00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to Worst Year Ever, a production of I Heart

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: Radio Welcome Together Everything, Ah. Welcome to the Worst Year Ever,

3
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: a podcast for only the very smartest people where every day,

4
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: well once a week or so, we break down the

5
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: most critical, most thought provoking, most important issues in the

6
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: world and talk about them in detail. To start us

7
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: off today, Cody Johnston, my host, got a question for you,

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: big question, deep question. Okay, okay, okay. Do you think

9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: The Rock would be less popular if his parents had

10
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: named him Dwayne the Holocaust Johnson. Yes, that's a very

11
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: good question. I don't necessarily think so, because I feel

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: like The Rock would change his name early on to

13
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: something else. He would not continue going by Dwayne the

14
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Holocaust Johnson. He would say that's a bad He would

15
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: be like, that's a bad name. Ideally, in an ideal world,

16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: he would say that's a bad name. Um, I've got

17
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: some questions for my parents and maybe we need to

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: have some talks. But I will legally change my name

19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: to something like, uh, Dwayne the Holocaust was bad, actually,

20
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: uh Johnson or something of that, like remember the Holocaust.

21
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: I would say, not mentioning it at all is better.

22
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: But I think he would have started working out a

23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: lot earlier because of all the bullying. Yeah, but I

24
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: think also, like, what kind of bullying do you think

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: he'd get? Like, would it we would it? Would it

26
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: be bullying from people who are like, your name is

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: making light of the Holocaust? Or would it be bullying

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: from people who were like, I'm a Nazi and and

29
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: so like? That could really thing. I feel like kind

30
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: of Dwayne the Rock Johnson could get. I feel like

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: early on he could find a community that accepts him,

32
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: um for all the wrong reasons, and um, you know,

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: he could go down a path. Yeah, that could be

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: really dangerous. You're right, I think, well good choice. Also,

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: his parents didn't name him the Rock. I mean, I

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: don't know that you can prove that, Cody, now, Robert,

37
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: was there any rhyme to the reasoning for this introduction

38
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: or did you just want to mention the Holocaust? It's

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: just something I've been thinking about every day for the

40
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: last seven to eight months. Well, I mean that's why again,

41
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: this is it's the most important things that are being

42
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: talked about by everybody every day, the most important things.

43
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: Nothing is important things. So um, if you try to

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: talk about anything else, thank you. Cody. Yeah, yeah, Well,

45
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, heroism gets thrown a lot round

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: a lot, that word hero heroic icism. I think I'm

47
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: the only one there's ever been. I think is the

48
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: lesson of this conversation. Robert the Holocaust Evans hero Well, okay,

49
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: that's a little much. Well, I mean a little much, Cody.

50
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: It's your legal name, so I don't know what you're getting.

51
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Getting a lot of deep content out today. Hate this,

52
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: hate it. Welcome to the worst year ever. Welcome to

00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: back to being. Oh I'm unvaccinated and I was sneezing

00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: the whole time, so uh no mask Oh, Cody, that's

61
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: all I need to make it. I need to make

62
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: it clear to everybody listening. I'm vaccinated. It was fine,

63
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's all good. Yeah, we were all we're

64
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: all vaxed up here and you you had your first

65
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: cross country trip, you went to a party. You were

66
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: like a human being again that that socializes with other

67
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: members of his species. How was that? It was wild?

68
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I celebrated love, which was nice. Oh love is nice. Yeah,

69
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: that was ver a wedding of a friend they put

70
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: off their wedding from last year. Beyond account of the

71
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: things that everybody listening knows about. It was something really

72
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: is diving right into just being on planes and hanging

73
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: out with a bunch of people and socializing with more

74
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: than a few people. And it was nice. Did you

75
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: know that it's really nice to like talk to your friends,

76
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: see humans. It's some human interaction. One of the only

77
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: things that makes life worth living is friends. One would

78
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: say that, and I think I think more than one

79
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: would say that. Actually, I think more lots of people

80
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: are saying this. Many people are saying that. Lots of

81
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: people are weeping this as they mane. Um. Yeah, and

82
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: I was nice to see people's actual faces, see their mouths, move,

83
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: their smiles, um, their micro expressions all that. Um. Yeah,

84
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: you know. I was recently on a plane myself for

85
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: a less fun reason. Obviously, my mom died, so I

86
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: had to get to get home and get back. I

87
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: was vaccinated and most of my family was. But yeah,

88
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: it was weird to see how completely, um, how completely

89
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: back to normal capacity. Like planes are the same as

90
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: they were before, except for you have to wear a

91
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: mask when you're not eating shitty plane snacks. Yeah, which, yeah,

92
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: it's uh one of mine. I actually got my row.

93
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: My row was clear. It was me, which was very,

94
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: very nice. But every other flight was it was jam

95
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: packed everyone. Uh. At one point on one of the flights, Uh,

96
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: someone had to go on the intercom and basically say, um, listen, UM,

97
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: please wear your masks. Uh, please keep them over in

98
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: your noses. I know that many people were vaccinated. I

99
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: know that the CDC has changed their guidelines, but uh,

100
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: federal law says you have to wear a mask on

101
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: these planes. Um, you signed up for this when you

102
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: bought the ticket. You agreed to it. Please don't roll

103
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: your eyes at us when we ask you to please

104
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: put your mask on. Um. Yeah, we have literally no

105
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: control here. We work for the airline. This is a

106
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: federal law. Please don't make this be a thing. Our

107
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: jobs are difficult enough. Yeah, don't be mad at us. Uh,

108
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: don't take it out on other people. So that was

109
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: that was a nice, little, a little, a little treat.

110
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I was waiting for some sort of you know thing

111
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: like that. I know a friend of mine a few

112
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: it was honestly, it was a couple of days after that,

113
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson Peace about how you should call the least

114
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: if you see your like kids wearing masks and stuff. Um,

115
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: your friend huh no, well my friend, my friends, Uh,

116
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: their boyfriend was followed by somebody and like like followed

117
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: after that. Um, because they were wearing a mask. So

118
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: that's cool, that's great. God, you love to see it.

119
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: We do. Yeah, we love getting back to normal, don't we. Yeah,

120
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: everything about the mask thing is horrible. Um, because no

121
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: one's gonna learn good lessons from it. Uh. And yeah,

122
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: it's like any any resistance, it's like, well you say this,

123
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: now I'm saying this, Like there's there are people who

124
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, I'm against the masks because they don't work.

125
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Now there's a vaccine, Well I'm against the vaccine that's

126
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: not gonna work. In fact, I'm going to start wearing

127
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: a mask. It's like, what do you believe at all?

128
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: And it's like it's just so frustrating that the lesson

129
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: couldn't be like, well, it was good that we had

130
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: masks when we needed them, and maybe now during flu

131
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: season more people were wear masks in the grocery store

132
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: because it just is a good idea keeps health and

133
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: we don't have to talk about it. It doesn't have

134
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: to be a thing. It's very well, that's going to

135
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: mandate this. Um yeah, it's it's super cool and fine

136
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: and everyone is different and if you don't want to

137
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: that's fine at a certain point. And uh uh yeah,

138
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: like my my mom, uh works with kids, she gets

139
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: she gets sick like four times a year. Didn't last

140
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: year at all. Um, And uh, I know it's just

141
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna turn into a thing where like any anyone with

142
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: a mask, someone's gonna bother them and like call them

143
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: a weak little baby or something. And um, it's not

144
00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna be great, but at least we have more vaccinations.

145
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: At least. Ohio's suggesting that they will pay a million

146
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: dollars to a few people. Yeah, that's the fact that

147
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: it works that well, that like giving up free beer

148
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: and bribing people and stuff is like what it actually

149
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: is going to take is just yeah, of course, of

150
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: course just use just use lottery logic to get people vaccinate.

151
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: You think like Miranda is going to like do a

152
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: rap and convince anyone to get the fucking vaccine. No,

153
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: just say you'll pay them. No. You know what would

154
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: have solved this whole problem is with the vaccines first

155
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: came out and said, hey, we're gonna have all the

156
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: We're going to have a contest. Everyone who gets vaccinated

157
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: as enrolled. Winner gets a billion dollars. You become a billionaire.

158
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: One person becomes a billionaires if you if you from

159
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: getting vaccinated, suddenly the whole conversation stops would have been

160
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: cheaper honestly than all of the other bullshit have been. Yeah,

161
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: would have saved money. Yes, it's dumb, it's a dumb

162
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: thing I suggested, but whole this is a dumb country.

163
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Everything that's happening is dumb. And also like to like

164
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: that is very dumb. It's kind of get dumber. One

165
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: billion dollars to one person is a dumb idea. It's

166
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: incredibly dumb idea, and it would have worked. Um, but

167
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: at this point, like even the million dollars, like split

168
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: it up, give, give, people of thousand dollars give more

169
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: a lot of money, Like, yeah, yes, but it were

170
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: it's apparently worked like there wasn't, but yes, bribe them.

171
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: It's literally the only way to actually to actually do

172
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: this is if you get the vaccine selection, you get

173
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: two votes, Yeah, you get you get to double up

174
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: on your votes just like really just like lean into

175
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: like just everything even more. Yeah, it's just just really

176
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: ruined the country a little a little harder, just a

177
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Oh god, well, Cody, we're all having a

178
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: good time here in America. Um, I'm excited by how quickly,

179
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: uh everyone seems to realize what was happening to Palestinians

180
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: was fucked up. And then um, there was this massive

181
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: backlash and uh the corporations who actually took a stand

182
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: like I g and weirdly enough, had to not take

183
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: a stand anymore. Guys like Mark Ruffalo who took a stand,

184
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: wound up backtracking because some real scary motherfucker's must have

185
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: either threatened them or made them feel I think Mark

186
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: Rufflo is probably a little bit of a pushover, so

187
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: they may have just you know, you get a bunch

188
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: of people he likes telling him that no you really

189
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: are wrong on this one, Mark, and he feels yeah,

190
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: like I'm sure there's like personal pressure and even you know,

191
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: like hey, you want to still be the Hulk better man. Yeah, yeah,

192
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how I like, honestly, I don't know

193
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: if it was like that or if it was just like, oh,

194
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo is is kind of a little bit of

195
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: a pushover and if like a dozen dudes he respects

196
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: also like, no, Mark, you got it wrong, because you

197
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:59,239
Speaker 1: know they're all getting a pack, like he changes his tune. Um,

198
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, it's just like the manufacturing of consent.

199
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: I guess happens as as I mean it has. It's

200
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: always been this open. I guess what what what is

201
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: honestly new is that anybody spoke up in behalf of

202
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Palestine for a little while, like a few, a few

203
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: got through. Yeah, I think I think there's some heartening

204
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: stuff they're actually um about, just like the number of

205
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: people who sort of realized what's what is going on?

206
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: Um and being able to condemn the actions of a

207
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: state and also condemn like bigotry against a religion like

208
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: the you know, any anti anti semitism towards people is

209
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: uncalled for and unwarranted and not at all anyone is

210
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: saying in terms of like the situation. People are obviously

211
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: saying it because they're anti semits out there, and bigotry

212
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: is hot commodity these days. It is a hot commodity.

213
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: And you know what else is a hot commodity, Cody

214
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: motherfucking authoritarianism. Oh yeah, no, it's one of our favorite things, big,

215
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: one of our biggest exports and imports. Yeah, it's doing

216
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: great these days, doing a lot better and the last

217
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: two weeks than bitcoin. Um. I think the big thing

218
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: that I'm kind of horrified about is what happened in Belarus.

219
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Basically there's this dude kind of like a blogger, opposition

220
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: journalist to the dictator of Belarus Lukashenko. Um. And he

221
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: was on a plane to Lithuania. Um. I think he

222
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: was heading to Villanius and uh, Belarus engineered a fake

223
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: bomb threat and claimed that it was Hamas, which classic

224
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: Hamas action, trying to blow up of an airliner headed

225
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: to Lithuania, hot bed of pro Israeli support Lithuania. Um,

226
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: how would you even bother with that? Yeah? Um, it's beau,

227
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, because they were in the news and it's

228
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: it's it's all he needed to throw out there. Um.

229
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: And so the plane and like a mid twenty one

230
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: like from Belarus, like escort this Ryanair flight. If you

231
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know Ryan Air, if you haven't spent a lot

232
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: of time in Europe, Ryanair is Spirit but worse. Um

233
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: that's Ryanair. Uh it's it's shitty your spirit, yeah, but

234
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: but worse Yeah. Um, they're both trash. But all the

235
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: only thing that's were the only airline I've been on

236
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: worse than Ryanair is probably fucking Whiz Air. Uh, like

237
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: quality of flight, quality of staff, just quality of quality

238
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: of staff, number of things that should be included in

239
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: an airline ticket that you actually have to pay more.

240
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Just a horrible airline. So they they they set down

241
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: in um in Belarus and um uh, this guy like

242
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: immediately recognized this. Oh I'm fucked. They're going to kill

243
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: me because this is what the regime does, Like I've

244
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: committed things that are executable offenses. They take him and

245
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: like four other passengers off. We don't really know entirely

246
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: why all of the others were taken off, but they

247
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: take him the picture we've seen like he was he's

248
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: clearly being tortured. He's probably going to be killed if

249
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: he's not dead already. Um, And you know it's because

250
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: this is this is set off on an uproar, like

251
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: the EU is currently shutting down all flights to and

252
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: out of Belarus, like making it in pot because and

253
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: which I think they need to do. Be like, okay, well,

254
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: if you're going to do ship like this, you don't

255
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: get to be connected to the rest of the world. Um,

256
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: because that's not okay, I think it. You know, you

257
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: need to have there need to be consequences to the regime.

258
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's going to mean anything. And

259
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: of course what we're already saying is because Lukashenka kind

260
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: of builds himself as like a continuation of the Soviet Union,

261
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: and like his regime is a continuation of the sovietis

262
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of dumbass tankys um who always defend

263
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: his ass. But one of the things that complicates this

264
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: is that this journalist may have had some real fucking

265
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: sketchy ties with the as Off Battalion in Ukraine. What

266
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: you're fucking Nazis like, this guy might be a complete

267
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: piece of ship, which doesn't change the fact that Belarus

268
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: had no right to divert a flight with a fake

269
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: terror attack in order to execute him, Like it doesn't

270
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: matter that he's a piece of ship in this specific

271
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Now you can argue that you should have done something

272
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: about this guy, as they should do about as a

273
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: or somewhere like Ukrainian government on the street could have

274
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: done something like yes, yes, I'm not, I don't know

275
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: that we we we don't know to a point of

276
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: certainty that this guy wasn't because there's some like maybe

277
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: he was trying to do a story from within them.

278
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm not it has not been conclusively shown. I think

279
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of evidence this guy had some has

280
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: some sketchy fucking connections. So I'm certainly not going to

281
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: defend this guy's good chances piece of shit. Um. It's

282
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: still terrifying what the what the Belarusian government did? Um?

283
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: And I don't like that, uh And I think people

284
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: need to like, there needs to be consequences otherwise, because

285
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: like one of the things that's being shown is like,

286
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: well the US did this when they forced uh Evo

287
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: Morales is playing down like that's actually not what happened

288
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: with evil because for one thing like his plane wasn't

289
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: forced down and he wasn't arrested and tortured and executed. Um,

290
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: that's that's that's not not actually what went down. UM.

291
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: And uh, it's just all stupid. Uh. Also, I mean,

292
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: aside from the fact that it's that's not quite the

293
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: best analogy. UM, if you're saying, if you're arguing in

294
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: favor of something and saying, well the US blah blah

295
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, that's not necessarily the best argument that

296
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: the US does things too. Um. Yeah. But UM so

297
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: will it will it be more information about that? Um?

298
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: Probably we'll see, Like it's this is still an ongoing situation,

299
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: as is the fallout to it. You know, I don't

300
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: we know what's going to happen, but I do think

301
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: we know that guys like air one, UM in Turkey,

302
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: guys like Putin, Um, guys like funk what's the Hungary

303
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: was I dictator of Yes, Buddha Jedge, Yes, dictator boot

304
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,879

Speaker 1: not a resident of Belarus anymore. Like I can push

309
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: you push here and then other people see that it's

310
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: ok Like yeah, yeah, anyway, it's pretty bad and not good.

Speaker 1: they're doing. Cody, we should talk about the Friends reboot.

Speaker 1: are you waiting for? Come on, I want to I will.

322
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm willing. I'm willing to sell weed. Yeah, since I

323
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: was nineteen and selling weed. There you got everything. We're back.

324
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: And I was joking earlier. I never sold weed, but

325
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: I did date a number of people, but because they

326
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: were my pot dealer, that's right, roommate, Um, you fucking criminal.

327
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: Well it was okay, I got high. Yeah, Well, so

328
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't count. Right, it's a real plus in a relationship.

329
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: If they also sell weed, um it goes. It's great.

330
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: You know. I also had my favorite guy who sold

331
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: me stranger person who sold me weed. Story was I

332
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: was living in a hovel once in ah in Lakewood, Dallas.

333
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: It was legally Zona's servants quarters. It was a small

334
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: one room house behind a duplex um that was in

335
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: terrible shape. My my two roommates, and I paid five

336
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty a month total for this place. It

337
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: was where I lived when I had saved up like

338
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: teaching special lead and I quit my job to try

339
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: to make it as a writer. And so I was like, Okay,

340
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: I can pay like two hundred bucks a month and

341
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: live for like six months here if I eat Ramen

342
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: and smoke ditch weed a right and a couple a

343
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: couple of months into living there, I'm showering during a

344
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: thunderstorm and the ceiling of the shower collapses in on me,

345
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: like falls down, like it all falls in on me.

346
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: And there's no roof over the shower now, thankfully, just

347
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: above the shower, which if you're gonna pick one area

348
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: to have no roof in your house, that is where

349
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: you'd pick. It makes for weird showers because if you're

350
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: having a hot shower while there's rain coming in, it's, oh,

351
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: that sounds amazing. Actually on on on meditative experience, that

352
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: must be. So we call we call the landlord, and

353
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: the landlord is this guy who is he's like in

354
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: his seventies. He's clearly kind of a burnout. He's not

355
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: a bad landlord as landlords go, because rent is cheap

356
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: as hell, and he does not give a fuck what

357
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: we do there or if we're doing illegal drugs or

358
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: any of that. But he also doesn't take care of

359
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: the place. And we met the owner of the place once.

360
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: The guy who owned the house was a dude whose

361
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: last name was a ship You not, Mr Escobar. He

362
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: lived down in Mexico, and he came up wants to

363
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: pick up a classic Volkswagen Beetle that he had parked

364
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: on the property, and he it was just a had

365
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: a fascinating mustache. So I don't know what the hell

366
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: was going on there. It was a shady property. We

367
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: call the property manager and we're like, the ceiling fell

368
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: in on the on the shower, you should probably do

369
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: something about that. And so he sends his repair guy

370
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: who takes one look at and he's like, yeah, that's

371
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: not getting fixed anytime soon. And then the same breath says,

372
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: do you want to buy some wheat? Yea. He for

373
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: months he didn't fix the hole in the roof, but

374
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: once every two weeks he would drop off fifty dollars

375
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: an ounce of like pretty good popcorn for fifty bucks

376
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: and like leave it in the in the tool shed.

377
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: And it was a great again, one of the best

378
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: landlord tylation. No no, no, I paid fifty bucks for

379
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: that ship. But it was a good price. That's it's

380
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: a good price. I I wish he was a little

381
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: more generous and that you can't shower is not gonna

382
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: fit me fixed, but here's some weed. Everyone's to it

383
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: was more shower is not going to be fixed, but

384
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: I'll sell you some weeds. But in addition, I think

385
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: it's also like at that point it was much harder

386
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: to get you know, we were used to pay in

387
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: fifty bucks announce for like Mexican brickweed, which was not great,

388
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: and this was fifty dollars a month for like shake

389
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: from pretty good weed, which is a significant upgrade for

390
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: the same price. When you were anyway, story about your

391
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: was five fifty a month or whatever. It made me

392
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: think of when I was in Ohio in this four

393
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: D apartment. Uh and then you mentioned the shower breaking,

394
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: which also happened at my apartment. It's the roof. Just

395
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: call oh good. I didn't get weird. I love having landlords.

396
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Cody, how do you feel about aliens?

397
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: I support them. I feel that they definitely exist somewhere,

398
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: um in some shape or form, even possibly in the

399
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: oceans of Europa for example. UM. I think there uh,

400
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: there's enough water and various organic materials uh in in

401
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: the galaxy and the universe that um it is like,

402
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: of course there's there's something that there are Goldilocks conditions

403
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: elsewhere that or conditions that we don't even know can

404
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: support life that exists for sure, is my opinion. Generally. Yeah,

405
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I am, Like, I think there's

406
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: a definitely a non zero chance there's something we would

407
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: recognize as life outside of Earth in our solar system,

408
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: and almost certainly something. But I am kind of like,

409
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm not as much as I joke about it on Twitter,

410
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty leery of the idea that there's like

411
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: advanced life out there with fucking spaceships and ship visiting

412
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: us just because like one of the things, I'm not

413
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: great at physics, But it seems like there's a good

414
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: chance that even if there's a bunch of other life

415
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: out there, it would never be able to get here.

416
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: Because maybe that's just like we're never going to have

417
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: the star Trek ship. Maybe all that's nonsense and there's

418
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: no point and go generally, I think that there is

419
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: a possibility of that. It's like we're not we're not

420
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: closer there. But I think that, um, intergalactic space travel

421
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: or just interstellar space travel quickly is going to be

422
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: possible one day if we fucking survive and uh be

423
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: and and be. But if we're if we get better

424
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: at what at who we are, if we actually be

425
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: best for sure, yeah, if we if we be best,

426
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: then I think that that it's possible, um, but not

427
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: necessarily like you know obviously like instantaneous travel. But um,

428
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: I think, uh, so many things are possible, um that

429
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: we just can't comprehend and have no even perception of.

430
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: And uh it looks like it sounds like magic, but

431
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: it's just we just don't understand it yet. UM. But

432
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: I also think that a civilization that is at that level,

433
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: which I don't. I have no real opinion in one

434
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: way or the other and whether or not uh a

435
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: species has gotten to that point. Um. But if they

436
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: were to, I feel like there would be uh, like

437
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned star trek ship, like some sort of like

438
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: they're not gonna come and funk with us, um or

439
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, interact with us unless it's um, you know,

440
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: they need our resources, which I also always think is

441
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: kind of funny because if you're highly dvancilization, uh, and

442
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: you're like, oh we need we need water, we need gold,

443
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: we need carbon, like whatever it is you need, it

444
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: is everywhere. There's a lot of that s everywhere. There's

445
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: there's whole planets that are just like diamond or gold,

446
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: or there's the entire planet of diamond. Uh. There is

447
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: just there's a I forget how large it is, immense.

448
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: It's just water. It's literally a cool of water floating space.

449
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: There's plenty of ship out there. Like the it's the universe,

450
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: it's it's it's got everything in it. Yeah. So the

451
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: idea that like, oh they need they need our resources

452
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: just laughable to me, unless it's like they need our

453
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: human p specifically, they need a harvest our human p um.

454
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: But if it's just like a mineral or an element,

455
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: I find that to be pretty ridiculous. Um, because if

456
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: we had interstellar travel, we're like, oh, we need hydrogen,

457
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: we gotta go find a society. It's ridiculous. Yeah, um,

458
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know. So here's here's here's what

459
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: we're actually talking about today is there's there's more alien

460
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: ship in the news, right is that video that came

461
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: out with those fighter pilots who were what off the

462
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: coast of fucking San Diego or something, and they saw

463
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: a thing and they were like, oh, whatever it is,

464
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: it's so much better than anything we have. It's you know,

465
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: a thousand times you know, more advanced than they And

466
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: this is like this is the way it always goes.

467
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: It seems new, I think to people who don't haven't

468
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: paid a lot of attention to the history of like

469
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: people talking about UFOs, but like the ship that gets

470
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: people up in arms is always fighter pilots, because like

471
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: some some dude from like bum fuck Oklahoma is like, yeah,

472
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: I saw me some ship in the sky and we're like, okay,

473
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: Cletus like, yeah, I'm sure you fucking did called star. Yeah,

474
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: you you have been day drunk since nineteen seventy six.

475
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised fighter pilots people trust, even though they

476
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: lie about for example, um, civilian casualties. UM. But yeah,

477
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: people trust. People assume like yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. People like, Okay,

478
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: a fighter pilot, you gotta have like a clear head

479
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: on your shoulder to do that gig. You have to

480
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: like yeah, and they assume, Okay, if you see a

481
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: thing and you like fly around it and it's like, oh,

482
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: this doesn't do work like any plane I've seen, they

483
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. And it's certainly like I

484
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: will say, a more credible report, it deserves to be investigated.

485
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: When when a pilot is like I saw some ship

486
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: that deserves to be investigated. When maybe some dude sitting

487
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: out in a bio in Louisiana's he's a lighting this

488
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: guy and maybe not worth an investigation. Um, but there's

489
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: a there's a couple of things going on here. UM.

490
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: One of them is that uh, pilots um are eye witnesses,

491
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: and eye witnesses suck like as a as a as

492
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 1: a matter of like something that has been consistently shown

493
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly in data on how good people are at accurately

494
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: recalling events. Eyewitnesses are bad and the footage that exists

495
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: is not clear enough to know what the hell people

496
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: are seeing like it it could all like I haven't

497
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: seen any footage where I'm like, oh, there's no way

498
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: that's a drone. UM. It is unregulated. Yeah, and there's

499
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: like a collective thing with eyewitnesses to or like they

500
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: sort of like start to combine their stories and create

501
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: like one uh. And also like yeah, like not recalling

502
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: UM a day later and like filling in the blanks

503
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: and the farther you get away from it, the less

504
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: like the actual event that it becomes UM. But also

505
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: more often than not the videos can be explained UM

506
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: and and in in fact when you look at because

507
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: obviously I'm not saying reports of extraterrestrial shouldn't be investigated.

508
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying they should be and are UM. There's a

509
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: specific branch of the Air Force or of the Department

510
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: of Defense, at least the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program

511
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: UM that books into this ship. And there have been

512
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: precursors to that, like Object Blue Book, and more than

513
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: nine of the reports have had a definitive answer as

514
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: to what it was. Uh. And that doesn't mean that

515
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: eight or nine or whatever percent are definitely UFOs. It

516
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: means they just like they didn't have enough information to

517
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: make a conclusion. And that's right. That's the other thing too,

518
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: because those eight or nine percent, that does mean that

519
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: those are UFOs. Because the UFO is an unidentified flying object,

520
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: it's still unidentified. If if if something is a UFO,

521
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: that that's not a synonym for aliens. Yeah, yes, is

522
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: not equal flying saucer and equals a thing. Yeah. Yeah,

523
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: I want to believe that I shouldn't want to believe

524
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: I will. I do want to believe, Like we're all

525
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: fundamentally uh sympathetic to Fox Molder, um history's greatest hero.

526
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: But uh Fox Molder, as a couple of friends of

527
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: ours have chronicled for the last several years, was a maniac. Yeah.

528
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, maybe. Don't don't take a um um or

529
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: or anything. He's anything. He's made, He's made some left

530
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: on that submarine. Um. He just wants to believe, doesn't

531
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: want to believe. He needs to believe. He needs to believe,

532
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: and that's why you shouldn't take him seriously about anything,

533
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,479
Speaker 1: because he's he's out of his God damn, he's just

534
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: like all of the people who wind up having the

535
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: most compelling stories about UFOs. And that brings us to

536
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: this most recent swell of UFO ship, which has generally

537
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: been like in both the mainstream media and in a

538
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: lot of just like social media seems to be like,

539
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: oh wow, you know, people haven't this hasn't been a

540
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: big topic. But like the military is certain now that

541
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: they're why isn't anyone talking about this because that's not

542
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: what's happened, Because that's absolutely not what's happening. Um. The

543
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: first thing people should know is that almost like the

544
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: bulk of what's coming out now is based around the

545
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: the personal recollections of a guy in and Luis Elizondo,

546
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: who talked to Wire in you know, I don't know,

547
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly when he talked to Wired. We

548
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: talked to the New York Times as well, and he

549
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: bills himself as a member of a a t I

550
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: p UH, the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, which like

551
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: investigated flying foreign weapon threats uh UFOs or whatever. They

552
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: don't call him UFOs. They call them up unidentified aerial

553
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: from you a p S. It's a UFO. They're just

554
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: trying to be less, you know. Yeah, they don't want

555
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: people to think, yeah exactly. Yeah, this is actually an

556
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: example of the Defense Department being in intelligent and savvy

557
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: about and being like, oh, if we have a UFO

558
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: investigation thing, people, we're just going to be like, there's

559
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: definitely aliens. Yeah, um, so good on them for knowing something. Um,

560
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, so this this fucking guy, um yeah, who

561
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: talked to who's like the core of the fucking New

562
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: York Times is story was the core of a couple.

563
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Wired actually did a pretty good job of

564
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: like investigating this guy. But he's like he's framed himself

565
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: as a fox molder. He's been like, you know, I

566
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: worked for this this branch. I kept running into things

567
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: I couldn't explain. I thought there was a cover up,

568
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: people trying to like stop me or stop this from

569
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: being discussed more widely. How there's definitely aliens and like

570
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: so in two thousand seventeen, I left to try to

571
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: tell the people the truth, Like he's really trying to

572
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: frame himself as Molder or a whistleblower. But one problem,

573
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: there's not a goddamn bit of evidence he actually worked

574
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: for a T I P. Like not a not a

575
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: a single like he definitely worked for the Defense Department. Um,

576
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: but he did. There's nothing that ties him to the

577
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: people who were actually looking for UFOs um and he

578
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: immediately when he left the Defense Department, he's tried to

579
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: get into the entertainment show and ship that's the ping right,

580
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: like that's the oh okay, never mind. Yeah, a savvy grifter,

581
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: very successful. Um. All these people talking about it like

582
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: it's this thing. He got a History Channel show. Um,

583
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: but yeah he's he's trying to be like I'm the

584
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: Fox Molder. But you know, Fox Molder didn't get on

585
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: the History Channel. Fox Motor grabbed a gun and hijacked

586
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: a Gondolas and he stayed in the shipping lit like

587
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: little Guy's corpse on fire for no reason, and tried

588
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: to break into the Defense Department the Pentagon without disguising

589
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: he did Fox moldor did some fucking nutty ship. Alizondo's

590
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: just Griffin, you know, Fox Molder. Um took a stand

591
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: and it was took a stand the best standard, but

592
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: he did it, and he stuck with a good stand.

593
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 1: He's stuck with it. He watched a lot of weird

594
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: porn anyway, that's I'm sure Alisondo does too. Um, so

595
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: he's not. Yeah, oh good, so the big New York

596
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Times article, Um well, okay. So one of the things

597
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: that's frustrating about this is how Scientific American has characterized

598
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: because a lot of the reporting. You have this New

599
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: York Times article, and then you have people reporting on

600
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: the New York Times article, and that creates this perception

601
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 1: that there's like a lot of ship coming out about

602
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: UFOs when there really isn't. Well right, it's and the

603
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: it's pointing out. It's pointing out that there isn't, but

604
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: the landscape makes it seem like, oh, everyone's talking about aliens, Like, well, no,

605
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: they're pointing out this story is not that. Uh well yeah,

606
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: and it's it's bizarre. Um, Like a number of the

607
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: things that are like sketchy about this is like so uh.

608
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: The Scientific American kind of summarizes the three revelations in

609
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: this New York Times article based on Alisondo as like

610
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: number one. Many high ranking people in the federal government

611
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: believe aliens have visited planet are not a revelation. Lots

612
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: of people at everybody's like, yeah, yeah, I'm sure Trump

613
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: was being honest and he was like yeah, maybe, like

614
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: because I doubt, Like I don't. I don't think there's

615
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: really any evidence that the fucking d O D has

616
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: You know why, because they're shitty at keeping secrets, um right,

617
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: they're they're they're bad at it, and it would immediately

618
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: leak out if there was hardcore if there was a

619
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: single photograph of an extraterrestrial it would immediately get leaked immediately.

620
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: People would people in the Pentagon would happily die to

621
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: get that information out because it's it's it's aliens. Like

622
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: that's the thing about it. Like at a certain points,

623
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: like if it if there's conclusive evidence, somebody's gonna somebody's

624
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna point that out and bring it out and like that,

625
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: you can't put that back in the bag. Um no,

626
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: because we all want people, we all want it to

627
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: be true. Every single nobody's like hope aliens don't exist.

628
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: That would like I hope are the only ones in

629
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: the billions and billions and billions of plants, um everybody

630
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 1: wants this to be real. So if there was hard evidence,

631
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: it would immediately like one of the hardest pieces of

632
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: confirmation that we don't have proof one way or the

633
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: other is Trump didn't tweet it out, which he would

634
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: have absolutely, Donald John and Trump would keep that secret.

635
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: He made a vlog about it. Make a vlog, Yeah,

636
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: he would make He would have made a fucking vlog

637
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: about it. He would have done a Twitter live stream

638
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: from Area fifty one showing us the aliens. Yeah, there's

639
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: no way. Um. And it's just the thing. It's the

640
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: thing that happens all the time, even like it seems

641
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: it just seems like a like a little morsel or

642
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: a distraction just to like say, say, like even Clinton

643
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: when she was running said like, yeah, I'll declassify all

644
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: the alien stuff if it's out there. It's all right. Yeah,

645
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: because it's not. And you know it's not because you

646
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: know the government as well as I know the government,

647
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: and you know that it's bad at keeping this kind

648
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: of secret. The kind of secrets it's good at keeping

649
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: is like, we secretly funneled eleven million dollars to this

650
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: guy who's a friend of a congressman. So that he

651
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: could half construct a bridge, and that's going to take

652
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: twenty years to get out because we've buried the information

653
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: about it. In a thousand or like, we lost three

654
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: billion dollars in cash in Iraq, like physically lost, like

655
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: there were pallets of money that they landed and unloaded

656
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: and lost. That happened. Took a while for people to

657
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: like that, but it had like that's kind of ship

658
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: you can you can you can swirl that around and

659
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: it'll take a while. It all eventually comes out. And

660
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: that's the thing. It eventually comes out. Like even that,

661
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: it's like comes out, yeah, and like nobody's like there

662
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: are there are upset, like people obsessed about like I

663
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: gotta like there, where's the money that we lost? Like

664
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: there's no like obsessive people doing that. A bunch of

665
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: dudes in Iraq right right, like we're like, I guess

666
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: we should steal this money. Let's give some of it

667
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: to some of the soldiers guarding it and take it again.

668
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: I've known because of, you know, just my job as

669
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: a journalist. I've had to talk to a number of

670
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: people in the defense industry. I've known because I come

671
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: from a family with a military background. A number of

672
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: people in the defense industry. I've known people in the

673
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: intelligence industry. It's part of like the job. Um, I

674
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: don't believe anyone like you. Look at what kind of

675
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: ship leaked out about the FED response to the BLM

676
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: protest last year. How many guys from within the agency

677
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: leaked out ship about like improper crowd control techniques. And

678
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: that's something that's a lot less controversial than fucking aliens,

679
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: which I guarantee you a ton of fens would be like,

680
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I would fucking leak that out like anything

681
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: look bad? Like no, like yeah, yeah. This does not

682
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: mean to be clear that I or you have any

683
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: faith in the federal government or any faith in like

684
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 1: the inherent goodness of people. It's not about good or bad.

685
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: It's about no one could keep aliens a secret, Like

686
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: it's just not going to happen. Um. And this is

687
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: not me having faith in anything. It's just me having

688
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: the basic understanding of human beings who can't keep their

689
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: fucking mouth shut about especially about fucking aliens, especially a

690
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: looking aliens. The coolest thing that could possibly happen, um, Like,

691
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: it's the kind of thing if they fucking found conclusive

692
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: evidence that there was a microbe in the fucking atmosphere

693
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: of Venus um that ship would leak out before the

694
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: scientific report. It would leak out a thousand times before

695
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: they could actually like to explain, like it's just a

696
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: microbe and that's important. But like it's not like people

697
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: would be talking about the aliens on Venus for fucking

698
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: days before that report hit, because no one would be

699
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: able to keep their fucking mouth shut about it. Yeah.

700
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: Like because also like you like they're going you bring

701
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: in like you have to study these things. Scientists especially

702
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: not just like people in general. Scientists want aliens to exist.

703
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: It's like one of the things that they really want

704
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: to find. It would sell, it would like help them.

705
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: It's just yeah, the whole thing is just um Yeah.

706
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: The second point we're off. We're all fox molders at heart.

707
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: We all want to hijack a gondolad gun point and

708
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: by god, one day I'll do it. One day, I'll

709
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: do it, you know th D printed guns. It'll want

710
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: them not that long a flight away. Oh sorry, I

711
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: want to I want to believe in aliens, but I

712
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: do believe in you doing that. Thank you, Cody. Thank

713
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: you for helping me get on the no fly list.

714
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: Um So, the second point in in sort of the

715
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: summary of this New York Times story. The first was

716
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: that obviously high ranking people the federal government think aliens

717
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: it is there. Of course, second point is military pilots

718
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: have recorded videos of UFOs with capabilities that seemed to

719
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: outstrip all known human aircraft changing direction and accelerating and

720
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: no wigs, no fighter jet or helicopter could ever accomplish.

721
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: I believe they've seen that. I have not seen evidence

722
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: or heard evidence that suggests it's stuff a drone couldn't do,

723
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: because drones do things that planes because there's not a

724
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: person who can black out in a drone. You know. Yeah,

725
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: there's a lot of um excessive yeah, yeah yeah, first

726
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: things you can do with the drone that you can't Yeah,

727
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: but also a lot of like again, like many of these,

728
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: like you said, like it's something like what nineties some

729
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: percent have been explained. There are people that know how

730
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: like cameras work, um, and how certain things work. When

731
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: they can look at and go, oh, well it's it's

732
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: this like if I can recreate it right now, and

733
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: they recreate it and um, so just like the I

734
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: don't know, it's all it's it's still unidentified, and that's what. Yeah,

735
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you know, Cody, you know it's not unidentified.

736
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: You know it's well identified, because I'm fairly certain it's

737
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: a legal requirement to identify promo code ads when you're yeah,

738
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: when you're when you're pitching ads. I think I think

739
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: you have to you have to be clear about that,

740
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: although a lot of times people aren't because our entire

741
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: childhood was just us being marketed to in the in

742
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: the guise of beautiful cartoon robots. So I don't know

743
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this, Cody, Um, I can't wait

744
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: to buy Megatron. Oh ship, Yeah, that's also together everything.

745
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: We're back. We're back with you Megatronsfrons three, Megatron for

746
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: the price of Galactus. I don't know. I don't know. Um,

747
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: I don't know aliens. I don't know. I don't know. Um,

748
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't know aliens. Well, I know premise of this asciaka,

749
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: I know a significant number, But which super like famous

750
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: or well known human? Do you think it's actually an

751
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: alien and not actually a human? Oh? Yeah, Nicolas Cage,

752
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: is there another answer to that question? Possibly? Yeah, it's good.

753
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: Is there another answer you could possibly give to that question?

754
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 1: He's here answer that I'm like, that's really good answer. Yeah, um, honestly,

755
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump is close on account of the way

756
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: he talks and some of the things he said and

757
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: does not talk. He does not talk like anyone I've

758
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: ever heard before in my life. He invented phrases for

759
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: like for all time. I would like this to be

760
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,959
Speaker 1: a movie, and I think it would be a successful movie,

761
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: and I know for a fact, to a point of certainty,

762
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: that Nicholas Cage would be degree and agree to be

763
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: hit it. You have Nicholas Cage play himself as an

764
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: alien who has come to Earth because his species desperately

765
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: needs Maybe they have Sharon ancestor with dinosaurs and in

766
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: order to fix a genetic problem, they need to buy

767
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: up all of the Tyrannosaurus skulls they can the whole career.

768
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: Because Nicolas Cage went badly in debt because he was

769
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: buying so so many dinosaurs. I think I feel like

770
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: you could have a fun movie. I think Nicholas Cage

771
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: is the best answer, but I'd also like to throw

772
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: in Judge, Judge. Judge Judge could be not judge. Oh

773
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't know her. Oh Jane Piero. Yeah, she's not

774
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: a time she's not an alien, right, Yeah, she's just

775
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: an alcoholic. Yeah, she's just our afternoon TV wine. Yeah. Uh,

776
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: we all just won our afternoon TV wine, don't we foaks.

777
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: So point number three from this New York Times article

778
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: that we are slowly getting through was in a group

779
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: of buildings in Las Vegas, the government stockpiles alloys and

780
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: other materials believed to be associated with UFOs. Now that

781
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: sounds that's the only thing here that sounds amazing. That

782
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: sounds like a huge change, a massive because that's confirmation

783
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: that there's sucking extratristrials, right, And that's how it's being

784
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: like a lot of sort of those Yeah, there's like,

785
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: oh my god, the government does there's a real area

786
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: fifty one type thing the government has, you know, um,

787
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, And that's how this uh, this fucking what's

788
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: his name um Alisando has been kind of framing it

789
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: is like the government has these alloys that we can't identify. Now,

790
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: that's not actually what um, that's not actually what the

791
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,959
Speaker 1: what the article says. The article says, and a quote

792
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: from the New York Times article here quote the company

793
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: involved in the dodve research modified buildings in Las Vegas

794
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: for the storage of metal alloys and other materials that

795
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: programmed contra actors said had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena.

796
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: Researchers also studied people who said they had experienced physical

797
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: side effects from encounters. Yeada, YadA, YadA. There's no evidence

798
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: that these alloys are unexplainable or unidentified, just that they

799
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: came from aircraft that we don't know where the aircraft

800
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: originated from. Could be Russian, Chinese, could be something a

801
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: different branch of our government threw up into this guy

802
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: and didn't tell other branches about. Um, we nothing about

803
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: that says the alloys themselves are unidentified, and like fucking

804
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: scientists have been pointing out, like, well, even if these

805
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: are from aliens, we would almost certainly be able to

806
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: identify the alloys because there's only so many things that

807
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: are out there. It might be unless mixing them, but

808
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: like we would be able to figure it out. Like

809
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: unless it's like all are all new elements that we've

810
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: never discussed. But even then you would go in and

811
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: like look at, uh, well, Okay, it's this man, It's like,

812
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: this is what the element um. But yeah, the idea

813
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: that like the unknown alloys, like we'll know the alloys

814
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: and unknown the source of the alloys. Yeah, the reality

815
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: is stuff we don't know where it came from. Like

816
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: we know that our government has spent most of the

817
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 1: last seventy years shooting all kinds of weird planes into

818
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: foreign air spaces to take pictures of things. We shouldn't

819
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: have been taking pictures of a bunch of ship that

820
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: was secret until like we know we've been doing that. Obviously,

821
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: other governments have done the same thing to us. Some

822
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: of that ship crashed. Also, everybody has launching all sorts

823
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: of nonsense and a fucking space. Some of that comes

824
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: down to the earth and they just find it and

825
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: they're like, well, we don't know what this is because

826
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: there's not enough of it left. Let's put it in

827
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: the room with all of the other junk. Like but

828
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: if they looked in the outlet, they'd be like, oh,

829
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: it's metal. It's like the metals that we know. It's metal.

830
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: It's the metal that gets used that goes into the air.

831
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes Yeah, it's just yeah, um, so I don't know.

832
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: That's I guess the boat bulk of what. Um, that's

833
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: the bulk of what what's going on here? And there's

834
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: of course there's this other pattern that I don't know

835
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: how much I want to get it into talking about,

836
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: but like there's this pattern of like uncomfortable discussions start

837
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: happening about things the d O D is involved in,

838
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: and it's time to talk about aliens some more to

839
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: distract people. This one seemed kind of weirdly timed, with

840
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: like everyone complaining about all of the weapons money we

841
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: send Israel and then suddenly for the ethnic cleansing and

842
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: then suddenly there's a lot of alien ship going on. Um.

843
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: There's also an allegation like well, you know, this is

844
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: how they are trying now since the war on Terror

845
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: thing doesn't work as well anymore, to justify what we

846
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: need to give more money to make it. We've got

847
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: this alien department now, so you should have um yeah,

848
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's you know, who knows, but that is

849
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: uh something that it's like worth considering because also like

850
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: a lot of these videos, uh they're not new. Uh

851
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: they pop up every once in a while and people

852
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: see yeah, like I remember like not every detail of

853
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: this new cycle, but like you can remember like, oh, yeah,

854
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: we did this already, we had a we had a

855
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: new cycle. We're like, oh, aliens and these videos and this,

856
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: and the Department of Defense thinks that, like they're military

857
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: people who think aliens exist, Like this isn't really a

858
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: new story. It's not, of course, and of course it's

859
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: not because, um, if if there are and there maybe,

860
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: if there are are intelligent, hyper advanced aliens that can

861
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 1: do what what will colloquially referred to as star trek shit,

862
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: the last thing they would do is let our messy

863
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: asses see them like that. That is, under no circumstances

864
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: are are they letting that ship happen? Like yeah, there's

865
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: so much about like like I was talking about, like

866
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: the needing our resource like funk off, they got the

867
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: thing we have they need. The only thing they might

868
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: we might have that they need is like a animals

869
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: that they know we're going to wipe out. And if

870
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: they're a better species and view life is precious, that's

871
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: the only thing you can see. It's like, Okay, well

872
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: we gotta save some fucking ye're they're working on Like

873
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: these people clearly aren't going to get their ship together

874
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: before all these beautiful like Jim's die, So let's save

875
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: some fucking tree frogs. But like if they're you know,

876
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: if they made it here from who knows how far

877
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: away and how long it took um, and they served

878
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: unfathomable eons and they're flying around in ways that we

879
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: we've never seen this before. I don't think that our

880
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: shitty cameras would necessarily detect them, uh or even like

881
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: a human eyeball, Um, a human eyeball is very limited. Actually,

882
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: there's so much that we don't cats. Cats have better eyes. Yeah,

883
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: like we'd would we keep them because they make us

884
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: feel less lonely and yeah exactly, But like we got

885
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, we got a little sliver of the e

886
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: M spectrum. We can see. We can see this stuff.

887
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: Whether there's so much that we don't perceive. Um, yeah

888
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: that like they wouldn't there's like okay, so it's not

889
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: in that range. Yeah, alien life could be like a

890
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: cloud that neither our eyes nor any sensors invented can

891
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: see in any meaningful way. That is the size of planets,

892
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: and just every now and then sweeps over the planet,

893
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: perceives everything and moves on and we have no way

894
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 1: of knowing, like yeah, not like swooping in, flying around,

895
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: zipping around, going oh no they saw me, and then

896
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: like zipping off like that's yeah, like funk off with

897
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: that bullshit. Um Like, I mean, one of the fun

898
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: things to imagine is that aliens exist. They've got great engines,

899
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: but are otherwise just as dumb and messy as us,

900
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: which is a fun premise for Like that's basically Independence Day,

901
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: um or it's or it's basically like our future. Right, yeah, yeah,

902
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: we did it, but like stupid ship, we suck. Like

903
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 1: that episode of the Next Generation when Riker gets caught

904
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: hiding in an alien race and has to fund his

905
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: way out, that's happened a couple of times. Yeah, classic Riker.

906
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: That's what's actively happening with Nicholas Cage. He's working to

907
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: funck his way out of planet Earth. But using that's

908
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: the documentary Girls Are Easy, makes clear like obviously Jeff

909
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: Goldman has been trying to fun his way off planet

910
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: for decades. Um. Anyway, I guess that's all I have

911
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: to say about aliens. I understand. You can look up

912
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: the explanations of all these videos by like scientists who

913
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. If you'd like, like, thank

914
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: you to Garrison Davis for the research on the same

915
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, thanks Garrison for allowing Cody and I just

916
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: talk about what would be cool are aliens um, which

917
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: is not any of the things people talk about. There

918
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: was a fucking there was a motherfucker on Twitter because

919
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: I shared the on it got there was a real

920
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: motherfucker on the twits where Okay, so like there's this

921
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: video that comes out of these these fighter pilots being

922
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: like yeah, it was like a shaped like a tic tac.

923
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: It moved like nothing I've ever seen. And I like

924
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: posted and made some comment about tic Tac aliens just

925
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: because like I post about alien ship sometimes um. And

926
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: there's this mix of people who are like, you're just

927
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: laundering like the Defense Department propaganda, And I was like, okay,

928
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: like it's fine to joke about alien But there's also

929
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: this person who showed up in the comments of the

930
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: original like video from whatever news agency put it up

931
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: and was like, well, if there really are things like

932
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: this that are that much more advanced, it's imperative that

933
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: we like find them and take them down and capture

934
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: them to understand them. This needs to be the main

935
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: priority of the Defense Department. I don't think I've ever

936
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: seen a more unhinged post where it's like, so you

937
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: think that if there's hardcore evidence that aliens are here

938
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: with unfathomable technology, our first step should be to kidnap them.

939
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean that sounds like a person who works Department

940
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: of Defense, like, yeah, are you out of your goddamn

941
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: mind something just fear fear, the fear tic TACs um. No,

942
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: that that asolutely sounds like somebody works for the defense departments, like, yeah,

943
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: we gotta, we gotta the war on aliens, right, we needed,

944
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: we need we aliens yeah better than us at everything

945
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: and have unthinkable weapons technology. Let's punch him in the

946
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: dick to see if it hurts. Let's drink their blood.

947
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: What does that do? It does make me want like

948
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: a redo of Independence day. But instead of like the

949
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: aliens coming here to eat all of our resources, they're

950
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: just kind of like passing by because whatever like whatever

951
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: travel like this is like near our planet is just

952
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: a smooth place in the cosmic seed to go through,

953
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: and we like we like see that they have like

954
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot of copper and we're like, let's start a

955
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: war with the aliens to steal their with Elon Musk

956
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: needs batteries, let's massa, let's commit space genocychals. Yeah, yeah,

957
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: that is exactly what would happened. Like so many alien

958
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: like movies and stories and things like that are are

959
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: that like written, They're so clearly written from the perspective

960
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: of a human being, like what a human being wouldn't

961
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: want to do, Like, well, if we were the aliens,

962
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: we do this. Therefore, the aliens are going to do this, um,

963
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: which is kind of ridiculous considering um, yeah, the possibility. Anyway,

964
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: I want to We pitched a couple of decent screenplays.

965
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: I think Mr Cage jump on this, jump on it now. Yeah,

966
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: you've got to get You've got to get the bones.

967
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: You've got to get the bones. Call it honestly, make

968
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: it a ninety minute movie. It'll cost forty million dollars.

969
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: Half of that will go to Nicolas Cage. Call it

970
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage is literally an alien. Throw it up on Netflix,

971
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: you'll make your money back. Or Galactic Treasure. What about

972
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: Tom Natural Treasure to he's saying, speak, what about Tom Cruise?

973
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is the most perfectly human man who has

974
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: ever existed. I have I have no doubts about Tom

975
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Cruise's humanity. But he's also an alien possessed by Zeno, right,

976
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, no, he that, but he believes literally the opposite,

977
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: that he's got the aliens out of him and that's

978
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: why he's so good at climbing up tall buildings. That's right,

979
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the entirety of scientology. He's alien, he's alien. Crey,

980
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: he's pure, He's pure human. Yeah, Like that's the whole

981
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: thing they believe about themselves, is they got all the

982
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: ghosts out of their blood. Um, that's a buddy alien comedy.

983
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: I would watch if Tom Cruise is That's my point.

984
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: I think it would be a beautiful film, or maybe

985
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: throw another thirty million onto the budget. Tom Cruise is

986
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: hunting Nicholas Cage because he's he knows Nick Cage as

987
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: an alien, and scientologists are fighting the aliens instead of like, uh,

988

Speaker 1: you know, thet and readers and just sort of like

1023
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,920

01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: and I just needed to talk, like what if have

1025
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: you ever thought about, Like I'm just off the top

1026
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: of my head, what if a show was like this

1027
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,000

1028
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: and this happened the second Yeah, yeah, yeah. The reality

1029
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: of this episode is that Cody and I used to

Speaker 1: hang out more and haven't gotten to in a while

1031
