Speaker 1: to take the heat off himself. Yeah, now this was

9
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: kind of self suggested. Yeah, I guess as every holiday

10
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: story is, it is internally sourced. Okay, all right. Uh

11

13
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: so yeah, if you're scared of that stuff, then you

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: know we're not going to ruin Christmas. Yeah maybe. Alright,

15
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: So for this year, we're gonna talk about the mystery

16
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: of the Bumble, also known as the Abominable Snowman. Yeah,

17
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, and you know about this guy from Rudolph

18
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: the Red Nose Reindeer. We talked about that before the

19
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: special that's been on forever, I mean for like the

20
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: last fifty years. I think something like that, actually more

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: than fifty years three. Yes, yeah, yeah, I actually I've

22
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: been told that was not claymation. It was some sort

23
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: of cloth animation thing, stop motion animation. It just stop

24
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: motion animation. But apparently it wasn't It wasn't clay. It

25
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: was something other than some other medium, I don't know,

26
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: some kind of fuzzy material. Well, well, do an episode

27
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: about that next year. What did they use the world's

28
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: shortest episode? Yeah, exactly. And the box it was all

29
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: kept in has vanished. I mean, so what are they hiding?

30
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, okay, but back to the bumble? Um? Okay,

31
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: we each have our our own theory about about the bumble?

32
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Uh you know, was he real? Where did you come from?

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: That kind of thing? We're gonna talk about those, um

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: and of course, naturally there's some disagreements here, so we're

35
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: gonna have to like all present our sides and then

36
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: we'll hash it all off the end of side. Who's

37
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: right and who's wrong? Yeah, Joe's never wrong. Alright, here

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: we go. So let me jump in with my ideas here,

39
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: well not ideas, actually this is well documented, so my

40
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: my documented history of the bubble. Uh well, Okay, leading off,

41
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, big big picture. First, almost every human society

42
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: on the planet has a legend about some kind of

43
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: huge hair man like creature that lives way out of

44
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: the sticks named Steve. Yeah. Yeah, listen, it's a beard.

45
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't make me a giant monster. Actually, if not

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: Harry all over, but I'm not gonna ask you to

47
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: take your shirt off, keep it on. But if your

48
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: Hairry all over, then yeah, you're one of these guys. Uh. Well, anyway,

49
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: but they are these these these things live in the sticks.

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: No one ever sees them because well, the people that

51
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: do get killed right away. Uh. And they've had they've

52
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: had their different names, like the American Indians had the Sasquatch,

53
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: which you guys have heard of, and the him Aliens

54
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: had the Yettie. White people had the Hookies from Star Wars.

55
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Uh and true. Yeah, and as you know, the hookies

56
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: were eventually civilized and allowed to have guns, some of them. Yeah.

57
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: And and of course, as you know, the Wookies had

58
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Sasquatch or the Yettie. No

59
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: interbreeding there, no, no, not at all. They're not based

60
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: on that. The wookie Lei legend is actually based on

61
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. But where does the

62
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: cookie monster legend come from? Doesn't come from the Eddie.

63
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I know it doesn't. So okay,

64
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: well we go back. We're gonna we're gonna take this

65
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: all apart so you can all understand how it works.

66
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: But even though everybody seems to think they are the

67
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: same thing, there's actually no relationship between the Abominable Snowman

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: and the Eddie, which I know everybody thinks they're the

69
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: same thing. But actually, uh, if you don't believe me,

70
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: go to Nepal. Ask anyone on the street if they've

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: heard of the Abominable Snowman, and you will not hear

72
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: a single Yes, they have not heard of this guy.

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: All right, so we'll talk about that later. Yeah, where

74
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: did the Abominable Snowman legend come from? This may be

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: hard to accept, but somebody made it up. I know.

76
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: I can hear your heads exploding. But stay with me

77
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: for a minute. We're gonna unravel this. It all goes

78
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: back to nine three, the year before Rudolph came out,

79
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: and uh, it was a bad year. All kinds of

80
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: bad things happened. Student Baker car company went out of business.

81
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: The USS Thresher nuclear submarine was lost at sea with

82
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: all hands and nobody still knows why exact For sure,

83
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: the Pope died, Johnny Depp was born, ZIP codes were

84
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: introduced when we're still dealing with that, right, Yeah, And

85
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: most famously of all, nineteen sixty three is known as

86
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: the year that the lava lamp was invented. Yeah, the

87
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: lava lamp. Yeah, from the northeast. I didn't need yeah, yeah,

88
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: but yeah. I was actually kind of surprised because in

89
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: researching destroy I did a survey of momentius things that

90
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: happened in nineteen sixty three, and yeah, that was one

91
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: of them. I had no idea. I thought the lava

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: lamp was like later. But I cannot with your pronunciation

93
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: of that word, but it you know, of course, I

94
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: live on the West coast, you know, so maybe it

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: started on the East coast and sort of spread westwards

96
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: some of the time. I you know, I found one

97
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: in my home. That was a lot later than that.

98
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: You went into the lavatory and found the lava lamp. Yeah, yeah,

99
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: the lava lamp was I don't know. My parents got

100
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: sooner or later somebody gave it to him. I think, Yeah,

101
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that nobody ever seems to buy.

102
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: People always give. I mean, you have a Lava Lampton show,

103
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: I have a giant one. Yeah, and didn't somebody give

104
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: that to Yeah? I know exactly where it came from. Yeah, exactly,

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: but nobody ever buys them themselves, or at least admits

106
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah. Anyway, the year it was a rough

107
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: year for America, and so the exact that the CBS

108
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: TV News network decided the country needed a little bucking

109
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: up right, and they sided the American people needed a

110
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: hero to rally around and to rally their spirits. So

111
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: they tasked their writers with creating this hero, and the

112
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: writers basically took a week reindeer with poor social skills

113
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and a criminal record and tried to turn them into

114
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: Rambo for an animated special for the following Christmas season,

115
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: you guys, And that's how that's where we all came from.

116
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: We've already talked about the special and the disparity between

117
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: fictional Routolf and the real Rutolf, and they took some liberties,

118
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: as we all know. They started putting this special together,

119
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: and of course they totally remade route Doll's character, made

120
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: him a lot better than he actually was. But they

121
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: left out one important thing, which is Jeopardy, right, you

122
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: got the game show exactly, I know, I know, no

123
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: peril danger. Oh I thought it was. That's here every

124
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 1: time you talk. Okay, I'll take left lame mythical creatures

125
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: for a hundred um. But we're talking about there's always

126
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: gotta be a hitch. Just's gotta be some sort of thing,

127
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, like the melting down nuclear reactor or more

128
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: likely the super villain. And so this is this is

129
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: a person who always makes it looks like the entire

130
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: enterprise may may just fall apart in our heroes. Who knows,

131
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: might even die like the Postman from all of the

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: other Reindeer. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Bob, I like it.

133
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Great name. That's not his name, that's what he says.

134
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Okay, clearly you've never seen it. I have

135
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: not seen it. But it's a great name. But uh

136
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: so they had to come up with something, and they

137
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: had to create a charifying villain who looked like he

138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: was going to destroy the whole thing. But the problem

139
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: is is it's set in Christmas Town, which doesn't have

140
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: any real psycho criminals. I mean, and other than you know,

141
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Rudolph was actually the biggest criminal in Christmas

142
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: Town history. But and sure, the other reindeer they were

143
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: kind of jerks to to Rudolph, that's absolutely true. But

144
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: that's a long way from being a Bond supervillain or

145
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: a dark lord or something. Right, so they could make

146
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: up something like a twisted serial killer Elf, the one

147
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: on the shelf, Yeah, Santa's evil twin, or maybe this

148
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: is scary as hell, Santa's ex fiance showing up and

149
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: murdering Mrs Claus and and then wiring all the toy

150
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: factors with cbore and taking the els hostage. This is Christmas,

151
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Well? Yeah, And so obviously none

152
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: of these really went over well with the networks. They

153
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: did treat with some a few things, like the extnance.

154
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: A plot had Rudolph armed with only a service automatic

155
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: and fifteen rounds of AMMO, crawling around air ducks and

156
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Elvin nick Neck complex their Team four in the Psycho

157
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: exit saving Christmas, although there was a lot of eleven

158
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: collateral damage and it's just not appropriate. No, that's that's

159
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: how the Network felt about that. They really hated the

160
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: whole idea, you know, especially the idea of a reindeer

161
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: shooting and blowing up Christmas Town. So they just said,

162
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: come on to use an animal or something to how

163
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: about wolves and but of course wolves won't do because

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: wolves live down around the Arctic Circle and below right, Yeah, yeah,

165
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Well how about polar bears and so no, polar bears

166
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: don't live you know, they live in the periphery of

167
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: the Arctic. True, they don't actually live at the North Pole.

168
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Ain't no polar bears up there, despite the name, which

169
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: is very misleading. That's very true. Polar bears would live

170
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: at the pole. But no they don't. They sure as

171
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: hell don't. Why would anybody live at the pole. That's

172
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: the thing. There's nothing to eat up there. Reindeers yeah,

173
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: and and candy, yeah, and candy. And you know, ye

174
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: elves are tasty. Elves are like behind the wall though

175
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: well they have yeah, now we'll get into that some

176
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: future one style wall. Yeah thing uh. And so they

177
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: decided they needed to make something up the problem of courses.

178
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: Are people gonna believe that there's some huge, scary, demonic

179
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: creature living on the ice at the North Pole with

180
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: no visible means of support, a little bit of a stretch. Right,

181
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: this is a creature that lives right here, and mother,

182
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: nobody's ever seen it or heard it before. I mean,

183
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: it's it's ridiculous. Nobody's seen the cracking, at least not

184
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: that I know of, but at least we've all heard

185
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: of it before, right, Yeah, And and it lives in

186
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: a place that credibly could support life, not which is

187
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: not the North Pole. And the writers came up with

188
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: a solution, which is, we'll just pretend like this badass

189
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: creature has always existed, even though nobody ever actually heard

190
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: of it until five minutes ago. We'll claim it's a

191
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: nation legend from a tiny country like halfway around the

192
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: world that no one's ever heard of. And thus they

193
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: created this foil for Rudolph, and the abominable Snowman legend

194
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: was born. Yeah, or the Bumble, based of course on

195
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the humanly and yetti, but really total b Yes, it

196
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: was not at all related to her, based on the yetting,

197
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: but they pretended that it was. And by pretending that

198
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: it was based on this ancient crypto from halfway around

199
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: the world, CBS was insulated from charges of lameness. Yeah,

200
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: the worst charge anybody could ever levy against a network blameness. Yes,

201
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: And the story gets bigger. The US government became aware

202
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: of this project, mostly because the FBI was bugging all

203
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: the major networks because they kicked out of listening in

204
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and all the sexual harassment that was going on. And

205
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: never coincidentally, they only the government that is, had only

206
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: recently gotten winto the fact that the human historical record

207
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: had been falsified and that the twentieth century was actually

208
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the seventeenth century. This is a thing that you guys

209
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: may be aware of. You heard of the phantom time hypothesis,

210
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: which is a real thing. Uh, somebody away back when

211
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: like a pope, the Holy Roman Emperor some other people

212
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: conspired centuries ago to basically fake three centuries of history

213
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: and plug it into the record. And the U. S Government,

214
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: having found this out, was wondering how to undo this

215
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: fraud without totally messing with everybody's heads. Right, And you know,

216
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: like I said, this is not made up. This is

217
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: for real, it's on the internet, it's real. Three centuries

218
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: of human history just made up, wasn't it? Because like

219
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: the emperor wanted to. He was really it was important

220
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: to him that he'd be ruling over like a certain century.

221
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: You wanted to be like Anno Domingo one thousand, you know,

222
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: and not like like seven hundred, which is not nearly

223
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: as cool as one. So he was just like, yeah,

224
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: throw it on. There's why all of the best devices

225
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: are the one thousand model. Oh you've got the iPhone

226
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: five hundred. I've got the iPhone one thousand. Sounds such

227
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: so much better. Cannot wait. It's also why they skipped

228
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: over it's you know, the iPhone XE, the iPhone X

229
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: which means tenn like because nobody cares. They just always

230
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: wanted to use a single character one of the two anyway, Sorry,

231
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: just to uh well, as so as you know, the

232
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: government found out about about the Abominable Snowman fraud, they

233
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: took a lot of interest in that, and they actually

234
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: provided some funding and technical expertise to the project. And

235
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: after Rudolph aired in like late nineteen sixty four, the

236
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: government spent millions doing polling and research which confirmed the

237
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: public had completely bought into all the entire Abominable snow nbs.

238
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: They totally believed that this there was this creature based

239
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: on them and getting and that everybody had always known

240
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: about this, even though, like I said, nobody knew about

241
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: it until five minutes ago. Hold out manly in the

242
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: university faculties. These guys were spirited away to re education

243
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: camps and quietly replaced with nineteen sixties radical students. He

244
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: really loves re education camps. He's only threatened them to

245
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: send us to. Yes, he really is. I was just

246
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna say that I think that everybody bought it because

247
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where you know, like

248
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: when you go see an art exhibit and you're like,

249
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't it's dumb, like, and everyone's like it's genius,

250
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: it's amazing, and you're like, oh, yeah, it's genius. It's amazing.

251
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: But it turns out everybody's saying it's genius because they

252
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: just don't get it and they don't want to look dumb.

253
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: That's why the entire population was like, yeah, of course

254
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: they bump because they were like, I must be the

255
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: only person in this entire place that doesn't know what

256
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: bumble is, so that, of course it is kind of

257
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: human nature to do. Yeah, nobody wants to be not

258
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: in with the in crowd, right, it's absolutely true. Yeah,

259
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: uh huh. And that's why, by the way, if you

260
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: want to be with the in crowd, you would listen

261
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: to Thinking Sideways. Yeah yeah, and tell all your friends too.

262
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you don't want to be a dork. Yeah,

263
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: everybody doing it? Okay, but so much for commercials. Back

264
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: to this, back to Rudolph and and the Bumble the bumble.

265
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: So the rest is history. Everybody believes this bs and

266
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: that the few people who don't believe it, while they

267
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: refraid from saying so because they don't want to be

268
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: called anti Christmas. Nobody wants to be anti Christmas. And

269
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: of course, as we all know, the Abominable Snowman legend

270
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: eventually would give rise to the Cookie Monster myth, and

271
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: then later on to the Wookie legend, which leases the

272
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Star Wars, and of course the government operation Operate and

273
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: white that was born. I think White That wasn't better

274
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: about the same time. Yeah, it's about correcting and correcting

275
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: that typewritten history. I guess. So White Out makes sense,

276
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: But the government has undertaken it's still going on as

277
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: far as I know to this day. It's a gradual

278
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: rewriting of history based about a year at a time.

279
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: It has gotten a bit bogged down in memo writing

280
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: and beer credit and fighting, but apparently it's still it's

281
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: still going on. If you call the FBI and ask

282
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: them about it, of course they'll pretend not to know anything.

283
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Be persistent, keep calling back, you know, yeah, eventually they'll

284
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: give you. You know, you know you're getting through when

285
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: they come to your house. That's how you know you're

286
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: getting there. Totally. Yeah, Bob barred them with FOIA requests

287
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: to But but the success of the the government project

288
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: could be measured, at least in part by the fact

289
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: that reality does seem to have become kind of an

290
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: optional idea for quite a few people. But historically speaking,

291
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: the ratifications are without Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, we

292
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't have gotten this operational white out leading to the

293
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: correction of human history. And we wouldn't have got all

294
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: those cool university professors with cool new ideas. And we

295
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: also wouldn't have gotten Star Wars. Or maybe we would

296
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: have gotten it without a Wookie, maybe a talking raccoon instead. Well,

297
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's absurd, but you know, really

298
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: it actually makes a little more sense than a huge, hairy,

299
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: demonic creature living at the North Pole. Yeah. I think

300
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: that's what I think. So that's what it is. Is.

301
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Not only does it not, the Abominable Snowman never exists.

302
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: He was never even actually a legend. Believe it or not,

303
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: he was. It was a basically a legend created out

304
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: of whole cloth. Yeah. Well, I will say that you

305
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: are correct in that last statement, but I think the

306
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: rest of that is just total hockey horse hockey, to

307
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: be specific, hockey horse hockey was horse hockey hockey like

308
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: horse grenades, horse apples. I don't know, you're making stuff up. Yeah, well,

309
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do what Joe did. Make stuff up. Okay,

310
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: I made nothing up up. No, listen, The truth of

311
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: the matter is is that the story of the Bumble,

312
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: and based on the research I've done, the entire thing

313
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: is actually an allegory for the Daniard for the dangers

314
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: of unionization, and it was all created by Robert F. Kennedy. Okay,

315
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: conveniently he plays he blames somebody who's dead whose brain

316
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: went missing. Run Kennedy. Listen here, let me let me

317
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: break this down for you. Okay, So, as you know,

318
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about that cute nine Rudolf the Red Nose

319
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: Reindeer movie, but it is truly about the dangers of unionization,

320
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: and honestly, the Bumble, the poor Bumble, is really just

321
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: a scapegoat that's creators used to spread their message. Okay,

322
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: it's the truth about the Bumble is actually really simple

323
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: and really sad, and like I said, he was the

324
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: target of a Kennedy And here's why. Because the story

325
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: from the outside, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, it seemed

326
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: cute and it's hit about him leaving home and growing

327
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: up and then returning one day to try and help everybody.

328
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: But if you ever watch the characters and you really

329
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: listen to some of the other characters, you'll pick up

330
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: on what's going on. So let's start with one of

331
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: the side characters. That's the other characters, Hermie, the Elf,

332
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the best Elf. When we first meet Hermie, he's he's

333
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: working away like all the other else, but he's dissatisfied

334
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: with his job and he wants to do something different. Specifically,

335
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: he wants to be a dentist. I mean, that's what

336
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: he tells the elf Foreman and of course the foreman

337
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: tells him that you can't do that, So to retaliate,

338
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: he skips choir practice. He did, he did. He skips

339
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Elvin choir practice, which throws off the entire tune so

340
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: much so that Santa walks out of the room in disgust.

341
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: And instead, what is Hermie doing. He's quote unquote practicing

342
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: dentis street. He's practicing on a doll. Animal like any

343
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: other serial killer. He's practicing on a doll. But his

344
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: form of dentistry involves using a hammer on a poor

345
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: doll's teeth, which is actually really kind of barbaric talking

346
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: about he's really cheap though. He also work in a

347
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: back alley. Here works in a trailer, not a back alley.

348
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: Is the trailer parked in alley? Okay, um, let's see

349
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: what els okay. So then there's the first encounter between

350
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Hermie and Rudolph. Hermie of course, Deil's Rudolph that he's

351
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: a dentist and that he's an independent dentist, which is

352
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: not true. He's actually an employee of Santa. He works

353
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: like all the other Elves, So he's there's already some

354
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: fibbing going on. People that are actors that l a

355
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: that are active, but they're waiting tables something like that,

356
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he's he's happily part of an

357
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: unorganized workforce that is all very very happy in being

358
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: so um right, yeah, exactly. At this point, you know,

359
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: after this initial meeting, Hermie convinces Rudolph that they have

360
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: to leave the safety of Christmas Town a k a.

361
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: Leaving the safety of their secure employment, and they go

362
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: out into the wide world. And this is where the

363
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: writers begin their creative slander, because this is when they

364
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: first meet the Bumble, and he chases and threatens them,

365
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: and they barely get away if we keep going on

366
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: in the story though. They then the next day, Hermie

367
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: and Rudolph meet Yukon Cornelius, and Cornelius says, hey, I'm

368
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: the greatest prospector in the North, which prospector makes me

369
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: think maybe that's a euphemism for a job title in

370
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: the unions. Maybe I think he was a drug pusher

371
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: or something. But he's of gold. Well, that's the thing

372
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: that he's obsessed with, finding gold and silver, which is

373
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: really convenient for him to have met Hermie, a guy

374
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: who wants to be a dentist and dentist used gold

375
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: and silver when they work on teeth a lot, so

376
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: that's a funny coincidence to me. But at this point

377
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: again there of course chased by the Bumble and they

378
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: barely escape. Again here you see see what's going on here.

379
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: They're making the Bumble out to be the big, bad,

380
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: scary monster. Maybe really wasn't just misunderstood. So at this point,

381
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, then the story goes on. Rudolf runs away

382
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: and then they come back and they go to help

383
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: Cornelius and Hermie show up just in time to help

384
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: Root off with a little stuff offer by the way

385
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: at the right. So yeah, I'm just I'm moving this

386
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: forward rather than telling the whole story of the movie

387
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: because these are the important deed als. Is that during

388
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: the confrontation when Cornelius and Hermie save everybody, Hermie, after

389
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: the Bumble has been knocked out, pulls all of his

390
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: teeth out of his head. He's taking the teeth out

391
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: of the bumble. And have you ever heard that phrase

392
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: taking the teeth out of something? You're making it harmless. Okay,

393
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: So here's where everything comes out and who these characters

394
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: really represent. So we've got Hermie and Rudolph, and they

395
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: are just your average everyday American worker who are happily

396
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: going to their job and their employers happily protecting them

397
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: without anybody else's intervention. We've got yukon Cornelius. He's not

398
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: actually a traditional prospector, but like I said, he's more

399
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: of a union organizer. And then, well, who did who

400
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: did Cornelius work for? Well, if you watch the movie,

401
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: Cornelius knows an awful lot about the Bumble, and that's

402
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: because in reality they worked together, they were on the

403
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: same team. So have you have you put it together yet?

404
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Do you know who these characters are all representing? Have

405
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: you have you figured out who the Bumble is yet? No?

406
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hoffa, here's the deal. Jimmy Hoffa in nineteen sixty

407
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: four was convicted for jury tampering and four years Robert F.

408
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Kennedy had been after him to send Haffa to jail.

409
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: He hated Haffa. So this whole story is Robert F.

410
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: Kennedy's victory. He wanted to document this, but he obviously

411
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: couldn't just do it straight. He had to, you know,

412
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: put it inside of a child friendly movie. And this

413
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: conviction would pull the teeth out of Haffa, who was

414
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: in control of the Teamsters union. You following so far, Yeah,

415
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: now get this. You know, Kennedy went one step further

416
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: and he actually inserted himself into the movie as the

417
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: character Sam the Snowman, because he's telling all of everything

418
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 1: that's going on. But here's one funny thing that Sam

419
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: does is that at the you know that, just at

420
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: that culmination of the big confrontation between everybody in the bumble,

421
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: he says, and I sent Cornelius and Hermie over there,

422
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: something to that effect. Now, wait, why why would why

423
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: would he be involved unless he was orchestrating it, much

424
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: like Kennedy was trying to orchestrate politics and the court

425
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: system at the time. So what I'm telling you here

426
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: is this is all a Muys propaganda. Yes it is.

427
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: That's the word, thank you. It's propaganda. The whole thing

428
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: is propaganda on the part of Kennedy because he hated

429
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: hated off of so much. And nobody has figured this out.

430
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I founded by piece and a bunch of

431
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: stuff together. Makes what actually does this sort of like

432
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: I think lent a little credence to this, is that

433
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: one of one of rfk's biggest regrets is that he

434
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: could not play the guitar and sing. And you noticed

435
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: that he created a character that could, you know, because

436
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: that was his secret dream. He didn't want to actually

437
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: be attorney general. Yeah, he actually wanted to be a

438
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: folk singer. He wanted to be like, you know, like

439
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: Django of the pan flute. So at Roger Whittaker that

440
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: that was his dream, you know. Insteady was sucked with

441
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: this crappy lawyer job and washing exactly, so he had

442
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: to do something. He had to take that anger out

443
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: on somebody either stretching stretching, I mean, I'm sorry, I'm

444
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: sorry to be the party pooper here, but are you

445
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: going to be as sheeple and not see the truth?

446
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: This this this frost covered truth. I'm just I just

447
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: know that Bumble is real, real Bumble is real, but

448
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: he's actually just a bear. Yeah yeah, So like let's

449
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: just we'll just hear this out. And I am really

450
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: sorry to be the party pooper here. I came up

451
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: with this theory after observing the documentary Ski Free about

452
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: skiers on alpine hills competing to finish full runs of

453
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: either Free Skiing slalom or tree slalom and um often

454
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: after the most successful documented run what was later identified

455
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: as a Yeti a k a. The Abominable Snowman, which

456
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: we will talk about in a second. Was they're chasing

457
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: the skiers. So that's the reason that they were skiing.

458
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't that they were competing, it's because they were

459
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: fleeing for their lives. No, they were skiing, that they

460
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: were competing, but just having to pop out of the

461
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: brush and go after them for a bit. Yeah. So

462
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: just got me thinking, we have documents. It's not important

463
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: snowy mountains all around the world. Uh. And this got

464
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: me thinking that we do have documented proof of a

465
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: Yeti chasing a skier. This this documentary. What else do

466
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: we have that chases skiers? And we have proof of that.

467
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: Bears beats Battlestar Electica uh her speed sets collecting. This

468
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: is not to be confused with a video that surfaced

469
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: I think last year called snowboard or Girl Chased by Bear,

470
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: where a girl filming herself with a selfie stick while

471
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: snowboarding down the hill listening to Rihanna through really big headphones,

472
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: which that seems like a bad idea. Being with the

473
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: giant headphones. Wearing giant headphones and walking around in them

474
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: is really a bad idea anywhere, even your own office,

475
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: You're likely to get clobbered by h wall. Plus it

476
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: looks kind of stupid, and well, no, you look like

477
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: a cyberman, so that's kind of did you wind up

478
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: with the with a selfie stick like rammed down her throat?

479
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: But she spilming herself with a selfie sticks snowboarding down

480
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: the hill, um, and she like pans around and you

481
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: can see there's a bear chasing her. This was proven

482
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: to be a hoax, however, and if you need proof

483
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: just google it. I do not have time to cover

484
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: it right now. This is too important. I just love

485
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: the idea that if it had been real, it's like, oh,

486
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: there's a bear. Screw you bear. I think you don't think,

487
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: you know? With the selfie stick like oftentimes, she wasn't

488
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: like looking. She was going down the hill, so she

489
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: panned around and you see the bear kind of behind her,

490
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: and then it doesn't matter anyway, it's a um. What

491
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I do know is there's real, verified tales of bears

492
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: chasing people who are skiing on one such cautionary tale

493
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: can be found in none other than the national geographic

494
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: magazine This is Real, and this particular issue it covers

495
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: the story of a guy named Matt mole Star. Now,

496
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Matt is a season skier and he was skiing in

497
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: Glacier National Monument when he was attacked by two giant

498
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: grizzly bears. One was an almost full sized cub and

499
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: his mom was the other bear, and Matt described her

500
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: as freight train sized. Actual war In that position, they

501
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 1: probably look extra huge, and I think so, yeah, I

502
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: bet they do. Anything that comes at me like that

503
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: with their arms in the air is always looks giants

504
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: of a building. Ye yeah, yeah. So he and his

505
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: friends seemed to have gotten away by sheer luck alone,

506
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of other harrowing tales of

507
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: people who have been chased by bears while skiing, like

508
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: that movie with Layonardo DiCaprio. Um, well he was, he

509
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: was skiing, Well, he was skiing, but without the skis

510
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: there really wasn't any snow on the ground at that.

511
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah no, but still, yeah he got the bear treatment.

512
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: He did. He did us. So there are a lot

513
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: more cases of people being chased by yettis however, but

514
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: what if somebody had managed to get some hair from Yetti?

515
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: Would that change anything? Do you think? Actually? That would

516
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: probably advance the cause of the scientific knowledge. Would be

517
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: exciting about that? Yeah, I think it would. And lucky

518
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: for us people do have hair or better, yet, other

519
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: remains of these yetis from Yeti's back way back in

520
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: the day, right and there They've been around for hundreds

521
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: of years in some cases some of them, Yeah, but

522
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: some of them have been collected more recently by teams

523
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: out doing documentaries on skiers who were being attacked or

524
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: other possible sightings of Yeti's not yet what Yeah, Yetti again? Um?

525
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: So these remains um. Some of them had been hidden

526
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: in monasteries or held by shaman's um but finally shamans okay, yeah, um.

527
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: We were able to test them. Me, I did the

528
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: testing me, but an evolutionary biologist at the state uh

529
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: State University of New York and Buffalo did test them.

530
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: And guess what she found. She tested nine of these

531
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: samples and they all were hair. Eight of them were

532
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: from bears native to the area, and one was a dog.

533
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: Huh where was she based out of? She's out of Buffalo,

534
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: but they were bears native to the areas where the

535
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: remains were okay, buffalo and that double check. They set

536
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: the samples onto the FBI haired lab and they they

537
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: lost them. Now they positively correlated them to take Kazinski. Yeah, yeah,

538
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: Now we think of um, I'm sorry, the bears were

539
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Himalayan brown bears. What we think of traditional bumble as

540
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: being white. Um, But apparently in the traditional Himalayan lore,

541
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: which is the actual lore where bumble came from, he's

542
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: covered in shaggy reddish brown or gray fur and ways

543
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: about two hundred four hundred pounds, which is for you

544
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: uneducated swine, and accounts make it anywhere from five to

545
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: nine ft tall. Does that sound familiar the bumble train size. Yeah,

546
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: that's a short bumble five foot Yeah, that's a baby bumble,

547
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: Like a baby bumble is a pet. I don't think

548
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: he would. That's just big enough for me to get scared. Probably, well,

549
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: I just want to five foot bud just stayed at

550
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: five foot, yeah, pretty much, to be fair, especially when

551
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: the five foot is actually two hundred pounds. Yeah, to

552
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: be fair. There, this is a different conclusion than um.

553
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: Primary researchers came to Um. The first researcher was named

554
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: Charlotte Lindquest, but she was and she was the one

555
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: that said that it was Emily and brown bear. And

556
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: an earlier researcher, I don't know, is old an old

557
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: dog hundreds of years old. An earlier researcher named Brian

558
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: Sykes came to a different conclusion, and his was based

559
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: on a jawbone. I don't know where the jaw bone

560
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: came from, presumably the shaman or something like, I know

561
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: where it came from, a jaw of a bumble. Yeah. Um.

562
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: But he found a hundred percent match with a sample

563
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: from an ancient polar bear jaw bone that was found

564
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: in Norway that dates back some forty thousand to a

565
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand years ago, a time when polar

566
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: bears closely related to brown bears were interbreeding a lot.

567
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: But they were kind of at that point, they were

568
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: kind of separating out a bit too. They were separating out,

569
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: but if they had common areas that they were territories,

570
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: they were, Yeah, they were interbreeding. Now when we think

571
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: about it, Um, the name is actually the best proof

572
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen and this is my proof to cement the

573
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: fact that yetti and bumble and the abominable soul man

574
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: excuse me, use the technical term here, or actually the

575
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: same thing, and yetis are actually bears ready? In UH

576
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: nineteen one, and Indian English language newspaper interviewed some explorers

577
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: that were UM returning from UH Mount Everest expedition that

578
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: was it was the British Mount Everest Reconnaissance Expedition UM

579
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: and they were one of the first people to report

580
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: these big footprints in the snow, and their guide, who

581
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: was a native to the Himalayan area, had attributed them

582
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: to the mito kang bi kang kang me excuse me,

583
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: kng me translates to snowman and mito to bear man

584
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: or man bear. The writer of this piece got about

585
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: half of that translation but misinterpreted uh mito which is

586
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: man bear too filthy? Oh, I thought that was gonna

587
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: be carrot knows no, So instead of writing filthy snowman,

588
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: he was like, Oh, I'm going to write the abominable snowman,

589
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: filthy snowman. What about frosty snowman and filthy and frosty

590
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: sound a lot closer, Yeah, fosh frosts. So they actually

591
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: have a Frosty the snowman legend in the Himalayas. No,

592
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: they have a man bear snowman legend, which is just

593
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: like a white bear that's big, really really raunchy jokes.

594
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: But you know, filthy is a misinterpretation. Yeah, and so

595
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: so at the abominable snowman, as I said, never existed

596
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: in Nepaul. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, except for it was

597
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: the eddy. It was just a misinterpretation of man bear

598
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: of man bear, man bey, Oh, man man bear, man

599
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: bear snowman. No, man man bear. Yeah that rolls right

600
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: off the yea, sure it does. But basically the name

601
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: is like, hey, it's a big bear, that's white bear. Yeah.

602
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: But I still and as I said, we talked some

603
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: about this in previous episodes about I had never totally

604
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: totally discounted the possibilities some of these native storytellers have

605
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: actually had a little fun at the white Man's expanse

606
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: from time to time. You know, maybe they want out

607
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: ahead of time and made some huge footprints of the

608
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: snow just to mess with their heads, and then they

609
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: kept across Oh yeah, that abominable snowman dude. Except for

610
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: they were actually just saying that yetti guy, and the

611
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: yetti we have proven, we have solid evidence, is actually

612
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: just a bear. So I'm sorry, but Bumble is just

613
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: a bear. Bumble Bear, It's just a bear who tells

614
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: really bad jokes. Yeah, it's filthy, you're the one. I

615
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: haven't said a filthy thing yet today. If you want,

616
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I can start right. Oh wait, no, it would be filthy. Yeah,

617
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: well that doesn't quite, that doesn't totally contradict my thesis,

618
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: which is that the Bumble and the Yeddie maybe excuse

619
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: me who the Himallean brown bear and the Yettie may

620
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: very well be the same thing. They are. Yeah, but

621
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: the whole and by the way, the Himilean brown bear

622
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: they're very cute. They're fuzzy, they are they're really shaggy,

623
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: Yeah they are, but the whole. The origin of the

624
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: Abominable Snowman can be traced to this one as a

625
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: name can be traced to this one article, from which

626
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: means that it's just all. This is where you're wrong.

627
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: Is that CBS and the US government we're way ahead

628
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: of you there. I mean, they went back and back

629
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: dated the text. This I'm telling you, this is this

630
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: is all a Kennedy concoction. It's all blamed on the Kennedy.

631
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have to agree to disagree.

632
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: It's always the Kennedy's. Alright, well, it'd been the Christmas

633
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: season at all. I can tell what this is heading.

634
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: We're all going to like just basically going to become

635
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: a fist fight. So we just have to agree to disagree.

636
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: You mean a normal family Christmas where we get drunk

637
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: and brawl. Yeah, that's a normal Christmas for everybody's pulling

638
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: out a switch blade and I'm tired of getting carved up, frankly,

639
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: So we are everybody exactly cut a little bit short,

640
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: and I want to lead all of our listeners with

641
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: something special, which is, um, I'm gonna grab my guitar
