Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Everybody. Uh, check out theDread Excitabus, the new podcast we got
going on. It's scripted fiction.It's really fun. I've been working hard
on that one too, and wewill see you soon on the next episode
of the Kentucky X Files. Sotake care of each other and we'll see
you. H you want to makesure there's gonna be twisted turns and ups

(00:58):
and downs. That's rights, sometimesin different orders than that, sometimes rights
and lefts and downs and ups,a lot of downs. Fuck. Welcome
back, guys to your Kentucky XFiles. Who ha who who? Who?

(01:23):
Do you will immediately notice that weare two out of three. Josh
has had it benefit well, acar show benefit something, and uh yeah,
he sent us some some videos andpictures to shay you guys later on,
so we'll put them up. Butuh, you got it's it's us,
You got us, got us todayand uh woe is us. It's

(01:49):
a it's interesting times. And uh, I'm gonna get this one out of
the way first. I wanna,I wanna bring this right up to the
table and get it over with becauseit hurts me. The white northern rhino
is fundamentally extinct, and that isa huge bummer. I don't know if

(02:14):
you heard about this, ty,did you hear about this? There was
there was three left in the world, and the male died in twenty eighteen.
The females there's two females left andboth of them are too old now
to carry a calf to full term. So unfortunately, the white rhino is

(02:34):
it's done. There's programs, youknow that possibly could help, but they're
too fucking busy working on mammoth ballswith balls. As you no doubt listeners
have heard about in a previous episode, there's people trying to bring the Dodo
back. There's people trying to,you know, bring the saber tooth tiger

(02:58):
peck, mammoths peck all this othership, while the white rhino just sits
there and goes about. It's youknow, it's last little bit and it
wouldn't be a big deal, butit is kind of our fault. Like
so, well, the white rhinois a little different from other rhinos because

(03:23):
they're a lot more but I said, I guess they're they're not as aggressive
as some of the other rhino species, so they're they're kind of like they
hang out in big herds. Theykind of they're more sociable. They're not.
They don't just take off charging atyou because you're you there. So
that behavior alone made them very veryeasy to proach. Okay, so people

(03:50):
were basically just killing these shit outof them for their for their ivory and
and whatnot. And unfortunately we're atthe we're at the tail end of that.
Now we've lived long enough to watchseveral species go extinct and here we
are. Yeah, so yeah,that's a huge bummer. And then somebody

(04:13):
had said something there. Somebody wastrying to harvest what do you call it,
like, uh, harvest the eggsthat the females may still have,
just try to see if they couldfertilize them and put them in a different
rhino to carry the calf to fullterm. But unfortunately rhino is there a

(04:34):
type of animal that doesn't interbreed verywell, you know, they don't.
They don't do so hot with that, Like, it doesn't doesn't work half
the time. But seriously, liketo me, this is a major bummer.
This is a huge loss because it'sit's a species that's not going to
be here anymore. And we didthat, you know, And and some

(04:58):
people are like, well, youknow it happened Survival of the fittest.
Yeah, totally, But tell methat again when it's the last two people
on Earth. But I when theysay survival of fittest, like, okay,
by all means Like I I thinkhunting hunting for your food is one

(05:18):
thing, sure, but when youput a dollar value on just it's like
some parts of this animal. Yeah, that's that's where it gets wrong.
I don't feel like that's right,Like, especially destroying a population of an
animal just because you want its horn. That's like it's ivory like, so

(05:41):
that's like, that's not survival ofthe fittest. That's that's exploiting. Like
like what it was the especially likewhat type of I don't know if this
was a I think it was likea gorilla thing, but uh they poached
gorillas for like their hands other handto make him. Yeah, that's that's

(06:02):
ridiculous. Go to an arts andcraft store or get some clay, make
your own fucking ass straight. Doyou really need a freaking gorilla han to
do that? It's stupid. That'snot survival of fitness. That's just being
er like I guess, self centered, like you're wanting Yeah, you're just

(06:23):
wanting an extravagant thing and you're willingto kill something for it. It's just
like going because my neighbor has aside by side and I'm gonna shoot him
in the face just because I wantedside by side. That's that's stupid,
Like, come on, does yourneighbor have a side by side? He
does, and it's really nice.We need to disclaim here that now he

(06:45):
doesn't actually want his I don't likeI would if I gotta work hard for
it, but I wouldn't shoot himin the face, Like come on,
I like, I just said it'sstupid that way. And that's when the
show turned a true crime. Justlike GAT, we slipped into a different
genre. There's gonna be like avideo clip of me saying all this stuff,

(07:09):
and then there's gonna be another newsclip. Man charged today for shooting
his neighbor in the face because hewanted to side by side, and it's
just me like like like holding upthe sign. It's like shit, yeah,
it's true. And then they'll haveme on camera and I'll be like
he was so quiet, so quiet, it was just so quiet, and

(07:31):
they'll be like, why are yousaying that? I'm like, I thought
that's what you're supposed to say.He was so quiet. I never saw
it Covin. I mean I didbecause he said it. But other than
that, I yeah, you knowwhat I mean, Yeah, I thought
he was being facetious. Does thismake me an accomplish because I'm like,
I'm sitting here like listening, andwell, that's if you believe that I

(07:55):
would do it. Do you believethat I would do it? It's just
so quiet I'm talking right now,you're quietly talking, quietly quiet. I
don't know. Yeah, I mean, I don't think you're shoot a guy
for a side by side, right, I mean, like, I'm sixty
eight percent sure that you wouldn't wouldn'tdo that. I'm going to get a

(08:20):
call. I'm going to get acall now because of this. Thank you.
Yeah. We were just trying tomake like talk about the white rhino,
and that's going to be your serialkiller name. They're going to call
you the white rhino, the whiteright. This is where the white right
outs. So uh, I gotanother one here that's somewhat related to this.

(08:48):
I think I'm going to go aheadand share this one with you,
because this one's this was this one'spretty wild? Uh? Of that here?
Yeah, there we go. Okay, so this was caught on camera.

(09:09):
Really I thought the last one wasrecognize this guy tas Median tiger.
Apparently somebody finally snapped a picture ofthis thing, and the jury's out with
the experts. They they're having atough time disproving it. M So,

(09:37):
I don't know what to think aboutthis, but I mean, like,
look at that the elongated jaw,all that stuff. I mean, I
know there's been rumors of this forfor years. Yeah, there's been a
lot of rumors of this thing,that this thing was out there, that
it was still alive in small numbersor whatever. Uh, I don't know,

(10:05):
but it's pretty wild because we justtraded a rhino for it, you
know what I mean, Like we'relosing a species, but there's a potential
that an extinct species might still bearound. I think that's pretty fascinating.
But yeah, it's this has beenall over the place, like everybody's been

(10:26):
talking about this for the last coupleof weeks, that that this uh,
that this was some guy snapped somepictures as quick as he could of this
thing while it was insight just todo it, and it's all over.
It's everywhere you can. You cango like anywhere on Facebook. You can
find pictures of this thing. Nowyou can. Like there's like like big

(10:48):
Time News is talking about it,and a lot of people's first impression is
that it's legit, like it's it'sthe real thing. I don't know,
holy shit, the thylocene, youknow, just saying they definitely need to
get a hold of whoever took thosepictures and figure out where it is,

(11:09):
because you know, somebody's out there, like I gotta shoot that in the
face. Yeah, it's like probablythat's what's would happen, is is somebody
It'll be like, dude, wehave proof that the thiloscene is still alive,
and somebody will be like come outof nowhere and just like shoot it.
And it's like, well that wasthat's ever. They're gone now.

(11:31):
But I mean, if there's one, then it came from somewhere. So
I just can't beat there, youknow what I mean. Yeah, I
was just about to say that,like because I've been hearing about this that
people had sightings of these things forfor years. Yeah, and like I
don't does is there any idea oflike their lifespan not to I know,

(12:00):
no, I mean, at leastnot that anybody really you know, I
can say definitively. I think Idon't really know. Yeah, because that's
what I'm saying is like, ifthis was the last one, man,
it is resilient because for years,it's like just kept going no other predators.

(12:22):
Uh got it, Like it's it'sthat's crazy. It's wild, man.
I mean, I don't know,I don't really know what to think.
It's it's cool as hell. LikeI hope it's I hope it's all
legit. I hope they you know, it all turns out to be just

(12:43):
absolutely true. I want to seeit. I'd like to see the thing.
I mean, to know that thisthing that was lost to history might
be out there is really fascinating,that's really cool. No. I searched
for everything. I searched for forall kinds of different stuff to get into.
Uh. I found that I've beenholding onto that one for a couple
of weeks. You guys probably realizedby now that we've been recording one gigantic

(13:07):
episode and then we break it upand and send it out over over a
few weeks. Or whatever, andit gives us time to look for things
and and build up some some contentfor you and and to get on here
and bullshit it out. You know, last Friday we was hanging out.

(13:28):
Uh we actually got accidentally caught theborealis. That was pretty bad ass.
Didn't was going to happen? Thatwas that was pretty bad ass because we
were all literally sitting there like whatthat well, you remember Starlank wentever and

(13:50):
we were all like, yeah,yeah, Starlank. I thought Starlink was
still just three satellites that that's that'sso fucking train. Now it's got it's
just chugging along. I wonder ifhe wants to eventually have like one stream
just around. Yeah, like younever not like you never don't see it.

(14:15):
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty prettybad ass, you know. But
it was cool is to get tolike kind of experience that and see it.
You know. I remember last yearwhen I was still in the camper.
I remember seeing it on the newsthat you'd be able to see the
borealis and I just kept going outsideand looking and trying, and it was

(14:37):
like it just I could never seeit from where I was at. But
I didn't even know this one washappening, and we were sitting there having
a beer, bullshitting, and thereit is. There's a Borealis just in
all its glory right above us.And that was bad ass. I thought
I snapped a picture of it,but I don't know if I did.
I can't remember. I know mydaughter she she took a bunch of pictures

(15:00):
of it. Yeah, I don't. I don't think I did. I
often don't do that. I oftenforget. I'm gonna see if she's got
some pictures up here and I canshow. Yeah, she sure did.

(15:46):
Mhm. Sorry, people, I'mback. I was cold when I first,
when I first started, so Ihad my hoodie on and now I'm
hot, so I had to change. I had to change into a street
but yeah, uh, I immediatelystarted saying it's in the times when I

(16:07):
saw it. I don't know ifanybody else out there. I don't like.
This is the reason why no onereally like listens to me because a
lot of my information comes from movies. Yeah, that's why people like you
shouldn't listen to me. But dude, if anybody's seen the core when you
see, I'm not even gonna saythat, like the northern lights around here.

(16:33):
The core is destabilizing. It's itstopped spinning. So we're we're like,
we're we're about to it's in thedays, it's in the days.
I still't I still think it is. I mean we're dead. I don't.
I don't think that's the case.I think that you know, like
there there it is. That's thepictures my my daughter snapped. You're seeing

(16:56):
like a screenshot out of a screenshothere, so so sorry, And there's
the other it's like pretty similar.I guess if I do this, it
looks like it's moving. That's reallycool. I was super stoked. This
has been a year of shit happeningin the skies though. The yeah,

(17:18):
the old what do you call it? The eclipse happened. That was pretty
badass. I just I just loveI think I said this on our last
big, big episode when the eclipsehappened. Uh. They Google said that
they had a uptick right after likethe like day like a day after the

(17:41):
eclipse happened. They had a bigsearch on why does my eyes hurt?
That was day like a day afterthey the eclipse happened, because you fucking
stared at the sun. Yeah,staring at the sound do that it was

(18:02):
pretty cool during the eclipse. Iwas I was actually working on my little
one of my little lawnmowers out there, and it was slowly getting darker outside,
and yeah, I was kind oflike, that's pretty badass, you
know, like it's cool that Iwas out there. I wasn't staring at
the sun by any means, butuh, I did set up my GoPro
and set up a time lapse thatwas kind of cool. But uh,

(18:26):
in the end, the time lapseturned out to be very very uneventful because
it was literally just aimed kind ofat the sky with the sun offset and
then it just got dark and thenit got bright again. But it's a
time lapse, so it took areally long time for it to do it.
And I was like, this didn'tadd anything at anything for anyone,

(18:53):
So I just kind of gave upon that. It is what it is.
Let's see here. H got somepictures that came through for uh kay,

(19:14):
let's see here. H m hmh. Josh sent us over some

(19:37):
pictures of some cars that he's lookingat at the the old fundraiser. I'm
gonna put some of these up sowe can check them out. H m
hm mhm. See here here wego. All right, let's see what

(20:07):
he's got here. Look at that. Oh that is nice. Let's keep
on cruising here. Wow. Niceraph kind of a little bit blurry on
my end. Yeah, so isthat one? Huh some raptors looks like,

(20:32):
what is that? Yeah? Littledinosaurs boom? Look at that.
Oh yeah, let's say he's havingfinal least. Oh man, Let's see
what else I got here. Iknow, see I saved some other ship.

(21:02):
Oh yeah, yeah. Turns out, in the spirit of the ill
the disclosure, a congressman has basically, well it's Congressman Tim Burchette. Hopefully
I'm saying that right, or Burshettor whatever. He authored a bill,

(21:25):
uh, basically that he wants toforce the government into releasing the rest of
their classified UFO documents. Good luck, good luck. I don't know what
to say. I want to believeit's gonna work. He's gonna he's gonna

(21:48):
get in there and he's gonna strongarm him. But it's like, if
these these same people that you're tryingto to forest are the ones that have
to sign your ill in to fuckingthe law, you know, what I
mean, like, yeah, Ican't imagine them being like, Okay,

(22:08):
let's see what you got here.Okay, so you've this forces us to
give you all the classified ship thatwe got. Sign here seems pretty harmless.
Oh you gott us Like really,they're going to release it, but

(22:30):
it's just gonna be black lines.Yeah that which it was a joke,
wasn't it. Yeah, just redactedafter redacted after redacted. Yeah, it's
like why, yeah, yeah,you really told us a lot. Yeah.
I don't know. I want tosee it. I want to see

(22:52):
I'd love to see just full truthfuldisclosure, just bringing out into the open.
Let's see everything. Let's get this, let's get this show on the
road. Let's let's start working onthis. As a species. I've always
like I was talking to uh one, like one of the guys at work.
He started like talking about this.He he was saying that his wife

(23:15):
was like a huge like like Iguess, I guess you would say,
an advocate of like all these likeweird like UFOs, Yeah, like scared
for the end of days, allthis kind of stuff. And I was
telling them my opinions about a lotof stuff. I was like, I
like to take take things at like, uh not at face value because I

(23:41):
wasn't there, Like even I wastalking about the like UFOs the moon landing,
say there's there's bear, like abearing like I feel like on both
sides, and I go to whatlike we always say is like who doesn't
benefit? Like why would they dothat? Why would they make make it

(24:03):
up? So like you got tothink about it, like especially like the
moon landing, like I wasn't there. I wasn't alive, right, But
the idea of faking it because you'rebasically trying to tell the Soviets like,
hey where you were better? Wemade it to the moon before you,
so back off. I get thatsaying that they faked the moon landing,

(24:30):
but then like saying, like havewe been to the moon? I do
believe that we have, sure,But it could the first moon landing be
a hoax. Maybe I don't knowwhat's it there. I don't know the
actual real proof because no one's evergoing to really disclose even if it was
a fake. There's no such thing, Like they'll never admit to that,

(24:56):
Like they'll never admit that they fakedit just because they wanted to. Uh
uh basically fake it just so theycan look better in front of the Soviets,
Right, So I even said,like, uh said uh about the

(25:18):
like UFOs. Okay, we talkedabout Bob Blazar. A lot of the
stuff that he talks about and stufflike some of it came true. Like
I guess I can't remember everything hesaid, but a lot of the stuff
that he said is true. Uh, it came to be. But uh,

(25:41):
what I keep thinking the government doesis how it's easier. Okay,
everybody thinks, like, oh,if I start talking about this, I'm
gonna even if it is the truth, if I get if I start talking
about this, they'll they'll have methrown out in the middle of the desert,
never to be seen again. Ithink that's that's bool. Like once

(26:03):
you start talking about it on theinternet, especially how easy it is to
start a guest and start talking aboutYeah, that's making that person's words true,
like no matter, like you're basicallymaking that person a martyr. But
if you keep letting him talk spewingthis crazy stuff, it's true. It's

(26:29):
easier to manipulate the media to saythis person's crazy. That's sure. Yeah,
because the things people say that they'veseen is crazy. No one wants
to believe, like believe that theseare real. So it's easier to just
let him talk and just kind oflike sprinkle like he's a lunatic, he

(26:56):
doesn't know what he's talking. Yeah, talk because well, I mean yeah,
because he can sound crazy. Yeah, let him shoot himself in the
foot, even though that he's tellingyou the genuine truth. Because we do
that today, even with stuff that'snot like that, uh like like UFOs

(27:21):
or anything. We do that today, Like somebody could like do we convict
people on very little evidence just becausetheir story doesn't seem believable, and then
they'll come to find out that hewas that person was telling the truth the
whole time. So that's what I'mkind of like going off of, is
that we do that in like simplethings. If crazy thing happens and this

(27:47):
person's talking about it, just himtalk whatever, you Uh. I put
it in a way of like hidingin plain sight. That's why we let
all these people talk about these things. It is because it's easier just to
make them look crazy than it isto silence them. Yeah, that's true.

(28:14):
I mean, I mean, shit, did even Neil Armstrong like towards
the end was saying all kinds ofcrazy ship. Remember remember hearing about that.
I thought it was uh like abuzz all. Yeah, he's saying
that they like yeah, but Ican't I thought I saw a video of
them. They manipulated the audio LikeI can't say they manipulated, but they

(28:36):
could it. You know how theydo it. Something looks different than what
it like. They they start thethe audio like way before the the actual
or they took one little word outand it changes the whole narrative of the
of the story. So back beforethey had AI, yeah, now you

(29:00):
got AI. Videos of buzz Aldrinlike trying to sell your car insurance and
ship. Yeah, I don't knowhow many times freaking uh Joe Rogan's trying
to sell me supplements. Yeah yeah, Joe Rogan's just like selling supplements out
of his car now. I meangoing along with that one though. It's

(29:22):
like he does that ship on hisshow anyway. Yeah, so they're yea
too, because he'll be sitting theretalking and he's like really really good,
and all of a sudden he's like, you may not know this, but
health is actually really important to me, and you're just like, what what
huh? What what about the damngot me again, babe. I've seen

(29:45):
those videos that Joe Rogan AI videos. They're getting better at him. I
love the ones that actually so thatyou don't try to sync up the audio,
like while you're watching it, they'lldo the captions in front of his
mouth. Yeah, like the wordsthat there's they put in there. They
put the captions over his mouth.And I'm like, you know that he

(30:08):
like the videos that you're splicing togetherso you don't get copyright infringement there,
he's changing like his clothes, likehe's a different T shirt and stuff.
I'm like, you know, thisis all different videos. So yeah,
it's freaking hilarious. Dude. Yeah, I keep seeing that ship. We're

(30:30):
in that age now though I've alreadyseen at least four AI bigfoot videos on
Facebook. Mm hmm. And thatwas the cat killing my camera. I
didn't I didn't notice you notice no, Like, look at that hands handsome

(30:52):
man. Who is that? That'sthe that's not your stunt double. That's
you. That's a picture of you. That's not that's Oh god, here
we go every goddamn time. LookI have them all. I'm like I'm
crooked. Now, hold that meanOkay, we're back. So I don't

(31:18):
know if you could tell, butthe cat is running around losing its mind,
and my cable for my camera happenedto be the casualty there, so
yeah, god damn it. Butyeah, I know it's I've seen that,
like more ridis over there of AIgenerated big but
