that's really kind. By the way. Back
to the email, I was just catching up and was
listening to your strange news episode where you talked about
the DART program and I got it very excited because
(02:37):
I have a special connection to that program. A few
years ago, while working at the company I'm at that
makes specialized components for spacecraft, and satellites and the DART
program came across my desk and, between myself and an engineer,
we invented the mass production process that made making the
(02:57):
components for this mission possible and therefore made the mission possible.
How cool is that that someone who did that is
listening and then decided to write to us? Y'All do
amazing jobs. I mean all of you, like whoever, whatever
you're doing right now, it's super cool you. You always
write to us and you're doing like the coolest things ever,
(03:19):
so keep doing those things. Very seven says. Prior to
our work, the kinds of ultra light, ultra thin components
required for a mission like this would have had to
be meticulously handmade by a handful of expert technicians, a
very time consuming process and a labor intensive process. However,
(03:42):
the process we invented allows us to train a handful
of our normal, though still skilled, technicians and have them
make ten to twenty times, ten to twenty times the
number of components in the same amount of time it
used to take to make one. In fact, during that
development process, I personally hand built several of the components
now hurdling their way through space. Towards the asteroid, thus
(04:05):
proving even a monkey with two right hands could produce
a quality product with our process. Okay, a few additional
fun facts. When working on DART, I used to joke,
when asked how my day was, that I was tired
from saving the planet. The process I helped invent is
also being used to build the components for the Lunar
(04:26):
Gateway Missions Life Support Systems. Okay, Lunar Gateway Missions Life
Support Systems. Nice. I also worked on the Mars helicopter project. What?
There's a Mars helicopter project? Okay, I need to read
more about that, obviously. Oh my God, no, it's really cool. Okay,
what is it? So, as far as I understand, and
(04:49):
seven you are obviously our expert here, the Mars helicopter
project refers to Ingenuity UH street, named Jenny. It's this
rotor helicopter that was part of the I think it
was a combo meal with the Perseverance rover it landed in.
(05:11):
So it's like it's an airborne drone capability, basically. I
remember this now I remember this. Wow. Okay, in my
mind I was thinking full sized helicopter on Mars situation
with like some people, you know in a Huey. I
thought you built excited. Yeah, it uh, it did. It's
(05:33):
just looking it up now. It did it's thirty feet
flight earlier this month, September six, and it was. It
was a long flight too. Uh. That's pretty impressive, right,
because I don't know about you guys, but I can't
even fly a helicopter on earth, much less build one
that can fly remotely on another planet. Yeah, and this
(05:57):
person is listening to our show, Matt while they're making history. Geez,
thanks for classing the place up. Seven, yeah, I don't
know why you're listening to us, but that's okay. Just
keep doing what you're doing. So seven said they worked
on the Mars helicopter projects and got to handle a component. Uh,
that is currently on the chopper on Mars. Amazing get
(06:18):
to the chopper on Mars. Yes, very much to two
movies combined. Right. On a totally different note, I think
an episode about the fire, financial independence, retire early community
could be interesting to a lot of people. I had
never heard of it until my wife started looking into
it and now we're on track to retire early. I
(06:38):
feel it is very much stuff they don't want you
to know, because it highlights just how broken our culture
is and how the rich and wealthy have trained and
taught us to think that it isn't possible to retire
until we're old. But how, with a bit of planning
and patience, US normal people can use many of the
same methods that the wealthy use to generate our own wealth.
It is too much for me to explain in an email,
(07:00):
but I highly recommend looking into it, because I feel
it really is the stuff they don't want us to
know best. Regards seven, yeah, Oh man, there's so much
here right. There is so much here seven uh. If
anybody wants to learn about the fire philosophy and movement,
(07:20):
do encourage you to do so. You can find some
wonderful subredits. We don't always recommend subredits, but there's a
very active community uh, and it is well worth your time,
even if it's not for everyone, even if your mileage
may vary. But, Matt, this, this called to you and
(07:42):
this is in direct response to a story that you
were earlier shared in a previous Strange News Segment Regarding
Dart Aka, NASA's great game of Trick Shot Pool that
just may hopefully save planet Earth one day. So so
what what really speaks to you? What do you what
do you come away from this correspondence with? Just that
(08:04):
there's someone out there listening that's doing this. Uh, this
really is potentially earth saving tech and or at least
a mission that is earth saving. So I think it's
amazing that there there are individual humans doing it. Often
we think about government projects and, you know, NASA projects
and either even other like big low airspace projects, as
(08:28):
one big thing that is working towards whatever mission. It
is going to Mars, getting humans on Mars, doing more
moon missions, but it really is just individual humans that
are working on let's say, one component that ends up
on a helicopter drone on Mars. That's incredible. I think
it speaks to me and that it's a team of
people working on something, but in the end there are
(08:50):
individuals who each do their part. I don't know, that's
really cool to me. That just makes me happy. Yeah,
very much the same. You know, uh, years ago we
did a series on youtube called stuff of genius and
the original idea of stuff of genius was that it
would highlight inventors, and quickly we found that the majority
(09:16):
of human endeavors, the things that make it to the
history books. The majority of those actions and those innovations
our collaborative efforts. What's the old proverb? If you want
to travel fast, travel alone. If you want to travel far,
travel with others. And seven you are building history right now, folks,
(09:42):
you know you're listening while maybe you're doing chores, maybe
you're on the road, maybe you're at work, maybe you know,
as many reviews say, we're helping you fall asleep. But
if you ever get down, just think about that. How
amazing is that? I'M gonna curse on this one. There
is a Kane helicopter on Mars and we sort of
(10:04):
you sort of know one of the people who helped
that become a real thing. That's amazing. I don't know.
Should we have saved this one for the end? Should
we have saved it for like the end of the year?
I'm so impressed. Right now, people are out here change
in the world. Matt, and one time I fell asleep
halfway through trying to put on a pair of pants,
(10:26):
one leg at a time. Also, I thought that was
a sarcastic observation for the longest time because, you know,
like growing up I thought it was faster if you
sort of sat down or like put put your butt
on a bed or a chair or something and then
popped both your both your legs through. I thought it
was like a joke. I didn't realize the normal way
(10:47):
to put on pants for it was a very forward
thinking individual man. I mean I don't think most people
would consider that. It does require a bed, though, so
if you don't have a bed, there's really only one
way to do it. But if you have an extra
piece of gear like a bed, you could just hop
them on your back plot both legs at the same time.
But you can't just jump into your pants. No one
can do that. Maybe some, maybe, maybe a circus performer
(11:11):
could do it. That's I thought. That's how you're supposed
to put pants on. That's what I'm Oh, no, I
was I was doing a lean method. I was not
a clever yeah, okay, well, but also for everybody who
hasn't seen us in person, uh, you can remedy that
by going to our live shows coming up early October. Uh,
(11:34):
if you haven't seen Matt in person, Matt exclusively wears
those wrestler breakaway pants. Right. I love the sound impo
so it's like it's like a you always know it's
about to go down. You hear that sound. It's amazing.
When you turn around and were three pairs in case
one of them rips away like prematurely. Right, Feeling Matt's trademark,
(11:55):
golden g strain, redundant, redundancy, just like just like NASA, right, right,
all right. Well, Hey, I just wanted to point out.
I don't know, this is a really cool thing. That's
all I wanted to point out. I didn't want to
talk about anything conspiratorial. I just think it's cool. Seven
keep doing it. Anybody else thought they were working on
a project, no matter what it is. Right now, as
(12:15):
you're hearing this, just keep going. You're doing important stuff.
I promise. It may not seem like it in this moment.
What it is. Well, hear, a quick word from our
sponsor and we'll be right back. And we're back with
more listener mail. That's mail from you, yes, you, the
(12:37):
very one. Uh, this you in question in particularly today,
comes from Alice Ben you. You mentioned the top of
the show that we had a couple of listeners right
in Um about the conversation we had around Um. The
Bible versus the Koran, just in terms of I think
the question that I raised was, you know, obviously there
(12:58):
are lots of different versions of the Bible, uh, the
King James version. There are different, you know, interpretations, and
these are actual core changes to the text itself. Uh.
And I brought up the question of they are there
different versions of the Koran, to which you responded, uh,
there are certainly other translations. There are many different translations,
but you know, the core, Um, you know, text of
(13:19):
the Koran is pretty sacrisanct and there's seem right to me.
There's also one it seemed right to me, and that
was sort of the whole point was that the Bible
seems to be very much up for interpretation and can
be wielded almost as a tool of control, mechanism of control,
by those who, you know, seek to kind of bend
(13:39):
it to their own goals, Um, culturally speaking. So here's
a perspective from a Muslim listener of ours on that
very issue and clarifying a few things that we already discussed, um,
but adding some some new perspective around, and I really
appreciate it. Just listen to your episode where you touch
on book bannings and versions of the Bible. First, let
me say I was raised Catholic from green is one
(14:00):
to eleven, before becoming Muslim in my late twenties because
it actually made more sense to me than Christianity. Regarding
versions of the Koran, there's only one version of the
Koran accepted by any faction of Islam, whether someone is Sunni, Shia, Sufi, etcetera,
there is only one version. It is only really acceptable
if it is in the original Arabic. However, there are
(14:21):
many different translations of the Koran and those can be
hotly contested, as the meaning can be severely changed by
the translation of a single word, the mistranslation rather of
a single word. In fact, this has taken so seriously
because in Islamic belief, the entire reason the Koran was
dictated to Mohammed is because the Christian Bible had been
quote changed by men and parts added and remove the
(14:44):
Bible had been around for at least a thousand years
at this point, so God sent a clean copy again
and really laid down the law on not changing anything.
The Shia Sunni difference has to do with the scholarly
interpretation of what the Kuran says to do and some
stuff regarding the lineage of Muhammad. A great example of
interpretive differences would be, like, quote, tell the women to
(15:08):
pull their head coverings over their bosoms. One group may
interpret this as women must cover their hair and chest
and another may interpret it as being more important to
cover your chest than your hair. So that that makes sense. Um,
it's all about interpretation here. You know, you can have
a steadfast text, letter, chapter in verse. You know that
(15:29):
that will never change, but you're gonna have interpretations of
even that, you know, like without the pitfalls of actual
translation into another language and, as we know, the art
of being a translator of like scholarly works or poetry
or things where there's so much nuance in the language itself.
You know, to to do that translation justice requires a
(15:50):
lot of kind of mental Jiu Jitsu and kind of
like really creative thinking to figure out how to impart
the same meaning and intent uh in a another language
that maybe it doesn't have the same cultural implications, are
the same, you know, Um connotations within words. So I
thought this is a really good opportunity to talk a
little bit about the nature of translation and the nature
(16:12):
of kind of communication. What do you guys think? Yeah,
I was. We were having a conversation for a secret
project yesterday with the three of US hanging out talking
about the game of telephone. We bring that up on
this show a lot. Just the concept at anytime information
is transferred, if it's done especially by a human source,
so verbally telling someone or even writing it down, if
(16:35):
you're not copying it directly, there's gonna be small changes, likely, right,
and it's just in how each individual person interprets something
and translates it from a page or from words or
something like that into their own way they speak, you know,
the words that they use to convey ideas. I think
it's a smart move if you're going to have, you know,
(16:56):
a really dogmatic belief system and you want to have
that in place, if you're the people, you know, beginning
a religion or trying to strengthen a religion's numbers or
something like that, it's a really smart move to tamp
down on different versions of a holy book. Right, it's
gonna make it feel probably a lot more authentic to
(17:17):
anyone else encountering it. If you if you're aware that
this is the one and only m yeah, one of
the reasons that I pitched the idea of history is
a game of telephone all these years ago is because, unfortunately,
it's it's quite accurate. You know, the the Catholic Church,
for instance, is a form of Christianity that spent a
(17:41):
great deal of time deciding what was and what was
not considered canonical, fighting against the idea of this game
telephone before the game, before telephones were even invented. As
a fun comparison, in response, it is something I always
say is beautiful about the Quran is the idea that
(18:06):
this is the thing. No, edits, you know, you can't
change it. In full disclosure, I do not read Arabic
very well at all. I am certainly not, uh, someone
who is able to recite all one and fourteen chapters
of the Koran, but it's such a brilliant law to
(18:30):
lay down to say this is the truth, it shall
not be changed by people who feel that changing it
would be um socially or politically convenient later down the line,
you know, and that's why I think that's Um. That's
a very good point that you make, Alice, regarding the
(18:53):
dangers of translation, and maybe not even dangers. You know,
a lot of those translations are going to be someone
doing their level best as a translator. and honestly, as
anyone who studies language knows, any polyglot can tell you
that there are there are concepts in some languages, in
(19:18):
many languages, that don't have a one to one comparison
in other languages. And you know that confusion, that UH Gosh,
liminal space, sorry, is where that's where these sorts of
things begin and that's where you start to see these
divisions prolivery. And you do not have to be a
(19:43):
person of the Muslim faith to recognize the inherent potential
danger of translation. You Know, Translation Gone Wild. Like. Okay,
so good faith actors can make mistakes and translation right
or accidentally put their own cultural framework on it. But, uh,
(20:07):
but they're also bad faith actors in translation, and we
see that so often in the modern day. You know,
there there are western propagandists who put their own spin
on translations, especially when they know that here in the US,
many people won't be able to understand the origin, uh,
(20:32):
the original language that is being translated. It's it's tough,
you know, and hats off to any working translators listening today,
because it can be very, very difficult to try to
move thoughts from one language to another. Now I thought
of that conversation to Matt that we had and on
(20:54):
the top secret project and, Um, it is interesting the
way throughout history, you know, so much has carried over
through the world tradition, which is why the idea of
a printed uh, you know, work who are printed holy
text was so revolutionary and important because it's like, nope,
no more of that, this is the thing. But that
doesn't stop it, does it? Because interpretation of its own
(21:16):
game of telephone and just kind of happens in people's minds.
You know, it's interesting because one of our other fellow
conspiracy realist who wants to be referred to as stuff
they don't want you to know, as Muslim fan, points
out that there are various styles of reciting the Arabic
of the Quran and compares it to singing styles. And
(21:39):
then also Alice. Just you know you're not alone. There
are other people including stuff they want you to know,
as Muslim Fan who pointed out the difference of interpretation
in translation. It can be a really complicated, challenging thing.
But I don't know about you know, I don't know
about you, Matt, but I'm I'm grateful that we have
(22:03):
listeners who are aware of the difficulties and dangers of translation,
and also profoundly grateful that we have fellow conspiracy realists
who trust US enough to send this message out to
the rest of us, to the rest of us and
(22:24):
our listeners who may not be aware of the reason
that the only true Koran is in Arabic. We're pretty lucky. Agreed.
We are going to take a quick break and then
we're gonna come back with one more piece of listener mail.
(22:47):
And we have returned. Our next piece of correspondence comes
from Tyler d out, now Alberta, Canada. Tyler, you gave
us the okay to use what you tell us is
your real name on air. So Tyler says the following.
I've been a fan from the first show. Wow, that's
a long time, but I can't remember if you ever
(23:10):
covered the topic of Sunken World War Two vessels and
ecological disasters waiting to escape their decaying holes. Uh, Tyler,
you point us to wonderful documentary via Youtube called forgotten.
REX are a time bomb, and you kick some numbers
that I want to share with the group with over
(23:33):
eight thousand five hundred shipwrecks worldwide, three fourths of which
are apparently from World War Two. The majority of them
are from the past century. There are six thousand, three
hundred thirty eight World War Two ships containing and estimated,
get this guy's, twenty five million tons of fuel and
oil still sitting in corroding tanks. The German ships mainly
(23:57):
use synthetic oil produced from cold treated with hydrogen high temperatures,
which is more toxic than typical oil at the time.
And just for get this, ships and giggles. I would
also like to add another delightful fun fact. Off The
coast of Norway, Approximately Eight d feet below the surface,
(24:18):
is the Nazi U Boat u six four that was
sunk by the British sub H M s venturer on
February nine. It contains sixty five to sixty seven thousand
tons of mercury, twenty torpedoes and enriched uranium. The exact
numbers are probably kept under wraps, but this sounds worse
(24:40):
than horrible. It would be interesting to hear what you
guys can find out. I look forward to every new episode.
Thank you all and stave. Frosty Tyler what do you think?
We've never covered this? Right, all the ships of years past,
with a little uh, tick tick, tick, tick tick of
underwater corrosion. Yeah, that's really freaky. You just think about
(25:03):
how dangerous a single oil tanker is when it's out,
you know, just in the ocean and it's immobilized and
maybe the whole is compromised in a small way. How
much of an undertaking it is to get that ship
away or out of the water or to repair whatever
is broken so that the thing doesn't just sink to
(25:23):
the bottom and then eventually leak out. Right. That becomes
a huge news story, just the fact that there's so
many vessels down there right now. Like, what the heck
do you do about it? Right, just wait until all
the oceans dry up, like like lake meat, right. Yeah,
it's weird. The lakes are drying up while the ocean
(25:44):
size is increasing right at the same time becoming increasingly unlivable,
sort of like New York. Anyhow. I walked down the
street from that one for that. But yeah, maybe this
is a maybe this is a future episode, because we
know that in the past, uh, the US in particular
(26:04):
has executed some pretty crafty attempts to retrieve shipwrecks covertly,
you know, uh, and given that the oceotic environment is
largely unexplored, especially at the depths, it's kind of hard
to tell what's down there. You know, it's pretty nuts.
(26:26):
I I just don't know whether there is a huge
bill that will come do at some point. You know, Matt,
you point out the issue with oil tankers, right, with
oil rigs. What happens when those things go sideways with this?
(26:46):
I guess maybe our question for the episode would be,
does this create a situation in which there's a massive
outpouring of contaminants, or is it just like adding another
two per to the ongoing catastrophe? I honestly don't know.
What do you guys think? In some ways it's a
drop in the bucket, right, because we know ocean acidification
(27:09):
is probably the major missue, as well as the temperature rise.
I mean, if those are happening, then anything that's in
that water is going to be affected. If you've got
contaminants like this that are isolated, at least for the
most part, to a cloud of stuff that's going to
be contaminating the water. And you have to think about it.
(27:31):
That way they're bigger fish to FRY, but most of
them are whales and citations and things like that, and
that's really messed up. Yeah, I agreed. So this is
maybe a story for a future episode, because we would
have to look at, I don't know, all the sketchy
(27:54):
stuff that goes on in maritime law, all the you know,
the rights of Plun to, the rights of recovery, and
then we would have to look at the inevitable consequences
as as we've mentioned in the past. By the way,
our home state of Georgia here in the United States
is home to a sunken nuclear weapon. It is off
(28:18):
the coast of Savanda. Everybody knows it's there somewhere. It
is yet to be retrieved. We're just kind of hoping
nothing bumps it. Yeah, right, I think about that Word
Savannah that we I know we talked about that before.
It seems like in order to make a nuclear weapon
(28:38):
do the thing it's meant to do, it was born
to do, and start a chain reaction that makes a
big old boomy boom, you have to trigger it in
a certain way. You can't just explode it right. So
that's I'm not as worried about that one um but
lingering effects of radioactive waste and or, you know, nuclear
(29:00):
facial materials, that that does worry me. Well, added to
the list right of things to think about. We don't
want to end out a doubter or make things too
worries and give us your give us your input, give
us your experience with tracking shipwrecks. There are people who
professionally go out to find these uh, they are treasure hunters,
(29:23):
history hunters. If you're in the audience, we would love
to hear from you and share your story so that
we end on an up note. Or maybe a Groan there.
There's one last thing I want to share, apart from
someone calling themselves humorous Harry. Did you all see the
email from humorous Harry? H I've heard about it. I
(29:49):
hear tell, Tell. Okay, all right, okay, we'll just we'll
do a few of these so that we don't get fired.
These are ten, ten terrible jokes, and Harry, I say
that with profound respect and immense affection. Humorist Harry says,
as always, loved the show. Keep up the excellent work,
(30:10):
just to give something back for all that you have
given me. Editorial note here. I don't know if that
is like a thank you or if he's telling us
this is revenge. Harry says. These are some of the
most recent jokes I created. Enjoy you guys ready. Oh God, yes,
(30:31):
what money does bigfoot use? This is an easy one.
I think we can guess. Saskuh, SASS SAS coin, SAS SAS,
SAS quarters. I like that one. Nol, I think that's okay.
He says cryptid currency. Oh Ok, I like SAS quarters.
(30:52):
Like it's because it's got the queue, it's got the
que in there, you know. And then the better sasquatch, Sasquat,
a good mouth feel, you would say. Case anybody, in
case anybody, missed the chip. It's it's better than buckfoot.
UH So why did? Why did the cryptocurrency owner go
to the dentist? They chipped the tooth when they pit coin. Oh,
(31:17):
just like someone an old pirate would. Do you want
to make sure that there was gold in them doubloons?
I want to. I want to keep this punchy. So
do you guys pull up the email too, so we
could round robin this a little bit while you're looking
for it? Uh, I'll just say. Why did Scotty from
Star Trek throw clowns into the warp drive? Why is
that met? Because, Captain Kirk said, I need full power.
(31:38):
I need full power. I've got one if you don't mind.
It's not on the list, but I just I've been
watching this amazing Australian show called Mr in between, and
the joke is what do uh, what do the starship
enterprise and toilet paper have in common? What's that? They
both search your anus for Klingons. It's good, it's not good. No,
(32:03):
it's just you know, they're not, wait for it, inner
system explorers on Star Trek. Geez, alright. Why was the
energizer buddy taken to jail? It was arrested for battery. Tut,
Tut hair. I never trusted that bunny. Those dark glasses.
(32:25):
Why would you show us your eyes, bunny? How about
this one? What kind of comedy do you get in
the desert? I don't know what. Dry Humor, a slow,
painful starvation. Okay, Um. What kind of toast do Dalmatian
owners like? Oh, I don't know what. Pure bread. That's
(32:48):
pure bread. It's kind of buddy. It's kind of like
those compilations from like the early ots or late nineties,
pure moods. This is pure bread, you know. Yeah, no adulter. Okay,
you know what, we're just gonna do one more and
then we're gonna wrap the show. Uh, Harry, you asked
(33:09):
what do female fish where to feel Alluri can I
get and I don't know what should tell us o
fish nets dot. I hope you've given us the appropriate
sound cute grons here, but I don't know about you guys.
I love this, Harry. You took the time out of
(33:30):
your day to, uh, to create jokes for your fellow
conspiracy realists, and you sent a lot. Uh, we're reading
some of them, but we we love this stuff. Uh,
you know, you could call them dad jokes, you can
call them puns, but you know, nowadays and these are
(33:50):
dark times, any chuckle, I think, is worth its weight
in gold and Crypto and Bitcoin and lithium and Um,
other things, other things. Yeah, you know, Harry reminds me
a lot of the sound person we worked with yesterday,
ran ran. That guy had some zingers. He had some
zingers and and he and he just float them in
(34:13):
and you'd barely even notice until you were like, I've
been sliced comedy. Yeah, he's got. He's got what the
British call a pattern. Uh. So, thank you, as always,
to everyone who spends the time, the only real currency
of our age, tuning in. We love sharing stories from
