1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: Mothman, I think is a great vehicle for sort of

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: conveying you what you want to share with us in

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: your book Messages from Mathman. A lot of books have

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 2: been written about the circumstances around that event in West

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: Virginia back in the sixties. Here your book looks at

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: it from a different angle. I mean, a lot of

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: people had premonitions and dreams, but they really didn't need

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: the warnings walk us through it. What the message from

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 2: Mathman is.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: Well, the message from Mathman would definitely be individual interpretation, right.

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 3: And that's the thing about clairvoyance or mediumship or premonition

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: kind of stuff is so often even the different different

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: people that are bringing forth premonition or information about the

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: future are often very different. And it has a lot

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: to do with, in my opinion, how the individual that

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: it is getting this information is interpreting it. But not

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: only that, is how the information that the receiver is getting,

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 3: the person that's supposed to get the message is also

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: interpreting it. You know, no one said, at least not

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: in what I've read and what other people have written

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: on math man. No one said or front loaded that

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: movement was there to warn us about the Silver Bridge collapse.

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: You know, that was that interpretation much later. And that's

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: what's interesting about a lot of these pre cognitive or

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: premonition type interpretations is they don't often become there's not

27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: a lot of clarity until after the event occurs. You know,

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: everybody has been or not everybody, but a lot of

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: people of them studying Nurse Damas for you know, decades,

30
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: if not a century or more, and oftentimes his quadrains

31
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: and and the the way he writes about the future

32
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: is so cryptic that, you know, the the cynics and

33
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: I say the cynics, not the skeptics, But these cynics

34
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: will come in and say, well, you can turn this

35
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 3: into any kind of uh message that you want. It's

36
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: just all about the interpretation. And I believe that at

37
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: that point there is a little faith or a little

38
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: internal guidance that that we have to rely on whenever

39
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: we get information like that.

40
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: Well, I can see what you mean is that people

41
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: are seeing a giant mothman flying around in the sky.

42
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: It's a terrible, terrifying experience, but it doesn't necessarily tell

43
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: you don't drive on the on the bridge on this night, right, sure?

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: Right? And it works the whole thing, especially with mav Man.

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: Is I mean when you whenever I do an investigation,

46
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: I look at it from a cold case standpoint when

47
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: I do a paranormal investigation, because typically it's a cold

48
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: case kind of thing, so I will boil down a

49
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: lot of the superfluous information. When I wrote Roswell the

50
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: after Action Report. To do that, I had to look

51
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: at the nineteen ninety four release that the Air Force

52
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: conducted their own investigation on their own agency and came

53
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: out with an almost one thousand page document that was

54
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: nothing but a bunch of gibbers. It was a whole

55
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: bunch of fluff that some kernels could say, we did

56
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of work. We reviewed millions of documents

57
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: and this is what we came up with. Do you agree?

58
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: And that's not how you do an investigation. You know,

59
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: you don't front load and prep your witnesses and the

60
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: folks that are providing that testimony. So that's the real

61
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: hard thing about Monckman and Mockman. If I wrote a report,

62
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: a comprehensive, chronological, complete police report on Mockman, it would

63
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: probably be twe pages long maybe, so a lot of

64
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: what happened with Makman is very impactful, but it was sparse,

65
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: There was no lot, and it was it wasn't a

66
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: wide widespread phenomena at the time. But as books are written,

67
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: as more articles are written, more people are looking at

68
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: it and of course coming forward with those little things

69
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: that I remember one time when I was driving down

70
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: the start road, there was this dark thing that flew

71
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: out and so then they jump on the bandwagon with

72
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: the with the witnesses. So when I went in to

73
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: do this book, that was the thing that I really

74
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 3: looked at, was it took me down so many different

75
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: rabbit trails and rabbit holes that it kind of turned

76
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: into something else. Because this is not an isolated from

77
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: online in West Virginia.

78
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: At least one of those witnesses that you write about,

79
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: the female newspaper reporter, her dream, her premonition was really

80
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: pretty specific. I mean, it's got people drowning in water,

81
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: you know, right, that's.

82
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, And that was the thing about her. She worked,

83
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: I remember ran she worked for anyway, it was it

84
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: was the point pleasant register, if I remember ring and

85
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: often you know, being a professional investigative reporter, you know

86
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: that you don't want to include yourself and your reports. Yeah,

87
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 3: in this case, she did. Once she spoke with Lauren Coleman,

88
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: and Lauren Coleman was writing a book about it, and

89
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: she shared her very pretty intense dream that she had

90
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: about her experience as far as what she saw. And

91
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: that was something really interesting because, like I said before,

92
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: that normally reporters don't do that.

93
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it would have been hard for anybody

94
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: who had any of those experiences, either seeing Mothman or

95
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: having the dreams of people drowning or indrid colder than

96
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 2: men in black things that also happened in and around

97
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: the Mothman phenomena, it'd be hard pressed to figure, Ah, well,

98
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: here's what's going to happen. That bridge is going to collapse.

99
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: But there is an example you have in your book

100
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: that it did seem to be a more specific kind

101
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: of a warning, and that's about Chernobyl share with us

102
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: be kind of things that people were thinking and feeling

103
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: and imagining leading up to the Chernobyl disaster. Yeah.

104
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: So, and that's one of those other things I threw

105
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: in there a while ago. As far as the difference

106
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: between skeptic and cynic, so I kind of always use

107
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: a continuum way. For the far left is a true believer.

108
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: No matter what you tell this person, they're going to

109
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: believe the magnificent event, whatever that is, the supernatural event,

110
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: you can't talk about it. Then on the other side,

111
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: you had the cynic that doesn't believe in anything and

112
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: rolls their eyes as soon as you bring it up. Well,

113
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: a skeptic is going to float around there in the

114
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: middle of someplace based on the evidence provided, based on

115
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: the experience provided, and contemporary psychologists and psychiatrists and most

116
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: people that study human behavior are going to say, in

117
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: a case like Chernobyl, most of those people were very

118
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: scared working there. You know, it was a pretty scary place,

119
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: thinking about what you're dealing with, the heat that you're

120
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 3: dealing with, and the fact that this equipment didn't always

121
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: function the way it did. But in the back of

122
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: their mind, like in the Aberfin coal disaster, everybody knew

123
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: that there was some there was problems, and so you

124
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: could say contemporarily that when these people would go to sleep,

125
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: they would have dreams about these things that they were

126
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: worrying about all day long. But with Chernobyl, the thing

127
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: that was interesting is much like Makman, there's a large

128
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: black creature. In some cases they talk about having red

129
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: eyes being in around that area and very prominent in

130
00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: the plume once the reactor actually exploded, and so that

131
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: was fascinating. There's several incidents like that, but you're right,

132
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 3: the Turnover one's probably the closest.

133
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: If I were to see a giant mock looking thing

134
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: with red eyes, dark black, you know, flying around to

135
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: the sky over me, you know, I'm not sure how

136
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: to react. My my reaction might be I'm staying home

137
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: for a couple of days. I'm not going anywhere, and

138
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: my luck would be a plane crashes into my house.

139
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, And in this case, I have to think

140
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: about it in both cases.

141
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: All right.

142
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: So in the case of the Silver Bridge, you're sitting

143
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: there and the traffic is completely backed up on this

144
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: bridge that was never made to hold this amount of

145
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: cars that you know, it's almost a forty year old bridge,

146
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: so cars have changed, the weight of cars have changed.

147
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: And then it's Christmas and everybody's trying to get get

148
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: home and traffic lights aren't working. As efficiently as they

149
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: should be, sort of backs traffic up all the way

150
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: across the bridgedge. And the design of the bridge was

151
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: bad to begin with the cable because I mean, I mean,

152
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: it spans two thousand feet over two thousand feet across there,

153
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: and it's not put together by you know, solid cables.

154
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: It's put together basically like chain links. They're not chained,

155
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: but they're a type of couple that is designed to flex,

156
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: and it basically has a pivot point on that and

157
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: one of the pivot points under that weight snapped and

158
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: that's that was a really unfortunate thing about the design

159
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: of this bridge is any one thing would have brought

160
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: that bridge down. Most of the most bridges the way

161
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: they'll go, you know, just one failure point that's not

162
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: going to bring the whole thing down. But in this

163
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 3: case it did. And when this is happening is when

164
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: some people said that they saw mofman kind of hovering

165
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: around out there watching, so they kind of leave me

166
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: away from that he was trying to warn us. Because

167
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: he was trying to warn us, he just swoop around

168
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: get everybody's attention. But in this case, the way it

169
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: was described as he's kind of back off of a

170
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 3: little bit up in the air and watching and as

171
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: a witness seeing all this happen, probably the last thing

172
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: you're thinking of is paying more attention to him, right,

173
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: you know, people falling in in the water and just

174
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: all of that just horrible.

175
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: There's an example you use in the book what you

176
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: call divine intervention, which sort of the flip side of

177
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: these terrible things happening. Maybe it's coincidence, synchronicity, but there's

178
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: an example you use from March nineteen fifty and Beatrice, Nebraska,

179
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: at a church, the choir is supposed to get together

180
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: and have a practice session share that story of what happened.

181
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's one of the really really interesting ones.

182
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: And like I said, from a real side from somebody

183
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: that I try to put my cases together, write my

184
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: cases in a way that would be presentable to a

185
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: grand jury. So whenever I do a paranormal case, that's

186
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: my goal is would I be embarrassed to walk into

187
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 3: a grand jury and share this information with them. In

188
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: this particular case nineteen fifties, and that was the West

189
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: End Baptist Church in Beatrice, Nebraskan, and that night the

190
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: choir of the church was supposed to practice at seven

191
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: point fifteen. So I can't remember what his name was.

192
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: The preacher of the church around four o'clock or so

193
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: fires up the furnace and then locks up the church

194
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: and heads home. He wants to heat heat the furnace up,

195
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: eat the church up, so the when the choir is

196
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: there that you know they'd be comfortable, and they're supposed

197
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: to be there seven to fifteen. Well, nobody show us.

198
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: Not a single one of the people in the choir

199
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: showed up, and they had afterward they were asked later.

200
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: Everybody had different reasons why, you know, some people were

201
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 3: late making dinner, some people just didn't feel like it.

202
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: Some people were watching a TV program and they it

203
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: went long. But they were supposed to be there seven fifteen.

204
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: At seven five, the entire church exploded. And the odds

205
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: and that's what I look at. A lot of times

206
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: people say, well, that's miraculous. Well they kind of the

207
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: definition of miraculous is one in a million. So if

208
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: it was a one in a million thing, that was

209
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: a miraculous thing, and you could interpret it as you know,

210
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: a divine intervention thing. And for the fact that not

211
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: a single person from the choir showed up when they

212
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: were supposed to, and that the whole church was leveled

213
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 3: due to the natural gas explosion. That everybody in town

214
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: heard every I mean, it was, it was, it was,

215
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: It was serious news at the time. It was just

216
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: it's a miraculous, miraculous case.

217
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just think that they must have been stunned

218
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: when they realized what had happened, and that all of

219
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: them had a different reason for not being there. It's

220
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: not really an inner voice that told them not to be.

221
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: There were a circumstance and.

222
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: All of us have experienced that kind of thing where

223
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: you know, let's say a car collision happens in front

224
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: of us or behind us, and you start thinking, Wow,

225
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: if I had not had that conversation, you know, longer

226
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: than what I wanted it to be before I got

227
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: into my car, I would have been right at that spote.

228
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: I would have been in the middle of that collision

229
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: or vice versa. You know, the could be light later

230
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: and we we have that happened, But to have it

231
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: happened to multiple people of one single incident, is it

232
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: just makes you like I said that those two words,

233
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: what if.

234
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: Well, maybe Reverend Walter Klymple was a slave driver, cracking

235
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: the whip, making his choir practice too much, and everybody

236
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: just got tired of it and didn't show up.

237
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding, right, could have been you know, you

238
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: don't know what the mechanism of this thing is.

239
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: You do get into the butterfly effect in the book,

240
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: and I think it's a good fit because you know,

241
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: as you're saying there, you know, a car accident, you

242
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: could have been in it if you hadn't left the

243
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: house one minute earlier or later. The butterfly effect can

244
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: have profound effects. Something very simple and tiny and little

245
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: has profound effects all over the world. I mean that's

246
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: not an exaggeration. It can be that way, right, Yeah.

247
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: And you know, with the popularity of The Twister, the

248
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: movie that just came out a couple of months ago,

249
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: and when people are looking, you don't know what effects

250
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: that came. They came out of a meteorologist, uh uh.

251
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: And Edward lorenz Uh coined that back in that team

252
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: the seventies, and you know, his whole thing was any

253
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: kind of disturbance in the air, sims ripples just like

254
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: a pebble in a pond. It is going to affect someplace.

255
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: We just don't know what the magnitude of that effect

256
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: is going to be.
