So, Blake, uh, 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: that was part of your your coverage this morning as well, 27 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: I know was taking in some of these remembrances, right yeah, 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: and yeah, you talk about across the country, but really 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: there were a lot of Memorial Day remembrances right here 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: in southern California. You know, they're just in the LA 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: area alone. There were plenty to plenty to kind of 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: choose from, you know, which one to cover. We headed 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles National Cemetery. This is the first 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: time they've been able to actually have people have the 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: public back in person to pay their respects for fall 36 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: in veterans. So it was a huge year for the 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: people that we're putting this on. They say, you know, 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: it's just extra special to have people back this year 39 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: able to pay their respects in person. And one of 40 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: the people I spoke to. He was one of the 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: speakers at this remembered ceremony. This is Chaplain Dove Cohen. 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: He served since the Vietnam War, so he's been a chaplain. 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: He says, next month, it'll be sixty years. Can you 44 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: believe that? Sixty years? Wow? And I told him, you 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: know this day has to mean so, you know, it 46 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: has to have just an extra sense of meaning for 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: you as a chaplain. Chaplain's work with the families of 48 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: people who've fallen in war. And he says, yeah, And 49 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: he said one of the hardest things he's had to 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: do is work with people who are scared to go 51 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: to combat. So they're afraid before they go, and they 52 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: they end up not coming back. So they know the risk, 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, they have the fear going in and they 54 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: end up not coming back. Here's a story he had. 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: This is from the Vietnam War. This story. We trained 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: with the group at Lakeland Air Force Base in San Antonio, 57 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: and then when I came back from Europe, they sent 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: me to Eggland Air Force based Florida, where they trained 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: a lot of the helicopter Pilot's Army at the air 60 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Force base. And I would say the percentage was something 61 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: like eighty one percent that did not come back, and 62 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: he said, it's just so hard working with that many people, 63 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: developing these relationships with them, getting to know them, and 64 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: to lose them. You know, for him it's challenging. You know, 65 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: it's challenging for him, it's challenging for the families. One 66 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: of the one of the questions I asked was just 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: you know about how you know? I said, how how 68 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: how long do these families seem to feel pain from 69 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: losing someone to battle? And he said, for a lot 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: of families that the pain just it just never goes away. 71 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: How long it is? How do you work with these 72 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: families that a lot of lusts needed as long as 73 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: you need. There are some people I've been in touch 74 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: with over fifty years and there and we still save 75 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: in touch, sending Christmas cards. We I've been to some 76 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: of their weddings of their kids. The husband didn't come back, 77 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: and those days there were very few women in service, 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: so the majority killed were men. But I would get 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: invitations to come to the kid's wedding or baptism or something, 80 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: and I've been all over the country just trying to 81 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: do that to lend a hand to some families fifty 82 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: years still in pain. Yeah, today, I'll be a champlain 83 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: on June twenty fifty. Sixty years, he said, in sixty 84 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: years too. And I thought this was profound, he said, 85 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: in sixty years. It doesn't get easier, he says, it 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: doesn't get easier going and speaking to these families that 87 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: have lost loved ones in warm soh, my goodness. You know, 88 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: it was just really powerful to speak to somebody like 89 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: that at the memorial and and and there. You know, 90 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: there is a little bit of a I wouldn't say 91 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: a silver lining, but there is a really cool story 92 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: here at at the cemetery. There's ninety thousand grave sites 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: at the cemetery, and they wanted to put an American 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: flag in each at each grave site. It's a trade. 95 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: Usually they have eight to ten thousand scouts these are 96 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Eagle Scouts to do the 97 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: work right. This year they only had twenty five hundred 98 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: to do so, and they can't do it too far 99 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: out because they want the flags to stay in you 100 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: in nice condition for the ceremony. So they had twenty 101 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: five hundred scouts, again, Boy Scouts, Eagle Scouts and Girl 102 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: Scouts working extremely fast, extremely hard to make sure that 103 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: this display was done right. Well, I mean, just from 104 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: a logistical standpoint, that is quite an undertaking just to 105 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: have all of the flags there, to line up a 106 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: bunch of In some cases you're talking about young kids, right, 107 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's like trying to herd cats and getting all 108 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: of them just to do this. That is a remarkable 109 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: endeavor just to get the flags in place. Blank. Go ahead, 110 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Well, and one thing to note too is 111 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: it's not like they just plant the flags and keep walking. 112 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: They actually place the flag, they step back, they read 113 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: the veteran's name, they salute, and then they move to 114 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: the next grade. So this is a it's also not 115 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: something you can do very fast. No, No, it's a 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: it's a it's an interesting ritual that that goes on, 117 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Like you said, yeah, not just planting the flag and 118 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: then moving on. Each one has its own mini ceremony 119 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: basically when that happens. This this chaplain, I'm just thinking, 120 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: as we're talking about him sixty years, that he's been 121 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: a chaplain. Some families with whom he's been in contact 122 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: for for over fifty years, that lost loved ones, and 123 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: I just think of how important he is to these 124 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: other people as Yeah, I guess sort of that that 125 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I guess I'm the words I'm 126 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: looking for escape me now, But it would be he's 127 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: almost like that that safety blanket for them, right, I mean, 128 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: he when they are feeling emotionally difficult, they keep going 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: back to him because he was there from the beginning, 130 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: and he has become a family member to them as 131 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: much as anyone else, because he really his presence reminds 132 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: them of the love they had for the love for 133 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: the lost, and they know that others have that same 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: love as well, right, And I just it's such an 135 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: incredible undertaking by that chaplain to continue to do it 136 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: for as long as he has to continue to stay 137 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: in contact with these other people. And I just think, 138 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Blake, it doesn't get any easier. Of course, 139 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't get any easier. And what an incredible individual 140 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: that person is. And I think we need to remember, 141 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, the sacrifices that are being made by people 142 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: who are still with us that are our connection to 143 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: those that we've lost. Does that make sense absolutely? And 144 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things. I also spoke to 145 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: somebody about that I thought was interesting as he said, 146 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, one faction of veterans that we've lost to battle, 147 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: they didn't necessarily die when the war was happening, but 148 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: when they came home dealing with PTSD, and you know, 149 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: he was opening up to me about, you know, losing 150 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: friends to that, and I could tell that that was 151 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: a big portion of the veteran population he wanted to 152 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: make sure to speak about today was the one not 153 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: that necessarily died in battle, but but came home to 154 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: a host of challenges. And uh, you know we're lost 155 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: in that process. Sure. And of course, as we know 156 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: of Blake, suicide is one of the leading causes of 157 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: death for for members of the military. And um, and boy, 158 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: what a great point you make too, and what a 159 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: great point he makes is we try to remember, Hey, 160 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: thanks for thanks for doing the story today, Blake. I 161 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: appreciate being out there and being able to relet that 162 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: to us and and um, you know, share the positivity 163 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: of the scouts who went out there and did what 164 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: they needed to do. And then great people like this 165 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: Chaplain that you talked to. I think it's a it's 166 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: an uplifting moment at a time of remembrance, and I 167 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: think we need those those those beacons um and our lives. Yeah. Absolutely. 168 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: I think the feeling through everybody that was there was thankful, 169 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, thankful that there's people that go out and 170 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: and do stuff that's not very that's not very not 171 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: easy at all, you know, going into battle Ale. Yeah, 172 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: all right, Blake, thank you so much, great report. Thank you. 173 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah. And I was younger. I was 174 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: in the high school band. I'm not trying to not 175 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: trying to steal a thunder from anybody else, but just 176 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: kind of an anecdote. I was in the high school band. 177 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: I played tuba, right, I'm a big guy, and I 178 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: was the guy that could carry the tuba. Other people 179 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: couldn't carry the big, great big SUSI him and one 180 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: of my best friends was a trumpet player. So I 181 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: was at junior. He was a sophomore, but we were 182 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the school year and he was 183 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: the first chair trumpet player and he was he was 184 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: chosen to play taps. The high school band always went. 185 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 1: It was voluntary, but almost everyone showed up for the 186 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: memorial day. A graveside service, and we played I think 187 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: we played the national anthem, and I think maybe we 188 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: played one or two patriotic songs as well, and then 189 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: he would play one trumpet player would play taps, and 190 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: he was first chair trumpets, so he was chosen to 191 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: play taps and a sophomore year. He was so nervous, 192 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: and taps is not a very different cool song. You 193 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: played trumpet, he played on a bugle, and he I 194 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: think he ended up playing on a bugle the second 195 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: time he did it, But the first time he did, 196 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: he just played it on his trumpet, and he was 197 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: so nervous that he just couldn't get the notes out right. 198 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: It was just horrible. And I'm sure people tell him, 199 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: don't worry. His name was Tom, he's a great guy, 200 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: and they said, Tom, don't worry about this. You know, 201 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna remember this. But I just want to remind 202 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: Tom that I remember. I don't remember because he because 203 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: it was because he aired, because everyone was supportive. They 204 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: knew he was nervous standing there at the grave site 205 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: in this solemn moment, and he wanted everything to be perfect, 206 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: and of course psychologically just wasn't there for him. But 207 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: the next year, he was still first chair. I was 208 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: a senior getting ready. In fact, I had graduated that 209 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: that to Friday before, but still wanted to be there 210 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: with the band to play this Memorial Day thing. And 211 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Tom was a junior and he was chosen again. And 212 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: I know he was twice as nervous because the previous 213 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: year he had done such a his nerves had gotten 214 00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: the best of him. I don't want to say he 215 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: did a poor job, because I don't want to say 216 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,599 Speaker 1: that about him. He was a great guy, but his 217 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: nerves got the best of him. I think he pulled 218 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: a bugle out this time. And it was one of 219 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: those moments where you're you're rooting for somebody, right, you're 220 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: just cheering. I mean, he was a good friend of 221 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: mine anyway, but we were just rooting for him to 222 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: be able to remember, you know, oh, let's let's make 223 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: good on that. And he did it. He nailed it. It 224 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: It was perfect, It was wonderful. And so I think 225 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: of as Blake's talking about these these cub scouts that 226 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: are out there that are laying those flags and saluting 227 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: and reading the names of the fallen, I think about 228 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: the people that have to organize these different events. I 229 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: think of the different to veteran groups that are making 230 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: sure things go smoothly. I think of people like the chaplain, 231 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: and then I think of everyone else that's part of 232 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: these these different ceremonies, including that that nervous, pimple faced 233 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: high school kid trying to make sure he doesn't goof 234 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: things up. It really is. It's a community effort, and 235 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm so proud of everybody that's been a part of that, 236 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: and I'm proud of Blake for being out there and 237 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: reporting on that and being able to bring that to you. 238 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: So it's a great way to remember those that have 239 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: sacrificed so much for all of us to be able 240 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: to do silly things like sit here and talk on 241 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: the radio about coyotes in the backyard or coyotes in 242 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: your house, which is what happened to one person in 243 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: Woodland Hills. We'll talk about it next. Chris merrill In 244 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: for john and Kent k IF. I am six forty 245 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: live everywhere in your iHeart Radio Act. I'm Chris merrill 246 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: In for Johnny Kenn Did you I'm gonna catch this? 247 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: I was watching the story a CBS two had the 248 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: story and I was watching this about the woman with 249 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: the coyote that was just tiptoeing across the top of 250 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: her fence. It was wild and then he just scaled 251 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: along in this fence here. Julie Levine has lived in 252 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: Woodland Hills for forty five years, but she's never had 253 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: this type of an encounter or very shocking. I mean, 254 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: of course, we all know that kyotes are out there. 255 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: They all can hop fences, but you certainly didn't think 256 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: about him going through a dog door. And it was 257 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: all caught on camera. You can see a pretty good 258 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: sized coyote in Levine's backyard and going into her home 259 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: through her doggie door. Levine, and animal lover, has a 260 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: few dogs herself and runs a nonprofit called Canine Rescue Connection. 261 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: She says the coyote was in her home for at 262 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: least two minutes before her dogs scared the coyote off. 263 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: They're out there and they're very bold, and they just 264 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: don't doesn't matter. They're just looking for any way they 265 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: can get food or water or who knows if it's 266 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: they gonna bring more back with them. Okay, listen, I've 267 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: only seen a coyote on top of one of those 268 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: It was a block fence. I've only seen that happen 269 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: one time in person, but I hear about it all 270 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: the time. And she caught this on the security camp. 271 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was like a ring cam 272 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: or you know, whatever something like that. So this coyote 273 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: is tiptoeing across the top of this fence and it's 274 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: like a normal what five six foot fence, whatever it is. 275 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: And I'm always impressed by the coyotes that are doing 276 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: this because we really are just talking. I don't I 277 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: don't mean to tribulize this or be flipping at all, 278 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: but we're talking about something in the dog family. Now. 279 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: You have probably seen dogs that will do tricks and 280 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: a tiptoe and sometimes dogs get a little adventurous on 281 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: their own right without training or prodding from the from 282 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: the owners. But it seems that these coyotes, and I 283 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's just a few coyotes that are 284 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: acrobatic coyotes or have that proclivity, but it just seems 285 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: like these coyotes, all of them, are willing to tiptoe 286 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: crosses on a block fence like this, a block wall, 287 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: and that's that's what they do. And then it goes. Huh. Now, 288 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: this woman runs a dog rescue and maybe it smelled 289 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: the other dogs. But there's a door in the door. 290 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: I wonder if I can get in there. Coyote drops 291 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: down and just right into the house and it goes. 292 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: And as we continue to build into the coyote habitat, 293 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: we're going to have more and more of these runnings. Right, 294 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this is we know what the deal is 295 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: on this. You know how it goes. You you keep 296 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: pushing animals into tighter and tighter spaces, and eventually the 297 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: animals are gonna try to integrate into your spaces. We 298 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: know that this is how it works. Well, I'll say, well, 299 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: I'm going a house. I don't have to worry about 300 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: the wild life. Well, yeah you do, because they're coming 301 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: and you coyotes are gonna be the first to adapt. 302 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: We already know that the canine dogs have already adapted 303 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: to domestication. Canines aren't very far from sneaking up to 304 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: the camps that dogs did, however, many thousands of years 305 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: ago before they became domesticated. And you're gonna have coyotes 306 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: that are gonna they're gonna kind of get closer and 307 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: closer and try to get as much food as they 308 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: possibly can. And I don't blame them. I did some 309 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: camping last summer, and I don't know if you've ever 310 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: heard it is. Maybe I should try to pull this up, 311 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: maybe find a YouTube on this, But I heard coyotes yipping. 312 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard this? It is freaky. It sounds 313 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: like it's not oh yeah, here we go, it's a 314 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: yipping barking. This is just from YouTube. I just grabbed this, 315 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: so this is exactly what it sounded like. I was 316 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: camping and I heard this, and I couldn't figure out 317 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: what it was. No, I've heard coyotes howl before, right, 318 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: I grew up in the woods and I've heard coyotes howl, 319 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: but I I hadn't heard this before, and so it 320 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: almost resembles like a nineteen fifties Western you know, when 321 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: they had the stereotypes of indigenous peoples and it was 322 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: always like, you know, they were all whooping and whooping 323 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: in circles and things like that. That's what this sounded like. 324 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: And I turned to my wife and I said, what 325 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: the hell is going on out there? Oh, by the way, guys, 326 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: I haven't monitored this, so I'm hoping that whoever is 327 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: filming this doesn't swear, so I just get ready on 328 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the on the dump. But I'm just in case I 329 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: don't know. Here, see we can hear this all right now, 330 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: have you heard that? You might go, okay, that's kind 331 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: of you. See if I can If they started yipping, 332 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: it gets I thought this is a video I pulled 333 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: up before. It's crazy how they all just started yipping. 334 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I grabbed one that doesn't do it. 335 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Whoever's filming it is just kind of shining off into 336 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: the distance. But he's yeah, okay, that's just one. It 337 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: is so bizarre to hear them. It just sounds it's 338 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: it's just that that if you just heard now, imagine 339 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: if if there were like ten of them doing that 340 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: all at once. It's just says it is the weirdest, 341 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: most bizarre there. You go, all right, you're hearing just 342 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: the holloling there. So anyway, if you're hearing that, maybe 343 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: lock the doggie door, just just go ahead and slap all. 344 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: Don't let that in there. Also, don't leave your animals 345 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: out at night. It seems so duh. But my wife 346 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: lost a cat to a coyote because she just said, oh, 347 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: the cat just comes and goes as it pleases, knowing 348 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: full well that this had happened. My sister in law 349 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: lost two cats. Oh the cats just go out, well, 350 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: you know when they just come and go as they want, 351 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: and we say, okay, well you know they're gonna get 352 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: eaten by a coyote. Oh no, that won't happen. Two 353 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: times my wife lost one before we met, and then 354 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: her sister was like, oh, that'll never happen to my cat, 355 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: and it does. And then she says, well, certainly it 356 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: couldn't happen again, and it does. So don't leave your 357 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: cats out. All you're doing is asking the coyotes to 358 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: come in and put a lid over your garbage. Do that. 359 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: Do that. They still might come in, but at least 360 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: they're not gonna they're gonna have a reason to come 361 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: back again, all right. One of my favorites is talking 362 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: about space junk. Next Chris merrill In for John and 363 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: kenk If. I am six forty live Everywhere in your 364 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: Heart Radio app. I love space stuff, I love it. 365 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: I was not really one of those kids that wanted 366 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: to be an astronaut, but I don't know what it 367 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: is about space. I think it's that it's so unknown. 368 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: There is no limitation on what could be out there, none, 369 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: and I love that. I love that. It's kind of 370 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: like we make a bad analogy. Imagine you find a 371 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: show on Netflix that you love, and imagine that there 372 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: are there are more episodes than you could possibly watch. 373 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: You would never have that feeling of oh it's over, 374 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: and the show would never get any worse. It would 375 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: always be your favorite show. Imagine that. That's what I 376 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: feel like space. It's always going to be there, and 377 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: there's always something new, and there's always another episode. I 378 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: love it. I love it. It allows me to dream. 379 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: But sometimes we start thinking of space coming a little 380 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: bit closer to home. Right, Yeah, so what happens when 381 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: space is here? And by that I mean suppose that 382 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: space just basically follows us home like a stray dog. 383 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: That's kind of what happens with the UFO stuff. There's 384 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: always speculation about the UFOs, and to be frank, I 385 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: don't buy a whole lot of it, but I love 386 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: the dreaming aspect. I watched that Ancient Aliens on History Channel. 387 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: I love that crap. I love it. I watch that 388 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: Expedition X History channel where they're just following things around 389 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: trying to figure out if it's supernatural or aliens or 390 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: something like. I love that crap. I don't believe any 391 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: of it, but I love the dreaming aspect. Love it. 392 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: So a couple of things that I'm digging on right now. 393 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: There's this Google Earth user that let me see user 394 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: at Google Maps fun there we go. Was on is 395 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: this on TikTok I think it's on Tiktokum exploring Google 396 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: will Earth near French Polynesia when they zoomed in on 397 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: an island called Starbuck Island, all right, and you're thinking, oh, 398 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: this is where you get your frope. No, they started 399 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: exploring Starbuck Island and they noted something that they claim 400 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: was uncanny. They spotted a long streak across the land 401 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: and they and they thought, what is going on on 402 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: this abandoned island that there would be this long streak 403 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: on this Google Earth photo. So they go over the 404 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: object located on the beach asking you for the UFO crash, 405 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: and so TikTok goes crazy. One user right Starbuck Island 406 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: where Starbucks came from. Another says it's a leftover building 407 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: from the Guando collection of the nineteenth century. It's named 408 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: Starbuck after the captain who discovered it. There you go, 409 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: and then another user writing about the strange stuff but anyway, 410 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: they claim, Oh, the Guando deposits worked on the island 411 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: from eighteen seventy and nineteen twenty, and attempts were made 412 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: to plant coconut trees but failed. The island became part 413 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: of another colony in nineteen seventy to YadA, YadA, YadA. 414 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: They say there were some shipwrecks in that area. But 415 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: here is this mysterious streak on the island. And I 416 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: tell you, I'm I'm looking at it right now. Let 417 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: me see if I can cut it. I can't really 418 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: zoom in a whole lot on this. It does appear, 419 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: this long streak that they're claiming. It appears like there's 420 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: almost some sort of a track, and then there's some 421 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: sort of I don't I don't know what it would be. 422 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: It looks as though something dragged along this island and 423 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: came to rest in the sand, leaving a trail behind it. 424 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: Some are saying that's it. It's UFOs. They're here and 425 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: we found about Google it's Congress was holding hearings this 426 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: month in May to try to figure out what was 427 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: going on with some of these UFOs. And by UFOs, 428 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: I mean unidentified flying objects or what do they call this? 429 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: Is it unidentified aerial phenomena? Is that what they're calling 430 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: it now UAP, unidentified aerial phenomena. Okay, thank you, Margus, 431 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: you're smart. Uh. So they had um uh, the Deputy 432 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: Director of Naval Intelligence. His name is Scott Bray, and 433 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: he was testifying with Congress. We haven't heard about this. 434 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: I just thought it's it's a it's a good story 435 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: to share with you here as we wrap up our 436 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: Memorial Day show, because you know, or no, I mean 437 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: a lot of these things are coming from the Navy 438 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: and fighter pilots who are accustomed and trained to deal 439 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: with the enemy, enemy combatants and and and all the 440 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: things that we would assume they But when you're talking 441 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: about unidentified aerial phenomena that is moving in a manner 442 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: that seems physically impossible or at least defies our understanding 443 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: of machines and physics today, that's got to be freaky. 444 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are traveling four or five six 445 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour in their fighter jets, and something 446 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: is out running them and then stopping and turning on 447 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: a dime. Look, Maverick can't do that. All right, It 448 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: might look like it in the movies, but what these 449 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 1: things are doing are things that can't be explained. At 450 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: least that's what the Navy is saying. Scott Bray is saying, 451 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: here is something, and he says, quote, I don't have 452 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: an explanation about what this is. Another one pointing out 453 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: some sort of a triangular shape captured by night vision 454 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: camera of the US Naval Air Systems Command. They say 455 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: this triangular object was flying over the sky of the 456 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: United States, stopped for a moment, didn't appear to have 457 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: any propulsion, eventually flashed and then disappeared, almost like one 458 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: of those old remember Mark, you and I roll enough 459 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: to remember this, right, Remember the computer monitors of the 460 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, they all had like the green lettering. Remember, Yeah, 461 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: So imagine if instead of having that block cursor flashing, 462 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: imagine if it were a triangle and then it just disappeared, 463 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: Except that instead of being out a monitor, the sky 464 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: is your monitor, so you're watching. Imagine if you were 465 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: watching one of those old green cursors flashing in the 466 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: sky above you and then it just vanishes. You've probably 467 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: already seen the photos of some of these air these 468 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: I call him aircraft. We don't know exactly what it is. 469 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: Who knows, who knows? I mean, maybe this is maybe 470 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: there's some sort of a computer program glitch and it's 471 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 1: just showing up on the screen. But I don't think 472 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: that's the case. I don't know what these things are. 473 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: Pilots identifying a spherical object crossing the plane very quickly. 474 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: You've probably seen some of these. One I believe came 475 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: out of Florida. One happened with some guys that were 476 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: training in San Diego that that saw these things that 477 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: were flying moving out racing, you know, out out out 478 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: racing the Navy fighter jets. No idea, No organic or 479 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: inorganic materials ever been collected. US intelligence teams have yet 480 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: to discover anything of non terrestrial origin, even though there 481 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: are unexplained aerial phenomena, even though these things are doing 482 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: aerial maneuvers that we find to be impossible, there's been 483 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: no tangible evidence ever recovered organic inorganic, No unexplained debris 484 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: has ever been recovered. And I have to tell you 485 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: this is one of the biggest reasons I don't buy 486 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: into any of the UFO conspiracy theories. Right here, we 487 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: went to the Moon. And what is the first thing 488 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: that we did, the very first time that we put 489 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: humans on the Moon, the very first time someone physically 490 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: set foot on another celestial body. What is the first 491 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: thing we did? Left crap behind? In fact, the very 492 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: first time we ever said anything from Earth to another 493 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: celestial body, The first thing we did was leave craft behind. 494 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: The very first chance we got to put something on Mars. 495 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: What did we do? We crashed it in, left crap there. 496 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: The fact that we don't have any evidence of debris 497 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: from any other extraterrestrial civilization tells me they haven't been here. 498 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: What we found is something unique and unexplainable. We don't 499 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: know what it is, and because we don't know what 500 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: it is, we allow our minds to wander in, our 501 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: imaginations to take over. Again. That's the whole reason I 502 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: love space crap in the first place, though I also 503 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: love completely absurd nutty spit. I'm using not actually saliva mark, 504 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: you're looking at me, funny, No, it's fine. I got 505 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: to ask if a civilization is advanced enough for interstellar travel, 506 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: might they not also be advanced enough not to litter 507 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: on the places they go? Oh? You think maybe they're 508 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: just really good at recycling. Maybe they just put half 509 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: pick up after themselves. Or maybe they don't care, right, 510 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: Maybe they don't need to clean up after them They're like, 511 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: we're so advanced, we don't need to We're probably just 512 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: livestock to them anyway, Why should they care? Exactly? Thank you, 513 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: serve man. It's just like the old Twilight Zone episode again. 514 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: I can't get enough of it. I love this crap 515 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: because it allows our imaginations are run wild. Mark. I 516 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: make a point, you make a counterpoint. We both have merritt. 517 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: I love it. This is why I love space crap. 518 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: Love it all right, I'll talk some more. That's an 519 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: other random spit. Next, it's Chris merrill In for John 520 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: and Ken Cafe. I Am six forty Live everywhere on 521 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: your iHeartRadio APPA. One of the strangest stories that is 522 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: popping here this weekend, and I love a good bizarre story. 523 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: It's Chris merrill In for John and Ken Caf I 524 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: Am six forty. It's more stimulating talk one of the 525 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: one of the greats. Here. I love this story because 526 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: it's so freaking bizarre. Was the story of Mona Lisa 527 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: getting hungry. I can only assume she was hungry because 528 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: someone tried to feed the painting from ABC. Here. There 529 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: is new video out of Paris this morning that shows 530 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: the mess left behind after somebody decided to smear cake 531 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: right over the Mona Lisa. Look at this footage. Why cake? 532 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: You're in France, you want to do something with cake, 533 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: and you decide Mona Lisa was Murrie Antoinette busy. Look 534 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: at this footage in the center there you see him 535 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: in cleaning that cake off the artworks protective glass. How 536 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: is he cleaning it off? You know, he's just gonna 537 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: he's licking his thnumb and he's just gonna just hold still, Junior, 538 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: We're just gonna kind of wipe this. It's got a 539 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: little bit on the side of your face here, come on, Dan, Yeah, 540 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: it does have glass protecting it. It happened yesterday. People 541 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: at the loops say that the man dressed up as 542 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: an old lady jumped out of a wheelchair smeared the 543 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: cake over the glass. Yeah, people heard him yelling out 544 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: quote think about the planet end quote. The man was 545 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: eventually removed by security. Leonardo da Vinci's famous artwork unharmed 546 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: thanks to the glass. Think about the planet. What what 547 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: does cake on a Mona Lisa have do with the planet. 548 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: I know I'll destroy something priceless in order to draw 549 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: positive attention on my my my major issue. Yeah, no, 550 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't really work. I was reading up on this 551 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. I guess they had the guards were 552 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: cleaning cake from the glass, don't you think? And I 553 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: could be mistaken on this, but I'm just thinking, if 554 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm in charge of the Mona Lisa, I'm a guard. 555 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: Let's say I'm a guard. Let's see you're a guard. 556 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's make this your fault. Let's see you're 557 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: a guard at the Louver in France, right, and Petterie 558 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: we and someone does something as asinine is throwing a 559 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: cake and no telling if it was chocolate cake or 560 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: angel food cake. We really don't know, although it would 561 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: make a big difference as far as the cleaning process, 562 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: or say an oreo cake of something of some sort. 563 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: Just to suppose then that you are in charge of 564 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: this thing, and uh, and someone throws cake on it. 565 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: I'll granted that the the painting has a glass cover. 566 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: Do you know why the painting has a glass cover 567 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: because some goober back in the nineteen fifties through acid 568 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: on the Mona Lisa. Yeah. So then they said, well, 569 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: we just can't have nice things, and they had to 570 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: put glass over it so that nobody could throw acid 571 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: on the Mona Lisa. Again, this guy, instead of acid, decides, Ah, 572 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: I got it. I won't I won't destroy that painting 573 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: with acid. I'll destroy it with diabetes. Yeah, cake and 574 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: off it goes. So they have to cover it with glass, 575 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: and Dufus throws cake on it. Now, if you are 576 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: in charge, let's say you're one of the guards and 577 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: you get a hold of this U this jokester, this, 578 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: this activist, it decides that the best way that they 579 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: can make some sort of a statement is by using 580 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: the cake on the Mona Lisa. Do you run right 581 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: over there with a handkerchief and start wiping it off? Now, 582 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: I know the painting is actor, it's behind glass. I 583 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: get that, but I don't I don't think it's I 584 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: think it. I mean, maybe I'm mistaken here. I'm just 585 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: looking at the photograph itself of what's going on, and 586 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: it appears and maybe this is meant to maybe this 587 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: is a deceptive, but intentionally so. It appears that the 588 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa is in a frame like you would have 589 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: a framed picture in your home, with a piece of 590 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: glass over the front, again, like you would have a 591 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: picture in your home. Now, I can only assume that 592 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: this glass is probably reinforced somehow, probably not just a 593 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: pain that they picked up at the local ace hardware, 594 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: you know. I think this is probably security glass of 595 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,239 Speaker 1: some sort, But it does not appear like that. You know, 596 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: that glass and casement that they have for the Declaration 597 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: of Independence. It doesn't appear to be something like that. Again, 598 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: I could be mistaken. Maybe it's just maybe it is, 599 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: but it's deceptively made in the manner that makes it 600 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: look like it's not. But I'm just supposing that if 601 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: this is in fact just a piece of glass with 602 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: on the frame again, maybe more of a security glass, 603 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't think i'd run right over there and start 604 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: cleaning it up and start wiping it down. I think 605 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: I would want to have one of the one of 606 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: the museumers take care of that when you want to 607 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: have some sort of an art professional, what do they 608 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: call them, curators, some sort of an art deco person, 609 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: somebody at least named art come over and clean that 610 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: thing off, because I would be terrified of, I don't know, 611 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: slashing the glass around in the frame and doing damage. 612 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: But whatever, the guards took care of it. They got 613 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: the glass cleaned off, and of course everybody was in 614 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: line to see them on a lease and they all 615 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: started taking pictures of it. What are you gonna do? Oh, 616 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: real quick, I got to just a minute left. Let 617 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: me see if I can make you a little bit 618 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: safer this summer. I hate bugs. I hate them. Not 619 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: a big fan of mosquitoes. And my wife keeps buying 620 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: into these really dumb mosquito things, like you know, the 621 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 1: little bracelets that look like an old phone cord that 622 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: the they wrapped up, that's what it looks like. And 623 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: my wife keeps buying these and saying, put this on 624 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: your wrist. They'll keep the mosquitoes. A way does not 625 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: keep the mosquitoes away. Those citronella candles that you get right, 626 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: do not keep the mosquitoes away. Now I know that 627 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: you've been told they do, and I know that they 628 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: smell good. If you want to burn one of those 629 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: citronella candles outside on the deck while you're enjoying your 630 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: your Memorial Day barbecue, then then go ahead and do 631 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: so because you like the smell. But don't expect it 632 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: to actually work on bugs or mosquitoes or anything like that. 633 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: That is just not the case. And I tell people this. 634 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: I grew up in the backwoods. I know this. How 635 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: do you keep bugs away? You have to have something 636 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 1: with deet in it. You want to keep mosquitoes away, 637 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: you have to use something with deet in it. Or 638 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: there's also another one called the piccardon picardon, I believe 639 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: that you can put on your clothing or if you're 640 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: camping or whatever, you can use that. If you're not 641 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: using something with deet or this picardon, you're probably not 642 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: going to keep the mosquitoes away. Although there is a 643 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: good and easy, cheap way to keep mosquitos away from you. 644 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: Fans work wounders. Mosquitoes are terrible flyers, and a fan 645 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: will keep them away. Did you know have a bug 646 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: free summer?
