Speaker 1: From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is
Speaker 1: riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or
Speaker 1: learn the stuff they don't want you to know. A
Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Max,
Speaker 2: my name is Noah.
Speaker 3: They call me Ben. We're joined as always with our
Speaker 3: super producer Dylan the Tennessee pal Fagan. Most importantly, you
Speaker 3: are here. That makes this the stuff they don't want
Speaker 3: you to know. If you are listening to our weekly
Speaker 3: listener mail segment the evening it publishes, let us be
Speaker 3: the first to welcome you to Thursday, May first, twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. And what better way to welcome us all
Speaker 3: to May than to talk a little bit about rootabagas.
Speaker 4: Why not? Yes, my best one, unbelievable.
Speaker 5: I was swaying hypnotically in my sees.
Speaker 4: I am pumped you guys.
Speaker 3: Sound c you for like applause for Dylan, whether you're
Speaker 3: writing in your car or whether you're working on some
Speaker 3: stuff wherever you find yourself in the wide world. Let
Speaker 3: us please note that is a pretty fire, pretty hot
Speaker 3: fire Dylan's. And also we owe a great deal of
Speaker 3: thanks to our super producer when we pitched him that
Speaker 3: idea of Mortal Kombat. Ruda Bega response, Yeah, I remember
Speaker 3: that earlier this morning.
Speaker 5: Okay, oh okay, I wasn't there. Well well done, Dylan, and.
Speaker 3: We are also grateful for some folks we're gonna hear
Speaker 3: from today. We're gonna you know, this is the point
Speaker 3: where we take a little bit of space amid this
Speaker 3: chaotic universe and check in with you the most important
Speaker 3: part of the show. So, friends and neighbors, fellow conspiracy realist,
Speaker 3: We're going to talk a little bit about El Salvador.
Speaker 3: We're going to examine allegations of weather manipulation. But before
Speaker 3: we do any of that, I think we have to
Speaker 3: bone up on our Australian cinema.
Speaker 4: Bone up a team naming. Let's do it. Let's first
Speaker 4: take a quick word and we have returned.
Speaker 5: And I believe we all collectively posed the question to
Speaker 5: our lovely Australian listeners of what are some uh classics
Speaker 5: of Australian cinema that we should check out? Guys, I'm
Speaker 5: totally space cadeting on how that came up?
Speaker 4: What were we talking about?
Speaker 5: It was an Australian gentleman that like disappeared and he
Speaker 5: was like a financier or something.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. What was the deal?
Speaker 3: His name is Harold Hole. There's a memorial. Uh, there
Speaker 3: are several memorials named after the man Prime Minister of
Speaker 3: Australia disappeared in the water. As some of our aussy
Speaker 3: listeners pointed out, it's kind of weird that there are
Speaker 3: swimming pools named after him.
Speaker 4: But what was What was his deal with the film
Speaker 4: industry before? Was he like involved in it?
Speaker 2: Oh, his dad was involved with some stuff in the
Speaker 2: entertainment industry and then he ended up getting into some
Speaker 2: of it too before he became Prime minister.
Speaker 5: Gotten well, do check out that episode, though it seems
Speaker 5: to have escaped me a we do so many of
Speaker 5: these guys.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5: But what the takeaway for me was is that we
Speaker 5: don't know enough about Australian film and cinema. And I
Speaker 5: even like in the moment, had a hard time producing
Speaker 5: more than like three titles, and then after the fact
Speaker 5: kind of remembered a few that I do know and love,
Speaker 5: and we'll talk about those. But most importantly, we're going
Speaker 5: to hear from Cake, a lovely Australian listener who writes
Speaker 5: in Greetings Matt Ben and Nol Peter Weir is the
Speaker 5: Australian version nineteen seventies eighties Francis Ford Coppola. His films
Speaker 5: include The Last Wave, Gallipoli, The Year of Living Dangerously,
Speaker 5: and Picnic at Hanging Rock, among others. Other notable AUSSI
Speaker 5: directors include George Miller of course we know George's work
Speaker 5: and the Matt Max films, as well as Crazily Babe,
Speaker 5: the Babe franchise and Happy feat The.
Speaker 4: Guy's a real renaissance man.
Speaker 3: He's all over the Bagger. I like to think they
Speaker 3: all happen in the same unit. It's a lovely thought,
Speaker 3: yeah for sure, among others. And Kate goes on Jillian Armstrong,
Speaker 3: My brilliant career and The Handmaid's Tale. Yeah, and that
Speaker 3: would be the nineteen ninety film version of The Handmaid's Tale,
Speaker 3: well before the very popular TV series.
Speaker 4: By the way, have you read Slash? Do you know?
Speaker 4: A nonfiction book called A Woman?
Speaker 3: I Know?
Speaker 5: It's written by Mary Haverstick and tells the story of
Speaker 5: Cold War era female aviation pioneer Jerry Cobb, who was
Speaker 5: or not also a CIA operative in Cuba in the
Speaker 5: early nineteen sixties and who may or may not have
Speaker 5: been in Dallas the day President Kennedy was assassinated. Jerry's
Speaker 5: identities and her real and assumed names are mind bending.
Speaker 5: This book is a wild ride, Ben Matt, I posit
Speaker 5: we do an episode on this. I don't know this
Speaker 5: story and I certainly don't think we have delved into
Speaker 5: it in the past.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know this at all, just looking at
Speaker 2: the book for the first time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know Mary Haverstick from a can of paint.
Speaker 3: So this is going to be a fascinating thing to
Speaker 3: learn more about. We love a good book recommendation A
Speaker 3: woman I know his new to us cake. Thank you
Speaker 3: so much. Also thanks to everyone who has taken some
Speaker 3: time to teach us about Australia. As you guys know,
Speaker 3: I have over the monitor here, I have a map
Speaker 3: of Australia and I've started putting little pins in the map.
Speaker 5: So thank you keg for the recommendation of the book
Speaker 5: and a future episode topic. And also for those films
Speaker 5: I'm familiar with, Picnic at Hanging Rock, which the Guardian
Speaker 5: calls a dazzling fever dream that is still relevant fifty
Speaker 5: years on. Peter Ware's nineteen seventy five parable of Imperial
Speaker 5: Anxiety and Sexual Hysteria was recently re released for its
Speaker 5: fiftieth anniversary and is considered a classic of Australian new
Speaker 5: wave cinema. So I definitely want to dig into that.
Speaker 5: One that I wanted to mention that I think I've
Speaker 5: mentioned to you guys off air after the fact was
Speaker 5: the film Animal Kingdom, which is a believe a true
Speaker 5: of a notable Australian crime family starring Jackie Weaver.
Speaker 4: I want to say it got some also Joel.
Speaker 5: Edgerton, isn't it but it is an Australian film.
Speaker 4: That it's called.
Speaker 5: It considered a gritty Australian crime film in which young
Speaker 5: Joshua J. Cody is taken in by his extended family
Speaker 5: after his mother dies of an overdose. The branch of
Speaker 5: the Cody clan, overseen by Jay's scheming grandmother Janine played
Speaker 5: by Jackie Weaver, who's excellent and I believe either got
Speaker 5: nominated or won an Oscar for this role, is heavily
Speaker 5: involved in various criminal activities and they quickly indoctrinate the
Speaker 5: boy into their way of life. However, Jay is given
Speaker 5: an opportunity to take a different route when a.
Speaker 2: Cop is too much information.
Speaker 5: Guy Peerce is in a cop named Lecky, seeks to
Speaker 5: help him leave the family behind. So highly recommend that
Speaker 5: one and another one called The Proposition. There is another
Speaker 5: Australian filmmaker who I realized I do know and enjoy,
Speaker 5: John Hillicote, who has done a lot of kind of
Speaker 5: Australian westerns, Lawless The Proposition, which I think is great.
Speaker 5: He's apparently been in the works on a film adaptation
Speaker 5: of Blood Meridian by Cormick McCarthy for a long time,
Speaker 5: which is always I think, Ben, you've described it as
Speaker 5: one of those novels that's sort of considered unfilmable, you know,
Speaker 5: because there's so much eternal monologue and the writing is
Speaker 5: such a part of it, Like it's got this weird
Speaker 5: kind of biblical language and very unusual structure to it.
Speaker 5: One of your favorite villains I think in literature been
Speaker 5: the Judge.
Speaker 4: Isn't that right? Absolutely or what's his name judge something old?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, apparently a real piece of work, an absolute
Speaker 5: sadist and psychopathic character. Obviously, McCarthy is known for a
Speaker 5: lot of things, but I think most popularly not punctuation.
Speaker 3: Ever, he writes in this flowy, stream.
Speaker 4: Of consciousness way.
Speaker 5: He did, of course No Country for Old Men, which
Speaker 5: is one of my favorite films of all time with
Speaker 5: the Coen Brothers and The Road, which is also directed
Speaker 5: by John Hillicote. The proposition is also scored by Nick Cave,
Speaker 5: who is a famous Australian artist, along with his partner
Speaker 5: Warren Ellis. Not to be confused with the comic book
Speaker 5: writer Warren Ellis, who I believe is known for trans Metropolitan,
Speaker 5: But Warren Ellis the musician, is also in a band
Speaker 5: called the Dirty Six or the Dirty three one of
Speaker 5: those numbers, and is an excellent composer who works alongside
Speaker 5: Nick Cave all the time. So the score is worth
Speaker 5: the price of admission alone on that. But it's also
Speaker 5: a super cool, gritty western that takes place in the outback,
Speaker 5: and there's this period period piece about that era, something
Speaker 5: they don't not always think about.
Speaker 4: But there is a wild West in Australia as well.
Speaker 5: Are a wild West type scenario real quickly, just want
Speaker 5: to rattle off. I found a list of the top
Speaker 5: one hundred greatest films of Australia cinema on AMTB.
Speaker 4: There's a couple that I recognize, like.
Speaker 5: Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Let's see Babe of
Speaker 5: course and Matt Max etc. But there's I mean, there
Speaker 5: are tons, of course there are what is number exactly
Speaker 5: ninety eight, Thank you Ben. I don't know that they're
Speaker 5: ranked by best. I think that maybe are Let's see
Speaker 5: ninety eight is Wolf Creek, which I've heard of. It
Speaker 5: is a hellish Australian outback kind of like the Hills
Speaker 5: Have Eyes type situation where apparently some backpackers who are
Speaker 5: stranded and the Australian outback are stalked and tortured psychologically,
Speaker 5: and I believe there's some torture porny type stuff in
Speaker 5: it too by.
Speaker 4: A sadistic psychopathic local.
Speaker 5: Also, The Year of Living Dangerously is a by Peter
Speaker 5: Ware that was mentioned by Cake, starring Mel Gibson and
Speaker 5: Sigourney Weaver. A young Australian reporter tries to navigate the
Speaker 5: political turmoil of Indonesia during the rule of President Sakarno
Speaker 5: with the help of a diminutive photographer.
Speaker 4: I love you guys.
Speaker 5: Throw out another number let's throw out a few more
Speaker 5: numbers and then we'll make this play short love it fifteen.
Speaker 4: Number fifteen is.
Speaker 5: See the Boys nineteen ninety eight, Yeah, by Rowan Woods,
Speaker 5: the director, starring David Wenhem Tony Collette, who is Australian.
Speaker 5: I always forget Tony Collette of many things fame, but
Speaker 5: specifically I think we all love her in Hereditary as
Speaker 5: well as Lynette Current I'm not familiar. After serving time
Speaker 5: for assault violent parole, Brett Sprague returns to his family home.
Speaker 5: As tensions rise between Brett and his brother Stevie and Glenn.
Speaker 5: Over twenty four hours, dark events begin to unfold The
Speaker 5: Boys from nineteen ninety eight Rated R and then the
Speaker 5: last but not least, I wanted to mention number sixty nine.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's do it. Thanks Maddie, good call. You had
Speaker 4: to do it.
Speaker 3: We had one always has nice. That's the end of
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: The number sixty eight, Oh, Matt crazy. You know what
Speaker 5: number sixty nine is. It's Picnic at Hanging Rock, the one,
Speaker 5: the one of the ones that our listener wrote in
Speaker 5: that about and that I was just looking up. It's
Speaker 5: the one that's considered dazzling and relevant fifty years on
Speaker 5: Picnic at Hanging Rock, directed by Peter Weir.
Speaker 4: That's so cool, Matt, Wow.
Speaker 5: Right before that is a popular one that I also
Speaker 5: it's New Zealand.
Speaker 4: It is kind of considered.
Speaker 5: I don't know, that might be very controversial to Australians.
Speaker 5: But it's the Piano by Jane Campion, who is a
Speaker 5: New Zealand filmmaker. I know that's not an Australian filmmaker,
Speaker 5: but it is on this list on IMDb, so I
Speaker 5: don't know, take it up with IMDb. But the last thing,
Speaker 5: there's a TV series that I really love that I
Speaker 5: want to say. We've talked about that. Maybe one of
Speaker 5: you two have seen, is called Myster in Between. It
Speaker 5: is an Australian crime series about a dude who is
Speaker 5: a hit man for like an organized crime entity in Australia.
Speaker 5: But it's also just like a dad and just doing
Speaker 5: regular stuff, you know. And it's said it's very like
Speaker 5: the Sopranos in that respect. It very much shows like
Speaker 5: the human aspect of someone who is ultimately a pretty
Speaker 5: tough customer.
Speaker 4: You what are you gasping about, Matt?
Speaker 2: I've seen clip a clip maybe or clips of this.
Speaker 3: You love it.
Speaker 4: It's breaking bad level good. I really think it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: I believe it's the actor Scott who plays maybe the
Speaker 2: main person show. Well I've seen. I just clicked on
Speaker 2: the IMDb page and saw his face and he's holding
Speaker 2: an ice cream YEP with I guess his daughter and
Speaker 2: a young girl. And I just remember that scene when
Speaker 2: he confronts the dudes were not very nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5: He definitely kicks some mass and takes some names, but
Speaker 5: it's a very human story. He has a father who
Speaker 5: is I believe going through dementia the early stages of
Speaker 5: dementia or no, maybe that's not true.
Speaker 3: You know what it is.
Speaker 4: That's not what it is. Excuse me, no, that is
Speaker 4: part of it.
Speaker 5: But he also has a brother who has I believe,
Speaker 5: cerebral palsy, and the actor who plays his brother actually
Speaker 5: has cerebral palsy. And it's an incredible performance that as
Speaker 5: individual who is cast appropriately, I would say in a
Speaker 5: time where you know, I mean, it's controversial I think
Speaker 5: sometimes to talk about how only individuals with certain conditions
Speaker 5: or you know, who present certain ways should be cast,
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily come down on one side or other
Speaker 5: of that, but I do think it's really interesting to
Speaker 5: see someone who actually has that condition portraying character who
Speaker 5: has that condition.
Speaker 3: And we've also just ordered a copy of a woman
Speaker 3: I know female Spies double Identities, and a news story
Speaker 3: of the Kennedy assassination.
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing. Thank you for doing that, Ben. I just
Speaker 2: found a connection here that I did not know existing,
Speaker 2: and maybe you didn't know either. There is a two
Speaker 2: thousand and five film starring Scott Ryan, the guy who
Speaker 2: plays Ray in Between Ray yep, it is called The Magician,
Speaker 2: and he plays a character named Ray Shuesmith, who is
Speaker 2: a volatile, caring and ruthless hit man.
Speaker 5: So Ray, No that is based that's the same name.
Speaker 5: It's the same character, Ray Shu Smith, who is in
Speaker 5: the Mystery Between. The Magician was a precursor to that series.
Speaker 2: Okay, I remember there's a universe here, guys.
Speaker 3: It's a love world building.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: If you want to learn about Mad Max, you got
Speaker 3: to start with Babe.
Speaker 2: The movie Babe exactly.
Speaker 5: And lastly, I just wanted to mention one more that
Speaker 5: I had on my list that I have seen. It's
Speaker 5: been a long time very difficult film to watch. Based
Speaker 5: on a true story. It's called The Snowtown Murders, and
Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken, we have talked about the true
Speaker 5: crime story. This film is based on sixteen year old
Speaker 5: Jamie falls in with his mother's new boyfriend and his
Speaker 5: crowd of self appointed neighborhood watchman, a relationship that leads
Speaker 5: to a spree of torture and murder. It's literally, I think,
Speaker 5: the most famous serial killer story out of Australia, and
Speaker 5: I think the movie is quite quite well done, but
Speaker 5: it is a challenging watch, so.
Speaker 4: Huge thanks to Cake.
Speaker 5: We're going to take a quick break, hear a word
Speaker 5: from our sponsor, and then we back with some more
Speaker 5: messages from you.
Speaker 2: And we've returned. Guys. Yes, we are taking a little
Speaker 2: trip to a cool part of the United States that
Speaker 2: I've never been to, but I look forward to going
Speaker 2: one day. I wonder if you guys have been around here.
Speaker 2: Have you guys ever been to like Shreveport or.
Speaker 4: I was just talking about that with somebody there.
Speaker 5: I've only been to New Orleans and Louisiana, but I
Speaker 5: know some people from Shreveport.
Speaker 3: Actually, I I uh, something like me has been there,
Speaker 3: but it goes by Peter the Roman.
Speaker 2: Okay, Peter the Roman.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Nice is Peter here with us?
Speaker 3: Now? So looms large at what level of you know,
Speaker 3: it's like hiking easter eggs? Like how how far in
Speaker 3: the grass do you put them?
Speaker 2: Peter the Golden egg?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, you know? Or is he like number one thirteen? Anyway, nice,
Speaker 3: always have to say nice. So Shreveport is in Peter
Speaker 3: the Romans experience, uh, a beautiful but imperfect place. And
Speaker 3: there's a lot of interesting government activity.
Speaker 2: Ooh yeah. So let's get to that. This area of
Speaker 2: the United States is also known as Arcla Tech. You
Speaker 2: may know a town that's right. I guess it's just
Speaker 2: to the west of this area called Texarcana, which is
Speaker 2: really cool. And why would it be named that, Well,
Speaker 2: it's because it's kind of the border between Texas, Arkansas,
Speaker 2: and Louisiana all there together in one little corner. I
Speaker 2: guess it's the northwest corner of Louisiana, is the way
Speaker 2: you'd say. It just to the west Texas, just in
Speaker 2: the north Arkansas. And there's this thing called the Red
Speaker 2: River that runs between Shreveport and Bowser City, which is
Speaker 2: just on the east Shreveport there on the west. And
Speaker 2: there's this other place, guys, when we're talking about government
Speaker 2: activity in the area called Barksdale Air Force Base used
Speaker 2: to be known as Barksdale Field. That's before the Air
Speaker 2: Force became a thing. And guys, it's twenty two thousand
Speaker 2: acres of land. Twenty two thousand.
Speaker 3: Acres or is it like for sale.
Speaker 2: Or no, not at all.
Speaker 3: Hang on, I'll pull it up zillow.
Speaker 2: Okay. So the reason why it's not for sale is
Speaker 2: because Barksdale Air Force Base is extremely important to the
Speaker 2: United States as kind of a thing. It's I'm going
Speaker 2: to read from their website. It's an award winning base
Speaker 2: that's home to warrior airmen of the second Bomb Wing,
Speaker 2: air Force Global Strike Command, eighth Air Force, and the
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventh Bomb Wing. It's also host to
Speaker 2: mission partners dedicated to quote providing nuclear deterrence, combat power,
Speaker 2: and combat support anytime anywhere. Tight like dominoes, like dominoes,
Speaker 2: just like dominoes, but with nukes, dominiques. There we go,
Speaker 2: We got there, we got there. And this is this
Speaker 2: is the most important part. The second Bomb Wing is
Speaker 2: the the host unit of Barksdale Air Force Base. I
Speaker 2: don't know what that means. Do you guys know what
Speaker 2: the host unit means? Maybe the most crucial part of
Speaker 2: the air Force base, perhaps, but it is one of
Speaker 2: only two B fifty two Strato Fortress bomber bases in
Speaker 2: the Air Force. Now, a while ago we talked about
Speaker 2: strato fortresses. What those guys are the giant B fifty
Speaker 2: two bombers that actually carry nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3: When they need to be carry the sky?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Chonky boys in the sky.
Speaker 5: Yes, I thought she said chalky boys in disguise and
Speaker 5: I was picturing a Transformers type scenario.
Speaker 3: But it's both of these ideas.
Speaker 2: So why are we talking about these chonky boys. Well,
Speaker 2: we got a message from Spooky Pan and we're gonna
Speaker 2: listen to it right now.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, my name is Spitch Bands. There's a thing
Speaker 7: called the bark Still Bubble. Bark Still Air Force Space
Speaker 7: in Boucher City, Louisiana. I live across the river in Streatport.
Speaker 7: Is the home to all our nuclear weapons, aside from
Speaker 7: Kirtland Air Force Space in New Mexico and Abuquerque. But
Speaker 7: you know what the thing is. The thing is is
Speaker 7: that no bad weather ever happens over our area to
Speaker 7: persuade anything from the B fifty two's coming back. It's
Speaker 7: called the bark Still bubble. So I'd love it if
Speaker 7: you guys kind of investigated the bark Still bubble. Love
Speaker 7: you show, Love you guys. Hope you're doing well.
Speaker 3: Hey, first off, there nuclear weapons everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that so that's the thing, spooky Pants. Barksdale
Speaker 2: is home to the Chonky boys that carry the nukes,
Speaker 2: the certain nukes. But then they're nukes chilling everywhere.
Speaker 3: But in a way, yeah, spooky Pants, you're you're absolutely correct. Uh,
Speaker 3: there has been from my understanding at least bet there
Speaker 3: has been a lot of speculation over the years regarding
Speaker 3: possible I guess meteorological anomalies would be a word for it,
Speaker 3: or a phrase like the pattern, just like you're describing
Speaker 3: spooky Pants, the idea that the weather seems somehow courteous. Guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, this reminds me of there's a character
Speaker 5: in the movie Waiting for Guffman that David Cross plays
Speaker 5: is like a UFO expert, and he's talking about have
Speaker 5: been coming to this circle in Blaine, Indiana for five
Speaker 5: years and sorry Missouri and measuring it. The diameter and
Speaker 5: there's circumference always constantly changed, but the radius stays the
Speaker 5: same once you go into that circle.
Speaker 4: The weather never changes. It is always sixty seven degrees
Speaker 4: with a forty percent chance of rain. WHOA, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I wonder if they're inspired by this, this bubble that
Speaker 5: we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Well, interestingly enough, this Barksdale bubble thing really arises in
Speaker 2: the nineties, the mid nineties to be precise, when a
Speaker 2: little thing called Doppler radar shows up out there near
Speaker 2: the Barksdale Air Force Base. And we'll get into that,
Speaker 2: but first of all, if you go on a little
Speaker 2: hunt for this thing called the Barksdale bubble that Spooky
Speaker 2: Pants describes, you're gonna find a lot of stuff. One
Speaker 2: thing you're gonna find is a beer from Great Raft
Speaker 2: Brewing on Shreveport. According to Untapped quote, this IPA is
Speaker 2: a thick, juicy, tropical fruit bomb, which is very exciting.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, yes, Love, you got your back. What
Speaker 3: is untapped?
Speaker 2: Untapped is a great website that reviews beers. It's like
Speaker 2: crowdsourced beer reviews. It's pretty cool, actually.
Speaker 3: All right, well, they sound like they're they're legit, so.
Speaker 2: They're so legit. Great raft also, according to Untapped, has
Speaker 2: a black lagger that I desperately want to try, called
Speaker 2: reasonably corrupt. It sounds very, very fun and I like
Speaker 2: their style over there at Great Rafts alright. Also, guys,
Speaker 2: Barksdale Bubble. It's a band, no you can find Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can find them at the Barksdale Bubble dot com.
Speaker 2: According to that site, this band is a quote electrifying
Speaker 2: fusion of powerhouse female vocals and searing guitar solos.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It features bandmates Chris Fomo, Hirsh, Gabby Ray, Tim Not
Speaker 2: the director, Burton, Chris count Me and Robinson a k a.
Speaker 2: The unfairly photogenic botanist.
Speaker 3: What characters that's up there with those Australian IMDb film description.
Speaker 4: Absolute exactly, Yes, definitely all right.
Speaker 7: Cool.
Speaker 3: So it feels like we solved it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we solved it. But one of the last things
Speaker 2: you're gonna find are several Facebook groups, several places on Reddit,
Speaker 2: and several I guess just off the beaten path websites
Speaker 2: that are discussing this anomaly, if you will. The nice
Speaker 2: weather that appears above Barksdale all the time. There are
Speaker 2: so many screenshots of the Doppler radar above Barksdale showing
Speaker 2: a ring of green or red or just bad stuff happening.
Speaker 2: And then right in the center near where the Air
Speaker 2: Force base is nothing just clear skies at least according
Speaker 2: to the.
Speaker 3: Radar beyond a matrix dodge.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like as in, something's going on down here.
Speaker 3: Okay, So so it is sideways around a certain perimeter,
Speaker 3: but within that perimeter it's a beautiful day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything looks good, especially if you are a weatherman
Speaker 2: and you've got one of those green screens behind you
Speaker 2: and you're pointing out, you know, places where it's getting
Speaker 2: real bad. Free for it. Oh my gosh, this is
Speaker 2: not good. Guys, everybody hunker down. Oh wait, there's this
Speaker 2: one little nice look at that, so clear and calumn
Speaker 2: right there. Okay, So who else do we go to
Speaker 2: to figure out what this is? Then? A weatherman. His
Speaker 2: name is Andrew Brightman circa twenty twenty one. In April,
Speaker 2: he was a weatherman for KSLA News twelve, and he
Speaker 2: put out just some of the best reporting I've seen
Speaker 2: in a long time, guys of the weather variety. I
Speaker 2: linked to it in here. You can find it right now.
Speaker 2: You can really just search Barksdale Bubble KSLA. But the
Speaker 2: title is Barksdale Bubble explaining the legend of the weather
Speaker 2: manipulation device protecting Barksdale Air Force Base in this report guys,
Speaker 2: which the video appears to be straight out of our
Speaker 2: YouTube channel. I don't know if Andrew watches or it
Speaker 2: just likes the same stuff we like. Whatever it is,
Speaker 2: it's amazingly produced and it goes through it. It's talking
Speaker 2: to a bunch of people, like radio local radio folks,
Speaker 2: local people from Barksdale, people like from the air Force
Speaker 2: base who are actually in the control tower there talking
Speaker 2: to everybody about this weird anomaly and all of the
Speaker 2: theories that surround it about maybe it really is some
Speaker 2: kind of manipulation device to protect certain parts of the
Speaker 2: air Force base that's not too outside of what we
Speaker 2: know can happen. We've talked about weather manipulation on the
Speaker 2: show before, but it's generally about the most common thing
Speaker 2: is cloud seating, where you can encourage weather to like
Speaker 2: maybe move in a certain way by creating the right
Speaker 2: situation for moisture to generate in one area rather than another.
Speaker 2: And then depending on you know, the wind patterns, you
Speaker 2: can kind of manipulate the weather to be better in
Speaker 2: one area by making it rain earlier before it gets
Speaker 2: to you or after it gets to you, Right, that's
Speaker 2: kind of the idea. Well, guys. In this report, Andrew
Speaker 2: makes the following statement that we're going to play in
Speaker 2: just a moment based on a couple of things. Specifically,
Speaker 2: one of the things we mentioned earlier here that Doppler
Speaker 2: radar was installed in the mid nineteen nineties in the
Speaker 2: area and this bubble has been seen since then. Andrew
Speaker 2: describes a little flaw in Doppler radar that we need
Speaker 2: to be aware of because it may just explain what
Speaker 2: this bubble is. So let's go to Andrew.
Speaker 6: Sometimes, when we freeport Boser, there's dry air close to
Speaker 6: the ground and rain high in the atmosphere that evaporates
Speaker 6: before reaching Earth, but the Doppler's beam still picks up
Speaker 6: that prepation recording it has a green image on the
Speaker 6: radar screen. However, close to the tower, the Doppler has
Speaker 6: an almost circular blind spot that fails to see high
Speaker 6: atmospheric rain close to the tower, creating a mirage making
Speaker 6: it look like it's raining and storming around Streamport, Bosire
Speaker 6: while Marchdale remains sunny and dry.
Speaker 4: Okay, makes sense.
Speaker 2: So it really does make sense when when you hear
Speaker 2: Andrew explain it. So I don't efficiently, yeah.
Speaker 3: Accurately, Yeah, non b.
Speaker 2: Exactly, but it is so great that he couches that
Speaker 2: little nugget of information inside this piece that feels like
Speaker 2: an unsolved mystery episode just to give you just the facts. Hey,
Speaker 2: sometimes it appears as though there's nothing going on here,
Speaker 2: but it's literally because the radar can't see it, and
Speaker 2: because it's not actually raining right there, it's picking up
Speaker 2: the weather that's happening above the dry air.
Speaker 3: And you know, another interesting thing about this, you guys
Speaker 3: and spooky pants in specific here is that despite the
Speaker 3: advent of Doppler radar as a technology being relatively recent
Speaker 3: in its rollout to the public, we do know there's
Speaker 3: like a century worth of somewhat reliable data about weather patterns.
Speaker 3: So it will be interesting also to look at just
Speaker 3: the region right the overall climate of this Reveport area
Speaker 3: there in a pretty pretty cool part of the United
Speaker 3: States actually, and see if maybe there are accounts of
Speaker 3: some kind of sacro sanct area. Maybe there are accounts
Speaker 3: of just regular rain. I don't know. Man, Well it's tough.
Speaker 2: I can't recommend everybody watched that video more because right
Speaker 2: at the end, after you know, talking about all the
Speaker 2: theories and all of that stuff, Andrew makes that explanation
Speaker 2: and then goes to the other parts of those interviews
Speaker 2: where it's people from the Air Force base saying, oh, yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: we've we've fought all kinds of insane weather on the
Speaker 2: Air Force base. It's it is, we get the exact
Speaker 2: same weather that everybody else gets in this area. Uh no,
Speaker 2: they basically you know, and you got to take the
Speaker 2: the Air Force base personnel at their word.
Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, but I'm just I'm laughing because
Speaker 3: now I'm picturing some guy who is just a hapless
Speaker 3: mechanic it has to, you know, constantly be doing maintenance
Speaker 3: on these vehicles. And just how pissed that guy must
Speaker 3: be at the radar boys, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: He's like, these did these drips? You know, I don't
Speaker 3: know how they curse nowadays, drips bills eel, I.
Speaker 2: Have no idea. In the end, it's all to protect
Speaker 2: the Chalky boys. I'm going to think about that all day, guys.
Speaker 2: In other Andrew Brightman News, it was his last day
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two, on August fifth, at least
Speaker 2: according to this other video on KSLA News, he moved
Speaker 2: over to Charlotte, North Carolina and is now working for
Speaker 2: Queen City News. But major shout out to you, Andrew Brightman.
Speaker 2: We we like your style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, also Jim Yeah, oh, I love when people
Speaker 3: say cut of your jip. We should have a we
Speaker 3: should have a green screen. I'm gonna pitch you guys
Speaker 3: a video. What if we do like weather, weatherman meteorologists stuff,
Speaker 3: but instead of the weather, we predict conspiracies on the
Speaker 3: green screen.
Speaker 4: I love it, I love it, love it.
Speaker 2: We got a real heavy Barksdale bubble move in its way,
Speaker 2: George Charlotte. Uh, by the way, being named bright Man
Speaker 2: and like you're a weatherman that's determined. Come on incredible.
Speaker 2: Uh So, Hey, spooky Pants, we hope we didn't burst
Speaker 2: your bark Stale bubble too much here, but we do.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: We highly highly appreciate you calling in letting us know.
Speaker 2: I believe former Atlantean. According to another part of Spooky
Speaker 2: Pants's messages. I think at some people do this. They'll
Speaker 2: they'll call in, leave a message and then forget to
Speaker 2: like give permission in that message, then call back and
Speaker 2: do a second one. I think it was the second
Speaker 2: message that just said, oh, by the way, I'm former Atlantean.
Speaker 2: You can use my message.
Speaker 3: All are welcome, just like the ghost said in Poltergeist.
Speaker 4: Do you go into the light or don't go into
Speaker 4: the light. You don't go, okay, you don't go into
Speaker 4: the light.
Speaker 5: It if you do go into the light, ty rope
Speaker 5: around your waist and have somebody hold it outside of
Speaker 5: the right in case they need to read it again.
Speaker 3: And get the guy who is in that sitcom coach.
Speaker 2: There you go, There you go.
Speaker 4: House is clear. That very interesting looking lady. I love
Speaker 4: that movie.
Speaker 3: I loved her. Her tender was crazy.
Speaker 2: Jesus, you know what she wore, spooky pants. All right,
Speaker 2: be right back. After a word from our sponsor, let's
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: And we have returned with just a little bit of errata,
Speaker 3: some addendans erotica. I am in your head. I know.
Speaker 3: We'll open with a letter from uh, from a guy
Speaker 3: I want to workshop nicknames with. We'll call him s
Speaker 3: H for doubt. All right, but this is a response
Speaker 3: to some uh can kay's we've had regarding the ongoing
Speaker 3: situation with innocent residents of the United States and getting
Speaker 3: black bagged out to El Salvador.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, don't like that.
Speaker 3: Carry on, yeah, yeah, we always start off with the
Speaker 3: light stuff, right, So, okay, hello, stuff. They don't want
Speaker 3: you to know. I enjoy your podcast hard period. I've
Speaker 3: found your discussion on L. Salvador prisons to be interesting.
Speaker 3: I've driven from California to Panama on several occasions. I
Speaker 3: intentionally avoided going through L. Salvador because at the time
Speaker 3: it was the most dangerous country in Central America, which also,
Speaker 3: by the way, sh tells us a little bit about
Speaker 3: when you were driving. Sah continues, it's now one of
Speaker 3: the safest countries. Before Bukele became president of the country
Speaker 3: was overrun by criminal gangs who committed murders and extor
Speaker 3: on much of the population. After having built the prison
Speaker 3: you were speaking of on your podcast and locking up
Speaker 3: the criminals and gang members, the number of murders in
Speaker 3: the country has dropped down to below that of Canada.
Speaker 3: Most of the citizens of El Salvador says a sh
Speaker 3: love what Bukele has done for their country and would
Speaker 3: re elect him in a heartbeat. And many other countries
Speaker 3: in Latin America would like to duplicate El Salvador's success
Speaker 3: in reducing crime and the influence of the drug cartels.
Speaker 3: Now let's pause here for a second, because this feels
Speaker 3: like a really important point. Guys. We've heard of We've
Speaker 3: heard of dictators or authoritarians or even fascists who are
Speaker 3: lauded by the domestic population because they are seen as
Speaker 3: cutting past the red tape, right, they're like cracking down
Speaker 3: on crime.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of Libya in particular, where we heard pretty
Speaker 2: historic levels of approval basically back in the day before
Speaker 2: the you know, their leader was sir you know, I
Speaker 2: was gonna say unceremoniously murdered, but there was quite a
Speaker 2: bit of ceremony in.
Speaker 3: That before Gaddafi tried to start a African version of
Speaker 3: a euro.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah. Or in Venezuela, there was a
Speaker 2: really high approval rating that was at least reported, right
Speaker 2: and if oh my gosh, guys, I just I found
Speaker 2: I found something. It's El Salvador in English dot.
Speaker 3: Com and this is legit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it says President Bukelia achieves historic ninety one percent
Speaker 2: global approval rating.
Speaker 3: Wow global? Yeah all right, yeah yeah yeah yeah, shout
Speaker 3: out to Flabir Putin. Sure. But that I mean, there
Speaker 3: is an argument there that has a lot of validity,
Speaker 3: is there not the idea that, look, you're you're growing
Speaker 3: up in a place where things stink, right, Shelter is
Speaker 3: a concern. Rule of law is a concern. Law enforcement
Speaker 3: officials are easily corruptible. They may be the criminals they're
Speaker 3: supposed to be looking for, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like they may be the hot dog guy and that
Speaker 3: Tim Robinson sketch and down right right now you have
Speaker 3: a guy who comes in and says, forget due process.
Speaker 3: We know who the bad guys are, you know, let's
Speaker 3: crack down on them. We can see logically how you
Speaker 3: you would support that, you know what I mean. You
Speaker 3: might say, I will sacrifice some of my rights, some
Speaker 3: of my liberty in return for safety. And that seems
Speaker 3: to be a somewhat fauski embargain, but it's one that
Speaker 3: has occurred throughout history. Anyway, we're editorializing, Shu continue and
Speaker 3: you say a very important point that adds to this.
Speaker 3: You continue, the United States and Europe are the largest
Speaker 3: consumers of cocaine and other illegal drugs. True, and as
Speaker 3: such we bear shs US national by the way, and
Speaker 3: as such, we bear much of the responsibility for the
Speaker 3: situation of crime and human suffering in these Latin American countries.
Speaker 3: We have an obvious choice in our country to either
Speaker 3: stop using illegal drugs or make them legal. It's something
Speaker 3: we've talked about on the show.
Speaker 2: Right, you can't use illegal drugs if they are in
Speaker 2: fact legal.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's perfect, Olla, that's really good. It's beautiful. So
Speaker 3: l Salvador, sh continues, is not a rich country, and
Speaker 3: the temptation to make a quick buck in the illegal
Speaker 3: drug trade is irresistible to many young people. Obviously that
Speaker 3: happens here. To decide to lock up all the gang
Speaker 3: members involved in this illegal trade is not the best solution.
Speaker 3: Unless we here in the United States accept responsibility for
Speaker 3: the illegal drug market, it will be the favored method.
Speaker 3: Locking people up will be the favored method to resolve
Speaker 3: this tragic situation. Thank you for the podcast. SH. So,
Speaker 3: First things first, good monikers for SH. I'm thinking, Wow,
Speaker 3: all my ideas are pretty terrible.
Speaker 2: Right now, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: Untrue?
Speaker 2: Get out of here?
Speaker 3: Oh jeez, Well, we'll go with SH if anybody wants
Speaker 3: to give a good solution a good moniker. If s
Speaker 3: H were a series of initials, what would SH stand
Speaker 3: for Starship Home? That's cool? You know we've been talking
Speaker 3: about space.
Speaker 2: Sugar Homie, Sugar Homie, Salvadorian.
Speaker 3: Hero, Salvadorian Hero. Yeah, I like that. And as usually
Speaker 3: happens in these recordings, folks, about three or four minutes
Speaker 3: after we wrap the show, Dylan is gonna hit us
Speaker 3: with the best one. Usually usually you know, he'll dig
Speaker 3: that route of bega. So the question, as we as
Speaker 3: we end here, before we move on real quick, what
Speaker 3: what do we think would happen if the United States
Speaker 3: slice the Achilles heel of the cartel Orge? But yeah,
Speaker 3: by just by just making these various substances legal.
Speaker 5: I've always I've often thought about that, like, like, would
Speaker 5: it be an immediate fix?
Speaker 4: I don't know, it seems more complicated than that.
Speaker 5: What do you guys think what they'd pivot right, and
Speaker 5: the cartels would pivot yeah, deep into avocados.
Speaker 3: Right now. We talked about that previously they're diversifying their portrait.
Speaker 5: Probably are like a lot of big media conglomos who
Speaker 5: realize that a certain technology is maybe starting to go
Speaker 5: the way of the dinosaur, or a certain type of distribution,
Speaker 5: perhaps like radio into podcasting, for example.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to wax my mustache when you say that, Noel,
Speaker 3: so that I look a little more like the guy
Speaker 3: with the two he's got the vaccine.
Speaker 4: It looks good, man. I like it. You should rock
Speaker 4: that to.
Speaker 3: Me from.
Speaker 4: Some evil mustachio waxy. Leave it in no space, but
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 2: It does well. You guys tell me, maybe I'm really wrong.
Speaker 2: We've talked about it so many times. It does at
Speaker 2: this point feel like my thoughts on it are solidified.
Speaker 2: If you legalized the drug trade, black markets would just
Speaker 2: shift and there would be a lot more human trafficking.
Speaker 3: There would be a little more of the other trafficking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there would be other stuff, right, And if you
Speaker 2: legalize maybe the sex trade, then maybe human trafficking starts
Speaker 2: to change and it really does become the kind of
Speaker 2: indentured servitude stuff that we just talked about.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it was last listener mail about people being
Speaker 2: shipped in from Asian countries to work basically in sweatshops
Speaker 2: here in the US and other places like that. So
Speaker 2: you're like, if you change, if you make a legal
Speaker 2: market for something, there's no real gain to the black
Speaker 2: market stuff, right, Yana the same way.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a pickle, right, because the main thing
Speaker 3: in these conversations about legal or illegal is that no
Speaker 3: one at the top level, no one should be stupid.
Speaker 3: There should not be a chump. It's okay to be evil,
Speaker 3: It's bad to be dumb. Uh. It is the way
Speaker 3: the like the rationale or the discourse takes place. So
Speaker 3: to that point, you know, you you're playing whack a mole, right,
Speaker 3: You're you're saying this thing is fine, and then a
Speaker 3: criminal organization, unless they want to move to like a
Speaker 3: regional or state level power, they'll find the next illegal
Speaker 3: thing because the profit margins are just just high enough,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So like, well, and you're not.
Speaker 2: The the anti tax incentives, right, I.
Speaker 5: Mean, that's a part of it, right, It's like a
Speaker 5: tax free business.
Speaker 4: It's a tax free industry.
Speaker 5: That's what we got to find is more ways to
Speaker 5: shelter our earnings from the taxman.
Speaker 3: Their HR sucks. But yeah, well, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well it's interesting how the market shifts for things. So
Speaker 2: driving around where I live now, and I'd be curious
Speaker 2: to know if this is y'all's experience too. In most
Speaker 2: gas stations that are not like a major brand like
Speaker 2: a QT, sure you will find a ton of quote
Speaker 2: THHC products, Yes, like a ton. I didn't even realize how.
Speaker 5: Their Delta nine though their analogs, their loophole products they are.
Speaker 2: But they are all THC products and they're everywhere, so
Speaker 2: it just and they are. They must be purchased all
Speaker 2: the time, or else there wouldn't be so many of
Speaker 2: them in so many stores.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: So in New York City, up until recently when they
Speaker 5: cracked down on this because of like legalization finally rolling
Speaker 5: out properly, all the bodegas sold actual cannabis under the table.
Speaker 5: That is no longer possible because the government there in
Speaker 5: New York City literally cracked down and went from door
Speaker 5: to door and shut a lot of these operations down.
Speaker 5: So you know, you really can only buy it through
Speaker 5: legal means. But before that it was a real Wild
Speaker 5: West situation.
Speaker 2: But I guess all, I'm yeah, no, I hear you
Speaker 2: all I'm trying to say is I think the market
Speaker 2: ends up finding away with a lot of that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff, And it does feel like if there was
Speaker 2: just a bigger push to just get that stuff out there,
Speaker 2: and it's in a product you can buy that isn't
Speaker 2: crazy expensive, then it does change. I don't know if
Speaker 2: there's all the moral arguments, right, you can't allow that
Speaker 2: to happen, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But also cocaine brought to you on a subscription
Speaker 3: model by Unilever, you know what I mean, subsidiary of
Speaker 3: Hulu or what have you. I don't know how long
Speaker 3: we're gonna I don't know how many shots I can
Speaker 3: fire before we get fired, but we do have. We
Speaker 3: do have further conversations in this light, you know. And
Speaker 3: I love the shout out to I love the shout
Speaker 3: out to independently owned gas stations. We know there's a huge,
Speaker 3: ethically fraught petroleum industry that does a lot of dirt,
Speaker 3: for sure, and also moves the world. But what I
Speaker 3: love about the small I don't know if this is
Speaker 3: maybe just a US thing or maybe just a Southern
Speaker 3: US thing, but what I love about independent gas stations
Speaker 3: in this part of the world is they will try anything.
Speaker 3: I saw a bitcoin at everywhere.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, what's funny you say that, But
Speaker 4: I was thinking about that.
Speaker 5: They obviously are no longer whoever invested in those for
Speaker 5: these gas stations, I don't think they're getting their money
Speaker 5: money as.
Speaker 3: Well, Yes, because their rate of attrition with weird ideas
Speaker 3: is so high, you know what I mean. Like, if
Speaker 3: you want to find forget the made first TV stuff,
Speaker 3: go find the shadiest gas station in your neighborhood and
Speaker 3: look on the backshelf. I guarantee you they've got something weird.
Speaker 5: Have we talked about how they get away with having
Speaker 5: these little gambling rooms too? Like these there's some of
Speaker 5: the same machines you'll see in Vegas. But I'm very
Speaker 5: confused as to why folks are posted up there.
Speaker 4: What are they getting?
Speaker 3: Hey, Like you said you were going to be Is
Speaker 3: that what it meant?
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, it is okay.
Speaker 2: There was a restaurant right near me that had a
Speaker 2: whole room in the back and if you won anything there,
Speaker 2: it was like getting a gift card for the restaurant.
Speaker 2: But you're spending a crapload of money trying to make
Speaker 2: some money.
Speaker 3: Machines you can also do. Oh man, all right, that's it,
Speaker 3: it's done. We're doing a gas station episode. Yes, we're
Speaker 3: doing a gain stuff they don't want you to know
Speaker 3: about gas stations brought to you.
Speaker 5: But also, is it worth it to buy your gas
Speaker 5: at cost co. I've seen a lot of differing opinions
Speaker 5: as to whether that's a subscription service there versus how
Speaker 5: much you pay for the game versus how much you're
Speaker 5: paying for groceries actually amounts to you getting a deal.
Speaker 4: So I don't know, it's something that might be worth that.
Speaker 3: That's great, Yeah, let's put that in there. Also, obviously
Speaker 3: shout out to everybody who just felt a little bit
Speaker 3: snooty when they heard us talking and said, you know,
Speaker 3: the way to save money is to take a bag
Speaker 3: of loose diamonds and just buy the tanker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the Pokemon cards that you keep in the
Speaker 4: same case as the.
Speaker 3: Loose diamonds, right right right, So heist decide. We're going
Speaker 3: to end with just a few quick clarifications needs to
Speaker 3: be said. First off, thank you to everyone who wrote
Speaker 3: in we mentioned this in an episode or previous recording.
Speaker 3: Menstruation and the moon are not related. The passage of
Speaker 3: the passage of the moon does not affect menstruation according
Speaker 3: to current studies. That's a piece of information that needs
Speaker 3: to be further out into the water world. Another important one.
Speaker 2: Wait, I feel like we've talked about that before on
Speaker 2: the show how.
Speaker 5: We had Maybe we must have, but I also probably
Speaker 5: brought up that I thought that they were I do
Speaker 5: remember recently in our astrology discussions, we were talking about
Speaker 5: ways of justifying how astrology might actually correlate with real stuff,
Speaker 5: and we had a listener right in I think I said,
Speaker 5: I repeated that perhaps let's call it a what would.
Speaker 3: You call it, guys? Yeah, yeah, technically fact is something
Speaker 3: that sounds like a fact. And I'm guilty of repeating them.
Speaker 4: I know so.
Speaker 3: But you are not alone. You are not alone. This
Speaker 3: is here's a mea culpa on my part. We had
Speaker 3: a conversation recently where we talked about flotsam versus jetsam,
Speaker 3: and I said, oh, man, flotsam floats and jetsam sinks.
Speaker 3: While that is not entirely incorrect, the important thing to
Speaker 3: know and please merchant marines stop sending the emails flotsam
Speaker 3: and jetsam are describing different types of debris or trash.
Speaker 3: So flotsam is the stuff you lose. It's not deliberately
Speaker 3: thrown overboard. So like a cargo ship amid the dangerous
Speaker 3: waters in a storm in the Pacific because they don't
Speaker 3: have the Barkstelle bubble when they lose a container ship,
Speaker 3: that's flotsam.
Speaker 2: Or a shipwreck or something right, right, or.
Speaker 3: A shipwreck or something. Yeah, And if you are in
Speaker 3: a hurry, just you've gotten some situations on the water
Speaker 3: and you got to throw some stuff out, that's jetsam.
Speaker 2: So is that like is that like? I'm sorry, I'm
Speaker 2: just going to my mind to like a science fiction
Speaker 2: story where the spaceship it needs to offload some weight
Speaker 2: for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: I figure, Like remember that time, you guys we were
Speaker 3: trying to we had to commandeer that helicopter and there
Speaker 3: wasn't enough room.
Speaker 5: By the way, did you see that crazy helicopter crash
Speaker 5: in New York over the Hudson or like it literally
Speaker 5: fell out of the sky. Friend of mine sent that
Speaker 5: to me and just said, like, never flying in a
Speaker 5: helicopter ever, not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, flying a plane is like learning
Speaker 3: Mandarin but flying a helicopters like learning cantonates.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Ben, I don't remember the helicopter thing you're talking about,
Speaker 2: but I do remember way back in the day we
Speaker 2: shot Raven Oh. I think they were called like Raven
Speaker 2: two's or something at the at a local airport way
Speaker 2: back in the day. I think you and I are
Speaker 2: both there, maybe with Marshall.
Speaker 3: Nice Marshall wow from earlier. Yes, we have a we
Speaker 3: have a lot of I have a lot of weird stories.
Speaker 3: Maybe at some point the the four of us should
Speaker 3: get together and write them down, or rather the five
Speaker 3: of us including you as well. With these corrections, these
Speaker 3: letters from home, we're getting a note from our producer
Speaker 3: that this is the close of our listener mail. So
Speaker 3: big thanks to Kate, Big, thanks to spooky Pants, big,
Speaker 3: thanks to sh That is our sugar homie, starship Home.
Speaker 3: What's a Salvador and hero and super cool? Super cool? Hang,
Speaker 3: that's the love, thank you, that's the most important one.

Speaker 3: you to join the show. You can find us on
Speaker 3: the internet. You can find us on the telephone. You
Speaker 3: can send us a good old fashioned email. It's right.

Speaker 5: Ben mentioned on the interwebs, at least at the handle
Speaker 5: conspiracy stuff where we exist on Facebook with our Facebook
Speaker 5: group here's where it gets crazy. On YouTube we have
Speaker 5: video content for our perusing enjoyment and entertainment. And on
Speaker 5: x FKA, Twitter, on Instagram and TikTok, however, were conspiracy
Speaker 5: stuff showing there's more.

Speaker 2: out to Chef Ben from Chicago that calls us all
Speaker 2: the time. Chef Ben gave us a recipe that we
Speaker 2: all need to listen to. Yes for curry chicken salad.
Speaker 4: That sounds great.
Speaker 5: I've been literally was just talking yesterday about how I
Speaker 5: need to get into chicken salad, and this sounds like
Speaker 5: just the ticket for me.
Speaker 2: Dude. Basically, what Chef Ben says is make curry chicken
Speaker 2: and then get it in the fridge overnight. After you know,
Speaker 2: you eat your curry chicken meal, then your leftovers. You
Speaker 2: add some mayo and some other things to it, including
Speaker 2: I think it was golden raisin, crunches and red onions,
Speaker 2: and you make a glorious curry chicken Saladazy.
Speaker 4: I'm doing it.
Speaker 3: And if we can do one thing, we'll have to beat.
Speaker 3: This joke is just for you, chef. How you been so?
Speaker 2: Yeah, If you've got recipes, hey send them our way.
Speaker 2: We love those kinds of things, and you can send
Speaker 2: them to us via voicemail, or you can send them
Speaker 2: to us via email.
Speaker 3: We are the entities that read each piece of correspondence
Speaker 3: we receive. Be well aware, yet unafraid. Sometimes the void
Speaker 3: writes back, what are we talking about? Why does that
Speaker 3: sound ominous? Don't be the reasonable person in your favorite
Speaker 3: horror mood. Be the person who opens the door and
