1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Hey, uh that Merry Christmas. This isn't how we start shows.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: It's not, it's not. But this is a special occasion

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: because this episode is coming out on Christmas Day, two

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. That's right, Merry Christmas to you, Ben as well.

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: I apologize for missing that when you introduced the show. Um,

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's morning hopefully where you are. Maybe maybe

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: there's a tree somewhere near you. Maybe not, maybe it's

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: got lights on it. That's a chair of at some

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: point for some reason. Okay, there we go. Oh, I

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: just got it. You're talking about Christmas trees. I was.

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's been a weird day, man. Yeah.

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Or maybe you're just outside and it's a lovely morning

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: and you were just talking about regular trees. I'm not

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: a I'm not a Christmas expert. Well they were regular

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: trees until you know, someone murdered them and then dressed

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: up their corpse. Right. Well, the weird thing is, you

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: know you put the tree in water so it's still

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: alive and so services will return the trees. Really, I

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: don't know. It just sounds like a nice thing to

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: tell people at Christmas to recycled Christmas tree farm, So

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,280

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: For for a while, Matt, you and I would work

Speaker 1: with our team to do radio shows fiction horror stories, right,

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,600

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit different. It features uh, it

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: features an Avengers level cavalcade of our peers and colleagues.

41

Speaker 1: can still grab a few more minutes of sleep. And

73
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: it looks like you gotta go, baby. Yeah, I love you.

74
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: I'll call you later. And that's the way it was

75
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: until it wasn't. Good night from the Witless News. And

76
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: that's a wrapper on the live feed. We are good

77
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: to go to the prerecorded stuff. Good guys, Hey, Kate,

78
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: have you heard from Joe yet. He's supposed to be

79
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: here though I called him. Let's give him a sack

80
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: if that's okay with you. Oh shere, he's probably just

81
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: running Later or something traffic, right, what are you guys

82
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 1: covering today? Anyway? We're going to do music in the mind,

83
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, like how it affects your mood, minor keys.

84
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Music is torture. Torture, right, It's pretty common, even a

85
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,559
Speaker 1: kind of psychological warfare like picture the cea A holding

86
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: a prisoner in some unmarked black site, playing the same

87
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: song over and over again for hours or days, occasionally

88
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: stopping to ask a question, usually the same question over

89
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: and over. Paul was pretty into it before he went

90
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: on vacation or whatever. It's all he talked about right

91
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: before he left. You know how he gets right. When's

92
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: he supposed to be back anyway? I'm not sure next week.

93
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: He was a little bit vague. Surprise, Yeah, weird guy.

94
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: But so what kind of music are you guys talking

95
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: about anyway? Like opera or mariotchi or pop? I could

96
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: see pop songs, something with like auto tune. Wouldn't be

97
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: surprised if they gave every genre shot. The most common one, apparently,

98
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: is the Barney theme song like the Purple Dinosaur. I

99
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: hate that guy. There's something just sort of unsettling, kind

100
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: of creepy about that whole show. Hey guys. Sorry, I'm late, dude, Okay,

101
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: I just sit down, take a breath. I was in traffic.

102
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, that intersection by North and the Highland, the

103
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: one that always gets clogged up when people are trying

104
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: to make a left. So I'm sitting there and stuck

105
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: waiting on the light. You know, it was busted. It

106
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: was just blinking red and people are honking their horns

107
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: like crazy, but it's bumper to bumper. Nothing's moving right.

108
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: And then this guy in the car in front of me,

109
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: he gets out and just he walks out and he

110
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: leaves the door open, and then the car's still running,

111
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: and he goes over to this car in front of him,

112
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: and he's he's moving slow, you know, like a zombie

113
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: or something. And he pulls out a gun. I know, dude,

114
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: he pulls out a gun and he shoots into the

115
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: other car like point blake. And he turned and looked

116
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: at me, like directly at me, and he holds the

117
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: gun up to the side of his head and blame

118
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: him and he blew his brains out right there on

119
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: the street. And saw it. I saw it, Jesus, What

120
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: did you do? I ran and drove off. I mean

121
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: he didn't stay for the cops. I don't know, Neil,

122
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't. It wasn't I was afraid to stay there. Dude.

123
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be a or anything, but you

124
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: know you have to call the cops. I mean, you

125
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: know this, right. I can't Okay, I can't explain why.

126
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: But this guy, when he looked at me, he said

127
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: something like something about dreaming or I was only dreaming

128
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: or vergay vilts something. And does this make any sense

129
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: to you? Guys? I had this dream last night, and

130
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: I keep having these dreams over and over. Look, why

131
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: don't we just record this next segment tomorrow? You should

132
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: go home, call the police and let them know that

133
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: you're a witness. Look, Kate, I I appreciate it, I do,

134
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: but right now, the only thing that I want to

135
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: do is record. There has to be at least fifty

136
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: other witnesses, fifty other people around. You know, they don't

137
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: need me. Those same fifty witnesses probably saw you drive

138
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: away too. What You're right, someone had to have seen you. No,

139
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: it's just what you said just now, you know, Like,

140
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: can we just record the show? Guys? I will call

Speaker 1: a perfect toast for today's episode. Today we're talking about music,

154
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: but not just any kind of music. We're talking about

155
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: music as a weapon. Oh good, Oh sorry, guys, I

156
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: have no idea what just happened. They're never heard anything

157
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: like that before. Can you talk into the mic? Real quick? Yeah? Testing? Testing, testing, okay, Kate,

158
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: now you shure sound check sound check? Jeez, I have

159
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: no idea the scene. Everything seems okay. Just to hold

160
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: on one second, jesus A. Welcome to the show, everybody.

161
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm Kate and this is Science on the Mind. Today

162
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: we're joined by a very special guest, Joe Campbell, who's

163
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: filling in for Paul. Hi. Everybody, thanks for coming listeners.

164
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: You've probably heard Joe on a few of our other shows,

165
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: but here's something you might not know about him. Joe's

166
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: also a musician, and that, Sir, makes you a perfect

167
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: host for today's episode. Today, we're talking about music. But

168
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: this isn't some Pitchfork review, right right, No, we're talking

169
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: about a different kind of music, a a use of music.

170
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: You could say, we're talking about music as science, applied science,

171
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: music as a tool, as a weapon, even exactly. Let's

172
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: start with a story, Joe, you recently sat down with

173
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: Professor Hans Weissbaum, a music historian, to look at the

174
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: raw music plays not just in history, but in the

175
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: human mind. So, Dr Bisbaum, let's start at the beginning.

176
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: What do you wish more people knew about music? Good question,

177
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: on sank you Ah, how to start? Well, human beings have,

178
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: as we know, multiple ways of encountering our reality because

179
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: these mediums senses five, right, we have five senses. That's

180
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: a common misconception. Research prows that v at any rate

181
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: have more than five. There are five basic historical senses. Site,

182
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: of course, is the most important for current civilization, on smell,

183
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: on taste, so to being extraordinarily intertwined on touch, which

184
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: can be passed into multitudinous substances, and most importantly, we

185
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: have sound here. Yes, but didn't you say that vision

186
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: was the most important sense to our current society. Yes,

187
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: but remember civilization is not a constant thing. It is

188
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: a fragile light on. Sometimes it goes out only for

189
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: a new society to arise in its place. Today, sight

190
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: is the most important sense, but for the majority of

191
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: human history, sound was our primary experience. It informed us

192
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: in vital ways. We cannot touch a thing and know

193
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: its history or future. We cannot taste a thing and

194
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: immediately know if it will ah, nourish or negate us. Yes, yes,

195
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: but sound, yes, sound. Early human predators hunted at night,

196
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: and even now the average unaided human eye cannot see

197
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: in darkness. So we listened, we heard, and as we heard,

198
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: we survived. Ziffer communication man made vic world around him

199
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: us through sound. Music is a result of that. Music

200
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: precedes art, music precedes language, and music at its base

201
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: is only an arrangement of sound in some curated order,

202
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: the oldest reserves of human knowledge were likely songs, So

203
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: in a vey, you could say the study of music

204
00:14:26,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: is the oldest of human pursuits. Again, make a I'm sorry,

205
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: you guys know what's going on today? Look it's it's

206
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: already past five, and this isn't going live until next week.

207
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: And we can always roll live if we have to.

208
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Why don't we just knock off early? Joe? Uh, yeah, sure,

209
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean I'm not going to say no

210
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: to leaving early when I meet up at the spot.

211
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: M Sergeant Clark denies any connection between the recent spade

212
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: of murder suicides. At this time, we have no indication

213
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: that the events you mentioned are related. We do, however,

214
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: warrant everyone to be vigilant and a learn your local

215
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: authorities if you see an act of violence. We will

216
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: follow up on these separate investigations and issue updates as

217
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: they are available. Thank you for your time. No further

218
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: questions spoken like a true want to be mayor. Sounds

219
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: like you weren't the only one to see something strange.

220
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: So wait, where is Paul exactly? He's on vacation, we

221
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: think for two weeks. I mean, what does he just

222
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: save up all year? Does he never take any normal

223
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: people vacation time? Nope? Sometimes Paul just disappears super professional.

224
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a reason, and I mean we we

225
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: do sort of pay him to be a weird guy,

226
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, Uh huh? What was it last time? Are

227
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: competitive eating contest and underground gun show that turned him

228
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: into an n are not all over again? I forget.

229
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he has family stuff. I mean, he is a

230
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: pretty private person, at least from what I hear around

231
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: the office. He's an act, is what he is, and

232
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: our bosses let him get away with it. Who else

233
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: could just off without telling anyone for weeks at a time? Okay, Okay,

234
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: he does this like maybe once a year. Janni said

235
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: he told her through a text message the Sunday before

236
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: right all class that one. Wait, so he just ghosted

237
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: you guys didn't record a head or anything like that.

238
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: We have a few episodes in the can, but I mean,

239
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: come on, we have to make a weekly show. We

240
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: can't just go into reruns. He knows that, then where

241
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: is he and why are you always on his side? Look,

242
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: it's just convenient that he doesn't have a problem pulling

243
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: a Houdini whenever he wants, and he'll stroll right back in,

244
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: expecting to get all the credit for shows he didn't

245
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: even make. And you guys are gonna let him. Oh

246
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: come on, cag happens. You know that. Okay, Look, I'm

247
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: not as close with him as you guys are, but

248
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I remember him saying something about the music episode he's

249
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: seen to think he'd be back in time to record it.

250
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I was so surprised when you

251
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: asked me aboard. I do appreciate it, though, No, of

252
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: course we appreciate it. I'm sorry, man, it's just frustrating.

253
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like to take a vacation once in

254
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: a while too, and I'm sure Neil feels the same way.

255
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: But here we are with half a host and apparently

256
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: there's a suicide epidemic or whatever. Wait, yeah, about that.

257
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Maybe you think they're bad at this point? Suicide There

00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: that's what they're calling it. It's all over the radio,

00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: but Yeah, it's like across the city people are killing

263
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: each other and themselves. You seriously haven't heard about this.

264
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: It's like close to eleven people or something. I gotta go. Hey,

270
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: So why aren't the police saying anything? Why isn't the news,

271
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: the lamestream news that is covering this. There's a blood

272
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: bath out there, people, and don't act for a second

273
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: like Uncle Sam doesn't know what's going on. But we've

274
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: seen the light, while some of us have, but we've

275
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: been expecting this, those of us with our eyes open,

276
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: that is, for a long long time. Now, let's go

277
00:19:48,440 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: to the phones. Hey, where is everybody? It's like a

278
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,359

Speaker 1: meet us outside of the office. Well, you guys have fun,

289
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: he asked for both of us. He said it was urgent.

290
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: Showing up for your job sounds pretty urgent to me.

291
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: He sounded pretty shaken up. He's our friend, he's your friend. Fine, fine, fine,

00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: what would you want us to do if you needed help.

295
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,560

Speaker 1: an ongoing investigation, we will provide updates as soon as possible.

300
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: At this point, we have issued a citywide warning and

301
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: allocated additional resources to local schools, government offices, and financial centers.

302
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: What about state level warners? How do you respond to

303
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: the news of governor's disappearance? Again, we are in the

304
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: process of several unrelated investigations, and we will provide updates

305
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: as they appear. At this time, we're asking sit as

306
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: sense to use extreme caution when out light or alone

307
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: in unfamiliar areas. If you see anything suspicious, please contact

308
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: your local police department immediately. The most crowd had I've

309
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: ever seen this place? There he is, the prodigal podcaster returns.

310
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: Good to see you, man, It's all a little worried.

311
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: We Hey, what's up? Look like six pounds of the

312
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: four pound bay Neil Kate? Thanks for coming. I owe

Speaker 1: you guys want anything? Jamison on the rocks three? Jamison's please?

315
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: Where's Carla? She hasn't been in today? Sicker something? I

316
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: guess I'll be right back with those drinks, guys. So

317
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: what is it now, Paul planning to grace us with

318
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: your presence at the off this one of these days?

319
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: Apology not accepted by the way, you guys, remember when

320
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: we first tried to start this show. It seems like

321
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: a bad idea. There's so much noise out there, who

322
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: the fucker we to add to it? But now here

323
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: we are, millions of people tune in each week. And

324
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: then it seemed like such a good idea. We used

325
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: to toast to how lucky we were, how smart we were.

326
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: But we were wrong. Everyone was wrong. All right, are

327
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: you okay? Man? I mean, where have you been Hungary?

328
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Who the hell goes to Hungary? No one anymore? It'll

329
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: be just like that here. Soon we have to get

330
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: out of here, out of the city. It's not going

331
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: to be safe here much longer. We have to get

332
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: out of here. God, you're so melodramatic, do you know that? Okay, No,

333
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. You disappeared Paul in April and everyone just pretended, Oh,

334
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: he's on vacation. Now you show up drunk and you

335
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: expect us to just leave the city. What does that

336
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: even mean? Are you crazy? Are you insane? Okay, you're right,

337
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: you're right. I am drunk. I had to go, Okay,

338
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: I had to see to see it for myself. Just

339
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: humor me, okay, please kneel, okay, okay. It was the

340
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: music when we first started prepping for this piece on

341
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: music in the Mind. I dug through everything I could find, interviews,

342
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: archival recordings from the Congressional Library, declassified documents from interrogations

343
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: at black sites, you know, the usual stuff. So one

344
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: thing stayed with me, this legend, I guess you'd call it.

345
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: Back in the thirties, there was this guy, a composer

346
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: named Rezzo Series. He's kind of a two bit, you know,

347
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: just one of a thousand other would be songwriters, dreaming

348
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: of being a European Stephen Foster or something. He moved

349
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: to Paris and his life spiraled down with his parents died.

350
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: He went bankrupt, But she said, you went to Hungary. Yes, listen,

351
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: that's where he ended up. Then his girlfriend fiance maybe

352
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: she left. He tried to kill himself, but instead he

353
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: wrote a song and it was a success. You've probably

354
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: heard of it. Gloomy Sunday. Uh. Yeah, that that Billie

355
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: Holiday song? Right? Yeah, but that wasn't herd That was

356
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: a cover song, bingo, Yes, but the one we hear,

357
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: the ones we've always heard, those are all covers, but

358
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: the original recording, the the original pressing the suicide started

359
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: right after its release. A man jumps from a fifth

360
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: story window in downtown Antwerp. A woman slits her child's

361
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: wrists in a Berlin bathtub. Then she slips into the

362
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: water her and slices her own throat. More and more deaths,

363
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: No motive, no explanation, no commonality, except for this one thing,

364
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: this song. Song that makes people kill themselves. Yes, but

365
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the record sells so fast that it just goes into

366
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: repressing almost immediately. The song's sad. Sure, blame the c

367
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: minor key, I guess. But most people, most people are fine,

368
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: Most are especially Resso. He's making money hand over fist,

369
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: more than he's ever made in his life. Until the

370
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: cops asked him to visit the morgue. His ex had

371
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: joined the trend. She drank acid her suicide note two words,

372
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: gloomy Sunday. All of a story, but it's true. I

373
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: went to Hungary, all the way to that dip little

374
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: town where Rezzo ran. When his died, he withered away

375
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: in a piano bar. And he didn't listen to that

376
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: original pressing for years. But you did listen to it. Yes,

377
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen he jumped from a window, but he survived.

378
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't Hungry already have high suicide rate in the hospital.

379
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: He strangled himself with a wire same night. It's true,

380
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: I found it. I found one of the original pressings.

381
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Then why are you still alive? Because I haven't listened

382
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: to it. There's a thumb drive copy in my apartment,

383
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: but the original record, it's someone took it. So you

384
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: traveled halfway across the planet to find some first record

385
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: and lost it on the way back. I didn't say

386
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I lost it. I said someone took it. That's what's

387
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: going on. Someone else found the record and they're putting

388
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: it back on the air. People don't just wake up

389
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: one day and decide to kill their family. Joe Campbell didn't,

390
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: just didn't. What what are you even saying? Joe's dead? Oh?

391
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: Come on, you don't listen to the radio, you either, Kate,

392
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: We are making shows all day. Who wants to listen

393
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: to more of that? No one except for Joe. When's

394
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: the last time you saw him here? Actually yesterday? And

395
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: since then? Um, I mean we texted him. Maybe you

396
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: didn't get it, but listen to yourself, Paul, this is ridiculous.

397
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot on your plate, but

398
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: you probably should have taken a real vacation instead of

399
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: of what okay? Is that Carla? We have to get

400
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: out of here. Now, how are you talking about? Now?

401
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: Come on, how are we the closest soundproof place we

402
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: can find? Get to the office. Do not turn on

403
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: the radio. Those people in Carla, What was she saying?

404
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: Was it the song? Yeah? Yes, I think so. They

405
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: were chanting like it was a cult or something. Yeah,

406
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: they must have it on the satellite radio. Now who

407
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: the hell are they? I don't know. Did you see

408
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: Neil got to his car? I think? But my phone

409
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: isn't working mine either. Oh, they're outside here. Take this gun.

410
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm going out there to block the main door and

411
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: look for Neil. Kate, don't let any one in unless

412
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: you're certain it's one of us. Kate, Run, run, Joe.

413
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: What happened to your head? Joe? Joe? What are you?

414
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Joe has gone? All the piece of him remains in year,

415
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: just enough to keep the lights on. You could say,

416
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to hurt you.

417
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Stop stop, I will shoot. Oh gut, it should be dead.

418
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: There we are. You know he was right almost your

419
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: friend down there in the way. There really was a lesson,

420
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: but he didn't lose the song so much as inscribe it.

421
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: It's been so long since we used human tongues, and

422
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: time the like figgers, another thousand languages take its place.

423
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: He wasn't talented as all, no, none of you are,

424
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: But he did have an ackable language. And do you

425
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: know what he did? You do you know what he did?

426
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: He found us your assel round the old works, the sigils.

427
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: He called to us out there in the dark. And

428
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: when one of you hails us, a light gleams across

429
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: the chasms of the abyss, a gateway. And all he wanted,

430
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: all he wanted was fain. Can you imagine? Can you

431
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: He thought his death would end it. But the dark

432
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: is long and deep and endless, and we are are patient.

433
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: What are you where our legion? Beyond the emptiness behind

434
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: the stars, We are the dark, and we hunger. Nil

00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: nil Nil is gone. You killed him, kill kill. You

436
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: do not know death. You will never know death now,

437
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: But you are industrious. Now A single spell can touch

438
