Speaker 1: back and did really great collab with the whole team.

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: You did characters, you wrote the thing. It's really cool,

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: creepy story, did a bunch of cynthy, weird sound design

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: and stuff. I really hope everyone digs it if they

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: haven't heard already. I don't want to say anything about this.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: I just want you to listen to it and away

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: we go from UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies.

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: History is riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know. Hello,

Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. My name is Matti, my

00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: name is Noel, they call me. Then we are joined

17
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: with our super producer Paul deck End to give it

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: up for him. And as always, the most important part

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: of the show is here. You are you, and that

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: makes this stuff they don't want you to know. It's

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: our very last episode of the year, and we can't

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: thank you enough, but I guess we're gonna We're gonna try,

23
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: because this is not the normal episode. Finally made it

24
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: through Y two K y'all seventeen times. I guess, Wow,

25
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: why two K or why not two K? Two K?

26
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Or not two K? That is the two quick two K.

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: So we you know that we hang out and when

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: we're not in the studio, we're actually friends. We do things,

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: we work on projects in secret in the dark. This

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: is not just a gig for us, no, not at all.

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: And this particular thing that you're about to listen to

32
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: is a piece that was written by our very own

33
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: mister Ben Bolin, and he presented it to us, and

34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: we essentially got every single human being that works in

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: our office and would give us the time of day

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: to come into the studio and record apart. And it

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: was super fun because we did like a table read

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: where we all like, literally we have a table at work.

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: We sat around said table and did the lines, ran lines.

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun and we did it

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: after hours. There was a little whiskey and pizza involved. Yeah,

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: and we generated this thing what we are about to

43
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: present to you. We did it for a local audio

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: radio play festival. I guess you could call it. It's

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: part of a It was our entry into something called

46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: the Fringe Festival. And the Fringe Festival is a theater

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: festival that takes place around the world. Was begun in Edinburgh,

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: but it has a sister festival in Atlanta. And we

49
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: wanted to make a radio play because we're fans of surprise, surprise,

50
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: creepy stuff. And we did this outside of work completely

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: as something called We called our outfit sorrow Bread and

52
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: I can't remember why we thought that was a good idea.

53
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: I think it's because it's the bread you use to

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: sop up your tears and then you get yeah, see,

55
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: we were in a dark place. It had to do

56
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: with a lyric from the it's from a song that

57
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: plays a role in the episode or in this story,

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: from an urban legend of summernown which some of you

59
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: may recognize. And we also had a lot of help

60
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: from our recurring stuff they don't want, you know, family

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: member Lauren vogelbaumb So you'll hear each of us and

62
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: a lot of your podcasters from other shows you enjoy,

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: hopefully enjoy popping in here and there. We do hope

64
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: you enjoy this foray into fiction or is it? And

65
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: we do have to note that as this was made

66
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: outside of work, there are a lot of beeps that

67
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: you're going to hear a lot of and a Jeff

68
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: and in this there are a lot of beeps, and

69
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: we we want to thank personally super producer Paul for

70
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: im it's very raw. Yeah, so we wanted to figure

71
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: out some way beyond the typical thank you that we

72
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: wanted that we usually try to do, some way to

73
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: thank you, specifically you for checking out our show and

74
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: sticking with us through this absolutely insane year. And we

75
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: also realized that, you know, we could have made a

76
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: whole fresh thing, but we worked really hard on this

77
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: and we never shared it with you guys, so we

78
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: figured why not, you know, and we keeps us from

79
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: staying up till five in the morning making another one

80
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: of these, and it gives you something that in your

81
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: feet that you haven't heard before. So it's a win win,

82
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: And let us know if you like it. We sure

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: I hope you do, because we have other stuff similar

84
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: to it already in the works. Yes, So what follows

102
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: witless News Jane. And that's a rap on the live feed.

Speaker 1: We are good to go to the prerecorded stuff. Good guys, Hey, Kate,

104
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: have you heard from Joe yet to He's supposed to

105
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: be here though. I called him, well, let's give him

106
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: a sack if that's okay with you. Oh, Sherry's probably

107
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: just running late or something. Traffic, right, what are you

108
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: guys covering today? Anyway? We're going to do music in

109
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: the mind, you know, like how it affects your mood,

110
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: minor keys. Music is torture. Torture, right, It's pretty common,

111
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: even a kind of psychological warfare, like picture the CIA

112
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: holding a prisoner in some unmarked black site, playing the

113
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: same song over and over again for hours or days,

114
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: occasionally stopping to ask a question, usually the same question

115
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: over and over. Paul was pretty into it before he

116
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: went on vacation or whatever. It's all he talked about

117
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: right before he left. You know how he gets right.

118
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: When's he supposed to be back anyway? I'm not sure

119
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: next week. He was a little bit vague. Surprise, Yeah,

120
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: weird guy. But so what kind of music are you

121
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: guys talking about anyway? Like opera or mariachi or pop?

122
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: I could see pop songs, something with like auto tune.

123
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised if they give every genre a shot.

124
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: The most common one, apparently, is the Barney theme song

125
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: like the Purple Dinosaur. I hate that guy. There's something

126
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: just sort of unsettling, kind of creepy about that whole show. Hey, guys, sorry,

127
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm late, dude, Shoe, Are you okay? I just sit down,

128
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: take a breath. I was in traffic. You know that

129
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: intersection by North and the Highland, the one that always

130
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: gets clogged up when people are trying to make a left. Yeah,

131
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there and stuck waiting on the light.

132
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: You know, it was busted. It was just blinking red

133
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: and people are honking their horns like crazy, but it's

134
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: bumper to bumper. Nothing's moving right. And then this guy

135
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: in the car in front of me, he gets out

136
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: and just he walks out and he leaves the door

137
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: open and in the car it's still running. And he

138
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: goes over to this car in front of him, and

139
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: he's moving slow, you know, like a zombie or something.

140
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: And he pulls out a gun. I know, dude, he

141
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: pulls out a gun and he shoots into the other

142
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: car like point blake, And he turned and looked at me,

143
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: like directly at me, and he holds the gun up

144
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: to the side of his head and blaw him and

145
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: he blew his brains out right there on the street

146
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: and saw it. I saw it. Jesus, What did he do?

147
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: I ran and drove off. I mean he didn't stay

148
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: for the cops. I don't know, Neil, I couldn't. It

149
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: wasn't I was afraid to stay there. Dude. I don't

150
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: mean to be a or anything, but you know you

151
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: have to call the cops. I mean you know this, right,

152
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: I can't Okay, yeah, I can't explain why. But this guy,

153
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: when he looked at me, he said something like something

154
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: about dreaming or I was only dreaming or vergay vilts something.

155
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: And does this make any sense? Do you? Guys? I

156
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: had this dream last night, and I keep having these

157
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: dreams over and over. Look, why don't we just record

158
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: this next segment tomorrow. You should go home, call the

159
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: police and let them know that you're a witness. Look, Kate,

160
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, I do, but right now, the only

161
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: thing that I want to do is record. There has

162
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: to be at least fifty other witnesses, fifty other people around.

163
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, they don't need me. Those same fifty witnesses

164
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: probably saw you drive away too. What You're right, someone

165
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: had to have seen you. No, it's just what you said.

166
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Just now, Neil. Can we just record the show? Guys,

167
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: I will call the police, I promise, Are you sure? Yeah? Yeah,

00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: let's let's do it please, all right, man, whatever you

00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: There's our blinking little light and we are rolling. Welcome

Speaker 1: back to Science on the Mind. I'm Kate, and today

172

Speaker 1: we've got a special guest for you, Joe Campbell, who

00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: You've probably heard Joe on a few of our other shows,

176
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: but here's something you might not know about him. In

177
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: addition to being great in front of and behind the mic,

178
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: Joe's also a musician, and that, Sir, makes you a

179
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: perfect host for today's episode. Today we're talking about music,

180
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: but not just any kind of music. We're talking about

181
00:11:42,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: music as a weapon. Oh good, Oh sorry, guys, I

182
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: have no idea what just happened there. I never heard

183
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: anything like that before. Can you talk into the mic

184
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: real quick? Yeah? Testing? Testing? Testing? Oh okay, Kate, now

185
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: you ah sure? Sound check? Sound check? Jeez, I have

186
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: no idea. This everything seems okay, Just to hold on

187
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: one second, Jesus, Ah, Welcome to the show, everybody. I'm

188
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Kate and this is Science on the Mind. Today we're

189
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: joined by a very special guest, Joe Campbell, who's filling

190
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: in for Paul. Hi. Everybody, thanks for coming. Oh listeners,

191
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: you've probably heard Joe on a few of our other shows,

192
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: but here's something you might not know about him. Joe's

193
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: also a musician, and that, Sir, makes you a perfect

194
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: host for today's episode. Today we're talking about music. But

195
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: this isn't some Pitchfork review, right right, No, we're talking

196
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: about a different kind of music, a use of music.

197
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: You could say. We're talking about music as science, applied science,

198
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: music as a tool, as a weapon, even exactly. Let's

199
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: start with a story, Joe, you recently sat down with

200
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: Professor Hans Weissbaum, a music historian, to look at the

201
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: role music plays not just in history, but in the

202
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: human mind. So, doctor Weisbaum, let's start at the beginning.

203
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: What do you wish more people knew about music? Ah?

204
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: Good question, on sank you How to start? Well, Human

205
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 1: beings have as vo multiple ways of encountering our reality.

206
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Because these medium's senses five, Right, we have five senses.

207
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: That's a common misconception. Research plus ZV at any rate

208
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: have more than five. There are five basic historical senses. Sight,

209
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: of course, is the most important for current civilization, on smell,

210
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: on taste, so to being extraordinarily intertwined on touch, which

211
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: can be passed into multitudinous sub senses. And most importantly,

212
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: we have our sound hearing. Yes, but didn't you say

213
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: that vision was the most important sense to our current society. Yes,

214
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: but remember civilization is not a constant thing. It is

215
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: a fragile light on Sometimes it goes out only for

216
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: a new society to arise in its place. Today, sight

217
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: is the most important sense, but for the majority of

218
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: human history, sound was our primary experience. It informed us

219
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: in vital ways. We cannot touch a thing and know

220
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: its history or future. We cannot taste a thing and

221
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: immediately know if it will nourish or negate us. Yes, yeah,

222
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: but so yes sound. Early human predators hunted at night,

223
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: and even now the average unaided human eye cannot see

224
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: in darkness. So we listened, we heard, and as we heard,

225
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: we survived. The first communication man made was the world

226
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: around him thus through sound. Music is a result of that.

227
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Music precedes art, music precedes language, and music at its

228
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: base is only an arrangement of sound in some curated order.

229
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: The oldest reserves of human knowledge were likely songs, So

230
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: in a vay you could say the study of music

231
00:15:45,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: is the oldest of human pursuits. Oh be a shuttle's sorry,

232
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: you guys know what's going on today? Look it's it's

233
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: already past five, and this isn't going live until next week.

234
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: And we can always roll live if we have to.

235
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: Why don't we just knock off early? Yeah, Joe, Uh yeah, sure,

236
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean I'm not gonna say no to

237
00:16:42,320 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: leaving early when I meet up at the spot. Sergeant

238
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: Clark denies any connection between the recent spate of murder suicides.

239
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: At this time, we have no indication that the events

240
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: you mentioned are related. We do, however, warnt everyone to

241
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: be vigilant and alert your local authorities that you see

242
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: an act of violence. We will follow up on these

243
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: separate investigations and issue updates as they are available. Thank

244
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: you for your time. No further questions spoken like a

245
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: true want to be mayor sounds like you weren't the

246
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: only one to see something strange. So wait, where is

247
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: Paul exactly? He's on vacation I think for two weeks.

248
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what does he just save up all year?

249
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: Does he never take any normal people vacation time? Nope?

250
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes Paul just disappears super professional. I'm sure there's a reason,

251
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: and I mean we do sort of pay him to

252
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: be a weird guy. You know, was it last time

253
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: Area fifty one, a competitive eating contest, an underground gun

254
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: show that turned him into an n aray not all

255
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: over again? I forget. Maybe he has family stuff. I mean,

256
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: he is a pretty private person, at least from what

257
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: I hear around the office. He's an apt is what

258
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: he is, and our bosses let him get away with it.

259
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: Who else could just off without telling anyone for weeks

260
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: at a time. Okay, Okay, he does this like maybe

261
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: once a year. Janis said he told her through a

262
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: text message the Sunday before right all class that one. Wait,

263
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: so he just ghosted you guys, didn't record ahead or

264
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: anything like that. We have a few episodes in the can,

265
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: but I mean, come on, we have to make a

266
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: weekly show. We can't just go into reruns. He knows that,

267
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: then where is he and why are you always on

268
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 1: his side? Look, it's just convenient that he doesn't have

269
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: a problem pulling a Houdini whenever he wants. You'll stroll

270
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: right back in, expecting to get all the credit for

271
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: shows he didn't even make. And you guys are gonna

272
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: let him. Oh, come on, Kate, happens you know that. Okay. Look,

273
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm not as close with him as you guys are,

274
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: but I remember him seeing something about the music episode.

275
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: He seemed to think he'd be back in time to

276
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: record it. I mean, that's why I was so surprised

277
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: when you ask me, Aboard, I do appreciate it, though, No,

278
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: of course we appreciate it. I'm sorry, man, it's just frustrating.

279
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like to take a vacation once in

280
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: a while too, and I'm sure Neil feels the same way.

281
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: But here we are with half a host and apparently

282
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: there's a suicide epidemic or whatever. Wait, yeah about that?

283
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Maybe you think they're bad at this point? Suicide Here

284
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: you go, guys, anything to eat? I'm good? But hey, Carlo,

285
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: what was that on the news? Probably the suicide epidemic,

286
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: that's what they're calling it. It's all over the radio.

287
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: Don't you guys listen to the news. We heard something,

288
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's like a across the city. People are

289
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: killing each other and themselves. You seriously haven't heard about this.

290
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: It's like close to eleven people or something. I gotta go, Hey,

291
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: hang on, man, wait a second, Hey, harn't me. I'm

292
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: on the way back. I hope you're doing okay. Today

293
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: was just look. I'll see you in a bit, ring

294
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: me if you want me to pick anything up on

295
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: the way home. Green light, gotta go, love you bye.

296
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: So why an't the police saying anything? Why isn't the news,

297
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: the lamestream news that is covering this. There's a blood

298
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: bath out there, people, And don't act for a second

299
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: like Uncle Sam doesn't know what's going on. But we've

300
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: seen the light, while some of us have, but we've

301
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: been expecting this, those of us with our eyes open,

302
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: that is, for a long long time. Now, let's go

303
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: to the phones, y'all. Don't go. Swoman means not all. Hey,

304
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: where is everybody? It's like a ghost town. Nobody's in

305
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: the office. And traffic was pretty late too. Yeah, did

306
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: you did you catch the news this morning? You know,

307
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: I hate listening to the news right before a show.

308
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: I haven't even turned on my computer. Why what's up?

309
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: Hang on? Hello? Hello, Hey, Hey, what's up? Man? Dude? Hello?

00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: in town. Sounded wasted and is Captain Mystery planning on

314
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: joining us at work today. He said he needs to

315
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: meet us outside of the office. Well, you guys have fun,

316
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: he asked for both of us. He said it was urgent.

317
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: Showing up for your job sounds pretty urgent to me.

318
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: He sounded pretty shaken up. He's our friend, he's your friend, Neil, Fine, fine, fine,

319
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: Then he's a guy who needs help. I get it. Okay,

320
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: I get it. Maybe he got fired or something. But

321
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: what would you want us to do if you needed help?

322
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: We're still waiting on Joe, even if apparently everyone else

323
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: took the day off. He said, Joe's not coming. How

324
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: the hell would he know? Just come with me, please?

325
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: Fine where While we cannot respond to any inquiries regarding

326
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: an ongoing investigation. We will provide updates as soon as possible.

327
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: At this point, we have issued a citywide warning and

328
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: allocated additional resources to local schools, government offices, and financial centers.

329
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: What about state level warning? How do you respond to

330
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: the news of governor's disappearance? Again? We are in the

331
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: process of several unrelated investigations, and we will provide updates

332
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: as they appear. At this time, we are asking citizens

333
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: to use extreme caution when out late or alone in

334
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: unfamiliar areas. If you see anything suspicious, please contact your

335
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: local police department immediately. This is the most crowded I've

336
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: ever seen this place. There he is the prodigal podcaster returns.

337
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: Good to see you, man, It's all a little worried. Hey,

338
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: what's up? Look like six pounds of a four pound

339
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: bay Neil case. Thanks for coming. I owe you both

340
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: an apology. That's all right? Sure do Hey, you guys

341
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: want anything now? Jamison on the rocks? Three? Jamison's Please?

342
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: Where's Carla? She hasn't been in today, sick or something.

343
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: I guess I'll be right back with those drinks, guys.

344
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: So what is it now? Paul planning to grace us

345
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: with your presence at the office one of these days.

346
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Apology not accepted, by the way. You guys, remember when

347
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: we first tried to start this show, it seemed like

348
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: a bad idea. There's so much noise out there. Who

349
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: the fucker we add to? But now here we are

350
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: millions of people tune in each week. And then it

351
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: seemed like such a good idea. We used to toast

352
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: to how lucky we were, how smart we were. But

353
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: we were wrong. Everyone was wrong. All right, are you okay? Man?

354
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, where the fuck have you been? Hungary? Who

355
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: the hell goes to Hungary? No one anymore? It'll be

356
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: just like that here. Soon. We have to get out

357
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: of here, out of the city. It's not going to

358
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: be safe here much longer. We have to get out

359
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: of here. God, you're so melodramatic, do you know that? No,

360
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. You disappeared Paul in April and everyone just pretended, Oh,

361
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: he's on vacation. Now you show up drunk and you

362
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: expect us to just leave the city. What does that

363
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: even mean? Are you crazy? Are you insane? Okay, you're right,

364
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: you're right. I am drunk. I had to go. Okay,

365
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: I had to see to see it for myself. Just

366
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: humor me, okay, please kneel, okay, okay. It was the music.

367
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: When we first started prepping for this piece on music

368
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: in the Mind, I dug through everything I could find, interviews,

369
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: archival recordings from the Congressional Library, declassified documents from interrogations

370
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: at black sites, you know, the usual stuff. So one

371
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: thing stayed with me, this legend, I guess you'd call it.

372
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: Back in the thirties, there was this guy, a composer

373
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: named Rezzo Series. He's kind of a two bit, you know,

374
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: just one of a hundred thousand other would be songwriters,

375
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: dreaming of being a European Stephen Foster or something. He

376
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: moved to Paris and his life spiraled down with his

377
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: parents died. He went bankrupt. But she said she went

378
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: to Hungary. Yes, listen, that's where he ended up. Then

379
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: his girlfriend fiance maybe she left. He tried to kill himself,

380
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: but instead he wrote a song and it was a success.

381
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: You've probably heard of it. Gloomy Sunday. Yeah, that Billie

382
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: Holiday song, right, Yeah, but that wasn't her. That was

383
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: a cover song Bingo. Yes, but the one we hear

384
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: the ones we've always heard. Those are all covers, but

385
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: the original record, the original pressing the Suicide started right

386
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: after its release. A man jumps from a fifth story

387
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: window in downtown Antwerp. A woman slits her child's wrists

388
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: in a Berlin bathtub. Then she slips into the water

389
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: and slices her own throat. More and more deaths. No motive,

390
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: no explanation, no commonality except for this one thing, this

391
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: song that makes people kill them. Sellars, yes, but the

392
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: record sells so fast that it just goes into repressing

393
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: almost immediately. The song's sad. Sure, blame the c minor key,

394
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: I guess. But most people, most people are fine. Most

395
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: are especially Resso. He's making money hand over fist, more

396
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: than he's ever made in his life, until the cops

397
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: ask him to visit the morgue. His ex had joined

398
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: the trend. She drank acid her suicide. Note two words

399
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: gloomy Sunday. All of a story, but it's true. I

400
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: went to hungry, all the way to that little town

401
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: where Rezzo ran. When his ex died, he withered away

402
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: in a piano bar, and he didn't listen to that

403
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: original pressing for years, but you did listen to him. Yes,

404
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty eight, he jumped from a window, but

405
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: he survived. Doesn't hungry already have a high suicide rate

406
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: In the hospital, he strangled himself with a wire same night.

407
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: Bullsh It's true. I found it. I found one of

408
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: the original pressings. Why are you still alive? Because I

409
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: haven't listened to it. There's a thumb drive copy in

410
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: my apartment, but the original record, it's someone took it.

411
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: So you traveled halfway across the planet to find some

412
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: first record and lost it on the way back. I

413
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: didn't say I lost it. I said someone took it.

414
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: That's what's going on. Someone else found the record and

415
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: they're putting it back on the air. People don't just

416
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: wake up one day and decide to kill their family.

417
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Joe Campbell didn't. Just didn't. What what are you even saying?

418
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: Joe's dead? Oh? Come on, you don't listen to the radio,

419
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: you either, Kate, We are making shows all day. Who

420
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: wants to listen to more of that? No one except

421
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: for Joe. When's the last time you saw him here?

422
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: Actually yesterday? And since then? I mean we texted him.

423
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't get it, but listen to yourself. Paul,

424
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. I know you've got a lot on

425
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: your plate, but you probably should have taken a real

426
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: vacation instead of Wait of what is that Carla? We

427
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: have to get out of here. Now, how are you

428
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: talking about? Now? Come on, here are the closest soundproof

429
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: place we can find. Get to the office. Do not

430
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: turn on the radio. Those people and Carla, what was

431
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: she saying? Was it the song? Yeah? Yes, I think so.

432
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: They were chanting like it was a cult or something. Yeah,

433
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: they must have it on the satellite radio. Now who

434
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: the hell are they? I don't know. Did you see

435
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: Neil got to his car? I think? But my phone

436
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: isn't working mine either. Oh, they're outside here. Take this

437
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: a gun. I'm going out there to block the main

438
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: door and look for Neil. Kate, don't let anyone in

439
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: unless you're certain it's one of us. Kate, Run, run, Joe.

440
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: What happened to your head? Joe? Joe? What are you? Joe?

441
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: Piece of you? Remains here to keep your right. I

442
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to hurt you. Stop stop,

443
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: I will shoot. Oh gut, it should be dead. Here

444
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: we are you know he was right, most grand out

445
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: there in the whole way, there really was a lesser,

446
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: But it didn't compose the song so much as and

447
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: inscribe it. It still so long since we used human tongues.

448
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: At each time the light figures another thousand languages take

449
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: its place. He wasn't arrected lesso, No, none of you are.

450
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: And what he did have unmacable language. And do you

451
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: know what he did? You do you know what he did?

452
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: Found us, your lesser, found the old works, the sigils.

453
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,920
