In in.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Good evening, and welcome to the hour dedicated to talking
about all things strange, weird, and paranormal. You're listening to
Strange Talk broadcasting on sixteen sixty AM the Northside ninety
one point seven f m HG two wvx U and Cincinnati.
We're also streaming at radio artifact dot com around the
entire planet Earth. The intro track to this episode and
most of our episodes, is the Strange Talk Intrope by
Star Soak and I'm your host.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Alex and I'm your host Creature.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, it's been a minute. Uh, well it's really it's
only been a week. But yeah, just things got a
little little hectic last week, so we're we're glad to
be back this week.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, anything new with you, Creature?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh, just getting over being sick?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, 'tis the season for it?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, everybody out there in radio land watch out. I
think there's a bunch of bugs going around, and not
the cool kind.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They're eight feet tall. That would be worse to have
an eight foot tall bug inside of you. I think
that goes right to like pod people levels of a
bad and wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I think I read a fanfic about that.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We got we got some weird news for you this week.
Some of it is old weird news, some of it's
new weird news. We had a little combination because there's
just some stuff that we just didn't get to talk
about at the time. Do we want to start with
like real old weird news.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Let's start with real old weird news.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, so you mentioned this to me. I knew about
this at the time, but you mentioned this earlier today.
A couple years back, they finally found the secret ingredient
or magic ingredient, whatever you want to call it, that
made ancient Rome's concrete self.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Healing, and that ingredient was love.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yes, it turns out all you need is love. But genuinely,
they did finally find the secret ingredient, which we were
talking about before we started recording. How wild it is
because like when we were in high school, they talked
about this all the time where they were like, nobody
knows how they made it. It's just lost because it
is this thing that they did every day. So they
(03:45):
didn't write it down because they went, well, everyone knows
how to make concrete, turns out you should probably write
it down.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But yeah, because sometimes there's a bug going around.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, the reason that we brought it up speaking of
bugs going around that are eight feet tall, is this
is actually really cool and will probably help with like
a lot of modern bridge infrastructure. So maybe things like,
you know, the Silver Bridge collapse when Mothman was around,
won't happen unless a giant eight foot tall bug is
going around, you know, demolishing bridges.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah. Yes, so as as people as Cryptid fans out
there may know, there's a German version of the Mothman
from like two hundred years ago, and decidedly Germans weren't Roman.
Romans never had to deal with.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Mothman that we know of that They did not write.
They didn't write down how to make concrete. So who
knows if they just didn't write down they're like, oh, yeah,
we hang out with Mothman every day, but we don't
write that down because everybody hangs out with Mothman every day.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's not like he destroys bridges.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Maybe Mothman was the one who created the original you know,
recipe for this concrete, and that's really why he was
at the Silver Bridges. He was guys, guys, come on,
come on, you can make this bridge much better.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Than this.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah. See, I always I always thought it might have
been a Bigfoot that helped him with that. Since he's
a nephilm, he has that magic silly puddy that they
put in there.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I've told you my my wild and out there Mothman theory,
haven't I.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
This is my fully untrue, but I think it's really funny.
Mothman theory is that he is actually just a black
ops ocean specter. He is deeply undercover, and that is
why he was out there doing the Silver Bridge collapse
because he was like, guys, come on, this bridge is
not cutting it, and he was trying to prevent disaster.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You know, I haven't heard that, but I do love
that idea.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, you haven't heard it because I think I'm the
only one who is saying this because it is fully untrue.
I just think it's fun.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But I mean, if nig if Bigfoot's a nephialem, then
I think anything's possible.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Why not? Why not?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Why not? But yes, uh, for all your uh, for
all your construction needs, build Roman.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, and it is really cool that they finally figured
it out, you know, some thousand something years.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Actually it actually they really is yes, you know, you
don't have to hear people's fun facts any more of that.
We don't know how Romans built concrete.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We were not planning on talking about this, but I've
been holding onto this one because I at some point
it did not happen for our hundredth episode, but at
some point I would like to do a a sort
of a collective look back through our past episodes of
things we've talked about that we have now found answers to, Oh,
(06:47):
that'd be sick. And I have one that they have
found an answer to. One of the very first UH
online episodes that we ever did. So there's no recording
of this. It is not out there anywhere anymore. Was
we were talking about the bloop? Do you know about
the bloop?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I do not enlighten me.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So the bloop was a very loud, low frequency sound
that was recorded in the ocean in nineteen ninety seven,
the National Blue Yes, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NOAH discovered that the bloop was an ice quake caused
by an iceberg breaking away from an Antarctic glacier. So
(07:27):
we finally have an answer to that. This was found
like a number of years back now, But I'm really
excited that there's an answer now because when we talked
about it, it was just this mysterious noise in the
ocean and nobody knew what was causing it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I got it, I do, I do actually know about
the bloop and the iceberg thing. When you said the bloop,
my brain just automatically assumed it was some kind of
like cryptid with a goofy name.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
No, it's a great cryptid name though. Yeah. Yeah, I
just think it would be cool at some point to
do a retrospect of these things that we've talked about,
where now there's an answer to some of those things.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That would be really cool actually, like the yeah, because
remember theies where.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
They I can't watch those because I get mad when
there's not an answer because I want to know.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
God.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But like I said, I'm so stoked that this thing
that we talked about forever ago finally has an answer
because like at the time, the blop was freaky because
like we couldn't imagine, you know, what could cause that
kind of noise. But we have a lot better technology now,
so yeah, I guess m.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Oh. I was just gonna say there was a that's
one of those things that, like you, you hear about it,
but then like you, uh, you don't think about it
for a few years. And because like you said, with
unsolved mysteries, I have to have their wiki open when
I watch it, Yeah, just to look in and see if,
like the fan base.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Has like found more details. Yeah, that's smart. I just
I get stressed about it where I'm like, I know
we're gonna get to the end and they're gonna be
like and no one knows this day, and I'm gonna
be like, somebody has to know someone, well.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They know and they ain't telling them.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Probably moving on to our yeah, say, moving on to
our next weird news article. This one is a little
more modern. I tossed this one in the mix here
just because I thought that this was an interesting thing.
This is from Mental Floss, which normally I would not
get news from there because it's not really trustworthy. But
there's nothing to like, miss miss a journalist miss write
(09:41):
about here. I couldn't think of the word, but uh,
the National Archives is looking for volunteers with a superpower
reading cursive such a clickbait headline. Sorry Jake Rowson who
wrote this, but I do think it's actually just cool
that the National Archives is looking for people who can
read cursive to help. They're trying to transcribe paperwork from
(10:03):
veterans of the Revolutionary War. So there's like about eighty
thousand files compromising two point three million pages which date
between eighteen hundred and nineteen twelve, and there's all kinds
of stuff in there, and it's like a lot of
it's being excavated for the first time. But they're just
they're having trouble finding people who can read cursive and
(10:24):
can translate some of that because, you know, especially back then,
people were writing so much more that you know, a
lot of it tends to end up in a little
bit of shorthand.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
So yeah, yeah, I actually it's funny. I when I
was a kid, I couldn't I never could learn how
to write cursive. I just never clicked with me.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I and I learned cursive and like write Like the
week after I learned it was when the No Child
Left Behind Act got passed, so they had to reteach
us the uh lock cursive that I think looks like garbage,
and so I was so mad about it that I
(11:05):
just stopped writing cursive after that where I went. Well,
I had it and it looked nice, and now you're
making me write it like all blocky and terrible looking,
and I don't want to do that, So now I
just don't.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You. You probably remember this because you're close enough in
age to me. When I was a kid, they always
told us, like, you have to learn how to write cursive.
You're not going to be able to make it like
in the world if you can't.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh yeah, no, the deft And then they got rid
of curs. Well in the same way. You remember when
they were teaching us math and they're like, you won't
always have a calculator in your pocket. And now I'm like,
joke's on you. In fact, we have calculators everywhere we
go now, computers, phones, you name it. I still try
to do math on paper though, just so I don't
lose that skill personally.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
If you forget your phone, someone else will have a calculator.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You'll find one. They're out there, They're ready to do math.
Uh you know, Actually that's funny. You mentioned your age though,
creature because you are some form of creature.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I am.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
How old are you? Am I allowed to ask, though?
Are you like sixteen? Hundred years old.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm roughly between thirty and about forty five thousand years old.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh awesome, awesome, so you've seen something. You were probably
there when the Blue happened.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Actually, I was the blue.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's the real reason that you didn't remember it was
called the bluep because you were there and you're like, oh,
why are people calling it the bloop? It was just
a nice quake.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, I was just I was just out in Alaska,
just jumping around Antarctica, Alaska, you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And you know, they all didn't really have such names
at the time. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Before a man crawled out of the ocean and the
primordial I was there every day.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Well, you didn't have trampolines yet, so you know, you
were really waiting for man to crawl out of the
water to invent trampolines for you.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
You know, I gotta say that first really sucked.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I really wish we would have just stayed in the water.
Some days I do too, But you got trampolines out
of it, so you know, win win, I guess. But yeah,
before we get two sidetracked, I just figured I would
mention that in case any listeners. You know, you're listening
and you're like, you know what, I can recursive and
(13:35):
I think it would be cool to try to translate
some revolutionary wharf documents. You can go collaborate. By the way,
apparently this is in collaborations with the National Park Service
and it is called the Citizen Archivist Project.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That would make sense because a lot of the forts
that they use are like part of the park systems.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I you know, thank you, because I was kind of
wondering why it was the Park Service.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But yeah, because that's a lot of that. And they
have like a lot of their museums and the parks
and stuff that are just like, here's a broom. If
only we knew some people that worked in museums.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I cannot name a single person that works in a museum.
In fact, I think that museums may not be real.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You know, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
We definitely have never had on a guest who is
the founder of the Museum of make Believe? And maybe
the museums named that because museums are not real.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You know what. Mystery solved? Mystery solved. That's another one
for the banks. That's three mysteries in the last like
twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We have all your answers here. Do you want to
talk about our next article here?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Uh? Yes, I can. I'm assuming you're talking about the
UFOs filmed in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No, I was gonna go to the Corpse Flower next.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Oh, okay, we can do that too.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
We'll talk about the UFOs at the end, because I
think that'll give some people some things to think on.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
A little, a little how the sausage is made. Talk
I have everything in reverse.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh, it's because we're going through them in the reverse order. Yeah,
it's okay, we're organized, but then I do things backwards.
That's a joke. We're not organized, or I'm not. I
won't speak for you. I'm not organized. I'm trying my
best here. I'm fighting too the nail to hang on
(15:35):
to any semblance of reality. Actually this is a full
on the side, but you seem to enjoy this, so
maybe I will read this here. So I've been playing
a lot of the SIMS lately, because you know, like
general reality is a little too much right now, and
(15:55):
it's a lot easier to just, you know, play the
SIMS where you know your needs can all be easily
met and you can just use cheat codes if you
really really need to. But I decided to make the
Scooby Doo Gang in there, because you know why not,
Like that's fun and also just I happened to notice
that a couple of the items in there, I was like, Wow,
I could actually make the Scooby Gang here, Like I
found an outfit that was friends with like the Orange
(16:15):
Gazscot and everything. I went, wow, I could make the
Scooby Gang, which is cool and fine and great, except
Scooby Scooby Doo himself keeps keeps slitching out. The game
doesn't seem to really know what to do with dogs.
And when I was playing the other day, he just suddenly,
like mid action, just started staring off into the distance
(16:37):
and then slowly walking away into the distance, just like
not running, just step step step, looking straight ahead, and
nothing you did. You could not interact with him. You
would like call him back. He didn't. He didn't hear it.
He didn't do anything you would like say, hey, let's
go play. He would just keep walking. He started going
through walls, and he just kept going, like into the sunset.
(17:00):
So I wrote this thing that this is what I
was thinking was happening at the time. He just slowly
walks into the sunset as his friends are calling to him,
Scooby Doo, where are you, but he cannot hear them.
He has seen too much and he can no longer
interact with the mundane mortal coil his friends live on.
He keeps walking slowly, one paw after the other after
(17:23):
the other, blankly staring into the distance, seeing some void
beyond the stars, perhaps seeing past time and space itself.
There is nothing anymore but each paw in front of
the other, and it begins to feel like that's all
there ever was, and all there ever will be. Scooby Doo,
where are you? Everywhere, he thinks, and nowhere all at once,
(17:45):
maybe somewhere beyond where even Scooby snacks have no sway,
And Scooby keeps on going and going and going until
the cosmos are no more. And this is what I
was thinking was happening to this poor glitched out who
I believe is now in another dimension until you just
(18:05):
save and close and reopen the game, and then he's
fine and everything went back to normal until Shaggy tried
to pet him in his arms bent back behind him
like he was possessed. So I love technology.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I remember you sending that to me. I don't think
you know this, but that was like one of the
first things I read as soon as I woke up.
You're like, maing on.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
What is happening? I'm not really sure either, Like I
really felt like I was losing my mind. Like I
feel like I too saw something that I was not
meant to see instead of every so often. Yeah, poor guy. Anyway, sorry,
full on a side. Let's talk about the corpse flower.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Well, uh, for our drop bears down under the corpse flower.
If you guys own a corpse flower, I believe it
blooms once every like one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It's pretty pretty rare.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
It is very rare, but it smells like a corpse
so it's pretty funny when it blooms. But it is
going off down in Sydney. Staff at the Gardens revealed
that they consider putting vomit bags in the room where
crowds lined up to get a whiff of what many
(19:27):
describe as rotting smell. People have stood in line for
hours the Sydney green House to get a whiff of
the infamous corpse flower as it bloomed for the first
time in years. Okay, so hell, you guys don't know. Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I looked it up and apparently it blooms for two
to three days once every two to three years, so
not as rare as I thought. The one that blooms
every one hundred years is the Agave americana, known as
a century plant, because it typically blooms once every one
hundred years at the end of its life cycle. Interesting,
I thought it was. I thought the corpse flower blooming
was much rarer than that. I think it's more just
(20:05):
it's it's rare to catch a sight of it, just
because there are not that many in the world, I'm guessing.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
So the one that smells like dead bodies happens a
lot more often. That's that sounds about on track for reality.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I kind of yeah, it's it's really rare. There's about
a thousand worldwide. It actually says in this article. I
kind of wonder if they had to like get a
corner to come in to be like, hey, can you
tell us if this smells like a dead body, Like,
how did they verify that that is what this smells like.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I'd like to imagine it's just some old hillbilly that's lacked.
I smells lack a dead body I remember in Vietnam. Jeez,
I'm gonna I'm going to abandon this bit before it
gets more sad.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah. Well, speaking of sad, I have an older article
that I wanted to bring up. This is from November
of last year from MPR, written by James do Beck.
Or fish keep washing ashore in California, and some say
that that could be a bad omen. Or fish are
super cool looking by the way, but yeah, deep sea
(21:10):
creature steeped in folklore has once again once again washed
ashore in California. So I was kind of mentioning this
because they are you know, there's a lot of folklore
surrounding or fish, so I thought that that was interesting.
A lot of old sea monster sightings. A lot of
people think that it could have been or fish. I
(21:31):
know that there's like legends of or fish in Japan
as well, but I'm not super familiar with it. So
if you know more about you know, Japanese folklore on
ar fish, I would love to know more. I know
that they're called like the earthquake fish there, but that's
about all I know.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I know that, yeah, they have like the uh there's
pictures of them see how Japan likes to make like
everything into a mass m h. There are cute like
chibi versions of them all over Japan, for like earthquake shelters.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Oh so actually this makes sense this as I scrolled down,
this says that they're considered an omen of natural disasters
and they can usually predict earthquakes. So therefore earthquakes usually
tsunamis are tied to that. So that makes sense, and
that kind of makes them in a way like kind
of like how Mothman was an omen of natural disaster,
(22:32):
So we just found a way to link or fish
and you know.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Mothman now all and now that they're in California, we
can let Californians know that there's going to be an
earthquake in California.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Well, they're washing up ashore, so maybe that's a bad
sign that there's about to be a massive one. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah, well, you know, the California is in a great
way right now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, nothing bad's happening there.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I would like to say everybody out in California, I sincerely.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Hope that Yeah, I hope you all.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We we sincerely leave our heart to yours. Hope you
guys are doing all right. Yeah, and if you can
stay away from the ground.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, it is not good. There's a lot of not
good happening happening right now. Which, speaking of, we have
some more depressing news. Do you wanna do you want
to talk about the next one?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I would Uh. This kind of involves a chat we
give occasionally. Two men were found dead from exposure after
looking for sasquatch on my mouse giving me trouble.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
This is from last December, while your mouse is trying
to cooperate.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yes, two men from Oregon who went missing after going
on a search for sasquatch have been found dead, Washington
state officials announced Saturday. The men, both from Portland, So Oregon,
were reported missing by a family member on Christmas Day,
and we're set to return from searching their legendary creature
(24:17):
in eastern Maya County. Sky Mania, That's how I'm pronouncing.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It, Skamnia. They just really love ska there.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Scott Christmas Eve. According to the county Sheriff's office, a
search was launched and a vehicle associated with the two
men was found off a road near Willard.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Wash, Washington. I don't know why they shortened it like that.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah, you know, it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
That's very strange that they shortened it like that, but okay.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
But yeah, uh yeah, just so you guys know me,
me and Alex have both done some crypti hunting in
the past.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, well we've talked about the goat Man Bridge on
here too, of just like, you know, don't go on
the tracks. It's a bad idea. And part of why
I wanted to talk about this article was their because
of death appears to be because of exposure based on
weather conditions and ill preparedness. Yeah, and this is really
really sad, and we love that everyone wants to go
(25:22):
out and go cryptid hunting, but we want everyone to
be prepared so that way you can come home safe
and tell us your stories. So that's part of why
I wanted to talk about it, and part of why
we give these talks is because we want people to
come back safely, like we want people to Cryptid hunting
is really interesting and it can be a lot of fun,
but it can also be really dangerous and I don't
(25:44):
want people to die doing it that that's not good.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Obviously, you're going to go into the woods, guys, like,
be prepared to go into the woods. Whether it's cryptids
or not.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, you have to know the weather. You have to
like make sure you bring all of the things necessary
for whatever that weather and temperature might be.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And it just like that's heartbreaking that these two were
reported missing on Christmas Day.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, and you know, yeah, that's that's the thing too,
is like I mean, now, if you if you enjoy
going out into the wilderness in the winter, I totally
get that. You know, I'm from the South, I've been
hunting before.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But you just have to make sure you're prepared.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Be prepared, like if you're going to go crypti hunting.
Like also, I usually kind of recommend it's going in
like the spring and summer.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You know, it's yeah, unless unless you are someone who
goes out in sort of dangerous conditions regularly, I recommend
bringing someone experience with you the first time if you're
going in dangerous conditions, and I have no idea what
their experience level is, obviously, but you just you imagine
want Yeah in Washington, yeah, organ.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
But the Northwest is not a place to be trifled with.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's just sad.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
But uh, also, you know, if you go out, uh
bring like if you can bring a satellite phone too.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah, bring you want to bring back up analog equipment.
You never know what's going to happen to your electronics
and those kinds of conditions, especially when it's cold and
humid and moist out, it can do damage to electronics
and then you don't have a way to contact help
or to get back, you know, So any kind of
analog backups you can bring, maps, compass. Actually, maybe we
(27:40):
should probably do an episode that is just going through
our talk on this because I just realized that we've
never talked about it like on air, So we'll work
on adapting that into a radio format to kind of
go through our list of rules to kind of like
survive these encounters and make sure that you can come
back because we want to hear your stories. We want
you to survive and tell us the cool things that
you saw, and just we don't want anyone to die.
(28:04):
So seriously, do not go on the tracks for the
goat Man Bridge, Like, just don't do it. I know
we've said that before, but like I cannot stress enough.
Do not go on the railroad tracks. You will die.
It will be a bad time.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's like you know, my brother in
law point out something when I talked to him about
the goat man bridge too, which is, what are you
gonna do if you actually see the goat man up
there too?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Right, it's a giant goat man wielding an axe or
a hatchet?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
A are you gonna punch him that?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
And also if you're on a bridge, how are you
gonna run away? Yeah, either from the goat man or
the train that ends up coming along bad idea. You
can search for them without going on the train tracks.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I believe we're getting up to around one hundred people
that'll tell you that why you shouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, yep. And they put a statue there, you know,
to honor those people recently and also as a reminder
of people do not do it. But yeah, I just figured, yeah,
we should mention that because I want people to stay safe.
And if you happen to before we adapt it to radio,
if you happen to want to come see our talk,
(29:16):
we are doing it for the next time at the
Frogman Festival ones. I'm not sure which day yet, So
the Frogman Festivals March first and second. I'm not sure
when our talk is going to be yet, but yeah,
if you want to kind of who knows, I don't know,
I have no idea yet. They're working on the schedule
right now, but yeah, if you kind of want to
see that before we adapt it for the radio, then
(29:38):
you can come check it out there. And obviously it
will be different in person than on the radio because
we can have visuals. But yeah, genuinely, we really just
want people to be able to stay safe and share
their stories. This show doesn't exist if people cannot share
their stories, which continuing to be just really depressing. We're
(30:00):
not going to dwell on this one too long, my
go ahead and move us along to our next article,
which is as of January twenty nine, twenty twenty five,
the Doomsday clock has never been closer to the metaphorical
midnight And what does that mean? This is also from
NPR Rachel Traceman.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, so humanity is closer than ever to get catastrophe.
According to the atomic scientists behind the Doomsday Clock, the
ominous metaphor ticked one second closer to midnight this week.
The clock now stands just eighty nine seconds away, its
first move in two years, and the closest the clock
has come to midnight in it's nearly eighty decade history.
(30:37):
Eight decade, not eighty. Wow, I said that wrong. It
has not been around for eighty decades. That would be
a lot of time. But yeah. The twenty twenty five
o'clock time signals that the world is on a course
of unprecedented risk and that continuing on the current path
is a form of madness, announced the bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists, the nonprofit organization that sets the clock each year.
(31:01):
The group means annually to assess how close humanity is
to self destruction based on the three main factors, climate change,
as we talked about earlier, nuclear proliferation, and the disruptive
technologies such as artificial intelligence. This year, it cited continuing
trends and multiple global existential threats, including nuclear weapons, climate change, AI,
(31:22):
infectious diseases, and conflicts in Ukraine in the Middle East.
It also pointed to the spread of misinformation and conspiracy
theories as a potent threat multiplier that undermines public discourse
in general about these very issues. So the reason that
I wanted to talk about this one was obviously we
are talking about, you know, some kind of like fringe
(31:43):
concepts here, but we always like do our best to
not outright give a seat to full on crackpot conspiracy
stuff here because that kind of misinformation is dangerous and
I think that that would just be more wrong to
post that.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Frankly, yes, you don't want a platform that kind.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Of correct and.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Show.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
It's not that we don't get requests from those people.
We have gotten a few requests from some I think
unhinged people that I just don't respond to because I'm
not going to give that a platform. So I just
want to talk about that because I know that things
are really dark and scary out there, but you know
there's a light. You know, there's people still trying to
(32:31):
do good and we can still turn things around. So
I want to talk about it to not be all
doom and gloom because there's a lot of bad things
going on right now and.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
We can fix it exactly. It's the thing people at
home should take away from this too, is the whole
reason this thing exists is to try and encourage us
to turn things around. Yeh. We are fully capable of doing.
Oh yeah, and we've done before, like when we you know,
(33:03):
back in the nineties the clock got moved farther away
from all this. It's it's a thing that has happened.
So it's not it's not it's not it's not an
omen it's not a.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It's it's not we're completely screwed already. It's just, hey,
we've really got to work on turning things around. Yes,
it's a warning system.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, and just when you're you know, that's another thing too,
when you're out there, just try and do good, put
good into the world. It helps, It really does.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
And you know, mentioning the nineties and all that. Part
of when they changed it back then was you know,
the holes and the ozone there. We actually did fix that,
and people don't really talk about that. That's why you
don't hear about it now. We fixed it. You remember
why two k when people were like, well, nothing happened,
it's because they fixed it. They spent a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
People put a lot of time and effort into sure
we didn't crash and burn. Right, It's not that it
was a false prediction. It's because people were out there
trying hard to fix this thing. Yes, we have done
our part before to fix it, to fix the world.
We can do it again.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
When when we work together and have, like you know,
intelligent and qualified people working on problems. We're pretty good
at getting them fixed. The problem is we are very
bad at letting intelligent, qualified people fix our problems.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We listen to idiots. But speaking, I don't know if
that's a good segue. What are you?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Where are you going next? Where are you going with that?
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I was gonna talk about the truck driver.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Do you want to do that or do we want
to go relate quick to the goofy one first?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
We'll talk about idiots because you're an idiot if you
don't name your NHL team.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
After you Okay, I would say, let's go for the
goofy one first. And you are an idiot if you
don't name your team. The YETI is what is wrong
with you? Yes, I'm talking talking about you, NHL.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It's like you had a chance, you had a chance
for the perfect team and you blew it.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah, you blew it.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
You let us down like the Mighty Ducks in the
first quarter. You let us down. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
What creatures talking about? Here?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Was?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
This article is about how YETI was nixed by the
NHL as a possible team name. They were considering it
for Utah's new NHL team, and frankly, I'm very disappointed
in them.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
It's like Utah needs more wins, guys.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I just YETI is a sick team name it is?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
It denotes winter and big intimidating force. Do we know
what name they went with.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I don't think they've just had it on one. I
think it was just that one was crossed off.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
The life is all Uh, Cincinnati, I think you guys
have a perfect name for an NHL team, and it
gets colder here than it does in Utah. I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I feel like Michigan might be upset if we took
that one, but you know, or honestly, Oregon, come on, Oregon, listen.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I've only ever been to the desert part of Utah,
so I don't know if they get still there, but
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
That they don't the mountains at least do they don't
have mountains in Utah.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I have never been to Utah, so I cannot speak
on that. I'm thinking really hard, and I'm like, yeah,
I've never been to Utah. Does Utah have mountains? Let's
fact check this. Yes, Utah has many mountain ranges. Including
the Wasatch Mountains, which you know what that sounds like? Sasquatch.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
My god, it's like they've known me my whole life.
We should you know. I'm just gonna take this stance now.
Utah is anti monster and I think that's pretty problematic.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Or is it just their sports teams that are anti monster?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
I mean, from what I have seen so far, they've
taken a strong stance against monsters. Utah, you need to
defend yourselves. Are you pro monster or anti monster? You know?
I mean this, this discretion will not stand man.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Uh do you wanna go ahead and move us a
little south of the border here?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Uh? Yeah, I'm assuming you're talking about the pleasant story
of the truck driver films ghost Child running down road
in Mexico? Yes?
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Do you want me to do? We want to watch
the video first?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Yeah, we can watch the video.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
I'm gonna hit play and the audio is probably gonna
come through, so let's Uh. Oh, I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Oh did fall?
Speaker 3 (38:33):
It looks like it? Yeah, it looks like it did.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It looks like Ah? Oh no, don't play it again. Okay,
I'm muting that so that we don't hear it again.
But yeah, it is a video, a very creepy video.
I just realized that that's out the front windshield, which
means the truck driver just started backing up and was like, Nope,
absolutely not. And you hear like a child's voice saying,
I don't know what, but it's just sprinting after the
(38:59):
truck and it's like glowing and then it like falls
to the ground. Yeah, which the reason it could look
like it's glowing because of the truck headlights on it.
But that is really creepy. Uh, Alex, Yes, I.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Hate to interrupt you. I have some breaking news.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
You have breaking news.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I do breaking weird news.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Breaking weird news. What do you got?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Uh? Prince Williams asks scientist about searching for Lockness monster.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Is he trying to get like a search going for
the Lockness Monster?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
He's looking for DNA from the Lockness Monster? The the uh?
Prince Williams all right. In an amusing exchange captured during
it visits a British biodiversity monitoring company, Prince Williams ask
their founder if the technology could be used to find
the Lockness Monster. The odd moments scene above occurs to
(39:55):
the future King of England receiving a tour of the
Environmental DNA lab Arbatory in twenty twenty four's Earshot prized
finalist after being given a demonstration of how there of
how their scientists can extract tiny pieces of DNA from
a location to get a better understanding of its ecosystem.
Prince Williams likely surprised his company founder, doctor Cat Bruce,
(40:19):
when he put forward the question that everyone is going
to want to know, does this mean you could find
the locknest monster?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Good question? Uh? Where are where are you getting that
article from? I haven't seen that one.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
From from Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Oh, I'm sorry I missed that.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Wow, I thought we would want to talk about that one.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
That is really cool. Yeah, I completely missed that one.
I'm sorry that I missed that.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
I'm from three days ago.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah, which is funny actually, because all the stuff that
I'm finding talked about it that's not from Coast to
Coast is all like from today. So apparently Coast Coast
jumped on that one, which I don't blame them as
they should.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I mean, hey, we jumped on it.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Yeah, No, that's really cool.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
So you heard it here first King of England just
admitted lock de Sponster exists.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Well, I guess not here first, coast to coast first,
but that's really cool. Yeah, just concluding talking about the
creepy child video. Oh sorry, Oh no, I just wanted
to wrap that up. The apparently this happened on a
remote road in the state of Chihuahuap. In the dash
(41:28):
can footage seen above, the truck comes up to the
you know, small child looking thing in the middle of
the road, and then it said this happened around three am.
So that's really creepy and freaked the driver out, who
threw his vehicle into reverse as the small stranger ran
towards him while unleashing a series of plaintive whales as
(41:48):
in yeah, like crying. Yeah, that's I don't like that
the audio picked that up. But yeah, it's very creepy.
It could have been a ghost or it could have
been an actual child. Either way, not something you want
to see on the road at three in the morning.
Who knows? Yeah that that that's a creepy one. Uh
(42:11):
Lockness Monster that is really cool.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Yes, and a lot less depressing.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Uh uh No, my mind's blown about the Lockness Monster thing.
That's really cool that the Prince, Prince William's just like, yeah,
can we get lock Noss Monster DNA? Which makes me
wonder why does he want it? Is he planning on
building Jurassic Park Locknest's Monster Edition.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
I assume he's trying to get England to be the
first world power again by having a super army of
Lockness monsters for the navy.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
But I mean you didn't hear that.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
You know, but yeah, apparently they did already reading into this.
They did already try that. Back in twenty eighteen, they
did an e DNA study of Lockness to try to,
you know, see what they could find, and they only
found eels. So they were like, maybe the Lockness monsters
(43:16):
like a really big eel, but that didn't seem right.
So that's cool that he had this idea and they
were like, oh no, no, no, we already tried that.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
So I like that. I've seen multiple media, including Scooby Doo,
that have portrayed the Lockness Monster as a log with
a with a giant mask on it.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
My favorite theory is that the Lockness Monster is bears,
you know, you.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Know what would be both underwhelming and horrifying at the same.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Time, bears bear, the bears fighters.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
I just imagine how terrified I would be if I
if I thought I was about to interact with the
Lockness monster, and instead it was just a pile of.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Bears, A very flexible pile of bears.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
Yes, good for them, the ultimate hunter gymnast bears.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
That's really the reason that they were training bears in
Russia is like the stuff that's.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
About to say that, that's what happened, all this Russian
circuits bear.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Oh my gosh, every bit of cartoons I've watched as
the kids prepared me for this moment.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
Oh god, I need to send you one of my
favorite Simpsons bits later. It's uh, it's Homer getting excited
for the for the ballet, and Marge goes, do you
even know what the ballet is? Because of course I do.
I know all the cornerstones of our culture. And he
starts thinking about the ballet and it's a circus with
a bear and a little car. Whoops, Well, would you
(45:00):
speaking of a circus with a barren a little car?
Would you like to talk about UFO alarm and istampul
air space.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, speaking of tiny things and tiny vehicles. That's a segue.
This is coming from Turkey today and yeah, a UFO
alarm in Istanbul airspace, pilots report unidentified traffic, so this
is coming. This is dated January twenty ninth, twenty twenty five,
at ten thirty four am. I don't know why I
(45:29):
was breeding the time. I just think it's interesting they
posted that early in the morning. But yeah, for the
fat Yeah, For the past three days, pilots flying in
Istanbul airspace have reported unidentified flying objects. They're calling them
UFOs here in stead UAPs on their radar, triggering widespread concern.
According to Demi Roran news agency, pilots using Sabiha Golkan
(45:54):
Airport I have no idea if I'm pronouncing that right,
because this has been translated from Turkish into English received
traffic collision avoidance system t casts, which if you're familiar
with planes, that's what helps them to not hit each other,
prompting an extensive search in the region. However, authorities have
been unable to determine the source of these alerts. They've
(46:15):
looked everywhere, air, sea, land, everywhere, and they're like, I
don't know why this is getting tripped. Radio transmissions between
pilots and air traffic control revealed the urgency of the situation.
One pilot reported, on final approach at three hundred feet,
we received a traffic alert. It could be a drone
or another aircraft for your information. The control towers response
(46:36):
indicated that similar warnings have been reported earlier. Sir, we
have been dealing with this for the past two and
a half hours. Several flights before you also received this warning.
We've reported it to coastal authorities. The pilot then added,
we see descending traffic five hundred feet below us. It
appears as an unidentified traffic on our system. It is
now five miles ahead of us. We also received this
warning on our previous fight flight. So yeah, that timing
(47:02):
of that is weird because obviously UFO's and ups are
a big topic in the US right now, with a
lot of the disclosure stuff coming coming around, and then
the mysterious lights above New Jersey that they have kind
of determined was a swarm of drones, So there's been
a lot of weirdness going on.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
But I assume that that is a real picture.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
By the way, on this article, Yes, uh no, there's
a three D illustration with photography.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
Yeah, that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
It's coming from Adobe stock Photo. But it's pretty well done.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
That's what they say.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
I mean. I actually it would be really easy to
photo shop in there.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
Honestly, I actually do really like that foot.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
No, it's a really good photo. Yeah, they just they
it's basically it's the window of a plane and you
can see the wing out there, and then there's just
a little UFO hanging out down below, hanging out, tagging along,
like when your kid, kids sibling decides to go with
you somewhere.
Speaker 3 (48:02):
Have we talked about how I much prefer the term UFO.
Speaker 2 (48:07):
I think we did, because I also kind of prefer it.
But I don't know if that's just me being you know,
curmudgeony and not wanting to change my ways.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
No, the reason they changed it is because they were like, well,
people don't take it seriously when you say UFO.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Well it's changing it to UAP isn't going to change
that connotation.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Right, that's my I know.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
I think what needs to happen there is just people
need to be more forthcoming with their stories about the
UFOs they have seen, because most people, I'm not gonna
say most, but a lot of people have stories of
seeing UFOs. That's part of why we do this show.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (48:45):
It's like, maybe we should get rid of our cultural
bias before we.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Just you know, and no, that's that's happening slowly. I mean,
people are more willing to come forward and talk about
their stories. There's a lot more disclosure of UFOs. People
are willing to accept it more. Statistically, it is unlikely
that we are the only living species in the galaxy.
That is so statistically unlikely. It's just about whether or
(49:10):
not they are coming and visiting our planet.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
You know, there's got to be at least like three species.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Well, the thing is, too, what I've always thought about
this is, I mean, how would we recognize it? I
mean these species, I mean they could be a living gas.
We could be breathing them in and not know and
not being able to perceive them. Who knows. We have
no idea what form that would take.
Speaker 3 (49:33):
So it's very frustrating because it's it's you know, like, look,
I like Kooch's as much as the next person, but
like it's it is fine to have a term UFO,
Like it's it's the problem I have with I keep
wanting to say, uhf, but that's a weird al movie.
(49:54):
But it's like, the problem is is intellectuals don't want
to like, don't want to debase themselves with the masses
that like whatever.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
You know.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
It's like, yeah, but I don't know. You can use both.
I'm I'm fine with either interchangeably. It doesn't matter. We
just need to destigmatize people actually talking about their experiences. Yeah, which, actually,
speaking of I didn't even think to mention this on
the show. We have a call in line. Obviously, we
do call ins. I just recently set up where now
(50:28):
people can record voicemails. So if you have a story
of a UFO UAP encounter that you want to share
with us, we have a voicemail line. Now. It is
limited to five minutes, just because we didn't want, you know,
long dragging out stories. But if you want to call
that in and tell us your story, that number is
five one three nine five one five three three two.
That's five one three nine, five one, five three three two. Again,
(50:52):
it is a voicemail limit of five minutes long. You
can just drop your story into the void and if
we like it, we can we'll we'll put it on
the show again. You can feel free to use a
pseudonym and alias, just stay anonymous whatever you need to do.
You can use a voice modulator if you need to.
If you don't want people to know it's you, we
don't care. We just want to hear your stories.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
We do have to say that the third extraterrestrial to
call does get tickets to Supertramp.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Yes, that is true. And also, obviously, if you are
the third extraterrestrial to call, you are also obviously welcome
on the show as a special honored guest. Yes, we
want to hear from you. But yeah, I think it's
great that people are talking more about their experiences. Oh,
we're getting close to the top of the hour, so
I guess let's let's cover this last story here if
(51:41):
you want, if you want to talk about this one.
Speaker 3 (51:44):
Yes, uh, we are going to talk about more UFOs.
Get ready, the Curious Cluster of UFOs filled in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Do you want me to play the video again? You'll
watch it first. Yeah, it's a bunch of videos all together. Yeah,
so we have a bunch of different it's a bunch
of different angles. You can see lights in these weird,
(52:19):
weird patterns. I'm gonna put the playback speed on twice
speed here. Yeah uh oh yeah, it's like it's it's
in this like sort of diamond shape and it's like
the lights are pulsating and kind of rotating around each other.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
Yeah. See, it's the thing where we live in the
modern era of of drones where it's.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
Like it's hard to say whether it's a drone or not.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Yeah, yes, but it is definitely interesting looking and it's
it definitely is coordinated whatever it is. Yeah, it says.
A bewildering witness in Colorado captured footage of a curious
cluster of UFOs that maneuvered strangely through the night sky.
(53:15):
The strange sightings reportedly occurred on the evening of January
twelfth and the community of Lytton Town. According to the witness,
the odd orbs were spotted over the full the foothills
between Lockheed Martin and Red Raw.
Speaker 2 (53:29):
So I think that's why people are thinking. Yeah, so
I told this story recently about the time that I
saw lights like this and ended up being lanterns that
looks it looks exactly the same. So it could be that,
or it could be drones. I'm sure if you went
and looked up like the clearance in that area, you
might be able to find that.
Speaker 3 (53:49):
I was gonna say, if it was next to Lockheed Martin,
it may just be Lockheed.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
It could be that too. And that video I actually
I clicked on the YouTube link. It goes to UAP
files podcasts. So thank you all for sharing those videos.
But I thank you, don't I don't think it's the UAP.
